Suggested Practice: Durga Rising - A Lunar Ritual of Courage and Grace

Full Moon Temple

This ritual is a devotional journey into the fierce and loving presence of Durga — the radiant warrior goddess who awakens within us during times of courage, clarity, and change.

Astrological Overview: The Aries Full Moon illuminates questions of identity, independence, desire, and personal agency. Opposite the Libra Sun, it reveals the delicate balance between honoring ourselves and maintaining meaningful relationships. Meanwhile, the Sun's trine to Pluto offers an opportunity to reclaim personal power and transform something that has felt beyond your control.

Lunar Gateway 🌕 Aries Full Moon: Aries asks the simple question: What do you want? After weeks of Virgo refinement and Libra consideration, this Full Moon reconnects us with instinct, courage, and individuality. Notice where compromise has become self-abandonment, or where independence has made it difficult to receive support. Healthy relationships make room for both I and we.

Reflection: Where am I ready to choose myself without closing my heart to others?

Crystal: Carnelian or Fire Agate
