Gemini (Mithuna)

The creativity and joy within is what this full moon illuminates. You might feel a strong artistic, romantic, or playful urge right now.

Leo (Simha)

For you, the pre-eminence of communication, learning, and clarity will emerge. Chaitra Purnima may bring to light various truths in conversations or inner dialogues.

Affirmation: I communicate clearly and listen consciously.

Virgo (Kanya)

This full moon gives you a shine about your money and self-worth. Are your resources befitting your values? Insights into money issues and the release of limiting beliefs about abundance are likely to be found. Devote yourself to practically improving your financial and emotional security.

Libra (Tula)

The full moon is presenting some emotional realisations and a more sensitive atmosphere for you. It’s time to contemplate your own identity, desires, and emotional needs.

Affirmation: I honour my truth and honour my emotional power.

Scorpio (Vrischika)

This full moon is highly spiritual and introspective for you, where old wounds or subconscious patterns are coming to the surface for healing. Spend time alone, meditate, or perform spiritual rituals. You are called to let go of anything that doesn't serve your soul anymore.

Affirmation: I peacefully and trustingly release the wisdom within me.

Sagittarius (Dhanu)

Chaitra Purnima triggers personal networks and visions of the future. Friends, networks, or one's place will all come into focus in the collective's life. Use this energy to set up objectives for the long haul. Collaborate and share your vision, but give some time for reflection as well.

Affirmation: I align with people and goals that uplift and inspire me.

Capricorn (Makara)

Aquarius (Kumbha)

The mind is unchained because of this full moon, awakening higher thoughts and spiritual wisdom. Travel, philosophy, or education may be the spotlight. You are encouraged to broaden your horizons and let go of outdated judgments. Truth should be sought in experience, not just theory.

Affirmation: I trust the journey and allow for higher understanding to enter my heart.

Pisces (Meena)

Emotional and financial intimacy come into the spotlight. This is a moment for letting go of both fears of vulnerability and acceptance of different forms of support. You may feel drawn to exploring psychological healing or even spiritual transformation. Surrender to those things that are rising and bubbling up inside you.

Affirmation: I welcome change in my life and trust the depth of my emotions.
