Just as December begins, the Full Moon arrives on the 3rd at 08:47 am Mountain time. Moon is transiting its mulitrikona degrees in Taurus and the creative star, Rohini at the time of fullness. Taurus supports the Moon with grounding, creativity and themes of nourishment. Rohini is extremely creative and brings desires into manifest form. The coming waning cycle requires deep release and uprooting in order to make space for the new. What are you wanting in your life that has not yet arrived? What space do you need to create in order to make room for the newness?

Both Ketu and Mars give their gaze to the tender and sensitive Moon- which represents the Emotional Body. Expect sudden emotional release in the coming weeks- especially anger, rage and passion. The Moon will be extra fragile and sensitive to trauma. The emotional body is thawing out, releasing past trauma and numbness. Pay attention to your emotional sensitivity. Use clear boundaries, express your needs, release emotions carefully and don't let your feelings get bottled up.

This cycle brings a powerful uprooting in the psycho-emotional body that also impacts the physical body directly. Grief is being released in a variety of ways and through a variety of emotions. It needs to be released from the body so support this process. Remember that this release is creating space for the new. You must make room for the nourishment that you seek. Where are you stuck, frozen or numbing your emotional body? Where are you feeling disconnected from your body and its wisdom? Support the release of emotions through art, music, song, dance and writing.

Of the holy trinity of gods in the Vedas, Lord Brahma is the Creator. Because of him, visions, dreams and desires become manifest form. Lord Brahma (and his wife goddess Saraswati by default) are the ruling energies of Rohini nakshatra. Lord Brahma created the universe and it sprung forth from his naval. Thus Rohini is immensely creative and skilled at manifesting. Goddess Saraswati rules over the arts, wisdom, music and technology and brings her influence to this nakshatra as well. This constellation supports desires coming into fruition, as well as increases resources and creativity. Clarify your desires and take action steps to bring them into fruition.

Use the coming weeks to create. Set big goals for the months ahead. Start moving towards your desires now. Use the arts to inspire creativity and life force energy. Move towards nourishment and identify where you are resisting your needs for more money, vitality, life force energy, passion and purpose. Are you moving closer to your goals and desires, or further away from them? Are you aligning with your inner wisdom or choosing adharma- going against your dharmic path and purpose? Crack open your resistance. Lean closer to your fear. Why are you so afraid of your own creative power? What keeps you playing small after all these years?

What are you creating in your life? What seeds need to be planted now? What big desires, goals and visions do you have for your self and your life?

1) Identify your dreams and write them down. Spend 5-10 minutes journaling about your goals, dreams and desires for the coming six months, 1 year and five years.

2) Using craypas, collage, paints or pencils, create an image of your biggest desire. What does it feel like for you? Create an image that expresses this feeling using colors, textures and shapes. Allow 20 minutes at minimum for this nourishment image. Title your image.

3) Use your image to inspire a movement exploration. Let your body move in response to your dream and desire image with an intention of "moving with your feelings". What sensations emerge for you during your dance? What awareness? Allow 5 to 10 minutes for this movement exploration. I encourage you to extend this time frame as you recycle this process.

4) Harvesting. In your journal answer these questions:

I am, I want, I need, I sense, I feel, I imagine.

what am I moving towards? What am I moving away from?

BONUS: Step into your powerful feminine wisdom with this!

Sun shifts out of debilitation and into Scorpio on November 16th, just before the Scorpio New Moon on November 18th. The coming month will request depth and introspection, peering into the unconscious terrain of your being, and gathering insights and pearls of wisdom. Sun in Scorpio shifts the light away from the most vulnerable and fragile time of year (Sun in Libra), towards looking at your darkness, pain and emotional struggles. Vulnerability emerges but through themes of sexuality and sensuality, as well as debts and grief, the past and illusions.

New Moon in Scorpio and Vishaka nakshatra arrives on the 18th at 04:42 am Mountain Time. Vishaka nakshatra is ruled by the dual god, Indragni. Indra is the king of the gods, while Agni is the priest. Both rely on each other and are interdependent on each other's skills and resources. One can not function without the other. The king relies on spiritual support from the priest, whereas the priest relies on the king's financial resources. Both are extremely powerful, yet their power doubles when they work together.

Agni is the fire of life, the powerful transformational energy of change, release and healing. Agni brings new life through digestion and assimilation. He connects us to the mouth, the portal of nourishment, where food is transformed into body and flesh. Agni supports the transformation of our offerings at the altar, in order for our gifts to be received by Spirit and the ancestors.

Vishaka nakshatra reminds us that two heads are better than one, that support and relationships are vital for life. This constellation also places an emphasis on duality and the need for integrating opposing forces. Differences can in fact be resources, rather than challenges that set us apart. How can you integrate opposing forces within you? Where are you in conflict with the illusion of difference and separateness? What inner conflicts are enlivened right now? What battles are you waging- against yourself and others?

This Scorpio Moon brings a new cycle that will encourage you to look at power in new ways. Identify your struggle and challenges with power. Where are you playing small and resisting your inner strength and empowerment? Where are you resisting goals and desires? What parts of you are stuck playing small when you know you have so much more to offer, share and express?

The coming weeks require deeper integration and balance between polarities, opposing forces and inner conflicts. Anger, rage, resentment and feelings of being stuck may emerge. Are you ready to change this dynamic? Action steps and new choices are required. Seek new types of support and resources to help you gather new insights and guidance. Collaborate and connect with others in new ways. Release the old in order to create space for new nourishment, wealth and bounty. If your old ways are not providing the results you want, try something new.

What needs to change in order for you to get new results? Where do you need more support, resources and guidance? How are you staying stuck, playing small and disempowering yourself? In what ways are you sabotaging your success, growth and strength?

Four Ways to Release Anger Right Now:

#1 

Anger is often a first response emotion. It can become an addiction to feel anger- especially if this is the way you learned how to feel and express. 

Anger happens to be the most socially acceptable emotion, so most people default to anger quite easily. Step number one is to get into the habit of checking in with the four levels of your being and do a self audit. This process can help you identify the experiences happening within your inner landscape so you don't disconnect from your body and emotions. 

Do A Self Audit

#2

What are you angry about? Who are you angry at? Consider this your challenge. Now use my Challenge Creative Ritual to identify, move and transform your anger into potent awareness. 

#3

Move your anger safely. Release anger and rage by screaming, yelling, punching pillows, throwing things (without harming yourself or anyone/anything else) and stomping. Get the sound of your anger out in a safe, contained space. Let the emotion move out and through your body.

#4

Tap and Rant. EFT is a powerful resource for moving emotions- especially anger. Tap on the heart point in the center of the chest or tap through the points as you speak your anger aloud. Don't hold back. Tapping through the points as you express your anger, will support its movement and release, without it getting stuck in your body.

LISTEN NOW

The November Full Moon arrives Friday the 3rd at 23:22 Mountain Time. Moon transits Aries and Bharani nakshatra, ushering in new beginnings, transformation and release. Mars, Jupiter, debilitated Sun and Venus (now in its own sign) all give their gaze to the Moon. Seek balance, integration and harmony in the weeks ahead. A reminder to not push or force outcomes as it is easy to burn up your life force quickly right now. Less is more. Fortunately Venus and Sun won’t get too close to each other during this transit, but extra self care is important right now anyway. Saturn has newly entered Sagittarius and is in a vulnerable gap right now within Mula nakshatra. Structure and support need your attention as old support systems are deconstructed.

Bharani nakshatra is symbolic of death, dying and transformation, as Yama is the ruling deity here. He requests restraint and simplicity, rather than indulgence and extravagance. Yama determines your direction after death and which realm you will end up in. He weighs and measures your karmas in order to make his decision. In this way he is often called Dharmaraja as he determines your dharmic path in the next life time. This is a Ugra constellation, which means it is fierce and severe, promoting harsh or aggressive acts.

The Yoni is Bharani's symbol, expressing the harshness of birth and the death process that arrives when we step into the new. Life and death are intimately intertwined and Bharani nakshatra reminds us of this. The vagina is a powerful creative force and is connected to the strength of the Divine Feminine, as well as all women. The birthing process is an act of transformation, release, death and new beginnings. What are you birthing in your life? What are you releasing?

In the coming cycle, move towards the nourishment of life and ask for resources and support, guidance and wisdom to help strengthen your inner resolve. Seek balance with inner and outer, silence and dynamism, action and rest. Move closer to your truth and inner wisdom. Lean into your emotional body and let it help you find balance. Navigate deception and illusion by staying connected to your body and its strength. Birth new offerings and share your creative life force energy with others in meaningful ways.
