Full Moon in Viśākhā

The Full Moon reaches its peak at the end of Libra, in the lunar mansion Viśākhā. This lunar mansion spans Libra and Scorpio, blending the softness of Venus with the intensity of Mars. Its name, meaning "two-branched," symbolises choice and duality—often linked to Libra’s scales. In the Vedic tradition, Viśākhā is also symbolised by a decorated archway, representing milestones and commitment.

Viśākhā inspires willpower, ambition, and the courage to pursue our goals. While it supports focused determination, it also allows for compromise. Ruled by Agni (fire) and Indra (king of the gods), it carries strong spiritual and transformative energy.

This Full Moon is ideal for spiritual practice, healing, and committing to a clear path. With the Sun exalted in Aries, decision-making is bold and confident, even if clarity takes time. Venus, also exalted in Pisces, encourages acceptance and helps us release what no longer serves us, especially as it moves past the recent eclipse degree.

As Venus, Mercury, and Jupiter align opposite the Moon, this lunation brings resolution and optimism, making it easier to choose a path and feel good about it.
