Looking Ahead: October 30th: New Moon in Libra and Swati Nakshatra + Diwali October 31st: Mars in Capricorn, exalted November 6th: DST ends in USA + Venus moves to Sagittarius November 8th: Election day in USA + Mercury moves to Scorpio November 14th: Full Moon in Aries and Krittika Nakshatra November 15th: Sun moves to Scorpio November 28th: Mercury moves to Sagittarius November 29th: New Moon in Scorpio and Anuradha Nakshatra Mars in Capricorn On October 31st 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. Suffering is optional. Pay close attention to your inner aggression and force. At the same time, notice where you are resisting the nourishment you crave. Gains come when you honor your dark, hidden desires. Lean into your fear more closely. Align with this resistance and keep moving closer to your pain. Keep peeling back layer by layer, to expose your needs more fully. Without moving closer to your terror, you are missing out on the deep nourishment and satisfaction you crave. The heart seeks stability, grounding and focus. It needs integration, balance and co-creation. It wants to heal old pain and darkness. It wants your hidden grief to come to the light. Will you lean closer to it, in order for it to touch your conscious awareness? You want depth and pleasure, connection and pure relationship. How will you connect with this feeling unless your your heart is pure? Purify, clarify, release all that is stagnant within the chambers of your heart. Seek receptivity, openness and more life force energy. As you clean and clear, release and liberate yourself, an immense power can be released from within. Channel this power in effective and dharmic ways in order for maximum gains. Missing my daily, weekly and monthly jyotish posts? Free access ends Nov 15th! Sign up now for a Basic Membership. Venus in Sagittarius Just before midnight on November 6th, Venus moves to a new friends' sign, leaping into the tricky gandanta (gap) between watery Scorpio and fiery Sagittarius. This transit lasts just under a month, until December 2nd. As Venus arrives in Mula nakshatra, expect change and turmoil with all things Venus related- money, relationships, comforts, women, creativity, the arts and commodities. 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 transformation 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. Venus moves through Mula for the first 12 days of this transit and won't shift to Purvashada until November 18th. This is a delicate time- as transitions are taking place. Deepen your intentions and resolve. Clarify your purpose and needs. Take right action towards dharma; notice where you are derailing yourself and meeting your own self sabotage. The transit of Venus through Sagittarius will take a certain mental body strength and determination. The overall theme of this cycle is balance and integration- but through mental body channels. It's time to clean up the mind, the stories, illusions and imaginal realms that leave you in lack and misfortune. This is an opportunity to lean closer to challenges and seek the resources within them. A way to heal and transform hardship and turn it into support, guidance and wisdom. Take your lemons and make lemonade. The heart is tender and soft, while relationships are passionate and fiery. Calm aggression and agitation by leaning closer to your heart wisdom. Listen carefully to your needs- for safety, support, holding and harmony. What is the deepest need you can find? How can you release and let go of fear and inner violence? The aggression towards the self? The aggression that gets transmitted to others as a result? Find the stillness. This is where your power, strength, courage and wisdom resides. Keep moving closer to your soft center. Lean in to you pain and struggles and seek compassion and loving kindness- for yourself and others. 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. Seeking clarity for the weeks and months ahead? Wondering how the transits will impact you- short term and long term? Get guidance, support and resources. Gather clarity for your path. Experience more ease and empowerment. Book A Session With Me Mercury in Scorpio 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 attending to the mental body- stories, the imaginal, thoughts and perceptions. Track the mind carefully and lean in closer with compassion and loving-kindness. The mind will be your teacher in the coming weeks, attend to these challenges thoughtfully. The Sun continues to be weak and vulnerable until the 16th, which impacts the mind intimately. Mercury is the prince, whereas the Sun is the King. When the king is weak, so is the prince. This is a time to be inwardly focused and do necessary self development work. Just as seasonal cleanses are important for the physical body, use this time to detox and clear out the mind and emotions as well. Full Moon in Aries The November Full Moon is both vulnerable and dynamic. Moon will be transiting Aries and Krittika nakshatra at the time of the full Moon on November 14th at 06:52 am MDT. Beginnings arrive as Moon passes through the first sign of the zodiac, while Krittika nakshatra brings transformation, alchemical changes and fiery transitions. There is a potent co-creative energy taking place in the cycle to come. An interdependence and interdependence arrives with self and others. This supports passion, creativity, strength and clarity of purpose. More details about the Full Moon coming soon in my November Full Moon Wisdom. Sun in Scorpio Sun moves to Scorpio on November 15th at 17:24, bringing more light and strength with it. However, this will translate as more inner light and strength due to the depth and mysticism of Scorpio. Turn your focus inward and deepen your awareness. Shine your light within. Sun joins Mercury and Saturn here, which is challenging for both Saturn and Sun as they are not friendly towards each other. The Sun purifies all that it touches, through heat, fire and agni. Saturn is old, slow and cold. He is set in his ways and requires steady, consistent steps in order for progress to be made. This opposes the forceful and powerful energy of the Sun. The challenge will be integrating the hard parts of yourself this month, the pieces that are stubborn, resistant, and that which refuses to change within your personal mythology. This process will require you are willing to bravely look at parts of yourself that have been hidden and in the dark far too long. Sun will shine the light. Will you be willing to see? At the same time, this is a potent cycle to step towards your passions and purpose with more dedication, enthusiasm and authenticity. Moon is exalted in Rohini nakshatra just as Sun shifts into Scorpio. Don't discount the immense creative powers available to you during the cycle ahead. The old must be released, in order to make space for the new. What are you clearing out and letting go of? What are you consciously filling this space with? Mercury in Sagittarius Just as the month comes to a close, Mercury transits into Sagittarius and into Mula nakshatra for an extended stay on November 28th. The entire transit will last until February 3rd, an unusually lengthy dance of forward and backwards for this swift moving planet. Mercury will retrograde on December 19th for roughly three weeks, until January 8th. This prolongs his stay in the fiery sign of Sagittarius, who is fortunately a friend. Retrograde planets increase the strength of the planet and its indications, expressing themselves more as the nodes do- with excess, confusion and intensity. 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. New Moon in Scorpio Just as the month comes to a close, the Moon empties. On November 29th at 05:18 Mountain Standard Time, the new Moon arrives in Scorpio and Anuradha nakshatra. Moon is debilitated and sits with Sun and Saturn in the sign of depth, transformation and the hidden realms. Debilitated Moon turns inward, softens the expression of the Moon and requests deep contemplation. This coming waxing cycle brings changes in creativity and courage while the passion of the heart strengthens and awakens convictions and empowerment. More details about the new Moon coming soon in my November New Moon Wisdom. Horoscopes Aries: It’s a powerful time for career as your planet of luck, Mars, is exalted in your 10th house this month. Take action with clarity, focus, determination and commitment. Some release of old fears clears as a new stability arrives. Trust your steps. Meanwhile, Sun is debilitated in your relationship house until mid month, which asks you to be steady, gentle and inward, more than outward. Relationships may prove challenging, confrontational, harsh and unsupportive in the coming weeks. Address your deeper needs and notice what your heart is truly asking for. Allow relationships, children and clients to truly awaken you. What do you need? What are they mirroring to you? Everything that arrives is a mirror of the self. Enjoy the November full Moon in Aries! Taurus: Continue seeking the stability and support you deeply crave and yearn for- especially in your relationships. There is a powerful transformation taking place on this level for you this month. Get clearer about your needs and requirements with self and others so that you can express and communicate these needs more authentically and fully. There is healing taking place with your needs and a release of past hurts. Uproot and let go of the past. Shine the light on your dark places and lean in closer to your pain. It’s the only way you’ll be able to fully confront the challenges you are feeling. As you release, deepen your intentions for what you are inviting in. Give to others what you seek. Gemini: Relationships and romance get your focus this month, requesting clarity, communication and creativity. You are working on releasing and healing some very old grief and pain. Your digestion is working over time to let the past go. Do everything you can to support your stomach, the release process and constipated grief sitting in your gut. Exalted Mars in your 8th house forces the issue and is blatant about making you confront your pain, challenges, illusions and past. Debilitated Sun in your 5th house requests gentleness and softness with children, romance, clients and your own power. If you’re forcing, you’re missing the messages. Let your heart guide you and allow its wisdom to support your journey of awakening. Lean in to your emotions and the stories they provoke. Cancer: Passion is alive in your 7th house of relationships as Mars moves through its exaltation sign. This can have powerfully positive effects on relationships or very challenging and aggressive tendencies. There may be disappointments or overly high expectations with others right now. You’ll certainly be confronting your inner challenges and anger. What are the needs not being met? What do you need for more trust, safety and security? As Sun moves through its debilitation sign in your 4th house of emotions, heart and home, there’s softening and an inward pull. This requires your attention and intention. Honor your needs for soft, gentle landings. Notice where you are being aggressive with yourself, where you are in battle with yourself. Seek resolution, integration and harmony. Leo: The self is still in shadow and illusion with Rahu in the first. Life and direction likely feels confusing and uncertain. Emotions may feel stuck and burdensome as you navigate very old grief and pain. It’s a radical time of confrontation and healing as Mars exalts in your 6th house of conflict and bad habits. Look directly at your challenges and hurts. Some of this pain is yours and some of it is very old, ancestral suffering that you need to let go of once and for all. Debilitated Sun in your 3rd house is challenging to your courage right now, but lean in any way. Soften through creativity, hands and vulnerability. Channel this softness into your dharmic work. Find new angles, new approaches to your offerings. Open new pathways and surrender to the transformation. Virgo: You are learning and growing so much right now. Learning how to stabilize and ground, while deepening your relationship with self and others. The heart awakens this month and requests that you look closely at your needs- especially in regard to relationships. Integrate and harmonize self with others and notice where you’re not in right-relationship with either. Mars exalted in your 5th house increases passion, purpose and power. Courage is strong right now, but being in alignment with your action steps is crucial for balance and stability. Sun is debilitated in your 2nd house of nourishment and support until mid month. As Sun lands in Scorpio, courage requires that you face your grief and pain more directly. Past pain and hurts are effecting your ability to thrive and be nourished. Are you willing to look at your past and release it in order to make space for the new, the stable, the supportive, the loving and kind? Libra: Your heart is on fire this month as Mars exalts in your 4th house of home and emotions. Seek balance and integration with your inner and outer waves. There’s an opportunity for greater stability and harmony right now, but you must pay attention to your needs- for nourishment, support and vitality. Let go of relationships that do not honor these needs. This includes certain relationships with your past- bad habits and behaviors and old personal mythology. Get creative and use your hands to connect, communicate and share. Get inspired and inspire others! Step into your courage and creativity more fully. Scorpio: You are being squeezed and feeling pressure on multiple levels. The only solution is your immense creativity and courage to persevere. As your planet of luck exalts in Capricorn, your third house is enlivened with creativity, communication and courageous passion. Your creative powers are awake, so channel them fully. Open new pathways and say yes to more creativity, wealth, wellbeing and enthusiasm. Find integration between polarities, life and death, masculine and feminine, stability and chaos. Notice how your dysfunction and old patterns of self sabotage effect all levels of your life. Eradicate these old behaviors and personal mythology. The medicine is greater stability, grounding and embodiment. Reconnect. Notice the places you disconnect from your needs, your nourishment, your inner stability. Find your grounding cord and hang on. Sagittarius: Your mouth is full of fire right now as exalted Mars moves through your 2nd house. A renewed sense of power and purpose arrives and a need for comfort and support increases. Your next steps and dharmic action are still confusing and uncertain. Take action anyway. Allow yourself to be nourished through relationship this month. Connect, co-create, align and befriend self and others. Keep teaching and sharing through your wisdom, advice and awareness. As debilitated Sun moves through your 11th house, gains are somewhat challenged. You must release, before you can receive. This theme increases mid month once Sun moves to your 12th house. It’s time to hit reset. Let go and purge. What are you moving towards? Capricorn: With exalted Mars in your first house, there is passion, power and strength arriving. Feel the dynamism! Relationships however are vulnerable and require your gentleness. Pause, land, ground. Lean in and listen. You may be pushing past important messages and missed opportunities for depth and awakening. Sun is debilitated in your 10th house of career until mid month. This requires your willingness to soften as well. Notice where you are pushing too hard and not paying attention to subtleties and inner awareness. Emotions are fiery and intense this month. Keep them moving and flowing, while grounding in the body. Teach what you learn. Aquarius: The intense desire for being alone, on retreat and on vacation increases while your passion and relationships begin to heat up. For some, relationships will continue to be a challenging illusion of disappointment and toxicity. Others will clarify and strengthen bonds with partners. Bottom line: get your needs met and notice where you are not being clear about your expectations and requests. This is a great time of clarification and learning about the heart. But you must dig into your depths to find the pearls of wisdom. Right now, soften and quiet yourself as much as you can. Debilitated Sun is asking you to come to stillness and learn from your quiet center. This shifts to a more outward focus mid month. Recharge now. Pisces: Relationships are a stabilizing force for you right now. Ground, land and seek support from others. There are gains from reaching out, sharing and connecting. Exalted Mars in your 11th house increases gains, but request that you release and let go simultaneously. This is a call for integration and balance between yes and no, go and stop. Ultimate alignment with right-action is required for increases to be supported. Notice where you are forcing or pushing too hard. As debilitated Sun moves through your 8th house, shine the light on your past and lean in closer to pain, challenges and hurts- especially with relationships. Once Sun shifts to Scorpio, you will feel more dharmic support and focus. Find your passion and put it into action. Seeking clarity for the weeks and months ahead? Wondering how the transits will impact you- short term and long term? Get guidance, support and resources. Gather clarity for your path. Experience more ease and empowerment.

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!

The October New Moon occurs 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. Deep uprooting takes place in this waxing cycle. Expect transformation and release to intensify in the coming days. The changes coming will be swift, sudden and unexpected. This process is dharmic, but uncertain, spiritual, yet may be confusing and uncomfortable. Release is occurring, which supports opening to new space, potential and possibility. Attending to the letting go process with intention is vital. How do you want to attend to the new, sacred space within you? What are you inviting in? Let it be conscious. At the time of the new Moon, Mars is on the horizon at the very edge of Sagittarius. The doorway is open between fire and earth, as Mars prepares to shift into its sign of exaltation. The cycle to come jump starts some courageous leaps. What are you leaping towards? What are you leaping away from? Gather momentum, take action, create and co-create. Above all, clear and release stagnation and that which doesn't honor your basic needs for nourishment and support. This includes relationships, behaviors, limiting beliefs, grief and emotions, You will need to dig very, very deeply to find the pearls, but it will be well worth your efforts. Saturn and Venus are also in exact conjunction at the time of the new Moon, as they transit through Scorpio right now. Pain, darkness and grief may rise to the surface. Be gentle with relationships and ask for extra support in the coming days. You'll need it, but may resist it simultaneously. The need for structure and flow becomes self evident. This influences your relationships greatly. Attend to dark matter that is rising to the surface right now. Your hidden grief is requesting you look closely right now. Keep it moving. This is a time of deep integration and increasing inner/outer harmony with shadow and light, as well as all polarities. Attend to the integration process diligently. The first night of Deepavali, or Diwali, begins October 26th. This is a five day celebration of Maha Lakshmi, honoring her divine abundance. Goddess Lakshmi blesses us with wealth on all levels of life- through health, vitality and wellness, as well as monetary abundance, resources and riches. She supports the flow of love to the heart and brings harmony, balance and integration to the entire body. The most significant day of Diwali is on the new Moon day, Amavasya. Honor and celebrate Maha Lakshmi on the 30th with sweets, new clothing, chanting, and many lights! Light your lights! Traditionally we leave candles lit or lamps in your home turned on all through the night. This will beckon more light to greet you in the coming months and signals Lakshmi to visit you! Open the doors of your heart and allow the nourishment of beloved Lakshmi to wash you with her generosity and gifts. Creative Ritual + Tapping Meditation Use this two part process to clear, release and transform old, stagnant mental and emotional body energies into space, opening and possibility. Start with the Tapping Meditation to clear big emotions and then move into the Creative Ritual in order to deepen your creation process and manifest more love, gratitude and nourishment into your life. Share your comments, questions and experiences below! Step 1 Use this podcast as you tap through these points: Karate chop point (side of the hand). Crown of the head. Eyebrow point (above the eye). Side of the eye. Under the eye. Under the nose. Chin point (crease of the chin). Throat point (collar bone/throat chakra). Heart point (center of chest). Stomach point (above the navel). Side body (nipple line at side of chest). Tap six to ten times on each point and just keep cycling through the points. Repeat the phrases I use aloud. Notice any thoughts, stories, memories or emotions that emerge as you tap. These are important pieces to return to, do more tapping on, as a way to clear blockages. As always, if the words I use don't work for you, change them to support your process more fully. Part 2 1) Using craypas, paints or pencils, create an image of what you are moving towards in order to create more nourishment and pleasure in your life. What does nourishment within you feel like? How does it arrive? Create an image that expresses this feeling using colors, textures and shapes. Allow 10- 20 minutes at minimum for image. Title your image. 2) Use your image to inspire a movement exploration. Let your body move in response to your nourishment and pleasure image with an intention of creating more inner awareness. What sensations emerge for you during your dance? What messages? Allow 5 to 10 minutes for this movement exploration.

This Week's Intention: The waves are subtle, yet strong. Great creative courage is available just under the surface. Take steps and make strides, to enliven your deepest desires. Awaken the pulse of your heart and Spirit. It is a new Moon week, which deepens feelings and the inward gaze. Diwali also begins this week, which honors and celebrates the abundance of Lakshmi, her wealth and vitality. As the week begins, Moon leaps through a challenging gandanta (gap) which triggers a powerful week ahead. Watch ego, father and masculine issues as well as your power in the coming days. Debilitated Sun and Mercury are in a fierce conjunction the entire week. The mind is focused and critical at times. Simultaneously, Venus and Saturn are also in tight conjunction this week. Pain, darkness and grief may rise to the surface. Be gentle with relationships and ask for extra support in the coming days. You'll need it, but may resist it simultaneously. Monday, October 24th Moon in 10th tithi Dashami Late morning, Moon leaps through the tricky gandanta (gap) between Cancer and Leo. The Moon will feel as though it's jumping from water to fire. Once in Leo, Moon enters Magha nakshatra, which connects to the ancestors- specifically the father's lineage. There's a certain magnanimous flavor to this star. It's bold, powerful and showy. As Moon arrives in Leo, it joins Rahu here as well. Tomorrow, it will move to the inside of Rahu, re-starting the Kala Sarpa yoga effects taking place on and off until January. Today, allow a final release to take place. Get clear on needs, action steps and choices. Commit and land within your power place. Allow your heart and feelings to guide you. There's a certain stripping away of the ego taking place. Shred and let go of what is not serving you. Unmask yourself. Tuesday, October 25th Moon in 11th tithi Ekadashi Magha's powerful influence of change continues until midday. Attend to ancestral support and honor the wisdom of Spirit arriving. Once Moon shifts to Purvaphalguni, Bhaga lends his abundance, comfort and support through resources and relationships. He is famous for offering sensuality and sexuality, as well as the pleasures of life. Right now, these needs will require you dive deeply into your unconscious terrain and clean up resistance, shadow and hidden grief. Make more space for the pleasures of life by clearing out your inner realms. This is a time of deep release, albeit painful at times. What are you inviting in? What is sacred enough to be in your life? As Moon moves into Bhaga's nakshatra, he will be in exact conjunction with Rahu. Once Moon shifts to the inside of the serpent's head early evening, a two week period of Kala Sarpa yoga begins once again. Since Moon and the other planets are moving towards Ketu, I'm considering this an Kala Amrita yoga. Deep liberation is available right now, but only if you allow the process to fully take place. Gather resource, support and guidance for deep awakening. Let go, let god. Debilitated Sun and Mercury are also in exact conjunction at this time. Mind is sharp, yet very inward and introspective. Meditation is a good use of your time. This is the last day to register for Awakening Through Grief!! Don't miss this powerful nine month journey into Heart and Spirit. Doors are closing! Wednesday, October 26th Moon in 12th tithi Dvadashi Moon continues through Purvaphalguni the majority of the day. Bhaga is one of the 12 Adityas, which means his purpose is to bring resources and support- especially through wealth and happiness. He connects to the 9th house, which brings luck, resources and fortune through dharma and right action. Spend time working on relationships today. Resources will come when you attend consciously to how you relate to others. Everyone is a mirror of yourself. Notice who walks in. Late afternoon, Moon shifts to the latter half of the Phalguni constellation and Aryaman brings another level of support and resources. As an Aditya, his assistance comes through sustenance, health and physical strength. He also supports lasting unions and upholding lineage through marriage and children. Sun rules this constellation and is currently debilitated in Libra. Be gentle and kind to others right now. Relationships are fragile and require extra attention. Sun and Mercury continue in exact conjunction today. Mind is sharp and over heated. Stay calm, cool and relaxed as much as possible. Don't push too hard. Late evening, Moon arrives in Virgo, Joining Jupiter here. Soften and expand. The first night of Deepavali, or Diwali, begins tonight. This is a five day celebration of Maha Lakshmi, honoring her divine abundance. Goddess Lakshmi blesses us with wealth on all levels of life- through health, vitality and wellness, as well as monetary abundance and riches. She supports the flow of love to the heart and brings harmony, balance and integration to the entire body. The most significant day of Diwali is on the new Moon. More details below. Thursday, October 27th Moon in 13th tithi Trayodashi Moon moves through Virgo today with Jupiter, the guru. Emotions need grounding and extra resources. Watch for an overactive critic. Gather guidance, resources and support in the coming days. Uttaraphalguni rules the majority of the day, offering wealth and abundance. His blessings can come in many forms, but often through lasting relationships, love and harmony. Relationships are delicate right now though and they require your attention and focus. With Sun currently debilitated and in exact conjunction with Mercury, there may be an extra critical glare mirrored to others, and yourself. Even still, gather your fruits and honor your rich harvest. Gratitude is the nectar of the heart and will feed you for life times. Late afternoon, Moon moves to Hasta nakshatra and Savitr brings light and awakening. Recite Gayatri Mantra for extra support. Saturn and Venus move into tight conjunction today. They will be tracking each other closely in Scorpio over the coming days. Relationships may feel more challenging as a result as hidden grief rises to the surface of your awareness. Attend to feelings and emotions diligently. Friday, October 28th Moon in 14th tithi Chaturdashi Hasta nakshatra is the main constellation of the day. providing awareness and insight, awakening and light. Magic from the hands is activated. Share it! Savitr is the ruling deity. He brings light and life, just as the light of the day awakens new possibility and potential. Bring in the light and invoke your desires, intentions and right action through dharma. Early evening, Moon arrives in Chitra, sparking Vishvakarma's action oriented approach to creativity. Vishvakarma is a master planner and builder who built the entire zodiac. There is ample creative potential available through this constellation. Use it! Saturday, October 29th Moon in 15th tithi Amavasya Moon moves to Libra late morning, joining debilitated Sun and Mercury here. Ketu gives his gaze, insuring sudden changes- especially emotionally. Sun and Mercury are still only a degree a part. The mental and physical bodies are in a battle of strength. The only way to arrive in the now is through the body. Get embodied and keep the mind in check. Creativity continues today under the gaze of Vishvakarma. Put your ideas into action and start building! Take a leap, take a step, move forward. Create, plan, set intentions and awaken through your creative powers. All the arts are supported by this constellation, especially those that utilize the hands. Masterful handy work and visual mediums come to life under this star. Late evening, Moon arrives in Vayu's constellation, Swati. Air, prana and wind are stirred. Take a deep breath. Mars moves to the very edge of Sagittarius. Big, bold leaps are on their way! Sunday, October 30th Moon in 15th tithi and 1st tithi Amavasya to Pratipad Saturn and Venus are in exact conjunction today. The need for structure and flow becomes self evident. This influences your relationships greatly. Attend to dark matter that is rising to the surface right now. Your hidden grief is requesting you look closely right now. Keep it moving. The October New Moon occurs 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 2nd tithi 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. 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 Timing used is Mountain Daylight Time.
There's still time to join this powerful healing journey, Awakening Through Grief!! This sacred nine month course has been created for those who are ready to heal through the power of your emotional body wisdom. Get the Details and Sign Up. Doors Close OCTOBER 26th!!! There is something no one seems to be talking about in regard to loss, grief and death. Everyone is effected by grief. Everyone. The majority of people are resistant to the word, let alone the work it takes to heal, transform and digest this incredibly powerful part of being a human. Most people are jumping over their losses, never fully digesting them, nor integrating them into their body, or their life. Without proper integration physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually, grief gets pushed deep within the bodies, resulting in multiple challenges, disturbances and dis-eases. I've been talking a lot lately about undigested grief and even worse, hidden grief. These are very real issues that are effecting in all honesty, everyone, to some degree. It's not a radical notion to say that everyone on the planet is grieving- whether they are conscious of it or not. Grief is real. It's a real part of life. Whether you want to look at it directly, or push it away and negate it, it's still a part of your life- consciously or unconsciously. Grief indicates that you've experienced a loss on some level- either big or small. These losses really add up. Part of the grief journey that no one is talking about, is the impact all of your life losses have on your finances. It's amazing to me that this is never part of the grief conversation. Debts, lack of money, an inability to make, save or acquire money, are all issues related to loss, to grief. Particularly grief that has not been properly attended to- meaning it hasn't been fully digested or integrated. Any loss that you've experienced in your life gets stored in your body memory. It's a part of your life and will impact you- your future choices, actions, behaviors, and experiences. Money is nothing more than a physical resource of nourishment, life force energy. It's a human created expression of abundance, the wealth of nature and her bounty. The ability to receive money, is intimately connected to your ability to receive nourishment- on all levels of life- which includes physical, mental, emotional and spiritual bodies. This is why the wealth houses of the jyotish chart are also the houses of eating, digesting and giving (2nd, 6th and 10th houses). If you can't eat the nourishment, digest it and assimilate its nutrients fully, you also won't have much of an offering to give to the world. You will have very little life force energy in which to express your powerful gift. . If your channels are blocked by undigested grief, you won't be able to receive or create vitality, or life force energy. This lack of life force energy impacts your receptivity, your ability to receive nourishment, directly. What happens when years and years of undigested grief and losses are not honored and healed? Debts pile up (literally your losses pile up). Houses 6 and 8 in your jyotish chart are also houses of digestion, stomach and elimination. They are considered the most challenging houses of the chart, causing serious health issues and not surprisingly are both connected to losses, debt and financial struggles. Simply put, when you clean up your bodies (physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually) and process, clear and release the undigested emotions and experiences of life, you have much more receptivity. You literally have more ability to give and receive life force energy. On the material level of life, this means you have the ability to give and receive more money as well. Lakshmi is a powerful embodiment of this free flowing energy within the channels of the body. The golden coins pouring from her palms, express the abundance of nourishment- inside and out. Health is wealth! But when any of the four bodies are clogged with toxic byproducts of undigested food, experiences and emotions, the channels of the body will not be open and awake. A dullness will set in and this will impact all levels of your life- even your relationship with money. Almost every single person who has inquired about my nine month Awakening Through Grief Course has shared money problems are impacting their decision to join the course. Debt has been a very personal part of my grief process as well. I know there is a direct correlation between grief and money, because I've experienced it personally. One of the most direct correlations between grief and money challenges has to do with stability and support. When you've experienced a loss- whether large or small- it impacts your stability, your sense of support. This instability impacts your sense of safety- personally, physically, as well as materially. Your experience of life and the world around you becomes destabilized. So it makes sense that because money represents safety and support, as well as comfort and stability, when life is feeling unstable and unsafe, your money will be impacted as well. Money is energy, so it will reflect your feelings. If you don't feel safe, your money will show it. When you clear, clean, heal and transform grief, and allow the emotional body to find greater resiliency, this has a positive impact on your receptivity, your ability to receive nourishment- including money. That is why I've created a nine month course Awakening Through Grief, to support the healing and transformation of your grief. To help you digest, heal and integrate losses- on all four levels of your being- physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. This very unique nine month course is not just about healing grief, it is really about allowing you to integrate your losses with life, so that you can experience more resiliency, more life force energy. When you clean up your undigested grief, you suddenly have a lot more space to create, manifest, align and receive the nourishment of life more fully! The work that we do in this course will help you heal, transform and release grief- whether it's impacting you physically, mentally, emotionally or spiritually- or all of the above. This process is creative, embodied and whole. It's a sacred journey of deeply integrating loss and helping you expand into life more fully. Please join me for this powerful nine month journey that will truly change your relationship with loss and life. Transform your losses into life! Remember that if you're experiencing financial problems, this means you are really experiencing life force problems. You are not able to receive life force energy fully. Your channels are clogged, your receptivity is not awake! Grief, undigested emotions and experiences are blocking your life force energy which will not only impact health, but also finances. Loss equates debt- no matter the story. Learn how to awaken your receptivity through healing and releasing your grief. Step into a more resilient, embodied and empowering life! Join me for Awakening Through Grief, a sacred nine month journey to awaken Heart and Spirit. Last chance to join is October 26th!! Tapping Meditation for Resistance Tapping Meditation for Resistance Use this Tapping Meditation to work through your grief process- when you feel stuck, afraid or resistant to change. Remember that we always start with "truth tapping" by expressing feelings and experiences that feel challenging. This is a vital part of the process and paves the way for transformation and healing. In the podcast below, I share a tapping (EFT) sequence with you that will guide you through transforming and releasing the old stories and invite in more receptivity. Remember, we start with identifying the challenges, then moving into possibility and desires in order to transform our shadow into light. Use this podcast as you tap through these points: Karate chop point (side of the hand). Crown of the head. Eyebrow point (above the eye). Side of the eye. Under the eye. Under the nose. Chin point (crease of the chin). Throat point (collar bone/throat chakra). Heart point (center of chest). Stomach point (above the navel). Side body (nipple line at side of chest). Tap six to ten times on each point and just keep cycling through the points. Repeat the phrases I use aloud. Notice any thoughts, stories, memories or emotions that emerge as you tap. These are important pieces to return to, do more tapping on, as a way to clear blockages. As always, if the words I use don't work for you, change them to support your process more fully. Share your experiences below! What emerged for you in this process? Excited to hear from you! Join me for a nine month journey into Heart and Spirit!
Digest and heal your grief and losses. Come back to greater life, nourishment and abundance! JOIN THIS SACRED JOURNEY Last Chance to Join Awakening Through Grief is October 26th!! This Week's Intention: To see the moon that cannot be seen, Turn your eyes inward and look at yourself, in silence. ~Rumi The week begins on the tail end of a vulnerable full Moon and Sun's transit into Libra. As Moon passes through Pisces and into Aries, endings and beginnings will be awakened at the start of the week. Attend closely to your inhale to life and your exhale to death. What are you opening to? What are you closing to? Did you miss my *free* Full Moon Grief Ritual? Attend to your open and close with this special class. Listen for few more days. Sun shifts to its debilitation sign for the coming weeks on the 16th at 18:38. As he arrives in Libra, a softening of the masculine arrives. This often brings discomfort and disappointment from relationships. The masculine will be less available, less assertive and less present as a result of this transit. Notice your own relationship with your soft masculine. Are you resisting it or allowing it? This Sun cycle provokes a need for greater self awareness and understanding of the masculine. Read more about Sun in Libra Monday, October 17th Moon in 2nd tithi Dvitiya Moon continues to move through Bharani nakshatra. Look closely at your resistance today. There's a certain push back to getting your needs met, to honoring nourishment. What is the root of this resistance? Look closely at your needs and how they are not getting honored or supported. You are the cause of these unmet needs. You say you want it, but simultaneously aren't allowing the nourishment to arrive. Look closely at your fear of love, safety, holding and connection that you so deeply crave. Why are you saying no to what you so desperately yearn for? Late afternoon, Moon shifts to Krittika nakshatra. Transformation is arriving. The alchemy of change is taking place. Surrender to the process. Tuesday, October 18th Moon in 3rd tithi Tritiya As Tuesday begins, the Moon shifts into Taurus, becoming exalted. The emotional body is full and ripe. How are you attending to your inner waters? Krittika's transformational changes continue until late afternoon. Allow yourself to surrender to the change process within. Support the alchemy arriving. Agni is a powerful ally and resource. Moon moves to the potent, creative star of Rohini next. Lord Brahma and goddess Saraswati bring transformation through creative forces. They support the manifestation process by bringing your ideas, visions and imagination to life. What are you creating? What action steps are you working with to support this process? Saturn, Venus and Jupiter give their gaze to the Moon, bringing focused movement and expansion. Let your creativity enliven through artistry, co-creation and passion! Say yes to more abundance and nourishment. Wednesday, October 19th Moon in 4th and 5th tithi Chaturthi and Panchami Moon continues through the creative star, Rohini, until midday. Allow yourself to transform through creativity, playfulness and possibility. What are you moving towards? What are you manifesting and creating for your life? What resistance do you feel to creating what you want and need? What happens when you let go of this resistance? Arrive in the softness, the hope, the possibility. As Moon shifts to Mrigashirsha nakshatra, a new level of nourishment is awakened. It requires your movement and change though. Be willing to step towards the possibilities you enlivened earlier in the day. Are you ready to say yes? Where is your resistance still showing up to keep you from being deeply nourished? Who would you be if you were really thriving? What would you have to let go of? Thursday, October 20th Moon in 5th and 6th tithi Panchami and Sashthi As Thursday begins, Moon steps into Gemini. Ketu and Mars give their gaze to the emotional body. The Moon feels heat and sudden changes, aggression and instability. Lean into this uncertainty and challenge. What are you noticing? Just before noon, Moon moves to the aggressive and emotional star, Ardra. Rudra brings big emotional body waves with him. Today it will likely feel like anger, or perhaps a volcano. Allow the fire to move through you without restraint. Notice your resistance to your "ugly" emotions and how shame, guilt and avoidance shows up to stop it. How can you find safe and effective ways to release these challenging emotions moving through you? What can they teach you about your needs- for safety, security and self compassion? Friday, October 21st Moon in 7th tithi Saptami Moon continues through Ardra until late morning. Honor the emotional body and the power that it provides you with. Your feelings make you a human being! Use them effectively and gather resources to be in right relationship with your emotional body. As Moon moves into Punarvasu nakshatra late morning, a softening can arrive as well. It is your inner wisdom and self love that makes a gentleness and ease possible. The harshness is your perfectionism and your resistance to the messiness of life. What happens when you allow yourself to feel- to fully feel?! What happens when you lean into your challenging feelings- with loving kindness and compassion? How would a truly loving parent hold its child in a temper tantrum? Hold yourself with love and acceptance. What happens when you drop the story of being "wrong" for feeling what you feel? Self compassion is the first step in getting your needs met more fully and receiving deeper nourishment. Lean closer to your resistance, the resistance to being what you feel. Airy planet Mercury moves to air sign Libra just as October 22nd arrives, joining debilitated Sun here as well. Mercury will be in Libra until November 8th, about 18 days. He will be moving through a tight conjunction with the Sun during this transit, sharpening the mind with the experience of a soft Masculine presence. Ketu gives his gaze to both planets, sparking sudden release and flashes of insight as well as awakening through loss. Ruling planets of Libra are Venus (own sign) and Saturn (sign of exaltation). Both planets are moving through the powerfully transformational sign of Scorpio right now, supporting release of subconscious material and provoking shadow work to the surface. The deeper your willingness to release, the more space and availability you'll have for the connection, creativity and harmony you are seeking this month. Read more about Mercury in Libra Saturday, October 22nd Moon in 8th tithi Ashtami In the early hours of the morning, Moon arrives in its own sign, Cancer. A softening of the heart and emotional body may arrive in the coming days as a result. Allow your deep feelings to be present with honor and attentiveness. Mars continues to give his gaze, which may provoke frustrations, agitation and emotional release. Keep leaning in closer to your feelings. There's a possibility for deeper self compassion and inner gratitude to arrive if you step towards your emotional body more consciously. Touch that place of inner love and harmony. That place that accepts who you are without judgment or the critic. Late morning, Moon shifts to Pushya nakshatra. It's time for integration to take place. The open and close of your heart chambers, your breath, can support this process. What are you opening to? What are you closing to? What do you notice in-between the open and close? Did you miss my *free* Full Moon Grief Ritual? Attend to your open and close with this special class. Listen for few more days. Sunday, October 23rd Moon in 9th tithi Navami Late morning, Moon moves from the nourishing star, Pushya, into Ashlesha nakshatra. The feeling body moves towards the thinking mind and stirs a certain need to connect and co-create. A desire to be in relationship awakens- in order for deeper nourishment and support. Allow your imagination to support this need. What would feel helpful right now? Who and what do you need for greater resourcing and guidance? What is missing from your life right now? It's a time of deepening your inner awareness, rather than avoiding it. Don't push past your pain, lean closer to it. The mental/emotional body dance is strong right now. Stay grounded in the body and keep your emotions moving. Your inner waters need to flow. Monday, October 24th Moon in 10th tithi Dashami Late morning, Moon leaps through the tricky gandanta (gap) between Cancer and Leo. The Moon will feel as though it's jumping from water to fire. Once in Leo, Moon enters Magha nakshatra, which connects to the ancestors- specifically the father's lineage. There's a certain magnanimous flavor to this star. It's bold, powerful and showy. As Moon arrives in Leo, it joins Rahu here as well. Tomorrow, it will move to the inside of Rahu, re-starting the Kala Sarpa yoga effects taking place within the transits. Today, allow a final release to take place. Get clear on needs, action steps and choices. Commit and land within your power place. Allow your heart and feelings will guide you. There's a certain stripping away of the ego taking place. Shred and let go of what is not serving you. Unmask yourself. * Timing used is Mountain Daylight Time.

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.

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. Read more about the October Full Moon Join me for a *free* Full Moon Grief Ritual this Sunday, October 16th. Get the details and sign up! 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!! The October full Moon on the 15th stirs a remarkable vulnerability with Moon in a very delicate gap point between Pisces and Aries. At 22:23 MDT, 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. There can be confusion and uncertainty about moving forward as well grief through loss. Trust that this is a cycle of renewal. 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. Revati nakshatra is a Mrdu constellation- soft, mild and tender. It can be used for auspicious beginnings and ceremonies. As an Aditya (one who brings support) Pushan is known to provide nourishment and he does so through resources. He protects your path and will provide support for your journey- whether earthly or astral. At the time of the full Moon, Ardra nakshatra is on the eastern horizon, this intensifies the power awakened in the cycle to come. Strength through emotion activates, as Rudra, the storm god, rules this constellation. As Moon transits Pisces during the full Moon, Mars gives his gaze, as does Jupiter, Sun and Mercury. Emotions are enlivened through power and wisdom. The waning cycle will bring depth to the heart and awakening through the mental and emotional body levels. It's a time of clearing and cleaning, purging and release. As you create more space in your heart, more light will come. Use the wisdom arriving to support your heart awakening process. Allow yourself to receive guidance and support for this process. Ask your ancestors to help you release and remove the old, toxic debris in your heart- all that is keeping you from receiving the nourishment you seek. Let your grief move through in conscious ways, clearing and cleaning your heart space, awakening your needs and allowing more receptivity to arrive. This is a time of healing relationships. Healing yourself in relationship to others and healing yourself in relationship to self. There will be deep seated, old and stagnant grief moving through you in the cycle to come- especially connected to relationship. Allow it to be a balm of awakening, softening and letting go. As you clear and clean the pain from your bodies, move towards gratitude, loving kindness and compassion. Say yes to nourishment and emotions that honor your tenderness, Lean into your vulnerability and awaken your deeper power. This will help you find the root of your true empowerment. Creative Ritual + Tapping Meditation Use this two part process to clear, release and transform old, stagnant mental and emotional body energies into space, opening and possibility. Start with the Tapping Meditation to clear big emotions and then move into the Creative Ritual in order to deepen your creation process and manifest more love, gratitude and nourishment into your life. Share your comments, questions and experiences below! Step 1 Use this podcast as you tap through these points: Karate chop point (side of the hand). Crown of the head. Eyebrow point (above the eye). Side of the eye. Under the eye. Under the nose. Chin point (crease of the chin). Throat point (collar bone/throat chakra). Heart point (center of chest). Stomach point (above the navel). Side body (nipple line at side of chest). Tap six to ten times on each point and just keep cycling through the points. Repeat the phrases I use aloud. Notice any thoughts, stories, memories or emotions that emerge as you tap. These are important pieces to return to, do more tapping on, as a way to clear blockages. As always, if the words I use don't work for you, change them to support your process more fully. Part 2 1) Using craypas, paints or pencils, create an image of the space you've created through this tapping meditation. What does this "space" within you feel like? Create an image that expresses this feeling using colors, textures and shapes. Allow 10- 20 minutes at minimum for image. Title your image. 2) Use your image to inspire a movement exploration. Let your body move in response to your "space" image with an intention of creating more inner awareness. What sensations emerge for you during your dance? What messages? Allow 5 to 10 minutes for this movement exploration. I encourage you to extend this time frame as you recycle this process. 3) Harvesting. In your journal answer these questions: I am, I want, I need, I sense, I feel, I imagine. What deeply nourishes me? What no longer nourishes me? Where do I feel support in my life? Where do I need more support? What am I opening to? What am I closing to? Did you miss my *free* Class? Use this resource to navigate Grief, Loss and Big Emotions. Listen Now

Thank you for your patience. As the Moon shifts into the first tithi (Moon phase) early evening on October 1st, the sacred ten day and night celebration of Shardiya Maha Navaratri begins. Nava means nine and ratri means night in Sanskrit. Each day and night of this powerful junction point, correlates to the epic battle between the goddess Sri Devi Mahatmyam and the demon Mahishasura. Maha Devi Mahatmyam is connected to both Durga and Shakti, powerful forms of divine feminine energy that awaken, clear, transform and heal. Sri Devi is understood to be the supreme creation power of the universe, the Tridevi, or triple goddess, as she expresses the creation, sustaining and destructive energies that perpetuate all forms of life. This is the most powerful time in the Vedic Calendar. Read more about Navaratri Venus in Scorpio 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. Allow yourself to empty and let go of stagnant emotions, undigested emotions. You have the opportunity to create space for something new to arrive in the coming months, but not without this vital release process taking place. Grief is stirred in the heart due to relationship disappointments and parts of you that have been neglected and malnourished. Relationships are fragile and yet awakening, however watch for trauma and sudden release. Purging the emotional body will be non-negotiable. Use clarity in communication to address challenges head on. Use this time as a way to clarify your needs and speak them directly. There's a tendency to avoid the real issues right now and stay in the shadows. Keep things as simple, clear and direct as possible. Speak the sweet, honest truth. Full Moon In Pisces 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. Read more about the full Moon in Pisces Sun in Libra 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. It's a time of deepening relationships- but not through strength and power. As Sun moves through the sign of relationship and balance, it will request you look more deeply at your vulnerability and your resistance to being held, supported and honored. This is a request for integration between masculine and feminine energies. There is a certain awakening taking place right now through balance and harmony. Trust this process. There's also an opportunity for relationships to be your guru, a powerful teacher. This requires your willingness to look at your relationship with the masculine more closely; your inner masculine, as well as the masculine mirrors arriving to teach you. What do you need for greater support and holding? What is working and what is challenging you? How can you begin to use thoughtful communication as a way to get your needs met more fully? Keep leaning in closer to this question: What do I need to feel safe and supported? The coming month requires your willingness to look at your darkness and the depth of your pain. It's a time to pull up your biggest wounding from past relationships, the grief that has been undigested, and fully honor it. Your resistance to your pain is costing you your deepest nourishment. Be soft and gentle as well as fierce and determined. Move closer to your inner fears, not further away from them. If it scares you, it's worth looking closer. Why are you afraid of your own power source? Mercury in Libra Airy planet Mercury moves to air sign Libra just as October 22nd arrives, joining debilitated Sun here as well. Mercury will be in Libra until November 8th, about 18 days. He will be moving through a tight conjunction with the Sun during this transit, sharpening the mind with the experience of a soft Masculine presence. Ketu gives his gaze to both planets, sparking sudden release and flashes of insight as well as awakening through loss. Ruling planets of Libra are Venus (own sign) and Saturn (sign of exaltation). Both planets are moving through the powerfully transformational sign of Scorpio right now, supporting release of subconscious material and provoking shadow work to the surface. The deeper your willingness to release, the more space and availability you'll have for the connection, creativity and harmony you are seeking this month. Libra being the planet of relationship, connection and balance, supports the communication and connection tendencies of Mercury. They are great friends. This bodes well for communication of all sorts and can support connection, relationship and co-creation in the weeks ahead. Simultaneously it is also a cycle of releasing deep emotions, toxic and aggressive tendencies and finding a softer, gentler way of expressing. Moon will be in the harsh nakshatra of Ardra at the time of this transit, stirring big emotions. This cycle will activate mental and emotional body stories that are hurtful and painful, bringing them to the surface for you to look at more directly. As challenges rise to the conscious mind and become visible, it's also an opportunity to work with them and help them release. Rather then getting stuck in the painful process and old mythology, try to use it as a resource for change and transformation. Seek balance between your light and dark parts. This will support more integration between masculine and feminine- the relationship with self and your relationship with others. Mars in Capricorn On October 31st 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. Suffering is optional. Pay close attention to your inner aggression and force. At the same time, notice where you are resisting the nourishment you crave. Gains come when you honor your dark, hidden desires. Lean into your fear more closely. Align with this resistance and keep moving closer to your pain. Keep peeling back layer by layer, to expose your needs more fully. Without moving closer to your terror, you are missing out on the deep nourishment and satisfaction you crave. The heart seeks stability, grounding and focus. It needs integration, balance and co-creation. It wants to heal old pain and darkness. It wants your hidden grief to come to the light. Will you lean closer to it, in order for it to touch your conscious awareness? You want depth and pleasure, connection and pure relationship. How will you connect with this feeling unless your your heart is pure? Purify, clarify, release all that is stagnant within the chambers of your heart. Seek receptivity, openness and more life force energy. As you clean and clear, release and liberate yourself, an immense power can be released from within. Channel this power in effective and dharmic ways in order for maximum gains. . Did you miss my *free* Class? Use this resource to navigate Grief, Loss and Big Emotions. Listen Now
Need more support navigating your inner terrain and emotional body landscape? Let's connect for a session. Together we can create a plan of action for you. 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. Today, it is especially vital to soothe mind and emotions. 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.

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. 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.

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.

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.

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
