Planetary forecast for May 4th - Amavasya thithi

Amavasya tithi, the last day and night before New Moon, will begin this evening (May 3, 2019) around 6:30 PM Eastern Time. The New Moon/Pratipada tithi will culminate tomorrow evening (May 4, 2019) around 6:45 PM Eastern Time. Now and until tomorrow evening, we are in the darkest time of the lunar month, which is an opportune time to go within, rest, and let go!

May 4th New Moon will occur at approximately 20 degrees of sidereal Aries in Bharani nakshatra. Both the New Moon and the sign of Aries represent initiation and new beginnings, whereas Bharani nakshatra symbolizes the principle of rejuvenation. 

 Bharani's shakti is the power to carry things away. It is ruled by the deity Yama, the god of death, who carries the soul away at the end of life. This makes the following month a good one for endings. This is a great time to get rid of anything that isn't serving you any more, and to make room for a new, more beneficial element to enter. Yama is also the god that rules dharma, so for this period it is good to realign yourself with your sense of purpose. A good thing to avoid during this period is the judgment of other people, and especially judgments that are related to feelings of things not being fair. 

Just remember that everything that happens in our life is due to our own karma. The people who seem to cause you distress, are only an apparent cause, not the real cause. The real cause is your own karma. If you really understand that, you will end up taking complete responsibility for your own life, and you will never judge other people.

Lord Hanuman is an epitome of strength, service and devotion! And these are the qualities that Saturn is trying to teach us through his placement in our birth charts and his transits.

Our Indian mythology is full of deep secrets. What is the connection between Lord Hanuman and Pranayama ?

Lord Hanuman is the son of Vayu the wind God
Prana is nothing but our own life force energy / Breath

Praying to Lord Hanuman gives us the power to imbibe his qualities and that is why Hanuman Chalisa is the biggest relief to handle the Saturn energy in our lives.

And today being Shani Amavasya please do pranayama because it is one of the BEST remedies for Saturn.
