Significant Dates

Dates to be aware of:

• 1/15-16: Sankranti

  • Sankranti is the day the Sun moves signs, and is said to be inauspicious for beginnings due the instability it creates in the sky

• 1/19-20, 2/5: Ekadashi (11th phase of waxing and waning moon)

  • Ekadashi is a fiery day which has the energy of Mars. Under it’s influence, people are prone to fighting, arguments and irritation. It is a good day for hard work but not great for harmony. This is not an ideal day for anything which is centered on relationship. It IS, however, a great day for fasting if you have problems with conflict/Mars in your life.

• 1/25: Full Moon

• 2/1: Mercury into Capricorn

• 2/5: Mars into Capricorn

• 2/3-5: Moon is debilitated in Scorpio

  • Expect lower energy levels and some moodiness

• 2/9: Amavasya (empty Moon)

  • This is a day for spiritual practice, observing silence, fasting, relaxing and avoiding conflict. Because it has a destructive energy it also conducive to demolishing, tearing apart (think: weeding), cleaning and generally getting rid of things. It’s actually one of the best days to give up a bad habit.
