 As August comes to a close, a fiery new Moon in sidereal Leo occurs on the 30th at 04:38 am MT. Conjoining with four other planets in Leo, Moon conjuncts Sun, Mercury, Venus and Mars. Sun, Moon and Mercury are all transiting through the powerful constellation of Magha at the time of the new Moon, which puts them in a gandanta- or change point. Magha nakshatra is considered a gandanta point- one of three in the zodiac. Gandantas are notorious for uprooting the psycho-emotional bodies, ushering in deep physiological change. This particular new Moon supports change on the Mental, Emotional and Physical body levels- so be prepared for a whole body overhaul in the days and weeks ahead. A whole body transformation is taking place and this will impact all areas of your life. The constellation of Magha is ruled by Pitr, which is deeply connected to the ancestors. This new Moon, and the cycle ahead, brings support, insight and wisdom from the ancestors- so pay attention to the messages arriving and ask for their guidance. Magha is extremely powerful and bold. It asks you to step up, speak out, shine brighter and share your power. This is not a constellation that plays small. In the cycle ahead, make some clear choices about how you are using your power. Are you frittering it away on distractions and excuses? Are you focusing on right action and your dharmic path? Is your souls purpose your main intention? Are you action steps aligned with your desires? Get your priorities straight and don't waste time. The ancestors want you to align with dharma and they will be helping you get the support you need. The potential for a life upgrade is taking place right now. All you have to do is be willing to change and take more empowered, focused steps towards your dreams and inner wisdom. Mercury moves to Leo August 26th joining Venus, Sun and Mars- all in a very tight conjunction. When a planet is within the 10 degree range of the Sun it becomes combust, or burnt. The current dynamic creates mental and physical body burns. Stay cool and use water as a resource for finding balance. This month we need to watch for burn out- physically and mentally. The fire will be intensifying power, passion, force, masculine energy and motivation. Use your power mindfully and don't push or force- even though the temptation will be there. This can also be a very potent time for taking big, impactful action steps towards your passion and purpose. There is immense power available to all of us right now. How do you want to use this power?! Sun is our power source and he's transiting his favorite sign until mid September. This is your reminder to literally "make hay while the Sun shines." What projects have you been putting off? What steps have you been avoiding on your dharmic path? Where have you been hiding or diminishing your power?! Now is the time to step up! Step into your big energy, your inner power. Ask for more! Take a big leap towards your dreams! Up-level you life! Expand your vision! Stop playing small! Your gifts and wisdom matter. Step up and share your dharmic path in bigger and bolder ways. Creative RitualWhat does empowerment feel like? How do you feel this energy in your body? Use my Tapping Meditation below to support an increase in your power. Then use this awareness to create an image and identify your needs. Take this surge of energy and channel it into powerful action steps! Once you create your image of power, share it with us in the Embodied Moon FB group! Step #1 How do you know if you are disempowered, disconnected from your inner source? When your breath is short, body is tight and mind is running the show, you are likely disconnected from your inner wisdom and power. This may present itself through emotional body reactions, mental stories that seem to be on repeat in your head, and physical body responses that constrict you, leaving you closed off to possibility, options, new choices. Read More and Listen to my Tapping Meditation for Empowerment Step #2 Create an image of what it feels like to be empowered, connected and feeling your inner strength. What colors, textures and images arrive? Using craypas, paints or pencils, create an image of your power. Create an image that expresses this feeling using colors, textures and shapes. Allow 20 minutes at minimum for this nourishment image. Title your image. Step #3 Use your image to inspire a movement exploration. Let your body move in response to your image with the intention of "moving with your feelings". What feelings 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. Step #4 Harvesting. In your journal answer these questions: I am, I want, I need, I sense, I feel, I imagine, I express Where do I feel support in my life? Where do I need more support? JOIN US!

 On the 19th of February at 08:53 am MT, a full Moon in Leo and Magha nakshatra arrives, offering big waves and ancestral support. Wisdom and spiritual insights for your path are present. Use this time to create a connection with Spirit and avoid the material concerns of the ego. This is an important time to strengthen your relationship with your ancestors and realign with your dharmic path. Remember that the ancestors want your dharmic success. They are here to support you in achieving the healing and transformation possible for you and your lineage. Clarify your purpose and recommit to your steps. Magha nakshatra is ruled by Pitr, which means ancestors (particularly the father's lineage) and falls within the first portion of the sign Leo. It is considered a gandanta, of which there are three of in the zodiac. Each gandanta creates uprooting on the psycho-emotional body level- so we know that these junction points bring change and transformation with them. Magha gives results with our relationship to power, purpose and the ego identity. This constellation correlates to inner and outer authority, as well as both individual and ancestral karma. Those born with this constellation in their natal charts usually have a great deal of ancestral karma to unpack in this lifetime- particularly with the father. Magha reminds us to align with dharma, purpose, power, and clear our ancestral karma. This full Moon signifies an immense change with our inner power. There is a break in past karma taking place. Are you paying attention to the release of your shadow, or are you consumed with the challenges and overwhelm? Use this time to consciously clear and release negativity, burdens, toxicity and anything that is disempowering you. Focus on the direction you want to go and clarify the results you want to achieve. Make goals and be vigilant with your actions and choices. Do they support your focus and direction, or distract you and derail you? Remember that you have enormous power and potential. You have a purpose and many gifts that are needed in this world. Your wisdom, insights and light are a vital resource for reminding others to shine brightly. Stay close to your light and commit to shining even brighter. Temper the ego, but stay close to your truth and wholeness- shadow and light. Look for sudden flashes of insight and awareness around the time of the full Moon. Clarify your vision and release the shadows obstructing your view. From Aquarius, Sun and Mercury look at the Moon during this full Moon, creating mental clarity and focus. Use this to write down your goals and intentions for the coming cycle. In Sagittarius, Venus and Saturn are in tight conjunction until February 24th when Venus moves to Capricorn. Venus and Saturn are asking us to simplify our relationships, money and life force energy. Saturn will not support anything but simplicity, slow and steady steps, as well as methodical and consistent effort. When Saturn and Venus collide, a structure is given to the flow of watery Venus. Your job is to clarify the pathway and clear the rubble in the way of the flow. Where are you making things more difficult than they need to be? Relationships, money and health need more simplicity and structure. Sun has moved to Aquarius for the coming month- as of February 13th. Sun joins Mercury here until the 25th so expect a sharp mind in the coming weeks. Saturn gives his gaze, asking for slow, methodical behavior. Expect innovation and entrepreneurial insights in this transit. Think outside the box and focus your light on seeing all sides. Duality and differences emerge. How do you honor all the needs arriving? Aquarius requests structure and tradition, as well as different and unusual choices. This sign reminds us there are two sides to every coin. Can we find the wholeness? How do we attend to the integration and unification of opposing forces? Spend time this month integrating the duality within you and your personal mythology. Shine the light on binary patterns and behaviors. What parts of you need more harmony and unity? Wherever there are two opposing forces, we find conflict. Now is an ideal time to create peace within. Attend to shadow parts and lean closer to your darkness. Let the light show you the way. Hold both equally and honor your full body intelligence. Notice where Aquarius is in your Jyotish chart. What themes will be illuminated as Sun enters this part of your chart?! Don't Forget that we have a major transit on the horizon! Rahu and Ketu are getting ready to change signs on March 7th. Rahu will move to Gemini and Ketu will move to Sagittarius. Both will be exalted for the next 1.5 years- meaning the karmic nodes will be expressing themselves at maximum capacity. Ketu will also be conjunct Saturn for the coming year, breaking up stagnant grief and forcing restructuring in our lives in some very dramatic ways. To assess the impact of this transit, look at your jyotish chart. Where is Sagittarius in your chart? This is where Ketu will be cutting the ties that bind you and forcing release. What themes are present here? Look at Gemini in your chart. This is where Rahu will be transiting and forcing you to look more closely. He will be asking you to attend to the shadows and illusions in this realm of your life. Likely you are already feeling these shifts taking place. In advance of a major transit like this, the effects are often felt weeks and months ahead of time. What themes are surfacing already? Pay attention to the karmic shifts taking place in your life and body. This is a good time to get yagyas done for extra support. I'll be sharing more in an upcoming article about this powerful transition ahead. Not sure how this major transit will impact you? Reach out to me for more support and clarity: swatijrjyotish@gmail.com Creative Ritual Recommit to your Goals! Re-evaluate and clarify your action steps. What would it look like to be the leader of your life? What needs to change? What feels in alignment already? Where do you want to be six months from now?! Step 1: Write down your vision. Journal it into your full awareness. Step 2: Create your vision. Draw, paint or collage your vision into form. Give it a title. Step 3: Harvest your vision. If your image could speak to you, what would it say?! Step 4: Make your vision a reality. What steps need to take place for your vision to become a reality six months from now?! What action step can you take today?! Ready for More?! 5 Ways to Step Into Your Power Right now: 1) The point of power is in the now, this moment right now. You won't truly know the power of this moment without establishing a deeper sense of Self awareness. What is arriving right now within your inner landscape? What do you need right now in order to deepen your sense of reconnection? Do a Self audit. Self track every day. 2) Loosen the grip of triggers and painful stories. Move the mind and emotions and don't let them get stuck in your unconscious mind. Use my Tapping Meditation to take back your power, get embodied and hear the wisdom of your inner knowing. 3) Track the planets and know what's impacting you right now. A deeper Self awareness comes from understanding the influences upon you. Then you can properly resource yourself. Knowing how the planets are impacting your mind, body and emotions, is a powerful step in bringing light (jyoti) to your conscious awareness. Jyotish prevents unnecessary suffering and helps you align with right action and choices. Track the planets daily, weekly, and monthly. 4) Study the layers of your inner wisdom. Know thyself. Your jyotish chart is the most potent resource of identification and self exploration you will ever receive. It is the map of your soul, shows you your life purpose, your reason for being alive. The short cut to understanding who you are and why you are alive, can be found through studying your jyotish chart. All the wisdom you need for greater, clarity and ease is written within your cosmic map. Deepen your jyotish studies and awaken your inner knowing with this. 5) Commit to your self growth and say yes to new resources and guidance. Consistent guidance and support makes the difference between success and failure in this life. You can't get new results when you continue to do the same thing and make the same choices. Lasting sustainable change comes when you start changing old patterns and stop repeating old behaviors. Big life changes occur when you get ongoing guidance and support, new resources and tools for success.

Email me to sign up: swatijrjyotish@gmail.com  The August new Moon occurs on Monday the 21st at 12:31pm Mountain Time while Moon transits Leo and Magha nakshatra. This new Moon coincides with a total Solar eclipse which begins 09:46 am MDT and ending at 03:04pm MDT. The maximum eclipse will be at 12:25pm MDT. The total solar eclipse marks the closing of the two week long eclipse portal. Lunar and solar eclipses happen in pairs. A lunar eclipse always occurs about 2 weeks before or after a solar eclipse. On some occasions, a lunar eclipse can be both preceded and followed by a solar eclipse. This lunar eclipse kicked off a two week eclipse portal that closes with a full Solar eclipse on the new Moon August 21st. The upcoming solar eclipse is particularly important for the United States as it will shadow the majority of the USA. It is the first total solar eclipse in 99 years to cross coast-to-coast and the first to pass through any part of the lower 48 states in 38 years. Though the solar eclipse is an astonishing astrological event and an extremely rare occurrence, the Vedic perspective does not advise looking directly at the eclipse or being outside during the eclipse. From a Vedic perspective, it is never advised to be outside during an eclipse, or to look at it directly. If you must be outside, make sure your head is covered. Essentially you are absorbing shadow when you look at or are out during the eclipse- especially if it is visible in your location. It is like taking on more Rahu, or serpent energy, and is thought to bring more calamity and "shadowed awareness" into ones life. The lunar eclipse also marks a delicate two week gap between lunar and solar eclipses. It is not advised to start new projects at this time, nor make big decisions. Best to lay low, attend to spiritual pursuits, get extra rest and work with your inner shadow very consciously. This eclipse portal ends on the 21st of August. This Leo new Moon incites ancestral power and wisdom as Moon and Sun collide in Magha nakshatra, the magnanimous star of power, force and aggression. Symbolized by a throne room or palanquin, suggesting royalty, privilege and elitism. Magha likes to be treated well, as special, and ego can often get in the way of empathy and compassion. Excessive masculinity and force must be tempered and balanced with kindness, listening skills and understanding of others' needs. The desire for swift movement and change emerges in this waxing cycle. Temper it with caution, slow, steady steps and leaning into the emotional body. Relationships come to the forefront as well as the need for balance, integration and harmony. Extremes and polarities are heightened, so finding balance between opposing forces is paramount. Chip away at the heart and release past traumas, pains and illusions that keep you from being nourished, loved and fed by life. Reach, extend and dream big! As strong as the desires are, go slow and be methodical. Rushing, pushing and forcing outcomes will result in long term struggle and heart break. Go slow, lean in and acknowledge your desires. What is the underlying need? Gains come in this cycle with visibility, reaching out to new people and relationships, asking for your needs to be met as well as through new resources, guidance and support. New resources yield new results. Be mindful of your powerful voice. Use it for awakening, but don't hurt others with the storm in your mouth. Be aware of deception and illusion as well as fears that cloud judgement. Look closer at this fear and how it impacts the ego. Only by honoring and acknowledging the needs of your fear can you open new pathways of nourishment and life force energy. Inner and outer dynamics may feel imbalanced. Seek support for greater balance and harmony. The gateway is your emotional body and the wisdom it holds. Don't negate its messages. Go slowly so you can hear and acknowledge what it has to share with you. Dig in, lean closer and let your inner waves guide you towards new resources as well as self inquiry. What does your emotional body tell you it needs? What is missing? What is the nourishment you seek? There is growth, strength and movement towards dharma in the days and weeks ahead. Align your steps with your path and purpose. Release and let go of choices and behaviors that keep you from highest passion and joy. Ask the ancestors to help you with this process. Let them know you need the right resources to get clarity. What mental body illusions and deceptions are keeping you in the dark? The mental body stories that keep you playing small and pretending you're powerless to change your circumstances? This is the root of what needs to change. Determine the mental body stories that are adharmic (against your dharma) and begin to change, transform and release these painful attachments once and for all. Creative Ritual This is a powerful time to align with your dharma, your soul's purpose, as the eclipse portal awakens dharma and purpose.

Every week I offer two *free* dharma coaching sessions to action takers who are ready for deep life change. Is this you?! Send me a message to see if I have any openings: swatijrjyotish@gmail.com  With all three gandantas open right now and three retrograde planets, it feels like we are traversing the netherworlds! You may be asking yourself: Has anything really changed since last year? It feels like the same old ground. Lots of foggy uncertainty, not sure what is real, or how to move forward. You may be questioning since the Aries new Moon: How can I shift and change the challenges that are re-emerging right now?! What are you noticing?! What is returning?! How does it feel?! Moon is transiting Gemini until Monday, May 1st. This is Mercury's sign and will invite in more mental body returns. What stories and connections are showing up as reminders?! These are places where you might need to do more mental body clean up. All three gandantas are open once again- now that Mercury has retrograded back into Ashwini nakshatra. Gandantas are points in the zodiac between water signs and fire signs (Pisces/Aries, Cancer/Leo, Scorpio/Sagittarius). These points are notorious for causing immense upheaval, as deeply rooted knots within your being get released. Ashwini, Mula and Magha are nakshatras situated in these powerful gaps that trigger immense change processes to take place. These nakshatras are also ruled by Ketu, a non planet notorious for sudden release, forced letting go and remarkable changes. His goal is to support your moksha, liberation, to release you from your attachments. Mercury is currently retrograde moving through Ashwini. This is impacting the mental body. Clean up the mind, restore and harmonize. Rejuvenate and spend time in nature. Meditation and health resources such as Ayurveda will be especially important for this transit. The mind is getting uprooted, retracing old stories, and overheated as it conjuncts with exalted Sun. Mercury goes direct on May 3rd but will continue to transit Ashwini until May 23rd, which keeps the gandanta propped open most of the month. Saturn is retrograde in Sagittarius and Mula nakshatra. Mula nakshatra is ruled by the dark goddess, Nirrti, responsible for adharmic activity- that which is against dharma. She is notorious for causing chaos, calamity and misfortune, while also pulling you from your dharmic path. There is a risk in this year of losing your path, getting stuck in the storm of uncertainty, confusion and misalignment. If you find yourself lacking clarity about your life purpose, or confusion seems to increase, it's time to seek support and guidance. Resources, guidance and support will be even more important at this time because it will be so easy to fall into the chaos and confusion that Nirrti provokes. With great diligence however, this can also be a time of strengthening your determination, focus and alignment with dharma. Do not lose hope. Do not get lost in Nirrti's perfect storm. Stay connected and aligned with your dreams, desires, goals and passions. These are important resources to help you honor your dharmic path. Rahu is always moving in reverse and is currently in the gandanta situated in Leo and Magha nakshatra. This transit is bringing ancestral karma to the surface, intensifying shadows and woundology that is connected to the masculine and father. Old karmas, lineage karmas, karmas related to the masculine, are asking you to look more closely, clear and release. The spiritual body is impacted by this transit as Magha closely relates to the ancestors. What challenges are you noticing with these planetary themes? Gandantas are door openers. They are portals of the in-between. Neither here nor there. Due to their nature of uprooting, they can cause a sense of ungroundedness and sudden, painful loss. You may be noticing a lack of footing, clarity and purpose. Much uncertainty is arriving right now- mentally, spiritually and physically. You may be feeling uncertainty in the spiritual, mental and physical bodies as a result. Stay as close to your body and its wisdom as you can right now. More inner resourcing is important, and in many ways can be easier to do as a result of the liminality of these gandantas and the current transits moving through them. What are you noticing- spiritually, mentally and physically? I am on a mission to help sensitive souls connect with their inner truth and inner wisdom. To connect with purpose and dharma. We need you now more than ever!
