This Week's Intention: Your depth, pain and healing path invite you to take a closer look. There's no room for disassociation or disconnection anymore. Invite in all your experiences- light and dark- as resources for your awakening and transforming. Moon continues to wax this week, allowing the emotional body to fill and activate more potently. This is a powerful week of big transition and shifts. The war between Jupiter and Rahu comes to completion for now. The battle between light and dark forces finds some closure. Hopefully you have done the necessary clean up during this past cycle with father, masculine and relationships, so you can find resolution in the months to come. Jupiter shifts to Virgo for an entire year, bringing expansion and wisdom to sixth house matters. Saturn finally goes direct, offering forward momentum with shadow work and inner transformation. Mercury and Rahu are in tight conjunction the first half of the week as they both move through Leo and Purvaphalguni nakshatra. Fertility, creativity and life force are activated on the mental body level. Is this conscious or unconscious terrain for you? Now is an ideal time to check in with me for some personal guidance. How will the coming year impact you? What gifts and challenges will Jupiter bring? Schedule a session with me now Monday, August 8th Moon in 6th tithi Sashti The week begins with Moon moving through the last pada of Virgo, moving through Chitra nakshatra. This is Vishvakarma's domain, the chief of the celestial architects. He builds, plans and structures the cosmos. As his name offers, he is connected to action, including karma yoga- powerful deeds that provide seva. He also supports thousands of arts and brings powerful action steps with him. Moon moves to Libra mid day, receiving gaze from Ketu. Anger and rage may be provoked. How can you channel this energy into more potent actions and choices. Remember that underneath the anger is your power. Touch your raw power and use it mindfully. Just before midnight, Moon moves to Swati nakshatra and the wind god, Vayu, is activated. Stay grounded. Tuesday, August 9th Moon in 7th tithi Saptami Moon moves through Swati nakshatra today, inviting in the wind and movement of Vayu. Your inner prana is shifting, moving and transforming. Are you moving with or against these currents? Vayu is one of the eight Vasu Devas, he brings illumination, dharma and strength as he is connected to Rudra as well. Vayu however represents the wind as he is air itself, whereas Rudra energy is the chaos of the storm itself. The strength of Rudra's energy however comes from the wind, Vayu. How do you use this inner strength, this power? Use it intentionally to move your forward. Misuse it and your energy will be scattered. Harness your inner winds and direct the currents for maximum gain. Wednesday, August 10th Moon in 8th tithi Ashtami Just as the day begins, Moon shifts to Vishaka nakshatra and duality is enlivened through Indragni. Vishaka provokes co-creation and inter-dependency as Indra is the king, while Agni is the priest. Both rely on each other for power and support. This combination is powerful and mighty, but requires self-less service. Who and what can you align with today for more power and potency? What is the underlying intention for this union? Just before midnight, Moon shifts to its debilitation sign, Scorpio, joining the challenging relationship of Mars and Saturn. Tend to your emotional body. Thursday, August 11th Moon in 9th tithi Navami As Moon moves through its sign of debilitation, Scorpio, today, a deeper inward gaze is offered. Moon joins Mars and Saturn in this sign of depth and darkness. Stops and starts, fast and slow, old and new are awakened and the Moon mirrors all of these feelings through exact conjunction with Mars and Saturn today. You'll feel the depth, challenges and confrontation of polarities in the coming days as Moon continues through Scorpio. What integration of opposites do you need for greater inner harmony? Get in the body! Unite and integrate opposing forces with conscious intention. As Moon shifts to Anuradha nakshatra mid morning, the constellation of Mitra awakens. Friends bring their power and support. Connect with who and what nourishes you and offers their helpful guidance. You are rising up from the thick mud like a lotus blossom. Gather all the resources you need in order to unfold your petals. The year long transit of Jupiter in Virgo officially begins today at 07:56 MDT. Jupiter transits are one year long and impact all levels of wisdom, knowledge, comfort and support. He leads you to your dharmic path and supports the nourishment gained along the way. Positive effects of Jupiter, or Guru in Sanskrit, bring comfort, support and understanding. He brings learning through understanding, awareness and expansion of consciousness. He is the ultimate teacher- for better or worse- providing some of the most poignant life lessons. Challenges with Jupiter include lack of support, knowledge, and dharma. Everyone can benefit from the helpful and supportive resources that Jupiter provides. Without his support, challenges and struggles increase- which often bring tragedy, trauma and chaos.

Schedule a session with me now I still have some August sessions available. However, my sessions tend to book quickly so please connect with me immediately to insure an August appointment. Friday, August 12th Moon in 10th tithi Dashami Moon continues to feel the heat and pressure today, but a bit of lightness arrives as Moon moves out of tight conjunction with Mars and Saturn. Late morning, Moon moves to Jyeshtha nakshatra, stirring Indra and his strength and purpose. He is the king of the gods and rules the rain- either opening or closing the sky gates. He has a strong sense of dharma and purpose. He leads by example and invites a strong mental body as Mercury rules this constellation. There is strong sensitivity combined with his pwer and strength- especially with regard to the senses. Don't overstimulate today. Less is more. Honor the subtle energies and find time to meditate. Saturday, August 13th Moon in 11th tithi Ekadashi Saturn has been retrograde in Scorpio for many months in an on-again off-again dance with Mars. On August 13th in the early morning, Saturn goes direct, causing depth and transformation to start moving in a forward motion. His retrograde motion has increased the inner awareness of many, causing challenges as he stirs the emotional body. As Saturn moves into direct motion, there will be an adjustment period. Honor the need for slow, steady steps right now. Pressures with eighth house matters will begin to move forward now- including debt, death, transformation, transcendence and shadow work. Stay in your body and enliven the physical channels for integration on all levels of your being. Late morning, Moon moves to Sagittarius and Mula nakshatra. The goddess of adharma, Nirrti, is provoked, bringing her calamity and misfortune to the surface. As she provokes chaos and disconnection, she also brings an opportunity for finding your grounding cord and right relationship with your turmoil. It's more important than ever to stay in your body. This is your connection to source, to presence, to your life force. Be here now. Sunday, August 14th Moon in 12th tithi Dvadashi The first half of the day continues to be ruled by Mula and Nirrti. Stay grounded. Watch for calamity and chaos. Are you getting sucked in, or can you stay in the calm of the storm? Nirrti tears things apart and disconnects. She loves destruction. Your job is to put the pieces back together and find your center. Mid day, Moon shifts into the domain of the water goddess, Apas. The power of jala (water) can destroy or harmonize, deconstruct or rejuvenate. Just as water does, Apas flows, moves and cleanses. Water relates to the emotional body, the waters within. Allow your inner waters to flow today- let them move you into more clarity and awakening. Spend time in water and near water today in order to purify from the inside out. 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. * 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.

* Fireweed, the wildflower of transformation and healing. Photo taken last weekend on my Indian Peaks hike. This Week's Intention: Your inner tides are vulnerable and potent. How can you attend to your emotional body with greater presence? Land and ground in your body wisdom- in order to keep you close to shore. Use your feelings for creative activation. It is a new Moon week! A Cancer new Moon is on the rise, promising awakening and detoxification through the wisdom and magic of Ashlesha nakshatra. Venus has just stepped into its enemy's sign, Leo. This transit will bring masculine and feminine dynamics to an intense climax- both personally and globally. This magnification occurs as Jupiter prepares to leave Leo after a yearlong transit here. The lessons of the past cycle are magnifying, culminating in a stronger, more intense awareness. Relationships are the core focus at this time, instigating a deep desire to change, transform and heal the battles within your polarities. Masculine and feminine forces are ripe and asking for integration and co-creation. Read more about Venus in Leo Monday, August 1st Moon in 14th tithi Chaturdashi Late Monday morning, Moon shifts to its own sign, Cancer, joining Sun here. Moon loves its own watery, heart centered sign. It loves the fluid nature of Cancer and the orientation towards home and heart. It needs the structure and landing force of home and heart in order to feel safe and secure. From this place, love can flow. As Moon continues through Punarvasu nakshatra, Aditi brings her resources, wisdom and awareness. She supports and nourishes through her knowledge, offering support and abundance to those who worship her. As the Mother of All Goodness, she brings freedom and release from struggle and strife. Notice how her support and wisdom arrives today. Do you say yes to it or no? How open are you to receiving? Late afternoon, Moon shifts to Pushya nakshatra and the nourishing star brings heart expansion and contraction. There is an opening and a closing happening simultaneously. Inhale and exhale. They are interdependent on each other. What are you opening to? What are you closing to? Tuesday, August 2nd Moon in 15th to 1st tithi Amavasya to Pratipad Moon transits Pushya nakshatra, the "nourishing star" the first part of the day. As Moon moves through its own sign of Cancer, comfort and support for the emotional body are felt. Pushya makes these themes stronger and more tangible. Moon moves into exact conjunction with Sun today as the New Moon takes place, however both planets are outside the influence of the other planets which bolsters some extra support. Jupiter is considered exalted in Cancer and he is currently feeling the pangs of Rahu and Leo still. Masculine and feminine integration is essential right now. Seek alignment and balance. Let your breath be a grounding resource for this. Themes of nourishment, home and heart continue through the first part of August, sparked by this month's new Moon. The August New Moon arrives August 2nd at 14:45 MDT, while transiting its own sign Cancer and Ashlesha nakshatra. The focus on Cancer invites an emotional, heart centered focus for the coming waxing cycle. Energy moves in the direction of feelings, heart, home, comfort and grounding. Libra is on the ascendant at the time of the New Moon, asking for balance- inner and outer, with self and others. Relationships become a focus for this cycle, while gains come from the heart and home. There's a need to be in co-creation, building teams, support systems and alliances. Invite in more support and security. Increase your connections and reach out. Seek community and resources that enliven your grounding cord. Find integration with your nourishment and support. Ask for what you need and be very clear with your self expression. If you aren't getting your needs met, you must first clarify your needs and then learn how to express them more effectively. Gather what you need for more resiliency and power. Read more about the new Moon in Cancer Wednesday, August 3rd Moon in 1st to 2nd tithi Pratipad to Dvitiya Moon continues through Ashlesha nakshatra and Cancer the first part of the day. Sarpa energy continues, begging for detoxification and transformation. Sarpas are small snakes notorious for their deception, black magic and transcendental qualities. Where are the illusions keeping you from doing your inner work? How are your shadows keeping you playing small? Ashlesha brings the illusion of over confidence. If you think you're making progress, be sure that it's rooted in depth, lineage, honesty and right intention. Early afternoon, Moon leaps into Leo, the sign most active currently with four planets moving through this fire sign. Moon magnifies the impact of these planets in Leo, bringing the experience directly into our emotional body. As Moon moves through Magha nakshatra today, a strong solar energy is enlivened which begs you to look at authority issues and ancestral karma- especially connected to your father. The delicate dance between masculine and feminine is being challenged right now. Where do you feel integration and balance in your body? Ground in this inner knowing and keep landing here. Thursday, August 4th Moon in 2nd and 3rd tithi Dvitiya to Tritiya Moon is waxing now and continues to move through Sun's sign, Leo today. Saturn gives his gaze to the Moon with this transit, as well as Venus, Mercury, Jupiter and Rahu. Tension, pressure, grief and sadness are activated. Where do you feel this impacting your life and relationships? Moon continues through Magha nakshatra the first half of the day, begging you to honor the masculine, father and authority. Are you in right relationship with these parts of yourself? Where is the inner authority figure causing you to be imbalanced? Anger is a sure sign you are misaligned with your power. It means boundaries are being ignored. Check in with yourself. Where are you saying yes when you should be saying no? As Moon shifts into Purvaphalguni nakshatra late afternoon, Venus energy is enlivened. Get creative! Channel your immense creative intelligence into worthwhile activities. What are you passionate about? This is worthy of your energy and attention. Honor your grief and challenges directly by channeling emotion into your creative activities. Don't cut and paste over them! Friday, August 5th Moon in 3rd tithi Tritiya Moon continues through Purvaphalguni nakshatra the majority of the day, inviting in support from Bhaga, an Aditya that brings support through worldly resources. He is connected to pleasure, creativity, sexuality, sensuality and enjoyment. Ruling planet, Venus, brings life force energy to the forefront as well as a need for masculine and feminine energies. How can you put your creativity to good use today? Early evening, Moon moves to the latter half of the Phalguni constellation and Sun is activated. As an Aditya, Aryaman also brings his resources as well. His resources come through stability and long term support, that which sustains. He supports commitment and unions as a way to appease the ancestors. What choices and actions can you make to support sustainable outcomes today? Just before midnight Moon moves to Virgo, bringing precision and refinement. Saturday, August 6th Moon in 4th tithi Chaturthi Aryaman continues to support sustainable actions and choices today, bringing resources from commitment. Move towards stability and support. What do you need to do for creating more stability in your life? Early evening, Moon shifts into Hasta nakshatra and Savitr brings his light and illumination. Wake up! Look within and gather the inner resources you need to get your deepest needs and desires met. Where are you stuck, resistant and in avoidance? Ask for support and commit to awakening, healing and clarifying your path. Recite Gayatri Mantra for extra support. Sunday, August 7th Moon in 5th tithi Panchami Moon continues through Savitr's domain today, bringing light, resources and inner wisdom to the surface. Savitr is a form of the Sun, but comes in the form of the delicate morning light rays. He appears when night and day meet, which is a very sacred time of day with great potency. The hands are enlivened today. Put them to work. This nakshatra support the intelligence and awareness that is provoked through hand and eye coordination. Magic occurs when the hands create! As night fall arrives, Moon shifts to Chitra, the domain of the divine architect. Continue to use your creative life force energy to build, move and plan. Monday, August 8th Moon in 6th tithi Sashti The week begins with Moon moving through the last pada of Virgo, moving through Chitra nakshatra. This is Vishvakarma's domain, the chief of the celestial architects. He builds, plans and structures the cosmos. As his name offers, he is connected to action, including karma yoga- powerful deeds that provide seva. He also supports thousands of arts and brings powerful action steps with him. Moon moves to Libra mid day, receiving gaze from Ketu. Anger and rage may be provoked. How can you channel this energy into more potent actions and choices. Remember that underneath the anger is your power. Touch your raw power and use it mindfully. * All timing is in Mountain Daylight Time.

Book a session with me This Week's Intention: Transform, change, heal, grow. Allow the release to be a resource for awakening the new. Create space intentionally by attending to losses and grief. A new cycle begins as this week starts. The waning Moon shifts from Pisces into Aries just as Monday ends, signaling release and beginnings. Let go! Mercury shifts to Leo on Tuesday, bringing fire, power and ego to the mental body. There is agitation at the start of the week, so be attentive to your emotional body and the needs arriving as you navigate new waters. Jupiter is winding down his year long transit through Leo right now. Extract the final resources and wisdom from this powerful time of change and healing. Read more about Jupiter in Leo Monday, July 25th Moon in 6th and 7th tithi Sashti and Saptami Just as Monday arrives, Moon enters the final nakshatra of the zodiac. Endings and release are present, while openings are awakened simultaneously. Be conscious about this release process. What are you letting go of? What are you closing to? As the Moon moves through the last sign and nakshatra of the zodiac, the emotional body will feel the watery release, triggering your inner waters to flow. Find your fluidity, movement and motion. Ease and move towards the release. Notice where you are resisting and refusing your inner waters. Follow the currents. Before midnight, Moon crosses into new territory, ending a passage through all twelve signs. As Moon enters Aries, sudden shifts take place. Begin again. Tuesday, July 26th Moon in 8th tithi Ashtami Moon moves through Aries, getting used to a new dance through the zodiac. Ashwini nakshatra is enlivened today, increasing healing and rejuvenation for the body and emotions. Use the healing arts as a resource for inviting and opening into more space and fluidity. Let the heart awaken your intention for healing and transformation. What do you need to feel more safety and stability within? What needs are arriving? Just before midnight, Moon shifts into the second nakshatra of Aries. Yama rules Bharani nakshatra and requests transformation through restraint. On July 26th at 19:27, Mercury moves to Leo, joining Rahu and Jupiter here. The mind gains strength, power and potency, yet reflects some confusion and uncertainty with these themes at the same time. This cycle provides great learning and growth from relationships. Relationships become a powerful guru, teacher, in the weeks to come- whether it feels supportive or painful. The mind will be oriented to the challenges and resources coming to you. Most will arrive in the form of the “other”. What do you need on a deep, core level- for greater support and stability? Who and what do you need to guide you towards greater power and inner wisdom? Read more about Mercury in Leo Wednesday, July 27th Moon in 9th tithi Navami Moon moves through Bharani nakshatra today. Yama, the king of restraint, calls for restriction and simplification today. Cut the cords that are holding you back. Release and let go of attachments in order to invite in the new. There is a certain death taking place today, offering success in destruction and detachment. Allow the endings to arrive. There will be time for awakening to the new, but for now focus your awareness on attending to the release. Grieve and express your emotional pains. Connect with the power of destruction today. Early evening, Moon moves to Krittika nakshatra and the transformation process intensifies. Burn away the excess and allow the form to change. Deep inner change is possible right now. What are you releasing? How can your personal power be a resource? Thursday, July 28th Moon in 10th tithi Dashami Moon moves through Krittika nakshatra and leaps into its exaltation sign, Taurus, a few hours after the day begins. Mars and retrograde Saturn give their exact gaze to the Moon, instigating big emotions. Both sadness and anger emerge. You're re-visiting old grief. What is this story and what does it have to share with you about your needs? The transformational and purifying qualities of Krittika bring change and transformation. Purge, release, let go. Move from the heart and allow the wisdom of your heart center to invite in more nourishment. As evening arrives, Moon shifts to Rohini nakshatra. Lord Brahma invites creative activation. The space that you cleared today in your heart is a resource for your creativity. What are you inviting in? Friday, July 29th Moon in 11th tithi Ekadashi Moon moves through Rohini nakshatra, Lord Brahma's territory. He brings the creative life force energy into form with the help of his wife Saraswati. Creativity is high today. How are you channeling this inner intelligence? What are you putting into action? It's Friday, which means it's Venus's day. Still moving through Cancer, conjunct Sun, the Venus energy is heart centered and passionate for a few more days. A Cancer new Moon arrives early next week. Attend to your heart and home. Meanwhile, today is watery and wet. Let your inner tides flow and the emotional body release. This is your creative life force energy! Don't let it stagnate. Put your emotion into creative activation. Late evening Moon shifts to Mrigashirsha nakshatra. Keep branching out, extending towards your inner nourishment. Reach in before you reach out. Saturday, July 30th Moon in 12th tithi Dvadasi Mid morning, Moon shifts into Gemini, an airy, changeable and creative sign. Mars and Ketu give their gaze, sparking heat, sudden flashes of insight and emotional outbursts. Mind and emotions will be sensitive in the coming days. Moon travels through Soma's domain, inviting more life force energy to move, flow and stir. Symbolically, this nakshatra is ruled by an antelope's head with branching antlers. There is constant growth and a medicinal quality to this star, as well as a lunar nature. Fickle and changing, Mrigashirsha nakshatra brings change, transformation and creativity. Notice where you are taking steps towards your nourishment. Notice where you are taking steps away from your nourishment. What are you moving towards? What are you moving away from? Late evening Moon shifts into Ardra, the aggressive and emotionally powerful star ruled by Rudra. Let the emotions moving through you be powerful and transformational. Sunday, July 31st Moon in 13th tithi Trayodasi Moon continues through Ardra the majority of the day, bringing intense emotional waves and aggression. Rudra, the storm god, guarantees powerful and passionate emotional outbursts. Anger and sadness co-mingle in this nakshatra, stirring waves of grief and pain. This is your power. Put your attention on the pulse of your emotional currents. Let this power move you into action. What are you creating? What needs to be cleared and severed for greater life potency? Late afternoon, Moon shifts to Punarvasu nakshatra and the light and softness returns. Can you feel the fluidity returning? Clarify your needs and move towards your deepest nourishment and wisdom. Hopefully you've been attending to your emotional body and creating more space for the new. What seeds are you planting for lasting results? Leo becomes a packed house in the coming weeks as Venus moves into this fire sign. Jupiter, Rahu and Mercury are also here and Sun will arrive in Leo mid month as well. As Venus moves into Leo on July 31st at 13:40, the sign of the father, power and ego intensifies. This magnification occurs as Jupiter prepares to leave Leo after a yearlong transit here. The lessons of the past cycle are magnifying, culminating in a stronger, more intense awareness. Relationships are the core focus at this time, instigating a deep desire to change, transform and heal the battles within your polarities. Masculine and feminine forces are ripe and asking for integration and co-creation.

Moon loves its own watery, heart centered sign. It loves the fluid nature of Cancer and the orientation towards home and heart. It needs the structure and landing force of home and heart in order to feel safe and secure. From this place, love can flow.

Already feeling the effects? Get details, resources, guidance and support for the months to come. Book a session with me This Week's Intention: Where do you feel gratitude and loving kindness moving through you? How do these waves of abundance invite in more expansion and possibility for you? Dive into these powerful waves moving from your heart center and swim with the currents- not against them. The week begins with an immense Moon, awakening the most auspicious full Moon of the year, Guru Purnima. Your cup is full and teaming with emotion and power. How are you channeling this big energy? Can you open and awaken your heart more? Sun has now moved to Cancer, joining Venus and Mercury here. A bright light has entered your heart center. Shine and connect with love and creativity. Monday, July 18th Moon in 14th tithi Chaturdashi Moon moves to the second nakshatra in Sagittarius early in the morning, arriving in the domain of Apas. PurvaAshada is ruled by mighty water goddess- who can be a soft, gentle stream, or ferocious white waters. Both cleanse and clear but the feeling is very different. Today brings rejuvenation and regeneration. This fierce nakshatra offers harsh release and renewal. Allow your inner waters to flow and attend to the wisdom of these waters moving through you. Do you go with the currents, or against them? Let your heart lead the way. Tuesday, July 19th Moon in 15th tithi Purnima Early morning, Moon shifts to the latter half of the Ashada constellation. The most auspicious full Moon of the year arrives on July 19th at 16:56. Guru Purnima is considered the fullest full Moon of the year, dedicated to gurus and teachers who bring you wisdom, guidance and support. This year, Guru Purnima occurs while the Moon is in Capricorn and UttaraAshada nakshatra- just a few degrees shy of landing in the sacred portal of Abhijit nakshatra. The Vishva Devas are enlivened, sparking support and assistance from universe and spirit. The Vishva Devas bring power and the ability to overcome obstacles, while finding the support you need to become successful. Worshipping the Vishva Devas, or the Laws of Nature, brings you the empire, the kingdom, the royal success you long for on the material plane of existence. The Vishva Devas support your success beyond dreams, but will help you materialize your visions into reality. This is an action oriented lunar constellation, ruled by the Sun. It demands truth, honesty, integrity and your committed arrival to your dharmic path. Read more in my Full Moon Wisdom Wednesday, July 20th Moon in 1st tithi Pratipad Riding the high tides of Guru Purnima yesterday, Moon shifts into Sravana nakshatra mid morning, inviting in the blessings of Vishnu, god of dharma. His expansive ways invite in growth, learning and moving towards knowledge and wisdom. What are you expanding towards? What are you moving towards? Declare and invoke your desires and put them into action. Put your creative intelligence into motion. Thursday, July 21st Moon in 2nd tithi Dvitiya Mid morning, Moon moves to Dhanishta nakshatra, the domain of the Vasu Devas. The eight Vasu Devas are a source of light, illumination and shining. They bring jyoti (light) which awakens wisdom and inner knowing. This wisdom creates prosperity and self expression, inner power and potential. It is said that those who desire wealth, worship the Vasu Devas. There is immense creativity here and as a result a strong ability to manifest on the material plane of existence. Shine your light bright today and find ways to express, share and connect through your authentic inner light. Late afternoon, Moon shifts to Aquarius- receiving direct gaze from Rahu and Jupiter as well as Mars. The emotional body will be hot and sparked in the coming days. Open, awaken, transform. Friday, July 22nd Moon in 3rd tithi Tritiya It's my birthday today! Thank you for continuing to follow along with my work and for supporting my dharma. You are the biggest gift to me! I am deeply grateful for you and honored to be walking with you. Here's to another amazing year of growth, development and transformation. xo Early morning, the Moon shifts into Satabisha nakshatra and Varuna arrives with his "hundred medicines". Varuna sees all, as he has thousands of eyes all over his body. He notices and knows from every angle- often expressing his knowing with criticism and judgement. The intelligence he brings with him can also be used as a healing resource, supporting insight, growth and awareness. It's imperative that you eat well and treat yourself with tenderness and care during Satabisha Moon times. He leaves a lasting mark on your health when you disobey his orders. Align closely with Natural Law at this time. How can you honor your needs more acutely today? Where do you need to ask for more support? How is the inner critic keeping you from deeper nourishment and support? Saturday, July 23rd Moon in 4th tithi Chaturthi Just as Saturday arrives, Moon moves into Purvabhadrapada, symbolized by the front of a funeral cot. Moon is in exact conjunction with Ketu at this time, sparking emotional body release. You may feel short tempered today, or agitated. The emotional body is being cracked open. What needs are arriving? What messages are being expressed through your emotional body? Listen carefully and move towards your inner landscape. Release is happening on multiple levels right now. As Moon shifts into Pisces just before midnight, endings arrive. What are you releasing and letting go of? Sunday, July 24th Moon in 5th and 6th tithi Panchami and Sashti Moon transits Pisces and Uttarabhadrapada today, symbolized by the back legs of the funeral cot. Transformation is finding completion and release. There's hesitancy about how to move forward and what steps to take. You don't have to know how, just stay true to your intentions and keep moving in a direction that honors your needs. Today requires some deep diving, allowing you to rest in the depths of your being. Linger here a little longer and find the source of your discomfort. What can this dissatisfaction tell you about your needs? Where are you resisting getting your needs met? Monday, July 25th Moon in 6th and 7th tithi Sashti and Saptami Just as Monday arrives, Moon enters the final nakshatra of the zodiac. Endings and release are present, while openings are awakened simultaneously. Be conscious about this release process. What are you letting go of? What are you closing to? As the Moon moves through the last sign and nakshatra of the zodiac, the emotional body will feel the watery release, triggering your inner waters to flow. Find your fluidity, movement and motion. Ease and move towards the release. Notice where you are resisting and refusing your inner waters. Follow the currents. * 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. Did you miss my special July class ~ Relationships Are Your Guru?

Early in the week Mars returns to Scorpio, re-instigating tension between the opposing forces Saturn and Mars. Sun will also shift to Cancer late in the week, bringing light to the heart center and home. Moon continues to wax, moving into fullness early next week. The coming full Moon is the most auspicious in the Vedic Calendar and the fullest of the year. Guru Purnima is on the rise- honor your teachers. Join me for my special Guru Purnima Class- Relationships Are Your Guru. Get the Details Monday, July 11th Moon in 8th tithi Ashtami The first half of the day Savitr continues to support great light and dawning within. He activates the hands and creativity, healing and wisdom. Something new is on the horizon, hone your vision. Your ability to be clear and align with your inner knowing, will increase the brilliance arriving. As Moon shifts into Chitra for the second half of the day, Mars is activated. He's preparing to move back into Scorpio in just a few hours, activating his vulnerability and hesitancy. Mars is usually decisive, but right now he is moving with much more trepidation. This cancels out any momentum gained by Chitra today and the creative power of Vishva Karma. You may make inner progress, but don't force outer progress. With Mercury newly arriving in Cancer as well, the mind is also vulnerable and weak today. Clarity and precision are not strong. Go slow and turn inward for best results. Tuesday, July 12th Moon in 9th tithi Navami Just as Tuesday begins, Mars moves back into Scorpio, joining Saturn here. He lingers in the gap for the coming days, causing weakness with action steps and forward momentum. Where are you delaying or resisting movement? Use this time for sacred pause and stillness and make your steps very intentional. Themes for this coming Mars transit strongly include unifying polarities and extremes within your being. This may be through masculine and feminine forces, authority and subordinates, shadow and light. You may identify that your force versus surrender needs more integration. Strong themes of opening and closing will emerge in forceful and dramatic ways. Be prepared to let go. Clinging will only intensify the pain. Trust this process of release as it is moving you closer to your inner truth, the purpose of your life and path. Read More about Mars in Scorpio in my July Horoscopes Early morning, Moon shifts to Libra. Ketu gives his gaze, sparking sudden emotional body outbursts. Track your emotions diligently in the coming days as relationships and the need for support and stability will be themes connected to your feelings. Late afternoon, Moon shifts to Swati nakshatra, inviting in movement and change through the breath of Vayu. Relationships will be strongly effected by these winds of change. Are you opening or closing- or both? Find the support and stability you need within the body. Wednesday, July 13th Moon in 10th tithi Dashami Vayu continues to blow in his change and transformation today, bringing new possibilities, openings and arrivals. As Moon moves through Libra it requests balance and integration for your emotional body. Vayu is a Rudra, which means he has great strength, power and prestige- capable of forceful acts. He shows up softly at times or with force and aggression at other times. How will you direct the power that is moving through you? In the evening, Moon shifts into Vishaka and the dual forces, Indra and Agni, arrive with their integrative energies. This dynamic duo brings co-creation and a coming together of opposites- yet aligns them with one purpose. What support and resources do you need? Thursday, July 14th Moon in 11th tithi Ekadashi Moon continues through Vishaka today and the duality of King and Priest (Indra and Agni) within you seeks balance and order. These forces appear externally to remind you of the power and energy within you. What relationship do you have with your inner king? Your inner priest? These are co-creative forces here to support you with increasing your power and wisdom. Start asking for more support in order to get your needs met. Who is showing up for you? Are you open to receiving the support that is here? Moon lands in Scorpio late afternoon, colliding with sandhi Mars who is still very weak in degrees. The emotional body will feel the fire, yet will turn it inward. Find safe and healthy ways to release and transform the power moving through you. It may be subtle, but none the less very worthy of your attention and intention. Just before midnight, Moon shifts to Anuradha nakshatra and Mitra arrives with his resources of friendship and community support. Step towards the comfort that surrounds you. Friday, July 15th Moon in 12th tithi Dvadasi Moon moves through Scorpio, conjunct a weak Mars and Saturn, and will be sandwiched in between these two warring planets for the next few days, causing tension and delays. Confusion about action steps increase and uncertainty about momentum and movement sparks anger and sadness simultaneously. Where are you stuck? Where are you frozen? How can you clarify your boundaries and needs at this time and move towards these intentions, rather than get stuck? Sun moves to Cancer at 22:21, joining Venus and Mercury here. This Sun cycle brings healing and transformation with heart and relationships. Address your longings and cravings. Find the root of these needs and identify your actions and choices. How do you either support or negate your needs? What helps you align with your values and what moves you away? Relationships become a very central resource in this cycle- a resource that mirrors and instigates new desires and new needs. There may be comfort and discomfort. Use everything as a resource for opening the pathways that you know nourish and support you.

Get the Details Saturday, July 16th Moon in 12th and 13th tithi Dvadashi to Trayodasi Just as Saturday arrives, Moon shifts to the other side of Saturn and gains some breathing room from the conflict of Mars and Saturn, while also moving into Jyeshta nakshatra. This is a sharp and dreadful nakshatra (Tikshna) and will bring daring and bold actions with it. Mercury and Venus are in exact conjunction right now, inviting in strong imaginal and creative forces. The mind flows towards artistry, love and harmony right now. Turn the light on and honor these energies moving through you. Direct the mind towards activities that bring you joy and abundance, rather than the stuckness and overwhelm that is also present. Notice what you choose. You create your own reality. Don't bypass the pain, but use it as a resource for your own healing. Hint: It's all in the mind. Sunday, July 17th Moon in 13th and 14th tithi Trayodasi to Chaturdashi Moon leaps into Sagittarius just as Sunday begins and lands in Mula nakshatra, the notorious chaos maker. Ruling deity, Nirrti, instigates the uprooting process and provokes dramatic changes. Her constant upheaval can create an addiction to the turmoil, leaving you with a sense of instability and lack of support. Notice where you are creating this pattern and paradigm for yourself today. Are you so addicted to the turmoil that you are resisting the stability that lies within you? The self is your greatest mirror for growth and healing. Look within. Notice the external mirrors showing up to remind you what needs to change within. What resources, guidance and support do you need to make these changes? Monday, July 18th Moon in 14th tithi Chaturdashi Moon moves to the second nakshatra in Sagittarius early in the morning, arriving in the domain of Apas. PurvaAshada is ruled by mighty water goddess- who can be a soft, gentle stream, or ferocious white waters. Both cleanse and clear but the feeling is very different. Today brings rejuvenation and regeneration. This fierce nakshatra offers harsh release and renewal. Allow your inner waters to flow and attend to the wisdom of these waters moving through you. Do you go with the currents, or against them? Let your heart lead the way. Join me for my special Guru Purnima Class- Relationships Are Your Guru. Get the Details * 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.
This Week's Intention: Play big or go home. Rise up and step towards your self. Distractions are your resistance in disguise. A new Moon in Gemini and the harsh nakshatra, Ardra, jump start the week. There is a powerful force moving through you. Can you feel the intense surge of energy? How do you channel this potency of life? Venus moves to Cancer later in the week, which brings an increased focus on comfort and heart wisdom. Listen for the messages of your inner wisdom helping you align with clearer boundaries, and actions that feel more aligned with your need for nourishment. There's still so much distraction and refusal to see your abundant nourishment and power right now. Rahu is creating a lot of shadow and procrastination with inner work. Much of this story is connected to your father, so look closely at this relationship- as this is a key for making inner change. Transforming this old paradigm takes work, steady steps and new choices. Gather resources and support, guidance and wisdom- then dedicate yourself to this journey. Monday, July 4th Moon in 15th and 1st tithi Amavasya to Pratipad New Moon is on July 4th at 05:02 am. Metaphorically this is a day of independence in the US, which suits this new Moon and waxing cycle to come very well. How much freedom will you feel? That depends on your willingness to show up for yourself and break open the shadow you are clinging to. At the time of the New Moon, four connections to Ardra nakshatra occur. The new Moon is in Ardra as well as the Sun. The sign on the horizon is Gemini, placed acutely in Ardra. Gemini's ruling planet, Mercury is in this constellation as well. The ruling planet of this star pattern is Rahu, insuring that shadow will be encountered. Rudra owns this part of the sky and as the storm god, he is sure to deliver. He especially offers emotional outbursts connected to anger and rage. Big waves of tears, grief and pain can be moved as well, which is an important next step for all of us- after just finishing up a Mula Nakshatra waning cycle that certainly tilled the inner soil. Read more about the New Moon in Gemini By late morning, Moon shifts into Punarvasu nakshatra, Aditi's domain. She brings her resources and her abundant goodness to those that accept and receive her gifts. She is the mother of the Adityas (resource givers) as well as 33 devas. Like a mother to a child, she supports and offers her unlimited abundance to those awake enough to accept all that she offers. How are you showing up for your abundance? Where does your story of scarcity rob you of your ability to feel well fed by life? Notice your thoughts, words and actions. Is your story of lack keeping you locked in to this old paradigm of depletion? Tuesday, July 5th Moon in 2nd tithi Dvitiya As Tuesday begins, Moon jumps into its own sign, Cancer. It feels at home here, and magnifies the heart center, sacred home space, mother and all things connected to land. Once late morning arrives, Moon shifts to Pushya nakshatra and Brihaspati brings his nourishment through wisdom. He is the guru to the devas (the gods) and offers vast knowledge and brilliance- shining light on darkness and ignorance. He is a priest and uses ritual to align with the sacred. It is Brihaspati who will support increasing good thoughts and releasing negative ones. This is a process of bringing your darkness in front of the light, pulling up the unconscious thoughts to the surface of your mind. As your consciousness increases, so does your sattva, your purity in thought. Where are you resisting this work? Pushya supports increased wisdom and guidance- seek out the guru. The guru within and the gurus ready and willing to usher in your change process. Just before noon, Sun moves out of Ardra nakshatra after more than two weeks in this very challenging constellation. It is arguably the most challenging constellation of the zodiac and brings with it extremes of all kinds. Mercury will move out of Ardra Wednesday morning as well. The multiple planets that have been moving through Rudra's domain- including a new Moon in Ardra- have instigated violence, attacks and increasingly difficult emotional landscapes for many. These transits through Ardra, have certainly been responsible for the recent bombings around the world that have claimed hundreds of lives. As Sun and Mercury move into Punarvasu nakshatra now, it completes the cycle of planets through Ardra. Expect a softening to arrive and a deeper desire for inner growth and wisdom. The distractions and resistance through numbness and avoidance will start to transform. Step towards yourself and strengthen your commitment to your dharmic path and purpose. This is how we heal ourselves and how we heal our world family. Wednesday, July 6th Moon in 3rd tithi Tritiya Early morning, Moon moves to the final constellation within Cancer. Ashlesha nakshatra is ruled by Sarpa, a serpent responsible for his occult and mystical prowess. Although he can lack integrity and use his power for the dark arts, overall transformation and healing can take place on a very deep level. This healing is especially connected to the mental body and changing old stories and limiting beliefs that keep you locked into your shadow parts. Where are you resisting creating something new and more powerful for yourself? What story is derailing you and keeping you in lack? Thursday, July 7th Moon in 4th tithi Chaturthi Mid morning, the lunar tides shift as the Moon jumps from water (Cancer) into fire (Leo). Anytime a planet jumps into a contradictory element, it can cause challenges and vulnerability. For the sensitive, emotional body, this is especially true. Your inner Moon will require your gentleness today so honor the needs arriving. As Moon lands in Leo, it enters Magha nakshatra. The ancestral domain of Pitr enlivens and father issues come to the surface. Father issues are especially activated right now with Jupiter and Rahu moving through Leo as well. Notice the support arriving. Acknowledge the challenges. How is this story with your father mirroring your challenges and resources? At 03:57 am MDT Venus moves from Gemini into Cancer, joining Moon here for a few hours. Venus separates from the Sun once again until the 16th. Once Sun moves to Cancer, their heated dance reactivates. Mercury joins Venus in Cancer on the 11th and the Venus, Sun, Mercury trio will activate again- heating mind and body, creativity and inner life force energy. Stay in and near water and use it as a resource for cleansing as well as cooling. Nourishment of the heart becomes a central theme for this cycle as you navigate what feels supportive and what does not. Some will get complacent and even lazy in the coming weeks, mistaking the comfort zone for alignment with abundance. Just because there's no pinch, doesn't mean there isn't work to be done. You're likely avoiding something important. You'll know if you're truly aligned with your deep nourishment, if the body feels safe, grounded, supported and stable. Where do you feel this safety within? It's your heart and home that will need your attention the most in this cycle. Your emotional body will be seeking greater nourishment and containment. Boundaries will be vital. Where are you pushing past your inner knowing? What does it feel like when you are in alignment with your boundaries? When you are out of alignment? This is an important time to learn the difference and notice the effects on your emotional body. There's a vital need for inner and outer balance being provoked. Are you awake enough to notice the inner messages arriving- or pushing past your inner wisdom? Let your heart lead the way and listen carefully to the ways it supports your need for safety, comfort and support. How do you get these needs met? Do your choices honor your true needs or are you fooling yourself? Move closer to the feeling of stability and support within your body. This is your last chance to join my Jyotish Astrology Course! Ready to take your relationship with Self to the next level? Join me for July Jyotish Astrology classes. This month's focus is creative courage and working with the wisdom of Saraswati. Get the Details Friday, July 8th Moon in 5th tithi Panchami Fertility is flowing as Moon arrives in Purvaphalguni nakshatra mid morning. Both Rahu and Jupiter are here as well, instigating increased passion, creativity, life force energy and fertility. The bees are buzzing. Can you hear their sweet song or are you too busy to notice? Saturn's gaze on Leo increases the need for stability, support and structure as well as the feeling of grief, slowness and the need for patience. Things are moving, the flow is happening- are you allowing it and aligning with its power? Or are you resisting the abundance with your scarcity story and feelings of lack? The sensuality is arriving- let it tempt you into more presence and more sacred pause. Allow the creativity to activate you into being. Saturday, July 9th Moon in 6th tithi Sasthi Late morning, Moon moves to the latter half of the Phalguni constellation, Uttaraphalguni and the essence of Sun is invigorated as well as ancestral support through Aryaman. The mind is hotter today as is the emotional body. You may notice things heating up within as a result. What does this heat tell you about your needs? What's working? What needs to shift? How can you use the heat and pressure to create clarity? Late afternoon, Moon moves to Virgo, increasing mental body awareness. The critic and inner judge may activate as well as a sense of perfectionism. Is this connected to your story of scarcity? Of not being enough on some level? Notice how this keeps you out of the nourishment and the alignment with abundance. Work consciously with the mind in the coming days to increase transformation. Mars has been at the edge of Libra for days now, which does not support timely action steps. Is this your resistance or avoidance sabotaging your progress? There is an imbalance with action at this time. Are you pushing and forcing or not taking action at all? Show up for yourself. Sunday, July 10th Moon in 7th tithi Saptami Late morning, Moon shifts into Hasta nakshatra, Savitr's domain. The light is increasing. Can you see what is arriving or are you blinded? Moon continues through Virgo today, ruled by the mental body and Mercury. Currently at the edge of Gemini, Mercury is vulnerable, open and provoking mental body awareness for those paying attention. The light comes on today a little brighter. Change the mind, change the stories, change the way you work with the limiting beliefs and personal mythology holding you back. Mercury moves into the watery sign of Cancer at 22:05 MDT, joining Venus here. Outside of the gaze of any other planets, this creative duo can express itself more potently. This pair likes to be entrepreneurial, to create and co-create. Align with the flow of your abundant inner wisdom and activate resources and support to help you manifest dreams into reality. Use your feeling body to get the job done as this is the most crucial resource for manifestation that you have available to you. This cycle is intimately connected with inner and outer balance. Personal and relational boundaries are key as you navigate internal and external influences arriving. Clarify what you need and what steps need to be taken for activation. The mirrors arriving are powerful and supportive in the coming weeks. They will help you work more harmoniously with what you are attracting if you choose to work with relationships consciously. Relationships as a whole will be very telling for you. What is being mirrored to you. Do you like what you see? The challenges are vital messengers. Everything from the outside is just a magnification of what needs to awaken more fully within you. Where are you resisting your shadow? If you want greater nourishment and support from the outside, you must be willing to uncover all the darkness within keeping you from experiencing this. It's the inner work that needs your attention. Monday, July 11th Moon in 8th tithi Ashtami The first half of the day Savitr continues to support great light and dawning within. He activates the hands and creativity, healing and wisdom. Something new is on the horizon, hone your vision. Your ability to be clear and align with your inner knowing, will increase the brilliance arriving. As Moon shifts into Chitra for the second half of the day, Mars is activated. He's preparing to move back into Scorpio in just a few hours, activating his vulnerability and hesitancy. Mars is usually decisive, but right now he is moving with much more trepidation. This cancels out any momentum gained by Chitra today and the creative power of Vishva Karma. You may make inner progress, but don't force outer progress. With Mercury newly arriving in Cancer as well, the mind is also vulnerable and weak today. Clarity and precision are not strong. Go slow and turn inward for best results. * All timing is in Mountain Daylight Time.

Join me for July Jyotish Astrology classes. This month's focus is creative courage and working with the wisdom of Saraswati.
Get the Details This Week's Intention: Begin again. Allow renewal, change and transformation to move you this week. Commit to new steps and deeper transformation. Get out of your own way. Mercury has just moved to Gemini, joining the combust pair Sun and Venus- marking a month long transit of mental body clean up. The mental body likes this thought provoking, creative sign, but will meet some heat and conflict with the tumult of Sun and Venus during this transit. The Moon continues to wane, inviting in depth and introspection as well as emotional body sensitivity. Mars will finally go direct late week, inviting in forward momentum with action steps, courage and inner strength. Sun continues through Rudra's nakshatra, Ardra, provoking strong and challenging emotions, immense power and determination. Stay with it and lean in to the inner messages calling to you. Monday, June 27th Moon in 8th tithi Ashtami Monday begins with Moon transiting the final sign of the zodiac as the emotional body continues to wane. Endings increase. Let go and release. Where are you clinging or holding on, unable to surrender? As Moon continues through Uttarabhadrapada, connect with your depths and inner wisdom. Dive deep within and find your inner knowing. There is potent transformation available to those who are committed to the exploration of their unconscious territory. Your willingness will take you far. Let your body wisdom be the catalyst for deeper exploration. Where do you feel the challenges you face- within your body? What does this part of your body have to share with you? Listen carefully for the messages and the needs arriving. Your presence alone can be a healing resource. Late evening, Moon moves to the final nakshatra of the zodiac, Revati, ushering in the support and guidance of Pushan. He support your path with resources. What are you gathering? Tuesday, June 28th Moon in 9th tithi Navami Moon is in transition, release and seeking closure. Notice your emotional body and its need for completion and letting go right now. What are you finishing up and digesting from the previous cycle? As the Moon finalizes its passage through Pisces and Revati nakshatra today, pay special attention to endings. Tidy up loose ends and attend to any needs that will support completion. You are preparing to invite in new possibilities and potential in the coming days. Are you ready? Have you created space for the new? Late evening, Moon steps into Aries, crossing the tumultuous gap between water (Pisces) and fire (Aries), signaling endings and beginnings. As Moon lands in the first sign of the zodiac, it sparks renewal and a shift towards openings and fresh starts. Once the lunar mirror lands in Ashwini nakshatra, rejuvenation becomes necessary. Attend to self care, health, wellness and vitality. Cut away and release that which doesn't support your inner life force energy. Wednesday, June 29th Moon in 10th tithi Dashami Moon travels through Ashwini nakshatra, supporting healing and nourishment through health, wellness and creativity. The Ashvini-Kumara twins rule this constellation, guardians of Ayurveda- the oldest living health science alive. The Ashvini-Kumara twins use the arts as one of their remedies for healing and transformation as they recognize that the healing arts cover all aspects of Creative Intelligence. Allow your creativity to be awakened from within. Support your Shakti, life force energy, to enliven and flow with potent creative acts. Early evening, Moon shifts into Bharani nakshatra, Yama's domain. The theme of creativity continues, but is intensified by Yama's transformational power. The yoni symbolizes the strength and power of the Divine Feminine and both her wisdom with birth and death- opens and closes. Vulnerability and strength are intimately intertwined here. Ride the edge and use your vulnerability as a resource for inner change. Thursday, June 30th Moon in 11th tithi Ekadashi Moon continues through Bharani nakshatra, requesting restraint, determination, rest and balance with physical needs. As the Moon shifts into Krittika nakshatra in the afternoon, heat and appetite increase. What are you hungry for? What needs to be purified and released? Late evening, Moon moves to its exaltation degrees in Taurus, amplifying the need for comfort, security and financial support. Emotions deepen and inner tides become stronger. How do you ride the waves? Mars is now direct! The stuckness shall move. The action steps will come forth. The passion will rise! Mars is direct! For those signs ruled by Mars like Aries and Scorpio, life will start moving forward more ardently now. Enjoy! Now start showing up for yourself. Notice where you've been neglecting and avoiding. You say you want change, get clear on where you're in your own way. If it's not working, it's time to look in the mirror and do something differently. Mars goes direct on June 30th and must travel back through Libra once again, covering the territory he already moved through. This will take him until July 12th when he re-enters Scorpio. As Mars moves back to Scorpio, he rejoins Saturn here, this time until September 18th. In total, Mars will march through his own sign the majority of the year. Because he must contend with Saturn as well, there is ample opportunity in the coming months to truly integrate polarities that are causing you disconnections and disassociation. Read more about Mars direct in Libra Friday, July 1st Moon in 12th tithi Dvadasi As Friday begins, the Moon shifts into its mulitrikona degrees, continuing through Taurus- the sign connected to the 2nd house of the zodiac. Mulitrikona planets function at about 75% of their energy, meaning the Moon will be feeling the impact of stronger currents. You may notice emotions are extra high or extra low, or swinging between extremes. Pay attention to these messages as the feelings emerging are important reminders about needs- needs that are getting met and needs that are not getting met. Your job is to find all the ways in which you are blocking the nourishment from your life and being. Just after noon, Moon moves to the creative and manifestation oriented nakshatra, Rohini. Ruling power couple, Lord Brahma and Goddess Saraswati, bring creative intelligence with them. Knowing how to work with their supportive energy will help you bring forth your dreams into reality. Where are you blocking the creative flow? How is your story of scarcity, of lack, of not being enough, keeping you from aligning with your full creative potential? It's time to start changing that old story. Gather new resources and support. Stop thinking you can change this without doing something radically different! Saturday, July 2nd Moon in 13th tithi Trayodasi Moon is waning and close to emptiness. Potential increases. New possibilities arrive. Release is taking place. How do you work with the loss, the slowness, the vulnerability arriving? How do you shape the potential, the openings being created? The first half of the day continues to activate strong creativity. Use this time for manifestation and clarifying your vision, dreams and desires. Where do you feel this landing in your body? What does your imagination stir within? Just before noon, Moon shifts to Mrigashirsha nakshatra and a certain fickleness arrives. The deer influences the day with its flighty movements and cleaver will for nourishment. What are you moving towards? What are you moving away from? Where are you showing up for yourself and receiving the support you need? Where are you resisting and refusing to change old behaviors, beliefs and actions? Nourishment takes work and your willingness to keep moving towards this truth. The ruling planet of this constellation is Mars- currently teetering at the edge of Libra at 29 degrees. Your actions, choices and steps are not clear right now. Go slow and be very intentional with your choices. Stay in alignment and right-relationship with your inner warrior. Sunday, July 3rd Moon in 14th tithi Chaturdashi The ever changing Moon continue to move through the skillful and tender constellation Mrigashirsha. It's flighty nature mirrors the movements of a deer, while its symbol is the antler. The branching antlers symbolize the strong medicinal and aphrodisiac qualities offered by the ever growing extension of this powerful animal. Keep reaching, extending and branching out. Your ability to stay in the growth process, rather than stagnation, will keep the life force energy moving through you. Where are you resisting your inner growth process? How is this impacting your outer growth as a result? Late evening Moon shifts into Gemini, joining Sun, Mercury and Venus there as well. The Moon steps into a conflict zone as Sun and Venus continue to track each other under less than 10 degrees apart. Your emotional body kicks in and heats up. The mind will be equally provoked. Keep landing within. Use the discomfort as a resource for change. What is not working? What is? Life is about finding the resources and working with the challenges as a resource for transformation. Ready to get to work? Monday, July 4th Moon in 15th tithi Amavasya New Moon is on July 4th at 05:02 am. Metaphorically this is a day of independence in the US, which suits this new Moon and waxing cycle to come very well. How much freedom will you feel? That depends on your willingness to show up for yourself and break open the shadow you are clinging to. At the time of the New Moon, four connections to Ardra nakshatra occur. The new Moon is in Ardra as well as the Sun. The sign on the horizon is Gemini, placed acutely in Ardra. Gemini's ruling planet, Mercury is in this constellation as well. The ruling planet of this star pattern is Rahu, insuring that shadow will be encountered. Rudra owns this part of the sky and as the storm god, he is sure to deliver. He especially offers emotional outbursts connected to anger and rage. Big waves of tears, grief and pain can be moved as well, which is an important next step for all of us- after just finishing up a Mula Nakshatra waning cycle that certainly tilled the inner soil.

Register for July Jyotish Astrology Classes! Awaken your creative power and courage to heal and transform as we dive into the 3rd house of the jyotish chart this month! Registration Closes July 7th!! Get the Details This Week's Intention: Your emotional body may be charged and the waves extra choppy. How do you use this potent inner strength mindfully? Do you channel it consciously and move towards your goals with purpose, or do you let this strength burn you up? Be attentive and notice how you use your power. A tempestuous full Moon jump starts the week. Be very attentive to your steps. Go slow, pause and listen deep within. Chaotic energies will be high on and around the full Moon, so take this into consideration when making plans, traveling and moving your body. Partly it is because you are less grounded and less attentive- and partly it is due to what is influencing you cosmically. This is an opportunity to go slow and listen to your inner needs very carefully. Whatever is coming to the surface, give it your presence. You are being cracked open right now in new ways, powerful ways- in order for you to bring the light to the parts of you that have been hidden and neglected. It's time to awaken and burst forth! Find your grounding chord and hold on! Monday, June 20th Moon in 15th to 1st tithi Purnima to Pratipad The June full Moon is on Monday the 20th at 05:02 am Mountain Daylight time. Moon will be transiting Sagittarius and Mula nakshatra at the time of the full Moon. Rahu gives his shadowy gaze to the Moon, as well as the tempestuous pair, Sun and Venus, currently combust in Gemini. The heat and uncertainty will be palpable in the cycle to come, increasing overwhelm and confusion. The necessity for uprooting, creating change and moving into right-relationship with the chaos principle, will be imperative. Movement, change and momentum will increase through branching out, reaching and extending. Imagine it, then create it. Explore new possibilities, try new resources, ask for support in new ways. Communicate your needs and reach towards that which will increase your nourishment. Many will feel stuck in the chaos and unable to see past the turmoil, undermining your ability to create and manifest. This cycle is an opportunity to work with the chaos, to use it as a resource for deep transformation and change. It is also Summer Solstice for the Northern Hemisphere today. The light, inner and outer, is at its peak. Read More about the full Moon and Solstice in my June Full Moon Wisdom As evening arrives, Moon shifts into the second constellation of Sagittarius, PurvaAshada. Let the water flow. Allow the wisdom of Apas, the water goddess, to support the movement and flow of your inner ocean. What is your relationship with "it's never enough"? Join me for a special June Abundance class! From Scarcity to Abundance. An embodied and creative approach to increasing your wealth. Early Bird pricing ends June 20th. Get the Details Tuesday, June 21st Moon in 1st and 2nd tithi Pratipad to Dvitiya The majority of the day, Moon moves through the watery, second constellation of Sagittarius, PurvaAshada. Ruling planet Venus will request attention to your life force energy, while the deity Apas will support the flow. Venus, however, is currently in a heated battle with the Sun, combust and burning. Life force energy, Shakti, is fragile. Pushing, forcing or over-doing it, will not serve you. Notice where you are depleting your self, your inner awareness, and going against your divine feminine wisdom. The antidote to the heat is slow, steady and attentive steps that bring you into sacred pause. Listen carefully to your needs and cool down. Listen to all four bodies equally. Late evening the Sun energy takes over as Moon shifts into UttaraAshada. Sun has just shifted into Ardra nakshatra, moving through Gemini. The forces within are intensifying. The heat is on. Stay out of the fire. Wednesday, June 22nd Moon in 3rd tithi Tritiya Just after Wednesday begins, Moon moves to Capricorn. Saturn and Mars both give their drishti. As rulers of Capricorn they request an integration between action and inaction, while the emotional body will likely feel the heat and the pressure of this. The Vishva Devas bring their principles of righteousness and inner intelligence with them today. They rule the domain of UttaraAshada nakshatra, enforcing the Laws of Nature and that which aligns with dharma. Going against ones dharma has dire effects on success and one's evolution. Sun rules this constellation as a planetary energetic guide. Currently in battle with creative planet Venus, he is scorching the life force energy within. Purification is high and the heat is turned up! Late afternoon, Moon shifts into the sacred portal between constellations, known as Abhijit. Also called the 28th nakshatra, this star is a place of sanctuary, a place to land within. Use this time to set intentions, quiet the mind, pause and check the four bodies. Meditate, get embodied, spend time with the Divine Mother in nature. Listen and awaken your receptivity. What do you hear? This gap is open until midnight so plan your action steps accordingly. Thursday, June 23rd Moon in 4th tithi Chaturthi Moon continues to move through Capricorn and enters Sravana as the day begins. Sun and Venus are now in the extreme and often brutal nakshatra, Ardra. The challenges with their battle may intensify in the coming days, heating the emotional body especially. Sravana is ruled by the Moon, so expect your emotion body to need extra attention today. The drishti of Saturn and Mars increase the pressure and fire. Forcing or pushing actions and desires will result in disappointment, frustration and rage. Where can you surrender, pause and make adjustments that create more space between you and your story? How is your personal mythology impacting your choices and agenda right now? Do you have the support you need to weather this storm? Gather resources and guidance. Late Thursday evening, Moon moves to the Mars ruled nakshatra, Dhanishata. The Vasu Devas collide with your inner light and support your illumination. You may try to force this process, but it won't work. Your ripening is unique and extraordinary. Let go of your time frame and surrender. Friday, June 24th Moon in 5th tithi Panchami Moon transits Capricorn and Dhanishta nakshatra, receiving gaze from Mars and Saturn. Pressure and heat effect the emotional body. Strategies, set goals and clarify your intentions- but know when to surrender and find ease. Just before noon, Moon moves to Aquarius, joining the spiritual planet Ketu. Notorious for disconnecting, the emotional body will be extra fragile and sensitive in the coming days. Jupiter and Rahu give their gaze- currently in exact degrees. The dance between human and spiritual needs intensifies. Notice where the lack of clarity is keeping you from making empowered choices. As Moon continues through Dhanishta, the light within intensifies. The Vasu Devas support shining and being seen. Frustrations may arrive for those who are not feeling seen, heard or acknowledged. What do you need? Who and what do you need for greater support? Late night, Moon moves to Satabisha nakshatra, provoking healing and insight. Attend to self care tonight and avoid choices that take you off your path. Mind your health. The exact conjunction of Rahu and Jupiter instigates a fierce battle between polarities. Rahu is the demon self, or human self, while Jupiter represents the spiritual self. Who will win? This collision of Jupiter and Rahu in Leo will provoke an interesting dance between the god-self and human-self. Saturn gives his stern, forceful gaze to these two planets from his perch in Scorpio. This focused energy will add an extra layer of intensity to the already powerful force of Jupiter and Rahu. When the energy of Rahu and Saturn conjoin, a Rudra effect is stirred. This can bring power, potency and intense movement as well as quick changes. This combination increases the theme of working with power authentically and carefully which will intensify after Jupiter moves to Virgo in August. Rahu and Jupiter invite an integration of opposing forces. This is a time for your inner god to meet your inner demon, your light to meet your darkness. These forces are at play within each one of us. What is your relationship with your darkness? With your light? This will be an opportunity to get more intimate with your modes of operation. Wherever you've been neglecting your darkness, spiritually by-passing, or avoiding it unconsciously, it will show up to test you and your power at this time. Normally, Jupiter is a comfort and a support, yet the relationship between Jupiter and Rahu is contradictory. Your demon and god qualities will be forced to face each other in the first six months of this cycle. How can both get their needs met, in order for greater harmony within? Where have you been avoiding this integration of your human and god qualities? This is a great time to be aware of where you may be refusing to look at your human parts with authenticity. Simultaneously, spirit is a great ally and a wonderful resource for extra support. However, even spirit wants you to evolve as a human being. It's time to be a fully integrated human. Gather the resources you need for this process. Read More About Rahu and Jupiter and Their Transit Through Leo Saturday, June 25th Moon in 6th tithi Shashti Moon moves through Satabisha today- Varuna's constellation. He sees all and is notorious for a highly critical response to his "all seeing" vision. His ability to notice everything and see with his thousands of eyes, means that nothing gets past his gaze. Taking care of your health and healing practices during Satabisha transits is especially vital, as he will punish those who go against Natural Laws. Cut, clear and sever that which does not serve your health and wellness- physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. Clean up your life and notice where you are complicating things with lack of attention and intention. Late evening, Moon moves into Purvabhadrapada nakshatra and the need for balance- inner and outer- increases. How can you honor the needs of your human self and spiritual self? Sunday, June 26th Moon in 7th tithi Saptami Balance and integration are powerful themes today as Moon continues through Aquarius the sign of integration of opposing forces. Ketu's conjunction with the Moon insures there will be a release process- either forced or obliged. The drishti of Rahu and Jupiter on the Moon will invite in an extra necessity for balance and harmony between opposites. As Moon moves through Purvabhadra, Ajaikapada forces the issue of inner and outer balance. He dances between worlds- insisting you step into a more harmonious dance with all your different parts. What polarities are in conflict within you? Part of you wants something new and different, yet another part of you resists the change. Be honest about these needs and stabilize within your body for more integration. The physical is the only things that's real- right now. Stay connected. Moon shifts into Pisces late afternoon, stirring endings and final release. Late Sunday evening, the Moon arrives into Uttarabhadrapada nakshatra and your depths are stirred. As June closes, Mercury makes another transition, moving into Gemini- joining the combust pair Sun and Venus. Late evening on June 26th, Mercury shifts into Gemini, its own sign, marking a month long transit of mental body clean up. The mental body likes this thought provoking, creative sign, but will meet some heat and conflict with the tumult of Sun and Venus during this transit. This trio will continue to track each other closely through the end of July, so be mindful of the heat and keep your mind cool. The burning heat of the Sun provokes a purification process, this time influencing the mental body. However it may not be comfortable or even effective during the transit. Read more about Mercury in Gemini Monday, June 27th Moon in 8th tithi Ashtami Monday begins with Moon transiting the final sign of the zodiac as the emotional body continues to wane. Endings increase. Let go and release. Where are you clinging or holding on, unable to surrender? As Moon continues through Uttarabhadrapada, connect with your depths and inner wisdom. Dive deep within and find your inner knowing. There is potent transformation available to those who are committed to the exploration of their unconscious territory. Your willingness will take you far. Let your body wisdom be the catalyst for deeper exploration. Where do you feel the challenges you face- within your body? What does this part of your body have to share with you? Listen carefully for the messages and the needs arriving. Your presence alone can be a healing resource. * Timing given is Mountain Daylight time. What is your relationship with "it's never enough"?
Join me for a special June Abundance class! From Scarcity to Abundance! An embodied and creative approach to increasing your wealth. Early Bird pricing ends June 20th. Get the Details This Week's Intention: Changes are happening within you and around you. Use your creative powers within to strengthen your steps and purpose. Allow vulnerability to create possibility- rather than defeat and fear. Integrate and unify opposing forces and let harmony be your guide. The week begins with a waxing Moon and Venus just arriving in Gemini, a friendly sign. The heated war between Sun and Venus pauses as Venus shifts to Gemini on June 12th. The previous weeks have purified, clarified and helped you simplify life, relationships and needs. This trend continues once Sun hops into Gemini on the 14th. Once again, watery Venus will be closely conjunct fiery Sun, causing a heated combustion to take place. This war story continues for the coming months- on again and off again. Pay close attention to themes with relationships, money matters, self worth and power issues as they will be flaring up as a result of this dynamic. Remember this is an opportunity for you to clarify your needs and do the necessary clean up both inner and outer. Mars retrogrades back into Libra late week. Some space is created between Mars and Saturn and the conflict between these opposing forces downgrades to an exchange of signs. In this way, they can give each other more support, rather than excess conflict. Enjoy a bit more increased momentum in the coming weeks. Monday, June 13th Moon in 9th tithi Navami The mental body is activated today as Moon moves through Mercury's sign, Virgo. Just as Monday begins, Moon shifts to Hasta nakshatra- insight and awakening arrive. Savitr rules this constellation, ensuring that light, wisdom and truth will be present within you. What are you not seeing? What have you been refusing to acknowledge or accept? Today, the vision will be bright, your sight will be illuminated. Pay attention and move towards the light. Clarify and activate your inner truth. Your inner knowing will be strong so listen carefully. Tuesday, June 14th Moon in 10th tithi Dashami Mid morning, Moon shifts to Chitra nakshatra and Vishvakarma brings his focused action steps and momentum. Mars rules this star and he is now in the gap between Scorpio and Libra. The door is open between these signs, causing energy to circulate between vulnerability and balance. Use the unknown to cultivate new possibility. Chitra translates as "the brilliant" and is symbolized by a shining jewel. It's a highly creative constellation, bringing the creative process to life. As Moon moves through the 10th Moon phase today, dharma is enlivened. Put your dharmic work into action. Carve out your path. Create through your inner brilliance. Let your subtle realms be the resource for awakening your steps. Late evening Moon moves into Libra, stirring creative energy and the need for balance. Go slow and use the body as a resource for finding stability. Just before noon, Sun moves to Gemini, joining Venus here, continuing their heated battle between fire and water, precision and flow, human and soul needs. This cycle is a potent refinement process that will ask you to be get clear and focused about your desires. There is ancestral support and guidance for those who lean into this spiritual resource. Mars gives his gaze to Gemini (until he shifts back into Libra), which is a challenging sign for him as the warrior and mind don't get along (the ruling planet of Gemini is Mercury). However, Mars does connect well with both Sun and Venus, so he lends his support for action and momentum nonetheless. Ketu's gaze to Gemini, shifts the focus, bringing disconnection and restructuring, while at times offering disassociation as well. Read more about Sun in Gemini in my June Horoscopes Wednesday, June 15th Moon in 11th tithi Ekadashi Moon moves into Swati nakshatra late morning as Sun continues to land in Gemini. Our light source is- both inner and outer will feel vulnerability enlivened as he adjusts to his new home, rejoining close proximity to Venus simultaneously. As Moon moves through Libra, a Venus ruled sign, it mirrors the need for balance, stability and grounding today. Swati nakshatra undermines this need with its constant movement- often increasing distraction and detachment, rather than balanced forces within. The winds will be blowing in and around you so find your earth based resources and the support you need to counter the air quality. Are you stuck in excess movement, or can you stop, pause and attend to your roots more consciously? Thursday, June 16th Moon in 12th tithi Dvadasi The first half of the day is connected to Swati's movement and the winds of Vayu who continue to rule the day. Ground, stabilize, make friends with your prana. After noon, Moon shifts into Vishaka nakshatra and duality arrives. Finding the integration between opposing forces is vital. The split in your being undermines your empowerment, clarity and strength. What is the need underneath your opposition? The part of you resisting your power and purpose? Seek unity with all parts of you. You must befriend the part of yourself that is resisting and saying no. This is where your greatest resources reside. Friday, June 17th Moon in 13th tithi Dvadashi Late morning, Moon moves to its debilitation sign, Scorpio, passing over sandhi Mars who will move to Libra later today. Moon will also conjunct Saturn in the coming days as it transits through Scorpio. This impacts the emotional body with contraction, tenderness and grief. Suffering is unleashed from the emotional body. Do you surrender to the waves or resist and suppress the pain? The emotional body is requesting your attention and diligence in the coming days. Soften and lean in. Give yourself extra time and space to honor the pain emerging. Moon shifts to Anuradha nakshatra late afternoon, bringing support through transformation and regeneration, as well as through friends and loved ones. Go slow and honor the emerging emotions rising within. Some may feel a certain flatness. That's your emotional body going into freeze. Find resources to help you thaw. On June 17th, retrograde Mars returns to Libra. Mars has been in retrograde motion since April 15th, transiting Scorpio with Saturn- who is also retrograde right now. Normally, Mars would be excited to transit his own, familiar territory, however, an intruder also occupies his home. Right now this enemy (Saturn) is in his enemy’s sign and uncomfortable digging up the depths and subconscious territory of Scorpio. Read more about Sun Mars in Libra in my June Horoscopes Saturday, June 18th Moon in 14th tithi Chaturdashi Moon transits Scorpio and Anuradha nakshatra today. The Moon is in its final phases of the waxing cycle. Mitra, the ruling deity of Anuradha, brings support from friends and tradition, but requires you to dive into your depths for transformation and change. There's a certain rising from the ashes, growing from the mud and reaching for the sky. Your body wisdom will be the catalyst for this momentum- for your grounded sense of self and your steady steps. Late afternoon, Moon shifts to Jyeshtha and collides with retrograde Saturn. The mental and emotional bodies will be sensitive and needing your extra attention. Be gentle and kind to yourself. Go slow, be steady. Ground from within. Attend to your inner sensitivity, your grief and all that is stirring and transforming within. Tides are high, surf your inner ocean. Sunday, June 19th Moon in 15th tithi Purnima Moon embarks on the final stages of the waxing cycle, entering fullness and stirring the chaos of release and transformation. The Moon finishes up its time in Scorpio and debilitation, separating from conjunction with Saturn and completing its movement through Jyeshtha nakshatra today. Indra is the ruler of this constellation, bringing with him deep sensitivity as well as strength, power and passion. It's vital that you attend to your emotional body, likely stirred and provoked by the mental body, stories, old paradigms, your unconscious terrain today. This is a time to break open, break free, release and transform your old woundology. Where are you resisting? How can you lean in closer and listen with your presence? Early evening, Moon makes the leap into Sagittarius- from water into fire- landing in Mula nakshatra. Nirrti, the goddess of adharma provokes your transformation and change. Deepen your relationship with the chaos, but separate yourself from the addiction to it. Monday, June 20th Moon in 15th to 1st tithi Purnima to Pratipad The June full Moon is on Monday the 20th at 05:02 am Mountain Daylight time. Moon will be transiting Sagittarius and Mula nakshatra at the time of the full Moon. Rahu gives his shadowy gaze to the Moon, as well as the tempestuous pair, Sun and Venus, currently combust in Gemini. The heat and uncertainty will be palpable in the cycle to come, increasing overwhelm and confusion. The necessity for uprooting, creating change and moving into right-relationship with the chaos principle, will be imperative. Movement, change and momentum will increase through branching out, reaching and extending. Imagine it, then create it. Explore new possibilities, try new resources, ask for support in new ways. Communicate your needs and reach towards that which will increase your nourishment. Many will feel stuck in the chaos and unable to see past the turmoil, undermining your ability to create and manifest. This cycle is an opportunity to work with the chaos, to use it as a resource for deep transformation and change. It is also Summer Solstice for the Northern Hemisphere today. The light, inner and outer, is at its peak. Read More about the full Moon and Solstice in my June Full Moon Wisdom As evening arrives, Moon shifts into the second constellation of Sagittarius, PurvaAshada. Let the water flow. Allow the wisdom of Apas, the water goddess, to support the movement and flow of your inner ocean. What is your relationship with "it's never enough"? Join me for a special June Abundance class!

Register for July Classes now. Get the Details This Week's Intention: Activate your full creative potential with slow, attentive steps. Be mindful of burnout and misusing your life force energy. Channel your creativity consciously- in order to maximize your manifestation magic! The new Moon in Taurus and Rohini nakshatra behind us, a creative and passionate cycle begins. As the Moon continues to wax, manifestation comes to the forefront. Needs increase, as well as the awareness of what your needs are. It's time to create what you want and get results! But be sure to start this process by first honoring the the seeds you're planting with tenderness and presence. Sun and Venus in combustion continue to heat things up this week. Mercury joins this steamy dynamic on Tuesday, amplifying mental body tenacity. Rahu and Jupiter move closer together, causing confusion and overwhelm with power, authority and the masculine, as well as intense desire. Mars moves to the edge of Scorpio, preparing to land back in Libra next week. Seek resolution with your actions. Monday, June 6th Moon in 2nd tithi Dvitiya The week begins with the intense energy of Ardra just as Moon begins its waxing cycle. The emotional body is still fragile, inward and sensitive. Moon moves through Gemini, while its ruling planet Mercury moves to the edge of Aries. The mind and emotions are delicate today and Ardra's ferocity may provoke unpredictable emotional outbursts from you and from others. Passions are high, confusion is strong, overwhelm is present. Do you choose to land in the storm or in the eye of it. You get to use your power with freewill. How do you use your inner strength? Before midnight, Moon shifts to Aditi's domain- offering nourishment, resources and softer, gentler steps. Where do you feel this sense of support in your body. Keep landing back here again and again. Tuesday, June 7th Moon in 3rd tithi Tritiya As Moon continues through Punarvasu today, allow your steps to soften. What are you learning about your needs? What resources feel out of reach? What are you calling in for the cycle to come? Drop into your inner wisdom and allow Aditi's expansive awareness and unifying clarity to help you align with deeper presence. Early afternoon, Moon shifts to its own sign, Cancer, bringing more feeling to the heart center. Without the gaze of the other planets, the Moon will be able to experience more purity in the coming days. Late evening, Moon moves into Pushya nakshatra, the nourishing star. Keep landing in the sensation of being full, taken care of, comforted and well fed by life. Where do you feel this in your body? Allow your breath to bring you back to the now. June 7th, Mercury shifts to Taurus, joining the heated dynamic of combust Venus and Sun who continue to track each other closely. Retrograde Mars and Saturn also give their gaze to these three planets, which causes heat and pressure to intensify. The mind heats up in this transit and may feel extra sensitive, vulnerable and charged as a result. This cycle will provoke inner excavation and transformation within the mental body. Explore places where you are stuck, resistant or refusing to make change. There is liberation possible for those who directly face bad habits, inner conflicts and the opposing forces within. Relationships will prove to be a profound mirror for this change process. Notice where you are rejecting the very nourishment you crave. Read more about Mercury in Taurus in my June Horoscopes Wednesday, June 8th Moon in 4th tithi Chaturthi Moon continues through Pushya today. Your job is to keep landing in the sensation of nourishment within. Where does this feeling arrive in your body? As challenges and conflicts pull you out of this sweet, solid center, use this feeling as a mantra, as a tuning fork continually. This essence is your reminder of who you truly are. You can keep landing back in this place of comfort over and over again. You will likely need extra reminders today, so give your self sacred pauses consistently. Late evening, Moon shifts to Ashlesha nakshatra and Sarpa's energy of illusion and confusion sets in. The mental body will be in a quandary. Try not to loose sleep over this. Thursday, June 9th Moon in 5th tithi Panchami Ashlesha's quality of transformation is enlivened today, but not without heating up the mental body. As a Mercury ruled nakshatra, the mind is intimately connected with the flavors of this star. Mercury is now moving through Taurus with combust Venus and Sun. This steam is clouding the mind and may cause excess heat as a result. Making big decisions right now is not ideal. Watch out for rash choices and making decisions in an aggravated or extreme state. You may also feel uncertain about what to say yes to and what to say no to. Pause and align with your inner knowing before making any decisions. Late evening, Moon leaps into Leo, a tricky gandanta (gap) between water and fire signs. Sudden change arrives as sparks fly. Moon will be amplifying the challenging combination of Jupiter and Rahu in the coming days. Be mindful about how you use your energy and power. Friday, June 10th Moon in 6th tithi Shashti Ketu and Saturn give their gaze to the Moon over the next two days as Moon moves through fire sign Leo. Moon also conjuncts the powerful combination of Rahu and Jupiter who are currently only a couple degrees apart. Jupiter symbolizes purity of knowledge and wisdom as well as spirituality, while Rahu is notoriously connected to the opposite- impurity, confusion and strong worldly desires. The Moon will be mirroring these parts of your inner landscape and personal mythology very acutely at this time. What do you need to identify about your relationship with power and authority? Who and what is keeping you from stepping into your full body yes?! Where are your human and spiritual parts in conflict? Call in your ancestors today for guidance and support as Magha nakshatra is illuminated. Late evening, Moon shifts to the fertile and creative nakshatra, Purvaphalguni. Create something. Saturday, June 11th Moon in 7th tithi Saptami Purvaphalguni epitomizes creativity, fertility and the act of creation. Put your Creative Intelligence to good use today by planting your seeds of desires with consciousness and clarity. Manifestation is a strong theme this waxing cycle and today is a powerful day to support this process. Be aware of where you are forcing or pushing for outcome. Where are you resisting full abundance and all possibilities? Be clear about your needs, but let the Universe organize intelligently for you. Keep your vision alive through painting, drawing, dancing, singing and creative acts! Where do you feel your abundance within? Where does this wisdom land in your body? Use this feeling to create and inspire more. Be very cautious today and tomorrow of burning up your Shakti, life force energy. Less is more. Venus is at the edge of Taurus now. Your feelings and creative resources are fragile and vulnerable in the coming days. Be attentive to your inner waters. Sunday, June 12th Moon in 8th tithi Ashtami Minutes after Sunday begins, Moon shifts to the latter half of the Phalguni constellation, Uttaraphalguni- ruled by the Sun, shifting into Virgo mid morning. The ancestors love your consistent, thoughtful steps. Actions that align with integrity, legacy and lineage. Yesterday brought strong desires, today will ask you to be present to your long term stability and need for sustainability. Part of you is pushing too hard right now and forcing outcomes. Are these really the steps that will bring the most fruitful harvest? Be very attentive to your choices, energy use and what you give and share. Less is more on every level right now. It's way too easy to burn out and misuse your life force energy. Go slow, even if your tendency is to speed ahead. The heated war between Sun and Venus pauses as Venus shifts to Gemini on June 12th. As Venus enters a friendly sign, it separates from the fire of the Sun for a moment. Though Mars still gives his gaze to watery and creative Venus, he charges her up, rather than burns her out. This is a very powerful cycle for creativity and potent manifestation. The previous weeks have purified, clarified and helped you simplify life, relationships and needs. This trend continues once Sun hops into Gemini on the 14th. Once again, watery Venus will be closely conjunct fiery Sun, causing a heated combustion to take place. This war story continues for the coming months- on again and off again. You may notice relationships, money matters, self worth and power issues to be flaring up as a result of this dynamic. Read more about Venus in Gemini in my June Horoscopes Monday, June 13th Moon in 9th tithi Navami The mental body is activated today as Moon moves through Mercury's sign, Virgo. Just as Monday begins, Moon shifts to Hasta nakshatra- insight and awakening arrive. Savitr rules this constellation, ensuring that light, wisdom and truth will be present within you. What are you not seeing? What have you been refusing to acknowledge or accept? Today, the vision will be bright, your sight will be illuminated. Pay attention and move towards the light. Clarify and activate your inner truth. Your inner knowing will be strong so listen carefully. * All timing is in Mountain Daylight Time- one hour ahead of Pacific Time, one hour behind Central Time and two hours behind Eastern Time.
