The first New moon of the year will happen at 12:35 pm on January 29th, 2025 (UTC) at 15°38 Capricorn. The Nakshatra is Shravana and the Navamsha is Taurus, where the Moon is exalted.
One of my jobs is working as an interpreter. Usually, when we think of an interpreter, we think of “speaking,” but the most important task of an interpreter is “to listen” What does the person want to say? To accurately convey that nuance in a different language, we first must have the ability to listen.
It is the same in normal conversations. What does the other person really want to say? It is very important to listen to it as much as possible without tainting it with our own filter. This is because if we belittle ourselves, no matter what the other person says to us, it will only sound like they belittled us, and if we are angry at ourselves, the other person may only sound like they are saying something that will trigger that anger.
Let us think about what we are “listening to” with this new moon. It may not be only words but also an energy or a feeling. When we can properly understand the other person’s intentions, conversations will also flow more smoothly. Lord Ganesha’s ear is big, so that he can listen well. Om Shanti.
