New Moon in Mula

New Moon in Mula ~ Friday, December 19th at 5:43 PM PT

The year closes with a New Moon in Mūla, a nakshatra symbolized by roots bound together, like medicinal herbs gathered for healing. Mūla is not about surface fixes or cosmetic adjustments. It is about going to the root, understanding what truly sustains life and what no longer does. Not surprisingly, many healers, herbalists, and those drawn to deep restorative work have strong Mūla placements in their charts.

This New Moon supports profound healing, especially the kind that comes from gently but decisively uprooting what isn’t working, old patterns, obligations, or stories that have lost their vitality. When something has completed its purpose, Mūla teaches us that it is okay to let it be finished. Clearing at the root allows life energy to flow again, without drag or residue.

What makes this lunation especially significant is its proximity to the Winter Solstice, which is currently aligning with the Galactic Center, an alignment that has been unfolding for the last couple of decades and will continue for the rest of this century. This time carries the symbolism of a cosmic reset, a realignment with a deeper intelligence. On a collective level, we see this reflected in the urgent need for healing, environmentally, socially, and geopolitically. On a personal level, it invites us to realign with what is essential.

The presiding deity of Mūla is Nirṛti, who is often misunderstood. She is not about chaos for its own sake, but about necessary dissolution, the kind that clears the ground so new life can emerge.

Deity: Nirriti, the goddess of dissolution, shadow, and protection.
Mantra: 🔴 Om Nirttaye Namah
