January’s Full Moon in Gemini: Realign with Purpose Under the Star of Renewal
MOON IN GEMINI | PUNARVASU NAKSHATRA | VEDIC ASTROLOGY
On Monday, January 13th, the Full Moon shines brightly in Gemini, aligned with Punarvasū Nakshatra — the Star of Renewal. This constellation reflects hope, resilience, and the return to one’s authentic nature.
Ruled by Jupiter and symbolised by a quiver of arrows, Punarvasū represents renewal, resilience, and the ability to begin again after challenges. It invites introspection and alignment with higher wisdom, encouraging us to refine our vision and take intentional steps toward our svadharma (personal purpose, duty, and calling).
Aditi, the nakshatra deity of Punarvasū, embodies boundlessness and universal nourishment, reminding us of the infinite potential for renewal and growth. She is the cosmic mother, sustaining dharma and offering shelter to all beings. Her energy invites us to rise above limiting beliefs and reconnect with our innate wholeness.
Opposing this Full Moon is the Sun in Sagittarius, emphasising the importance of discernment. What have we been learning, and where are we headed? Jupiter, the benefic planetary ruler of both Sagittarius and Punarvasū, shines its expansive and nourishing energy on both ends of this cosmic axis. This alignment supports spiritual pursuits, travel, study, teaching, and reconnecting with inner truth.
With Jupiter currently retrograde in Taurus, this cosmic moment encourages reflection on spiritual goals, values, and material foundations, inviting a more deliberate alignment with our highest purpose.
As the Sun transitions into Capricorn the next day, Hindus celebrate Makara Saṅkrānti, a significant festival marking this celestial shift. This transition also signifies the Sun’s northward journey, known as Uttarayana — a period revered for its auspiciousness, promoting spiritual growth, prosperity, and new beginnings.
This is an ideal moment to reflect on what’s overflowing in your life — the emotions, patterns, or beliefs that need to be transformed. By letting go of what no longer serves us, we create space to bring clarity and structure to our plans as we move forward.
Full Moon Intention:
Release mental and emotional clutter to make space for renewal, alignment, and purposeful growth. Focus on yogic and other spiritual or creative practices that unite body, mind and soul.
Journal This:
➽ What mindset or emotion am I ready to transform and release?
➽ What clarity and I seeking right now?
➽ Name the steps will help you realign with your highest truth and purpose.
Let the nourishing energy of Punarvasū guide you to rekindle your inner light, clear your path, and step confidently into the next chapter of your journey!
Rise up to meet your vision.
