This Week's Intention: Allow the emotional body to release and purge. Honor your inner flame. It's trying to tell you something very important about your needs. Make space for your inner clarity and wisdom to shine through. Identify needs and get specific about action steps to support them. Moon is waning- post new Moon, Solar Eclipse and Shivaratri. There has been a deep emptying out of the emotional body over the past few days. As the door swings shut behind you, what are you stepping towards? What are you preparing for in the days and weeks ahead? The first part of the week continues to support release, letting go and emptying out of the emotional body. What is rising to the surface to support your clarity and new awareness? What needs are you noticing with new exactness? A new cycle is taking place as Moon arrives in Aries midweek. Renewal and new possibilities arrive. Be clear about what you need and what your next steps are. Two important transits also take place this week. The first one is Karma Yogi, Mars, shifting to Aries on March 1st, then Venus retrogrades late in the week. Reversals are coming with relationships, finances, creativity and vitality. There is also the potential for more decisive actions, choices and behaviors. Where have you been resisting that which you know you need, that which you crave for wholeness? Stop avoiding and start stepping towards your goals. It's time to achieve. Are you disconnected from your First Chakra? Here's how to tell: Watch My Short Video Now Monday, February 27th Moon in 2nd tithi Dvitiya As Moon continues to transit Aquarius, with Sun, Mercury and Ketu, all receive gaze from Saturn. There is contraction, compression and focus requested as the emotional body releases and transforms. Purvabhadra nakshatra requests balance. There is great potential available with this star, but not a great deal of action. Instead, use this time to hone and clarify your steps. Action comes next. Around noon, Moon moves to the final sign of the zodiac, Pisces, joining Mars and exalted Venus here. Retrograde Jupiter gives his gaze. Relationships are finding a new sense of order and alignment. What are you noticing about your inner relationship, your relationship with self? With your inner balance and harmony? Early evening, Moon moves to Uttarabhadra nakshatra. Ahirbudhnya is requesting more depth from you. Dive deeply into your unconscious terrain. What missing pieces are emerging today? You will need this information to clarify your next steps and align more clearly with your needs- especially in relationships. Clarify what is not working, and what you are calling in. Get specific. Tuesday, February 28th Moon in 3rd tithi Tritiya Depth and inner awareness continues to arrive today. What are you noticing? What needs are surfacing? Track your emotional body diligently as this will help you identify deeper needs and underlying issues. Where are you dissatisfied? What is this telling you about what you really need for more nourishment? Late afternoon, Moon shifts to Revati nakshatra, the final star of the zodiac. Pushan brings resources and support for your journey. As on of the 12 Adityas, his role is to provide material support- specifically through nourishment, prosperity, increase and flourishing. He ensure that you will have what you need as you walk your path. Get clear on the resources you need so that he can show up to support you. Without clarity, you will not be able to receive fully. How do you need these resources to show up? What does it look like? How does it feel? Align with this inner knowing so you can attract what you need more fully. Wednesday, March 1st Moon in 4th tithi Chaturthi Moon continues through Pisces the first half of the day, and will be in exact degrees with Mars midday and early afternoon. Venus, Mars and Moon create intense passion, power and storm energy- especially within the emotional body. Expect relationships to be impacted. Where are you feeling agitated, aggressive, angry and overly heated? Why? What are your emotions telling you about what you need? How can you be more clear about these needs and express them with tact and compassion? Mars leaps into Aries early afternoon, followed by the Moon shortly thereafter. Rahu now gives his shadowy gaze to both planets. The emotions are going through a purification process right now. Let the anger out. Purge the fire. Release the heat. On the other side of this release is clarity if you create space for it. On March 1st at 13:38 MST, Mars moves through the challenging gandanta (gap) of endings and leaps into a new beginning. He will be burning off the past two years of karma (action) as he steps through this portal. There are three of these poignant gandantas in the zodiac- all marked by the gap between water and fire signs. It takes approximately two years for Mars to cycle through the zodiac, roughly two months in each sign. This transit into Aries, marks a powerful beginning, an awakening into new possibility and potential. Aries is the first sign of the zodiac, and Ashwini is the first lunar constellation of the zodiac. As Mars enters this territory, it is a new beginning, a renewal, and also marks a clarity of action and purpose. Read more about Mars in Aries Thursday, March 2nd Moon in 5th tithi Panchami Moon transits Aries and Ashwini nakshatra the first half of the day, provoking rejuvenation and healing to arrive. It's time for some extra self care. Attend to your needs diligently and lean into your emotional body intelligence. What is it telling you about your physical body needs? How can you help yourself ground more fully today? Anger is still showing up to help you purify and clarify your needs. Anger shows you where you know you deserve better, and also tells you that some part of you is ready to receive it. Get clear on the needs showing up. Next step is getting this need met and communicating your needs to others. Clarity in self, means you can find clarity with others. Friday, March 3rd Moon in 6th tithi Sashthi Yama rules the first half of the day, providing restraint, resistance, clarity and restriction. Where are you feeling the pressure show up? Just after Noon, Moon shifts to Krittika nakshatra, the star of digestion and transformation. Ruled by Agni, it is a point of fiery alchemy, insuring change, healing and something new will emerge. What are you digesting? What are you moving towards? What is ready to awaken in you? Early evening, Moon arrives in Taurus, and exaltation degrees. The emotional body is full, expansive and swelling. Let your emotional waves move through you. Find healthy ways to release your inner waters. Cry, yell, shout, talk, move your body and breath. Paint, sing, dance your emotional body awake! Are you disconnected from your First Chakra? Here's how to tell: Watch My Short Video Now Saturday, March 4th Moon in 7th tithi Saptami Moon is moving through its favorite sign today, earthy Taurus, which stabilizes the ungrounded, always moving, nature of the Moon. Retrograde Jupiter gives his gaze, offering expansion, wisdom and new awareness. Late morning, Moon arrives in the creative, resourceful and abundant star, Rohini. This is Lord Brahmas star and by default includes his wife Goddess Saraswati. Together this dynamic pair beautifully expresses creative intelligence and the manifestation process. Saraswati brings the spark of intelligence and wisdom that is necessary to birth new ideas, visions and desires into form. Lord Brahma insures the ideas become manifest into form, into being. What are you birthing into being today? What ideas, visions and truths are awakening into form? Venus begins her retrograde dance today which lasts from March 4th to April 15th- rendering her nourishing effects debilitated. Expect highs (exalted) and lows (retrograde) with all things Venus during this transit. The impact of Venus will effect relationships, finances, creativity, health and the feminine. Read more about retrograde Venus in Pisces Sunday, March 5th Moon in 8th tithi Ashtami Late morning, Moon shifts to Mrigashirsha nakshatra and expansion, extension and a broader reach arrives. What are you reaching towards? What goals, visions and desires are clarifying for you? The missing link between your desires and manifestation, is action. Where are you resisting powerful, clear action steps? Where are you repressing your power and purpose, by resisting powerful, potent action steps? Results come from action. Keep moving. As evening arrives, Moon shifts to Gemini, receiving gaze from Ketu and Saturn- contraction and sudden change. What is bursting forth within you? Where are you ready for dramatic changes and shifts? What is showing up to support your evolution? Monday, March 6th Moon in 9th tithi Navami Monday begins with powerful momentum and change as Ardra nakshatra arrives. Moon moves through this constellation, sparking the powerful forces of Rudra, the storm god. Notorious for swift, powerful action, Rudra brings guaranteed changes. What type of changes? This will depend on your relationship with your inner power and purpose. Ketu and Saturn continue to give their gaze to the Moon, which can make for painful and uncomfortable emotions and experiences. Contraction and grief, coupled with sudden change and loss. Where are you feeling the pressure? What are you releasing and letting go? Step into your powerful inner currents and go with the flow. *All timing is Mountain Standard Time Zone Don't Miss My *free* Embodied Chakra Class!

This Week's Intention: The emotional body is your resource for all that nourishes you in life. Are you awake enough to feel? The ability to touch your pleasure and pain is the basis of your creativity. Lean closer and listen to what's arriving. Moon is waxing this week, culminating in a Cancer full Moon on Friday that begins a delicate two week eclipse cycle. The penumbral lunar eclipse triggers increased emotional body waves, instigates fears and delusions and will require more compassion and gentleness towards ourselves and others. Sun also shifts into Aquarius on Sunday, sparking a conjunction with "the tail of the serpent", Ketu. There's a cutting taking place within the soul. What needs to be extracted and removed for more gentleness and ease? The week begins as Jupiter begins his retrograde motion back through Virgo. Jupiter will be retrograde until June 9th. Retrograde planets increase in strength, intensifying their indications. This transit of Jupiter through Virgo, is provoking the need for clarity, certainty, purpose and alignment with your highest ideals. There is a certain naivety and innocence that is available- for better or worse. Read more about Jupiter and Virgo and its impact on your rising sign. 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. Monday, February 6th Moon in 11th tithi Ekadashi Moon lands in Mrigashirsha nakshatra just as Monday begins. This is the Moon's constellation, which enlivens Soma, the divine nectar of life. There is growth, ojas and immense creative power available in this portion of the sky. Through extending and expanding your reach, you will find the nourishment, the resources and resilience to thrive, succeed and become deeply nourished. Moon has entered its mulitrikona degrees, which still expresses strength and power from the emotional body. Jupiter expands and increases this feeling level. Where are you playing small and resisting the nourishment of life? What part of you is too afraid to take a powerful leap forward? Look carefully and notice where you are holding yourself back. Reach towards resources that support your full potential, your deepest nourishment. Early evening, Moon shifts to Gemini. Surrender to your creative spirit. Tuesday, February 7th Moon in 12th tithi Dvadashi Mars, Ketu and Saturn give their gaze to the Moon as she transits Gemini. Just as the day begins, Moon shifts into Rudra's domain, the storm god. This star is notorious for powerful explosive energy which must be channeled for effective results. There is usually a build up of emotion that leads to an outburst, or purge. Emotional release is inevitable, but requires that you lean into your inner resistance. Where are you missing your emotional body wisdom? What parts of yourself are being repressed and avoided? If you aren't in touch with you're emotions, you will be missing an important relationship with your power. Just before midnight, Moon lands in Punarvasu. Take a deep breath. Wednesday, February 8th Moon in 13th tithi Trayodashi As Moon moves through Punarvasu nakshatra, the mother of all goodness and resources, Aditi, arrives with her nourishment and support. It doesn't always come in tangible goods, but through wisdom, understanding and acceptance. She honors you with resources like a mother to a child, providing comfort and ease. In order to harvest the wisdom of the day, it will require a retracing of your steps. Re-visit some old ground in order to gather the riches. Early evening, Moon shifts to its own sign, Cancer, while Mercury and Sun give their gaze. It's time to get clear, focused and strategic. Where do you feel the lack of nourishment? Where are you resistant to getting your needs met? Just before midnight, Moon arrives in Pushya. Nourishment is in abundant supply. Are you able to receive it? Thursday, February 9th Moon in 14th Chaturdashi Moon moves through the nourishing star, Pushya, today. There is support and guidance, wisdom and deep holding, for those who are in right-relationship with Saturn (ruler of this constellation). As painful and grief inducing as Saturn is, he also upholds structure, support and the necessary containment for safety and security. He provides vital wisdom from the body if you slow down enough to listen. Your job is to lean in and get closer to your inner wisdom. Ask the body to share its secrets with you. This is the first step in getting your needs met more consistently. Late evening, Moon switches to Sarpa's domain, Ashlesha nakshatra. Deception and illusion are at play as the serpent energy and trickster, Sarpa, arrives in conjunction with a penumbral lunar eclipse. You create your own reality. Cut away the uncertainty and what do you have left? Friday, February 10th Moon in 15th tithi Purnima It's a full Moon day with an eclipse portal opening. Moon transits Cancer and Ashlesha nakshatra, the domain of Sarpa, the mystical serpent. A rare triple impact full Moon takes place on February 10th. This Cancer full Moon occurs with a penumbral lunar eclipse and a comet sighting shortly after, though barely visible from earth. Three cosmic events open the delicate two week eclipse portal. The full Moon occurs at 17:34 MST while Moon is at the edge of Cancer and Ashlesha nakshatra (using Mean node calculations). In the Vedic calendar, this is considered Magha Purnima, which is connected to Leo and the ancestors. The penumbral lunar eclipse begins to emerge at 15:34 MST, reaching its climax at 17:43 MST, and finding completion at 19:53 MST. This eclipse will cast its shadow on Europe, Much of Asia, Africa, North America, South America, Pacific, Atlantic, Indian Ocean, Arctic, Antarctica. From a Vedic perspective, it is never advised to be outside during an eclipse, or to look at it directly. If you must be outside, make sure your head is covered. This also marks a delicate two week gap between lunar and solar eclipses. It is not advised to start new projects at this time, nor make big decisions. Best to lay low, attend to spiritual pursuits, get extra rest and work with your inner shadow very consciously. Read more about the Cancer full Moon Late evening, Moon crosses the tricky gandanta (gap) between water and fire, landing in Leo and Magha nakshatra. The ancestors are enlivened. Pay your respects. Saturday, February 11th Moon in 1st tithi Pratipad Moon transits the gandanta constellation Magha today, colliding with shadow node Rahu. Ketu gives his gaze and restructuring. The impact of the eclipse is in full effect. Ruling planet of Leo, Sun, is now at the edge of Capricorn. Sun will drop out of the tail of the Serpent in the coming week as he moves through Aquarius- provoking soul transformation. Today, make your ancestors a priority. What is emerging from your lineage as a reminder right now? Pay close attention to your personal mythology. Old shadows and illusions are emerging right now- especially what was handed to you by your ancestors. It's time to release and let go of these old patterns- for you and for them. Late evening, Moon arrives in Purvaphalguni nakshatra and Bhaga brings his comforts and resources- depending on your relationship with him. Put your creative powers to good use! It's time to upgrade your self and your life. Sunday, February 12th Moon in 2nd tithi Dvitiya Moon moves through Leo and Purvaphalguni nakshatra today. Bhaga supports resources, comforts, sexuality and sensuality. He enlivens the Shakti, life force quality of life with creativity. Your creative intelligence is your highest power. Understanding how to take your shadow and turn it into light is creative intelligence in action. People who don't have this skill, and lack the ability to transform challenges into resources, are unable to increase life force, vitality, abundance and nourishment. Are you stuck in perpetual cycles of lack? It's time for an upgrade! You'll need specific resources, support, guidance and tools to learn this skill of harnessing your creative power. This is a powerful process for creating lasting, life change, using your immense creative power. Late evening, Moon shifts to the latter half of the Phalguni constellation, Uttara. This is a Sun ruled constellation, which supports sustainable support from the ancestors. Sun has just shifted to Aquarius, which means that it is delicate and in weak degrees. Don't push, rest and listen closely to your soul's wisdom. Sun moves to Aquarius at 07:46 am MST today, 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. * 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?

Lord Vishnu rules this phase of the Moon and invites us to align with dharma, right action and that which sustains our soul's purpose, our highest truth. Saturn has just landed in Mula nakshatra and Sagittarius for the majority of 2017, causing adharma (that which is against dharma) as well as increased chaos, calamity and uncertainty. This is a time of great unmasking, a powerful opportunity for awakening from the illusions and shadows that keep you in the dark. Don't play small. Rise to the occasion! Stay close to your body and breath. Read more about Saturn in Sagittarius. This week, Mercury moves to Capricorn and Jupiter will retrograde Changes for the mind and spirit arrive. Monday, January 30th Moon in 3rd tithi Tritiya Late morning on Monday, Moon shifts to Purvabhadra nakshatra, where Ajaikapada brings preparatory steps for awakening and removing veils of ignorance. There is a poignant one pointed focus with this constellation. A focus and determination to meet the mark, yet often without the action necessary to achieve the goal. This is a preparatory nakshatra, more than an achievement oriented constellation. There is a need for preservation, holding, attending to, and especially pausing in stillness. Today is a day of preparation. Find clarity about your needs and next steps. What action still need to be taken in order for your success, in order for your desired outcome to be achieved? Pause, lean in and listen. Tuesday, January 31st Moon in 4th tithi Chaturthi Just before noon, Moon arrives in UttaraBhadra nakshatra, the domain of Ahirbudhnya, the serpent of the deep, unconscious inner terrain. As a naga (a positive serpent), Ahirbudhnya supports deep dives into your darkness, bringing pearls of wisdom to the surface, to your conscious mind. Moon conjuncts Mars and Venus, receiving direct gaze from Jupiter who is currently at the very edge of Virgo. What are you learning about release and letting go? What emotions are holding you back, keeping you frozen and locked in old patterns and behaviors? Look closely at your feelings, as they lead the way to uncovering parts of yourself that are stuck, resistant or avoiding change. Wednesday, February 1st Moon in 5th tithi Panchami Late morning, Moon shifts to the final nakshatra of the zodiac, Revati. This is Pushan's domain, who nourishes and provides resources for long journeys. He protects, guides and helps you align with your right path, so that you can gather the necessary resources and support along the way. Mercury rules this constellation, giving a nod to the mental body, the mind. Working diligently with the mind is vital for being in right relationship with your receptivity, your ability to receive. Where are you denying or resisting more nourishment? What stories are keeping you stuck in lack? If you want to receive the nourishment, you must clear away your resistance to the receiving. Jupiter is at the very edge of Virgo right now, a poignant place for intensifying the attributes of Virgo and the expression of Jupiter. The 29th degree always increases the impact and effects of the sign and planet placed there. Right now, Jupiter (planet of wisdom and guidance) is intensifying Virgo's need for order, discipline, clarity and focus. Lack of clarity and certainty is challenging and overwhelming. With the chaos being provoked by Saturn in Sagittarius right now, there are ample reasons to feel ungrounded and imbalanced. For now, continue to align with your inner truth. Where do you feel this truth in your body? Listen for messages. Thursday, February 2nd Moon in 6th tithi Sashthi Early Thursday morning, Moon leaps through the gandanta (the gap) between endings and beginnings- Pisces to Aries. Gandantas are karmic knots that require uprooting and releasing parts of yourself that are stuck, stagnant and need to be released. The three gandantas of the zodiac often bring turmoil and chaos as parts of you are transformed, released and awakening to change. This is an ending and a beginning. What are you leaving behind? What are you opening to? As Moon arrives in Aries, it enters Ashwini nakshatra, a portion of the sky that supports healing and rejuvenation. Attend to self care diligently today. What resources are supporting you? How can you ground, land and establish more inner resiliency? Friday, February 3rd Moon in 7th tithi Saptami Mid morning, Moon moves to the second constellation of the zodiac, Bharani. Yama brings his transformation and restraint to this domain of the heavens. He requires clarity, order and simplicity, while also offering immense strength and power. The symbol of this nakshatra is the yoni, suggesting both vulnerability and incredible creative potential, as well as pleasure and vitality. Clarify your desires today, then work backwards. What do you need to do in order to activate and align with your highest power, purpose and potential? What is in the way of your success? Release and let go of anything in your way. Get clear on your action steps and move forward. Just as Friday begins, Mercury lands in Capricorn at 00:33 MST, joining Sun here. Both receive gaze from Jupiter, which offers a soft landing and increased wisdom during the transit. Mind sharpens, as Mercury leaves the gaze of Rahu. This cycle presents and opportunity for expanding the heart, while also finding strength and clarity with your needs, purpose and inner awareness. Cut away the excess, get laser focused on your needs and desires. Notice where you are allowing yourself to get distracted and sabotage your success. You'll need clear action steps in this cycle in order to maximize the potency and power of it. What needs to be clarified in order for you to succeed? The chaos and overwhelm is a choice. When you decide to get really clear and align with your inner order, you will also find your inner truth. Your only job is to honor this truth arriving and support it with clear, focused actions steps. Read more about Mercury in Capricorn Saturday, February 4th Moon in 8th tithi Ashtami Mid morning, Moon shifts to Krittika nakshatra, which aligns with Agni, the fire of life. Agni brings cutting, clarifying and purification through burning. There is heat in the process of change and transformation, which supports the alchemy process. Just after noon, Moon shifts into its exaltation sign, Taurus, becoming exalted. Waves of emotion are high, feelings intensify, requesting you to change and transform from the emotional body. Jupiter gives his gaze to the Moon, expanding and swelling the feelings arriving. What are you noticing within your emotional body? What emotions are rising to the surface in order for you to look more closely? What needs to be cleared, transformed and released? Allow the waves to come and let the purge take place. Then find the calm, your grounding on the other side. Sunday, February 5th Moon in 9th tithi Navami Sunday morning, Moon moves to Rohini nakshatra, the powerfully creative star with immense potential for manifestation. Lord Brahma rules this domain of the sky and by default goddess Saraswati is awakened here as well. Both the masculine and feminine principles of creativity, manifestation and inner wisdom, together, god and goddess create the perfect blend of inner potential. From this potential, all possibilities arrive. Align with your Creative Intelligence, your inner spark of Shakti. Allow yourself to shine, be seen and thrive. What are your greatest desires, your most potent potential? What is your soul's truth? Take steps today that help you succeed. What is blocking your immense creative potential? What is keeping you from fully aligning with your purest essence, your life force energy? Why play small, when all possibilities are available and within your reach? All that is standing in your way is you. Monday, February 6th Moon in 10th tithi Dashami Moon lands in Mrigashirsha nakshatra just as Monday begins. This is the Moon's constellation, which enlivens Soma, the divine nectar of life. There is growth, ojas and immense creative power available in this portion of the sky. Through extending and expanding your reach, you will find the nourishment, the resources and resilience to thrive, succeed and become deeply nourished. Moon has entered its mulitrikona degrees, which still expresses strength and power from the emotional body. Jupiter expands and increases this feeling level. Where are you playing small and resisting the nourishment of life? What part of you is too afraid to take a powerful leap forward? Look carefully and notice where you are holding yourself back. Reach towards resources that support your full potential, your deepest nourishment. Just before midnight, Jupiter begins his retrograde motion back through Virgo. Jupiter will be retrograde until June 9th. Retrograde planets increase in strength, intensifying their indications. This transit of Jupiter through Virgo, is provoking the need for clarity, certainty, purpose and alignment with your highest ideals. There is a certain naivety and innocence that is available- for better or worse. Read more about Jupiter and Virgo and its impact on your rising sign. * All timing is Mountain Standard Time.

Moon is waxing and becomes full (Purnima) late in the week, just before the auspicious Vedic celebration of Makar Sankranti. Sun shifts to Capricorn as well, marking an awakening of the Sun and an invitation of more brightness, light and prosperity. Mercury has just gone direct, but continues through the challenging nakshatra and gandanta (gap) of Mula, causing uprooting, changes and chaos on the mental body level. Seek spiritual resources to ground and align with your inner wisdom. Venus has shifted to the outside of Ketu, past the cutting and release of this Moksha "planet". Relationships, creativity, money and comforts are getting restructured, but begin to find a new sense of harmony and balance. The past months of extremes caused by the Kala Sarpa Yoga are finally seeking integration and release. Allow the extremes of the past months to find their new set points. Honor the new. Saturn is now in the gap between Scorpio and Sagittarius, at 28 degrees, moving closer to the edge. Planets increase in power and strength as they leave a sign. The portal between water and fire is opening, as is the gandanta (gap) that signifies challenges, chaos and uprooting. The coming year of Saturn in Sagittarius is upon us.

Lord Brahma is the ruling deity here, which by default includes his wife, goddess Saraswati. Together, they bring forth the ability to manifest, channel creative intelligence and put creativity into right action. Desires are brought into form. Use your creative powers with great intention and honor your ability to create the life of your dreams. Jupiter and Saturn both give their gaze to the Moon today- strengthening balance with expansion and contraction. Find evenness and balance with your inner and outer realms, as well as spiritual and material desires. Clarify your desires and put them into action. Late evening, Moon shifts to Mrigashirsha nakshatra, increasing Soma and branching out. Extend your reach, offer an olive branch, seek peaceful resolution. Tuesday, January 10th Moon in 13th tithi Trayodasi Mrigashirsha nakshatra rules the day, inviting in its deity, Soma, to nourish and protect. Soma is another name for the Moon. He is friendly, personable and creative, increasing playfulness and joy when in balance. Moon is also an expression of the ancestors and of plants because they are infused with Soma (divine nectar) by the Moon's rays (filtered sunlight). As Moon moves into Gemini early morning, creativity and communication increase. Mercury and Sun give direct gaze to the Moon, as well as Ketu. The mind and emotions are quick, sharp and changing swiftly. Sparks of insight and wisdom will arrive if you're pausing to check. Early evening, Moon arrives in Ardra nakshatra and Rudra's powerful emotional quality sets in. Move your emotional body with diligence and allow the waves to surface. Safely release anger, pain, frustrations, sadness and grief. Wednesday, January 11th Moon in 14th to 15th tithi Chaturdasi to Purnima Moon continues through Ardra nakshatra, instigating Rudra's power and strength. He especially harnesses emotional body power, causing big emotions to stir. Ride these waves intelligently. Notice what is under the surface and allow it to move out and through you. Repressed emotions are a big reason why Ardra's power gets bottled up and misdirected. The Moon is also entering the Purnima phase today. It's full, large and highly expressive. Your cup may be running over, so let it move and release in healthy, intentional ways. Ketu, Sun and Mercury continue to offer their gaze to the Moon, stirring sudden thoughts, emotions and triggers.

Thursday, January 12th Moon in 15th tithi Purnima It's a Purnima (full Moon) day and the Moon continues to travel through Punarvasu nakshatra, at the edge of Gemini, while Sun and Mercury give their direct gaze. The full Moon is at 04:34 am MST with Saturn and Scorpio on the Eastern horizon at this time. Aditi brings her blessings of abundance, nourishment and support- through resources, wisdom and wholeness. The coming cycle brings Mercurial resources and support, but will require unraveling the challenges, chaos and confusions of your mental body in order to gain the rewards. Align with spirit, get quiet, listen carefully. Meditation will be an important resource in the coming days to help you clarify your purest intentions and gather the insights and wisdom that Aditi provides. Read more about the full Moon Mid morning, Moon shifts to its own sign, Cancer, activating more nourishment and emotional body resources over the next few days. Moon is outside of the gaze of the other planets as it moves through Cancer, allowing the full expression of the Moon to awaken. These qualities include deep feeling, nourishment and emotional body wisdom. These themes strengthen as Moon shifts to Pushya nakshatra mid day. Sun is now at the edge of Sagittarius, preparing to leave the sign of dharma and leap into Capricorn. What is your soul's true purpose? Align more fully with this wisdom.

Friday, January 13th Moon in 1st tithi Pratipad Nourishment and emotional body receptivity are strengthened as the Moon continues through Cancer and Pushya nakshatra. Bhrihaspati brings counseling, awareness, support and resources through wisdom. Ask for guidance and support, gather resources for more awakening, reach out for tools that support your inner knowing. Listen to your emotional body intelligence today and open your heart. As Moon shifts to Ashlesha nakshatra mid day, Sarpa energy increases. Illusions, delusions and confusion can set in. Deception and mistrust may cloud your clarity and truth. How can you align with your heart wisdom and come back to your core truth and powerful essence? Sift through the mental and arrive back in the pure essence of feeling, heart and inner harmony. Sun shifts to Capricorn at 18:46 MST, beginning a new cycle of increased light and brightness- inside and out. As Sun arrives in Makara, an Earth sign, a steadiness and work oriented dynamic is enlivened. Jupiter gives his nourishing gaze to the Sun (both friends), although its debilitation sign is Capricorn. Increased support and strength begins to shine more brightly- with relationships, support, resources and connections. Saturn gives his gaze to Capricorn (his own sign) and Jupiter as well, bringing increased balance and integration between expansion and contraction. When Jupiter and Saturn align, great balance is possible. This supports an integration and harmony with the Sun, your power source. Challenges with power, authority, the masculine and father have the opportunity to find resolution and new resources in the coming cycle. It's time to step out more powerfully, to align with your purpose more intentionally and strengthen your dharmic steps. This will require you honor your power, your light, and your inner masculine energy with more clarity, focus and commitment. Read more about Sun in Capricorn. Saturday, January 14th Moon in 2nd tithi Dvitiya Late morning, Moon crosses the gandanta between water (Cancer) and into fire (Leo), colliding with Rahu and Magha nakshatra. This is a lunar constellation that provokes the ancestors, particularly the father and his karma. Rahu has been activating this shadow work in very intensified ways over the past many months as he's moved through Leo. His transit through Magha is bringing to light much of what has been hidden for so many months now. As Moon arrives in this combination, it acts as a mirror, bringing to light that which is hidden (Rahu) and provoking it to rise to the surface, your conscious awareness. Look for issues with power, authority (as well as inner authority), light, purpose, dharma and duty. What is dis-empowering you? What do you need to do to rise and shine? Today is the auspicious Vedic celebration of Makar Sankranti. This marks an important movement towards a more auspicious time of year (spring and a time of growth) in the Vedic calendar. This day of the Sun's movement into Capricorn is named Makar Sankranti. Interestingly, unlike the majority of Vedic celebrations which are calculated by the placement of the Moon, this celebration is calculated by the position of the Sun. Sun is connected to father, knowledge, power, the Soul and the light within. As Sun will be in transition and considered sandhi (in the gap/the in between realms) until Sunday, we may notice a slow start to the new light. Get organized and be methodical in your approach to work and your own shining. This is a powerful time to set intentions and goals for the 2017 in order to have a rich harvest. Sunday, January 15th Moon in 3rd tithi Tritiya Late morning, Moon shifts to the inner edge of Rahu and into Purvaphalguni nakshatra. A fresh, fertile and vital nakshatra, Bhaga brings resources and blessings in the form of comforts and pleasure. He is the lord of wealth and happiness and brings sensual and sexual pleasures in a variety of forms. Track desires and pleasures with awareness today. What strong cravings are arriving? What needs are not being met? What dissatisfaction lurks within? There is tension and frustration possible in relationships today. Honor new beginnings and fresh starts. What do you need to clarify in order to move forward with more nourishment and ease? Join me for a *free* Dharma Class this Sunday, January 15th! Are you aligned with your life path, your purpose? Discover how to awaken your path, purpose and inner knowing + resources for using your jyotish chart as a powerful resource for dharmic awakening. Join my newsletter for the details. Monday, January 16th Moon in 4th tithi Chaturthi 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. * All timing is Mountain Standard Time.

The week and new Year kick off with Moon in 5th tithi (phase) of the waxing cycle, marking the first 1/3 of the journey before purnima (fullness). Mercury is retrograde in Sagittarius, while Mars has finally shifted to the outside of the Rahu/Ketu axis, marking the closure of the intense past few months of Kala Sarpa Yoga effects. Some integration, renewed balance and evenness is arriving. Lean into the harmony available right now. What do you need to strengthen your grounding cord and clarify your next steps? Monday, January 2nd Moon in 5th tithi Panchami Moon transits Aquarius, arriving in Satabisha nakshatra mid morning- conjuncting Ketu, Venus and Mars. The emotional body will feel an intensification, a pull in multiple directions. You may feel split down the middle, conflicted, agitated and aggravated. How do you want to channel the ferocity you are feeling within? Clarify your needs and intentions. Take purposeful action and build momentum for the weeks to come. This is a time of healing, honoring your needs and inner landscape. Lean in closer and attend to any loose ends. When Moon transits Satabisha nakshatra, it is time to take care of your health and vitality rigorously. Clean diet, lifestyle choices and routine are essential right now. What is your medicine for well being- on all levels of your being? Tuesday, January 3rd Moon in 6th tithi Sashti Early morning, Moon moves into Purvabhadra nakshatra, continuing a theme of balance, integration and finding harmony with opposing forces. Ruling deity is Ajaikapada, who is a Rudra (offering immense strength), but also provoking a challenging balancing act- inner and outer. Mystical wisdom and purification are possible today, so channel your energy accordingly. What are you learning? Awakening to? How can this support your integration process? Polarities are still begging for your attention and alignment. What challenges need your attention? How can they become a resource for change and transformation? Wednesday, January 4th Moon in 7th tithi Saptami Moon lands in Pisces just before the day begins. Jupiter gives his direct gaze from seven house away. Expand and open, learn and discover. As Moon enters Uttarabhadra mid morning, a certain depth and awareness arrives. Ahirbudhnya brings an ability to dive below the surface of the mind and discover secrets that are normally hidden from view. Dive deep today. If you don't pause to check what's arriving within your inner landscape, you'll miss the poignant messages arriving. Stop and drop in, meditate and stay awhile. Love what you're reading?

Donate Now Thursday, January 5th Moon in 8th tithi Ashtami Early morning, Moon moves into the final constellation of the zodiac, Revati. Pushan rules this portion of the sky, promoting safe travels- with ample resources and support for the journey. Nourishment arrives on the mental body level, while also supporting clarity and release. The mind is still moving in reverse right now. What clean up is taking place? What are you unraveling within the mind? What unhelpful and undernourishing behaviors can be released through your conscious awareness? Align and integrate with your highest intentions. Make choices that truly support this and honor your need for more nourishment. What will support this desire? Friday, January 6th Moon in 9th tithi Navami Moon enters the tricky gandanta (gap) between the end of the zodiac (Pisces) and jumping into the beginning of the zodiac. As Moon lands in Aries early morning, it steps into the first constellation of the zodiac, Ashwini nakshatra. There are three gandanta points in the zodiac, each one provoking change, transformation and release. Rahu gives his gaze to the Moon, clouding judgement at times and intensifying desires simultaneously. Today inspires a clean up phase that increases healing and rejuvenation. What needs to be cleared, cleaned, released and detoxed? Get creative! The healing arts and creative arts are resources for your divine well being. Indulge in your need for creativity and self care as these are powerful ways to honor your deepest needs for nourishment. Saturday, January 7th Moon in 10th tithi Dashami Early morning, Moon moves to Bharani nakshatra, allowing Yama's restraint to influence the day. There is transformation of the old and certain death of what no longer serves you. It's vital that you align with your need for simplicity, sparking clarity and more certainty simultaneously. Lean in and listen to your inner wisdom. What feels excessive? Overpowering? Unnecessary? Clean up your emotional body as well as your relationship with self and others. What is the core intention that will support greater self love? Increase compassion and loving kindness for yourself and others. This is the most basic resource for ease, grace and divine nourishment. Sunday, January 8th Moon in 11th tithi Ekadashi Just as Sunday begins, Moon arrives in Krittika nakshatra and Agni brings a powerful transformational energy to the day. Purification, clarification and awakening are supported as the fire of life clears and strengthens your inner knowing. Trust the vision of truth and light that is flickering within. What is it telling you about your purpose and dharma? As Moon transits its exaltation position in Taurus, powerful emotions are present. Your emotional body wisdom shares immense resources with you- especially about what you need for greater nourishment in life. Challenges show you what is not working, which means change and transformation are being provoked. Are you listening? What needs to shift in order for you to strengthen your inner harmony and your relationship with the divine nectar of life? Your creativity and creative intelligence are the most potent resource of all. Use it! Linger in moments of sweetness and softness. Late evening Moon shifts to Rohini nakshatra. Creativity is amplified. Mercury goes direct in Sagittarius today. Mercury transits Sagittarius for an extended stay, starting 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. As Mercury arrives in Sagittarius at the end of November, he also lands in Mula Nakshatra. This constellation is notorious for sparking change, transition, release and uprooting. As the planets continue to move through this portion of the sky (Sun next, then Saturn in the first part of 2017) inevitable shifts take place. Mercury will be in Mula for a lengthy stay in the coming months, moving in and out of this challenging gandanta of change. Mercury will leave Mula for the first time on December 8th, but will return on December 28th for over three weeks, until January 21st of 2017. The dance of Mercury in and out of Mula, will provoke deep mental body changes and challenges in the coming months. This is a powerful opportunity for uprooting old, outdated personal mythology with all things Mercury. This includes communication, connections, commerce, business, money, creativity, writing, computers and all resources of connection. 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. Use this cycle to step into your creative powers more fully and bring more beauty into your home and heart. Seek balance- inner and outer. Move closer to your emotional body and deepen your feminine wisdom. Say yes to integration of fluidity and structure. Find your middle ground. Land and reconnect. Monday, January 9th Moon in 12th tithi Dvadasi Rohini nakshatra is activating immense creativity today. Lord Brahma is the ruling deity here, which by default includes his wife, goddess Saraswati. Together, they bring forth the ability to manifest, channel creative intelligence and put creativity into right action. Desires are brought into form. Use your creative powers with great intention and honor your ability to create the life of your dreams. Jupiter and Saturn both give their gaze to the Moon today- strengthening balance with expansion and contraction. Find evenness and balance with your inner and outer realms, as well as spiritual and material desires. Clarify your desires and put them into action. * All timing is Mountain Standard Time.

In the face of this we love. In the face of this we forgive. Because the vast majority of water protectors know this is the greatest battle of all: to keep our hearts intact.” ~ Lyla June Johnston, a young Native leader. Moon continues to wax this week, gathering strength and emotional body impact. Mercury and Rahu move to new nakshatras this week, creating potent adjustments to the effects of the transits. Read more about the impact of these changes. Sun collides with Saturn this week, making for some challenges and discomfort- especially with the masculine, ego and physical body. Grief is moving through the body, supporting release with masculine pain body, identity and empowerment. Ease this process by leaning into your grief and pain. Notice where you're resisting it. Resist and it will persist. As shared previously, Mars has shifted to Dhanishta nakshatra and Jupiter moved to Chitra nakshatra early this morning. The Vasu Devas and Vishvakarma supported the light and the rebuilding of contracts taking place at Standing Rock right now. More light has arrived, more alignment with right action. Monday, December 5th Moon in 7th tithi Saptami Moon shifts to Dhanishta nakshatra just before Monday begins, joining Mars in this constellation as well. The eight Vasu Devas rule this portion of the sky, bringing to light desires, dreams and ambitions. Wealth is a gift of the Vasus, one of the many resources supported by the manifestation powers of these Devas. As ideas awaken into action, resources and wealth arrive as well. The Vasu Devas bring the light (jyoti) so look for flickers of insight, wisdom and ideas through sudden flashes of awareness today. Sun moves into closer conjunction with Saturn this week, deepening the release of grief around masculinity, ego, spirit and physical body. Attend to your shadow with rigor and intention right now. As we near the still point of the year, Winter Solstice, there is a deep emptying taking place on all levels of your being. Support this process of gentleness and ease through intentionally moving closer to your inner realms. Tuesday, December 6th Moon in 8th tithi Ashtami Satabisha rules the day as Moon moves through Varuna's nakshatra. His all seeing abilities bring scrutiny, enliven the critic, and complicate health. When Varuna is against you, nothing can remove his pain and challenges. When Moon travels through this constellation, it's a reminder to make prevention a priority. Move into right relationship with actions and choices that support your well being. Eat well, on time, and do activities to support your health. Don't get off track. Rahu rules this constellation which can increase poor food choices and bad habits. Stay true to course and align with nourishment. Despite the challenges of this nakshatra, it can also bring immense healing support and wisdom as well. Clarify and release the challenges today. Gather support and resources for ease. Moon is in exact conjunction with Ketu midday, causing sudden shifts changes and unexpected emotions and experiences. As Moon moves to the other side of Ketu later today, the Kala Sarpa Yoga breaks. We enter a two week period of release and integration. Read more about the impacts of this challenging Sarpa effect. Wednesday, December 7th Moon in 9th tithi Navami Just as Wednesday arrives, Moon shifts to Purvabhadrapada nakshatra and more balance becomes vital. Today requires integration between opposing forces. This may feel challenging and impossible, yet with your intention, great strides can be made. Moon shifts to the outside of Ketu and into Pisces late evening. Polarities are asking for you to integrate and harmonize their opposition. This will support more ease, balance and focus in the coming two weeks. Jupiter gives his gaze to the Moon in Pisces, offering nourishment, wisdom and extra support. As the Moon moves into another cycle of completion, what are you letting go of? It's time to intentionally find release and arrive at your true essence. Keep it simple. Stay grounded. Get close to the body. {Plant Your Seeds of Light and Wisdom} *FREE* Winter Solstice Web Class. On the darkest day of the year, there is a great opportunity for releasing and letting go of the past seasons. This is your still point. The pause. The sacred in-between. Linger here for a moment and create a deeper intention for your path in the coming months. Join me for a free Winter Solstice Web Class ::: Please RSVP to join the list: swatijrjyotish@gmail.com Thursday, December 8th Moon in 10th tithi Dashami Just before Thursday begins, Moon arrives in the latter half of the Bhadra pada. Uttarabhadrapada is ruled by the Naga, Ahirbudhnya. Sarpas are snakes that bring deception and illusion, while Nagas are serpents that support wisdom, deeper knowledge and insights. You must dive deep into the subconscious terrain in order to grasp the pearls of wisdom that the Nagas offer. You won't find them on the surface. How deep are you willing to go? Late evening, Moon shifts to the final nakshatra of the zodiac, Revati. There is still some lingering uprooting taking place in the mind. Attend to the release, the cutting and the letting go. Mercury moves out of Mula nakshatra today and into Purvashada, the domain of Apas, the water goddess. This is a Venus ruled nakshatra and supports the creative and communication essence of Mercury. Communication, creativity and relationships get a boost of support, especially with the current exchange of energy between Mercury and Jupiter (Jupiter is transiting Virgo, ruled by Mercury and Mercury is currently transiting Sagittarius, a Jupiter ruled sign). Expect a lift with your thoughts, ideas and connections in the coming days. You've been pulling up weeds and tilling your garden. It's time to start intentionally planting some new seeds through conscious thoughts, words and actions. Think abundantly! Read more about Mercury in Sagittarius Friday, December 9th Moon in 11th tithi Ekadashi Moon transits the final nakshatra of the zodiac, Revati, enlivening Pushan, the deity of safe passages, journeys and travels. He removes obstacles on the path and provides resources to support the journey. Jupiter gives his gaze to the Moon, softening the mind and expanding hope, possibility and options. Think big, then think even bigger. Late evening, Moon crosses one of three tricky gandanta points in the zodiac, shifting from Pisces into Aries. As the Moon leaves water and enters fire, it lands in a Ketu ruled nakshatra, Ashwini. This is a vulnerable gap that instigates change, forced release and sudden, unexpected changes. Mars and Rahu give their gaze, instigating confusion, aggression and strong feelings. Shift from challenge into resource. Re-frame your difficulties and look for the silver lining. For some, big gains may arrive. Ask for a boon. On December 9th, Rahu shifts into a Ketu ruled nakshatra, Magha. This nakshatra is considered one of the three gandantas- junction points between water and fire signs. These portals are particularly notorious for creating immense transformation and change. Ketu is currently transiting a Rahu ruled nakshatra, Satabisha. This exchange between Rahu and Ketu will bring to light much of the darkness and deception that seems so illusive right now. Nothing is what it seems. The Sarpa (serpent) energy being activated right now is increasing the extreme highs and lows taking place inner and outer. Things go well and support comes, but then this is taken or it vanishes somehow. All is illusive and in constant change. The shift of Rahu into Magha will activate the ancestors and increase the forced cutting and release process taking place currently. Magha brings magnanimous action and a royal spirit with profound accomplishment and visibility. It's shadow side is excess ego, misuse of masculine power and extreme or aggressive force. As the necessity for being in right-relationship with the masculine energy comes to the surface right now, notice where you are pushing too hard and forcing outcomes. Read more about Rahu in Magha Saturday, December 10th Moon in 12th tithi Dvadashi Moon transits Ashwini nakshatra, a gap that supports rejuvenation, revitalization and renewal. Support the body mind with healing and stability. Hit re-set and land more fully within. What are you releasing right now? Prepare consciously for the cycle ahead by allowing the release to take place fully. Early evening, Moon moves to Bharani nakshatra and more restraint is required. Yama brings certain control and commitment to containment. He owns simplicity and clarity about outcomes as he determines what the nature of your karma is. All karmic judgment goes through Yama! Clarify your needs, commitment levels and relationships. What needs to be restructured so you can get your needs met more directly? Sunday, December 11th Moon in 13th tithi Trayodasi Moon continues to transit through Bharani nakshatra the majority of the day, stirring Yamas restraint and judgment. This constellation is symbolized by a yoni, which expresses great strengh, as well as the powerful portal of death and life. All birthing requires a death and all deaths by default create a birthing. Ruling deity, Yama, is connected to both territories- as he judges ones karma at the gateway of both life and death. Stay true to the transformations taking place within you today. What is dying and what is being reborn? Allow the release to take place and make your intentions known. Early evening, Moon shifts to Krittika nakshatra and Agni's transformational energy supports your transformations even further. Lean in. Late evening, Moon jumps into its sign of exaltation, Taurus, bringing the emotional body to full capacity. Move with the tides, not against them. Mars moves to Aquarius on December 11th at 05:54 am MST, joining Ketu here. Both receive direct gaze from Rahu which will instigate a certain closing of the Kala Sarpa Yoga effects. No doubt there will be an intensification of the rocky past few months as Mars nears exact conjunction with Ketu on December 27th. There will be some final release and forced letting go as a result of these two fiery planets conjoining in the sign of duality. There may be confusion about how to integrate porlarities and extremes until Mars shifts to Pisces on January 20th. Mars is the warrior planet- not a thinker, but an action taker. He does not lead with his mind or his heart, but with his action-oriented approach to life. "Doing" is his claim to fame. Ketu brings cutting, sudden shifts and changes, awakening through release, as well as trauma through sudden loss. He is the tail of the serpent energy that Rahu instigates. As the Kala Sarpa Yoga comes to a close with this Mars cycle, expect themes with polarities to present themselves more aggressively. This is a time of radical integration and alignment with your True Self. Read more about Mars in Aquarius Monday, December 12th Moon in 14th tithi Chaturdasi Moon is nearing Purnima (fullness) and emotional waves increase to high tide. Moon transits Krittika nakshatra, Agni's domain, sparking the fire of life, the powerful force of alchemy and transformation. Moon is exalted for the first hour of the day, promising a potent week ahead. As the morning takes hold, Moon moves into its mulitrikona degrees- still strong, but the intensity dwindles. Just after noon, Moon moves to Rohini nakshatra, the highly creative star notorious for manifestation and material wealth. What are you manifesting in the cycle to come? Get clear on your goals, action steps and intentions. * All timing is Mountain Standard Time. Prepare for the year ahead with clarity, direction and right action.

Move closer to the light of your soul and recommit to your heart wisdom. Attend to your inner darkness with compassion and loving kindness. Moon is waxing and gaining strength. The week begins as Venus arrives in Sagittarius, floating in the gandanta (gap) between water and fire. This is a delicate transition, impacting relationships and feminine energy directly. Mercury moves to Scorpio on Tuesday, provoking depth and transformation within the mind. Sun continues through its debilitation sign, causing challenges to power, authority and masculine energy. Balance is needed, while integration of polarities is vital. Land in the body and keep moving closer to grounding, earth and embodiment.

Get the Details + RSVP Just before midnight on Sunday, November 6th, Venus moves to a new friends sign, leaping into the tricky gandanta between watery Scorpio and fiery Sagittarius. Venus arrives in Mula nakshatra, the first of three in Sagittarius. The entire constellation of Mula is considered a gandanta, a gap, that provokes challenges, uprooting and change. As planets pass through this nakshatra, an inevitable change takes place with the indications of that planet. Mula is infamous for chaos, calamity, uprooting and imbalance, as well as adharma- that which is against dharma. At the same time, Mula can also bring great depth and spirituality, but often due to navigating hardship and challenge. The unavoidable changes of this Venus cycle provoke challenges with all things Venus. Women and your relationships will feel the most impact. This will not a comfortable ride for many. In the coming days, stay closely connected to your needs, to heart and to your emotional body wisdom. Notice where you are disconnecting from your self, rather than staying close to home, to Self and spirit. What actions and choices need to be removed once and for all? Stay away from excess sugar, intoxicants, alcohol, foods and choices that keep you disconnected. Be mindful of old addictive patterns and behaviors that may return at this time to sabotage your forward momentum. Read more about Venus in Sagittarius Monday, November 7th Moon in 8th tithi Ashtami Moon continues through Sravana nakshatra until late afternoon. Vishnu brings his dharmic support, his all-pervasive awareness and expansion to the day. There is a certain strength in the inner realms today. Tap into the subtleties of mind and emotions. Land and linger within the inner landscape. Stay in the present, arrive in the stillness, conquer the fear of past and future. Expansion of knowledge and wisdom comes to those who look. Seek this wisdom within. Moon shifts to Dhanishta late in the day, sparking Mars energy and the light of the Vasu Devas. Take the inner awareness that arrived earlier in the day, into creative action! Mercury moves to the edge of Libra, preparing to shift into Scorpio tomorrow. Attend to the mental body. It's seeking balance, alignment and focus. 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, your grief process, finances and relationships. Clarity, resources, guidance and support are life changing! Book A Session Tuesday, November 8th Moon in 9th tithi Navami Early morning, Moon arrives in Aquarius, while still moving through Dhanishta nakshatra. Moon conjuncts Ketu in the coming days, which invites sudden emotional body changes, awakening and insights. Expect the blinders to be ripped off. As Moon moves through the constellation of the Vasu Devas today, more light comes, the jyoti. Look and listen carefully. Move towards your inner awareness and move towards the light of your soul. Venus begins to gain strength as it arrives in the 2 degree range of Sagittarius. This also intensifies the awakening and sudden shifts possible as Venus moves through Mula nakshatra, a Ketu ruled constellation. This is an uprooting phase and the Moon will be supporting these changes in the coming days with the help of Ketu's transformational energy. At the same time, Mercury moves to Scorpio and will conjunct Saturn this month. A restructuring of the mental body is on the horizon. Late afternoon, Moon arrives in Satabisha nakshatra and Varuna brings his gaze of seriousness and scrutiny. There is also deep healing available in this constellation. Take the inner knowing and put it into self development work, self compassion and self support. It's election day in the USA. The current transits do not support clarity with the results of this election. Mercury shifts into Scorpio on November 8th at 11:54, for roughly three weeks. His fairly quick transit through the sign of depth and inner awareness, also brings a connection to Saturn at the same time. Mental body meets physical body, so it will be important to stay as resourced from your body wisdom as possible- for grounding, stabilizing and integration. This combination of Mercury and Saturn can increase mental worry, grief and fear. Look closely at these parts of your mind and work diligently to attend to and release the struggles and pains they provide. The fear is not the problem- it's your relationship with the fear that matters. Much learning can take place while.... Read more about Mercury in Scorpio Wednesday, November 9th Moon in 10th tithi Dashami Moon continues through the Rahu ruled constellation of Satabisha, receiving gaze from Rahu and conjunct Ketu. Move beyond the confusion and uncertainty and seek clarity, purpose and inner knowing. Take your struggles and turn them into resources. What are your basic needs? What are you prepared to do in order to get these needs met? Keep moving towards the nourishment and gather new resources and support to get you there. Late in the day, Moon shifts to Purvabhadrapada and to the outside of Ketu, breaking the Kala Sarpa yoga effects for the coming two weeks. My experience recently has been that this is provoking more of a Kala Amrita effect, which forces release and letting go. On the back side of the transit, gains arrive, only to be swiftly released as Moon returns to the inner confines of the Rahu and Ketu axis. This results in sudden highs and lows over the course of each month. Read more about the effects of this Kala Sarpa yoga which lasts until January. Thursday, November 10th Moon in 11th tithi Ekadashi Late morning, Moon moves to Pisces, receiving direct gaze from Jupiter. Deep release is taking place as the Moon completes a cycle through the zodiac. The Bhadrapada constellations are connected to the funeral cot, which connects specifically with the transformational process of death and release. As Moon finishes up its passage through this star pattern, let go and find ways to simplify your life on every level. This is especially valid for relationships, finances, comforts and all things Venus. Learn from the letting go and make an intention for using the space that remains with conscious awareness. Find your still point and stay connected to body. Please join me for a *free* November class on Sunday, November 13th. We will address your jyotish chart from a healing perspective- in order for you to fast track your inner awakening. Get the Details + RSVP Friday, November 11th Moon in 12th tithi Dvadasi Moon continues through Uttarabhadrapada today. Release grief and emotions by moving the body and let your internal waters flow. What are you cutting cords with from this past cycle? How have you honored your emotional body through this process? Drop into the pain and lean closer. There is a need within the darkness that is beckoning to you. Find the pearl of wisdom in your dark center. Move towards the pain and find ways to get deeper nourishment as a result of this awareness. Just after noon, Moon moves to Revati nakshatra, bringing closer and endings to this cycle. As Moon passes through the final constellation of the zodiac, endings and release arrive, while ruling deity, Pushan, provides nourishment and support for the changes ahead. He is a resource provider, bringing help for the journey. Are you receptive and open to receive? Notice where you are resisting. Move closer to your emotional body waves and deepen your capacity to feel. Saturday, November 12th Moon in 13th tithi Trayodasi Pushan provides nourishment and support for the journey until late morning when Moon moves to the gap in between Pisces and Aries. This gandanta is particularly challenging as the emotional body and inner waters move from endings to beginnings, water to fire. Vulnerability, sensitivity and possibility awaken. Linger in the vulnerability and power of this moment and invite in the potential. What are you intentions for the days and weeks ahead? As the Moon arrives in Aries and Ashwini nakshatra late Saturday morning, a new cycle is ushered in. Spend time with rejuvenation and healing right now. Attend to health regimens and rest. Exalted Mars and Rahu give their gaze to the Moon until Monday, which intensifies emotions- especially anger and aggression. As the Moon waxes, emotions are intensifying. Track the feelings. What are the needs? There will be some inevitable release and letting go today. Surrender to the emptiness. Find your stillness. Please join me for a *free* November class on Sunday, November 13th. We will address your jyotish chart from a healing perspective- in order for you to fast track your inner awakening. Get the Details + RSVP Sunday, November 13th Moon in 14th tithi Chaturdasi Mid morning, Moon arrives in Bharani nakshatra and Yama brings his restraint. Yama is responsible for transformation, death and restraint. The symbolism of this constellation is a yoni- expressing both immense power and vulnerability. There's a transformation taking place with the feminine today. Venus rules this constellation and is currently transiting through Mula nakshatra, uprooting and provoking chaos- especially with all things feminine and Venus. Intense feelings move today. Can you feel the waves? Anger and rage, mixed with uncertainty and confusion. Drop your convictions and find ways to release the big emotions. Come back to your heart. This is your true super power. What are the underlying needs? What choices need to be adjusted? Monday, November 14th Moon in 15th tithi Purnima 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. 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, your grief process, finances and relationships. Clarity, resources, guidance and support are life changing! Book A Session This Week's Intention: Seek balance, integration and harmony- inside and out. Be diligent with your polarities. Find equality with your darkness and light. Monday begins on the heels of a new Moon, offering a sense of deep emptiness and release. With Sun debilitated right now in Libra, it's the lowest point of the year, with the least amount of light support and vitality. Vulnerability it high. Attend to health, wellness and nourishment. Go slow and get plenty of rest. Be gentle with your body and relationships. Easy does it, especially as Mars shifts to its exaltation sign at the first part of the week. The tendency will be to charge forward, but the rest of the planets aren't supporting this level of wild enthusiasm. Seek integration and balance with being vs. doing. The October New Moon occurred at 11:38 MDT on Sunday, the 30th, Coinciding with Diwali, the Festival of Lights. Moon is transiting Libra and Swati nakshatra at this time. This constellation is ruled by Vayu, the wind god, who brings powerful forces of change and movement with him. He is cosmic breath, prana, supporting all the internal Vayus. He is your breath of life, the breath of the gods, the breath of Nature. The immense strength of the Rudras comes from Vayu. Hanuman is a Rudra, who proved his extreme powers when he leaped to Lanka, saving Sita and upholding dharma. This right action was an act of devotion towards Lord Rama. This new Moon sparks an immense change process, spearheaded by Vayu himself. Read more about the New Moon in Libra Monday, October 31st Moon in 1st and 2nd tithi Pratipad and Dvititya Just as Monday begins, Moon arrives in Vishaka nakshatra, activating the dual god, Indragni. This dual rulership between the king and high priest, represents the necessity for co-creation in order to sustain life. Indra and Agni are separate deities, but when they combine, they increase their individual power. Indra is the king of the gods, while Agni is the transformational energy of fire- king and priest. Each supports the other and makes their roles in life possible. Moon is still seeking balance, integration and harmony today. Support your emotional body with grounding and stabilizing resources. Just before Mars shifts to Capricorn, Moon moves to its debilitation sign, Scorpio, joining Saturn and Venus here. Seek balance with inner and outer. At 20:35 MDT, Mars moves to his exaltation sign, Capricorn, until December 11th. This begins many fiery days ahead, with potent action oriented expression, as the warrior planet steps into his most powerful sign. There is much movement in the weeks ahead. The intention and driving force is nourishment and attaining the nectar of life. However, this process must be done with balance and attention to integration and harmony. If there is imbalance within physical, mental, emotional or spiritual bodies, challenges, pain and hardship will arrive. Pay close attention to your inner aggression and force. At the same time, notice where you are resisting the nourishment you crave. Read more about Mars in Capricorn Tuesday, November 1st Moon in 2nd and 3rd tithi Dvitiya and Tritiya Early in the morning, Moon moves to Anuradha nakshatra in Scorpio. Moon will be debilitated until Thursday, creating an inward pull, with deeper introspection. This also increases the vulnerability at this time- with both Sun and Moon debilitated, Ruling planet of Scorpio, however, is now in its exaltation sign, bringing a certain determination and renewed energy of hope and power. Mars has not yet gained strength in degrees, so there is also some sensitivity and inward pull with Mars. This is a time to be very diligent with action steps, passion and purpose. Do not push too hard or force actions. Align with ease and gentleness as much as you can. Stay grounded and in the body, as the tendency will be to disconnect. Befriend the body today, befriend the self. Activate self love. Missing my daily, weekly and monthly jyotish posts? Free access ends Nov 15th! Sign up now for a Basic Membership. Wednesday, November 2nd Moon in 3rd tithi Tritiya Moon moves to Jyeshtha nakshatra mid morning, enlivening Mercury and Indra's power. As the king of the devas, he rules dharmic acts, positions of power and authority. Indra is life force energy himself. Worship Indra and you are worshiping prana. He rules the senses, which also means your sensitivity. Channel this sensitivity and power into directions and actions that move you forward and promote integration and balance, harmony and embodied momentum. Moon is in exact conjunction with Saturn and Venus today. These planets express ultimate balance and harmony. Seek resolution in mind and emotions today. Release what brings pain and illusion, while stepping into stillness and grounding. Find your center and deepen your roots here. Thursday, November 3rd Moon in 4th tithi Chaturthi Late morning, Moon leaps into Sagittarius and Mula nakshatra. Rahu gives his shadowed gaze as Moon moves through the challenging gandanta (gap) between water and fire signs. The entire constellation of Mula is considered a gandanta, a challenging gap that invokes chaos, uncertainty and uprooting. Ruling deity, Nirrti, is the dark goddess who brings adharma- that which is against dharma. Often this nakshatra will pull you from your path and purpose, but it can also bring you back- if you are willing to use the challenges as resources for deeper grounding and stability. Today, embodiment and simplicity are essential. Less is more. Avoid pushing or forcing outcomes. Find ways to soften and be gentle with yourself. Friday, November 4th Moon in 5th tithi Panchami The morning begins with Mula's disheveled offerings, so keep it simple and don't push too hard. Simple steps are required. Get in the body and stay out of the misery. Just before noon, Moon moves into Purvashadha nakshatra. Apas, the water goddess, provides flow, movement, and fluidity- especially for your internal waters. Move your body and your emotional body will follow the flow. Notice where you are being aggressive with yourself. Stop the war, stop the violence, within. Integrate and harmonize your masculine and feminine energy, your soft and your hard. Saturday, November 5th Moon in 6th tithi Sashthi Water is a primary resource for today as Moon continues through the domain of the water goddess the majority of the day. She provokes movement and flow of the inner waters. Find ways to support the channels and fluidity- through physical movement, crying, creating art, aligning with the heart, softening and stepping towards stillness. This is a time of rejuvenation and restoring. Early afternoon, Moon moves to Uttarashada and the all-gods arrive with support, resources and dharmic alliance. Stay true to course! Activate and align with your soul's purpose. Take steps towards clarity and your inner truth. Sunday, November 6th Moon in 7th tithi Saptami Moon continues through Uttarashada, provoking the Laws of Nature to activate. These universal principles apply to everyone- whether you are consciously aware of them or not. These "all-gods" are Goodness (Vasu), Truth (Satya), Determination (Kratu), Talent (Daksha), Time (Kala), Enjoyment (Kama), Firmness (Dhrti), Ancestors (Kuru), Abundance (Pururavas), Joy (Madrava), and Pleasantness (Rochana), Sight (Lochana), Fame (Dhvani), Leadership (Dhuri). These are all important characteristics to develop. It is through the feeling level obtained through the front half of this constellation, that these attributes can be obtained within, through this constellation. Mid morning, Moon arrives in the sacred 28th nakshatra, Abhijit. This is a spiritual portal that awakens the subtle layers of being. Moon continues through this gap until late afternoon. Use this time for meditation, stillness, integration, spending time in nature, and aligning with your inner realms. As Moon shifts into Sravana, Vishnu arrives with his wisdom of harmony and dharmic alignment. Strengthen your power and purpose. Just before midnight, Venus moves to a new friends sign, leaping into the tricky gandanta between watery Scorpio and fiery Sagittarius. Venus arrives in Mula nakshatra, the first of three in Sagittarius. The entire constellation of Mula is considered a gandanta, a gap, that provokes challenges, uprooting and change. As planets pass through this nakshatra, an inevitable change takes place with the indications of that planet. Mula is infamous for chaos, calamity, uprooting and imbalance, as well as adharma- that which is against dharma. At the same time, Mula can also bring great depth and spirituality, but often due to navigating hardship and challenge. Read more about Venus in Sagittarius Monday, November 7th Moon in 8th tithi Ashtami Moon continues through Sravana nakshatra until late afternoon. Vishnu brings his dharmic support, his all-pervasive awareness and expansion to the day. There is a certain strength in the inner realms today. Tap into the subtleties of mind and emotions. Land and linger within the inner landscape. Stay in the present, arrive in the stillness, conquer the fear of past and future. Expansion of knowledge and wisdom comes to those who look. Seek this wisdom within. Moon shifts to Dhanishta late in the day, sparking Mars energy and the light of the Vasu Devas. Take the inner awareness that arrived earlier in the day, into creative action! *Timing used is Mountain Daylight Time. Missing my daily, weekly and monthly jyotish posts? Free access ends Nov 15th!

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

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

Sunday, October 16th Moon in 1st tithi Pratipad Just as Sunday begins, Moon leaps into Aries, jump starting a new cycle and fresh starts. Open doors, require that you attend to the closing of doors as well. How are you honoring this process of release and letting go? Moon moves through the challenging gandanta (gap) between endings and beginnings today, which enlivens uncertainty, confusion, and vulnerability. The emotional body is fragile, porous and requires your presence. How can you honor your emotional body with intention today? Rahu gives his gaze which shadows the emotional body and invites extra confusion as Moon moves through Ashwini nakshatra. This is a time to rejuvenate and tend to self care diligently. Late evening, Moon arrives in Bharani. Yama requires your restraint. Keep it simple and clarify your needs. Sun shifts to its debilitation sign for the coming weeks on the 16th at 18:38. As he arrives in Libra, a softening of the masculine arrives. This often brings discomfort and disappointment from relationships. The masculine will be less available, less assertive and less present as a result of this transit. Notice your own relationship with your soft masculine. Are you resisting it or allowing it? This Sun cycle provokes a need for greater self awareness and understanding of the masculine. Read more about Sun in Libra Monday, October 17th Moon in 2nd tithi Dvitiya Moon continues to move through Bharani nakshatra. Look closely at your resistance today. There's a certain push back to getting your needs met, to honoring nourishment. What is the root of this resistance? Look closely at your needs and how they are not getting honored or supported. You are the cause of these unmet needs. You say you want it, but simultaneously aren't allowing the nourishment to arrive. Look closely at your fear of love, safety, holding and connection that you so deeply crave. Why are you saying no to what you so desperately yearn for? Late afternoon, Moon shifts to Krittika nakshatra. Transformation is arriving. The alchemy of change is taking place. Surrender to the process. * Timing used is Mountain Daylight Time. Join me for a *free* Full Moon Grief Ritual this Sunday, October 16th. Get the details and sign up! 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. This is the last Chance to Join!! This Week's Intention: Release, let go, transform, liberate, heal. Repeat. Moon continues to wax as the sacred nine day celebration of Navaratri continues to unfold. The week begins with the last day of three dedicated to Ma Durga. Cutting, clearing and transformation abound! What are you releasing and letting go of? Work actively this week to change and release that which is not serving you on the psycho/emotional levels of your being. The coming days offer support from exalted Mercury. This is a short window of time to accomplish tasks, clarify needs and take potent action steps. Make hay while the Sun shines (literally- Sun will be debilitated later this month, becoming dim and inward). As you enter the sacred gap of time that is the 10 day Navaratri celebration, notice what's arriving. I have experienced that the first three days of Navaratri initiate the changes and transformations you are working with in this release cycle. Often you must confront challenges and obstacles as a result. More nourishment and support is coming, but you can't receive it without this important step. What is arriving? What parts of your personal mythology are showing up as a mirror for you? How can you clear more space within? Let Durga's fierce warrior energy initiate and provoke awareness. Read more about the power of Navaratri Monday, October 3rd Moon in 3rd tithi Tritiya Swati nakshatra continues to bring powerful changes to feelings and emotions. Ruling Deity of Swati nakshatra, Vayu, the wind god, invites in swift movement and change. Whether it's a gentle breeze or huge gusts, winds of change are ushering in transformation. What are you tracking within your own personal landscape? Use your emotional body as a resource for discerning your needs. What is working? What is not? What resources and support are you missing? Late evening, Moon moves to Vishaka nakshatra. It is the third day of Navaratri and the third day and night dedicated to Ma Durga. Recite Durga mantras and listen to Chandi Path recitations for extra support. Today, use connection and integration as a way to transform. Dual gods, Indra and Agni rule over Vishaka and instigate the need for partnership and co-creation. Agni, the ultimate transformational element provides the spark for change. What are you burning and releasing? Allow the strength of Indra to supply you with the power you need to awaken your inner wisdom. Clarify, purify, release. Mercury moves back into its favorite sign, Virgo today. As he re-enters his sign of exaltation, he joins Jupiter and Sun as well. At this point, we may finally get the positive effects of an exalted Mercury, with the expansive wisdom of Jupiter and the illumination of the Sun to support the awareness. A strong mind will bring more clarity, purposeful communication and potent resources. For the benefits of exalted Mercury to be felt, it will require patience and strong intentions. Stay true to your direction and continue to take action towards goals and desires. Increased financial support will come with your diligence. Work consistently and pro-actively on clearing limiting beliefs and mental/emotional blockages during this cycle- all that is hindering your ability to step more powerfully into financial abundance. Gather resources and support for this process. Jupiter will be activating your expansion, but only with the right guidance and support. Tuesday, October 4th Moon in 4th tithi Chaturthi Moon continues through Vishaka nakshatra today, increasing the need for co-creation and collaboration. Gather, collect, connect, get support. What resources are you missing for more nourishment and holding? More guidance and wisdom? Say yes to what you need. Where are you blocking this receptivity? Where are you not allowing in what you need? Notice your inner battle with power and step into your vulnerability. Late afternoon, Moon moves to Scorpio, its sign of debilitation, joining Saturn here. As Moon and Saturn conjoin, grief and emotion are released. Where are you suppressing, avoiding or resisting this natural process? What undigested grief are you holding onto? What unprocessed losses continue to impact you- consciously and unconsciously? Late evening, Moon shifts to Anuradha nakshatra and Mitra brings his support through friendship, connection and relationship. He allows deeper connection to take place. Where are you resisting feeling, connecting, allowing and aligning with love? Hint: resisting your grief will keep you from being able to feel more love. It is the first day of three dedicated to Maha Lakshmi in the Navaratri celebration. It is a time of gathering resources for deeper nourishment- physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. Lakshmi will be soothing you in the coming days. A washing of your wounds will take place. Her abundance, nurturing, and wealth offer nourishment and support to us on all levels of life. Health is the ultimate wealth and Lakshmi brings this support at this time. Be receptive and receive her gifts. During the three days of Lakshmi, bring sweets and flowers to your altar, cook nourishing foods for your Self, decorate and adorn your body, the physical temple. This is a time to focus on self care diligently. Listen to Chandi Path recitations and use rituals that honor Lakshmi's nourishment and abundance. Did you miss my *free* Class? Use this resource to navigate Grief, Loss and Big Emotions. Listen Now Wednesday, October 5th Moon in 5th tithi Panchami Moon moves through Anuradha nakshatra, debilitated in Scorpio and conjunct Saturn. This is a powerful time to release undigested, unprocessed grief. Ruling planets of Scorpio, Mars and Ketu, provoke deep clearing, cutting and purging of embedded emotions. Mars is still moving through the challenging constellation Mula, which is dedicated to uprooting and harsh release. Ketu is transiting Satabisha nakshatra, a constellation that offers depth, healing and intense confrontation with the shadow. Be gentle with yourself today and tomorrow as your darkness will be meeting the light, coming to the surface- your conscious awareness. Use resources, gather support and take action steps that help you get your needs met. Consider this a wake up call. It is the second day of three dedicated to Maha Lakshmi in the Navaratri celebration. It is a time of gathering resources for deeper nourishment- physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.

Thursday, October 6th Moon in 6th tithi Sashthi Just as Thursday begins, Moon moves to Jyeshtha nakshatra, in exact conjunction with Saturn. Mind and emotions will be feeling the pressure directly today. Indra will be provoking high sensitivity, while simultaneously bringing depth, power and clarity. How do you use this wisdom for empowerment, rather than self destruction? Honor your senses today and avoid over stimulation. Spend extra time with Nature and stay as close to the body as possible. Get embodied, rather than letting the mind win the battle. It is the third day of three dedicated to Maha Lakshmi in the Navaratri celebration. It is a time of gathering resources for deeper nourishment- physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. Today, it is especially vital to soothe mind and emotions. Notice how mental body stories can dis-empower you. Lakshmi will be soothing you in the coming days. A washing of your wounds will take place.

Use this resource to navigate Grief, Loss and Big Emotions. Listen Now Friday, October 7th Moon in 7th tithi Saptami Early in the morning, Moon leaps into Sagittarius and Mula nakshatra. This is a gandanta point, a gap, which is notorious for being extremely challenging. Moon conjuncts Mars here, and receives gaze from Rahu, which heats and agitates the emotional body. It can also bring powerful experiences of the Divine Mother. The entire constellation of Mula is considered a gandanta point which can feel very ungrounded, overwhelming and traumatic. Ruled by Ketu, this nakshatra is notorious for disconnection. Its symbol is a bundle of roots. Uprooting is synonymous with Mula nakshatra. Consider today as a potent day of change and transformation. This process will likely be uncomfortable and challenging. Release is often painful. What are you releasing and letting go of? What grief and big emotions have you been avoiding, resisting? Now is the time to allow the flow, the waves, the crash. Trust you will find your way back to shore. For now attend to the letting go. It is the first day of three dedicated to Goddess Saraswati. She gives us knowledge, understanding, wisdom, creativity and artistry. She is the rasayana (or healing balm) if you will to close this sacred nine day celebration. Remember that together, all three goddesses bring wholeness, renewal, and the life giving offerings of Shakti. This creative life-force energy is truly what inspires life, living and abundance. How are you clearing space within your body and life for more Shakti, life-force energy? For the final portion of Navaratri, which is dedicated to Goddess Saraswati, music, dance, art and poetry can be a good way to focus your energy, efforts and intentions. Use creativity, artistry and embodiment resources for grounding and landing in your intentions. Use one of my Creative Rituals for support with this process. Activate and align with your creative intelligence. What are you creating in your life? How are you creating more space for this? Use your creativity as a resource for transformation. Don't Miss my *free* Grief Class on Sunday, October 9th. Gather resources, guidance and support during this powerful time of Navaratri. Join Now Saturday, October 8th Moon in 8th tithi Ashtami Early Saturday, Moon and Mars shift into PurvaAshada nakshatra almost simultaneously. This marks a big shift in the transformational energy of this time. The uprooting comes to a close, and Apas, the water goddess, brings in rejuvenation and restoration. Consider this the wave that brings you back to shore. There will be emotional body waves, as Apas connects to flowing water. Your job is to do whatever it takes to keep your inner waters flowing, moving, transforming. Let dance, yoga and the arts support the movement, creativity and change process taking place within you. Allow the waves to come. Let your emotional body flow. Use resources that encourage your creative intelligence to bubble up to the conscious awareness. You have been clearing a lot of space within your bodies recently. How are you attending to this space within? Don't fill it too quickly. Stay here and linger a while longer. It is the second day of three dedicated to Goddess Saraswati. She gives us knowledge, understanding, wisdom, creativity and artistry. She is the rasayana (or healing balm) if you will to close this sacred nine day celebration. Remember that together, all three goddesses bring wholeness, renewal, and the life giving offerings of Shakti. This creative life-force energy is truly what inspires life, living and abundance. How are you clearing space within your body and life for more Shakti, life-force energy? For the final portion of Navaratri, which is dedicated to Goddess Saraswati, music, dance, art and poetry can be a good way to focus your energy, efforts and intentions. Use creativity, artistry and embodiment resources for grounding and landing in your intentions. Use one of my Creative Rituals for support with this process. Activate and align with your creative intelligence. What are you creating in your life? How are you creating more space for this? Use your creativity as a resource for transformation. Don't Miss my *free* Grief Class on Sunday, October 9th. Gather resources, guidance and support during this powerful time of Navaratri. Join Now Sunday, October 9th Moon in 9th tithi Navami Moon moves to UttaraAshada late morning, yet Mars and Rahu still give their influence. There's a strong energy of anger and deception touching the emotional body. Where do you feel this in your body? Ruling planet of this nakshatra is Sun, who brings the light. Seek illumination, resources, answers and explanations. UttaraAshada is ruled by the Vishva Devas who seek right action and dharmic alignment. Where are you honoring your dharmic path? Where are you resisting or avoiding your ancestral power? As Moon shifts into Capricorn early afternoon, Saturn's influence returns. Both Saturn and Jupiter give their gaze to the Moon as well. Seek steadiness, balance and integration. The physical body is your entry point for these resources. Get into the body and land within. It is the third day of three dedicated to Goddess Saraswati. She gives us knowledge, understanding, wisdom, creativity and artistry. She is the rasayana (or healing balm) if you will to close this sacred nine day celebration. Remember that together, all three goddesses bring wholeness, renewal, and the life giving offerings of Shakti. This creative life-force energy is truly what inspires life, living and abundance.

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