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?

The May new Moon arrives on Thursday the 25th at 13:45 Mountain Time. Both Sun and Moon are in sidereal Taurus and Rohini nakshatra, Earthy Taurus likes the tangible, and helps the Moon feel rooted- which is why this is the Moon's exaltation sign. Rohini nakshatra is ruled by the Moon and is lord Brahma's domain. In the cycle to come, expect growth, expansion and immense creativity. How will you use and channel this creative life force energy?

Lord Brahma is the ruling deity of this notoriously creative constellation. Much manifestation and the ability to bring ideas into form is strengthened and supported within this nakshatra. Brahma's wife is goddess Saraswati. Here feminine life force power is rooted in art, music and wisdom- all resources for creating, manifesting and increasing growth. Both masculine and feminine energies are necessary for the creative process. Though it's easy to get lost in the physical realms and what is tangible, it is also vital to resource from your depths, your creative intelligence. It is your inner wisdom that supports your creation process.

This waxing cycle demands more self expression and sharing of your gifts, wisdom and creativity. There may be confusion and uncertainty about how to go about this, but take steps regardless. Relationships become both a resource for spiritual resourcing and sudden change and transformation. Stay rooted, grounded and stable within your pelvis and creative energy center. Sensuality and sexuality can be a resource for increasing life force energy, Shakti. Use it intentionally to create, transform, heal and grow. Focus on nourishment, gains and how to increase abundance. Increase life force energy through self expression, sharing your gifts and speaking your truth. Nourishment comes when we align with our highest needs.

What is your heart's longing, your biggest desire? Take powerful action steps in the coming cycle to birth your visions into form. Notice where you let confusion and uncertainty keep you stuck, overwhelmed and uncertain. Clean up and clear away people, situations and stagnant emotions that are robbing you of more space to create what you want and need. Clear away grief from the gut so that you can step into your power and purpose more fully!

Mars shifts to Gemini on Friday the 26th until July 11th when it will move into its sign of debilitation. This new transit increasing the need to clarify and refine your actions, steps and decisions. Gains from your creativity are available in the coming six weeks during this transit, but require that you stay true to your needs and inner vision. Don't get lost, sidetracked or stuck in the uncertainty or imperfections. Take consistent action steps regardless. As long as you are aligned with dharma and purpose, there will be support, resources and gains. Misalignment will create challenges and a waste of energy. Stay true to course.
