This Week's Intention: The waves are subtle, yet strong. Great creative courage is available just under the surface. Take steps and make strides, to enliven your deepest desires. Awaken the pulse of your heart and Spirit. It is a new Moon week, which deepens feelings and the inward gaze. Diwali also begins this week, which honors and celebrates the abundance of Lakshmi, her wealth and vitality. As the week begins, Moon leaps through a challenging gandanta (gap) which triggers a powerful week ahead. Watch ego, father and masculine issues as well as your power in the coming days. Debilitated Sun and Mercury are in a fierce conjunction the entire week. The mind is focused and critical at times. Simultaneously, Venus and Saturn are also in tight conjunction this week. Pain, darkness and grief may rise to the surface. Be gentle with relationships and ask for extra support in the coming days. You'll need it, but may resist it simultaneously. Monday, October 24th Moon in 10th tithi Dashami Late morning, Moon leaps through the tricky gandanta (gap) between Cancer and Leo. The Moon will feel as though it's jumping from water to fire. Once in Leo, Moon enters Magha nakshatra, which connects to the ancestors- specifically the father's lineage. There's a certain magnanimous flavor to this star. It's bold, powerful and showy. As Moon arrives in Leo, it joins Rahu here as well. Tomorrow, it will move to the inside of Rahu, re-starting the Kala Sarpa yoga effects taking place on and off until January. Today, allow a final release to take place. Get clear on needs, action steps and choices. Commit and land within your power place. Allow your heart and feelings to guide you. There's a certain stripping away of the ego taking place. Shred and let go of what is not serving you. Unmask yourself. Tuesday, October 25th Moon in 11th tithi Ekadashi Magha's powerful influence of change continues until midday. Attend to ancestral support and honor the wisdom of Spirit arriving. Once Moon shifts to Purvaphalguni, Bhaga lends his abundance, comfort and support through resources and relationships. He is famous for offering sensuality and sexuality, as well as the pleasures of life. Right now, these needs will require you dive deeply into your unconscious terrain and clean up resistance, shadow and hidden grief. Make more space for the pleasures of life by clearing out your inner realms. This is a time of deep release, albeit painful at times. What are you inviting in? What is sacred enough to be in your life? As Moon moves into Bhaga's nakshatra, he will be in exact conjunction with Rahu. Once Moon shifts to the inside of the serpent's head early evening, a two week period of Kala Sarpa yoga begins once again. Since Moon and the other planets are moving towards Ketu, I'm considering this an Kala Amrita yoga. Deep liberation is available right now, but only if you allow the process to fully take place. Gather resource, support and guidance for deep awakening. Let go, let god. Debilitated Sun and Mercury are also in exact conjunction at this time. Mind is sharp, yet very inward and introspective. Meditation is a good use of your time. This is the last day to register for Awakening Through Grief!! Don't miss this powerful nine month journey into Heart and Spirit. Doors are closing! Wednesday, October 26th Moon in 12th tithi Dvadashi Moon continues through Purvaphalguni the majority of the day. Bhaga is one of the 12 Adityas, which means his purpose is to bring resources and support- especially through wealth and happiness. He connects to the 9th house, which brings luck, resources and fortune through dharma and right action. Spend time working on relationships today. Resources will come when you attend consciously to how you relate to others. Everyone is a mirror of yourself. Notice who walks in. Late afternoon, Moon shifts to the latter half of the Phalguni constellation and Aryaman brings another level of support and resources. As an Aditya, his assistance comes through sustenance, health and physical strength. He also supports lasting unions and upholding lineage through marriage and children. Sun rules this constellation and is currently debilitated in Libra. Be gentle and kind to others right now. Relationships are fragile and require extra attention. Sun and Mercury continue in exact conjunction today. Mind is sharp and over heated. Stay calm, cool and relaxed as much as possible. Don't push too hard. Late evening, Moon arrives in Virgo, Joining Jupiter here. Soften and expand. The first night of Deepavali, or Diwali, begins tonight. This is a five day celebration of Maha Lakshmi, honoring her divine abundance. Goddess Lakshmi blesses us with wealth on all levels of life- through health, vitality and wellness, as well as monetary abundance and riches. She supports the flow of love to the heart and brings harmony, balance and integration to the entire body. The most significant day of Diwali is on the new Moon. More details below. Thursday, October 27th Moon in 13th tithi Trayodashi Moon moves through Virgo today with Jupiter, the guru. Emotions need grounding and extra resources. Watch for an overactive critic. Gather guidance, resources and support in the coming days. Uttaraphalguni rules the majority of the day, offering wealth and abundance. His blessings can come in many forms, but often through lasting relationships, love and harmony. Relationships are delicate right now though and they require your attention and focus. With Sun currently debilitated and in exact conjunction with Mercury, there may be an extra critical glare mirrored to others, and yourself. Even still, gather your fruits and honor your rich harvest. Gratitude is the nectar of the heart and will feed you for life times. Late afternoon, Moon moves to Hasta nakshatra and Savitr brings light and awakening. Recite Gayatri Mantra for extra support. Saturn and Venus move into tight conjunction today. They will be tracking each other closely in Scorpio over the coming days. Relationships may feel more challenging as a result as hidden grief rises to the surface of your awareness. Attend to feelings and emotions diligently. Friday, October 28th Moon in 14th tithi Chaturdashi Hasta nakshatra is the main constellation of the day. providing awareness and insight, awakening and light. Magic from the hands is activated. Share it! Savitr is the ruling deity. He brings light and life, just as the light of the day awakens new possibility and potential. Bring in the light and invoke your desires, intentions and right action through dharma. Early evening, Moon arrives in Chitra, sparking Vishvakarma's action oriented approach to creativity. Vishvakarma is a master planner and builder who built the entire zodiac. There is ample creative potential available through this constellation. Use it! Saturday, October 29th Moon in 15th tithi Amavasya Moon moves to Libra late morning, joining debilitated Sun and Mercury here. Ketu gives his gaze, insuring sudden changes- especially emotionally. Sun and Mercury are still only a degree a part. The mental and physical bodies are in a battle of strength. The only way to arrive in the now is through the body. Get embodied and keep the mind in check. Creativity continues today under the gaze of Vishvakarma. Put your ideas into action and start building! Take a leap, take a step, move forward. Create, plan, set intentions and awaken through your creative powers. All the arts are supported by this constellation, especially those that utilize the hands.

Sunday, October 30th Moon in 15th tithi and 1st tithi Amavasya to Pratipad Saturn and Venus are in exact conjunction today. The need for structure and flow becomes self evident. This influences your relationships greatly. Attend to dark matter that is rising to the surface right now. Your hidden grief is requesting you look closely right now. Keep it moving. The October New Moon occurs at 11:38 MDT on Sunday, the 30th, Coinciding with Diwali, the Festival of Lights. Moon is transiting Libra and Swati nakshatra at this time. This constellation is ruled by Vayu, the wind god, who brings powerful forces of change and movement with him. He is cosmic breath, prana, supporting all the internal Vayus. He is your breath of life, the breath of the gods, the breath of Nature. The immense strength of the Rudras comes from Vayu. Hanuman is a Rudra, who proved his extreme powers when he leaped to Lanka, saving Sita and upholding dharma. This right action was an act of devotion towards Lord Rama. This new Moon sparks an immense change process, spearheaded by Vayu himself.

This dual rulership between the king and high priest, represents the necessity for co-creation in order to sustain life.

This Week's Intention: To see the moon that cannot be seen, Turn your eyes inward and look at yourself, in silence. ~Rumi The week begins on the tail end of a vulnerable full Moon and Sun's transit into Libra. As Moon passes through Pisces and into Aries, endings and beginnings will be awakened at the start of the week. Attend closely to your inhale to life and your exhale to death. What are you opening to? What are you closing to? Did you miss my *free* Full Moon Grief Ritual? Attend to your open and close with this special class. Listen for few more days. Sun shifts to its debilitation sign for the coming weeks on the 16th at 18:38. As he arrives in Libra, a softening of the masculine arrives. This often brings discomfort and disappointment from relationships. The masculine will be less available, less assertive and less present as a result of this transit. Notice your own relationship with your soft masculine. Are you resisting it or allowing it? This Sun cycle provokes a need for greater self awareness and understanding of the masculine. Read more about Sun in Libra Monday, October 17th Moon in 2nd tithi Dvitiya Moon continues to move through Bharani nakshatra. Look closely at your resistance today. There's a certain push back to getting your needs met, to honoring nourishment. What is the root of this resistance? Look closely at your needs and how they are not getting honored or supported. You are the cause of these unmet needs. You say you want it, but simultaneously aren't allowing the nourishment to arrive. Look closely at your fear of love, safety, holding and connection that you so deeply crave. Why are you saying no to what you so desperately yearn for? Late afternoon, Moon shifts to Krittika nakshatra. Transformation is arriving. The alchemy of change is taking place. Surrender to the process. Tuesday, October 18th Moon in 3rd tithi Tritiya As Tuesday begins, the Moon shifts into Taurus, becoming exalted. The emotional body is full and ripe. How are you attending to your inner waters? Krittika's transformational changes continue until late afternoon. Allow yourself to surrender to the change process within. Support the alchemy arriving. Agni is a powerful ally and resource. Moon moves to the potent, creative star of Rohini next. Lord Brahma and goddess Saraswati bring transformation through creative forces. They support the manifestation process by bringing your ideas, visions and imagination to life. What are you creating? What action steps are you working with to support this process? Saturn, Venus and Jupiter give their gaze to the Moon, bringing focused movement and expansion. Let your creativity enliven through artistry, co-creation and passion! Say yes to more abundance and nourishment. Wednesday, October 19th Moon in 4th and 5th tithi Chaturthi and Panchami Moon continues through the creative star, Rohini, until midday. Allow yourself to transform through creativity, playfulness and possibility. What are you moving towards? What are you manifesting and creating for your life? What resistance do you feel to creating what you want and need? What happens when you let go of this resistance? Arrive in the softness, the hope, the possibility. As Moon shifts to Mrigashirsha nakshatra, a new level of nourishment is awakened. It requires your movement and change though. Be willing to step towards the possibilities you enlivened earlier in the day. Are you ready to say yes? Where is your resistance still showing up to keep you from being deeply nourished? Who would you be if you were really thriving? What would you have to let go of? Thursday, October 20th Moon in 5th and 6th tithi Panchami and Sashthi As Thursday begins, Moon steps into Gemini. Ketu and Mars give their gaze to the emotional body. The Moon feels heat and sudden changes, aggression and instability. Lean into this uncertainty and challenge. What are you noticing? Just before noon, Moon moves to the aggressive and emotional star, Ardra. Rudra brings big emotional body waves with him. Today it will likely feel like anger, or perhaps a volcano. Allow the fire to move through you without restraint. Notice your resistance to your "ugly" emotions and how shame, guilt and avoidance shows up to stop it. How can you find safe and effective ways to release these challenging emotions moving through you? What can they teach you about your needs- for safety, security and self compassion? Friday, October 21st Moon in 7th tithi Saptami Moon continues through Ardra until late morning. Honor the emotional body and the power that it provides you with. Your feelings make you a human being! Use them effectively and gather resources to be in right relationship with your emotional body. As Moon moves into Punarvasu nakshatra late morning, a softening can arrive as well. It is your inner wisdom and self love that makes a gentleness and ease possible. The harshness is your perfectionism and your resistance to the messiness of life. What happens when you allow yourself to feel- to fully feel?! What happens when you lean into your challenging feelings- with loving kindness and compassion? How would a truly loving parent hold its child in a temper tantrum? Hold yourself with love and acceptance. What happens when you drop the story of being "wrong" for feeling what you feel? Self compassion is the first step in getting your needs met more fully and receiving deeper nourishment. Lean closer to your resistance, the resistance to being what you feel. Airy planet Mercury moves to air sign Libra just as October 22nd arrives, joining debilitated Sun here as well. Mercury will be in Libra until November 8th, about 18 days. He will be moving through a tight conjunction with the Sun during this transit, sharpening the mind with the experience of a soft Masculine presence. Ketu gives his gaze to both planets, sparking sudden release and flashes of insight as well as awakening through loss. Ruling planets of Libra are Venus (own sign) and Saturn (sign of exaltation). Both planets are moving through the powerfully transformational sign of Scorpio right now, supporting release of subconscious material and provoking shadow work to the surface. The deeper your willingness to release, the more space and availability you'll have for the connection, creativity and harmony you are seeking this month. Read more about Mercury in Libra Saturday, October 22nd Moon in 8th tithi Ashtami In the early hours of the morning, Moon arrives in its own sign, Cancer. A softening of the heart and emotional body may arrive in the coming days as a result. Allow your deep feelings to be present with honor and attentiveness. Mars continues to give his gaze, which may provoke frustrations, agitation and emotional release. Keep leaning in closer to your feelings. There's a possibility for deeper self compassion and inner gratitude to arrive if you step towards your emotional body more consciously. Touch that place of inner love and harmony. That place that accepts who you are without judgment or the critic. Late morning, Moon shifts to Pushya nakshatra. It's time for integration to take place. The open and close of your heart chambers, your breath, can support this process. What are you opening to? What are you closing to? What do you notice in-between the open and close? Did you miss my *free* Full Moon Grief Ritual? Attend to your open and close with this special class. Listen for few more days. Sunday, October 23rd Moon in 9th tithi Navami Late morning, Moon moves from the nourishing star, Pushya, into Ashlesha nakshatra. The feeling body moves towards the thinking mind and stirs a certain need to connect and co-create. A desire to be in relationship awakens- in order for deeper nourishment and support. Allow your imagination to support this need. What would feel helpful right now? Who and what do you need for greater resourcing and guidance? What is missing from your life right now? It's a time of deepening your inner awareness, rather than avoiding it. Don't push past your pain, lean closer to it. The mental/emotional body dance is strong right now. Stay grounded in the body and keep your emotions moving. Your inner waters need to flow. Monday, October 24th Moon in 10th tithi Dashami Late morning, Moon leaps through the tricky gandanta (gap) between Cancer and Leo. The Moon will feel as though it's jumping from water to fire. Once in Leo, Moon enters Magha nakshatra, which connects to the ancestors- specifically the father's lineage. There's a certain magnanimous flavor to this star. It's bold, powerful and showy. As Moon arrives in Leo, it joins Rahu here as well. Tomorrow, it will move to the inside of Rahu, re-starting the Kala Sarpa yoga effects taking place within the transits. Today, allow a final release to take place. Get clear on needs, action steps and choices. Commit and land within your power place. Allow your heart and feelings will guide you. There's a certain stripping away of the ego taking place. Shred and let go of what is not serving you. Unmask yourself. * Timing used is Mountain Daylight Time.

This Week's Intention: Go slow and tend to your inner stillness. Find that place within that is beyond right and wrong. Land in self love. As the Navaratri celebration comes to completion, seek integration and inner balance. Go slow, be still and listen carefully. It is a full Moon week. Moon is waxing so your energy will naturally be pulled outward. Try to maintain your inner attention and be present to your needs. Set a very clear intention for yourself as the doors close on this sacred gap in Natural time and we enter a new cycle. Whether you're in Northern or Southern Hemisphere, this is a time of death and re-birth. Durga is your certain death. And the rise from your own ashes. She is your re-birth. Again and again and again. Your return to the light, to life. Be like Durga. Don't be afraid to face your demons. Don't resist this battle. Surrender to it fully. Lean in towards your pain. Resistance only makes it intensify. Keep moving towards your demons. Trust that light will triumph through your efforts. There's still time for you to join me for Awakening Through Grief.

This is the last Chance to Join!! Wednesday, October 12th Moon in 12th tithi Dvadasi Moon transits Aquarius and Satabisha nakshatra today. The clean up after the storm is present. The dust is settling, the anguish softening, the pain is finding meaning and purpose. This is your healing. Be still and let the wisdom land within you. Don't rush the messages. Moon conjuncts Ketu here. Sudden insights arrive, as well as sudden changes. Stay connected to your core knowing. Trust. Trust. Trust. Venus is at the edge of Libra today, pulling you towards integration and balance. Where do you feel more harmony in your body? In your relationships? Within your relationship to Self? Thursday, October 13th Moon in 13th tithi Trayodasi Mid morning, Moon moves to Purvabhadrapada, symbolized by the front legs of a funeral cot. The end is near. Your release is inevitable. Let it go, let it release. Find all the places within you that are still holding on, gripping tightly to knowing. Surrender the answers and land closer to your inner trust. The first major transit of the month happens in the early morning of the 13th when Venus shifts into Scorpio, the sign of mysticism, grief, transformation and death. Scorpio brings depth, darkness and experiences that go far beyond the surface of existence. As the planet of feeling, creativity and relationships moves through this vulnerable sign, it touches the planet of grief, Saturn, directly through exact conjunction. This is a cycle of releasing, purging and emptying emotions on every level! The emotional body will feel especially vulnerable in the weeks to come, so honor your sensitivity with brave authenticity. Read more about Venus in Scorpio Friday, October 14th Moon in 14th tithi Chaturdashi As Friday begins, Moon arrives in the last sign of the zodiac, Pisces, finding completion for this cycle. Fiery Mars gives his gaze, as does Jupiter, Sun and Mercury. The Moon will feel the intense need for release, but struggles to let go simultaneously. Where are you still gripping and resisting this process? What emotions are stuck, stagnant and undigested? Moon transits the latter half of the Bhadrapada constellation today, symbolized by the back legs of the funeral cot. Extract meaning and understanding from your journey and all that has been moving through you. Land in the soft, gentle waves of your emotional body. Stand in your emotional tide pools and find simple pleasure and awe in your magnificence. Saturday, October 15th Moon in 15th tithi Purnima Early morning, Moon moves to the final constellation of the zodiac, Revati. Deep release is taking place. The silence will be palpable. Attend to this sacred moment with reverence and respect. Honor your needs for release and attend to your grief consciously. This is not a time to push past or numb the emotional body wisdom available right now. The October full Moon on the 15th creates a remarkable vulnerability with Moon in a very delicate gap point between Pisces and Aries. At 22:23, the fullness of the Moon arrives at the edge of Pisces, just past 29 degrees. The portal between endings and beginnings is activated, awake, alive. Pure vulnerability is provoked at this time, while simultaneously ushering in mystical and spiritual power. The Pisces/Aries gandanta (gap) is particularly challenging as Moon shifts from water into fire, release and liberation into hope and possibility. Pisces is also connected to the ancestors and endings, while Aries brings a young, new energy with it. This full Moon provokes the energy of closure and awakening to the new. What are you opening to? What are you closing to? Moon will be transiting Revati nakshatra at the time of the Full Moon, the final lunar constellation of the zodiac. Pushan rules this portion of the sky, bringing fruitful journeys and resources for your travels.

Sunday, October 16th Moon in 1st tithi Pratipad Just as Sunday begins, Moon leaps into Aries, jump starting a new cycle and fresh starts. Open doors, require that you attend to the closing of doors as well. How are you honoring this process of release and letting go? Moon moves through the challenging gandanta (gap) between endings and beginnings today, which enlivens uncertainty, confusion, and vulnerability. The emotional body is fragile, porous and requires your presence. How can you honor your emotional body with intention today? Rahu gives his gaze which shadows the emotional body and invites extra confusion as Moon moves through Ashwini nakshatra. This is a time to rejuvenate and tend to self care diligently. Late evening, Moon arrives in Bharani. Yama requires your restraint. Keep it simple and clarify your needs. Sun shifts to its debilitation sign for the coming weeks on the 16th at 18:38. As he arrives in Libra, a softening of the masculine arrives. This often brings discomfort and disappointment from relationships. The masculine will be less available, less assertive and less present as a result of this transit. Notice your own relationship with your soft masculine. Are you resisting it or allowing it? This Sun cycle provokes a need for greater self awareness and understanding of the masculine. Read more about Sun in Libra Monday, October 17th Moon in 2nd tithi Dvitiya Moon continues to move through Bharani nakshatra. Look closely at your resistance today. There's a certain push back to getting your needs met, to honoring nourishment. What is the root of this resistance? Look closely at your needs and how they are not getting honored or supported. You are the cause of these unmet needs. You say you want it, but simultaneously aren't allowing the nourishment to arrive. Look closely at your fear of love, safety, holding and connection that you so deeply crave. Why are you saying no to what you so desperately yearn for? Late afternoon, Moon shifts to Krittika nakshatra. Transformation is arriving. The alchemy of change is taking place. Surrender to the process. * Timing used is Mountain Daylight Time.

This is the last Chance to Join!! This Week's Intention: Release, let go, transform, liberate, heal. Repeat. Moon continues to wax as the sacred nine day celebration of Navaratri continues to unfold. The week begins with the last day of three dedicated to Ma Durga. Cutting, clearing and transformation abound! What are you releasing and letting go of? Work actively this week to change and release that which is not serving you on the psycho/emotional levels of your being. The coming days offer support from exalted Mercury. This is a short window of time to accomplish tasks, clarify needs and take potent action steps. Make hay while the Sun shines (literally- Sun will be debilitated later this month, becoming dim and inward). As you enter the sacred gap of time that is the 10 day Navaratri celebration, notice what's arriving. I have experienced that the first three days of Navaratri initiate the changes and transformations you are working with in this release cycle. Often you must confront challenges and obstacles as a result. More nourishment and support is coming, but you can't receive it without this important step. What is arriving? What parts of your personal mythology are showing up as a mirror for you? How can you clear more space within? Let Durga's fierce warrior energy initiate and provoke awareness. Read more about the power of Navaratri Monday, October 3rd Moon in 3rd tithi Tritiya Swati nakshatra continues to bring powerful changes to feelings and emotions. Ruling Deity of Swati nakshatra, Vayu, the wind god, invites in swift movement and change. Whether it's a gentle breeze or huge gusts, winds of change are ushering in transformation. What are you tracking within your own personal landscape? Use your emotional body as a resource for discerning your needs. What is working? What is not? What resources and support are you missing? Late evening, Moon moves to Vishaka nakshatra. It is the third day of Navaratri and the third day and night dedicated to Ma Durga. Recite Durga mantras and listen to Chandi Path recitations for extra support. Today, use connection and integration as a way to transform. Dual gods, Indra and Agni rule over Vishaka and instigate the need for partnership and co-creation. Agni, the ultimate transformational element provides the spark for change. What are you burning and releasing? Allow the strength of Indra to supply you with the power you need to awaken your inner wisdom. Clarify, purify, release. Mercury moves back into its favorite sign, Virgo today. As he re-enters his sign of exaltation, he joins Jupiter and Sun as well. At this point, we may finally get the positive effects of an exalted Mercury, with the expansive wisdom of Jupiter and the illumination of the Sun to support the awareness. A strong mind will bring more clarity, purposeful communication and potent resources. For the benefits of exalted Mercury to be felt, it will require patience and strong intentions. Stay true to your direction and continue to take action towards goals and desires. Increased financial support will come with your diligence. Work consistently and pro-actively on clearing limiting beliefs and mental/emotional blockages during this cycle- all that is hindering your ability to step more powerfully into financial abundance. Gather resources and support for this process. Jupiter will be activating your expansion, but only with the right guidance and support. Tuesday, October 4th Moon in 4th tithi Chaturthi Moon continues through Vishaka nakshatra today, increasing the need for co-creation and collaboration. Gather, collect, connect, get support. What resources are you missing for more nourishment and holding? More guidance and wisdom? Say yes to what you need. Where are you blocking this receptivity? Where are you not allowing in what you need? Notice your inner battle with power and step into your vulnerability. Late afternoon, Moon moves to Scorpio, its sign of debilitation, joining Saturn here. As Moon and Saturn conjoin, grief and emotion are released. Where are you suppressing, avoiding or resisting this natural process? What undigested grief are you holding onto? What unprocessed losses continue to impact you- consciously and unconsciously? Late evening, Moon shifts to Anuradha nakshatra and Mitra brings his support through friendship, connection and relationship. He allows deeper connection to take place. Where are you resisting feeling, connecting, allowing and aligning with love? Hint: resisting your grief will keep you from being able to feel more love. It is the first day of three dedicated to Maha Lakshmi in the Navaratri celebration. It is a time of gathering resources for deeper nourishment- physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. Lakshmi will be soothing you in the coming days. A washing of your wounds will take place. 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 at this time. Be receptive and receive her gifts. During the three days of Lakshmi, bring sweets and flowers to your altar, cook nourishing foods for your Self, decorate and adorn your body, the physical temple.

Mars is still moving through the challenging constellation Mula, which is dedicated to uprooting and harsh release.

This is a gandanta point, a gap, which is notorious for being extremely challenging. Moon conjuncts Mars here, and receives gaze from Rahu, which heats and agitates the emotional body. It can also bring powerful experiences of the Divine Mother. The entire constellation of Mula is considered a gandanta point which can feel very ungrounded, overwhelming and traumatic. Ruled by Ketu, this nakshatra is notorious for disconnection. Its symbol is a bundle of roots. Uprooting is synonymous with Mula nakshatra. Consider today as a potent day of change and transformation. This process will likely be uncomfortable and challenging. Release is often painful. What are you releasing and letting go of? What grief and big emotions have you been avoiding, resisting? Now is the time to allow the flow, the waves, the crash. Trust you will find your way back to shore. For now attend to the letting go. It is the first day of three 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. Remember that together, all 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. How are you clearing space within your body and life for more Shakti, life-force energy? For the final portion of Navaratri, which is dedicated to Goddess Saraswati, music, dance, art and poetry can be a good way to focus your energy, efforts and intentions. Use creativity, artistry and embodiment resources for grounding and landing in your intentions. Use one of my Creative Rituals for support with this process. Activate and align with your creative intelligence. What are you creating in your life? How are you creating more space for this? Use your creativity as a resource for transformation. Don't Miss my *free* Grief Class on Sunday, October 9th. Gather resources, guidance and support during this powerful time of Navaratri. Join Now Saturday, October 8th Moon in 8th tithi Ashtami Early Saturday, Moon and Mars shift into PurvaAshada nakshatra almost simultaneously. This marks a big shift in the transformational energy of this time. The uprooting comes to a close, and Apas, the water goddess, brings in rejuvenation and restoration. Consider this the wave that brings you back to shore. There will be emotional body waves, as Apas connects to flowing water. Your job is to do whatever it takes to keep your inner waters flowing, moving, transforming. Let dance, yoga and the arts support the movement, creativity and change process taking place within you. Allow the waves to come. Let your emotional body flow. Use resources that encourage your creative intelligence to bubble up to the conscious awareness. You have been clearing a lot of space within your bodies recently. How are you attending to this space within? Don't fill it too quickly. Stay here and linger a while longer. It is the second day of three dedicated to Goddess Saraswati. She gives us knowledge, understanding, wisdom, creativity and artistry.

Join Now Sunday, October 9th Moon in 9th tithi Navami Moon moves to UttaraAshada late morning, yet Mars and Rahu still give their influence. There's a strong energy of anger and deception touching the emotional body. Where do you feel this in your body? Ruling planet of this nakshatra is Sun, who brings the light. Seek illumination, resources, answers and explanations. UttaraAshada is ruled by the Vishva Devas who seek right action and dharmic alignment. Where are you honoring your dharmic path? Where are you resisting or avoiding your ancestral power? As Moon shifts into Capricorn early afternoon, Saturn's influence returns. Both Saturn and Jupiter give their gaze to the Moon as well. Seek steadiness, balance and integration. The physical body is your entry point for these resources. Get into the body and land within. It is the third day of three 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.

Monday, October 10th Moon in 10th tithi Dashami Just as Monday begins, Moon arrives in the six degree range of Capricorn and moves into the sacred 28th nakshatra, Abhijit. This is a spiritual gap that supports healing, awakening and resources that support the inner realms. Use this time for aligning with your inner knowing and inner abundance. Rest, meditate, restore. Use the space you've created over the past days of clearing and cutting away the excess, with intention. What seeds are you planting? How do you want to honor this new space? Let your creative life force energy fully awaken. This is a very poignant time in the Navaratri celebration. A time of closures and completion. As moon shifts into Sravana nakshatra late morning, Vishnu arrives with his dharmic support. He brings alignment and clarity with your path and purpose. Pay attention to how he arrives and what resources he offers you. Expansion and awakening are happening right now. The extent to which you have been clearing and cleaning out the shadow recently, will determine the space in which you have to receive the gifts. Make room for more. Continue to attend to goddess Saraswati and her wisdom today, until midday. As Moon shifts into the 10th tithi, Dashami, around noon, the inner battles begin to find their resolution. The 10th tithi (Moon phase) is aligned with dharma and right action. Aryaman is the ruling deity, who connects to the ancestors and carrying forth the lineage. Once Moon lands in Dashami, there is a 24 hour cycle that enlivens Durga's victory over the demon Mahishasura. The battle between light and dark, good and bad, masculine and feminine, transformation and healing, is finding closure within you right now. Polarities begin to integrate and find harmony. Notice how this arrives within physical, mental, emotional and spiritual bodies. Where do you feel this gentle balance arriving within your body? Listen to its wisdom? Use rituals to support your integration process, especially those that include breath and embodiment. Tuesday, October 11th Moon in 11th tithi Ekadashi Vijaya Dashami, the day of victory, continues today until Moon shifts into the 11th tithi midday. Celebrate the power of Durga and her fierce energy of awakening. She represents the light within and this resource will always win over the shadow and darkness. We need the darkness to arrive into the light; both must be honored equally as they support the nature of each other, they express the wisdom of Nature and her laws. Day brings night, and night brings day. Death is life and life is death. Today, Durga overtakes the demon Mahishasura, representing this powerful truth within us and within Nature! Notice clarity, resources, peace, wisdom and unification arriving. Use rituals that support your integration and alignment with Nature. Spend time outside touching the earth and finding grounding. Meditate, chant, dance and sing. Celebrate! Awaken your inner light and align with your pure truth. As the Moon shifts into Dhanishta nakshatra late morning, the Vasu Devas bring increased light (jyoti) and awaken resources of support. The eight Vasu Devas are sources of illumination and prosperity. Their light illuminates the world and each one of us is illuminated by them. They dwell within us and help us awaken to our own light, while also showing us our light externally. Their light is two fold. Through their brilliant light and resources, we are able to manifest and create on the material plane of existence, thus they uphold dharma, truth and support the activation of right action. Move towards your dharmic path with conviction today. Use the resources arriving actively. Gather guidance, support and the wisdom you need to continue your path of awakening, healing and transformation. Thought the work is never complete, rest in this moment where light has for now, re-established its rightful place within. * All timing used is Mountain Daylight Time

Let's connect for a session. Together we can create a plan of action for you. * Grief Portrait /// Layer 3 This Week's Intention: The body becomes a vital resource this week- for gaining support, stability and grounding. Inner waves will be choppy, extreme and overwhelming. Get firmly embodied- so you can fully land in the "now". Moon is waning, becoming new late in the week. The sacred Vedic celebration of Navaratri begins with the empty Moon, marking a powerful transition point between seasons. The Divine Mother is awakening within all of us- offering clearing, cutting and transformation. We are experiencing a powerful transition point. (More details below). As Moon moves past Rahu mid week, the Kala Sarpa yoga effects intensify. This will last for another two weeks, until Moon moves to the other side of Ketu and Aquarius. The dance of Kala Sarpa yoga continues until January. Expect extremes- highs and lows. It is a time of learning how to navigate choppy waters and find your inner shore. Please follow along as I share resources for working with grief and big emotions. Join my *free* class here. Monday, September 26th Moon in 12th tithi Dvadashi Moon shifts to Ashlesha nakshatra just after Monday begins. The domain of Sarpa enlivens with depth and mysticism. Awakening is available, if you are willing to attend to your inner darkness and navigate challenging territory within. Growth and wisdom come from leaning into the unknown parts of yourself. What terrifies you, what provokes uncertainty and confusion? What resources and support do you need in order to feel more held and safe with your healing journey? There's an integration and harmony arriving with your mind and emotions. Activate and align with your polarities. Harness the wisdom from both the challenges and the resources that you are confronting. Sun is transiting Virgo right now and shifts into Hasta nakshatra early afternoon. This is the domain of Savitr, a resource for awakening, dawning and moving into the light. Find your inner light switch and turn it on. What do you see? Tuesday, September 27th Moon in 13th tithi Trayodasi Early Tuesday morning, Moon leaps through the challenging gandanta (gap) between Cancer and Leo, landing in Magha nakshatra. This is a regal constellation, connected to the father and the ancestors specifically. There is leadership available here. Step into your power and use your strength for divine purpose. Moon joins Rahu and Mercury in Leo for the coming days. All three planets receive gaze from Ketu and Saturn. There is a need for release, but confusion about how to do so. Restriction and resistance co-mingle with sudden shifts and changes. Where are you gripping? Where are you allowing release? How can you keep landing in your body- in order to ground more firmly in the "now"? Wednesday, September 28th Moon in 14th tithi Chaturdasi Late morning, Moon moves into Purvaphalguni nakshatra, and into tight conjunction with Rahu. Bhaga is enlivened, the resource provider. He brings what you need, in order to feel the pleasure of life. Today, you may feel big abundance, or extreme lack- depending on your natal chart relationship with Venus and Rahu and Moon. The emotions will be shadowed and may feel extreme or volatile. Emotional body waves are stronger when Moon interacts with the karma nodes, Rahu and Ketu. As Moon crosses over Rahu today and to the other side of him, expect the emotional body to intensify. Once Moon moves to the inside of Rahu this afternoon, the effects of Kala Sarpa yoga return for the coming weeks. Highs and lows should be expected. Read more here. The Moon will be sandwiched in between Rahu and Mercury until Thursday, causing intensified mental and emotional body pressures. Sudden stops and starts may be experienced- especially with power, communication, finances and creativity. Ride the waves and find soft landing in your body. It is the only place to find the "now". Jupiter is moving through his 13 month transit in Virgo and steps into Hasta nakshatra early morning. He will be in Hasta until the end of November. There is a powerful awakening possible right now. Lean into your light, wisdom and inner resources. This does not mean bypass the challenges, hardships or grief moving through you. It requires your deep authenticity, and presence with your whole range of being. Dedicate your efforts to awakening right now, bringing light (presence) to your darkness and bowing to it in deep reverence. Recite Gayatri Mantra for extra support in the coming weeks. Join me as I share resources for navigating grief and big emotions. *Free* class Oct 1st. Join the List Thursday, September 29th Moon in 14th and 15th tithi Chaturdasi and Amavasya Mid morning, Moon moves to the latter half of the Phalguni constellation, where Aryaman resides. Family nourishment and support becomes a vital resource today, though may provide challenges simultaneously. What do you need to feel connected, supported, honored and loved? How can you get this need me for connection- in a nourishing way? Moon moves into Virgo early afternoon, joining Sun and Jupiter here. All three planets are outside of the gaze of the other planets, which may support some upliftment on the emotional body level. Allow yourself to expand into the light, love and gratitude within. Where do you feel this in your body wisdom? Land here. Do it again and again. Friday, September 30th Moon in 15th and 1st tithi Amavasya and Pratipad Late morning, Moon shifts into Hasta nakshatra, joining both Sun and Jupiter in this lunar constellation. Savitr is enlivened on multiple levels, bringing the possibility of awakening to the soul and emotional body. The new Moon is at 16:12 MDT, while Moon moves through Virgo and Hasta nakshatra. This constellation is ruled by the Moon, so the emotional body will be a primary resource in the coming waxing cycle. Your relationship with the Moon will directly impact the effects of your awakening process. Do not neglect, avoid or resist your inner waves. In fact, your enlightenment is intimately connected to your emotional body relationship. Do you lean in closer and ride the waves? Or do you push past these important inner messengers? I'm sharing powerful resources for helping you navigate your inner landscape right now. Join my free class. Read More about the new Moon As the Moon shifts into the first tithi early evening, the sacred ten day and night celebration of Shardiya Maha Navaratri begins. Nava means nine and ratri means night in Sanskrit. Each day and night of this powerful junction point, correlates to the epic battle between the goddess Sri Devi Mahatmyam and the demon Mahishasura. Maha Devi Mahatmyam is connected to both Durga and Shakti, powerful forms of divine feminine energy that awaken, clear, transform and heal. Sri Devi is understood to be the supreme creation power of the universe, the Tridevi, or triple goddess, as she expresses the creation, sustaining and destructive energies that perpetuate all forms of life. In the sacred text known as the Sri Devi Mahatmyam, composed between 400 and 600 CE, the many forms of the goddess are expressed. "She is presented, through a language of praise, as the one who dwells in all creatures, as the soul, as the power to know, the power to will and the power to act. She is consciousness of all living beings, she is intelligence, she is matter, and she is all that is form or emotion." - Via Wikipedia Read more about the importance of Navaratri and how to use this sacred time to maximize the healing effects.

Join the List Saturday, October 1st Moon in 1st tithi Pratipad The Moon is empty now and the Navaratri celebrations begin with three days and nights dedicated to Maha Durga. Savitr continues to bring his support until noon, when the Moon then shifts to Chitra nakshatra- Vishva Karma's domain. As the divine architect, he brings immense creativity, building, planning and resources. He awakens and enlivens action steps and plans. Mars rules this lunar constellation, yet the planet of fire and warrior action is currently transiting the challenging star, Mula, in Sagittarius. Confusion about action steps may arrive. Notice the nuances arriving today, as important uprooting and release is taking place. It's the first day of Navaratri and Durga begins her battle against the asura (demon) Mahishasura. The battle between dark and light forces starts to work its magic on you as well. Acknowledge and address challenges head on. Notice the inner conflicts emerging. This is a powerful time to integrate polarities, but first you must pull up the weeds in mind and emotions. The coming days will test your ability to face your demons and confront your darkness. On this first day and night of Navaratri, notice what's arriving. I have noticed that the first three days of Navaratri initiate the changes and transformations we are working with in this release cycle. Often we must confront challenges and obstacles as a result. More nourishment and support are coming, but we can't receive it without this important step. What is arriving? What parts of your personal mythology are showing up as a mirror for you? How can you clear more space within? Let Durga's fierce warrior energy initiate and provoke awareness. Emotionally, we may feel anger, pain, frustration or sadness emerge in the coming days. Physically we may need more rest or silence. Mentally we may need more inward reflection as well as time for meditation. Spiritually, we may need time with nature and to attend to rituals that help us land in deeper presence. Understand that this is a part of the change and transformation process. Where can you land into deeper presence with your needs? As you deepen your intention for this Navaratri celebration, find meaningful rituals for yourself that bring you closer to spirit. Spend time in nature and in meditation. Listening to Durga mantras right now is excellent for inviting in her presence. Traditionally, listening to Chandi Path recitations is also encouraged. Sunday, October 2nd Moon in 2nd tithi Dvitiya Just as Sunday begins, the Moon moves to one of its least favorite signs, Libra, joining Venus here. Venus adores Libra, which helps to bring some support, however Venus is not fond of the Moon. The vacillation and back and forth, that Libra is famous for, imbalances and destabilizes the Moon as well. Ketu gives his gaze, provoking sudden awakening- either through awareness or loss, or both. You will likely feel the unsteadiness in mind and emotions today. This will impact relationships, business and comforts especially. Late afternoon, Moon moves to Swati nakshatra and the wind god, Vayu brings change, movement and detachment. Relationship changes arrive. What do you need to feel more stability, support and grounding? It is the second day and night of the Navaratri celebration and the second of three that are dedicated to Ma Durga. Her battle begins to intensify today. Notice the conflicts and polarities rising to the surface of your mind. Notice the impact on your emotional body. Notice the effects on your physical body. How can you reconnect to your inner knowing, even when the inner battle is intensifying? Recite Durga mantras and listen to Chandi Path recitations for extra support. Monday, October 3rd Moon in 3rd tithi Tritiya Swati nakshatra continues to bring powerful changes to feelings and emotions. Ruling Deity of Swati nakshatra, Vayu, the wind god, invites in swift movement and change. Whether it's a gentle breeze or huge gusts, winds of change are ushering in transformation. What are you tracking within your own personal landscape? Use your emotional body as a resource for discerning your needs. What is working? What is not? What resources and support are you missing? Late evening, Moon moves to Vishaka nakshatra. It is the third day of Navaratri and the third day and night dedicated to Ma Durga. Recite Durga mantras and listen to Chandi Path recitations for extra support. Today, use connection and integration as a way to transform. Dual gods, Indra and Agni rule over Vishaka and instigate the need for partnership and co-creation. Agni, the ultimate transformational element provides the spark for change. What are you burning and releasing? Allow the strength of Indra to supply you with the power you need to awaken your inner wisdom. Clarify, purify, release. Mercury moves back into its favorite sign, Virgo today. As he re-enters his sign of exaltation, he joins Jupiter and Sun as well. At this point, we may finally get the positive effects of an exalted Mercury, with the expansive wisdom of Jupiter and the illumination of the Sun to support the awareness. A strong mind will bring more clarity, purposeful communication and potent resources. For the benefits of exalted Mercury to be felt, it will require patience and strong intentions. Stay true to your direction and continue to take action towards goals and desires. Increased financial support will come with your diligence. Work consistently and pro-actively on clearing limiting beliefs and mental/emotional blockages during this cycle- all that is hindering your ability to step more powerfully into financial abundance. Gather resources and support for this process. Jupiter will be activating your expansion, but only with the right guidance and support. * All timing used is Mountain Daylight Time

Energize and enliven dreams and desires. Seek integration and balance through wisdom, resources and support. Allow yourself to be held. The Moon begins its journey inward, waning and softening in the coming days. On the heels of the full Moon and lunar eclipse, as well as three major transits, a new week arrives with promises of fresh starts. The eclipse portal has closed, yet integration and digestion of the past many weeks is still simmering. Attend to clean up and endings. A sense of possibility is awakened, while a necessity to attend to malnourishment and places within that don't feel supported, connected or whole still lingers. Ride the waves this week, deepening your inner journey. What do you truly need for more integration and balance- in self and relationships? Did you miss the details of last week's transits? Read More Monday, September 19th Moon 4th tithi Chaturthi Moon continues to transit Aries, but shifts to Bharani nakshatra late Monday morning. Rahu shares his powerful desires and intense cravings with the emotional body. The closing of the eclipse portal continues, requesting integration, digestion and assimilation of the past weeks. What challenges have you encountered? What resources have arrived? As Moon moves to Bharani nakshatra late morning, Yama brings his transitional energy as he connects to death and release. He needs restraint and simplicity, without elaboration or excess. His powers enliven the death process- a process of release and ending, as well as opening and beginning. How are you attending to your inner transformation process? What support and holding do you need? What is missing and where do you need more resources and guidance? Change and transformation are awakened right now with three planets having just changed signs in the past three days and Moon beginning a new transit around the zodiac. What are you opening to? What are you closing to? Tuesday, September 20th Moon in 5th tithi Panchami Late morning, Moon moves to Krittika nakshatra, bringing the transformational energy of Agni to the day. The alchemical element of fire is enlivened, supporting digestion, assimilation and deeper nourishment as a result. Precision and cutting happen with this constellation. Simplify and find clarity with your needs. Make choices and take action accordingly. Early afternoon, Moon moves into its sign of exaltation, Taurus, receiving the expansive, nurturing gaze of Jupiter. Emotions swell and feelings intensify. What is working? What is not? Get clear on what you need as you navigate your emotional body with conscious awareness. Wednesday, September 21st Moon in 6th tithi Sashti Mid morning, Moon moves to the creative and potent constellation, Rohini. Lord Brahma and Goddess Saraswati invite manifestation from creative acts and artistic endeavors. It is through your creativity, your artistry, that you bring your desires into manifest form. This is the power you have as a human being, as a creator. What are you creating today? What are you bringing forth into form? What desires need your attention and intention today? Expand your vision. Thursday, September 22nd Moon in 7th to 8th tithi Saptami to Ashtami Early morning, Moon shifts into Mrigashirsha nakshatra, the domain of Soma, divine nectar. This life force enhancing nourishment is the drink of the gods, but can be absorbed through direct contact with the Moon, Chandra. There is movement, growth and powerful creativity available with this constellation. Create, thrive, grow. Late afternoon, Moon moves to Gemini, receiving gaze from Mars and Ketu. The emotional body feels heat and agitation, sudden awareness and release. Mental and emotional body needs surface. Stay connected to your inner landscape. What are the needs surfacing? Fall Equinox happens September 22nd at 08:21 MDT, when day and night are almost equal in length. Sun crosses the celestial equator (the imaginary line in the sky above the Earth’s equator), marking the beginning of fall for the Northern Hemisphere and spring for the Southern Hemisphere. It is also a time of polarity shifts and a can be a transition point that sparks change. Outer tendencies become inner, challenges become resources, doors that were closed before may re-open and vice versa. It is a time of regaining some balance and integration with the opposite extreme, but will provoke discomfort as you get used to the shift. Anywhere there's been imbalance in your life, expect a shift in the other direction now. Seek balance and harmony rather than bi-polar extremes. Mercury goes direct, just as Thursday begins. Still under the gaze of Saturn as he navigates Leo for another 10 days, the mental body is under pressure. Grief, discomfort and resentment may be released from the mind. Once Mercury goes direct in Leo, he won't re-enter Virgo again until October 3rd. As he re-enters his sign of exaltation, he joins Jupiter and Sun as well. At this point, we may finally get the positive effects of an exalted Mercury, with the expansive wisdom of Jupiter and the illumination of the Sun to support the awareness. A strong mind will bring more clarity, purposeful communication and potent resources. For the benefits of exalted Mercury to be felt, it will require patience and strong intentions. Read more about Mercury direct Friday, September 23rd Moon in 9th tithi Navami Early morning, Moon moves to Ardra nakshatra, Rudra's constellation. Power, force and emotion arrive. How do you use this immense power? Can you use the challenge as a resource? Channel the immense emotion moving through you in a way that propels you forward, supports momentum and intentional change. Awakening is possible through your action steps right now. Stay connected to your choices and heart wisdom. Navigate the inner waves with skill and focus. How do you channel your powerful inner waters in order for change and transformation? Saturday, September 24th Moon in 10th tithi Dashami Early morning, Moon shifts to Punarvasu nakshatra and the sweetness of Aditi arrives to nourish and support you with her resources and wisdom. Her ability to create wholeness and to unify, will provide some nourishment. Look for the resources arriving to support you. Gratitude is the balm of the heart and a powerful resource for attracting more wholeness. What are you grateful for today? Late evening, Moon moves to its own sign, Cancer, opening the heart even wider. Softly land within your heart wisdom and listen carefully. What messages are arriving? Tend to your needs with intention and surrender. Sunday, September 25th Moon in 11th tithi Ekadashi Moon transits Cancer today, moving through Pushya nakshatra. Mars gives his fiery gaze to his least favorite sign, the heart centered, feeling sign of the Moon. Feel what you feel. Anger arrives to help you create clearer boundaries and honor what is working and what is not working. Where have you been saying yes when you should be saying no? Pushya supports deep nourishment on all levels of life, but requires balance and integration with inner and outer needs. Clarity with your needs is a must right now. No excuses! Find balance between your opening and closing, your yes and your no, inner and outer, self and relationships. Get specific about your needs and how to express them from a heart centered place. Monday, September 26th Moon in 12th tithi Dvadashi Moon shifts to Ashlesha nakshatra just after Monday begins. The domain of Sarpa enlivens with depth and mysticism. Awakening is available, if you are willing to attend to your inner darkness and navigate challenging territory within. Growth and wisdom come from leaning into the unknown parts of yourself. What terrifies you, what provokes uncertainty and confusion? What resources and support do you need in order to feel more held and safe with your healing journey?

Need more support navigating your inner terrain and emotional body landscape? Let's connect for a session. Together we can create a plan of action for you. This Week's Intention: Sensitivity is your gift. Be sure to honor your inner landscape- physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually. Seek balance with inner and outer, as well as with self and others. Presence is your super power. The week begins as Ganesha Chaturthi ends. Monday morning finishes the celebration of the revered elephant god who removes obstacles from your path of enlightenment. A great way to start the week off! Moon continues to wax as challenging planetary configurations and alignments activate. Some relief may be felt despite the current Kala Sarpa Yoga effects (see more below) depending on your natal chart. With Mars and Saturn separating now, as well as the tight conjunctions in Virgo, some progress is made. Sun continues to conjunct Rahu closely, however, bringing challenges with ego, masculinity, self expression and power. Monday, September 5th Moon in 5th tithi Panchami Late Monday morning, moon shifts into Swati nakshatra, Vayu's territory. Movement will be maximized- whether small or large, gentle or harsh. The nature of Vayu is air, cooling things off softly and also brutally. As Moon moves through Libra at the start of the week, the need for balance, integration and connection increases. Ketu's gaze upon the Moon brings sudden changes, shifts and awakenings. Emotions may be sparked suddenly, but will release just as quickly. There is a link between Vayu and Rudra- which indicates great strength is available here. Vayu is also breath, the breath of life, life force energy. He can bring balance or imbalance, but Prana (your inner winds) will restore and bring health and vitality. If you can get your inner winds in balance, then everything else falls into place. Use pranayama, physical movement and breath awareness into your day. Sun is still in very close proximity to Rahu and will continue to move past him in the coming days. Issues with ego, sense of self worth and inner resiliency are amplified. As Sun moves to the other side of Rahu, towards the edge of Leo, a unique planetary yoga occurs. All planets will be scissored in between Rahu and Ketu until late December (once Mars moves to the other side of Ketu). This yoga is called Kala Sarpa (The Serpent of Time) and will intensify each month as Moon enters Leo and moves through Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn and through Aquarius. Moon mirrors and magnifies, so issues provoked by these signs and the planets in these signs, will be amplified as a result. Kala Sarpa Yoga's effects intensify the planetary combinations at play as all planets are essentially "hemmed in" by the malefic shadow nodes, Rahu and Ketu.

Get the Details Tuesday, September 6th Moon in 6th tithi Sashthi Moon continues through Vayu's domain the first half of the day. Powerful changes and shifts are possible. Emotions are changing, but you may miss their messages. Be sure to connect within and spend time in your emotional body landscape. Mid day, Moon shifts into Vishaka nakshatra. Ketu gives his gaze, sparking sudden shifts and emotions. What are you feeling and why? What is the need emerging? Vishaka requests collaboration and co-creation. Two is better than one. Are you resisting support and relationship? We are inter dependent, community oriented, tribal beings. Who are you in service to? What needs are not being met and what resources and relationships do you need to get these needs met? Avoid isolation. Sun and Rahu continue in close conjunction, with Saturn giving his gaze to both. Be diligent with the physical and spiritual bodies right now. Go slow and honor your ripening. Wednesday, September 7th Moon in 7th tithi Saptami Moon continues through Vishaka, Indra and Agni's constellation. Late morning, Moon moves to its debilitation sign, Scorpio, and moves into conjunction with Saturn and Mars. The emotional body will feel the heat and pressure in the coming days. This may show up as anger and sadness, or both. What is your emotional body telling you about your needs? What is working? What is not working? As Moon shifts into Anuradha nakshatra early afternoon, the Aditya, Mitra, brings resources through friendships and support. Mitra is your friend, your confidant. He honors you and brings you what you need for more nourishment, comfort and connection. Are you reaching out? Are you reaching in? Is there balance with both? Retrograde debilitated Mercury is now at the edge of Virgo, preparing to return to Leo- where he will run right into the Sun. The mental body is very fragile right now. Be clear with communication and connections. You may find yourself repeating and re-doing right now. Go slow and be methodical to avoid mishaps. Thursday, September 8th Moon in 7th to 8th tithi Saptami to Ashtami Moon is in Mitra's domain the majority of the day. Anuradha is symbolized by a decorated gateway, inviting in openings, celebrations and success. Triumph is given under this constellation- which is good for anything auspicious or ceremonial. Ask for what you need and gather the resources, support and connections you need to get your requests fulfilled. Mitra is an Aditya, which means he gives resources. Feel into the emotional body. What is helping you feel nourished? What is not? Make the necessary adjustments and reach out for what you need. Early evening, Moon shifts to the last nakshatra of Scorpio, Jyeshtha. This is a Mercury ruled constellation and connects to a powerful mind and senses. Mercury however is in the gap between Virgo and Leo, in very delicate degrees. The mind and senses become vulnerable and overly sensitive as a result. Don't get overly stimulated. Meditate and get embodied. Join me for a *free* 14 Day Emotional Body Challenge! I'll be sharing resources, tools and extra guidance to navigate these choppy cosmic tides in the coming weeks. Get the Details Friday, September 9th Moon in 8th and 9th tithi Ashtami to Navami Jyeshta's influence continues, bringing Indra's strength and sensitivity to the forefront. Mind your senses today or they will mind you. This is a vulnerable day for the mental body as ruling planet of this constellation, Mercury, shifts signs mid morning and will be in very weak degrees today, lingering in the gap between Virgo and Leo. As Mercury continues to retrograde, his debilitation is canceled once he enters Leo. This will provoke a more externalized experience with the mental body in the coming days. Early evening, Moon shifts to Sagittarius and Mula nakshatra, Nirrti's domain. She brings breaking, uprooting and transformation- usually in a chaotic form. Mula can also bring spiritual realizations and awakening- if you are willing to move beyond the pain, trauma and challenges this constellation offers. This requires your diligence with using the pain as a resource for healing. Consider this a spiritual evening. Stay inward and be gentle with yourself and others. Once Mercury goes direct in Leo, he won't re-enter Virgo again until October 3rd. As he re-enters his sign of exaltation, he joins Jupiter and Sun as well. At this point, we may finally get the positive effects of an exalted Mercury, with the expansive wisdom of Jupiter and the illumination of the Sun to support the awareness. A strong mind will bring more clarity, purposeful communication and potent resources. For the benefits of exalted Mercury to be felt, it will require patience and strong intentions. Read more about retrograde Mercury in Leo Saturday, September 10th Moon in 9th tithi Navami Moon continues through Mula today as Rahu gives his gaze. Though this constellation can bring healing and awakening through breaking, opening and uprooting, Rahu's gaze can challenge the process further. Allow yourself to move towards the chaos and challenges today. Lean in closer and investigate the why. There's some possibility of being dis-empowered today. What is the wisdom you can extract from this experience? What is the resource in the challenge? Late evening Moon moves to PurvaAshada, into the domain of the water goddess Apas. She requires your transformation through moving the inner waters. Purge the emotional body. Allow tears to flow. Dance and move your inner waves. Sunday, September 11th Moon in 10th tithi Dashami Apas continues to rule the day with her watery wisdom. She brings strong feelings and keeps one searching, longing, as a result of inner emotions. Rejuvenation arrives through movement and sweat- which is an alchemy process, a form of inner transformation. Change the emotion by moving your physical body. Transform challenging inner emotions into awakening, awareness and realization. Stay close to the physical body today. Be near water and ride the waves. Late evening, Moon shifts into the latter half of the Ashada constellation, UttaraAshada. The Vishvadevas bring a sense of accomplishment and purpose when you are aligned with right action, choices that serve your dharmic path. What does right action look like to you? What does it feel like? Monday, September 12th Moon in 11th tithi Ekadashi The week begins with Moon moving through UttaraAshada, shifting into Capricorn mid morning. Saturn gives his gaze, requesting steady, consistent steps and attention to sadness, loss and grief in the coming days, as well as hard work. The Vishvadevas rule this constellation, requesting powerful actions and choices that align with your higher purpose. They provide the tenants for good character, integrity and nobility. The Vishva devas insist on dharmic action and will not settle for anything less. Where are you aligned with your dharmic path? Where are you misaligned? What adjustments need to be made? Early evening, Moon passes through the sacred nakshatra, Abhijit, opening a portal into the spirit world. This is a sacred time of connecting to higher forces and inner realms. The door is open until just after midnight. Pause, check in, meditate, spend time in nature. Connect with your dharmic truth and inner power. Say yes to your inner wisdom by showing up in presence. Join me for a *special* workshop to clear your heart and awaken your emotional body wisdom.

Schedule A Session This Week's Intention: Stay close to your heart and emotional body wisdom this week. Honor your steps, but go slow and be steady. What is your intention for action and movement? Let your momentum come from this place. It is a new Moon week. The Moon is waning, turning inward, becoming dark and empty. As the Moon tides soften and become still, as does your emotional body. Pause more. Listen carefully and honor the wisdom coming from your soft, inner landscape. With this new Moon, the two week eclipse portal between lunar and solar eclipses also begins. Be gentle with yourself and honor the fact that others will be extra sensitive as well. More details in my New Moon Wisdom. Mercury goes retrograde early in the week and the mind moves in reverse for 23 days. Get innovative. Monday, August 29th Moon in 13th tithi Trayodasi Monday begins with Moon moving into Pushya nakshatra and its own sign Cancer. Pushya, the nourishing star, is Brihaspati's domain. As a personification of Jupiter, Brihaspati brings learning, knowledge and wisdom as well as support. How do you accept the support he is offering you? Are you able to receive and acknowledge what is arriving? Let gratitude be a balm for your heart and count your blessings. Saturn rules this nakshatra, requesting stability and steadiness. Go slow and continue to honor the needs he is presenting in your physical and emotional bodies. Stay connected to the wisdom of your body; get embodied. Use the breath as a resource for integration. You are still finding balance within polarities- light and dark, life and death, fast and slow, young and old, masculine and feminine. Use this time to honor all that you are. Lead with the heart as it is the ultimate point of integration and balance. Late evening Moon shifts to Ashlesha nakshatra, provoking the mind and supporting awakening from illusion. Get clear on what is working and what is not working. Clarify your priorities. The tight conjunction of Jupiter, Mercury and Venus continues. Clarify and create, expand and awaken. Let relationships and money be resources for your process of awareness. What mental/emotional body blockages are keeping you locked into old patterns? Join me for a *free* 14 day Emotional Body Challenge! I'll be sharing special resources for creating a deeper relationship with your emotions and inner landscape. Get the Details Tuesday, August 30th Moon in 14th tithi Chaturdasi Moon continues through Sarpa's domain, sparking mental body activity and deep inquiry. Snake energy is enlivened today, producing transformational and transcendental opportunities. Occult and mystical powers are enlivened as the Moon moves through this intense nakshatra. Late night, Moon shifts into the Sun's sign, Leo, landing in Magha nakshatra. Moon joins Sun and Rahu here. All receive gaze from the grief inducing Saturn and the spiritual change maker, Ketu. Mercury and Jupiter are still in the one degree range, however Venus has jumped forward a few degrees now. There is a battle between deva (god) and asura (demon) energies happening- and the mind is stuck in the middle of it. Today may prove to be a challenging day for the mental body on multiple accounts. Stay close to your body and breath. As Mercury goes retrograde today, honor the fact that the Mind is lurching into change and transformation and will begin to retrace its steps in the coming weeks. This may be helpful or difficult- or both. Mercury will go retrograde in its sign of exaltation on August 30th. Mercury will be exalted in Virgo (not in its mulitrikona degrees) during this retrograde. An exalted retrograde planet becomes debilitated, impacting the expression of the planet and turning it inward, rather than outward. For over a week, the mental body will be on a unique, inward journey. On September 9th, Mercury will re-enter Leo, joining Sun and Rahu here. This will bring the mind more clarity and external focus, while supporting a unique and innovative process. Read more about Mercury retrograde Wednesday, August 31st Moon in 15th tithi Amavasya Moon moves through Leo and Magha nakshatra today, stirring the inner lion and grande power. Pitr rules this constellation, bringing forth karma with father and the father's lineage, as well as the masculine. The ancestors will be supporting your power and purpose today. Can you feel a connection to them? Stay out of ego and grandiose arrogance. Instead, connect to heart and lineage in order to stay grounded in your truth. Moon is nearing its exact conjunction with the Sun, bringing an emptiness, release and letting go with it. With all the elements of father that have been stirred and provoked in the past few months as multiple planets have moved through Leo, today marks a poignant day of closure. What have you been healing with father wounds? What is your intention moving forward? How can you honor this need with an action step? Saturn and Mars continue to separate in Scorpio, supporting action and momentum. Mercury moves into exact conjunction with Jupiter as he retrogrades back through Virgo. Remember that an exalted planet that is retrograde, becomes debilitated- the energy moves inward rather than outwards. Debilitated Venus in Virgo continues to move away from both planets, however the mind is still being influenced by this challenging combination of spiritual vs. worldly. Relationships, money, comforts and food are vulnerable. Join me for a *free* 14 Day Emotional Body Challenge! I'll be sharing resources, tools and extra guidance to navigate these choppy cosmic tides in the coming weeks. Get the Details Thursday, September 1st Moon in 15th and 1st tithi Amavasya to Pratipad Moon shifts into Purvaphalguni nakshatra just before Thursday begins, moving into the domain of Bhaga, the resource and pleasure provider. At 03:03, the new Moon officially arrives, bringing an emptiness and release with it. The new Moon is in sidereal Leo and Purvaphalguni nakshatra, coinciding with the annual solar eclipse. This particular eclipse will not be visible in North America, but will touch Southern Asia, Western Australia, Much of Africa, Atlantic, Indian Ocean, Antarctica. The eclipse will begin at 00:13 MDT on the 1st and continue until 06:00, with the maximum eclipse occurring at 03:01 am MDT. Eclipses are a time to meditate and do spiritual practices. From a Vedic perspective, it is not advised to be outside during an eclipse, nor start new projects during the eclipse portal (the two week gap between solar and lunar eclipses). It is an inward, lunar day. Plant seeds and attend to your creativity in gentle, intentional ways. Bhaga supports the senses- sensuality, creativity, feelings, resources and that which brings pleasure and passion. What stirs your being and excites your spirit? Do that! Read more about this new Moon and the upcoming September Eclipse Portal Friday, September 2nd Moon in 2nd tithi Dvitiya As Friday begins, Moon shifts into the latter half of the Phalguni constellation, Uttaraphalguni. Moon is on the other side of Rahu now and moving towards Virgo. It is still a tender, small, gentle emotional body experience. One that requires attention and intention. Power is the theme right now. Are you in right relationship with your power? Uttaraphalguni is ruled by Aryaman, an Aditya who brings sustenance and good health, strength in the body and physical stamina. He also connects you to the ancestors and requests that you honor your lineage with activities and choices that sustain and nourish. Sun is the ruling planet of this lunar constellation and since the solar eclipse has now opened the eclipse portal, it is important to honor the themes now enlivened. Power, the masculine, and relationships, all require your focus. What resources do you need to awaken and digest? Jupiter and debilitated (retrograde) Mercury continue to move through exact conjunction, with Venus only five degrees away. The mind is sandwiched in between Jupiter (purity) and Venus (impurity). Expect mental confusion with relationships, finances and health in connection to spiritual matters, wisdom and awareness. As Moon shifts into Virgo mid morning, these themes are illuminated and intensify. Stay in the body as much as possible. The mind and emotions will be amplified and may feel overwhelming. Find your grounding cord within. Saturday, September 3rd Moon in 3rd tithi Tritiya Just as Saturday arrives, Moon moves to Hasta nakshatra and Savitr arrives to illuminate and brighten. He brings the light- awareness through knowing, seeing and experiencing truth. Moon continues to mirror the challenges happening in Virgo currently. Today, Moon moves closer to Venus, who is not fond of the Moon. This combination is provocative for the current themes instigated by the transits and eclipse portal. Relationships, creativity, health, resources, pleasure, finances and passion are stirred. Can you find the root of the conflict within? What is working and what resources are you gathering? What challenges are present and how are they emerging? Remember that the nature of Virgo is to analyze, purify and cleanse. It wants to be healed, but not without attending to details. This is a powerful time to look very closely at your inner terrain and seek healing. Join me for a *free* 14 Day Emotional Body Challenge! I'll be sharing resources, tools and extra guidance to navigate these choppy cosmic tides in the coming weeks. Get the Details Sunday, September 4th Moon in 4th tithi Chaturthi On Sunday morning, Moon begins to separate from the cluster of planets transiting Virgo. She shifts into Chitra mid morning, bringing resources and activation from Vishvakarma. Moon is slowly gaining some visibility as it enters the 4th tithi of its waxing phase, offering a more active awareness to your emotional body. Chitra translates as "to be painted" which shows the action oriented nature of this constellation as well as the high creativity. This constellation is a place of highly skilled artisans who bring forth visions into manifest form. Today, let your imagination move you into creative play. Make something, move something and create! Sun and Rahu are in exact conjunction today. The tension with ego, sense of self worth and one's abilities to activate and be empowered are being tested right now. Move towards gratitude. Lighten the heart. Early evening, Moon shifts to Libra, stirring the need for balance, integration and harmony. Ketu gives his gaze, which will require that you release and let go in the coming days. Where are you resisting this release? As Moon moves through the 4th tithi (Chaturthi) beginning at 07:25 MDT, the celebrated birthday of Ganesha begins. Ganesha Chaturthi continues until 09:39 MDT on the 5th. Ganesha is the remover of obstacles and brings moksha, release and awakening on one's path. He supports your ability to see more clearly, to have ease and self realization. He especially loves sweets, though Gulab Jamun is said to be his favorite. Today, honor Ganesha at your altar and honor him for bringing you ease and grace on your path. {Space Clearing the Heart} Discover how to transform your emotional body in a creative and embodied way. Early Bird Pricing Ends September 5th. Get the Details Monday, September 5th Moon in 5th tithi Panchami Late Monday morning, moon shifts into Swati nakshatra, Vayu's territory. Movement will be maximized- whether small or large, gentle or harsh. The nature of Vayu is air, cooling things off softly and also brutally. As Moon moves through Libra at the start of the week, the need for balance, integration and connection increases. Ketu's gaze upon the Moon brings sudden changes, shifts and awakenings. Emotions may be sparked suddenly, but will release just as quickly. There is a link between Vayu and Rudra- which indicates great strength is available here. Vayu is also breath, the breath of life, life force energy. He can bring balance or imbalance, but Prana (your inner winds) will restore and bring health and vitality. If you can get your inner winds in balance, then everything else falls into place. Use pranayama, physical movement and breath awareness into your day. Sun is still in very close proximity to Rahu and will continue to move past him in the coming days. Issues with ego, sense of self worth and inner resiliency are amplified. As Sun moves to the other side of Rahu, towards the edge of Leo, a unique planetary yoga occurs. All planets will be scissored in between Rahu and Ketu until late December (once Mars moves to the other side of Ketu). This yoga is called Kala Sarpa (The Serpent of Time) and will intensify each month as Moon enters Leo and moves through Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn and through Aquarius. Moon mirrors and magnifies, so issues provoked by these signs and the planets in these signs, will be amplified as a result. Kala Sarpa Yoga's effects intensify the planetary combinations at play as all planets are essentially "hemmed in" by the malefic shadow nodes, Rahu and Ketu.

Get the Details This Week's Intention: Use your grief as a resource for awakening. Honor your emotional body wisdom fully and allow it to teach you about your deepest needs. Ask for extra support and find simple steadiness within. It's a waning Moon week, which means that your emotional body tides are softening and becoming more vulnerable. The light is diminishing and your focus is turning inward. Venus will move to its sign of debilitation this week, joining Mercury and Jupiter in Virgo. Creativity, life force energy and money are vulnerable this month and require your extra attention. Mars and Saturn will be in exact degrees the first half of the week, causing intense conflict and challenge to surface. Understand that this is an extreme purification cycle, wringing out grief from your emotional body, calling you to simplify every level of your life. Be gentle, go slow and attend to your emotional body wisdom very intentionally. Late in the week, a tight conjunction of Jupiter, Mercury and Venus occurs in Virgo. This will impact finances and relationships directly. Read more about these challenging transits and the impact of the eclipse portal Monday, August 22nd Moon in 5th tithi Panchami As Monday begins, Moon finishes its transit through Revati and Pisces. Mid morning, Moon leaps from water into fire, jump starting beginnings and openings. As Moon arrives in Aries and Ashwini nakshatra a fresh start awakens. Ashwini is ruled by Ketu, who cuts attachments and provokes release. Open yourself up to the new by letting go of the past. Allow yourself to step into a fresh start and say yes to a new cycle. What are you opening to? What are you closing to? As Moon wanes this week, the energy shifts inward. Reach inward and gather the wisdom of the past cycle so you can use it for the weeks to come. Mars and Saturn in a tight exact conjunction right now. This brings challenges with the physical and emotional bodies. Actions will be slowed no matter how hard you try. Do not force outcomes. Tuesday, August 23rd Moon in 6th to 7th tithi Sashti to Saptami Early morning, Moon shifts to Bharani nakshatra- a constellation ruled by Venus and Yama. Restraint will be necessary today. Extravagance will not be supported. Simplicity rules the day with all things Venus- money, relationships, comforts, food, sweets and intoxicants. Don't overindulge. Mars and Saturn are in exact degrees today. Saturn, the renunciate, is infamous for simplicity and lack of frivolousness. He wants your serious commitment and scheduled timeliness. Mars is fighting his needs mercilessly, causing tension between polarities- young and old, fast and slow, ancient and new, life and death, masculine and feminine. How can you integrate polarities more consciously? How can each of your parts support the other? Let your light and dark find more balance. Wednesday, August 24th Moon in 7th and 8th tithi Saptami and Ashtami Just as Wednesday begins, Moon shifts to the final nakshatra of Aries, Krittika. Late morning, Moon arrives in Taurus and her degrees of exaltation. Emotional waves are high! Agni rules this portion of the sky, bringing deep purification and transformation with him as a result. As the sacred fire god, he supports the alchemical change process and supports the transition of all levels of life. He awakens, brings life and increases clarity and exactness. Sun is associated with Agni- currently transiting his own sign, Leo. Power and purpose come to the forefront today. What changes do you need to make in order to step into your power more fully? Mars and Saturn will be forcing you to look at this in an integrated, balanced way. There are no short cuts. Just your willingness to honor your inner and outer realms equally. Let your emotional body be a resource for your alchemy and change process. Thursday, August 25th Moon in 8th to 9th tithi Ashtami to Navami Moon moves through Taurus and enters Rohini nakshatra just as Thursday begins. Now in its mulitrikona degrees, the Moon's potency is less, but also more manageable. The emotional body becomes a potent creative resource today. Your feelings create your life and help you manifest. You don't create your life from the thinking body, but from the feeling body. Do you feel safe to expand and activate your power and purpose? It's time to clean up your subconscious territory and awaken more possibility in your life. What is holding you back? Mars has shifted to the other side of Saturn, yet is still in almost exact conjunction. In the coming days, this battle will begin to come to a close after many months of challenges and disruptions. Have you extracted the theme and digested the meaning of this intense time period? Just as the 25th arrives, Venus leaps into Virgo, joining exalted Mercury and Jupiter here. This cycle of Venus provokes a lopsided energy of big, strong creativity, mixed with vulnerability and sensitivity simultaneously. The challenge will be to honor both and integrate the conflict of big and small, expansive and quiet. At the time when Venus moves into Virgo, Moon is also in its mulitrikona sign, Taurus, with Rohini on the ascendant. This increases the huge waves of creative energy during this cycle and builds momentum. Read more about Venus in Virgo Friday, August 26th Moon in 9th to 10th tithi Navami to Dashami Just as Friday arrives, Moon shifts to Mrigashirsha nakshatra, inviting in the emotional body, soma and immense creativity. There is much procreative power here, which can be channeled into all sorts of creative acts. Highly fickle in nature, the Moon brings constant change on the mental and emotional body levels. Mars, however, rules this nakshatra, expressing the intense drive to create. How will you use this power? What acts of creativity and expression will receive your action steps? Moon moves to Gemini mid day, increasing the level of mental body activity. Mars gives his gaze to the Moon, provoking frustration and tension. Movement is awake and enlivened, but stay in right-relationship with the mind and body today or you will be diminishing your life force energy. Mars is finally beginning to separate from Saturn and is two degrees away from him now. Some ease will be felt with action steps and momentum, but going slow and honoring simplicity are still essential. Mercury, Jupiter and Venus move into a tight triple conjunction in Virgo as of today. This will continue until early next week at which point Venus moves out of the conjunction, but Mercury and Jupiter continue to track each other closely. Watch your finances, pay close attention to relationships, gather resources and support for your process. Saturday, August 27th Moon in 10th to 11 tithi Dashami to Ekadashi Moon shifts to Ardra nakshatra as Saturday begins. Rudra rules this powerful constellation. There are three levels of the storm god activated today. Through nakshatra, tithi and transit. As Moon shifts into the 11th tithi midday, Rudra is strengthened. Saturn also gives his gaze to Rahu in Leo via transit, which energetically stirs Rudra as well. As the storm god, you can expect powerful release to take place on the emotional body level thanks to Rudra's power. This may also be reflected in Nature as rain, thunderstorms and natural disasters. Creativity and relationship are also impacted. Stay close to your body today. Channel strong emotions in healthy and effective outlets. Use your resources- like art, nature, movement, creativity, connection. Before Saturday ends, Moon shifts to Punarvasu nakshatra and a softening effect arrives. Feel the relief. Sunday, August 28th Moon in 12th tithi Dvadashi Moon continues through Punarvasu and Gemini today, offering the wisdom and support of Aditi. As the Mother of All Goodness, she showers you with resources and assistance. She birthed 33 Devas- 12 Adityas, 11 Rudras and 8 Vasus, as well as Indra and Prajapati. She brings unity consciousness and the awareness of inter-connectedness. Allow yourself to receive today. Where are you resisting the nourishment and support you so desperately crave? Early evening, Moon shifts to its own sign, Cancer. Outside of the gaze of other planets, there may finally be a sense of softening, release and relief. With Mars and Saturn now over two degrees a part, the conflict is shifting to integration and peace talks. Where are these polarities still provoking you? You might be able to see more clearly now that the heat and pressure are starting to ease. Nourish and nurture yourself today. Monday, August 29th Moon in 13th tithi Trayodasi Monday begins with Moon moving into Pushya nakshatra, the nourishing star and Brihaspati's domain. As a personification of Jupiter, Brihaspati brings learning, knowledge and wisdom as well as support. How do you accept the support he is offering you? Are you able to receive and acknowledge what is arriving? Let gratitude be a balm for your heart and count your blessings. Saturn rules this nakshatra, requesting stability and steadiness. Go slow and continue to honor the needs he is presenting in your physical and emotional bodies. Stay connected to the wisdom of your body; get embodied. Use the breath as a resource for integration. You are still finding balance within polarities- light and dark, life and death, fast and slow, young and old, masculine and feminine. Use this time to honor all that you are. Lead with the heart as it is the ultimate point of integration and balance. Late evening Moon shifts to Ashlesha nakshatra, provoking the mind and supporting awakening from illusion. Get clear on what is working and what is not working. Clarify your priorities. The tight conjunction of Jupiter, Mercury and Venus continues. Clarify and create, expand and awaken. Let relationships and money be resources for your process of awareness. What mental/emotional body blockages are keeping you locked into old patterns?

Go get it. It's a full Moon week. The emotional body is filling and tides increase. How are you honoring your feelings and inner waters? An "almost" eclipse occurs with the full Moon this week, kicking off an unusual eclipse portal that will last until September 16th. The emotional body will be especially delicate and your shadow work will require extra attention and focus in the coming weeks. This week there are two transits worthy of mention. Your solar energy and masculine self, Sun, shifts to its own sign, Leo- increasing power and inner strength. Mercury moves to its exaltation sign, Virgo, bringing potent communication to the surface. Enjoy several days of high energy and powerful inner expansion.
Monday, August 15th Moon in 13th tithi Trayodasi The first half of the day continues to awaken the wisdom of Apas and PurvaAshada. Break open, break free! Let your inner waters cleanse you. Allow them to move through you and move you. Dance with your emotional body and let it be a resource for touching your inner wisdom. Mid day, Moon shifts to Uttarashada, enlivening the Vishvadevas. These are the Laws of Nature- the rulers of life and order. They require integrity and purpose, truth and righteousness. Ruling planet is Sun, now at the edge of Cancer. Shine as brightly as you can from your heart wisdom. Align and honor the light in your lungs. Be truthful to yourself and your path. Stay true to your purpose. Early evening, Moon moves to Capricorn. Jupiter, Sun and Saturn give their drishti, requesting more balance, stability and support for the emotional body. Clarify your needs for grounding. Tuesday, August 16th Moon in 14th tithi Chaturdashi UttaraAshada continues for the first half of the day as Moon moves through Capricorn. Sun, Jupiter and Saturn's gaze request stability and balance. Jupiter moves into the one degree range today, providing more support from his knowledge and wisdom. More strength is coming. Mid morning, Moon moves to the sacred portal of Abhijit nakshatra, offering mystic and spiritual resources to be enlivened. This gap is open until 14:50. Find ways to honor the sacred. Pause and check. Resource from your spiritual body. As Moon shifts into Sravana, nakshatra, Vishnu is enlivened. He brings dharma through listening, hearing and akashic transmission. Listen closely today for resources that enliven your inner knowing. Step towards your dharma, your truth, your heart wisdom. Venus and Rahu are in exact conjunction today. Be careful with excess and extreme. Honor the feminine in a balanced way as much as possible. Be careful driving, with finances and relationships. Today, Sun shifts to its own sign, Leo, joining a full house of planets. Venus, Rahu and Mercury are still transiting this fire sign that exudes masculinity and power. Sun is our inner and outer light source. It brings strength, ego, empowerment and a connection to the father with it. Just as Sun moves into its favorite sign, Leo will be on the horizon. This cycle brings an intense relationship with masculine power to the forefront. Your father’s lineage will play a major role in this process in the coming month. What parts of your father are helping you step into your masculinity and power more fully? What parts of your relationship with him and your relationship with his power are effecting your ability for self express? Read more about Sun in Leo Wednesday, August 17th Moon in 15th tithi Purnima Moon moves to the final phase of its waxing cycle today, Purnima. Sravana and Vishnu's dharmic support continue until midday. Take action towards dharmic pursuits and ask for Vishnu's support with the process. As Moon shifts into Dhanishta, the Vasu Devas bring their bright and brilliant light and a desire to be seen and noticed. The Vasu's bring wealth and abundance on the material plane of existence. Announce yourself to the world, declare yourself. Let your self be seen for your gifts! Put action behind your dharma. Sing, make music and create today. Let your creative spirit play. Both Jupiter and Sun move past the one degree range today, bringing more strength and support with them- especially through the masculine. Thursday, August 18th Moon in 1st tithi Pratipad Just as Thursday arrives, Moon moves to Aquarius, joining Ketu and receiving gaze from multiple planets. Opposite Aquarius is Leo, currently full of energy with four planets transiting it. Sun, Rahu, Venus and Mercury all give their gaze to Moon, as does Mars from Scorpio. The Moon will be feeling the pressure and impact of all this energy. There is an awakening available in the coming days. How will you use the light as you are cracked open? Around noon, Moon shifts to Satabisha nakshatra and Varuna enlivens. As the guardian of Natural Law, he takes his job seriously. When you obey his desire for order, balance and honoring the wisdom of Nature's cycles and rhythms, then he will bless you with healing and good health. Stay balanced and harmonize with your inner wisdom today as a means of prevention. Full Moon is in the early hours of Thursday morning at 03:27 while moving through Aquarius and Dhanishta nakshatra. An almost lunar eclipse occurs at 03:42, sparking an unusual eclipse portal that will last until the end of September. Sun, Earth, and Moon will be very closely aligned on this day, but there will technically be no lunar eclipse. There are several different ways to calculate eclipses, so some sources are listing this event as a penumbral lunar eclipse, however it is not considered an actual eclipse. In any case, viewers on Earth will not be able to see the Earth's shadow on the Moon. This is an important time of awakening for you and for the planet. It is an opportunity to return to a more balanced and integrated relationship with power and purpose. Read more about the full Moon and eclipse portal Friday, August 19th Moon in 2nd tithi Dvitiya Moon continues through Satabisha until late morning, inviting you to honor the need for balance, integration and wholeness this morning. Ruling deity, Varuna, upholds Nature's wisdom and requests you do the same. He is a raja rastra, King of the Kings, and his purpose is to keep things in their natural order. When you go against his desires for order, you will feel the consequences- usually on the level of health. Stay true to your physical body needs today and honor its wisdom for balance. As Moon shifts into Purvabhadrapada, balance becomes more important. Ajaikapada rules this portion of the sky. He is a form of Nataraja, Lord of the Dance, or Shiva. He loves ritual, movement and provides strength as he is a Rudra. He also provides abundance. As one of Vishvakarma's son's, he preserved all the gold in the world. Stay balanced both spiritually and materially today. Honor both realms and integrate your human and spiritual needs. Mercury moves to its favorite sign today. There will be a moment of strength with mind and body. With Sun and Mercury feeling strong and stable, tasks can be accomplished more directly and progress can be made in a more empowered way. This stability lasts for under a week- before Venus arrives in Virgo. Venus is considered debilitated in Virgo, which will cause challenges and lack to rise to your conscious awareness. Read more about Mercury in Virgo Saturday, August 20th Moon in 3rd tithi Tritiya Early morning Moon enters Pisces, the final sign of the zodiac. Endings and release are activated. Mercury and Jupiter offer their gaze from Virgo. Knowledge and mental body come into focus. Expand your mind. Moon moves to the latter half of the Bhadra constellation, Uttarabhadrapada, late morning. As Moon moves into Ahirbudhinya's domain, serpent energy is enlivened. One of Vishvakarma's son's, Ahirbudhnya is also a Rudra, removing calamity and misfortune and can bring resources and nourishment. Dive deep today. Excavate beneath the surface of the mind into your subconscious territory. What are you releasing and letting go of as this new cycle arrives? Sunday, August 21st Moon in 4th tithi Chaturthi Mid morning, moon arrives in the final nakshatra of the zodiac, Revati. Pushan rules this domain of the sky and brings nourishment and support through resources- especially on journey's and travels through the material realms. As a remover of obstacles, Pushan sends you on your way feeling supported and nurtured with good luck on your side. Expect a lift today in the mental body today and use this wisdom to imagine a bigger, bolder life. Seek clarity and purpose and gather the resources to get what you need. Monday, August 22nd Moon in 5th tithi Panchami As Monday begins, Moon finishes its transit through Revati and Pisces. Mid morning, Moon leaps from water into fire, jump starting beginnings and openings. As Moon arrives in Aries and Ashwini nakshatra a fresh start awakens. Ashwini is ruled by Ketu, who cuts attachments and provokes release. Open yourself up to the new by letting go of the past. Allow yourself to step into a fresh start and say yes to a new cycle. What are you opening to? What are you closing to? As Moon wanes this week, the energy shifts inward. Reach inward and gather the wisdom of the past cycle so you can use it for the weeks to come. All timing is in Mountain Daylight Time. To determine the current nakshatra for your time zone, add or subtract time based on your distance to Mountain Time. Wondering how this coming year-long transit of Jupiter will impact you? Already feeling the effects? Get details, resources, guidance and support for the months to come. Book a session with me |
