Full Moon in Swati April 24 2024

Full moon in Swati
Wednesday April 24th, 01:49 CET, 10° Libra

The moon will reach peak fullness in the sign of Libra, in a nakshatra by the name of Swati, ‘the sword’, providing a forceful and magnetic energy to this full moon!

Also called ‘the independent one’, this nakshatra is depicted as a tiny sprout, swaying in the wind, showing the flexible yet sometimes restless energy that can be seen here. This is also shown in part by the ruling deity of this nakshatra, which is Vayu, the god of wind. Vayu relates to the breath and to the vital life force that sustains life, without which we can only survive for mere minutes.

The planetary ruler for Swati is Rahu, the north node of the moon, showing the urge to manifest the creative energy and set things in motion. As this nakshatra fully resides within the sign of Libra, which is ruled by Venus, there is an added influence of the Venusian quality to this full moon as well, showing the gentle quality that can be seen with this nakshatra, and the desire to create meaningful and harmonious connections. Venus and Rahu together can also magnify our desires and the restlessness we can feel when things don’t go our way or when something doesn’t manifest quickly enough for our liking. Keep focused on maintaining a positive state of mind and do things that help you keep calm this full moon.

Because of the link to the element of air with this nakshatra, there can be a strong benefit during this full moon to calm your mind by doing breath work in combination with your meditation practice or just taking pause every now and then to be mindful of your breath.

Questions for reflection:

❧ How can I create more harmony within my relationships?

❧ Am I neglecting or compromising with my own needs or desires in order to accommodate someone else, or to maintain status quo?

❧ Am I following my own vision, what I wish to create, and honoring my own truth?

❧ How is my sense of self-worth? Do I feel that I have a purpose? What can I do (or who can I serve) to create a stronger sense of meaning in my life?

❧ What beliefs, or patterns, am I ready to let go of, in order for me to become a new and better version of myself?

Happy full moon & many blessings!
