New Moon in Aries in Aswini Nakshatra
Apr 16, 2026 6:31 am
Dear Friend,
The New Moon in Aśvinī is one of the triggers in the month of April that helps us move forward, but that only takes us close to the Saturn-Mars conjunction. However, Aśvinī, associated with the Aśvin twins, will eventually indicate speed, agility, and endurance, but on the flip side, it can also indicate problems in follow-through of what we start or initiate. The New Moon is a good moment for us to plant some seed at an internal level because now is not the time to announce or start something externally. It is good to create an internal shift that is mindful and helpful at a psychological level.
The Ṛgveda, in verses 1.118 and 1.119, offers a very vivid picture of how the Aśvins operate. They are invoked as those who respond immediately when called, arriving in a swiftly moving chariot that bridges distance almost effortlessly. In one verse, they are praised for restoring one who had fallen into decline back into vitality, almost as though reversing time itself. In another verse, they are described as rescuing someone from a place of danger and bringing them safely across, suggesting not just healing, but transitioning from a state of vulnerability into one of movement and continuation. This new moon is useful for us to break stagnation.

Astrologer Meghna Bhagat's event is one of those moments that you can gift yourself as a starting point to shift internally to break the stagnation and also, Meghna Bhagat is an exceptional speaker, currently offering a course starting this weekend through Kepler College called "Speak to Shine: Master your Astrological Voice", where she shares her invaluable insights. As a New Moon in Aśvinī gift, you can grab this opportunity by initiating a deeply internal process that is destined to culminate in an external manifestation.
Astrologer Dani Fornarino joined me on my YouTube channel to talk about the New Moon in Aśvinī in Aries. I recommend that you check out Dani's services in astrology, and she is also an exponent of Āyurveda. I am sure her offerings will support your way forward, which helps you align with the cosmic order.

My Book on Jyotiṣa
As many of you know, I am preparing to publish a portion of my Year-1 Diploma course material as a book, titled Foundations & Frameworks of Indian Astrology - Volume 1: Essentials of Jyotiṣa. I conceived this material with a deep commitment to dispelling misconceptions surrounding Jyotiṣa and returning to the authentic wisdom found in the ancient Vedic texts.
In this book, I dive into the symbolism and metaphysical rationale of the planets, Nakṣatras, houses, sidereal zodiac, and many other topics deeply rooted in creation itself. My intention is to create a comprehensive resource that goes beyond the surface to uncover the deeper meanings that guide us in understanding our life’s journey.
While this volume covers only half of the Year-1 course material, my broader vision is to develop a five-year course that will continue to evolve. My ultimate goal is to create a repository of Jyotiṣa that serves future generations long after I am gone.
If you feel called to support this mission, I would be deeply honored to welcome your contribution. Your support will enable me to continue drawing from timeless classics and the Vedas to build meaningful course materials and texts.
