This New Moon in Vishakha, known as the Star of Purpose, illuminates the sacred crossroads of destiny the place where two paths meet, and the soul is called to choose its higher direction. Vishakha, meaning “the forked branch,” symbolizes the moment of discernment between the old and the new, between what keeps you comfortable and what draws you toward growth.

This lunation invites a deep commitment to the soul’s true aim, asking you to align your life with what nourishes your higher becoming. The ruling deities of this nakshatra, Indra and Agni, lend their potent energies to this moment: Indra bestows clarity, leadership, and divine authority, while Agni, the sacred fire, burns away stagnation and purifies the path ahead. Together, they inspire courage, purification, and illumination, guiding you to shed distractions and walk with purpose.

As Jupiter, the planetary ruler of Vishakha, governs this lunation, it expands faith, broadens vision, and opens channels to higher wisdom, supporting new beginnings born from truth rather than fear. Because this New Moon falls in Libra, the sign of balance, harmony, and relationship, it reminds you that your purpose is not meant to exist in isolation.

Every seed of intention planted now should honor both self and other how your dharma contributes to the collective, how devotion meets partnership, how giving and receiving can coexist in equilibrium.

As you stand before this threshold, ask yourself: what am I ready to step into, and what must I release in order to pass through? This New Moon marks a moment of profound choice, purification, and renewal — a call to awaken your inner fire, trust your divine direction, and move forward with clarity, devotion, and grace.
