Great-Vishnu is Lord of Mercury, ruler of Gemini and exalted Virgo.
Maha-laya Amavasya / New moon of great harmony, is when Maatri moon and Pitri sun are conjunct, at the zenithal constellation of Virgo; when blue Earth transits it's orbital nadir at the funeral cot legs - Bhadra-pada -, or Pegasus.
The darkening fortnight that precedes this new moon day, is Pitri Paksha, the ancestors' fortnight.
- as held in tradition.
