Full Moon and New Moon – when something is completed and new beginning is awaiting. When our consciousness experiences profound change. When we are more in touch with our true Self.
Goddess Citra represents the final stage of the journey of the Goddess: reaching the fullness or return to nothingness; complete light or complete darkness; unison or perfect octave – which are, in their essence, identical. The bright light of the Full Moon symbolises the highest octave of any colour; while the darkness of the New Moon symbolises all colours merged back together into the primordial darkness. The brightest shade of any colour is white. The darkest shade of any colour is black. Similarly, on Full Moon and New Moon day everything unites and dissolves, so something new may be born.
Goddess Citra teaches us, that all the colours of life, all the rays of light, and all the shadows of darkness, in their very essence, are the manifestation of the same omnipresent Divine force, which gives birth to everything, sustains everything and, ultimately, absorbs everything within Itself. In the fullness of Citra Devi or in Her complete darkness, there is a space for everything and everybody; for every feeling, every experience, every mood and every energy. As Goddess Tripurasundari during the Full Moon, She embraces everything with Love and spreads Her light and blessings to all, equally. As Mother Kali during the New Moon, She absorbs everything, cleanses all the impurities and reveals the depth of Her compassion, which embraces and absorbs everything within its darkness.
Divine and shadow qualities
Fifteenth lunar day
Full Moon and New Moon days always trigger some deep purification processes within us. Depending on the place in the zodiac they occur, their nakshatras and conjunctions, sometimes this process of bringing all processes to completion might be smooth and fulfilling, but often it turns out to be very intense and deep, which can make us easily irritated or impulsivene. Full Moon and New Moon days are perfect timings for spiritual practice and deep introspection, but due to their intense energy they are not necessarily supportive for making important life decision or starting anything.
Divine qualities

Shadow qualities
- indecisiveness
- irritability

Purnima / Amavasya Tithi In-depth
Discover the secrets of Purnima & Amavasya tithis in this almost 4 hours long session with several study cases and detailed knowledge of the symbolism and secrets of this lunar day and its deities. Along with the access to course recording you will also receive a chapter from my ebook “Journey with the Moon”, dedicated to Citra, Lunar Goddess of Purnima & Amavasya tithis, along several charts for self-study.
1. Uncover unknown secrets of Purnima & Amavasya tithi
I have dedicated a big part of my life to research of the Vedic lunar phases and I can honestly say that you will most likely not find such detailed knowledge on this topic anywhere else. On this course you will learn not only about the superficial symbolism of Purnima & Amavasya tithis and its presiding Goddess, Citra, but also some of its deep secrets.
2. Understand the spiritual aspect
Spiritual approach to tithis or Vedic lunar phases is what makes my tithi classes unique and very different from others. I have spent a lot of time connecting with the Goddesses of the lunar phases, meditating with them and trying to learn from their wisdom. I have learnt that they teach us a lot about the evolution of our own consciousness. People who resonate with my classes are frequently already on spiritual path or are yoga or meditation practitioners.
3. Learn how to apply your knowledge
I believe that knowledge gains its real value only once we learn how to apply it. It is not enough just to understand, how the tithi functions in theory. You want to be able also to use this knowledge in your everyday life, as well as in your chart readings, too, don’t you? Each session of our classes completes with a detailed analysis of chosen study cases, as well as analyses the influence of each lunar day in our everyday life, activities that it supports and remedies that help us to heal it.
Fragment from "Journey with the Moon" ebook
On Full Moon and on New Moon day the Goddess becomes complete – hence the kala of the Moon connected to Her is purna or completion. Yogini connected to Her is Amrita-karshini, “the one, attracting all nectar” or satisfaction, as all the “drops of nectar” or kalas of the Moon unite together to spread their light during the Full Moon – similarly like all of them are collected back to their source during the New Moon. Syllable of Sri Vidya mantra connected to Her is hrim, the bij mantra of transformation – similarly like for Panchami tithi. And similarly like in case of Panchami and Dashami, previous Purna tithis governed by air element, so in case of Purnima or Amavasya there might be also some quality of indecisiveness very prominent in the personality of the person born on any of these lunar days – especially Full Moon. The shadow side of the kala of fullness is lack of motivation to go out of this fullness, this symbolic comfort zone, and realise something in the world. This is why neither Full Moon nor New Moon support us in any material activities – they are supportive only for spiritual practices.
