February Full Moon Wisdom + Creative Ritual

2/17/2019

Picture


On the 19th of February at 08:53 am MT, a full Moon in Leo and Magha nakshatra arrives, offering big waves and ancestral support. Wisdom and spiritual insights for your path are present. Use this time to create a connection with Spirit and avoid the material concerns of the ego. This is an important time to strengthen your relationship with your ancestors and realign with your dharmic path. Remember that the ancestors want your dharmic success. They are here to support you in achieving the healing and transformation possible for you and your lineage. Clarify your purpose and recommit to your steps.

Magha nakshatra is ruled by Pitr, which means ancestors (particularly the father's lineage) and falls within the first portion of the sign Leo. It is considered a gandanta, of which there are three of in the zodiac. Each gandanta creates uprooting on the psycho-emotional body level- so we know that these junction points bring change and transformation with them. Magha gives results with our relationship to power, purpose and the ego identity. This constellation correlates to inner and outer authority, as well as both individual and ancestral karma. Those born with this constellation in their natal charts usually have a great deal of ancestral karma to unpack in this lifetime- particularly with the father. Magha reminds us to align with dharma, purpose, power, and clear our ancestral karma.

This full Moon signifies an immense change with our inner power. There is a break in past karma taking place. Are you paying attention to the release of your shadow, or are you consumed with the challenges and overwhelm?  Use this time to consciously clear and release negativity, burdens, toxicity and anything that is disempowering you. Focus on the direction you want to go and clarify the results you want to achieve. Make goals and be vigilant with your actions and choices. Do they support your focus and direction, or distract you and derail you?

Remember that you have enormous power and potential. You have a purpose and many gifts that are needed in this world. Your wisdom, insights and light are a vital resource for reminding others to shine brightly. Stay close to your light and commit to shining even brighter. Temper the ego, but stay close to your truth and wholeness- shadow and light. Look for sudden flashes of insight and awareness around the time of the full Moon. Clarify your vision and release the shadows obstructing your view.


From Aquarius, Sun and Mercury look at the Moon during this full Moon, creating mental clarity and focus. Use this to write down your goals and intentions for the coming cycle. In Sagittarius, Venus and Saturn are in tight conjunction until February 24th when Venus moves to Capricorn. Venus and Saturn are asking us to simplify our relationships, money and life force energy. Saturn will not support anything but simplicity, slow and steady steps, as well as methodical and consistent effort. When Saturn and Venus collide, a structure is given to the flow of watery Venus. Your job is to clarify the pathway and clear the rubble in the way of the flow. Where are you making things more difficult than they need to be? Relationships, money and health need more simplicity and structure.

Sun has moved to Aquarius for the coming month- as of February 13th. Sun joins Mercury here until the 25th so expect a sharp mind in the coming weeks. Saturn gives his gaze, asking for slow, methodical behavior. Expect innovation and entrepreneurial insights in this transit. Think outside the box and focus your light on seeing all sides. Duality and differences emerge. How do you honor all the needs arriving? 

Aquarius requests structure and tradition, as well as different and unusual choices. This sign reminds us there are two sides to every coin. Can we find the wholeness? How do we attend to the integration and unification of opposing forces? Spend time this month integrating the duality within you and your personal mythology. Shine the light on binary patterns and behaviors. What parts of you need more harmony and unity? 

Wherever there are two opposing forces, we find conflict. Now is an ideal time to create peace within. Attend to shadow parts and lean closer to your darkness. Let the light show you the way. Hold both equally and honor your full body intelligence. 

Notice where Aquarius is in your Jyotish chart. What themes will be illuminated as Sun enters this part of your chart?! 


Don't Forget that we have a major transit on the horizon!

Rahu and Ketu are getting ready to change signs on March 7th. Rahu will move to Gemini and Ketu will move to Sagittarius. Both will be exalted for the next 1.5 years- meaning the karmic nodes will be expressing themselves at maximum capacity. Ketu will also be conjunct Saturn for the coming year, breaking up stagnant grief and forcing restructuring in our lives in some very dramatic ways. 

To assess the impact of this transit, look at your jyotish chart. Where is Sagittarius in your chart? This is where Ketu will be cutting the ties that bind you and forcing release. What themes are present here?

Look at Gemini in your chart. This is where Rahu will be transiting and forcing you to look more closely. He will be asking you to attend to the shadows and illusions in this realm of your life. 

Likely you are already feeling these shifts taking place. In advance of a major transit like this, the effects are often felt weeks and months ahead of time. What themes are surfacing already?

Pay attention to the karmic shifts taking place in your life and body. This is a good time to get yagyas done for extra support. I'll be sharing more in an upcoming article about this powerful transition ahead.

5 Ways to Step Into Your Power Right now:



1) The point of power is in the now, this moment right now.
You won't truly know the power of this moment without establishing a deeper sense of Self awareness. What is arriving right now within your inner landscape? What do you need right now in order to deepen your sense of reconnection? Do a Self audit. Self track every day.

2) Loosen the grip of triggers and painful stories.
Move the mind and emotions and don't let them get stuck in your unconscious mind. Use my Tapping Meditation to take back your power, get embodied and hear the wisdom of your inner knowing.

3) Track the planets and know what's impacting you right now.
A deeper Self awareness comes from understanding the influences upon you. Then you can properly resource yourself. Knowing how the planets are impacting your mind, body and emotions, is a powerful step in bringing light (jyoti) to your conscious awareness. Jyotish prevents unnecessary suffering and helps you align with right action and choices. Track the planets daily, weekly, and monthly.

4) Study the layers of your inner wisdom. Know thyself.
Your jyotish chart is the most potent resource of identification and self exploration you will ever receive. It is the map of your soul, shows you your life purpose, your reason for being alive. The short cut to understanding who you are and why you are alive, can be found through studying your jyotish chart. All the wisdom you need for greater, clarity and ease is written within your cosmic map. Deepen your jyotish studies and awaken your inner knowing with this.

5) Commit to your self growth and say yes to new resources and guidance.
Consistent guidance and support makes the difference between success and failure in this life. You can't get new results when you continue to do the same thing and make the same choices. Lasting sustainable change comes when you start changing old patterns and stop repeating old behaviors. Big life changes occur when you get ongoing guidance and support, new resources and tools for success. Email me to sign up for a free dharma coaching session: [email protected]



Use my Tapping Meditation to help you strengthen your determination, empowerment and self love.


I believe the biggest epidemic women face in this world is a lack of self trust.

Imagine if all women trusted themselves- fully and completely.

What if every women trusted her unique one of a kind gifts and wisdom?
What if every women trusted her special light and powerful offering she came to this world to share?

I want to live in this world!

I am on a big mission to help women shine brighter! I help women deepen their self trust and inner wisdom, and become the powerful leaders of their own lives.

Every week I offer two free dharma coaching sessions to women who are ready to shine brighter and awaken their leadership skills.

February New Moon Wisdom + Creative Ritual

2/3/2019

0 Comments

 
Picture

The February New Moon arrives on the 4th at 14:04 MT, while transiting Capricorn and Shravana nakshatra, a constellation ruled by Lord Vishnu. Waning Moon and new Moon energy is slower, inward and dark. We may notice that in this part of the Moon cycle, our emotional body feels the darkness more acutely. This is the part of the monthly cycle when we should attend to our grief, release, and clearing away of excess. Amavasya, or the new Moon, sparks potential, possibility and creativity. What possibilities are alive within you? What darkness needs to be confronted?

Four planets collide in Capricorn at the time of the New Moon- Moon, Sun, Mercury and Ketu. All are getting the restructuring impact of moksha planet Ketu. Mind, body, soul, and emotions are in a change process. Vulnerability is arriving simultaneously. Slow down and attend to the necessary actions and choices that can support this change.

Vishnu is the god of dharma- that which sustains and maintains order in the universe. The constellation of Shravana is his domain, which allows the passing of knowledge and wisdom- usually through sound. In ancient Vedic times, dharma was passed through oral tradition until eventually it became written word. The new Moon and waxing cycle ahead supports the power and strength of your dharmic path. Are you aligning with your dharma through your choices and actions? Are you moving closer to your passions and purpose, or further away?


Who will listen?
I proclaim with uplifted arms,
Practice of Dharma leads to Artha (material prosperity)
Kama (pleasure of life) and Moksha (liberation from karma),
Do not be deaf to my cries!

- Vyasa at the conclusion of the Mahabharata


In the days following the new Moon, Mars crosses the gandanta between Pisces and Aries, beginning a new cycle for Mars on February 5th. Those under the influence of Mars (ruling planet, current dasha cycle, transiting influential houses) will especially feel the impact of a fresh start and the beginning of a new two year cycle ahead. Mars rules Aries and does well with its tenacity and focus on action until March 22nd.

Mercury will shift into Aquarius on February 6th, moving mind into more entrepreneurial and innovative ideas and projects. Think outside the box in the coming days and clarify your steps.

We are at the edge of a major transit. Rahu and Ketu shift signs on March 7th, beginning a new 1.5 year transit for the karma nodes. Rahu moves to Gemini  and Ketu moves to Sagittarius, where both will be exalted in the months ahead. Many are feeling the shift of the shadow nodes already. Karma is changing, forcing us to look at our shadows and liberation in new ways. I'll be sharing more about this transit in an upcoming article. For now, note that Rahu will be pulling you towards the themes of Gemini, whereas Ketu will be supporting release with all things Sagittarius, while in conjunction with Saturn. Look to the houses in your jyotish chart where Gemini and Sagittarius reside in order to identify insights and themes for this transformational cycle. These changes are already being felt.

To get more insight for this new Moon and waxing cycle upon us, I pulled a card from my Vedic Tarot deck. The reminder comes from the suit of Arrows- which correlates to the element of air and the mental body. The Arrows depict powerful tales from the Mahabharata, an epic battle between two branches of one family.

The Mahabharata reminds us that:


"What is found here- is everywhere; What is not here- is found nowhere." 

- Veda Vyasa (around 1700 BCE)

The Ace of Arrows begins the tale of Bheeshma, who is a strong thread throughout the Mahabharata. He possesses immense strength, courage and a heroic destiny. However, karma has a different outcome for him altogether.

With the Ace of Arrows, immense power is available to us, but very few know how to manage it or use it fully. As a result, it gets misused, squandered, and can even destroy you. Spiritual growth is granted here, however, the changes and transformation involved can be traumatic and challenging.

A reminder to gather your strength and courage, even in troubled and overwhelming times. Setbacks can be overcome, success and triumph achieved, however cutting away, releasing and being decisive in purging, will be required. Change will be inevitable as a certain phase of your life is officially concluding. This is the end of illusions and your old behaviors and immaturity will not be allowed moving forward. Be mindful that karma is being released in the cycle to come and it may be painful.

Where are you resisting inevitable changes and losses? What needs to be released and let go of once and for all? What do you need to give up, to not allow in your life anymore? What intelligence do you need to call upon to move forward with more strength, courage and clarity?
