This year, the Full Moon and Saturn (going backward) are in the same sign. This is a unique event that combines the Moon’s caring energy with Saturn’s profundity, patience, and discipline. On Sharad Poornima, worshippers make Kheer, a simple but holy mix of rice and milk, and put it outside. This lets the dish soak up the Moon’s healing rays, which are thought to carry Amrit, the nectar of divine life.
