The May full Moon arrives on the 10th at 15:42 Mountain Time, while Moon transits Libra and the constellation of Vishaka. This portion of the sky is rooted in alliances, partnerships and building connections. The understanding that nothing is accomplished alone, without the help of support, guidance and others who share resources with you. Use this theme in the coming waning cycle to integrate and balance opposing forces. This full Moon is harmonizing as well as celebratory. It is Buddha Jayanti (also called Buddha Purnima), the celebration of Lord Buddhas birthday. Auspiciously, the celebration falls on a Wednesday this year, day of Mercury, the mind. May Lord Buddha's strength in mind and liberation of being ignite within us! Jai Buddha! Indragni rules Vishaka nakshatra- which expresses duality and a certain pluralism. Indra is the king, while Agni is the priest. Each entity brings a necessary element to the relationship, offering an inter-reliance or inter-dependence with each other. The king needs the wisdom and spiritual resources of the priest in order to align with deeper truth and power. The priest needs the physical and financial support and resources from the king in order to serve and deepen his wisdom. Thus both rely on each other for growth and dharma. Notice this dynamic at play within you, your life and relationships. Where are you noticing a duality or polarization? What conflicts are at play between your opposing forces? Where are you needing more integration, balance and harmony? At the time of the full Moon and moving into the waning Moon cycle, Venus is still exalted in Pisces, while Sun continues to exalt in Aries until the 14th. Jupiter is retrograde in Venus until June 9th, while Saturn will remain retrograde until August 25th- shifting back into Scorpio on June 21st. Three gandantas remain open until May 22nd when Mercury moves to Bharani nakshatra. Until then, three gaps of deep uprooting are taking place. These junction points between fire and water bring big changes especially on the psycho-emotional body levels. So much is in flux and change right now. It may feel challenging to find grounding, connection and a sense of rooting. The medicine for this time is deep embodiment, very slow gentle steps and extra listening and landing within. Moon in Libra is uncomfortable- there's too much movement and change, uncertainty and vacillation in this sign. As a result, the Moon feels unstable and ungrounded. Notice in the coming weeks how emotions shift constantly, confusion emerges suddenly and overwhelm sets in all too easily. There will be a strong need to ground, land and integrate opposing forces, polarities and conflicts- inner and outer. Identify these polarities and ask them to give you more information. What do each of these opposing forces need? What are they really asking you for? Lean in and listen. Pause and check. Ask your body wisdom to support and stabilize your inner knowing. Don't rush, push or force outcomes. Right now, it's essential to dance with the opposing forces, the new ground emerging. Find your new inner balance, your new set point for integration and harmony. Don't rush this. Read more about integrating polarities and finding yoga, union, with opposing forces. Creative Ritual More support for integrating and harmonizing your polarities: 1) Identify the polarities at play within you and your life. Make two distinct lists. What are the challenges? The resources? What is working? Not working? Name each category and identify the themes of each polarity that is arriving. 2) Create two images. One image is your challenge image. The other image is your resource image. Spend 10-20 minutes creating each image. Use craypas, paints, pens, collage or any medium that speaks to you. Title each image separately. Then ask each image to give you their message. If this image could speak, what would it say to you? 3) Harvest from each image. Answer these questions for each image separately. I am, I want, I need What is your learning? What have you harvested from this process? What does each part of you need? Deepen this process by using my Tapping Meditation for integrating polarities I am on a mission to help sensitive souls connect with their inner truth and inner wisdom. To connect with purpose and dharma. We need you now more than ever!

This Week's Intention: This is an important cycle of self inquiry. Lean towards your challenges, pains, and hardships. There is something profound and important surfacing. Don't resist your awakening- even though it feels uncomfortable. We are inside the eclipse portal, which lasts until the solar eclipse on February 26th. This delicate two week period between lunar and solar eclipses requires a softening and leaning in to the emotional body. With Venus exalted right now, feelings are extra strong anyway. What are you noticing about your emotions, needs and beliefs? What stories are keeping you in the dark, in the shadows? Sun has just shifted to Aquarius as of Sunday the 12th. Sun moves to Aquarius at 07:46 am MST, joining the restructuring planet, Ketu here. This is a healing transit, if you choose to look closely at your challenges, setbacks and obstacles. Resistance to your darkness will provoke more challenges, so best to surrender and lean in. The soul and the ego are going through a transformation in the cycle to come, which lasts until March 14th. Read more about Sun in Aquarius Monday, February 13th Moon in 3rd tithi Tritiya Just as Monday begins, Moon shifts to Virgo, joining retrograde Jupiter here. Mercury and Venus give their direct gaze, while Saturn offers a stern stare from Sagittarius. Plant your seeds and visions, but make sure you back them up with clear action steps. Moon transits Uttaraphalguni the majority of the day. Sun and the ancestors require your focus and attention. Relationships and channeling your creative life force energy effectively, will appease the ancestral spirits. Don't lose sight of your goals, visions and highest purpose. Late evening, Moon shifts to Hasta. The light is dawning and Savitr arrives to support you. Face your shadows so the light can emerge. Tuesday, February 14th Moon in 4th tithi Chaturthi Moon continues through Virgo and Hasta nakshatra today, enlivening Savitr, who brings the dawn. Light is coming, shining on your darkness and shadows. This can be a painful process, but don't push it away. Pay attention to what is illuminated, what needs to be honored and addressed. It's time to face the parts of yourself that keep shining down, instead of shining up. It's time to take a radical look at how you negate your power, purpose and needs. Stop playing small, start stepping up. What needs to change in order for you to awaken your full potential and your desires? Today is Valentine's day for many. Honor yourself with self care, self love, self compassion and loving kindness. Spread the love. Wednesday, February 15th Moon in 5th tithi Panchami Moon arrives in Chitra nakshatra, and conjuncts retrograde Jupiter exactly. Precision, focus and extreme attention to detail arrives. Channel this effectively so the critic doesn't get out of control. Saturn, Venus and Mars give their exact gaze, intensifying the feelings of imperfection. Notice how this story keeps you from taking empowered action, trusting your steps and keeping yourself on track. Moon shifts to Libra midday, and Mars continues to give drishti to the Moon. Get honest about the shadow work that is necessary in order to clear the old disempowering mental thought patterns and stories. Where are you stuck and losing motivation? Where are you confused and misaligned with your intentions? What is the story connected to this? Use my Tapping Meditation to step into your power more fully. Thursday, February 16th Moon in 6th tithi Sashthi Just as Thursday begins, Moon arrives in Swati nakshatra, Rudra's domain. The wind god is associated with movement, swift change and momentum. Some will feel the power of change in positive ways, others will feel the sting of negative change. This is dependent upon your orientation to challenges and resources. During this eclipse portal, it is particularly important to look closely at your emotional body and the feelings surfacing. If you're not being fully honest with yourself, honest about all the emotions you've been stuffing into the dark corners of your being, you'll be facing them more acutely right now. Remember that your shadows are opportunities to create more light, but not without the necessary work it requires to transform darkness into light. Friday, February 18th Moon in 7th tithi Saptami Moon continues through Swati nakshatra until late afternoon. Ketu gives his restructuring gaze. Something is changing. Ride the waves of momentum and change. What are you creating? What is compelling you to move and transform? What action steps need to take place today- in order for you to activate and align with your goals? As Moon moves to Vishaka late afternoon, alliances and connections become more important. Reach out and ask for support, guidance and new resources. You can't succeed alone. Saturday, February 19th Moon in 8th tithi Ashtami Just as Saturday begins, Moon moves into Scorpio, its debilitation sign. Energy is moving slowly and requires your inward attention. Pause, check, notice. What emotions are surfacing right now? Pay close attention to the needs arriving. What you feel and what you need are intimately connected. As Moon continues through Vishaka until mid morning, resources, support, alliances and guidance become nonnegotiable. Reach out and ask for help. This is especially important as Moon moves into Anuradha nakshatra next. The capacity to which you ask for support and make connections, will determine your success and nourishment in the coming days and weeks. Where are you self isolating and pushing away the very things you need? Reach out to friends if you need a mirror. Ask them for a reminder of what needs to shift. Important transformation is taking place, allow yourself to unfold. Sunday, February 20th Moon in 9th tithi Navami The week ends at a still point. Make it a priority to land, pause and listen to your inner landscape. Lean closer to emotions and inner challenges. You need new resources, support and guidance. What is missing? What is working? What needs to change? Late morning, Moon moves to Jyeshtha nakshatra, Indra's domain. There is strength and power available today- especially with the mental body. This potency needs to be directed properly or it will be all-consuming. Clean up the mind, the stories, perceptions and unconscious mental body shadows that are keeping you stuck, unsuccessful and disconnected from your power and purpose. Use this Tapping Meditation to get clarity and step into your power more fully. Monday, February 21st Moon in 10th tithi Dashami The mind continues to strengthen today. Channel this power effectively or it will over-power you. Get clear on stories, illusions, perceptions and parts of your personal mythology that are keeping you stuck, in lack and unproductive. After noon, Moon leaps into the gandanta between Scorpio and Sagittarius, landing in Mula nakshatra, and in conjunction with Saturn. Rahu gives his gaze. There's a compression, a tightening and an overwhelm that arrives. This increases the chaos and uncertainty within. Notice how the chaos derails you, keeps you from taking effective, empowered action. Stay out of the mud and land closer to your body wisdom, your inner truth. Gather support, guidance, resources in order to help you strengthen your own inner wisdom. Don't succumb to the chaos, use it, channel it, harness that power in order to build momentum. * All timing used is Mountain Standard Time. When your voice isn't heard, when your gifts are never shared, when your power is never fully activated....where does your soul's purpose go?
What happens when your dharma is never offered to this world? When it is never fully awakened within you? When you refuse to change, heal and transform, so that you can rise and shine? When you never even step onto your dharmic path! This is called Adharma (that which is against dharma). It is the root cause of all suffering in this world. It is pain that is self-induced. Don't neglect your path. Don't avoid your inner wisdom. Don't negate your power, purpose and passion. Join my Dharma Foundations Course. There has been an overwhelming response to this course!! Register now to confirm your spot!! Last chance to join is February 10th!! ONLY a few spots left for Basic and Maha Support. This Week's Intention: Integrate, harmonize, align. Identify your highest truth and purpose. What do you need to do in order to fully activate this desire? Moon is waning this week, starting out in the 4th tithi (phase), ending the week in the 11th tithi, nearing emptiness. This week Mars finally shifts out of conjunction with Ketu and into Pisces, completing the Kala Sarpa yoga effects of the past many months. Extremes begin to find their integration and harmony now. Keep finding ways to align with your polarities and support their union. This is an ongoing dance, but the unique combination of planets we've experienced recently won't come again. Let the lessons find their way into completion for now. Two significant planets, Saturn and Jupiter, are in sandhi degrees right now- meaning they are in gaps between signs and in the 28 and 29 degree range (each sign spans 30 degrees in full). Saturn is preparing to shift into Sagittarius for the majority of 2017, causing immense changes, turmoil and transformation. Planets increase in power and strength as they leave a sign. The portal between water and fire is open, as is the gandanta (gap) that signifies challenges, chaos and uprooting. The coming year of Saturn in Sagittarius is upon us. Read more about the impact of this delicate transit. Jupiter goes retrograde on February 5th and won't go direct until June 9th, 2017, strengthening his impact and increasing his effects for many months. As he continues to transit Virgo, each of us is learning about our need for clarity and creativity right now. Read more about his impact on your rising sign. Did you miss my *free* Dharma Class?!

Monday, January 16th Moon in 4th tithi to 5th tithi Chaturthi to Panchami Near mid day, Moon arrives in the latter half of the Phalguni constellation, Uttaraphalguni. Aryaman rules this domain of the sky and is the other half of Bhaga's resources. Aryaman however brings resources through your long term commitments, providing sustainable results and comfort and support due to your dedication. He especially likes marriage commitments and contracts that bind and unify. Through the process of hard work, you receive the fruits of your efforts. Phala means fruits or results in Sanskrit, while guna means qualities. The qualities of your fruits are determined by your intentions and efforts. Clarify your actions and intentions today. make sure they are aligned with your highest purpose, truest needs and desires. Early evening, Moon moves to Virgo and joins Jupiter here. Receive the nourishment of wisdom and support. Seek resources and tools for greater results. Tuesday, January 17th Moon in 6th tithi Sashti Moon transits Virgo, conjunct Jupiter. Expansion, friendliness and wisdom are supported today. Just after noon, Moon shifts to Hasta nakshatra, bringing the support of Savitr to the day. He is the god of dawning, the light and awakening. What light is rising within you? Where do you feel this light within your body? Mars gives his gaze to the Moon and Jupiter, activating and supporting action steps as well as emotional aggravation. Put that power to good use. Wednesday, January 18th Moon in 7th tithi Saptami Early afternoon, Moon moves from Savitr's domain in the heavens, to Vishvakarma's domain. As the friendly Moon energy arrives in Chitra, a powerful alignment with action, karma, is stirred. A certain creative power and potential is activated. Take action steps today and find your clarity. Activate the karma yogi within! Align with your power and purpose, your dharma. What action can you take today that moves you one step closer to your dharma, to right action, to your soul's purpose? Thursday, January 19th Moon in 8th tithi Ashtami Just as Thursday begins, Moon arrives in Libra. The vacillation of this moveable air sign is too overwhelming for the constant change of the Moon. It needs more grounding and consistency to feel safe and comfortable. Ketu also gives his gaze to the Moon, which provokes sudden changes and instability in the coming days. There may be triggers that make you feel ungrounded and disconnected from your body. What do you need for grounding, safety and support today? As Moon shifts to Swati nakshatra early evening, the necessity for grounding is even more important. The winds of change are blowing. Don't get swept away in the currents. Sun is currently transiting Capricorn and Uttarashada, the domain of the Vishva Devas, or all-gods. Late evening, the Sun arrives in the 6 degree 40 range, which opens the portal of the 28th nakshatra, Abhijit. This nakshatra is considered a very spiritual portion of the heavens, which can support great visions, awakening and understanding. Sun will be in this domain until mid day on the 24th of January. The coming days are potent and ripe with potential. Stay close to Spirit. Meditate, move in nature, seek clarity and simplicity. Listen for messages and watch for omens from your inner and outer wisdom. Activate and align with your dharmic purpose. Did you miss my *free* Dharma Class?!

Friday, January 20th Moon in 9th tithi Navami Moon transits Libra and Swati nakshatra today, stirring movement, change and vacillation. The Moon needs more grounding, stability and holding to feel supported. What can you do to help yourself feel held, contained and connected? This pattern of disconnection and instability is very old. The addiction to chaos and turmoil is extremely compelling. The ultimate liberation, however, is being able to witness your storm, rather than succumb to its overwhelming and constant churning. Let the ocean of milk within you churn, but watch it carefully, rather than get stuck in its overpowering waves. Learn to surf and make friends with your inner currents. Today gives you practice. Late evening Moon moves to Vishaka nakshatra and your inner and outer duality will beckon for your attention. Integrate, align and harmonize polarities. Make peace with inner and outer opposition. Just as the day begins, Mars moves to Pisces, out of conjunction with the Ketu- who has brought sudden and sharp changes over the past few months. Mars in Pisces supports passion, creative and relational potency, as well as clarity with liberation. Expect momentum and courage with release and letting go, while strengthening your resolve, inner embers, passion and the fire of life. Endings naturally support openings. What are you ready to clear, release and let go of? Pisces is the final sign of the zodiac, while Mars is the passionate and fiery planet with a warrior spirit. This is a potent combination for going after your dreams. Read more about Mars in Pisces Saturday, January 21st Moon in 10th tithi Dashami Moon moves through Vishaka nakshatra and Libra the majority of the day, sparking the need for integration and harmony. This impacts relationships- with self and others. Clarify what you need and make sure your actions are aligned with your inner truth. Are you saying yes, when you really mean no? Plug energetic leaks and get clear on your boundaries. Clean up any communications that have been left unattended to. Be mindful of your anger and the aggression from others. What's yours and what is not? This is a powerful day to honor your inner wisdom and honor its messages. Notice where you merge too easily with others, rather than staying grounded within yourself. As Moon shifts to its debilitation sign, Scorpio, late in the day, it's even more vital to stay connected to your own inner knowing. Intuition strengthens. Are you listening? Late evening, Moon arrives in Anuradha nakshatra. Make friends with your inner realms. What is your soul's message to you? Mercury moves out of Mula nakshatra today, supporting more calm, harmony and creativity in the mind. The past many weeks of mental turmoil and chaos can find some calm now. Are you addicted to the chaos, or can you find the harmony within your mental body? The lack of clarity means you are resisting something. What inner truths are you resisting and refusing to align with? Sunday, January 22nd Moon in 11th tithi Ekadashi Moon transits Scorpio and Anuradha nakshatra, the "friendly star". Moon collides with Saturn in the coming days, begging you to attend to your body wisdom, emotions and undigested grief. Saturn is the planet of your grief, while Scorpio stirs your depths. As the Moon (your emotional body) mirrors these layers of your being right now, it's vital to allow your deeper inner waves to emerge. Where are you holding back? Where are you resisting? Let your body be the portal, the entry point, for leaning in. Listen and look. Pause to check. What is your emotional body sharing with you? Honor its wisdom and allow the release to take place. Resisting will only intensify the pains. Reach out to others and ask for their support and holding, but don't forget to make friends with your inner realms with silence and stillness. Monday, January 23rd Moon in 12th tithi Dvadasi Just as Monday arrives, Moon moves to Jyeshtha nakshatra, Indras portion of the sky. There is force, strength and power here- especially connected to the mind. Moon conjuncts exactly with Saturn late evening, instigating deeper, more painful emotions. Are you bypassing this or leaning closer? Let your body wisdom hold you as you surf the waves. Meditation will soften the mind today, while physical body movement will support emotional release. As the king of the gods, Indra supports alignment with dharma and right action. Where are you holding yourself back? What inner truths are you resisting? Why might you refuse to activate your power and purpose? Courageously lean into your fear and listen carefully. * All timing is Mountain Standard Time. Love what you're reading?

Be silent and listen." ~Rumi Moon is waning and the week begins with Moon in the 7th tithi, Saptami, half way through the dark half cycle. This phase of the Moon is Indra's domain, the god of the gods. His weapon of choice is a thunderbolt as he rules the rain, opening the clouds and controlling the nourishment of the earth. Consequently he is connected to powerful dharmic works. This is a Tikshna nakshatra- sharp and dreadful. In the USA, the Electoral College votes on Monday, the 19th. The Moon is under strong illusion today, while a theme of harsh action, confusion and Mental reversals arrive. Interesting timing for the vote to take place. Winter Solstice (for the Northern Hemisphere) occurs this week, which is a turning point in our orientation to the light- both inner and outer. For the Southern Hemisphere, there will be an increase of darkness, inward awareness. For the Northern Hemisphere, an increase of light begins, which begins to shift our attention externally. Themes of integration and balance continue this week as the Kala Sarpa Yoga effects awaken once again for a two week period of heightened extremes and deeper shadow work. .

Moon continues through Leo, receiving gaze from Ketu, Mars, and Saturn, while in conjunction with Rahu. There is a lack of clarity and certainty about action steps today. Don't force outcomes, but take thoughtful action steps regardless. Moon is waning and half way through the emptying cycle now. Mars will break the Kala Sarpa yoga on the 28th of December, but won't officially leave Aquarius until January 20th. There is still extreme ups and downs, polarities and binary energy at play. Integration and harmonizing opposites and extremes is vital right now. As Moon transits Purvaphalguni, Bhaga, the god of resources and material enjoyment is enlivened. There's a tendency to overspend and over indulge right now. Watch how your shadows are impacting excess and extremes. This includes finances, eating habits, food, drugs and alcohol, as well as your relationships and behaviors. Seek simplicity, gentleness with yourself and others, as well as clarity with boundaries, and needs. Find more stability- inner and outer- rather than overwhelm through pushing or forcing outcomes and agendas. Mercury goes Retrograde in Sagittarius early this morning. This lengthy transit of Mercury in Sagittarius will last until February 3rd, an unusually long dance of forward and backwards for this swift moving planet. Mercury will retrograde on December 19th for roughly three weeks, until January 8th. This prolongs his stay in the fiery sign of Sagittarius, who is fortunately a friend. Retrograde planets increase the strength of the planet and its indications, expressing themselves more as the nodes do- with excess, confusion and intensity. This transit of Mercury impacts the mental body, the mind, stirring a change process that impacts relationships, money, the feminine and creative powers. The cycle ahead supports change towards nourishment, fluidity and ease. An ability to arrive in the love and stay oriented towards the heart is possible- with courage and commitment. Get clear on what works for you and what doesn't. Communicate your needs authentically and purposefully, but through loving kindness. Work towards clarity with your inner authority and notice when you go against your needs out of fear or a misuse of your power. Read more about Mercury in Sagittarius Tuesday, December 20th Moon in 8th tithi Ashtami Just as Tuesday arrives, Moon shifts into Uttaraphalguni, Aryaman's domain. Late morning, Moon moves to Virgo, joining Jupiter here and receiving gaze from Mars. Try not to force action steps, but be diligent with your choices and momentum. As an Aditya, Aryaman, provides resources- specifically to support the health and well being of the body. This connection to the physical body is a way to honor the ancestors and carry forward one's lineage. Aryaman also supports marriage and that which allows a relationship to be sustained, such as commitment, children and the inner work required to heal and grow together. This nakshatra shows a connection to repaying the ancestors. Honor, respect, connect and give gratitude to your ancestors today. Bring offerings to your altar and attend to your physical body as the maha altar of sustaining the legacy you are alive to bring forth. Notice omens, symbols and messages arriving from your ancestors. Mars moves to Satabisha nakshatra, moving closer to Ketu, who is still transiting this domain of the sky. There is deep healing possible, but only by cracking open and looking at the depth of your darkness. Do so with diligence, yet with gentleness and loving kindness, or there will be resistance to fully arriving in your truth, light and wisdom. The coming weeks provoke sparks of awakening, albeit through possibly painful and challenging encounters. Stay connected to body, breath and your inner truth. Seek integration, harmony, and above all, love. Wednesday, December 21st Moon in 9th tithi Navami Moon moves through Virgo and into Hasta nakshatra early morning. Savitr rules this constellation, bringing the dawning, the light, through greater wisdom and awareness. There is a new dawn arriving today. Look for the moments of awareness, move towards your truth, connect with your body and breath, find your grounding cord. Ask for guidance and support to help you unfold your truth. The first day of winter for the Northern Hemisphere (first day of Summer for the Southern Hemisphere) arrives on December 21st at 03:44 am MST. For those of us beginning the silence of winter, Solstice marks a powerful turning point. It is the darkest day of the year with the least amount of sunlight, creating the longest night. It is a still point in the season, inviting deep silence, pause and reflection on the past seasons. This is a powerful time to attend to release, letting go and purging of emotions and grief that have been undigested. Use this time to let go of your past cycles, that which has been stored in the bodies- in order to cultivate more space for the coming cycles. More light is to come! The days will continue to increase in length and strength, inviting in more brightness in the days and months to come. For the Southern Hemisphere, there will be an increase of darkness, inward awareness. For the Northern Hemisphere, an increase of light begins, which begins to shift our attention externally. Themes of integration and balance continue as the Kala Sarpa Yoga effects heighten extremes and deeper shadow work. .

Join me for a free Winter Solstice Web Class ::: Please RSVP to join the list and receive access to the recording: swatijrjyotish@gmail.com Thursday, December 22nd Moon in 10th tithi Dashami Mid morning, Moon arrives in Chitra nakshatra, moving into exact conjunction with Jupiter who is transiting this constellation as well. Vishvakarma rules this portion of the sky, bringing his creative powers to life. He is a powerful creator who supports the construction and creative process intimately. He likes action steps and grande plans, and he will support bringing your goals to life with diligent action steps. Chitra is ruled by Mars, the soldier, which expresses the power and focus possible here. Service and karma yoga are particularly aligned with this star's intention. Make your steps count today. Are they aligned with your highest truth, your dharmic purpose? Let everything else go. Allow dharma to be your highest calling, your highest truth. Organize around this. Late evening, Moon shifts to Libra. Integrate, harmonize, align. Friday, December 23rd Moon in 11th tithi Ekadashi The need for integrating polarities and extremes is enlivened today as Moon moves through the sign of balance, Libra. Late morning, Moon arrives in Swati nakshatra and great movement and momentum is stirred. Vayu, the wind god, rules this domain, offering change, illumination, dharma and a lack of grounding. Swati nakshatra has an easily changing nature and often a lack of grounding, landing and support. Vayu is a powerful force that, when on your side, can carry you great distances, like the wind in your sails. Can you ground even as you move? Can you land in your breath, even with such momentum? Can you pause and check, even when the winds are carrying you quickly? Don't get lost in the big gusts of wind, harness it and use it as your strength. Saturday, December 24th Moon in 11th to 12th tithi Ekadashi to Dvadashi The first half of the day is devoted to Swati's movement and momentum. Stay grounded as much as possible. Mid day Moon moves to Vishaka nakshatra and the dual god Indragni brings greater need for integration, harmony and balance between opposing forces. What needs to activate in order for more co-creation within your self and with others? Indra and Agni remind us that when multiple forces combine, the power is stronger, more sustainable. This process of integration and harmonizing is supported through an alchemical transformation process, as opposing forces come together. Notice your resistance to syncing with your inner power. Who are you when you say yes to your power, fully? Where are you saying no to your highest truth, light and power? How can you step towards your empowerment with more clarity and ease? Sunday, December 25th Moon in 12th tithi Dvadashi Late morning, Moon arrives in Scorpio, its debilitation sign and into conjunction with Saturn, planet of grief. The next few days require slowness, stillness and introspection, especially as the new Moon approaches. Continue to find integration, alignment and harmony between opposing forces, as Vishaka rules the day. Late afternoon, Moon shifts into Anuradha nakshatra, Mitra's domain. As an Aditya, Mitra brings resources and support- usually through friendship and alliances. Who and what are you aligning with? Anuradha can get overly focused on details at times, so try to stay with the big picture. For many, it is Christmas Day. Seek harmony and connection today, while honoring your grief and emotions intentionally. Spend time in silence, with body and breath. Set intentions for being in relationship with self and others at this time. What do you need to feel supported and honored? Monday, December 26th Moon in 13th tithi Trayodasi Moon continues through its debilitation sign, Scorpio, and through Anuradha nakshatra. Mitra brings deeper connections through friendships, alliances and support. As an Aditya, he is a form of the Sun, bringing resources in the form of relationships. With Moon conjuncting Saturn right now, there is a need to look at grief, personal and ancestral, that may be hindering your ability to connect on deeper levels. There is an uprooting taking place that will allow you to release and let go of parts of yourself that are no longer serving you. This includes relationships and connections that are not aligned with your hightest needs. Allow the release to take place. Why might you be resisting the letting go? Who are you when you no longer have painful relationships in your life? What does your life look like when you are aligned with those who fully love and honor you? Early evening Moon arrives in Jyeshtha nakshatra and Indra brings his strength, tenacity and clarity. Pause and check in with your inner needs. Tuesday, December 27th Moon in 14th tithi Chaturdasi Moon moves into exact conjunction with Saturn today, provoking grief, hardship and pain to rise to the surface. Both planets are navigating Jyeshtha nakshatra right now, Indra's domain. Let grief release, find channels to let the emotional body move and stay close to the physical body. Saturn is also the container, the body, of the cosmic self. As the Moon magnifies the grief of Saturn today and the dynamics of the mental body in Jyeshtha nakshatra, it's important to not get lost in the confusion and overwhelm. Stay close to your body and breath, in order to harvest your needs. Find stability within the body, but surf the emotional body waves diligently. Get clear on what is mind stuff (chitta vritti) and what is emotions. These bodies are very different and have very different needs, but so often get intertwined, sparking confusion, intensified pain and suffering. What does your emotional body need right now? What does your mental body need? What does your physical body need? What does your spiritual body need? * All timing is Mountain Standard Time.

Gather insights for your healing path and health challenges, shadow work and your grief process, finances and relationships. Clarity, resources, guidance and support are life changing!

This means that I will have fewer single session openings and online offerings. Please book your session now to insure that I can fit you in. *** This Week's Intention: There is a deep calling within to integrate polarities, opposites and imbalances. Listen carefully to your conflicts and extremes. Honor both your shadows and light. Notice where you are negating and resisting your pain, by-passing instead of integrating. This is a rare week with no extra planetary transits, which will allow integration and a settling of current energies to take place. Moon continues to wane, passing through the half way point in this cycle just as the week begins. Once the Moon moves into Purvaphalguni nakshatra and past Rahu on Monday, the Kala Sarpa yoga impacts arrive once again for another round of release, letting go and sudden changes. The purpose of these highs and lows is ultimately to create a new set point of stability and integration within. Keep grounding, landing closer to the body, breath and nature. These resources will help you ride the waves and weather the storms.
Saturn and Mercury are in exact conjunction this week. The mind will be feeling the pressure. It is important to be releasing grief from the mental body right now. Pain and challenges, old stories and personal mythology, will be activated and intensified. Track the stories consciously. What does this old programming tell you about your needs? Support this process of release through tapping (EFT), embodiment (ground in the body), meditation (release the mental imprints) and by allowing grief to flow from the emotional body (cry, shout, sound, etc). This will continue to be important in the coming days. Last chance to join my monthly Jyotish Astrology Mastermind! Get the Details Monday, November 21st Moon in 8th tithi Ashtami Moon continues through Magha for the majority of the day, sparking sudden and magnanimous changes. The ancestors rule the day, so be sure to honor them and pay your respects. Gratitude is the greatest medicine and a balm for the heart. Let Spirit and your lineage know what you honor them for and why you are grateful for their support. Look for messages and signs that they are listening to you. As Moon shifts late afternoon, to Purvaphalguni, Moon also moves to the inside of Rahu, re-starting the Kala Sarpa yoga effects impacting extreme highs and lows for all right now. Expect confusion, uncertainty and sudden, unexpected changes in the coming weeks. As Moon moves towards the tail of the serpent, Ketu, this is a cycle of release, loss and letting go. Read more about the impact of Kala Sarpa yoga right now. Tuesday, November 22nd Moon in the 9th tithi Navami Moon continues through Purvaphalguni today, invoking Venus and Bhaga. Comforts, resources and pleasures are supported today. Can you receive? Where are you blocked or resistant to receiving? Mars and Ketu give their gaze to the Moon and Rahu, increasing emotional outbursts and big feelings. Expect sudden emotions, likely anger and passion, to arrive. Saturn's gaze brings an undertone of pain and grief. Notice what the root of your emotions are actually telling you. What is the underlying need? Safety and stability? Witnessing and holding? Honoring and supporting? Check in and listen to your inner wisdom. Relationships are vulnerable today so gather inner resiliency and establish healthy boundaries if you are feeling depleted. As evening sets in, Moon shifts to the latter Phalguni star, Uttaraphalguni. Sun and Aryaman rule this portion of the sky, bringing a focus on health, vitality and sustainable connections. Attend to your relationships- starting with self. Harvest from within. What do you need to land more fully within? Wednesday, November 23rd Moon in 10th tithi Dashami Just as Wednesday begins, Moon arrives in Virgo, joining Jupiter here, yet outside of any direct gaze from the other planets. Moon gets a touched by the nourishment and support of Jupiter, even as Jupiter feels the challenges of its Virgo transit. Jupiter is currently transiting Hasta nakshatra, the Moon's constellation of insight and awakening. Expect dharmic insights and understanding today. Pause and listen carefully to your inner wisdom. If you don't carve out time for this pause, you will likely miss these important messages arriving. Wednesday is Mercury's day and Moon is moving through his sign, Virgo. Mercury loves Nature and meditation. Spend time with green things an soothe the mind. Get quiet and honor your inner stillness. Late in the evening, Moon moves into Hasta nakshatra and into close conjunction with Jupiter. Attend to the dawning within. Saturn and Mercury are in exact conjunction today. The mind will be feeling the pressure. It is important to be releasing grief from the mental body right now. Support this process through tapping (EFT), embodiment (ground in the body), meditation (release the mental imprints) and allowing grief to flow from the emotional body. This will continue to be important in the coming days. Thursday, November 24th Moon in 11th tithi Ekadashi Moon conjuncts Jupiter today as both planets travel through Virgo and Hasta nakshatra. Outside of the gaze from the other planets, the ruling planet of Virgo, Mercury, is feeling the pressure of Saturn today as both transit Scorpio. The mind feels the grief today especially. Do what you can to stay out of the mind and connect with body and breath. Watch the stories, the imaginal, the mental chatter. Take your power back! Detach from the illusion, while staying true to your feelings and needs. Hasta nakshatra is the constellation of awakening, sight and seeing more clearly. Savitr brings his wisdom of insight and awareness, especially activating the power of the hands. It is a powerful day of creation and increasing a sense of purpose. Today is Thanksgiving for the USA. May we use the intention of gratitude and love to awaken, inspire and activate. Just before midnight, Moon shifts into Chitra nakshatra and a certain strength to build and activate is enlivened. Ride the wave of inspiration into tomorrow. Friday, November 25th Moon in 12th tithi Dvadasi Vishvakarma rules the day, as does Mars. There is an action oriented energy expressing itself. Create, work, activate, clarify! Build through your action steps. Moon receives gaze from Ketu early afternoon as she moves into Libra. There is a cutting and releasing taking place. What are you letting go of? This theme is activated right now as Moon continues to wane, nearing emptiness. Relationships continue to provoke your attention. Find integration, harmony and balance through the emotional body. Release and empty, let your inner waters flow and purge. Attend to the sacred space you are creating within through conscious awareness. Last chance to join my monthly Jyotish Astrology Mastermind! Get the Details Saturday, November 26th Moon in 13th tithi Trayodasi In the early hours of the morning, Moon shifts into Swati nakshatra, Vayu's domain. There is swift movement and change taking place today. Can you feel the currents? Attend to the breath and your inner prana as this sets the tone for inner landscape. As the outer landscape shifts and changes, stay rooted, grounded and connected to your essence. Ketu continues his gaze upon the Moon today which brings sudden and spontaneous awareness, insight and forced release. Cry, uproot the pain, grieve, purge, release. Relationships bring emotion to the surface. Allow your inner waters to cleanse you. Sunday, November 27th Moon in 14th tithi Chaturdasi Mid morning on Sunday, Moon shifts into Vishaka nakshatra. Dual gods Indra and Agni, bring a need for alliances, support and co-creation. Jupiter is ruling planet of this constellation, which helps you align with resources and spiritual support as well. Gather, connect and find like minds to nourish you. Today is a reminder that everyone must serve and be in service on some level. There is always a higher power to reconcile with. Power increases when we gather in relationship with others. Find your tribe and say yes to more nourishment in numbers. For some, there will also be a need to let go of old relationships that no longer serve and nourish you. You may recognize that the nourishment you need is not available from the people you've been in relationship with. Get clear on what you need for wholeness. Integrate body and breath, mind and emotions, spirit and being. Where do you feel the integration point within you? Monday, November 28th Moon in 15th tithi Amavasya Moon arrives in Scorpio just as Monday begins. This is the day of Moon and we are also on the edge of the new Moon as well. Scorpio is the sign of debilitation for the Moon, which requests an even deeper and introspective new Moon to arrive. The emotional waves will be strong, so bring your attention to the emotional body very intentionally right now. Late morning, Moon moves into Anuradha nakshatra, conjoining the Sun and awakening the conjunction of Saturn and Mercury as well. There is an emptiness occurring with body, mind and emotions right now. Seek resources to support the release, while grounding and stabilizing your self for maximum integration to take place with this process. Anuradha is Mitra's nakshatra. He is an Aditya- which means he offers resources. His gifts come through friendship and alliances. Through companionship and allies, Mitra supports expansion and increases through your connections. Often Anuradha will bring the experience of being in the right place at the right time and resources from well connected friendships. Reach out and align with your friends for maximum gain. Notice where you are staying small, dis-empowered and resistant to connection. Late morning Mercury moves to a new sign. Just as the month comes to a close, Mercury transits into Sagittarius and into Mula nakshatra for an extended stay on November 28th. The entire transit will last until February 3rd, an unusually lengthy dance of forward and backwards for this swift moving planet. Mercury will retrograde on December 19th for roughly three weeks, until January 8th. This prolongs his stay in the fiery sign of Sagittarius, who is fortunately a friend. Retrograde planets increase the strength of the planet and its indications, expressing themselves more as the nodes do- with excess, confusion and intensity. Read more about Mercury in Sagittarius I still have a couple sessions available for December. This is the last chance to book a session with me until later next year. Please connect with me immediately to confirm. Get support with dharma, clarify your purpose and life path. Gather insights for your healing path and health challenges, shadow work and your grief process, finances and relationships. Clarity, resources, guidance and support are life changing! Book A Session This Week's Intention: It takes courage to softly land in your heart with the ferocity of a lion. Integrate opposing forces and don't negate your grief. Keep it moving and activate from your emotional body wisdom. The week begins with a full Moon in Aries, a sign of head on focus and strategy. Transition and transformation abounds as Moon moves through Krittika nakshatra. Agni brings certain burning, clarifying and release in the cycle ahead. You can be sure a sense of inner clarity is coming. Get ready with action steps and awaken to your inner yes. Get in right relationship with your inner masculine and don't settle for mediocrity. Get idealistic! Get nourished! Get empowered! Sun finally moves out of debilitation early in the week and Venus will shift out of the challenging nakshatra of Mula later this week as well. Some smoother days are coming, but diligence with depth, darkness and healing is still required. Don't neglect your grief work. Monday, November 14th Moon in 15th to 1st tithi Purnima to Pratipad Moon shifts to Krittika nakshtara early morning, just as the Moon swells to fullness. In the early morning hours, the full Moon arrives at its peak. Full Moon is at 06:53am MST on November 14th while Moon transits Aries and Krittika nakshatra. Agni, the ultimate transformational energy, encourages change in the cycle to come. At the time of the full Moon, Sun is at the edge of Libra, still debilitated, vulnerable yet strengthening the implications of its weakness. Relationships, harmony and balance continue to feel the instability and conflict most directly. The coming cycle will encourage deeper integration of polarities and opposing forces. Moon is also poised at the edge of Aries and is sandhi (in the gap between signs) at the time of the Full Moon. The emotional body is begging for transformation, release and change at this time. This will likely be felt on the emotional body level through anger, rage, frustration and violence. What does this anger actually express? What needs are not being met? The divine feminine is calling out loudly and aggressively for change right now. The coming cycle will provoke clarity and laser focus about what works and what doesn't work for your nourishment and support. Find ways to integrate and harmonize opposing forces, imbalances with polarities- especially the masculine and feminine. Read more about the Full Moon in Aries The Moon continues through Krittika nakshatra today, but moves to Taurus shortly after the full Moon. As the emotional body moves into Taurus, it becomes exalted, increasing the strength of feelings, emotions, expression and the swelling of the inner waters. Saturn, Mercury and Jupiter give their gaze to the Moon in the coming days, provoking a greater need for balance, harmony and integration. Get in the body, meditate, release emotions, stay out of the mental body stories, seek nourishment through wisdom and understanding. Don't miss my transit reports, horoscopes, Moon wisdom and more!

Tuesday, November 15th Moon in 2nd tithi Dvitiya Just as Tuesday begins, Moon shifts into Rohini nakshatra and into mulitrikona degrees. There is emotional body strength but waves will be high. Saturn, Mercury and Jupiter give their gaze to the Moon now. Expansion and contraction request integrated balance- especially for the mental and emotional bodies. Creativity increases as well as nourishment. Goddess Saraswati and Lord Brahma request creative activation and manifestation. Say yes and receive. Align with your inner knowing and your needs, then take action. Discomfort is a reminder to lean in closer. Move closer to your emotions and find the needs underlying your scarcity story. Who are you without your story of lack? Just before midnight, Moon shifts to Mrigashirsha nakshatra and the divine nectar of the Moon awakens. Sun moves to Scorpio on November 15th at 17:24, bringing more light and strength with it. However, this will translate as more inner light and strength due to the depth and mysticism of Scorpio. Turn your focus inward and deepen your awareness. Shine your light within. Sun joins Mercury and Saturn here, which is challenging for both Saturn and Sun as they are not friendly towards each other. The Sun purifies all that it touches, through heat, fire and agni. Saturn is old, slow and cold. He is set in his ways and requires steady, consistent steps in order for progress to be made. This opposes the forceful and powerful energy of the Sun. The challenge will be integrating the hard parts of yourself this month, the pieces that are stubborn, resistant, and that which refuses to change within your personal mythology. This process will require you are willing to bravely look at parts of yourself that have been hidden and in the dark far too long. Sun will shine the light. Will you be willing to see? Read more about Sun in Scorpio Wednesday, November 16th Moon in 3rd tithi Tritiya Moon continues through the last pada of Taurus and Mrigashirsha nakshatra as the day begins. Mrigashirsha nakshatra is Soma's constellation, the divine nectar of the Moon. This powerful lunar amrita is the ultimate healing resource. The Moon is still large right now and full of light. Soak up the rays of Soma. Clarify and activate your needs. Find resources and gather support. The nourishment abounds! Are you able to receive? Emotional resistance will keep you from feeling well nourished. Let your inner waters flow. As Moon enters Gemini late morning, Venus gives her gaze to the Moon as does Ketu. More flow, increased creativity and connection is available right now, as well as sudden change and surprises. Communicate, express, create, co-create. Activate through your creative powers! Early evening, Moon shifts to the challenging energy of Ardra nakshatra. Stand in your strength and power, but make sure you're in right-relationship with it. Thursday, November 17th Moon in 4th tithi Chaturthi As Moon moves through Ardra nakshatra today, Rudra brings his energy of emotional opening- usually through aggressive and tumultuous upheaval. Expect the wrath of the masculine to be unleashed today. Are you in right-relationship with your inner masculine? Relationships may feel volatile as a result today. Keep clear boundaries and honor your needs for safety, clarity, nourishment and empowerment. Veils are being removed. Stay connected to your body and breath. Seek balance between masculine and feminine. Check your ego as it will likely be rooted in righteous indignation. Sun in Scorpio gains strength in degrees now, increasing the solar and masculine energies as well as the necessity to address the grief in the body and the soul. Early evening, Moon shifts into Punarvasu nakshatra and the abundant nourishment of Aditi arrives to soothe the challenges of the day. Land in her goodness, her soft holding, and allow yourself to receive the comforts of MA. Don't miss my transit reports, horoscopes, Moon wisdom and more! Get A Membership! Special Pricing ends Sunday November 21st. Friday, November 18th Moon in 5th tithi Panchami Moon continues through Punarvasu and Gemini today, while Aditi brings her worldly support and resources. The challenge is to accept her wisdom. Unify power and peace. Where is the stillness within you? The calm beyond the storm? This is your unity. Beyond right and wrong and the disturbance of the critic. Enter your inner resiliency and find you well of reserve- your sacred, inner flowing waters. Before noon, Moon shifts to its own sign, Cancer. Move closer to your heart and land in your inner wisdom, in truth and light. Mars will give his direct gaze to the Moon in the coming days, which instigates aggressive emotions, anger, passion and hurt. Move closer to the challenge and listen carefully. Your emotional body has a message for you. A part of you feels wronged. A part of you is seeking re-connection to your own inner knowing, your source. A part of you is yearning for self empowerment. Align with your purpose and truth. Be honest with your needs and say yes to your heart wisdom. Late afternoon, Moon shifts to Pushya nakshatra. Integrate your light and dark pieces. You must lean closer to your grief in order for it to move. Where are you resisting your shadows, your hurt and pain? Dive deeply into your healing work and allow the grief to move. Venus finally moves out of the challenging Mula nakshatra- after almost two weeks of forced letting go and chaos. This has especially impacted relationships, money, comfort and health. As Moon shifts into PurvaAshada, there is greater support from the essence of Venus. Read more about Venus in Sagittarius Saturday, November 19th Moon in 6th tithi Sashthi Moon continues through its own sign, Cancer, and through Pushya nakshatra. Brihaspati and the "nourishing star" bring support through sustenance. Physical support is essential today so attend to the body, breath and embodiment diligently. Exalted Mars gives his direct gaze to the Moon which can impact the emotions greatly. Express anger in cathartic ways and release emotions with intention so they don't stagnate. Touch the heart and notice what's on the other side of the intensity. See if you can find compassion and loving-kindness, even gratitude, mixed in with the pain. Late afternoon, Moon shifts to Ashlesha nakshatra and Sarpa's energy slides in. Mental body intensifies and requires taming. Continue to unleash the anger, but channel it consciously. Keep coming back to the body, even though the mind will be grabbing your attention. Breathe. Sunday, November 20th Moon in 7th tithi Saptami Ashlesha and Sarpa energy rules the day. Deception, illusion, confusion and uncertainty increases, with a taint of aggression and sharpness. Soften the edges with inner awareness and movement. It's important to get closer to your body and not get stuck in stories, thoughts, chitta vritti (mind stuff) and the imaginal. Get in control of the mind and affirm your inner knowing by dropping into heart. Early afternoon, Moon makes the tricky leap into Magha nakshatra and into Leo. This is a gandanta between water and fire, which makes the passage especially challenging. Magha is a fierce constellation that requests bold and daring actions, choices and behaviors. Ruled by Ketu, it can bring sudden changes and shifts. Ketu is also giving his gaze to the Moon over the next few days, as Moon conjuncts Rahu closely in Leo. Saturn's gaze slows the emotional body and increases the experiences of grief and sadness. Expect sudden emotional tidal waves and emotional body releases. Your job is to just surrender.

Get the Details Monday, November 21st Moon in 8th tithi Ashtami Moon continues through Magha for the majority of the day, sparking sudden and magnanimous changes. The ancestors rule the day, so be sure to honor them and pay your respects. Gratitude is the greatest medicine and a balm for the heart. Let Spirit and your lineage know what you honor them for and why you are grateful for their support. Look for messages and signs that they are listening to you. As Moon shifts late afternoon, to Purvaphalguni, Moon also moves to the inside of Rahu, re-starting the Kala Sarpa yoga effects impacting extreme highs and lows for all right now. Expect confusion, uncertainty and sudden, unexpected changes in the coming weeks. As Moon moves towards the tail of the serpent, Ketu, this is a cycle of release, loss and letting go.

Diwali also begins this week, which honors and celebrates the abundance of Lakshmi, her wealth and vitality. As the week begins, Moon leaps through a challenging gandanta (gap) which triggers a powerful week ahead. Watch ego, father and masculine issues as well as your power in the coming days. Debilitated Sun and Mercury are in a fierce conjunction the entire week. The mind is focused and critical at times. Simultaneously, Venus and Saturn are also in tight conjunction this week. Pain, darkness and grief may rise to the surface. Be gentle with relationships and ask for extra support in the coming days. You'll need it, but may resist it simultaneously. Monday, October 24th Moon in 10th tithi Dashami Late morning, Moon leaps through the tricky gandanta (gap) between Cancer and Leo. The Moon will feel as though it's jumping from water to fire. Once in Leo, Moon enters Magha nakshatra, which connects to the ancestors- specifically the father's lineage. There's a certain magnanimous flavor to this star. It's bold, powerful and showy. As Moon arrives in Leo, it joins Rahu here as well. Tomorrow, it will move to the inside of Rahu, re-starting the Kala Sarpa yoga effects taking place on and off until January. Today, allow a final release to take place. Get clear on needs, action steps and choices. Commit and land within your power place. Allow your heart and feelings to guide you.

Once Moon shifts to Purvaphalguni, Bhaga lends his abundance, comfort and support through resources and relationships. He is famous for offering sensuality and sexuality, as well as the pleasures of life. Right now, these needs will require you dive deeply into your unconscious terrain and clean up resistance, shadow and hidden grief. Make more space for the pleasures of life by clearing out your inner realms. This is a time of deep release, albeit painful at times. What are you inviting in? What is sacred enough to be in your life? As Moon moves into Bhaga's nakshatra, he will be in exact conjunction with Rahu. Once Moon shifts to the inside of the serpent's head early evening, a two week period of Kala Sarpa yoga begins once again. Since Moon and the other planets are moving towards Ketu, I'm considering this an Kala Amrita yoga. Deep liberation is available right now, but only if you allow the process to fully take place. Gather resource, support and guidance for deep awakening. Let go, let god. Debilitated Sun and Mercury are also in exact conjunction at this time. Mind is sharp, yet very inward and introspective.

He connects to the 9th house, which brings luck, resources and fortune through dharma and right action. Spend time working on relationships today. Resources will come when you attend consciously to how you relate to others. Everyone is a mirror of yourself. Notice who walks in. Late afternoon, Moon shifts to the latter half of the Phalguni constellation and Aryaman brings another level of support and resources. As an Aditya, his assistance comes through sustenance, health and physical strength. He also supports lasting unions and upholding lineage through marriage and children.

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

* Grief Portrait /// Layer 3 This Week's Intention: The body becomes a vital resource this week- for gaining support, stability and grounding. Inner waves will be choppy, extreme and overwhelming. Get firmly embodied- so you can fully land in the "now". Moon is waning, becoming new late in the week. The sacred Vedic celebration of Navaratri begins with the empty Moon, marking a powerful transition point between seasons. The Divine Mother is awakening within all of us- offering clearing, cutting and transformation. We are experiencing a powerful transition point. (More details below). As Moon moves past Rahu mid week, the Kala Sarpa yoga effects intensify. This will last for another two weeks, until Moon moves to the other side of Ketu and Aquarius. The dance of Kala Sarpa yoga continues until January. Expect extremes- highs and lows. It is a time of learning how to navigate choppy waters and find your inner shore. Please follow along as I share resources for working with grief and big emotions. Join my *free* class here. Monday, September 26th Moon in 12th tithi Dvadashi Moon shifts to Ashlesha nakshatra just after Monday begins. The domain of Sarpa enlivens with depth and mysticism. Awakening is available, if you are willing to attend to your inner darkness and navigate challenging territory within. Growth and wisdom come from leaning into the unknown parts of yourself. What terrifies you, what provokes uncertainty and confusion? What resources and support do you need in order to feel more held and safe with your healing journey? There's an integration and harmony arriving with your mind and emotions. Activate and align with your polarities. Harness the wisdom from both the challenges and the resources that you are confronting. Sun is transiting Virgo right now and shifts into Hasta nakshatra early afternoon. This is the domain of Savitr, a resource for awakening, dawning and moving into the light. Find your inner light switch and turn it on. What do you see? Tuesday, September 27th Moon in 13th tithi Trayodasi Early Tuesday morning, Moon leaps through the challenging gandanta (gap) between Cancer and Leo, landing in Magha nakshatra. This is a regal constellation, connected to the father and the ancestors specifically. There is leadership available here. Step into your power and use your strength for divine purpose. Moon joins Rahu and Mercury in Leo for the coming days. All three planets receive gaze from Ketu and Saturn. There is a need for release, but confusion about how to do so. Restriction and resistance co-mingle with sudden shifts and changes. Where are you gripping? Where are you allowing release? How can you keep landing in your body- in order to ground more firmly in the "now"? Wednesday, September 28th Moon in 14th tithi Chaturdasi Late morning, Moon moves into Purvaphalguni nakshatra, and into tight conjunction with Rahu. Bhaga is enlivened, the resource provider. He brings what you need, in order to feel the pleasure of life. Today, you may feel big abundance, or extreme lack- depending on your natal chart relationship with Venus and Rahu and Moon. The emotions will be shadowed and may feel extreme or volatile. Emotional body waves are stronger when Moon interacts with the karma nodes, Rahu and Ketu. As Moon crosses over Rahu today and to the other side of him, expect the emotional body to intensify. Once Moon moves to the inside of Rahu this afternoon, the effects of Kala Sarpa yoga return for the coming weeks. Highs and lows should be expected. Read more here. The Moon will be sandwiched in between Rahu and Mercury until Thursday, causing intensified mental and emotional body pressures. Sudden stops and starts may be experienced- especially with power, communication, finances and creativity. Ride the waves and find soft landing in your body. It is the only place to find the "now". Jupiter is moving through his 13 month transit in Virgo and steps into Hasta nakshatra early morning. He will be in Hasta until the end of November. There is a powerful awakening possible right now. Lean into your light, wisdom and inner resources. This does not mean bypass the challenges, hardships or grief moving through you. It requires your deep authenticity, and presence with your whole range of being. Dedicate your efforts to awakening right now, bringing light (presence) to your darkness and bowing to it in deep reverence. Recite Gayatri Mantra for extra support in the coming weeks. Join me as I share resources for navigating grief and big emotions. *Free* class Oct 1st. Join the List Thursday, September 29th Moon in 14th and 15th tithi Chaturdasi and Amavasya Mid morning, Moon moves to the latter half of the Phalguni constellation, where Aryaman resides. Family nourishment and support becomes a vital resource today, though may provide challenges simultaneously. What do you need to feel connected, supported, honored and loved? How can you get this need me for connection- in a nourishing way? Moon moves into Virgo early afternoon, joining Sun and Jupiter here. All three planets are outside of the gaze of the other planets, which may support some upliftment on the emotional body level. Allow yourself to expand into the light, love and gratitude within. Where do you feel this in your body wisdom? Land here. Do it again and again. Friday, September 30th Moon in 15th and 1st tithi Amavasya and Pratipad Late morning, Moon shifts into Hasta nakshatra, joining both Sun and Jupiter in this lunar constellation. Savitr is enlivened on multiple levels, bringing the possibility of awakening to the soul and emotional body. The new Moon is at 16:12 MDT, while Moon moves through Virgo and Hasta nakshatra. This constellation is ruled by the Moon, so the emotional body will be a primary resource in the coming waxing cycle. Your relationship with the Moon will directly impact the effects of your awakening process. Do not neglect, avoid or resist your inner waves. In fact, your enlightenment is intimately connected to your emotional body relationship. Do you lean in closer and ride the waves? Or do you push past these important inner messengers? I'm sharing powerful resources for helping you navigate your inner landscape right now. Join my free class. Read More about the new Moon As the Moon shifts into the first tithi early evening, the sacred ten day and night celebration of Shardiya Maha Navaratri begins. Nava means nine and ratri means night in Sanskrit. Each day and night of this powerful junction point, correlates to the epic battle between the goddess Sri Devi Mahatmyam and the demon Mahishasura. Maha Devi Mahatmyam is connected to both Durga and Shakti, powerful forms of divine feminine energy that awaken, clear, transform and heal. Sri Devi is understood to be the supreme creation power of the universe, the Tridevi, or triple goddess, as she expresses the creation, sustaining and destructive energies that perpetuate all forms of life. In the sacred text known as the Sri Devi Mahatmyam, composed between 400 and 600 CE, the many forms of the goddess are expressed. "She is presented, through a language of praise, as the one who dwells in all creatures, as the soul, as the power to know, the power to will and the power to act. She is consciousness of all living beings, she is intelligence, she is matter, and she is all that is form or emotion." - Via Wikipedia Read more about the importance of Navaratri and how to use this sacred time to maximize the healing effects. Join me as I share resources for navigating grief and big emotions. *Free* class Oct 1st. Join the List Saturday, October 1st Moon in 1st tithi Pratipad The Moon is empty now and the Navaratri celebrations begin with three days and nights dedicated to Maha Durga. Savitr continues to bring his support until noon, when the Moon then shifts to Chitra nakshatra- Vishva Karma's domain. As the divine architect, he brings immense creativity, building, planning and resources. He awakens and enlivens action steps and plans. Mars rules this lunar constellation, yet the planet of fire and warrior action is currently transiting the challenging star, Mula, in Sagittarius. Confusion about action steps may arrive. Notice the nuances arriving today, as important uprooting and release is taking place. It's the first day of Navaratri and Durga begins her battle against the asura (demon) Mahishasura. The battle between dark and light forces starts to work its magic on you as well. Acknowledge and address challenges head on. Notice the inner conflicts emerging. This is a powerful time to integrate polarities, but first you must pull up the weeds in mind and emotions. The coming days will test your ability to face your demons and confront your darkness. On this first day and night of Navaratri, notice what's arriving. I have noticed that the first three days of Navaratri initiate the changes and transformations we are working with in this release cycle. Often we must confront challenges and obstacles as a result. More nourishment and support are coming, but we can't receive it without this important step. What is arriving? What parts of your personal mythology are showing up as a mirror for you? How can you clear more space within? Let Durga's fierce warrior energy initiate and provoke awareness. Emotionally, we may feel anger, pain, frustration or sadness emerge in the coming days. Physically we may need more rest or silence. Mentally we may need more inward reflection as well as time for meditation. Spiritually, we may need time with nature and to attend to rituals that help us land in deeper presence. Understand that this is a part of the change and transformation process. Where can you land into deeper presence with your needs? As you deepen your intention for this Navaratri celebration, find meaningful rituals for yourself that bring you closer to spirit. Spend time in nature and in meditation. Listening to Durga mantras right now is excellent for inviting in her presence. Traditionally, listening to Chandi Path recitations is also encouraged. Sunday, October 2nd Moon in 2nd tithi Dvitiya Just as Sunday begins, the Moon moves to one of its least favorite signs, Libra, joining Venus here. Venus adores Libra, which helps to bring some support, however Venus is not fond of the Moon. The vacillation and back and forth, that Libra is famous for, imbalances and destabilizes the Moon as well. Ketu gives his gaze, provoking sudden awakening- either through awareness or loss, or both. You will likely feel the unsteadiness in mind and emotions today. This will impact relationships, business and comforts especially. Late afternoon, Moon moves to Swati nakshatra and the wind god, Vayu brings change, movement and detachment. Relationship changes arrive. What do you need to feel more stability, support and grounding? It is the second day and night of the Navaratri celebration and the second of three that are dedicated to Ma Durga. Her battle begins to intensify today. Notice the conflicts and polarities rising to the surface of your mind. Notice the impact on your emotional body. Notice the effects on your physical body. How can you reconnect to your inner knowing, even when the inner battle is intensifying? Recite Durga mantras and listen to Chandi Path recitations for extra support. Monday, October 3rd Moon in 3rd tithi Tritiya Swati nakshatra continues to bring powerful changes to feelings and emotions. Ruling Deity of Swati nakshatra, Vayu, the wind god, invites in swift movement and change. Whether it's a gentle breeze or huge gusts, winds of change are ushering in transformation. What are you tracking within your own personal landscape? Use your emotional body as a resource for discerning your needs. What is working? What is not? What resources and support are you missing? Late evening, Moon moves to Vishaka nakshatra. It is the third day of Navaratri and the third day and night dedicated to Ma Durga. Recite Durga mantras and listen to Chandi Path recitations for extra support. Today, use connection and integration as a way to transform. Dual gods, Indra and Agni rule over Vishaka and instigate the need for partnership and co-creation. Agni, the ultimate transformational element provides the spark for change. What are you burning and releasing? Allow the strength of Indra to supply you with the power you need to awaken your inner wisdom. Clarify, purify, release. Mercury moves back into its favorite sign, Virgo today. As he re-enters his sign of exaltation, he joins Jupiter and Sun as well. At this point, we may finally get the positive effects of an exalted Mercury, with the expansive wisdom of Jupiter and the illumination of the Sun to support the awareness. A strong mind will bring more clarity, purposeful communication and potent resources. For the benefits of exalted Mercury to be felt, it will require patience and strong intentions. Stay true to your direction and continue to take action towards goals and desires. Increased financial support will come with your diligence. Work consistently and pro-actively on clearing limiting beliefs and mental/emotional blockages during this cycle- all that is hindering your ability to step more powerfully into financial abundance. Gather resources and support for this process. Jupiter will be activating your expansion, but only with the right guidance and support. * All timing used is Mountain Daylight Time

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