12.4 Moon transiting Sagittarius with a sandhi Venus, both receiving drishti from Jupiter, Saturn and Mars. Moon moves to PurvaAshada nakshatra at 12:35 CST. Moon is in the auspicious 3rd tithi (Tritiya) and in the waxing phase (Kali phase) of Shukla Paksha. Today is a "get the job done" kind of day while utilizing effective strategies for best results. Set goals, make a to do list, work backwards from the desired outcome with effective action steps. Then, let go, and go with the flow. 12.5 Venus is sandhi (in the gap) and moves to Capricorn at 2:05 CST. Moon moves to UttarAshada at 9:54 CST. Plant seeds of desire today and use a theme of "self care" for harvesting rich rewards. Some ease is coming in the next few weeks with regard to relationships, money and luxuries. Enjoy the moments of comfort. Today, make your list of desires. Think big and dream big. Expansion is inevitable. Shine brightly in order to attract what you want.

Horoscopes for the Week of 11.25
Moon is waning (dark half/Krishna Paksha) and moves through Leo, Virgo, Libra and into Scorpio later this week. Moon debilitated in Scorpio on 12.1 and 12.2 with the New Moon on 12.2 at 18:23 CST. New Moon in Jyestha nakshatra brings with it a connection to Indra, the senses and life force. The next few weeks during the waxing phase (Shukla Paksha) will bring opportunities for each of us to cultivate awareness with sensory perceptions, our relationship to inner and outer storms, and how the mental body is connected to these experiences. Dharma and our sense of purpose will also play a part in our experiences. For some of us, our innate sensitivity will allow us to navigate the inner landscape with deeper awareness which will offer rich insights. Don’t shut down or shut off. As of 11.26, Mars has moved to Virgo, giving drishti to Aries and Ketu as well as Sagittarius and Venus. The heat is on. Mars is not friends with Virgo’s ruler, Mercury, which becomes weak in degrees later this week (sandhi) as it transits into Scorpio. Watch for mind games, tension with communication, strains on relationships as well as quick and sudden changes in thought. Mercury moves to Scorpio on 11.30 at 22:19 CST where it joins the Sun. This is a time where relationships are at the forefront of our life experience. How are we relating and who are relating to? What old communication systems need to be addressed and re-patterned? There is both expansion and contraction likely- what is your response? Cultivate a sense of presence and compassion for your Self and others- even in the face of challenges. Keep tabs on emotions and use them as a tool for cultivating awareness. Jupiter and Venus have been giving direct drishti to each other from Gemini and Sagittarius respectively. In the early hours of 11.28 (Thanksgiving day for those in USA) they will be in exact degrees. These two planets cross and then separate in the coming days. The recent expansion with relationships, business, creativity and knowledge begin to shift. Later in the week a new intensity enters our relationships, expression and communication. A certain pressure will be felt as Venus gets both expansive and contractive drishti and a heated intensity from Mars. Striving for a new sense of balance will be even more important in the coming weeks. Expect a few tests. Utilize my jyoti/creative arts activities as a healing & awareness tool. This week's Jyoti/Expressive Art Therapy Creative Engagement Activity is centered around support and stability and has us working with the hands. *Horoscopes are based on your Vedic rising sign. You can also check your Moon and Sun signs for further insight. Do the same with your Navamsa signs for further clarity. Do not use these horoscopes with your “Western Sign” as there is likely no correlation. These horoscopes are meant to be used as a broad overview of the current transits and obviously do not address the specifics of an individual’s unique chart. Aries: Watch for missed opportunities with communication, relationships and self development. These coming weeks bring the ability to work with old patterns enmeshed in anger, mental turmoil and old soul wounds. Will you take a step forward or retreat? Will you let the negative Self talk win, or choose a relationship with a more positive outcome with new awareness? Quit beating your self up, just pick a direction and take a step forward. Trust your Self to make good decisions. Taurus: Relationships are getting an overhaul right now. Use insights from the past but gain new resources for increased depth and comfort. Mind and body are deeply interconnected. Your gut intelligence gives powerful information to you. Can you hear its messages? Passion, romance and intuition are high right now. Same old predictable patterns, or are you using a new strategy this time? Look and listen before you leap. Gemini: Head and heart continue their dance. The coming weeks offer insights into some bad habits that you continue to maintain unconsciously with your relationships and romances. Care to take a gander at your old bag of tricks? Friends and older siblings may be able to give some insights for growth. Make your self accountable for relationship issues and don’t bypass them. You will be tempted by many shiny objects, but this time you must make a different choice in order for a different outcome. Cancer: Courage and communication hold clues to your present circumstances. What are you not saying? What needs to be communicated? Is there a better way to do so? There may be accurate mental awareness that is not yet fully integrated. You are learning a lot about how to protect and honor your own needs, but watch for land mines, old patterns and default behaviors- especially in your relationships. Don’t over consume sweets and intoxicants. Leo: Lessons come in dark packages sometimes. The kind that burn your mouth, are hard to swallow, and leave you with heart burn. But a lesson learned offers great rewards when approached with attention. Use courage to step into the hard parts, touch the rough edges and navigate your inner, rocky terrain. Dare your Self to look at your own actions with a microscope and use what you see for a new type of action. Virgo: Action steps are coming. Stepping towards goals and desires are becoming more possible with new and powerful momentum. You gain some mental focus in the coming weeks that will help make this more possible, but watch for turmoil within the mental body as there is risk of stop/start tension and action/inaction anxiety. Take baby steps if necessary, but action steps are essential, even if you go in the “wrong” direction at first. Don’t worry, you can always Self correct. Libra: You and your relationships are subject to sudden outbursts. What are the take-aways with these experiences? What needs are not being met for you? This is a time of great metamorphosis for you. Keep track of what you are learning. Use art as a courageous resource and cultivate a new relationship with self expression. Everything and everyone is a potent mirror. Use it. Scorpio: Some things are actually going your way right now and a sense of accomplishment and pride are what you have to show for it. Maybe even a sense of resilience and focus that has been missing recently. You are, however, feeling a sense of urgency with goals, agendas and inner work. Use this time of soul shine to get the job done on the inner/outer dimensions. Continue to count your gains and blessings. Sagittarius: Ride this wave of expansion and desire happening right now and see where it takes you. Strong career desires have set in suddenly as well as an urge to act on them. They will go through a transformation in the coming weeks, as your soul transforms from the inside out. Perhaps your aspirations get more clear and more focused as a result? Quit worrying about the small stuff, just take action steps. They really add up. Capricorn: A change is coming to you from your depths. Words are changing, mind is moving into deeper and darker places of illumination. Ask friends and older siblings for insights and to help you make connections, but rely on your inner guidance for the bottom line. Take much needed time in bed- alone or with a special lover. Retreats, extra pampering and R & R are in order. Aquarius: The awareness you have been working with over the past few weeks begins to gain strength and becomes a resource now, an offering to you in your work and personal relationships. Some new integration has taken place in the mental body but the coming weeks bring new ways to challenge these insights. Be courageous enough to look into old territory and question what you have thought to be true. Pisces: Suddenly you are feeling more focused and ready to charge forward. A bit more support is being felt too which helps with career, creativity and joyful courage. However, relationships may be heated and subject to miscommunications and misinterpretations so pause before speaking. Mental body will be in a place of power and growth in the coming weeks, so take every experience in as a lesson for expanded awareness and Self mastery. Moon Mind :::
Thursday, 11. 7 Moon transiting PurvaAshada nakshatra, transiting Sagittarius with Venus there as well- both receiving drishti from Saturn and Jupiter. The energy of today brings both expansion and contraction to mind, emotions and intuition, while the water goddess, Apas (ruler of PuvaAshada), reminds us to go with the flow. Today, focus on cleansing, purifying and finding ways to soothe and be soothed. Tend to emotions and stay out of the "big picture". Instead let the little joys and simple pleasures be enough. Celebrate your "small step" successes. Find the love and pass it on. Jupiter is now retrograde. Get the details via this week's horoscopes: http://www.swatijrjyotish.com/1/post/2013/11/horoscopes-for-the-week-of-114.html Moon Mind :::
Tuesday 10.1, Wednesday 10.2 Moon transits Leo in Magha nakshatra. Ruled by Pitr, this nakshatra is connected to the ancestors, and often specifically the father. Today, honor your ancestors, your lineage and those who have walked before you- either by silent remembrance, or through elaborate displays of gratitude. Venus is sandhi (transiting the gap) and in Vishaka nakshatra still. Indragni rules this nakshatra and reminds us of our altar offerings, alchemy, transformation and the spark of fire that creates life giving change. Avoid heavy foods today and excess sweets. Burn a candle on your altar and invoke the gratitude for your full range of experience in life. This is a grande lila- life drama, and we have a cast of characters to work with. Moon moves to Purvaphalguni in the early morning on 10.2 as Venus shifts into Scorpio and debilitated Mars goes sandhi. Relationships, sexuality, sustaining our relations, and our karmic patterns take center stage and will be a theme during Venus's transit through Scorpio this month. Be aware that hidden, suppressed and forgotten parts of ourselves will be at the root of our concerns and calamities. Are you willing to do the work to uncover the mysteries? To peel back another layer of the veil? To experience your full range of emotion and your love debts in order to advance? Now is the time to be courageous in your pursuit of self- liberation. There is no hiding from the truth, but we can still dance with compassion for ourselves and others. Moon is waning (dark half) and transits Taurus, Gemini and Cancer this week. Moon is in its sign of exaltation the 23rd to 25th and in its own sign of Cancer 29th to 30th. Aim towards flourishing and thriving this week with deep surrender.
Mercury is sandhi (in the gap/weak degrees) until late in the week and moves out of its sign of exaltation and into Libra on the 9.24 where it joins Rahu, Saturn and Venus there. Mars is currently sandhi in Cancer (its sign of debilitation). Mental/emotional tension, sensitivity, confusion and exhaustion are possible. Remember your self-care. Saturn and Rahu are in tight conjunction in Libra this week and collide in exact degrees on 9.25 with Mercury and Venus in Libra at that time as well. Four planets here will increase the energetics of Libra and will increase the movement and momentum with communications, mental activities and functions, commerce, business and trade. Rahu, Saturn and Mercury are in Swati nakshatra right now, ruled by the wind god, Vayu. The winds of change are blowing. Venus is now in Vishaka nakshatra. Expect increases, expansion and changes with alliances, support systems, relationships and business. This is a time of storm energy, "cleaning house" so to speak, forced change for better or worse. Spread your wings and surrender to the winds. See my articles on Rahu and Saturn in Libra for further details. Tap into your creative impulses and utilize your creation potential with this week's Jyoti/Expressive Art Therapy Creative Engagement Activity. Creative Engagement Activity for the week of 9.23. *Horoscopes are based on your Vedic rising sign. You can also check your Moon and Sun signs for further insight. Do the same with your Navamsa signs for further clarity. Do not use these horoscopes with your “Western Sign” as there is likely no correlation. These horoscopes are meant to be used as a broad overview of the current transits and obviously do not address the specifics of an individual’s unique chart. Aries: Speak, communicate, express, voice, sing. Tell the universe your desires and needs, then shout them from the top of the mountain. Get bold about what you attract and what you think you deserve. Use this time for a mental/emotional paradigm shift. Clean the pysche so there is room for a new reality and new relationships. Taurus: Being in service of the Self is important for your healing, growth and expansion. Seva for the soul. Find your healthy boundary set point- likely uncharted territory up until now. What is it that you are longing for and what is the hole that needs to be filled? Keep digging below the earth. Plant some seeds. Gemini: Be the beginner, the student, the child. Witness with eyes wide open in awe and excitement. Connect, communicate and create. Expand and trust your passionate inner realms. Find that missing piece this week. Trust the process. Cancer: Heart is softening, changing and getting a chamber cleaning. Expand, contract. Inhale, exhale. Stand still, step forward. Work with needs and wants, hurts and haunts. Stay low to the ground, feet in cool soil. Ground with earth energy. All love flows to the self. Leo: Effort, bravery, courage, will power, creativity and the hands, bring success and potential to you. You are likely feeling some comfort in your actions- say it loud and proud. But what holds you back still? Who and what continues to outshine you? Will the ego set you back or step you forward? Virgo: Do not shut down your powerful voice and the need to communicate! Seek comfort and create what you need. Though internal rumblings from your dark depths and hidden realms continue to bring illumination and fears to the surface, use this dragon fire to spark something. You are losing some naivete. Enjoy it. Libra: Head clearing or head pressure? Endings or beginnings? Charge forward or slow down and rest? You are in the thick of storm season and life's drama is casting you as their main character. All you have to do is use your surrender button. Let go, let God. Breathe. Scorpio: You are trying to reconcile with these feelings of being hidden, feeling alone, the unknown and uncertain. The life long complaints. You seek true community, companionship, expansion of self and your efforts to finally pay off, but fear it simultaneously. Let some magic in this week and let go of some misery. Seek to attract what you are repulsed by. Sagittarius: Gains, friendships, children, and decisions are going through transformations. Is your intelligences spot on or spot off- or both? Social interactions will increase this week but may leave you feeling drained and unsatisfied. What are you really craving for your life and how can you maximize your shine from the inside out? Capricorn: A week of maximum flow, maximum activation, maximum potential. What is holding you back from realizing your maximum? Who? What? What continues to go unseen is your greatest enemy. Expand what is possible. Aquarius: Less philosophizing, more embodiment. Less mental body, more physical. Less focus on action and achievement, more surrender to the emotions. Less looking to others, more looking within. Pick up your paint brush. Pisces: Debts, losses, transformations have blown in their haunts. Much of what has been hidden to you is painfully revealing itself. This is a time where blinders are getting ripped off. The only thing to lose is the known. The only thing to gain is moksha. |
