This Week's Guidance
Mar 16 — 22, 2026
New Moon in Uttara Bhadrapada as the nakshatra cycle completes and restarts. A rare week of endings and beginnings — plant your intentions as spring arrives.
This is a week of endings and beginnings — the rare kind where they happen almost simultaneously. By Thursday, the Moon goes completely dark. By Saturday, an entirely new cycle begins. The space between holds everything.
Monday and Tuesday carry the final thinning of light. The Moon moves through Dhanishta and Shatabhisha, nakshatras connected to rhythm and healing. You might feel restless, like something is building toward release. Mars-ruled Dhanishta drums with forward motion even as the light fades; Shatabhisha, presided over by Varuna the cosmic healer, invites you to tend what needs mending before the reset. These days favor clearing — finishing what's incomplete, releasing what you've been carrying too long, making space.
Wednesday and Thursday bring the week's pivotal passage. The Moon enters the Bhadrapada pair: Purva Bhadrapada on Wednesday, fierce and burning, ruled by Jupiter and presided over by Aja Ekapada — a one-footed goat, symbol of focused ascetic power. This is purification energy. Then Thursday's New Moon arrives in Uttara Bhadrapada, Saturn's deep nakshatra presided over by Ahir Budhnya, the serpent of the cosmic depths. At 0% illumination, this is the seed moment. What you hold in your heart here carries forward. Be deliberate. What do you actually want to grow?
Friday marks an extraordinary transition. The Moon passes through Revati — the 27th and final nakshatra of the zodiac — completing the entire lunar star cycle. Ruled by Mercury and presided over by Pushan, the nourishing shepherd, Revati carries things safely to completion. If something in your life has been winding down, let Friday honor its ending. By Saturday, the Moon enters Ashwini — nakshatra number one, the very beginning, ruled by Ketu and presided over by the Ashwini Kumaras, divine physicians. Fresh energy floods in. New things become possible.
Sunday in Bharani grounds the new cycle. Venus-ruled and presided over by Yama, lord of dharma and death, Bharani holds the womb energy of new creation. The seeds you planted at Thursday's New Moon are taking root. Don't dig them up to check — trust what you've begun.
This week asks for both surrender and intention. Let the old cycle complete. Plant clearly in the dark. Welcome what begins.
I complete what is ready to end, I begin what is ready to grow — I trust the turning.
New Moon Intention Seed
On Thursday evening, find a quiet space and sit comfortably. Light a candle if you wish — the only light in the darkest night. Close your eyes and breathe slowly.
Feel the weight of what you're ready to release: old patterns, completed chapters, what no longer fits. With your exhale, let them go.
Then ask yourself: what do I genuinely want to grow? Not what you think you should want — what actually calls to you. When clarity comes, hold that intention like a seed in your palm.
Feel its weight, its potential. Place your hands on your heart and plant it there. The waxing moon will nurture it. For now, simply trust the dark soil.
