In this episode of Third Eye Roll, we drop into the electric portal of the New Moon Eclipse in Dhanistha Nakshatra — landing on the sacred night of Maha Shiva Ratri, when stillness itself becomes transformation.

We unpack what eclipse season really does to your nervous system, your relationships, and your life trajectory (spoiler: it’s not subtle), while exploring the rare planetary pile-up activating collective awakening and personal breakthroughs.

Then we dive into one of Shiva’s most potent myths — the churning of the cosmic ocean — where poison, nectar, chaos, devotion, and divine restraint collide. Why does Shiva drink the poison? What does stillness have to do with alchemy? And how do eclipses force our own inner churning toward truth and clarity?

Expect astrology that actually makes sense, myth that hits the body, and spiritual wisdom with a Third Eye Roll twist.

This one’s about surrender, recalibration, and letting transformation move through you instead of fighting it.

Takeaways:
• What eclipse season activates in your life (and why things feel intense)
• How Dhanistha energy pushes collective and personal evolution
• Shiva’s poison-to-nectar myth as a roadmap for transformation and nervous system regulation

Chapters:

The New Moon rises in Mūla Nakshatra, the star of twisted roots, uprooting, and radical truth — and it arrives wrapped in the liminal threshold of Gandānta, the karmic knot where water turns to fire, endings demand honesty, and rebirth cannot be postponed.

In this episode of Third Eye Roll, Dr. Justine Lemos and Emily McConnell dive into the mythic, astrological, and nervous-system realities of this potent moment at the end of 2025. We explore Mūla’s fierce medicine of dissolution, the goddess Nirṛti (the remover, not the punisher), and why some things don’t need healing — they need ending.

We unpack:

• 🌑Mūla Nakshatra as the root-puller, truth-revealer, and cosmic exorcist
• Gandānta as an umbilical-cord crossing between karmic lifetimes
• Ketu’s role in disenchantment, detachment, and past-life clearing
• 🔢Numerology shift: 2025 as a Mars-ruled 9-year of endings → 2026 as a Sun-ruled 1-year of exposure and rebirth
• Honey as a Ketu remedy, sweetness as medicine for the scorpion’s sting
• Film, music, and symbol picks that carry Mūla’s strange, haunting beauty

This is not a “manifest your dreams” New Moon.
This is a finish the contract, compost the karma, and stop negotiating with what’s already dead moment.

If grief rises, you’re doing it right.
If clarity comes suddenly, trust it.
Mūla doesn’t ask what you want — it asks what is over.

Pull it out by the root.

In this wildly cosmic and deeply grounded episode of Third Eye Roll, Justine and Emily dive headfirst into the psychedelic storm of Rahu entering Shatabishaka—the star of 100 healers, 100 illusions, and the shadow scientist inside all of us. Cue spiritual hypochondria, Google-diagnosed awakenings, black-bug omens, and one extremely on-theme tick encounter.

With Saturn finally moving direct in Pisces and Mercury straightening itself out, the grown-ups have walked back into the room… and they’re asking whether your healing journey is medicine or madness (spoiler: sometimes both).

Expect couture lab coats, futuristic headpieces, Rahu-coded fashion, AI expansions, ascension-syndrome snark (“You’re not ascending, you're just ungrounded”), plus a detour into Woodstock 1969, the Unix epoch, MAS*H, and why the universe apparently wants us all to become low-key engineers of our own psyche.

Justine closes with the myth of Matsya and the Great Flood, revealing how Saturn in Pisces is the steady hand that pulls us through dissolution into renewal.

Stay to the end for Yatra gossip, Spain retreat teasers, and the most Rahu-coded sign-off ever.
