## Resource

In today's segment we discuss the New Moon in Ashwini, which marks new beginnings and a fresh perspective. Ashwini is the first of the 27 nakshatras and is often associated with healing, rejuvenation, passion, and impulse. This nakshatra is fast-moving and action-oriented, so there may be a strong urge to begin something new or make a quick decision. It’s a good time for energetic intentions, but it’s important to stay mindful of impulsivity. Akshaya Tritiya is coming up on April 19th, which is traditionally associated with long-term growth and lasting results. Actions taken now are believed to have staying power. Akshaya Tritya lands on a day of intensity this year, so be sure to focus on Dharma, Service, and Sincerity. We are still working with Yama Yoga (through May 11) keeping an environment of intensity. This combination can feel restrictive or frustrating, as Mars pushes forward while Saturn slows things down. It may bring pressure, delays, or a need to take responsibility and act with more discipline. On a more exciting note, Venus will enter Taurus on April 19th, which will provide stability and sensuality. This is a strong placement for Venus and can help with grounding, relationships, and focusing on what is steady and sustainable.
