This Week's Intention: Find your balance point. The stillness within. Get embodied. Let your body be the resource for connecting and finding the calm within your storm. 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. Monday, March 6th 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. Tuesday, March 7th 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. Are you disconnected from your First Chakra? Use this easy test to find out how embodied and connected you are to your First Chakra- and why it matters so much for your health and vitality. Watch My Short Video Now 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. Read more about Mercury in Pisces Saturday, March 11th Moon in 15th tithi 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. Are you disconnected from your First Chakra? Use this easy test to find out how embodied and connected you are to your First Chakra- and why it matters so much for your health and vitality. Watch My Short Video Now 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 Did You Miss My LIVE

Use this easy test to find out how embodied and connected you are to your First Chakra- and why it matters so much for your health and vitality. Watch My Short Video Now Sun in Aquarius Sun moves to Aquarius at 07:46 am MST today, joining the restructuring planet, Ketu here. This is a healing transit, if you choose to look closely at your challenges, setbacks and obstacles. Resistance to your darkness will provoke more challenges, so best to surrender and lean in. The soul and the ego are going through a transformation in the cycle to come, which lasts until March 14th. Allow yourself to be stripped, shredded and release illusions that are keeping you in the dark. Your ability to awaken from your slumber will be determined by your courage to look at your shadows. Do you know how to transform your darkness into light? Do you have the necessary skills to take your challenges and turn them into resources? Can you harness your immense creative power and use this for your awakening? This journey requires skills, awareness, guidance and support. It's time to upgrade your skills and resources in order to start getting some very different results. Staying stuck is no longer an option, but your resistance to asking for guidance and support will prolong the pain. Relationships are a big part of this transformational process you are undergoing. Illusions about yourself are coming to the surface as you confront challenging parts of yourself. Lean in and look closely. What needs to be released in order for you to find a deeper, more sustainable inner strength and stability? What stories and illusions are keeping you resistant to self love and compassion? You are boundless, immense love. Why continue to withhold the abundance of Nature from yourself?! Why are you keeping the walls up, the resistance in place? It's now time to receive the nourishment of life more fully. What needs to change in order for more receptivity and empowerment? ***UPDATE *** Sun shifts to Satabisha nakshatra late evening, February 18th. This is a game changer as Sun nears exact conjunction with Ketu. He'll be dropping through the tail of the serpent in the coming days/weeks, getting dismembered in the process. In many ways, this is the finale after months of a Kala Sarpa yoga that has brought to light many masculine/father themes. As Rahu transits Leo (now in Magha, related to father's lineage and the ancestors), shadows connected to the masculine are surfacing. Satabisha is a Rahu ruled nakshatra, which brings deception, illusion and uncertainty into awareness. Varuna rules this domain, and he is all-seeing, all-knowing- bringing with him a heightened critic and intense awareness. This can be turned outward or inward, or both. Remember compassion in the coming weeks- we will all need it. It will be easy to be overtly critical to ourselves and others, so try to be gentle and lean into your inner critic with loving-kindness as much as possible. What does your critic tell you about what you need? What is it asking of you in order to feel safe? At the same time, this nakshatra can also provide very rich and powerful healing with it. All that intensive gaze and awareness can be put to good use. What are you noticing within that needs to change? Are you ready now to make some dramatic shifts in your life? Now is the time. Not heeding to Varuna's scrutiny will only increase misery, pain and health challenges that can't be undone. Be very mindful of your health and body as Sun moves through Satabisha until March 4th. You may notice your health is more delicate and your body needs more TLC. Stay connected, grounded and embodied as much as possible. As Sun gets cracked open, deconstructed and restructured (with Ketu's help) body and soul awaken to new possibilities. This will likely be uncomfortable, but trust the process. Your deepest truths and needs are coming to the surface. Honor the darkness that is coming to the light. Mercury in Aquarius February 22nd, mid morning, swift moving Mercury arrives in Aquarius- joining Sun and Ketu here. This marks the last planet that will conjunct Ketu after months of all planets being hemmed in between Rahu and Ketu during the Kala Sarpa Yoga. Though this malefic yoga technically ended once Mars shifted into Pisces weeks ago, the conjunction of Sun and now Mercury with Ketu, is significant. There is closure taking place and certain death to old mental behaviors and patterns. The mind will be disconnected, restructured and transformed. Think of this like an internal re-boot. Confusion, uncertainty and challenges with mind, communications and all things Mercury may arrive in the coming weeks. Patience, slow steps and clear intention will be helpful, though the mind will be running faster than usual, and easily fried. Don't push or force yourself to perform. It's important to go slow in the coming days, though it will go against your tendencies. Slow down anyway. Attend to grief and pain surfacing- don't cut and paste over it. There is an important shift taking place with your dharmic path, your life purpose. Pay close attention to your voice, speech and your inner wisdom. Speak your spiritual truth and stay close to your body. Retreats, meditation and alone time will be essential in order for you to land within your inner knowing. Retrace your steps, walk old ground and notice what wisdom is returning. What teachers, gurus and guides are re-turning? Return to old resources that you've forgotten. Ask for support and guidance in order to clarify and activate your dharmic path and purpose. Take meaningful action steps. Maha Shivaratri Shivaratri arrives just before the new Moon (Amavasya) on February 24th. This is a time of deep silence and strong potential. It is the marriage celebration of Shiva and Shakti, a symbolic union of wholeness- when the absolute unmanifest, conjoins with the pulse of life force energy. Masculine and feminine merge and create life- and the ability to manifest becomes amplified. From this place of union, we can ignite the power of being, the power of life. Transformations abound right now- inner and outer. Are you paying attention to polarities in your life? What dualities are you aware of and what is needed for their integration? This is a powerful time for meditation and reciting the Mrityunjaya Mantra: oṁ tryambakaṁ yajāmahe sugandhiṁ puṣṭi-vardhanam ǀurvārukam-iva bandhanān mṛtyormukṣīya māmṛtāt ǁ Shivaratri supports planting seeds of potential through the depth of silence. Shiva as destroyer, is at one with this awakened state of creativity. His role is to support your collapse into concentrated, focused alignment with the harmony of existence- that which is pure consciousness, deep, unaltered silence and awakening. This is where your creativity resides, your ability to manifest, create and transform- over and over again. Through the transcendence, you can easily touch this silence in its pure form. Shiva reminds us to use this silence to release, simplify and transform. From a silent and awakened state, you can plant the seeds of life more intentionally and powerfully. Use your deep inner silence for stirring your creative desires. As the full Moon arrives on March 12th, the fertility festival, Holi, will activate your silent seeds, helping them become more fully awakened with the creative wisdom of Nature. What are you creating for your powerful life? What is your vision? Let your imagination move you into being. Create life! New Moon in Aquarius On February 26th, the new Moon takes place in Aquarius at 07:59 am MST with the annual solar eclipse and four planets transiting the medicine star, Satabisha. Amavasya is the empty Moon, or new Moon- ripe with potential, fertility and possibility. It is always connected to Pitr, the god of the ancestors, particularly the father's lineage. There is an emptying out of the masculine taking place right now. A release is occurring in powerful ways. Lean into this process of letting go in order to maximize the healing potential arriving. Months of provocative themes have been emerging around the masculine, father, patriarchy and misogyny. Months of confrontation with power, strength, empowerment and the inner authority have emerged in brutal, challenging ways. Inner conflicts have intensified with the masculine and feminine. These themes have shown up in relationship dynamics, losses, pains and struggles, and with inner and outer needs. A new balance is arriving, but not without painful restructuring.

Use this easy test to find out how embodied and connected you are to your First Chakra- and why it matters so much for your health and vitality. Watch My Short Video Now Mars in Aries On March 1st at 13:38 MST, Mars moves through the challenging gandanta (gap) of endings and leaps into a new beginning. He will be burning off the past two years of karma (action) as he steps through this portal. There are three of these poignant gandantas in the zodiac- all marked by the gap between water and fire signs. It takes approximately two years for Mars to cycle through the zodiac, roughly two months in each sign. This transit into Aries, marks a powerful beginning, an awakening into new possibility and potential. Aries is the first sign of the zodiac, and Ashwini is the first lunar constellation of the zodiac. As Mars enters this territory, it is a new beginning, a renewal, and also marks a clarity of action and purpose. Mars is the warrior planet; when in balance, he takes decisive action steps and empowered choices. When weak, actions, decisions and momentum falter. Mars will be in Aries, his own sign as well as his office (mulitrikona), until April 13th, which is a powerful time for clarifying your actions, choices and goals for the year ahead. This can be a cycle of gains and momentum if you align with it properly. It's a time to uproot relationships and behaviors that don't serve you, honor or support you. What do you need for greater stability and support- within your body, relationships and environment? Rahu will be giving his shadowed gaze to Mars during this transit, which can bring increased strength, or excess confusion. Don't lose sight of your vision at this time. The risk of self doubt and the strangling impact of the critic is high. This is an important time to seek clarity and focus, with your passion and purpose. What support, resources and tools do you need for greater support? What is working? What needs an upgrade? You will need to radically let go of the old, in order to fully invite in, and embrace the new. If it's not working, get rid of it. Venus Retrograde At 07:21 am on January 27th, Venus arrives in its exaltation sign, Pisces, joining Mars here. This will be an extended stay for Venus in its most powerful sign. Normally Venus transits are about one months long, but Venus will be here until May 31st. Part of this transit, Venus will be retrograde (from March 4th to April 15th) rendering her effects debilitated. Expect highs (exalted) and lows (retrograde) with all things Venus during this transit. The impact of Venus will effect relationships, finances, creativity, health and the feminine. Jupiter gives his gaze to Venus and Mars seven houses away, creating a necessity for balance between spiritual and material desires. Jupiter rules over the gods (devas), while Venus rules over the demons (asuras). These are the inner dynamics of all human beings- light and dark. A new sense of balance is taking place within you, within your polarities and opposing forces- particularly the masculine and feminine principles. This is why relationships will be particularly poignant in this transit, as relationships mirror the self. Dharma is a powerful part of the coming four months as Moon, Sun and Sravana nakshatra are all on the horizon at the time of Venus's arrival into Pisces. Your dharmic path will require immense courage and bravery, but in fact there's much support arriving for you if you are willing to receive it. It's the heaviness and burdens that are in your way of thriving. Release the burdens that are holding you back and step powerfully into your creative intelligence. Speak, express and articulate through creative outlets. Share your wisdom with others and align with your highest truth. Listen to my podcast about Exalted Venus to understand the impact on you personally Full Moon in Leo The March full Moon is on the 12th at 08:54 am MST, while Moon is at the edge of Leo. Moon will be conjunct shadow node Rahu at this time and moving through Aryaman's domain in Uttaraphalguni. Aryaman is one of the 12 Adityas, meaning he brings resources, support and abundance on the material plane of existence. He is also known as the chief of the ancestors and that which pleases them- particularly through marriage, children and anything that continues the lineage. The Phalguni stars relate to love, sexuality and relationship. Perfectly timed, as the Vedic fertility festival Holi is taking place simultaneously. More details coming soon! Mercury in Pisces 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. There are ample resources arriving. Are you able to receive this nourishment? Or are you stuck in lack, refusal and resistance? Imagine all the support in the world lining up to insure you succeed, are fully nourished and supported. It's here, waiting for you! What is standing in your way of receiving all this abundance? Your old stories, mental programming and past failures will make it impossible to fully accept and align with the abundance of the universe. Use this cycle to clean up, release, attend to and purify the mental programming that has you locked in behaviors, choices and experiences of lack and malnourishment. It's time to upgrade your mind. Sun in Pisces On March 14th, Sun moves to the final sign of the zodiac, Pisces, at 05:40am MST. He joins Mercury and Venus here. Retrograde Jupiter gives his gaze, bringing expansion and integrity. This is a cycle of increasing courage, strength and empowerment by activating creativity and inner power. It's vital that you step into your creative intelligence with gusto and tenacity! Where are you slacking, playing small and refusing to increase the vibrancy of your life? What does it look like to upgrade your relationships, purpose and inner power? How does it feel to create a new, empowered life for yourself? This cycle supports the release and letting go that will prepare you for an even more powerful awakening. Next step is Sun, exalted in Aries! Do everything you can to prepare now. What is standing in the way of your full power? What relationships keep you stuck in lack and disempowerment? Clean, clear, release. It is especially important to attend to this purging on mental and physical body levels. An increase in vitality is possible, as you clarify and purify old stagnation, toxicity and impurities. Lighten your load! Get grounded and clarify your next steps. Late March, Sun and Venus collide, causing a combustion. Fire and water don't blend well and can end up scorching the vitality within. Your inner resiliency, life force, is extra delicate at this time as Venus retrogrades and debilitates at the same time as the combustion. This is an ideal time to attend to health, vitality, wellness and the physical body very diligently. A deep purification process is taking place- preparing you for a new Sun cycle. Radically release and purify. Are you disconnected from your First Chakra? Use this easy test to find out how embodied and connected you are to your First Chakra- and why it matters so much for your health and vitality.

Aries: Here we go again You're dancing with the fire You're dancing with the Beast You're still hungry- I'll take you to the feast. Here we go again The rage is a craving The thunder is your song The power is misfortune The misery is strong Here we go again The spirals and the chaos The torment and the chains No steps to the mirror Oh! The Beast lives on. Here we go again I'm waiting with my palms I watch you burn and writhe I sing your laments Still waiting for your dawn. -Swati J. Miller Taurus: THE HOUSE OF BELONGING I awoke this morning in the gold light turning this way and that thinking for a moment it was one day like any other. But the veil had gone from my darkened heart and I thought it must have been the quiet candlelight that filled my room, it must have been the first easy rhythm with which I breathed myself to sleep, it must have been the prayer I said speaking to the otherness of the night. And I thought this is the good day you could meet your love, this is the grey day someone close to you could die. This is the day you realize how easily the thread is broken between this world and the next… -David Whyte Gemini: It doesn't interest me if there is one God or many gods. I want to know if you belong or feel abandoned. If you know despair or can see it in others. I want to know if you are prepared to live in the world with its harsh need to change you. If you can look back with firm eyes saying this is where I stand. I want to know if you know how to melt into that fierce heat of living falling toward the center of your longing. I want to know if you are willing to live, day by day, with the consequence of love and the bitter unwanted passion of your sure defeat. I have heard, in that fierce embrace, even the gods speak of God. —David Whyte Cancer: How do trees deal with injustice? They grow a branch wherever they were cut. And how do sparrows deal with grief? They open their tiny wings and swoop at anything that glistens. So why am I all cut & hungry? Because I do not know the tree that is my soul and refuse the sparrow in my heart. - from Finding Inner Courage by Mark Nepo Leo: Everyone who terrifies you is sixty-five percent water. And everyone you love is made of stardust, and I know sometimes you cannot even breathe deeply, and the night sky is no home, and you have cried yourself to sleep enough times that you are down to your last two percent, but nothing is infinite, not even loss. You are made of the sea and the stars, and one day you are going to find yourself again. - F. Butler Virgo: "Once upon a time, when women were birds, there was the simple understanding that to sing at dawn and to sing at dusk was to heal the world through joy. The birds still remember what we have forgotten, that the world is meant to be celebrated." -Terry Tempest Williams Libra: SWEET DARKNESS You must learn one thing. The world was made to be free in. Give up all the other worlds except the one to which you belong. Sometimes it takes darkness and the sweet confinement of your aloneness to learn anything or anyone that does not bring you alive is too small for you. -David Whyte Scorpio: The Thing Is The thing is.. to love life, to love it even when you have no stomach for it and everything you've held dear crumbles like burnt paper in your hand, your throat filled with the silt of it. When grief sits with you, its tropical heat thickening the air, heavy as water more fit for gills than lungs; when grief weights you like your own flesh only more of it, an obesity of grief, you think, How can a body withstand this? Then you hold life like a face between your palms, a plain face, no charming smile, no violet eyes, and you say, yes, I will take you I will love you again. -Ellen Bass Sagittarius: Be taught now, among the trees and rocks, how the discarded is woven into shelter, learn the way things hidden and unspoken slowly proclaim their voice in the world.... Find that far inward symmetry to all outward appearances, apprentice yourself to yourself, begin to welcome back all you sent away, be a new annunciation, make yourself a door through which to be hospitable, even to the stranger in you. - David Whyte Capricorn: You do not have to be good. You do not have to walk on your knees for a hundred miles through the desert, repenting. You only have to let the soft animal of your body love what it loves. Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mine. Meanwhile the world goes on. Meanwhile the sun and the clear pebbles of the rain are moving across the landscapes, over the prairies and the deep trees, the mountains and the rivers. Meanwhile the wild geese, high in the clean blue air, are heading home again. Whoever you are, no matter how lonely, the world offers itself to your imagination, calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting- over and over announcing your place in the family of things. - Mary Oliver Aquarius: Praying It doesn't have to be the blue iris, it could be weeds in a vacant lot, or a few small stones; just pay attention, then patch a few words together and don’t try to make them elaborate, this isn't a contest but the doorway into thanks, and a silence in which another voice may speak. - Mary Oliver Pisces: What To Do In Darkness Go slowly Consent to it But don't wallow in it Know it as a place of germination And growth Remember the light Take an outstretched hand if you find one Exercise unused senses Find the path by walking it Practice trust Watch for dawn - Marilyn McEntyre Did You Miss My *free* Embodied Chakra Class?! - What is embodiment and why does it matter so much? - Clarify exactly where you are disconnected from your first chakra. - Gather resources, tools and guidance for deeper body wisdom. - Strengthen your manifestation skills. - The one thing you need for lasting healing. - Identify and release blockages keeping you from fully embodying your full inner power. - Understand what your jyotish chart shares about your personal trauma and disconnection. LISTEN NOW FOR A LIMITED TIME ONLY This Week's Intention: Strengthen inner resources. Move what needs to be moved. Release pain, struggle and grief. Find your inner ground and stand firmly. 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. Join me for a *free* Creative Ritual class on Sunday, March 20th in honor of the full Moon, eclipse portal and Holi celebrations. Gather resources to increase your creative potential! Join the List 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?

Join the List 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.

Ready to start 2016 off with clarity and purpose? I am now booking April sessions. Let's connect! This waxing cycle coincides with Shivaratri and a total solar eclipse. As the Moon empties entirely, the connection to your inner landscape deepens. This is an opportunity to plant seeds of desire very intentionally. During the eclipse portal (March 8th to 23rd) your soil will be tilled, old roots will be dug up, rocks and debris will be removed. It's a time of clearing and cleaning- of preparation. Shivaratri begins on the 7th late in the evening, which is a time period that supports planting seeds of potential through the depth of silence. Shiva as destroyer, is at one with this awakened state of creativity. His role is to support your collapse into concentrated, focused alignment with the harmony of existence- that which is pure consciousness, deep, unaltered silence and awakening. This is where your creativity resides, your ability to manifest, create and transform- over and over again. Through the transcendence, you can easily touch this silence in its pure form. Shiva reminds us to use this silence to release, simplify and transform. From a silent and awakened state, you can plant the seeds of life more intentionally and powerfully. Use your deep inner silence for stirring your creative desires. As the full Moon and the lunar eclipse arrive on March 23rd, the fertility festival, Holi, will activate your silent seeds, helping them become more fully awakened with the creative wisdom of Nature. What are you creating for your powerful life? What is your vision? Let your imagination move you into being. The new Moon arrives March 8th at 17:55 PST, while Moon is in Aquarius and Purvabhadrapada nakshatra. The solar eclipse begins at 15:19 PST, continuing until 20:34 PST. The strongest time of the eclipse will occur at 17:59 PST. The eclipse will be visible in South/East Asia, North/West Australia, Pacific and Indian Ocean. Though this eclipse will not touch North America directly, the same rules apply to all during the eclipse. It's not advised to look at the eclipse directly, or to be outside during the eclipse. Stay indoors, meditate, eat lightly or fast, set intentions and say prayers. Use this time as the sacred, inward time that it is. Being outside during the eclipse leaves you vulnerable to absorbing extra "shadow" which is not ideal. Since eclipses represent and intensify the inner shadow, taking precautionary measures to avoid gathering more shadow, is important. During the eclipse portal (the two week period between solar and lunar eclipses) it is not recommended to start new projects, make big decisions or begin anything important. Wait until after the 23rd for this. Sun In Pisces Sun in Pisces instigates release and endings. As your inner light source moves to the final sign of the zodiac on March 13th at 22:24 PST, a sense of closure is initiated. This theme of doors closing, so others can open, is truly being triggered during this eclipse portal. The Sun in Pisces intensifies this awareness of endings and letting go. It's essential that this be a conscious process in order to maximize the results. As you allow doors to close, you are naturally creating the ability to open new doors simultaneously. Gains are yours as a result of this willingness. This is a time of deep feelings. Touch in to your internal waters with conviction as there is a powerful opportunity to expand your container of life and what you think is possible for yourself. Your relationship with your creativity, your feminine energy, will determine your success. Get empowered through your creative intelligence and open your horizons to more- more nourishment, support, relationships, community and thriving. More life force energy! Connecting and relating will be an essential part of this growth process. Clean up relationship issues, fears, worries and doubts that emerge around deservability. Do you really feel you can be happy with what arrives? That you can have nourishing relationships in your life? What healing and clean up is necessary within your body and spirit- in order for you to be more receptive to receiving what you want and need? It's time to take swift action and move mountains- without using force. This cycle triggers great healing, but you must be willing to look at your shadow and light equally. Gains come to those who are authentic about their obstacles, challenges, limiting beliefs and self-sabotage behaviors. Stepping into your power more fully will be determined by how courageously you lean into your shadow and darkness. Do you transform your bad habits, healing and growing as a result? Or do you continue to curse your own darkness and stay in its shadows? Right now, gathering support, resources and guidance to align with your healing process is essential. You will be supported if you ask. Reach out, connect, collaborate and communicate. Don't self isolate. This is a transformational time. Maximize the effects through physical embodiment and spiritual connection. Mercury In Pisces 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. The general trend for this cycle, however, is positive- offering new resources, support and wisdom- despite the mental body's debilitation. Let this sensitivity help you turn inward and bring your focus to subtleties. Meditate, contemplate, spend time in nature and use resources that help the mind stay calm, present and relaxed. Precision and exactness may not be your strength right now, nor fast acting awareness. This is an opportunity to go more slowly and find sacred pauses along the way. Can you find nourishment in the gentleness? Reverence for vulnerability and softness? Lean into your feminine center and honor her needs. She prefers your slow, steady steps, which allows you to languish in your creative intelligence. If you find yourself pushing, rushing or forcing, you will miss her messages and not receive her gifts. You must coax her gently, softly, with tenderness and care. Her wisdom will be found in your depths, tangled in your wild and untamed second chakra. Activate and energize this portal of creative energy. What are you manifesting with this wisdom? What guidance and support do you need for greater activation and awareness? Let your imagination stir and awaken you.

Join the List *Horoscopes are based on your Vedic (sidereal) rising sign. You can also check your Moon and Sun signs for further insight. Do the same with your Navamsa signs for further clarity. Do not use these horoscopes with your Western sign (Tropical) as there is likely no correlation. These horoscopes are meant to be used as a broad overview of the current transits and obviously do not address the specifics of an individual’s unique chart. Use these horoscopes to support your eclipse portal transformation: Aries: Gains come with your commitment to steady steps. Be resourceful and flexible with your efforts. Rigidity will not pay off. You are learning how to work with your power more effectively and honestly- yet the shadow is provoking issues with your awareness. Where are you stuck? In denial? Inattentive? Not listening to your gut wisdom? Attend to your children and your child-like sensibilities. Increase your play and pleasure- but make sure that your choices are actually nourishing. After the 18th, when Sun dips into your 12th house, it's time to slow down and take more pauses. Meditate, go on retreat, spend more time in bed. Use your alone time with intention. Once Mercury joins the Sun in Pisces on the 13th, the need for rest is even more vital. Listen to your mental and physical bodies diligently. Taurus: Career, home life and relationships are front and center right now. Confusion and uncertainties are rampant, with excitement and possibility close behind. Connect authentically and let relationships serve you and your dharmic path more intimately. What are you learning about your gifts? Your need to share them? Illusions in your heart are creating frustrations and a lack of clarity with your emotional body wisdom. Try to separate needs vs. wants. They are different. What do you truly need for deep nourishment? This is the need and this will serve you in more sustainable ways. Put your whole self into your work and use the wisdom of the four bodies- mental, emotional, physical and spiritual- to share in bigger ways. What is holding you back? Out of your greatness? Gemini: This is a time of healing and gathering more support. Where are you saying yes? Where are you saying no? Wisdom, resources and clarity for your path and purpose are arriving. Are you listening and moving towards your truth or hiding in the darkness? Your dharmic path is activated and enlivened, so pay attention to messages and resources arriving to support your progress. Creativity can be a resource for awakening your courage. Use your hands, the arts, writing and communication to invite in more change. Gather support from healers, guides, gurus and teachers. Align with relationships that bring you more support and nourishment. Find inner support and stability with this mirror. Who feels helpful an honors your being? Who does not? Cancer: Nourishment continues to be a theme of necessity for you. Do you know how to nourish yourself properly? What are you eating- through choices, environment and relationships? It's time to notice where you are disconnected, out of alignment with your own needs, not clear with boundaries. Your inner work right now is heavily impacted by your darkness, shadow and unconscious territory. With four planets in your 8th house until the 13th, looking under the surface is vital. Challenges are reminders that your choices need to shift. Ultimately, you are learning how to align with your empowerment more authentically, but first you must peel back some very old layers of illusion. Where can you let go more deeply? New doors will open if you are willing to be radical in your self-discovery and liberation process. Leo: Self and relationships are causing stops and starts, frustrations and confusion. Part of you says yes, but another other part of you says no. What is this conflict between your two halves? This is an opportunity to integrate polarities, parts of yourself that are misaligned or out of sync. Relationships bring the mirror of what needs to change and transform. This change process is effecting all four of your bodies- mental, emotional, physical and spiritual. As Sun dips into your 8th house on the 13th, transformations intensify. Look at your animal needs, vulnerability and your wild, inner terrain. Open to your feminine wisdom in new ways. Learn the art of deep surrender. Virgo: Healing arrives for all four bodies- mental, emotional, physical and spiritual. Lean into the messages and note what resources support your change process. Painful parts of your being are finally being released after many years of struggle, hardship and pain. Seek support and guidance for this process and be courageous with the letting go process. The stomach will be a vital part of the elimination process so find ways to encourage the release with diet, herbs, routine and emotional body release. You are creating space for more empowerment. How can you say yes more fully to this? Where are you diminishing your power and strength through actions and bad habits, old stories and wounds? Once the Sun moves to your seventh house on the 13th, relationships become a resource for this growth. Libra: Your power and gut wisdom are essential resources for growth and opening. Cut out and release foods, relationships, actions, choices and environments that diminish your power and clarity. Your intuition is trying to strengthen and push forth. Support this process with cleansing and cleaning up the residue in your life and behaviors. You are more powerful than you are currently aware of. How long will you choose to stay in the dark? How long will you choose to diminish your power? The possibility for deeper healing arrives after the 13th, when Sun dips into your 6th house. Ask for support and gather new resources for this process. Once Mercury lands in Pisces as well, both physical and mental bodies will be ready for transformation. Don't go backwards, make your direction clear. Scorpio: Your heart is being cracked open, touched with new wisdom and resources. Challenges and release are part of this deep purging process. As the light starts to touch the old wounds, notice your response. Lean in and listen more closely to the messages. How can you find balance with your opening and closing, a new harmony, a new dance? Take this wisdom into your work and life offerings. Let your wisdom be shared. The acknowledgement of your whole human being- light and dark, shadows and gifts- is a more authentic representation of who you are. Stay true to this authenticity. It may not be a smooth process at first. It may feel like four steps forward, five steps back for a bit, but trust you are learning these new steps and will find mastery. Sun in your 5th house on the 13th, begins a new relationship with your power and playfulness. Enjoy! Sagittarius: Get creatively courageous! Awaken your four bodies with creative activation and artistic resources. This will invite in more possibility, life force energy and dharmic alignment. Does it bring you joy? Are you excited to do it? Say yes more to these desires! Start releasing more of the obligations you put upon yourself as these are old stories that are keeping you in the dark, robbing you of increased power. How do you use your energy? The lack of clarity about your path and purpose is a misuse of your power. Notice where you need to make some adjustments. Say no more, let go of actions, choices, environments and relationships that don't serve your nourishment. Seek support, guidance and resources for deepening your dharmic wisdom. Capricorn: Vocalize and express. Clarify your self expression and use it as a resource for deeper nourishment and support. Food and eating habits are a big part of your nourishment process right now. Where are you numbing, suppressing or avoiding your feelings with what you ingest? Looking at your wounds and suppressed darkness is vital for creating more clarity about what you really need. Be radical in your investigation. Gather new resources and tools, guidance and support for your transformation process. Do not self-isolate. You are in a radical change process- from inside to outside. Touch your depths and find ways to come up for air. How can your creative intelligence be a resource for deeper inner connection and healing? Aquarius: Relationships are still a source of growth and confusion, causing deep transformation within. Your full being is getting restructured- mental, emotional, physical and spiritual bodies are getting cracked open for greater light and wisdom to arrive. Are you too focused on the pain to notice the gifts? How are you saying yes to your own power and strength? Where are you saying no? It's vital that you understand this release process is ultimately about you increasing your level of empowerment and inner strength, not about destroying yourself. Find ways to land and ground, stabilize and get embodied. Find your anchor within the physical. As Sun moves to your second house on the 13th, it's time to strengthen your voice, expression and deepen the nourishment you are receiving. As you release, you will create more space to receive what will truly feed you. Pisces: Liberation and healing are vital right now. As you radically step into release and letting go, more space will open and be available for your dharmic path and purpose. Identify your struggles and stories as these are vital for your dharmic work and will help you share your gifts more authentically. All four bodies- mental, emotional, physical and spiritual- are finding a sense of closure and release. This may require you to rest and meditate more right now. Make time for being alone and tending to your own self care needs diligently. Ask for support, guidance and new resources in order to speed up this change process and make it more smooth. Rest and integration are valuable for you right now in order to truly make the many transformations become sustainable. Listen to your gut intelligence, seek wisdom from teachers, gurus and guides, step into your light more fully.
