For some years now, the Q'ero descendants of the Inka of Peru have been sharing about their prophecies which speak the Pachakuti - a time of great change, a turning over and great transformation. It is because of this that the Q'ero have been sharing their knowledge and encourage us to come into Ayni (sacred reciprocity) with Pachamama and all beings, the Earth and all of creation.
Other traditions also speak of this intense time ~ 2026 is the year of the Yang Fire Horse in the Tibetan and Chinese traditions and a year of the Sun (Surya) in the Vedic. A fiery and transformational time. We are all aware of what is happening. Current astrological transits (in the sidereal Vedic system) have clusters of planets (grahas) in Aquarius (Kumbha) and Pisces (Meena) right now which are effecting the entire world. As the months go by we are watching as things unfold and the clusters change signs.
Winter Solstice despacho
The winter solstice is the shortest, darkest day of the year when our energies are turned inward and the outer light of the sun is lessened. Following the new moon, winter solstice was at 10:03 AM on December 21, 2025. Astrologically, in the Vedic system the Sun, Mars and Venus in Mula nakshatra aligning with the center of the milky way and Moon in Purva Ashadha nakshatra, both in sidereal Sagittarius. Mercury will also be entering Sagittarius soon, it's a big build of of energies.
autumn Equinox Despacho
Despacho blessings!!! Today we have a partial solar eclipse with the Sun and Moon in sidereal Virgo with Mercury in Uttarphalguni nakshatra and the south node Ketu in Leo in Purvaphalguni nakshatra with Venus in Magha. We are at the seasonal intersection where the light in the northerm hemisphere is dimming and calling us within.
Today is the last day of Pitru Paksha, a time for the ancestors in the Vedic traditions, and a good time to make offerings and prayers. Tomorrow is the fall equinox in the northern hemisphere and the start of the fall Navaratri, a time for the NavDurgas - forms of Devi that help us cleanse our inner channels and darkness in the Devi Mahatmyam. In the liminal space of this changing season we offer our prayers to the Divine Feminine and our Ancestors.
