This Week's Intention: Move closer to your inner landscape. Notice your need for silence and slow steps. Honor this with meditation, sacred pause and strengthening your relationship with Self. Watch, listen, notice. Some weeks intensify what we need to confront more intensely. With Shivaratri, Venus's transit into Aquarius, a new Moon and a Solar Eclipse opening the delicate eclipse portal for the coming weeks, this is a time to clarify your needs, intentions and self care resources in order for greater inner stability. The days to come may provoke inner and outer challenges more acutely. Are you listening to or resisting the messages? Shivaratri will inspire a deep inner silence which can support your awakening process. Feed your silence with sacred pauses and meditation. Remember that any discomfort is a resource. What needs to change- within you and your choices- in order for greater ease? Some doors need to close. Others need to open. Monday, March 7th Moon in 14th tithi Just as Monday morning begins, Moon leaps to Aquarius, joining Mercury, Sun and Ketu here. To intensify the instability of the day, Venus moves to Aquarius mid morning, joining this powerful grouping of planets. Retrograde Jupiter, Rahu and Mars all give their gaze. The week begins with a lot of energy and excitement, as well as vulnerability and sensitivity. Stay grounded and get embodied. The closer you can stay to your body wisdom, the more clarity you'll have. As Moon continues through Dhanishta nakshatra until close to noon, resource from your inner light. Once Moon shifts to Satabisha, an emotional body shift takes place. Challenge and struggle may appear, casting darkness on the day. What do you need for greater inner support and stability? Align with your resources and redirect your focus towards what nourishes you. It's important to mind your health diligently when Moon passes through Satabisha. Eat nourishing foods, be mindful of the environments and relationships you choose to be with today. If it doesn't serve you, set it free. Venus moves to Aquarius at 07:18 am PST where she joins a packed house with Moon, Mercury, Sun and Ketu. This cycle is an opportunity for liberation on all four levels of your being- physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. Mars, retrograde Jupiter and Rahu give their gaze, intensifying the change process. Expect frustrations and challenges to emerge in the coming weeks- especially since the eclipse portal will be fully activated simultaneously. Relationships, money, creativity and feminine issues will be charged, ripe for transformation. How can you embrace your divine feminine qualities more actively? Where can you invite in more listening, juicy creativity, receptivity, sacred pauses and the wisdom of your feelings and emotions? It's vital that you let your feminine voice speak and share with you. She will tell you what needs to be released and how to liberate yourself more consciously. The release is inviting in space for the new. For more nourishment, more creativity, more abundance, more wisdom, more vitality. Your ability to allow the release will determine what you will have space to invite in to your life and being. There are endings being enlivened. Trust this process of endings. This is your liberation happening. Can you surrender to this process more fully? Resisting, holding back, avoiding this process will only increase the pain, challenge, hurt and suffering you experience. Find ways to surrender, allow and let go. What are you releasing and closing to? What are you inviting in and opening to? Actively look at your polarities, your shadow and light, masculine and feminine parts, in order to find balance and integration. The themes that begin with Mercury moving to Aquarius the week prior, spark the trends for Venus’s movement as well. She will help instigate and increase the fruits of your creative visions- if you’re willing to release, let go and create space for the new. A strong sense of liberation arrives with this cycle. It will be a process of shedding, releasing, letting go of attachments and unnecessary burdens- on the mental, emotional, physical and spiritual body levels. Unshackle yourself and consciously use resources to support this radical process of moksha. What is weighing you down? Holding you back? Keeping you from your magnificence? If you don’t have space for the new, you won’t be able to create more of what you want. Consciously use this cycle to carve out sacred, intentional space in your inner and outer being. As the Moon enters the 15th tithi of the waning cycle, Amavasya, around 21:00, Shivaratri officially begins. Shivaratri supports the deep release process enlivened right now. This ancient celebration of Lord Shiva, is traditionally a day of deep silence. It is from this level of being, of consciousness, that all possibilities are available; the Absolute, the fully alive and awakened state of universal oneness and creative intelligence. Read more about Shivaratri in my March New Moon Wisdom. Tuesday, March 8th Moon in 15th tithi Moon continues through Satabisha nakshatra until late morning. The shift to Purvabhadrapada nakshatra may feel tangible. This is the difference between a Rahu ruled nakshatra and a Jupiter ruled nakshatra- though both planets are currently conjunct in Leo. You may move from shadow into hope and possibility, challenge into resource. What are you noticing? Track your emotional body wisdom. The new Moon arrives March 8th at 17:55 PST, while Moon is in Aquarius and Purvabhadrapada nakshatra. The solar eclipse begins at 15:19 PST, continuing until 20:34 PST. The strongest time of the eclipse will occur at 17:59 PST. The eclipse will be visible in South/East Asia, North/West Australia, Pacific and Indian Ocean. Though this eclipse will not touch North America directly, the same rules apply to all during the eclipse. It's not advised to look at the eclipse directly, or to be outside during the eclipse. Stay indoors, meditate, eat lightly or fast, set intentions and say prayers. Use this time as the sacred, inward time that it is. Being outside during the eclipse leaves you vulnerable to absorbing extra "shadow" which is not ideal. Since eclipses represent and intensify the inner shadow, taking precautionary measures to avoid gathering more shadow, is important. During the eclipse portal (the two week period between solar and lunar eclipses) it is not recommended to start new projects, make big decisions or begin anything important. Wait until after the 23rd for this. New Moon in Purvabhadrapada, instigates the power of ruling deity Ajaikapada- an expression of lord Shiva in the form of Lord of the Dance. His ability to balance the impossible, challenge and resource, life and death, material and spiritual realms, gives him his power and strength. Read more about the new Moon in Aquarius. Wednesday, March 9th Moon in 1st tithi The delicate new Moon increases vulnerability and inward awareness; softly beginning its waxing phase. Moon arrives in Pisces in the wee hours of the morning, triggering feelings of endings, release and closure. As the last sign in the zodiac, Pisces supports the liberation process. What are you letting go? What doors are you consciously closing? Once Moon shifts to the latter half of the Bhadrapada constellation, Uttarabhadra, a different experience of strength arrives, as well as an intensified experience of release. The symbol of this star is the back legs of a funeral cot- essentially the final moments before liberation and freedom, death and transformation. Ruling deity Ahirbudhnya is a naga- a serpent that supports the awakening process and depth awareness. He is also a Rudra, giving him immense strength and power- which he uses to remove obstacles and challenges. Cut yourself free of the shackles holding you back. Release yourself. Thursday, March 10th Moon in 2nd tithi Mid morning, Moon moves into the 27th nakshatra, Revati, invoking the nourishing support of Pushan. This is a Mrdu, or soft and mild nakshatra, one that provides resources and support for one's journey. The mental body may be feeling pressure and overwhelm. Use this awarenes to find your release valve. Where can you let go, clear your plate and set some old stories free? Sun and Ketu are in exact conjunction today and into tomorrow. Your physical and spiritual bodies are being cracked open, so more light can enter your being. Discomfort may be present, but use this to transform and change. Gather the resources and support you need for soft holding and deeper inner wisdom. Friday, March 11th Moon in 3rd tithi Just as Friday begins, Moon jumps the gandanta (gap) between endings (Pisces) into beginnings (Aries). Notice if today feels like a fresh start on some level. Do you feel ready for change, but not sure how or what this looks like for you? Sun continues to feel the effects of Ketu's restructuring power. It's time for transformation, but what does that actually mean? Consciously decide what needs to change in order to invite in the new. It's vital you look at parts of yourself that want to stay in the dark. These are the parts of you that prefer self-sabotage, avoidance, resistance and chaos. Take back your power. Set yourself free. As Moon moves through the first nakshatra, Ashwini, themes of change, release and transformation are provoked. The gaze of Rahu and retrograde Jupiter onto the Moon will stir expansion as well as confusion. What is compelling your change? What is working? What is not? Minutes before midnight, Moon shifts to the fierce star, Bharani. Saturday, March 12th Moon in 4th tithi Yama brings his transformational restraint as Moon moves through Bharani nakshatra. The death process is invoked, inciting change. Yama judges ones karma at the time of death and insists on self-control, restraint and restriction- or punishment will be had. He wants you to stay true to your course- which means living your dharma and honoring this path. Punishment is severe to those who miss this crucial life lesson. How closely aligned are you with your dharmic purpose? Is laziness, ignorance, fear or confusion standing in your way? There's no time to waste. Bharani nakshatra supports brutal and harsh actions, in order to make big changes. Step boldly towards your awakening. Late evening, purification arrives through Krittika nakshatra and the fire wisdom of Agni. Digest and assimilate. Sunday, March 13th Moon in 5th tithi In the early hours of the morning, Moon leaps to its exaltation sign, Taurus, still in the domain of Agni. An emotional body potency arrives, with sharp exactness. Saturn and Mars give their direct gaze, charging and frustrating the experience. You feel the momentum, yet resistance simultaneously. Keep moving, but honor your slow, steady steps. Agni brings great purification and transformation with its fire wisdom. He supports digestion on all levels of life. Digestion is essential for the assimilation of nutrients. Diminishing your agni will hinder your ability to process external stimuli. This can overburden the bodies and their wisdom- mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually. Supporting agni within, will insure that experiences in life are digested properly, without leaving residue. Honor your inner fire by tending to the flame with attentiveness. What actions and choices diminish your inner fire? What actions and choices support it? Late evening, Moon shifts into lord Brahma's domain, Rohini, activating creativity and bringing desires into form. What are you creating? Monday, March 14th Moon in 6th tithi The week begins with ample creative potential. With the eclipse portal still active, desires may be extra strong. Pay close attention to your wants, vs. your needs. It's important that you know the difference. Rohini activates immense creative potential. The masculine and feminine forces- Lord Brahma and goddess Saraswati- enliven this process. Lord Brahma contains and structures the ample creative wisdom of his feminine counterpart, allowing her creative abundance to come into form. What are you creating for your life? What action steps are moving you closer to this? Do you know how to manifest or are you feeling around in the dark, hoping for the light switch? It's time to upgrade your skills, ask for support and find new resources- in order for different results. Maximize your creative potential. Monday night, Moon shifts to Mrigashirsha nakshatra, increasing extension, branching out and extending your range. What pathways are you opening up? What resources and support are helping you with this extension? Join me for a *free* Creative Ritual class on Sunday, March 20th in honor of the full Moon, eclipse portal and Holi celebrations.

The new Moon is powerfully silent, coinciding with Shivaratri and a total solar eclipse. As the Moon empties entirely, the connection to your inner landscape deepens. This is an opportunity to plant seeds of desire very intentionally. During the eclipse portal (March 8th to 23rd) your soil will be tilled, old roots will be dug up, rocks and debris will be removed. It's a time of clearing and cleaning- of preparation. Shivaratri begins on the 7th late in the evening, which is a time period that supports planting seeds of potential through the depth of silence. Shiva as destroyer, is at one with this awakened state of creativity. His role is to support your collapse into concentrated, focused alignment with the harmony of existence- that which is pure consciousness, deep, unaltered silence and awakening. This is where your creativity resides, your ability to manifest, create and transform- over and over again. Through the transcendence, you can easily touch this silence in its pure form. Shiva reminds us to use this silence to release, simplify and transform. From a silent and awakened state, you can plant the seeds of life more intentionally and powerfully. Use your deep inner silence for stirring your creative desires. As the full Moon and the lunar eclipse arrive on March 23rd, the fertility festival, Holi, will activate your silent seeds, helping them become more fully awakened with the creative wisdom of Nature. What are you creating for your powerful life? What is your vision? Let your imagination move you into being. The new Moon arrives March 8th at 17:55 PST, while Moon is in Aquarius and Purvabhadrapada nakshatra. The solar eclipse begins at 15:19 PST, continuing until 20:34 PST. The strongest time of the eclipse will occur at 17:59 PST. The eclipse will be visible in South/East Asia, North/West Australia, Pacific and Indian Ocean. Though this eclipse will not touch North America directly, the same rules apply to all during the eclipse. It's not advised to look at the eclipse directly, or to be outside during the eclipse. Stay indoors, meditate, eat lightly or fast, set intentions and say prayers. Use this time as the sacred, inward time that it is. Being outside during the eclipse leaves you vulnerable to absorbing extra "shadow" which is not ideal. Since eclipses represent and intensify the inner shadow, taking precautionary measures to avoid gathering more shadow, is important. During the eclipse portal (the two week period between solar and lunar eclipses) it is not recommended to start new projects, make big decisions or begin anything important. Wait until after the 23rd for this. New Moon in Purvabhadrapada, instigates the power of ruling deity Ajaikapada- an expression of lord Shiva in the form of Lord of the Dance. His ability to balance the impossible, challenge and resource, life and death, material and spiritual realms, gives him his power and strength. As Moon transits through Aquarius, polarities are activated and encountered. Just as ruling planets Saturn and Rahu give Aquarius its dual nature, Ajaikapada expresses the two-sided nature of existence. As a Rudra, he has immense strength, overcoming obstacles and rising to the task at hand. The symbol of Purvabhadrapada is a two-faced man, reiterating the dual nature of this constellation and the essential need for balance, harmony and integration of seemingly opposing forces. The reminder with Aquarius is that one door must close in order for another to open. Essentially, there must be a loss, in order to have a gain. What are you ready to release and let go of, in order for the new to arrive? Notice where you are resisting the release. You'll know because there will be challenge, pain or struggle. Lean in and notice what is arriving. This waxing cycle is ripe with release on all four levels of your being- mental, emotional, physical and spiritual. The combination of five planets in Aquarius at the time of the new Moon, all receiving gaze from Mars, retrograde Jupiter and Rahu, provoke a certain intensity within the inner realms. Moon, Sun, Mercury and Venus will be conjunct Ketu, the moksha planet. Ketu instigates disconnection through cutting, burning or severing. This is why Ganesha is associated with Ketu, as his head was chopped off by his father, Shiva, and replaced with a wise elephant head instead. As a result his wisdom increased. Ketu propels one into the change and transformation process, often forcing the disconnection or release from attachments. As Moon (emotional body), Mercury (mental body), Sun (spiritual and physical bodies) and Venus (shakti or life force energy) all come into contact with Ketu during their Aquarius transit, release and transformation will occur in your entire being. Do you allow this change process to take place by leaning into what's arriving? Or are you resisting the change process on some level? Remember, the pain and challenge is a reminder that you are gripping on some level. Can you locate where this challenge is arriving within? Are you being effected mentally, emotionally, physically, spiritually- or all of the above? This is your reminder to seek resources, support and guidance for your transformation process. Where do you need help with this change? What resources and extra support are missing for you? Call in what you need and ask spirit to support your journey. Relationships and matters of the heart are instrumental for your change and transformation process in the coming weeks- especially during the eclipse portal. Some relationships will need be released, others will need to be transformed. Shadows and excess baggage from the past (including mental body stories, energies and old wounds) must also be released and transformed. These relationships may just be stories you continue to carry, cling to or hold on to, yet they are effecting you the same. The heart will be instrumental in this release and transformation process. There may be pain, heart burn or new passions stirring in the heart chambers so pay close attention to the messages arriving through your emotional body. Part of you is saying yes, while the rest of you is saying no. Get clear on what you need for greater nourishment and support. What does this inner nourishment feel like in your body? Who and what helps you identify this feeling within yourself? Who and what does not support this feeling within? There will be a tango in your head and heart between wants and needs. These are different, so pay close attention to their messages. Do you notice your wants overshadowing your needs? Are you only feeding the loud wants, rather than listening and softening to the needs arriving within you? Your emotional body will be the messenger of your needs. Create time and space for sacred pause, listening and honoring the wisdom of the divine feminine within. Shakti, the consort of Shiva, is the great creative spark of life. Together Shiva and Shakti empower, uplift, transform and create- over and over again. Life is given through their union. What are you creating with your silence and dynamism? How can you find more balance between these seemingly opposing forces within? Honor your masculine and feminine energies in more intimate ways. Notice where you are feeding one energy more than the other and make adjustments. As the eclipse portal deepens, inner shadows will be enlivened. Cravings, desires and wants will increase and activate. Can you take on this beast or does it swallow you whole? Simultaneously challenges and obstacles will intensify forcing you to look more closely at wounds and personal mythology that is keeping you in the dark. How do you work with these shadows with conscious awareness? What guidance, support and resources do you need for greater transformation? I'll be sharing more details about the eclipse effects on each rising sign within my Waxing Moon Horoscopes. Creative Ritual My Creative Rituals are intended to support your transformation and healing process in the cycle to come. Each ritual is in alignment with the cosmic tides- in order to help you adjust, shift and move more fluidly in balance with Nature's rhythms. Recycle this ritual more than once for added benefits. Deepen your relationship with nourishment and the wisdom of your feelings with this Creative Ritual. Use the immense silence available at this time to connect more intimately with your needs and your inner wisdom. * Create a list of self care activities that nourish and support your physical, mental, emotional and spiritual bodies. * Use the four level check in regularly as well as EFT for identifying and moving emotions. 1) Using craypas, paints or pencils, create an image of your nourishment. What does nourishment feel like for you? Create an image that expresses this feeling using colors, textures and shapes. Allow 20 minutes at minimum for this nourishment image. Title your image. 2) Use your image to inspire a movement exploration. Let your body move in response to your nourishment image with an intention of "moving with your feelings of nourishment". What sensations emerge for you during your dance? What awareness? Allow 5 to 10 minutes for this movement exploration. I encourage you to extend this time frame as you recycle this process. 3) Harvesting. In your journal answer these questions: I am, I want, I need, I sense, I feel, I imagine. What deeply nourishes me? What no longer nourishes me? Where do I feel support in my life? Where do I need more support? What am I opening to? What am I closing to?
