Moon Mind
10.11 & 10.12 Today (10.11) Moon transits Sagittarius in PurvaAshada nakshatra until 21:16 CDT when it then moves to UttaraAshada nakshatra (until 19:50 CDT tomorrow). The day moves with the essence of purification, gaining clarity and cleansing since Apas, the water goddess, rules the day. Later in the evening and tomorrow, Vishvadeva comes into focus and our attention moves towards being seen, shining, our moral standards and navigating "good character" and ethics. Watch for self-righteousness or overly aggressive agendas. Be mindful of the spectrum of needs and how others may be effected with your behavior. Dream your dreams and take action oriented steps towards your dharma. Think outside of the box and get creative. Moon moves to Sravana and into Capricorn on 10.12 where Vishnu brings his expansive qualities to us. Gaining wisdom and awareness rules the day, yet it may come with the essence of expansion and contraction, restriction and unfolding. Use today for meditation, yoga, structured activities that help serve your awareness. Listen carefully and move towards dharma. Trust the process and the steps you are taking to make your desires manifest. Notice this weekend how the goddess of wisdom, creativity, art and knowledge is subtly effecting you and your environment. Saraswati brings her blessings to us during this time. Give your gratitude and respect, offer your prayers and desires, light your altar fire. Bring her beauty out and bring her beauty within. Let her nurture your heart song. Sing your praises and dance your dance.

{Weekend} Moon Mind :::
Saturday 9.14 Moon in Sagittarius and moves from PurvaAshada, Apas (the water goddess), to UttaraAshada (Vishvadeva, universal principles + dharma) at 15:38 CDT. The day is suited towards cleaning and purifying and then working towards good deeds and service that build good character. This is a time to shine and reflect the brilliance of others with praise and compliments, well wishes and truths (satya). Sun is still in its own sign and can promote honor and fame, but is sandhi (gap) now and so weakened. Be like the Moon- reflect the Sun's bright light, and create your own brilliance. Moon Moves into Capricorn at 21:10 CDT. Sunday 9.15 Moon moves into Sravana nakshatra at 13:47 CDT, ruled by Visnu, the all see-er and all-knower, and connected to Akasha (space). The transmission of dharma comes to the ear through akasha and dharma was once passed via an oral tradition, so dharma is enlivened here as well. Expect movement and momentum today but watch for angry outbursts. See below for details regarding stormy weather. * Storm season is in full effect- especially with water and its natural movement. The Rudra energy of Rahu and Saturn's conjunction in Libra with Venus (who is jala/water) all are now in Swati nakshatra (ruled by Rahu), creating storms, movement with water and ultimately intense house cleaning. With Mars still debilitated in the water sign of Cancer (in a Saturn nakshatra), this heightens issues with water. Ketu is also in Bharani nakshatra ruled by Venus- so a lot of water is present in the planets right now; water that is ultimately clearing and purifying. All of this water may be quite uncomfortable, so have a life vest handy. We are witnessing Nature express these storms externally through rains/flooding in CO etc. But on the internal landscape, many of us are feeling the emotional weather effects as well. Water and emotions are one and the same so one can predict clouds, floods, rains, thunder and lightening internally also. As my mentor put it "the Saturn/Rahu/Venus conjunction is creating a stellar opportunity to face demons [rakshasas]...the strong winds are cracking stuff loose in the most positive way and Lakshmi's broom is sweeping it away." We can see that this is necessary movement and change, clearing and cleaning- both internally and externally. This is a time to use your sharpest, most effective tools. Yagyas, energy work, meditation, good routine, appeasing Saturn, creating with art etc. will all go a long way to weather the storms. If we can see the cleansing as positive and ultimately useful, it will help transform our attitude towards the effects, but don't be complacent. Water = creativity/creation energy. This weekend: create, create, create!! * Creative Engagement Activity for the week of 9.9 ::: http://www.swatijrjyotish.com/1/post/2013/09/creative-engagement-activity-for-the-week-of-99.html "...your creative engagement post was just what I needed." ~A.B. {Still 5 days of Ganesh Chaturthi}
Moon Mind ::: Friday 9.13 Moon transits Sagittarius in Mula nakshatra until 17:20 CDT when it moves to PurvaAshada. Mula is ruled by Nirrti, the goddess of adharma and dishevelment. The connection to Ketu here brings her ability to uproot and dismember into effect. As Moon moves into PurvaAshada, Apas (the water goddess) takes over. Her cleaning and clearing effect will soften and move out anything brought to the surface by Nirrti. However, storm season is in full effect- especially with water and its movement. Later today, Apas will bring more water with her. The Rudra energy of Rahu and Saturn's conjunction in Libra with Venus (who is jala/water) all are now in Swati nakshatra (ruled by Rahu), creating storms, movement with water and ultimately intense house cleaning. With Mars still debilitated in the water sign of Cancer (in a Saturn nakshatra), this heightens issues with water.

Saturday, 8.17 Moon in Sagittarius and moves from Mula nakshatra ruled by the goddess of adharma, Nirrti, and into Purvashada nakshatra at 10:29 CDT. Purvashada is ruled by the water goddess Apas and relates to searching, feeling, movement and purification. Be particularly aware of emotions that surface around relationships today. Take necessary self-care and self-preservation if heat and aggression come at you or through you. Work with what is and move with it, not against it. Sun has entered it's own sign, Leo, and is in Magha nakshatra. Be present to your ancestors, particularly father's lineage. Be present to your lineage's effects on you; give your gratitude, blessings and love for all the stories. Make an offering on your altar. Stay out of the heat, but stay in the light.

for Tuesday, 5.28 Moon in Sagittarius and moves to UttarAshada nakshatra at 01:39 CDT. UttarAshada is ruled by Vishvadeva, often called the "all-gods" or universal principles/Laws of Nature. These principles include aspects of the Self that show good character and strong integrity. These attributes (names of the Vishvas/all-gods) are: Goodness, truth, determination, talent, time, enjoyment, firmness, ancestors, abundance, joy, pleasantness, sight, fame, and leadership. It is the awareness of feelings, emotions and compassion (acquired through the previous nakshatra PurvAshada) that one is able to develop these positive character traits. Personal power is often a priority of these natives. One must remember to stick with dharma in order to align with ethical means of growth, expansion and fortune. Much success can be achieved here with hard work, conscious action and concentration on mastering skills, but compassion and awareness of the feelings and needs of others is a must for true achievement to take place. Today requires balance in heart and mind, spirit and soul, outer and inner. Jupiter (ruler of Sagittarius) is weak as it transits the gap (sandhi) and into Gemini on Thursday. Do right, be right, live right is the current mantra. |
