The New Moon on August 12 is a total solar eclipse. In areas of totality, including parts of Iceland and Spain, the Sun will be eclipsed as it sets, creating a striking spectacle. Traditionally, we are advised not to watch eclipses but to turn inward. I believe we can do both. Observing the outer world while remaining aware of the one who is observing can be deeply illuminating. This is an essential lesson of the lunar nodes: witness what is happening without becoming consumed by it.Insights are more likely when the Sun, Moon, Earth and lunar nodes align. Ketu and the eclipsed Sun occupy different divisions of the sidereal zodiac, bringing both Cancer and Leo into focus. Eclipses reveal and conceal, so bear in mind that the full picture may not be immediately apparent.We would usually look to Jupiter for guidance, but Jupiter is also involved in this eclipse, as it is hidden by an eclipsed Sun. Although it emerges from combustion by the end of the month, whatever insights arise, keep them close to your chest until matters become clearer. At the same time, this eclipse is asking you to let go of something you may have a hard time letting go of. The eclipse occurs in Āśleṣā, a complex lunar mansion at the end of Cancer. Symbolised by a coiled serpent and ruled by the serpent deities, the Sarpas, it represents attachment, instinct, and entanglement. It may also reflect kuṇḍalinī śakti—the coiled energy at the base of the spine—and the spiral of DNA, connecting it with healing.This eclipse represents a shedding of skin, a deep process of emotionally letting go. With Ketu's help, we are asked to loosen our attachments and transform basic survival instincts into something more conscious and evolved.

Adriana Lestido, an Argentinian newspaper photographer, captured a mother and her young daughter raising their arms in protest in 1982. With clenched fists and anguished faces, they were wearing white handkerchiefs tied around their heads representing the struggle for justice for the disappeared during Argentina's military dictatorship.The photo became a symbol of the resistance and is still used today. It embodies the spirit of the Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo who would meet once a week demanding the return of their loved ones.

The Ajna Chakra, or Third Eye Chakra, is the sixth energy center, representing intuition, perception, and wisdom. It connects us to inner awareness and deeper truths beyond ordinary sight. Symbolised by an indigo lotus with two petals, it represents the balance of dual energies, Ida and Pingala. The Om symbol at its centre signifies the unity of all states of consciousness, leading to self-realisation. The upward triangle represents the ascension of insight, while the crescent moon and bindu symbolise intuition and focus. Hakini Shakti, the divine feminine force, enhances inner perception and wisdom, holding symbols of knowledge, impermanence and meditation. The Rudra Granthi knot can distort perception, leading to spiritual arrogance or skepticism. When balanced, Ajna offers clarity and discernment. This practice integrates asana, pranayama, mudra, and mantra, invoking the divine energies of Hakini Shakti and Shiva to awaken the third eye.To read more and to practice with Zephyr Wildman, click here.

The New Moon in Taurus occurs in Rohiṇī, the Moon's favourite lunar mansion. Rohiṇī means “the red one,” reflecting its warmth, sensuality, and creative energy. Symbolised by a chariot and ruled by the god of creation, it brings a fertile, abundant energy—ideal for envisioning new beginnings, though the actual day of the New Moon is better suited for reflection and planning rather than action.With Venus exalted by degree, there's a heightened appreciation for beauty, love, and comfort, even if tangible results aren't yet visible. This adds to Rohiṇī's natural flair for luxury and accumulation.However, challenges arise: Mars is debilitated in Cancer, and all visible planets lie on one side of the Lunar Nodes, forming an intense kālsarpa yoga. This configuration, along with Uranus near the New Moon, signals instability.Though Taurus prefers predictability, these transits demand adaptability. Be open to unexpected shifts and find ways to ground yourself mentally as the month unfolds. This New Moon invites both inner steadiness and outer flexibility to navigate a rapidly changing landscape.

The prowess of the Roman empire was imbued with courage and militarism. Symbolised by the combative male soldier, Michael Edward Stewart‘s tool of historical enquiry is masculinity. In his book, The Soldier's Life: Martial Virtues and Manly Romanitas in the Early Byzantine Empire (Kismet Press, 2016), Stewart explores whether theological constructions of manhood as ascetic and pacifist changed the contours of manly Romanitas. From the martial metaphors of Synesius of Cyrene, to the third gender of Eunuchs, to the paganism of Emperor Julian to the piety of Theodosius I – The Soldier's Life reminds us that gender has been constructed for centuries. The fluidity of boundaries and power in this ancient construct of masculinity makes a poignant case against restrictive binaries and static hegemony.
