Do you feel like you have even more to give, to offer, to share, to say in this world? Do you feel like you have a powerful purpose- but you're not sure yet what that looks like? Knowing your dharma, your life purpose, is the most important reason for being born according to the Vedic Tradition. Sadly, very few people in this world ever completely align with their dharmic path- the souls purpose. Dharma is a tricky thing. It requires your willingness to change and grow and heal. It requires your ability to move beyond blockages and resistance and the parts of yourself that you are avoiding. Dharma requires that you step into your power. Think about what power means to you. Do you have a positive relationship with power? Or a negative relationship? How might your life change if you had more power? Everyone who arrives at my door wants life path clarity. They want to know their dharma, their life purpose. Yet the steps that have to be taken in order to clarify your dharma, requires a willingness to step into your power. If you are afraid of power- especially your own power, it won't feel safe to step into your dharmic path! Your fear will show up and it will stop you from taking action. Your fear might show up in a number of ways. Here are the top forms of fear (or resistance) that I hear from people: - I don't have the money for support and resources. - I don't have the time to devote to this process. - I have too much going on in my life to commit right now. All of these fears are forms of resistance. Resistance to stepping into your power in bigger ways. Take a moment to notice where you might be saying "no" to stepping into more power, and a bigger purpose. Why might you feel more comfortable staying small, struggling, frustrated and unclear?! How much is this resistance to your power costing you? What is the cost? On the level of happiness, life force energy, vitality, wealth, nourishment and even spiritually? There is a cost to refusing your power. Lean closer to your relationship with power. Notice how your personal mythology around power might be impacting your choices and your action steps. Patriarchy and misogyny impacts all of us- whether we are conscious of it or not. The systemic dis-empowerment of the Feminine leaves scars on both men and women. The trauma of not trusting your inner wisdom and your emotional body will keep you stuck in disempowerment, fear and lack. This fear of power can impact your dharmic path on multiple levels. The main impact I see is the financial toll it takes on women. Women who don't have the financial resources to get the dharmic support they need. Here's how to tell if you are being impacted by power issues: - Dreams that have been put on hold for families, children or others. - Desires and dreams that never come to fruition because of giving to others. - Over-giving at the cost of your body, your own needs, feelings and passions. - Relying on a partner to make financial decisions or support you financially. - Feeling powerless to change your story and giving up on your path, purpose and desires. - Always making choices that are "right" instead of honoring your needs and feelings. - Feeling stuck in the "good girl" complex and afraid of disappointing others. - Sabotaging success, resisting action steps and change. - Avoiding empowered actions and choices. - Resisting support, resources and guidance. Financial challenges disproportionally impact a woman's ability to step into her dharma, her truth, her power and purpose. Financial challenges keep women stuck- unable to move forward, to get the support they need or even honor the passion and purpose that is her birth right. Most women will live their entire life suppressing, avoiding, negating their needs because it's too painful to be honest about the passions and desires living inside of them. What dreams and desires have you put on hold for others? How much have finances played a role in these decisions? Where are you saying no to your dreams and desires? Listen to my podcast below to clarify your money/power paradigm. Identify where you are stuck and how to change this old programing. Use this podcast if.... - You struggle to speak your truth and share your wisdom in this world. - You have challenges with money. - You don't feel supported or nourished in your relationships. - You lack self trust and a connection with your inner wisdom. - You play small when you know you have much more to offer!

How do you know if you are by-passing your Emotional Body and its vast wisdom? Here are some keys to look for. How many of these markers do you identify with? 1) I don't feel nourished- physically, mentally, emotionally, or physically. 2) I don't feel pleasure in my life- physically, mentally, emotionally or physically. 3) I'm experiencing health challenges- especially in my heart, gut, breasts. 4) I'm experiencing relationship challenges. 5) I experience big bursts of emotion- either anger, sadness, depression, grief, joy, etc. 6) What emotions? I don't have any. 7) I often feel numb. 8) I use food, drugs, alcohol, sugar, shopping, relationships, sex, TV/Computer/Phone/Screens to distract, numb, avoid, resist, negate my emotions. 9) There is a history of addiction in my family system. 10) There is a history of trauma and loss in my family system. 11) I often say to myself "No one sees me." or "No one hears me". 12) I often say to myself "I'm not enough" on some level of my life. 13) I often feel unsupported or that I am not fully honored.

Every week I offer two *free* dharma coaching sessions to action takers who are ready for deep life change. Is this you?! Send me a message to see if I have any openings: swatijrjyotish@gmail.com The May full Moon will bring a debilitated Moon with Anuradha nakshatra- stirring precision, focus and regeneration for the cycle to come. This is a mild, tender and soft constellation, which will deepen the introspection and inward focus of the full Moon energy. Expect a waning Moon cycle that takes you deeper than you thought possible. Have a life preserver ready if you aren't schooled in the ways of Scorpio and the 8th house! The full Moon also falls on Buddha Jayanti, the celebrated birthday of Lord Buddha. It's an excellent time to stay inward, in contemplation, meditation or spend time in nature. Full Moon is May 21st at 15:14 Mountain Time, with Virgo on the ascendant at the time of the fullest portion of the Moon. Three planets sit in Scorpio at this time- Moon and retrograde Mars and Saturn. Moon is in exact conjunction with Mars, which instigates charged emotions and a fiery inner landscape. Aggressive, warrior Mars, ripples the soft and gentle waters of the Moon, causing anger, frustrations, emotional outbursts and violence. The pressure from Saturn simultaneously increases the intensity, while inviting in grief, sadness and pain connected to loss. Repressed emotions will be surfacing, emerging from your depths- which is the nature and essence of Scorpio. Anger is often connected to repressed power, while frustration is the repeated cycle of repressed anger and lack of momentum, action steps and movement. Expect emotions that have been very hidden, to surface at this time as well as in the cycle to come. Uncomfortable, yet extremely vital to increase life force energy and the circulation of more space within your bodies. Find safe, healthy ways to release the emotional pressure. Sun and Venus will be combust (in the 10 degree range of each other) in Taurus during the full Moon, a theme that continues through the end of June. These planets war fiercely- as the Sun is fire (masculine), while Venus is water (feminine). These two elements oppose each other. The conflict between these polarities will effect relationships, money, creativity, nourishment, comfort, health and vitality especially. Expect discomfort in these areas of your life. Notice where masculine and feminine energies are misaligned. The energy of Sun and Venus in Taurus, gives direct gaze (drishti) to Scorpio, inviting in this mirror to the Moon, Mars and Saturn. Are the frustrations and challenges you're feeling connected to an imbalance in your masculine and feminine energies? Where are your giving and receiving dynamics in conflict? Notice where Sun and Venus are moving through Taurus in your jyotish chart to determine where this battle is taking place. The cycle to come is a potent healing cycle, if you choose to use it as such. It's a time to clarify, get precise, hone in on exactly what you need and want, without frivolity. For many it will be a very dharmic time, pruning away the parts of your life that don't honor or serve your path fully. Challenges will be reminders of what must be released in order to simplify your journey. Let go of distractions and parts of your life that keep you away from your inner wisdom. It will be essential to tame the mind and cut away old stories, patterns, beliefs, conditioning and mental body illusions that keep you in lack, stuck, less than and away from your empowerment. At the same time, there is ample creativity and imagination available for those who actively participate in their creative power and potential. Do you know how to use your inner challenges and conflicts as a transformational and healing resource? Can you take your challenge and use it as a tool for re-shaping, re-creating your life? If ever there was a time to make lemonade out of the lemons, start juicing! Undeniably, this is a time period of great challenge for many. Multiple polarities and inner battles are taking place due to such opposition within the planets. Jupiter and Rahu intensify the challenges between purity and darkness, human and spirit. This battle is intimately connected to your path of clarity, purpose and inner trust. Anuradha nakshatra invites a cycle of triumph, success and immense transformation- for those who walk through the gateway. Out of darkness comes light. From mud, grows the lotus. From pain, one can appreciate the joy. From the process of death, new life can emerge. Let yourself be swept up in the transformational tides. Find your grounding cord within. Let the body be your channel, the entry point for deeper inner listening and awareness. Use embodiment as your mantra. Gather a new support team around yourself- one that is truly available to help you weather all storms. Full Moon Creative Ritual Class. Sunday, May 22nd @ 11am Mountain Time. In This Class... I shared more about the impact of this Scorpio full Moon and the cycle to come- as well as the impact of the current challenging transits. We worked with transforming challenges, polarities, obstacles and inner conflicts. I helped those in the class recognize what the challenge is actually telling them. What the need is. In order for movement, change, harmony and healing to take place. May Full Moon Creative Ritual1) Identify a challenge or conflict you are working with currently. Create an image of this challenge you feel emerging emotionally- as well as any other feelings or emotions that come up with this. What images emerge as you explore this feeling? What colors, textures and shapes arrive? Create an image that expresses your experience with this feeling. Spend at least 20 minutes creating this image. I suggest using paints or craypas and a large piece of paper. Title your image. In your journal or on the back of the drawing answer this question: If your image could speak what would it say? 2) Movement Exploration. Using your image as the inspiration for your dance, begin to move your body in response to your image. Move as though your body is having a conversation with your image. Let the colors, shapes, textures etc. invoke a response and let your body express this through movement and sound. Continue to develop your dance for 5 to 10 + minutes. Then respond to these questions aloud: I sense, I feel, I imagine. 3) Harvesting. Answer these baseline statements in your journal once you have completed the previous steps. Baseline Statements: I am___ I want___ I need___ I feel___ I sense___ I imagine___ What am I moving towards? What am I moving away from? * All timing is in Mountain Daylight Time- one hour ahead of Pacific Time, one hour behind Central Time and two hours behind Eastern Time.

Get the Details. Vasant Navaratri, or spring Navaratri, begins with the new Moon this year, on Thursday April 7th at 04:24 am PDT. Sun and Moon are in Pisces and Revati nakshatra, the final star of the zodiac, signifying endings and beginnings. This is the mark of the Vedic Lunar New Year and the beginning of the sacred nine day celebration of Navaratri as well. Durga is enlivened at this time! The battle between good over evil intensifies in the coming days as Durga battles the demon Mahishasura. This battle takes place within every human being. The conflict between light and dark forces, polarities, is expressed through this sacred and timeless battle. It also mirrors the conflicts stirred between the masculine and feminine energies within. This battle is a wake up call, a clearing of old, stagnant beliefs, patterns and behaviors. Pay close attention during this sacred nine day celebration as inner and outer conflicts intensify. What does this conflict share with you about your polarities? What mirrors are being held up in order for you to make lasting change and transformation? Nava means nine in Sanskrit while Ratri means nights. This is a nine day celebration that is divided into three parts. The first three days are dedicated to the goddess Durga. Her warrior spirit cleanses, shifts, uproots, changes and transforms. Think of her as tilling the soil, prior to planting seeds. The next three days of celebration are dedicated to Lakshmi. Her abundance, nurturing, and wealth offer nourishment and support to us on all levels of life. Health is the ultimate wealth and Lakshmi brings this support as well. Finally, we have three days dedicated to goddess Saraswati. She gives us knowledge, understanding, wisdom, creativity and artistry. She is the rasayana (or healing balm) if you will to close this sacred nine day celebration. Together, these three goddesses bring wholeness, renewal, and the life giving offerings of Shakti. This creative life-force energy is truly what inspires life, living and abundance. She is your Creative Intelligence. At this time we can connect to these three goddesses most easily- inside of us, and around us. Because of this, Navaratri is considered a very sacred and powerful time of year- one that influences our inner and outer experience of life for months to come. To connect with the goddesses more closely, make special offerings on your altar to them during the nine days. You can also dedicate your actions and intentions to them for greater communication. Use this time for self development practices and sacred pause. Slow down and notice what is stirring within you and around you. I'll be sharing more resources and support in the coming days to help you use this potent time effectively. Be sure to follow along in my newsletter for more. Read More About Navaratri New Moon in Revati shares the support of Pushan with those who accept and receive his soft and gentle guidance. Pushan translates as "the nourisher" and through his resources, will help you flourish, prosper and grow. He requests gentle, subtle and thoughtful steps and honors inner sensitivity. As both Sun and Moon transit Revati, a sense of endings- for both masculine and feminine energy- is stirred. The soli/lunar energies within are seeking closure and completion. As doors close, trust the opening of new doors to follow. What are you saying yes to? What are you saying no to? Be conscious of your actions and choices. These karmas determine the fruits you will receive in the new cycle. If you've been following along with me in the past days and weeks, I've been sharing resources to support the alignment and integration of inner polarities. Through deepening the wisdom of the Divine Feminine, you can heal and transform the inner battles between opposing energies and find more harmony within. Use my tapping meditation for deepening your relationship with the Divine Feminine. If you're ready to step into your Divine Feminine wisdom more potently while healing and integrating inner challenges, please join me for my new course just for women. This new Jyotish Astrology course for Transformation and Healing is starting soon. Get the Details and Sign Up. Not only does the April new Moon coincides with the start of Navaratri, but the Vedic Lunar New Year as well. As Sun and Moon move through the final nakshatra of the zodiac, this sparks release and letting go, while ushering in openings and beginnings simultaneously. This will effect emotional body release, allowing creativity and fluidity to increase in life supporting ways if the channels can be cleared effectively. Use this sacred time to diligently clear, purge and release through the mental and emotional bodies. Patterns, behaviors and choices that no longer serve you must be let go of in order to create space for the new. The cycle ahead promotes integration of opposing forces, inner conflicts and polarities. Duality is the absence of harmony, integration and union. Where are these polarities effecting your strength, courage and power? Notice how the inner conflicts are are keeping you stuck, frozen, overwhelmed and using your vital life force energy in ways that keep you in struggle, lack and fear. Identify these inner battles and use resources and support to help you integrate and align your opposing forces. Understand that these inner conflicts will manifest externally as a way to intensify the mirror within. Any challenges with relationships, or the "other", are just a reminder to look more deeply within. Where are these outer difficulties a resource to identify your inner struggles? Polarities, including masculine and feminine dynamics, will be at strong odds in the cycle ahead. It's vital to address these places within head on. Use my New Moon Navaratri class below for extra support and guidance with this process. Step into your warrior spirit, your wild divine feminine wisdom, and allow her power to move through you. She is the receptive and can help you hear what you need to do- or not do- in order to find inner harmony. Where are these inner conflicts keeping you from receiving more nourishment, support, guidance and wisdom? Give your self space to pause and listen. To receive the abundance that surrounds you. Move too quickly, force or rush to achieve and gain or experience an outcome, and this will disconnect you from your potency and inner knowing, from Her divine wisdom and support. Go slow and allow the sacred to move through you and transform you. As you attend to and unravel your inner feminine intelligence in the coming days, you are preparing for harmonizing and aligning with your masculine energies in a more balanced way. Attend to Her needs and Her wisdom first, then the structuring support of the masculine can attend to Her in a more integrated and harmonious way. The Vedic New Year officially begins on the 13th of April, as the Navaratri celebration comes to a close. Sun moving to the first sign of the zodiac, its sign of exaltation, Aries, marks the beginning of the solar renewal within. Immense power and potency is available at this time. Take the necessary steps for maximizing this strength. What does She need from you? How can you listen to Her needs and her wisdom more carefully? If you are ready to step more powerfully into your sacred feminine wisdom, to heal conflicts between your masculine and feminine energies, as well as polarities within, please join me for my Spring/Summer 2016 Jyotish Astrology Classes ~ for Transformation and Healing. This process is open to only 25 women who are ready to step into a deeper level of Self Mastery.

Extra Tapping Meditation Resources: Tapping Meditation for Integration of Polarities Tapping Meditation to Heal the Inner Goddess I just finished sharing my *free* Full Moon Eclipse Portal class. Truthfully, this is the first day I've gotten out of bed and my pajamas, in days. There's been a lot of grief moving through me and this is one of the ways I honor it. Over the past few days, parts of my shadow emerged for me to lean into and listen more closely. I've been tapping it through, moving with it, creating with it- allowing my emotional body to release and clear old, stagnant energy. Today, feels lighter and a rich clarity has arrived. A new passion and sense of commitment to life has emerged. This is the purpose of attending to your grief vigilantly. Grief and life are one and the same- dark and light. As I've written about extensively in my Eclipse Portal offerings, the previous new Moon in Aquarius + Solar Eclipse, is responsible for stirring the polarities within very acutely. If you haven't been feeling this inner conflict, noticing your challenges, leaning into your emotions, you probably aren't paying attention. Your critic may be really loud right now. Have you noticed? Clients, friends, students (and my own critic) have shared their resistance to moving towards their shadow. Do you fear that if you lean into your darkness, it may swallow you up? You may not find the other side? The truth is, resisting your pain can have disastrous effects on your healing process. It is impossible to release and change when you are resisting. Judgment can keep you blocked and in the dark. If you get nothing else out of this eclipse portal, lean in. Listen. Get silent. Ask your critic what it needs. Let its messages help you soften. Notice the voices within that keep you from moving closer to your pain. When you resist your inner pain, it amplifies. Healing comes when we can move closer to compassion for our own darkness. My Full Moon Eclipse Class will support you with this process of leaning in, listening, and moving through the grief that is present within you. This is a time of radical release. Please use it with intention. We won't get another time like this until September!
