The June new Moon is at 21:00 MDT on Saturday the 4th, while the Moon is in Taurus, it's exaltation sign. Moon will be in strong degrees, in Rohini nakshatra which may give rise to both the need for silence and dynamism. Confusion between inner and outer may be present in the cycle to come. Finding balance between external needs and internal needs will be important for the first half of the month.

At the time of the new Moon, Sun, Moon and Venus are all in exact degrees, placed in the highly creative Moon-ruled nakshatra, Rohini. All three planets receive direct gaze from retrograde Saturn and Mars, adding pressure and heat to the mix. There is a deep purification process happening with relationships, money, comfort and support in this waxing cycle. Clarify what you are creating, burn away what doesn't serve or honor your needs, turn the discomfort into resource for inner and outer change.

Rohini nakshatra is highly creative star, which sparks potent manifestation capabilities. It can offer resources- if you know how to use your inner Creative Intelligence properly. Lord Brahma and his feminine counterpart Saraswati, rule this domain, creating and supporting manifestation, bringing desires into form. Deep feelings and intense emotions are also possible as a result of the Moon ruling this constellation. After all, feelings and emotions are potent manifestation resources. How do you use your Creative Intelligence? Attend diligently to your inner waters in the cycle ahead. It will be easy to misdirect your energy with the excessive emotional energy. Don't burn out your life force energy with too much externalized effort.

Taurus correlates to the 2nd house of the jyotish chart, the Bhava of speech, voice and mouth. It's also the house of self expression, nourishment and receiving as mouth is the portal for being fed life. Money, wealth, resources, comfort and support are also connected to the second house. As an earth sign, Taurus desires to bring creative energy into form. Understanding the process of manifestation is soul purpose of the Taurus energy. Look to your own chart to see where Taurus is located. This is where the Moon is transiting at the time of the new Moon. It's also a place that can support your creative manifestation process. What are the resources? What are the challenges?

If you want to learn more about your 2nd house karmas and how to overcome blockages hindering you from being well fed by life, please join me for my June Jyotish Astrology Classes.
Get the Details.

In the cycle to come, cleaning up relationship challenges will be important as well as looking at all the places within you that are stuck, resistant and avoiding deep nourishment. The challenging mirrors coming to you are parts of yourself that need to be honored more fully, loved and accepted. Where are you blocking being in deeper relationship with yourself? Your relationship with your inner power is connected to financial concerns. Where are you not clearly seeing your potential? What steps must be taken in order to awaken from your slumber? You need more support and stability. Ask for it. Allow your self to receive. Where are you still malnourished and refusing guidance, support and the deep presence you long for? What resources do you need in order to move beyond these old stories of lack? Your heart wisdom will show you the way, but you must be willing to lean into your most painful parts within. Extra support is imperative in the cycle to come. Start reaching out.

How to Use Jyotish Wisdom to Heal Your Body

Most people think of Jyotish Astrology as a means of charting the planets, the stars, the movements of the heavens. For those of us who subscribe to this very ancient body of Vedic knowledge though, we understand that there is a correlation between the cosmos and our own inner nature, our experience of life. There is a connection between the macrocosm and the microcosm, the two are not separate, but dance, mingle and co-create. This divine interplay is what makes studying Jyotish so valuable.

I use Jyotish as a means of explaining and exploring the inner being, the inner realms of our own felt experience. In fact all of my transit reports are a reflection of my own experience with the cosmos, my own expression of their movement. This is why the consciousness of the Jyotishi is of the utmost importance; traditionally, the life of the astrologer has been one of constant purification and refinement, so as to "see" more and more clearly. Jyotish after all is the science of light, the science of vision, sight.

If we can use the wisdom of Jyotish to see within ourselves, our consciousness, we can use this awareness for healing insights as well. Truthfully, Jyotish is so vast and all-encompassing, it includes all expressions of our humanity- our physical, emotional, mental and spiritual bodies, or the four bodies. I share more about this unique correlation in my article on sensitivity. 

Quite literally the Jyotish chart (I strictly use a North Indian style chart) shares in detail the connection to our various bodies- through the planets, houses and even the nakshatras. We could even say that each one of these pieces of jyotish wisdom connects to one of the four bodies, so that ultimately when we are looking at our jyotish chart we are looking at a web of energies, a web of our own cosmic energies.

The multiple layers of the chart are so interwoven, it is this complexity that we study in Jyotish in order to see the many relationships between energies and how they express themselves uniquely through us. This is a nuanced and intuitive awareness that comes with much studying, clarity and inner vision. I believe in fact that this gift is possible for each one of us to embrace; it is after all connected to our intuition, our felt senses, our inner knowing. This is a refinement process we can learn and create.

One of my greatest passions is helping others awaken to their own cosmic nature- studying one's jyotish chart gives us that ability. I encourage all of my clients to study their own charts, in fact, I believe that is really the whole point of Jyotish! To know ourselves, truly, inside and out. To awaken to our own cosmic nature! 

This is why I'm offering my ongoing classes, Jyotish Basics for Transformation and Healing. So that you can begin to awaken to the wisdom of your own existence, your path, the effects of the transits, and how to track these changes within you. Get all the details about my Jyotish Basics classes here.

Because I bridge my Jyotish knowledge with the wisdom of the body, as well as the creative arts, I use the Jyotish chart a resource specifically to study the physical body and its myriad of expressions. My embodiment work is deeply intertwined with body part metaphors and the implications this has on our life experience. Therefor the connection one's chart has with specific body parts is of the utmost fascination and importance for me. 

We can look at the body part connections within the chart from multiple lenses- whether it be through the houses, the planets or the nakshatras. To keep it simple, I'll share in this article the specific body parts that are connected to specific houses in the chart, as this is a wonderful first step for identification purposes. 

We can then connect the houses of our own chart to our own specific body parts. If for example you are having hand pain, you would look to the third house to see what is effecting the "house of hands." There is also a natural connection to Gemini as well because Gemini correlates to the number three, or the third house. The body parts (and houses) also connect us to specific chakras as well. For now, let's just stick to the houses and their correlating body parts and keep it simple. 

First House: Head and face
Second House: Throat, neck and mouth
Third House: Hands, arms and shoulders
Fourth House: Chest, heart, lungs, breasts
Fifth House: Upper stomach, solar plexus
Sixth House: Lower abdomen
Seventh House: Pelvic bowl and organs therein 
Eighth House: Sexual organs, genitals, excretory organs
Ninth House: Legs but specifically thighs
Tenth House: Knees
Eleventh House: Calves, ankles
Twelfth House: Feet

My work specifically includes a synergy of Jyotish wisdom, embodiment tools and art therapy resources, so working with body parts specifically is highly useful for making diagnosis and prescriptions for my clients. Often we can get ample wisdom from the body itself, and then take that information back to the chart for deeper investigation. It's this cross checking that becomes a very potent healing and transformation tool. 

To give you an example of this, I'll share a Creative Ritual here so you can get started with the self tracking process. We will be working directly with these tools in my Jyotish Basics Classes for Transformation and Healing. If you want to grow in the wisdom of your body and its cosmic intelligence, I strongly encourage you to join me for these Sunday classes. Register here.

It will also help if you have your own North Indian style chart to study. If you need a copy of your chart, 
I offer this service here.

Who is She?


She is wild, untamed and unpredictable.


She is your divine, feminine wisdom.


Your emotional body. Your intuitive guidance and creative intelligence.


She is your inner Moon.


She rules receptivity and She will determine your feelings of nourishment in life.


Know Her and know your divinity. Understand Her wisdom and become the magic of life!


But how do you know if you're in right-relationship with Her? With your Divine Feminine Self?


The truth is, most humans are in some state of conflict with various parts of themselves, especially their inner feminine wisdom.


Here are some signs you might be in conflict with Her:


- Confusion about choices, answers or solutions.

- In a state of chaos or overwhelm.

- Over stimulation or over activity causing heightened stress in the four bodies.

- Excess emotion, extreme emotional sensitivity.

- Living in black and white with no space for the unknown.

- Taking in too much, overly receptive- resulting in depletion of one or more of your bodies.

- Challenges and obstacles with all things Venus and Moon (Money, food, comforts, relationships, creativity, flow, emotions, health, vitality, female organs).

- Lack of ideas, creative activation, not feeling excited or passionate about life.

- Little to no intuitive awareness or wisdom.

- Problems with your mother, female figures or female relationships.

- Resistance to pleasure, joy, abundance, flow, creative intelligence.



If you answered yes to one or more of these signs, you are likely in conflict with your inner feminine wisdom- on some level of your being.


Often these vows are taken at a very young age. Later on in life, the suppression of your divine feminine wisdom will result in systemic issues on some level of your being.

This is not unusual since the Western-centric culture is predominantly rooted in the masculine energy of product instead of process, external focus rather than internal focus.

The feminine is more responsive, receptive and therefore in tune with process, flow and surrender.

In truth, we need balance between both the masculine and feminine energy within, but so often there is a conflict keeping us from experiencing this inner harmony.

When the issues with your feminine wisdom come to the surface of your awareness, when they become conscious, they can be identified and confronted. This usually arrives as some challenge, obstacle or conflict within you- or with another person.

Are you experiencing an inner conflict?


Part of you desires surrender, but the rest of you is terrified of letting go.


You tell yourself you should slow down and listen, but you keep pushing past the signals anyway. Maybe you don't hear the signals at all.


Often there's a terror about "losing control" or being in the unknown, the grey territory of life.


You are afraid of vulnerability and see the receptive, the feminine, as weak.

Resistance to change or receiving support.



This conflict with your feminine wisdom is keeping you from feeling deeper nourishment and harmony within you and your life. 


The truth is, it's a very old story.


If you're ready to re-write this story, reclaim your divine feminine wisdom, follow along with me in the coming days.


I will be sharing some potent resources to help you connect with your Divine Feminine wisdom, your inner goddess.


Join me for a *free* New Moon + Navaratri class this Sunday. Deepen your relationship with your inner goddess and release the past cycle more fully. Join the Class List.


As I shared in my last newsletter, suppressing my wild, creative wisdom has cost me dearly.


Touching Her wisdom within me these past few weeks, jolted me back to life and helped me gain clarity about my next offering.


As a result of this clarity, I won't be offering any new Jyotish Basics Classes this year.


But something even more potent has been created!



I am teaching a new, powerful Jyotish Astrology Course starting in April.


This course is open to only 25 woman- who want to dive more deeply into their own healing journey.


If you are ready to deepen your relationship with your inner, wild feminine, your immense creative powers, and transform your shadow into light, please join me for my 2016 Spring/Summer Jyotish Astrology Course. Get the Course Details.


There is so much creativity enlivening in the environment and the cosmos in the coming weeks.

I'm here to insure that you catch the wave of this abundance and don't miss out on increasing your resiliency and thriving!

To support your inner growth and integration process, I've created a tapping meditation for you. This particular process will support the current transits as well as the harmonizing of masculine and feminine energies within you. Use it as a resource for stepping into your healing and transformation process.

In the podcast below, I share a tapping (EFT) sequence with you that will guide you through transforming and releasing the old stories and invite in more receptivity. Remember, we start with identifying the challenges, then moving into possibility and desires in order to transform our shadow into light.

Use this podcast as you tap through these points:

Karate chop point (side of the hand).
Crown of the head.
Eyebrow point (above the eye).
Side of the eye.
Under the eye.
Under the nose.
Chin point (crease of the chin).
Throat point (collar bone/throat chakra).
Heart point (center of chest).
Stomach point (above the navel).
Side body (nipple line at side of chest).

Tap six to ten times on each point and just keep cycling through the points. Repeat the phrases I use aloud. Notice any thoughts, stories, memories or emotions that emerge as you tap. These are important pieces to return to, do more tapping on, as a way to clear blockages. As always, if the words I use don't work for you, change them to support your process more fully.

Share your experiences below! What emerged for you in this process? Excited to hear from you!


* One of my favorite things to do is hike in the woods. Often I tap and walk. This is a recording I made on one such hike. It was windy and snowy, so you'll here the elements along the way!
