February Full Moon in Ashlesha – A Karmic Release
Hello Seekers, The February Full Moon occurs in Ashlesha Nakshatra at 29° of Cancer in Vedic Sidereal Astrology. I mention this degree because it carries intense karmic significance, known as Gandanta—meaning a karmic knot. This is a transition point, a moment of deep release, transformation, and endings before new beginnings.
Since November 2024, every Full Moon through to April 2025 has been occurring at 29°—a rare pattern that signals closure, completion of past cycles, and karmic shifts. This isn’t just a personal transformation; it is playing out collectively, contributing to the intensified planetary shifts, extreme weather events, and heightened emotional turbulence many of us are feeling.
This Full Moon isn’t about new beginnings—it’s about letting go, wrapping up unfinished business, and closing chapters that no longer serve you. If something has been lingering unresolved, now is the time to surrender it.
Cancer is the sign of the mother, emotions, and the home, so themes around family, safety, and emotional nourishment may come up. This moon could bring awareness to what makes you feel emotionally secure—and where you still need healing.
The energy of Ashlesha is intense, and full moons already heighten emotions, so staying grounded is key. Breathwork, meditation, and deep reflection will support karmic release and heightened intuition. If you’ve been doing inner work, this is a moment to integrate the lessons and clear emotional blockages for good.
Now that we’re fully into 2025, are you honouring the work-life balance you intended for yourself? Or are you already falling back into old patterns of overworking or emotional burnout? This Full Moon asks you to pause, reflect, and realign with your values. Prioritise emotional nourishment over external obligations.
From a spiritual perspective, the symbol of Ashlesha Nakshatra is the serpent, representing Kundalini energy—the dormant spiritual force at the base of the spine. This moon is an invitation to awaken your inner Shakti, to channel your power into transformation and deeper spiritual awareness.
Are you ready to transcend your old patterns into something powerful?
