Moon Mind Calendar for the Week of {March 28th to April 3rd}

---

This Week's Intention: Stay grounded in your physical body wisdom. Continue to release and let go of stories and personal mythology that keep you stuck, unmotivated. Move into the receptive, your feminine center. Let Her emotional body wisdom support your truth.

Moon is waning, yet still energized at the beginning of the week as it moves through the first half of the cycle. Fertility and creative energy continue to inspire the feelings emerging at this time. With Saturn now in retrograde motion, structure and stability are more important than ever. What steps can you take to increase your relationship with your root chakra needs? Venus moves to its sign of exaltation, Pisces, increasing creative momentum and flow. Mercury shifts to Aries late in the week, causing the mind to make big shifts and changes. A new cycle for the mental and imaginal body begins. How do you awaken this creative, fresh start?

Monday, March 28th
Moon in 6th tithi

Moon continues to transit its debilitation sign, Scorpio, while moving through Anuradha nakshatra. Anuradha inspires growth from one's depths, rising from the mud and blossoming into wisdom and beauty- as is symbolized by the lotus flower. This constellation can bring precision and exactness, as well as inspiration and growth. It's mild and tender, extremely sensitive and thoughtful. Let your inner compassion help you soften and release wherever you're gripping too tightly. Ask for support for this release. Anuradha can give help through connection, friendship and outer support- but you must be receptive to receive. How can the physical body be a resource for increased receptivity? Attend to your sensitivity with diligence today. The emotional body will be in need of extra support, tenderness and compassion. Lean in and listen. As Moon and Mars are in exact conjunction today, releasing anger will be essential. This is a potent resource for increased momentum. Use it wisely.

Late evening, Moon shifts to the final nakshatra of Scorpio, Jyestha. Indra supports strength, yet extreme sensitivity simultaneously. Mind the mind tonight and honor self care remedies that support the mental body.

Tuesday, March 29th
Moon in 7th tithi

Moon continues to be sandwiched in between retrograde Saturn and Mars- both malefic planets that can cause the tender and sensitive Moon to feel both heat and pressure. This is the making of your inner diamond! Use the challenges for inner transformation. Remember, you are learning how to adjust and make necessary changes. This allows you to open new pathways, new possibilities. The Moon is in the final nakshatra of Scorpio and in exact conjunction with retrograde Saturn as well. Both are transiting Jyestha, the domain of Indra. Great strength and power are available here as Indra is the king of the gods. Simultaneously, he rules our senses, which are fragile and sensitive (as the word "senses" implies). The senses are extremely powerful and yet can derail one's evolution very quickly if misused. What is your relationship with sensation? Track your physical body wisdom diligently today. This is the best way to stay out of mental body struggle. The mind is not real, it's imaginal. The physical body is the only real and tangible connection to the now. Linger here. Use the body to change the mind.

Just before midnight, Moon shifts to the chaotic Mula nakshatra, jumping from Scorpio into Sagittarius. This is an often challenging gandanta point- between water and fire. Use self care diligently and get to bet early.

Wednesday, March 30th
Moon in 7th and 8th tithi

As Moon continues through Mula nakshatra today, the chaos principles are at play. Moon in Sagittarius receive drishti (gaze) from retrograde Jupiter and Rahu over the next few days. Shadows linger as expansion increases. There is strong release happening today, which will instigate chaos and calamity. The ruling planet of Mula is Ketu, the dis-connector, the liberator. Today, Ketu and Venus are in close degrees, tight conjunction, as Venus moves to the edge of Aquarius. There is a sensitivity with her feeling wisdom as she prepares to move into her sign of exaltation. Notice where the feminine parts of your being are opening, awakening, seeking more receptivity. This may arrive through challenge, conflict, pain or struggle. These are places where you are resisting the change process, the release. Lean in and surrender. Deepen your receptivity, your ability to feel, to connect, to hear Her wisdom.

Thursday, March 31st
Moon in 8th and 9th tithi

Just as Thursday begins, Moon shifts to PurvaAshada nakshatra, which will support more feeling, movement and creative flow through ruling deity Apas, the water goddess. Sometimes She comes harshly, sometimes softly. Your ability to attune with your feminine wisdom will determine the experience you have. The creative feminine planet, Venus, is the ruling planet of PurvaAshada. She moves to the edge of Aquarius and leaps to her exaltation sign today, increasing the theme of fertility and abundance during this "gap" time. How can you deepen your flow, your surrender, your receptivity?

Venus moves to her exaltation sign, Pisces on March 31st at 14:35 PDT, where she joins Sun and debilitated Mercury here. Challenges will arise with Venus's enemy, the Sun, and the debilitation of Venus's friend, Mercury. Venus is water, whereas the Sun is fire. When they conjunct, steam is created. Mercury symbolizes the mental body- meaning the mind will be feeling this steam. Physical and spiritual bodies (Sun) and your creative life force energy (Venus) will also be effected by the clouds. How do you work with the energy of steam? Do you use it to power your engine, or do you get lost in its mist and fog? Can you see beyond the vapors?

The beginning of this Venus cycle supports continued release and clearing, in order for new creative potential to take place toward the end of the transit. Focus your efforts on inner wisdom and self- development in order to maximize the nourishment available at this time. Increased support and abundance are possible, but clearing away obstacles and blockages that are keeping you from receiving is the essential ingredient in order to create more receptivity. Gather support and resources from mentors, gurus, guides and teachers. Especially those that support your creative and spiritual expansion.

Friday, April 1st
Moon in 9th and 10th tithi

As Venus adjusts to Pisces and her day, Friday, begins, the Moon moves to the latter half of the Ashada constellation. UttaraAshada is ruled by the Vishva Devas, universal principles, or all-gods, as they permeate our existence- whether we are consciously aware of them or not. Moon shifts to Capricorn late morning, receiving retrograde Saturn's structured gaze. How do you work with his limitations? The one's that keep returning to awaken you? Saturn ultimately wants you to align with simplicity. Release old pain and grief, the stories that keep you in lack. Something more brilliant is arriving for you- if you'll create space for it.

Venus will continue to be a strong force in your experience today. Ruling planet of UttaraAshada constellation is the Sun. Venus is now conjunct Sun and Mercury in Pisces. A certain heat within feelings and mind are increased in the coming days. How do you use this creative potential? Does it overwhelm or get negated? Do you ride this surge of creative life force energy or push it away? Honor your creative intelligence with wisdom. Mercury is at the edge of Pisces, preparing to leap into Aries. As the mind prepares for a fresh start, allow for final clean-up and release to take place within the mental body. Sensitivity is present. Use meditation and calming self care for extra support.

Early evening, Moon shifts to the sacred 28th nakshatra, Abhijit. This is a special portal where you can connect with spirit more intimately. Find ways to slow down, use sacred pause, lean into your spiritual body. Be in the receptive, be in the flow. Honor and attend to your inner wisdom. This portal will stay open until around 03:00 am Pacific time on Saturday.

Saturday, April 2nd
Moon in 10th tithi

Moon shifts out of Abhijit and into Sravana a few hours after Saturday begins. Vishnu rules this constellation, supporting dharmic work and the transference of wisdom through oral recitation, lineage and knowledge. Like Vishnu, Sravana is connected to expansion, as both are aligned with akasha, space. Moon in a Saturn ruled sign, Capricorn, receiving gaze from retrograde Saturn, demands structure and clarity. The expansive essence of Sravana may feel misaligned with this energy. Can you seek integration between these opposing forces- expansion and contraction? Let your body wisdom support you with this process.

At 15:02, Mercury crosses the tricky gap between endings/release (Pisces) and beginning/potential (Aries). The movement from debilitation in a water sign, to a fiery and aggressive sign, will cause the mind to feel fragile and agitated. A release process is being instigated. Notice where necessary clean-up and final release for this round must take place. Honor this process of endings and beginnings.

As Mercury arrives in an enemies sign, the mind plunges into acute awareness, confronting and identifying with diligence. Do you notice or do you push past the messages? The mind requires your witnessing in this cycle- in order to work more consciously with mental body. Fiercely sift through the stories in the conscious mind. Bravely use this information to navigate and pull up old stories from the subconscious and unconscious parts of your being. This takes vigilance and dedication, yet is the only way to re-write old patterns and behaviors.

There will be a sense of renewal and a new commitment to growth and life force in this cycle. Do you capitalize on this, or let it only be a subtle reminder of your greatness? Step into your power with new conviction, new authority. Clear away the challenges and obstacles and activate a more powerful way of being. Do this by working directly with what you encounter along the path. A strong desire to be more powerful and awake arrives with this cycle. Suddenly bigger, better, bolder actually feels possible, attainable. But the shadow lurks as a saboteur. With retrograde Jupiter and Rahu giving their gaze to Mercury, the expansion is possible, but not without attending to the limitations of the shadowed mind. Do you move towards this desire or let the old stories keep you in lack and limitation? Your mind determines your actions, so work with this old programming consciously to create new pathways and possibilities for yourself.

Reprogramming the mind is a valuable use of your time and effort right now. As you move into expansion, notice where the blocks and obstacles come up. This is your limiting belief system at work. Be strategic with your growth process. Use a combination of resources that work with all four pathways of healing for best effects. EFT (emotional freedom technique), mental body therapies, meditation, art therapy, movement therapies, energy work, etc.


Sunday, April 3rd
Moon in 11th tithi

Just after Sunday begins, Moon shifts to Dhanishta nakshatra, enlivening the Vasu Devas. There is a certain shining and brilliance that arrives with this nakshatra. Let the light enter you and your life. Where are you blocking this inner power and playing small? What parts of your being need more light, more life? The challenges and obstacles are places within you that need to be cracked open, in order for more light to enter. Lean into the challenges, support the release and letting go process. Notice where you resist the change and transformation, the re-structuring. Shine the light on these places of struggle within. Move towards awakening. Be seen, be noticed, affirm your strengths!

Monday, April 4th
Moon in 12th tithi


Just as Monday begins, Moon arrives in Satabisha nakshatra, Varuna's domain. He guards Natural Law and maintains order by witnessing all imbalances. He punishes those not aligned with Nature's wisdom, but can provide great healing in the process. Maintaining health by attending to cycles, rhythms and Nature's wisdom, are essential under Satabisha. Where are you aligned with the rhythms of Nature? Where are you misaligned? Today, make necessary adjustments in order to maximize your health, strength and vitality. Challenges are reminders that changes need to be made on some level.
