Soften Inner Resistance on September’s New Moon ~Vedic Astrology and Yogic Guidance
As I land and settle into my beautiful new home that I’ve envisioned for a very long time and now have successfully manifested, I’m confronted by old patterns of resistance — to feeling, to change, to grief work — which is essential to move through on our path towards living our authentic nature and highest vision as sensitive, gifted womxn in this yuga (age of time) that doesn’t support our prakriti (nature).
Are you in a power struggle with yourself?
It takes the king-like power of the Sun and courage of Mars, both warrior energy to confront our overactive mental stories and uncomfortable physical body sensations or even numbness created by distractions. What is the solution to this resistance of feeling and meeting our shadows?
THE UPCOMING NEW MOON
On 7th September (UK time), the Moon undergoes her rebirth, appearing New in the sign of Leo, ruled by Surya, the Sun, which will be strong in the sky at this time. An opportunity is here to confront what is hidden in the darkness of our subconscious and unearth the clarity that is much needed for our self-awareness, our conscious light.
Moon will be in Venus-ruled Purvaphalguni nakshatra, increasing the energy of prosperity, material gains, creativity, and the arts — even the martial arts. ‘Phal’ means fruit. What seed do you desire to plant for the ripening of your future success and enjoyment? Notice the abundance already here, and receive and invite in pleasure.
Allow in a time of rejuvenation, a sense of happiness and flow on this New Moon — the opposite of resistance.
What is on the other side of our avoidance?
What are we holding on to that we can grant ourselves a break from? Below I’ve provided a few journaling questions which will help guide you to set your own intention during the moon’s renewal — our own inner renewal.
Don’t be afraid to sit on the powerful throne of your own kingdom. Meet your resistance and soften this inner struggle, begin afresh for this new month and welcome new life, new passion, new relationships (including with Self), and a new awareness.
NEW MOON INTENTIONS
Lean into your resistance. Clear the path forward for more useful, feel-good energy to arrive. Cultivation of self-awareness creates more space to make harder but worthwhile choices for long-term well-being and fulfilment.
JOURNAL THIS:

YOGA ENERGY READING
AJNA
Third eye chakra
The centre between your brows is the meeting point of the nadis, ida and pingala (the parasympathic and sympathetic nervous system through which prana flows) and the central channel, sushumna. We awaken our intuitive powerhouse by focussing on the ajna chakra, the gateway that is beyond the physical world of our five senses.
Pay attention to dreams right now and to your daytime visions, what messages and meanings are awakening for you? These are essential pieces of information that can guide you to your true and authentic path.
A reminder to ground into your physical body through pranayama and yogic postures before surrendering to the higher wisdom and visions that can arrive through third eye activation. Get to know how your physical body responds to intuitive nudges, lean into where you feel resistance, start trusting the messages that you may not wish to hear.
Let yourself unfold onto your soul’s journey that surpasses all limitations. The path illuminates as you take new steps.
