The Moon is waxing this week, becoming full on Sunday- coinciding with the Vedic fertility festival, Holi. This is a seed planting time. At the same time there is great turbulence and tilling of your inner soil. Find your ground and get embodied so that deeper roots can grow. Mercury moves to its debilitation sign this week, coercing the mind to a more inward state for the coming weeks. Money, communications, relationships, creativity and commerce will require your attention and re-evaluation.

Moon in 9th tithi
Navami

Monday begins with powerful momentum and change as Ardra nakshatra arrives. Moon moves through this constellation, sparking the powerful forces of Rudra, the storm god. Notorious for swift, powerful action, Rudra brings guaranteed changes. What type of changes? This will depend on your relationship with your inner power and purpose. Ketu and Saturn continue to give their gaze to the Moon, which can make for painful and uncomfortable emotions and experiences. Contraction and grief, coupled with sudden change and loss. Where are you feeling the pressure? What are you releasing and letting go? Step into your powerful inner currents and go with the flow.

Moon in 10th and 11th tithi
Dashami Ekadashi

Moon shifts from Rudra’s powerful domain to Aditi’s mid morning. Resources and support come from the Mother of All Goodness. She also brings unification and connection to a universality. Align with the oneness. Where are you disconnected from the whole? Your whole body, breath and intention? Use the disconnection as the source for reconnect.

Wednesday, March 8th
Moon in 11th and 12th tithi
Ekadashi and Dvadasi

Moon arrives in its own sign, Cancer just as Wednesday begins. Nourishment and equanimity arrives when Moon sits in its own still waters. However, Mars gives his gaze to the Moon and his debilitation sign, causing emotional body waves. Step into action, but move from your feeling level. Align with your emotional body wisdom and honor your needs. Find the soft landing within. Moon is in Pushya nakshatra today, bringing nourishment and abundance- through resources, guidance and support. Are you receiving the abundance of life? Where are you resisting, feeling the pinch?

Thursday, March 9th
Moon in 13th tithi
Trayodasi

Early morning, Moon shifts into Ashlesha nakshatra, the domain of the deceptive serpent, Sarpa, and Mercury, the mental body. There is a transformational quality in this portion of the sky, and often mistrust and misalignment as well. Snake energy shape shifts. What you see is not what you get. Where are you not feeling safe and supported? Who or what is keeping you feeling a lack of safety within? Where is this disconnection taking place in your body?

Friday, March 10th
Moon in 14th tithi
Chaturdasi

The changing quality of the Moon will be felt early morning as she leaps the gandanta (gap) between watery Cancer and fiery Leo, burning off excess emotion in the process. This is a delicate junction point that uproots and unties karmic knots- especially with the ancestors. As Moon arrives in Leo, it lands in the lap of Rahu. Both will dance in Magha nakshatra for the coming day, enlivening ancestral karmas, connections and insights. It’s time to let go. Time to step into your power and purpose. What is your emotional body telling you about this need?

Mercury moves into Pisces today. As Mercury settles into its debilitation sign, Pisces, on March 10th, a mental body depression arrives. This impacts life path, purpose and a sense of progress. This depression with hopes, dreams and aspirations is impacted by the inner critic and past failures. Part of you doesn't trust your ability to succeed, so subconsciously there's a refusal to step forward. At the same time, this is powerful opportunity to look more closely at the mental thought patterns that are hindering your success, momentum and achievements. In order to unravel these unconscious parts of yourself, you will need extra support, guidance and resources.

Purnima

Creativity and fertility enlivens as Moon steps into Purvaphalguni nakshatra early morning. This is a powerfully creative star, sparking immense potential and possibility through creative intelligence, creative powers. Bagha rules this portion of the sky, bringing gifts and resources that provide sensual pleasure, shakti, life force energy and sexuality. Welcome the abundance! Where are you resisting, refusing the nectar of life, her potency and power? Where are you refusing to awaken and align with your inner power and purpose? This is a reminder to not play small, but to step into your full potential.

Sunday, March 12th
Moon in 15th tithi and first tithi
Purnima to Pratipad

Full Moon is at 08:54 am MST while Moon transits Leo and Uttaraphalguni, the constellation of the ancestors and powerful creative life force energy. Aryaman rules this portion of the sky, offering resources like love, marriage, family, children, and that which perpetuates the ancestral line. Life force energy is enlivened here, which brings to life desires and brings them into manifest form. What seeds are you planting right now?

This Full Moon also marks the Holi celebration in the Vedic calendar which often roughly coincides with the vernal equinox and the arrival of spring (for the Northern Hemisphere).

Read more about the full Moon and the cycle to come.

Just after noon, Moon shifts into Virgo, joining retrograde Jupiter here. Retrograde debilitated Venus and debilitated Mercury give their gaze. Turn inward and investigate your inner landscape. What creative pulses can be felt? What is stirring within your creative intelligence. Deepen your creative powers.

Monday, March 13th
Moon in 2nd tithi
Dvitiya

Late morning, Moon shifts into Hasta nakshatra, brining Savitr to the surface. There is an awakening taking place today. Your creative seeds are sprouting, taking root. Pay close attention to your inner wisdom, to desires bursting forth. What do you notice about your dreams and visions today? Write them down, paint them, draw them, sing and dance these visions to life. Let them awaken from your inner knowing.



*All timing is Mountain Standard Time Zone

The Moon is waxing, slowly filling the emotional body. The week begins in the sixth tithi (phase), moving to the seventh tithi, marking the half way point in the cycle, with Sun newly in Pisces. Your light source will be fragile and ungrounded until it strengthens in degrees midweek. Stay grounded and get embodied. Use self care diligently, as the physical body will need extra care during this cycle of release and letting go.

Monday, March 14th
Moon in 6th tithi

The week begins with ample creative potential. With the eclipse portal still active, desires may be extra strong. Pay close attention to your wants, vs. your needs. It's important that you know the difference. Rohini activates immense creative potential. The masculine and feminine forces- Lord Brahma and goddess Saraswati- enliven this process. Lord Brahma contains and structures the ample creative wisdom of his feminine counterpart, allowing her creative abundance to come into form. What are you creating for your life? What action steps are moving you closer to this? Do you know how to manifest or are you feeling around in the dark, hoping for the light switch? It's time to upgrade your skills, ask for support and find new resources- in order for different results. Maximize your creative potential.

Monday night, Moon shifts to Mrigashirsha nakshatra, increasing extension, branching out and extending your range. What pathways are you opening up? What resources and support are helping you with this extension?

Tuesday, March 15th
Moon in 7th to 8th tithi

Late morning the emotional body shifts to Gemini, inviting in a dance between mind and feelings. Moon continues through Mrigashirsha nakshatra, supporting the cultivation of soma and nourishment within. This will require that you go slowly and tend to sacred pauses. Notice where you are pushing, rushing past the messages of support coming. Where can you listen more closely? What are you neglecting for your physical and emotional well being? Ketu and Mars give their drishti (gaze) to the Moon, causing forced release, struggle and painful encounters. Lean into these challenges and use it to let go of what is not working.

As evening arrives, Moon shifts to the challenging and forceful nakshatra, Ardra. Use this for emotional body release and purging grief, anger, sadness and pain from your being. Let tears, words, creativity move the suppressed emotions in healthy, constructive ways.

Wednesday, March 16th
Moon in 8th to 9th tithi

Ardra continues to be the influence over the day, stirring Rudra's power and stormy ways. Rudra's force moves prana, life force energy, which can be useful for making big strides, powerful actions, and creating momentum and change. Rudra is the father of the Maruts (winds) which are responsible for movement- inner and outer. Because prana insures health, life and balance, Rudra insures life and can support its harmony. He is a healer on every level. Sometimes force needs to be applied for release- where there has been no movement for too long. Rudra brings this release through the emotional body, though often a painful experience. The process supports the pranic winds to move more fluidly and in harmony with life. Move your prana today and allow emotions and tears to release in order for more balance within.

Evening brings a softer, gentler star to bring calm after the storm. Once Moon arrives in Punarvasu nakshatra, notice how the space that's been created through Rudra's release, invites in some new possibility. Lean in gently.

Thursday, March 17th
Moon in 9th to 10th tithi

Moon continues to move through Aditi's domain, Punarvasu. A moveable nakshatra, that can bring a variety of results. Aditi brings resources and support, abundance and goodness. She is the mother of 33 devas- including 12 Adityas, 11 Rudras, 8 Vasus, Indra and Prajapati. She brings equanimity, truth, unification and togetherness within the self and the universe. Yesterday Rudra cracked open and broke a part, creating space and opening. Today, Aditi helps you find a new type of nourishment to feel this space, while helping you put your pieces back together. Do this intentionally.

Early afternoon, Moon moves to its own sign, Cancer, and this sense of unification and nourishment strengthens. What are you opening to? What are you closing to?

Friday, March 18th
Moon in 10th to 11th tithi

As Moon continues through its own sign and Pushya nakshatra, tend to your emotional body, heart, chest and lungs. Feelings about mother, home and nourishment will be enlivened. You may notice grief or anger, or both. Find ways to release and move this through breath and body. Notice where there's resistance or avoidance. This will intensify the feelings, so create sacred space to deal with the emotions today. It will be worth your time and effort.

Mercury moves to its debilitation sign, Pisces,  on March 18th at 15:55 PST, joining Sun in this watery sign. The mental body is moving, changing and being cleansed with the fluid wisdom of Pisces. There is a certain experience of endings and release that will be experienced in this cycle, adding to the themes already enlivened by the eclipse portal and Sun in Pisces simultaneously. Both Sun and Mercury are out of the gaze of the other planets, offering a bit of freedom in expression as a result. The ruling planet of Pisces, Jupiter, is conjunct Rahu in Leo, causing shadowed expansion, resources and uncertainties that will effect the mind. Venus is considered exalted in Pisces, though currently still moving through a friendly sign, Aquarius, feeling the restructuring effects of Ketu. The mind will feel these changes as well, adding to instability at times. Read more about Mercury in Pisces in my Waxing Moon Horoscopes.

Late in the night, Moon moves to the final nakshatra of Cancer, Ashlesha and the mental body is activated. Stay out of the shadows and illusions.

Saturday, March 19th
Moon in 12th tithi

Sarpa, the snake, is enlivened as Moon continues through Ashlesha nakshatra. Mercury rules this constellation and is currently weak in degrees and now in its debilitation sign, Pisces. Tend to the mental body today and take this sensitivity into consideration. Don't push or over-stimulate the mind. Be gentle and go slow. Ashlesha can support mental body transformation when you directly address the shadow and illusions it stirs. Use this intention today and get support through resources like EFT (emotional freedom technique) to bring change.

Renewal, awakenings and beginnings arrive with the Vernal equinox tonight at 21:00 PDT. The length of light and darkness is almost equal, which marks a turning point. For the northern hemisphere, days will be getting lighter (longer). This is the beginning of spring's arrival! The sense of opening moves us towards completion as the eclipse portal ends on the 23rd.

Just before midnight, Moon leaps to Leo and Magha nakshatra. The ancestors are enlivened. Ask for their support.

Sunday, March 20th
Moon in 13th tithi

Moon in Leo amplifies the conjunction of retrograde Jupiter and Rahu. All three planets receive gaze from Ketu, Venus and Saturn. The emotional body may feel energized, but overwhelmed simultaneously. As the Moon moves through Magha nakshatra, its ruling planet, Ketu, provides an opportunity for cutting and clearing, as well as release and transformation. Are you resisting this release? The ancestors provide support with this process so ask for their support. Let spirit be a resource today with challenges and uncertainty. Call in spirit to provide guidance. The father's lineage is especially activated during Magha nakshatra transits, while the Moon represents mother. What needs to be cleared and released from both mother and father, your lineage, childhood? What doors are you closing? What doors are you opening?

Monday, March 21st
Moon in 14th tithi

Just as Monday begins, Moon shifts to Purvaphalguni nakshatra, increasing creativity and life force energy. Bhaga is an Aditya who brings resources and support through the material. Let his potential bring you gifts. Notice ideas, excitement, new choices and actions, as these are ripe with possibility and new growth. Allow passion to stir you and increase your momentum. Open your heart and expand your flow of love. What space has been created with all the clearing and releasing of the eclipse portal? What still needs to be let go? What seeds are you planting now? 

The week ahead brings a full Moon with a penumbral lunar eclipse and the Holi festival. Read more in my Full Moon Wisdom and the coming Moon Mind Calendar.
