Bharat Astro Veda

New Moon = Beginning of a New Cycle

Amavasya (New Moon) Timings

India (IST): Sep 10, 10:35 am to Sep 11, 8:55 am
USA (PDT): Sep 9, 10:05 pm to Sep 10, 8:25 pm

A powerful New Moon is forming at 24° Leo, in Purva Phalguni Nakshatra, alongside Ketu. With the Sun, Moon, and Ketu together, this lunation is about taking off the mask, finding our true identity, discovering our soul. New Moon means the beginning of a new cycle. Planting new seeds. This New Moon in Leo is asking us to become the King, to reclaim our kingdom.

New Moon Rituals

  • Do Tarpan, ancestral ritual with water and black sesame seeds facing the South direction. This should be done on the night of September 9 in US and the night of Sep 10 in India.
  • Let go of things and relationships that are not serving you
  • Allow outdated identities to fall away. Get rid of that mask.
  • Lead from the heart rather than from pride or ego.
  • Start a new chapter.

Namaste,
​Amit Garg
