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 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?

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?

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.

*All timing is Mountain Standard Time Zone

Moon is waning- post new Moon, Solar Eclipse and Shivaratri. There has been a deep emptying out of the emotional body over the past few days. As the door swings shut behind you, what are you stepping towards? What are you preparing for in the days and weeks ahead?

What needs are you noticing with new exactness? A new cycle is taking place as Moon arrives in Aries midweek. Renewal and new possibilities arrive. Be clear about what you need and what your next steps are.

Two important transits also take place this week. The first one is Karma Yogi, Mars, shifting to Aries on March 1st, then Venus retrogrades late in the week.

As Moon continues to transit Aquarius, with Sun, Mercury and Ketu, all receive gaze from Saturn. There is contraction, compression and focus requested as the emotional body releases and transforms. Purvabhadra nakshatra requests balance. There is great potential available with this star, but not a great deal of action. Instead, use this time to hone and clarify your steps. Action comes next. Around noon, Moon moves to the final sign of the zodiac, Pisces, joining Mars and exalted Venus here. Retrograde Jupiter gives his gaze. Relationships are finding a new sense of order and alignment. What are you noticing about your inner relationship, your relationship with self? With your inner balance and harmony? Early evening, Moon moves to Uttarabhadra nakshatra.

Depth and inner awareness continues to arrive today. What are you noticing? What needs are surfacing? Track your emotional body diligently as this will help you identify deeper needs and underlying issues. Where are you dissatisfied? What is this telling you about what you really need for more nourishment? Late afternoon, Moon shifts to Revati nakshatra, the final star of the zodiac. Pushan brings resources and support for your journey. As on of the 12 Adityas, his role is to provide material support- specifically through nourishment, prosperity, increase and flourishing. He ensure that you will have what you need as you walk your path. Get clear on the resources you need so that he can show up to support you. Without clarity, you will not be able to receive fully.

Chaturthi

Moon continues through Pisces the first half of the day, and will be in exact degrees with Mars midday and early afternoon. Venus, Mars and Moon create intense passion, power and storm energy- especially within the emotional body. Expect relationships to be impacted. Where are you feeling agitated, aggressive, angry and overly heated? Why? What are your emotions telling you about what you need? How can you be more clear about these needs and express them with tact and compassion? Mars leaps into Aries early afternoon, followed by the Moon shortly thereafter. Rahu now gives his shadowy gaze to both planets. The emotions are going through a purification process right now. Let the anger out. Purge the fire. Release the heat. On the other side of this release is clarity if you create space for it.

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.

Attend to your needs diligently and lean into your emotional body intelligence. What is it telling you about your physical body needs? How can you help yourself ground more fully today? Anger is still showing up to help you purify and clarify your needs. Anger shows you where you know you deserve better, and also tells you that some part of you is ready to receive it.

Moon is moving through its favorite sign today, earthy Taurus, which stabilizes the ungrounded, always moving, nature of the Moon. Retrograde Jupiter gives his gaze, offering expansion, wisdom and new awareness. Late morning, Moon arrives in the creative, resourceful and abundant star, Rohini. This is Lord Brahmas star and by default includes his wife Goddess Saraswati. Together this dynamic pair beautifully expresses creative intelligence and the manifestation process.

What are you birthing into being today? What ideas, visions and truths are awakening into form?

Venus begins her retrograde dance today which lasts from March 4th to April 15th- rendering her nourishing effects debilitated.

*All timing is Mountain Standard Time Zone

The Moon continues to wane this week as it nears Amavasya (emptiness) on Sunday. This is also the final week of the eclipse portal, signifying closer, endings and harvesting of shadows and illusions. Look for the wisdom, the silver linings and the deeper threads that bring meaning to your lessons. The annual solar eclipse also takes place with this week's new Moon. Themes with the masculine surface yet again. Are you noticing themes of support, stability and safety arriving? Are stories being triggered that correlate to the masculine, father and your relationship with power? Lean in and notice what is being cracked open. As Sun conjuncts Ketu exactly this week, a powerful restructuring is taking place within the masculine. How will you re-assemble the pieces and rebuild?

Moon in 10th tithi
Dashami

The mind continues to strengthen today. Channel this power effectively or it will over-power you. Get clear on stories, illusions, perceptions and parts of your personal mythology that are keeping you stuck, in lack and unproductive. After noon, Moon leaps into the gandanta between Scorpio and Sagittarius, landing in Mula nakshatra, and in conjunction with Saturn. Rahu gives his gaze. There's a compression, a tightening and an overwhelm that arrives. This increases the chaos and uncertainty within. Notice how the chaos derails you, keeps you from taking effective, empowered action. Stay out of the mud and land closer to your body wisdom, your inner truth. Gather support, guidance, resources in order to help you strengthen your own inner wisdom. Don't succumb to the chaos, use it, channel it, harness that power in order to build momentum.

Tuesday, February 21st
Moon in 11th tithi
Ekadashi

Mula begins the day, which brings confusion and uncertainty on some level. What are you noticing? Where does the chaos land within you? What is your response to it? What parts of you are resisting? Resistance causes the chaos. Best to lean in, surrender, and acknowledge the tension. Turning your back on the chaos and confusion will only strengthen it. Find the courage to lean in and listen to the storm. Pull up the weeds that are strangling your clarity, purpose and power. Early afternoon, Moon shifts to Purvashada, and Apas brings the water. This may come in the form of tears, waves of emotion, cleansing from the rain or snow, or even being in or near water. Allow the cleansing to take place. Water the seeds of desire you are planting. Get courageous about what you ask for. Where are you holding back and playing small?

Sun and Ketu are in exact conjunction today. He'll be dropping through the tail of the serpent in the coming days, getting dismembered in the process. The masculine within is getting completely restructured right now. Gather resources for more support, stability and grounding.

Stay aligned with the Laws of Nature, right action. Your heart will lead the way.

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.

The Vishva Devas continue to offer support, resources and alignment with truth today. Just as Thursday begins, Moon shifts to Capricorn, and a request for tangible resources, structure and dharma arrives. When you know your truth, you are aligned with your purpose, your dharma. Any disconnection from your inner wisdom is adharma, that which is against dharma, your soul's path. Through self-generated sin, adharma is perpetuated. The medicine is to return, again and again, to the Self, the soul, the Atman. The Vishva Devas help you stay true to yourself and your inner knowing, while also aligning with your power and purpose. Stay connected. Jupiter gives his gaze to the Moon today, providing extra support. Around noon, Moon moves to the sacred nakshatra, Abhijit.

Moon transits Capricorn and Sravana nakshatra, Vishnu's domain. As the sustainer of dharma and right-action, Vishnu brings resources, support and wisdom that uphold your path, purpose and truth. He is all-pervasive and is often affiliated with Akasha (space) for that reason. Dharmic wisdom comes through your inner knowing, the wisdom within. Are you listening to what is arriving? Or is there too much noise, distraction, chaos, Adharma in your way? Don't miss the messages. Don't skip this important step. Dharma is the only reason your soul incarnated. It's time to align and shine! Moon enters Dhanishta nakshatra early evening. The light arrives. Shine your brightest and let your light be seen and heard. Where are you keeping yourself in the dark? Where are you resisting your power and purpose?

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.

Moon travels through Dhanishta nakshatra, enlivening the Vasu Devas, the bearers of light (jyoti). Late morning, Moon arrives in Aquarius, joining Mercury, Sun and Ketu here. The Moon is almost completely empty and Sun is poised for its annual eclipse. Mind, body, soul and emotions are getting cut, restructured, and severed. Deeper reconnection and a new sense of alignment will be required in the coming day as the tail of the serpent demands deep, inner change. The Vasu Devas bring visibility, brightness, being seen and heard- because of the light they provide. Through their brightness, we are seen, acknowledged, witnessed and recognized. Their light shines on your gifts, your dharma, and supports your ability to step into your power more fully. From this place of visibility and alignment, resources and support arrive.

Amavasya to Pratipad

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 right now. A release is taking place. 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 with inner and outer needs.

The annual solar eclipse begins at 05:10 am MST, peaks at 07:58 am MST and completes at 10:35 am MST. The eclipse will not be visible from North America, but South/West Africa, Much of South America, Pacific, Atlantic, Indian Ocean, Antarctica will receive the shadow. Nonetheless, in the Vedic tradition, it is never advised to be outside during the eclipse. It is considered a time to meditate, fast, clarify, purify and purge the shadow. Use your Sunday morning for spiritual practices that move you closer to silence, inner listening and your wisdom within. Clarify intentions for the coming cycle as we near the fertility of Holi and Navaratri. What seeds are you planting? What do you wish to take root in the coming months? Attend to your garden now and pull of the weeds.

We are inside the eclipse portal, which lasts until the solar eclipse on February 26th. This delicate two week period between lunar and solar eclipses requires a softening and leaning in to the emotional body. With Venus exalted right now, feelings are extra strong anyway. What are you noticing about your emotions, needs and beliefs? What stories are keeping you in the dark, in the shadows?

Sun has just shifted to Aquarius as of Sunday the 12th. Sun moves to Aquarius at 07:46 am MST, joining the restructuring planet, Ketu here.

Some will feel the power of change in positive ways, others will feel the sting of negative change. This is dependent upon your orientation to challenges and resources. During this eclipse portal, it is particularly important to look closely at your emotional body and the feelings surfacing. If you're not being fully honest with yourself, honest about all the emotions you've been stuffing into the dark corners of your being, you'll be facing them more acutely right now.

This is especially important as Moon moves into Anuradha nakshatra next. The capacity to which you ask for support and make connections, will determine your success and nourishment in the coming days and weeks.

* All timing used is Mountain Standard Time.

Moon is waxing this week, culminating in a Cancer full Moon on Friday that begins a delicate two week eclipse cycle. The penumbral lunar eclipse triggers increased emotional body waves, instigates fears and delusions and will require more compassion and gentleness towards ourselves and others. Sun also shifts into Aquarius on Sunday, sparking a conjunction with "the tail of the serpent", Ketu. There's a cutting taking place within the soul. What needs to be extracted and removed for more gentleness and ease?

The week begins as Jupiter begins his retrograde motion back through Virgo. Jupiter will be retrograde until June 9th. Retrograde planets increase in strength, intensifying their indications. This transit of Jupiter through Virgo, is provoking the need for clarity, certainty, purpose and alignment with your highest ideals. There is a certain naivety and innocence that is available- for better or worse. Read more about Jupiter and Virgo and its impact on your rising sign.

What happens when your dharma is never offered to this world? When it is never fully awakened within you? When you refuse to change, heal and transform, so that you can rise and shine? When you never even step onto your dharmic path!

This is called Adharma (that which is against dharma). It is the root cause of all suffering in this world. It is pain that is self-induced. Don't neglect your path. Don't avoid your inner wisdom. Don't negate your power, purpose and passion.

Moon in 11th tithi
Ekadashi

Moon lands in Mrigashirsha nakshatra just as Monday begins. This is the Moon's constellation, which enlivens Soma, the divine nectar of life. There is growth, ojas and immense creative power available in this portion of the sky. Through extending and expanding your reach, you will find the nourishment, the resources and resilience to thrive, succeed and become deeply nourished. Moon has entered its mulitrikona degrees, which still expresses strength and power from the emotional body. Jupiter expands and increases this feeling level. Where are you playing small and resisting the nourishment of life? What part of you is too afraid to take a powerful leap forward? Look carefully and notice where you are holding yourself back. Reach towards resources that support your full potential, your deepest nourishment. Early evening, Moon shifts to Gemini. Surrender to your creative spirit.

Tuesday, February 7th
Moon in 12th tithi
Dvadashi

Mars, Ketu and Saturn give their gaze to the Moon as she transits Gemini. Just as the day begins, Moon shifts into Rudra's domain, the storm god. This star is notorious for powerful explosive energy which must be channeled for effective results. There is usually a build up of emotion that leads to an outburst, or purge. Emotional release is inevitable, but requires that you lean into your inner resistance. Where are you missing your emotional body wisdom? What parts of yourself are being repressed and avoided? If you aren't in touch with you're emotions, you will be missing an important relationship with your power. Just before midnight, Moon lands in Punarvasu. Take a deep breath.

Wednesday, February 8th
Moon in 13th tithi
Trayodashi

As Moon moves through Punarvasu nakshatra, the mother of all goodness and resources, Aditi, arrives with her nourishment and support. It doesn't always come in tangible goods, but through wisdom, understanding and acceptance. She honors you with resources like a mother to a child, providing comfort and ease. In order to harvest the wisdom of the day, it will require a retracing of your steps. Re-visit some old ground in order to gather the riches. Early evening, Moon shifts to its own sign, Cancer, while Mercury and Sun give their gaze. It's time to get clear, focused and strategic. Where do you feel the lack of nourishment? Where are you resistant to getting your needs met? Just before midnight, Moon arrives in Pushya. Nourishment is in abundant supply. Are you able to receive it?

Thursday, February 9th
Moon in 14th
Chaturdashi

Moon moves through the nourishing star, Pushya, today. There is support and guidance, wisdom and deep holding, for those who are in right-relationship with Saturn (ruler of this constellation). As painful and grief inducing as Saturn is, he also upholds structure, support and the necessary containment for safety and security. He provides vital wisdom from the body if you slow down enough to listen. Your job is to lean in and get closer to your inner wisdom. Ask the body to share its secrets with you. This is the first step in getting your needs met more consistently. Late evening, Moon switches to Sarpa's domain, Ashlesha nakshatra. Deception and illusion are at play as the serpent energy and trickster, Sarpa, arrives in conjunction with a penumbral lunar eclipse. You create your own reality. Cut away the uncertainty and what do you have left?

Friday, February 10th
Moon in 15th tithi
Purnima

It's a full Moon day with an eclipse portal opening. Moon transits Cancer and Ashlesha nakshatra, the domain of Sarpa, the mystical serpent. A rare triple impact full Moon takes place on February 10th. This Cancer full Moon occurs with a penumbral lunar eclipse and a comet sighting shortly after, though barely visible from earth. Three cosmic events open the delicate two week eclipse portal.

The full Moon occurs at 17:34 MST while Moon is at the edge of Cancer and Ashlesha nakshatra (using Mean node calculations). In the Vedic calendar, this is considered Magha Purnima, which is connected to Leo and the ancestors. The penumbral lunar eclipse begins to emerge at 15:34 MST, reaching its climax at 17:43 MST, and finding completion at 19:53 MST. This eclipse will cast its shadow on Europe, Much of Asia, Africa, North America, South America, Pacific, Atlantic, Indian Ocean, Arctic, Antarctica.

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. This 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.

Late evening, Moon crosses the tricky gandanta (gap) between water and fire, landing in Leo and Magha nakshatra. The ancestors are enlivened. Pay your respects.

Saturday, February 11th
Moon in 1st tithi
Pratipad

Moon transits the gandanta constellation Magha today, colliding with shadow node Rahu. Ketu gives his gaze and restructuring. The impact of the eclipse is in full effect. Ruling planet of Leo, Sun, is now at the edge of Capricorn. Sun will drop out of the tail of the Serpent in the coming week as he moves through Aquarius- provoking soul transformation. Today, make your ancestors a priority. What is emerging from your lineage as a reminder right now? Pay close attention to your personal mythology. Old shadows and illusions are emerging right now- especially what was handed to you by your ancestors. It's time to release and let go of these old patterns- for you and for them.

Late evening, Moon arrives in Purvaphalguni nakshatra and Bhaga brings his comforts and resources- depending on your relationship with him. Put your creative powers to good use! It's time to upgrade your self and your life.

Sunday, February 12th
Moon in 2nd tithi
Dvitiya

Moon moves through Leo and Purvaphalguni nakshatra today. Bhaga supports resources, comforts, sexuality and sensuality. He enlivens the Shakti, life force quality of life with creativity. Your creative intelligence is your highest power. Understanding how to take your shadow and turn it into light is creative intelligence in action. People who don't have this skill, and lack the ability to transform challenges into resources, are unable to increase life force, vitality, abundance and nourishment. Are you stuck in perpetual cycles of lack? It's time for an upgrade! You'll need specific resources, support, guidance and tools to learn this skill of harnessing your creative power. This is a powerful process for creating lasting, life change, using your immense creative power.

Late evening, Moon shifts to the latter half of the Phalguni constellation, Uttara. This is a Sun ruled constellation, which supports sustainable support from the ancestors. Sun has just shifted to Aquarius, which means that it is delicate and in weak degrees. Don't push, rest and listen closely to your soul's wisdom.

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.

Moon in 3rd tithi
Tritiya

Just as Monday begins, Moon shifts to Virgo, joining retrograde Jupiter here. Mercury and Venus give their direct gaze, while Saturn offers a stern stare from Sagittarius. Plant your seeds and visions, but make sure you back them up with clear action steps. Moon transits Uttaraphalguni the majority of the day. Sun and the ancestors require your focus and attention. Relationships and channeling your creative life force energy effectively, will appease the ancestral spirits. Don't lose sight of your goals, visions and highest purpose. Late evening, Moon shifts to Hasta. The light is dawning and Savitr arrives to support you. Face your shadows so the light can emerge.

* All timing used is Mountain Standard Time.

The week begins as Moon shifts into the third tithi (phase) of the waxing bright half, called Tritiya. Lord Vishnu rules this phase of the Moon and invites us to align with dharma, right action and that which sustains our soul's purpose, our highest truth. Saturn has just landed in Mula nakshatra and Sagittarius for the majority of 2017, causing adharma (that which is against dharma) as well as increased chaos, calamity and uncertainty. This is a time of great unmasking, a powerful opportunity for awakening from the illusions and shadows that keep you in the dark. Don't play small. Rise to the occasion! Stay close to your body and breath. Read more about Saturn in Sagittarius.

This week, Mercury moves to Capricorn and Jupiter will retrograde Changes for the mind and spirit arrive.

Monday, January 30th
Moon in 3rd tithi
Tritiya

Late morning on Monday, Moon shifts to Purvabhadra nakshatra, where Ajaikapada brings preparatory steps for awakening and removing veils of ignorance. There is a poignant one pointed focus with this constellation. A focus and determination to meet the mark, yet often without the action necessary to achieve the goal. This is a preparatory nakshatra, more than an achievement oriented constellation. There is a need for preservation, holding, attending to, and especially pausing in stillness. Today is a day of preparation. Find clarity about your needs and next steps. What action still need to be taken in order for your success, in order for your desired outcome to be achieved? Pause, lean in and listen.

Tuesday, January 31st
Moon in 4th tithi
Chaturthi

Just before noon, Moon arrives in UttaraBhadra nakshatra, the domain of Ahirbudhnya, the serpent of the deep, unconscious inner terrain. As a naga (a positive serpent), Ahirbudhnya supports deep dives into your darkness, bringing pearls of wisdom to the surface, to your conscious mind. Moon conjuncts Mars and Venus, receiving direct gaze from Jupiter who is currently at the very edge of Virgo. What are you learning about release and letting go? What emotions are holding you back, keeping you frozen and locked in old patterns and behaviors? Look closely at your feelings, as they lead the way to uncovering parts of yourself that are stuck, resistant or avoiding change.

Wednesday, February 1st
Moon in 5th tithi
Panchami

Late morning, Moon shifts to the final nakshatra of the zodiac, Revati. This is Pushan's domain, who nourishes and provides resources for long journeys. He protects, guides and helps you align with your right path, so that you can gather the necessary resources and support along the way. Mercury rules this constellation, giving a nod to the mental body, the mind. Working diligently with the mind is vital for being in right relationship with your receptivity, your ability to receive. Where are you denying or resisting more nourishment? What stories are keeping you stuck in lack? If you want to receive the nourishment, you must clear away your resistance to the receiving.

Jupiter is at the very edge of Virgo right now, a poignant place for intensifying the attributes of Virgo and the expression of Jupiter. The 29th degree always increases the impact and effects of the sign and planet placed there. Right now, Jupiter (planet of wisdom and guidance) is intensifying Virgo's need for order, discipline, clarity and focus. Lack of clarity and certainty is challenging and overwhelming. With the chaos being provoked by Saturn in Sagittarius right now, there are ample reasons to feel ungrounded and imbalanced. For now, continue to align with your inner truth. Where do you feel this truth in your body? Listen for messages.

Thursday, February 2nd
Moon in 6th tithi
Sashthi

Early Thursday morning, Moon leaps through the gandanta (the gap) between endings and beginnings- Pisces to Aries. Gandantas are karmic knots that require uprooting and releasing parts of yourself that are stuck, stagnant and need to be released. The three gandantas of the zodiac often bring turmoil and chaos as parts of you are transformed, released and awakening to change. This is an ending and a beginning. What are you leaving behind? What are you opening to? As Moon arrives in Aries, it enters Ashwini nakshatra, a portion of the sky that supports healing and rejuvenation. Attend to self care diligently today. What resources are supporting you? How can you ground, land and establish more inner resiliency?

Friday, February 3rd
Moon in 7th tithi
Saptami

Mid morning, Moon moves to the second constellation of the zodiac, Bharani. Yama brings his transformation and restraint to this domain of the heavens. He requires clarity, order and simplicity, while also offering immense strength and power. The symbol of this nakshatra is the yoni, suggesting both vulnerability and incredible creative potential, as well as pleasure and vitality. Clarify your desires today, then work backwards. What do you need to do in order to activate and align with your highest power, purpose and potential? What is in the way of your success? Release and let go of anything in your way. Get clear on your action steps and move forward.

Just as Friday begins, Mercury lands in Capricorn at 00:33 MST, joining Sun here. Both receive gaze from Jupiter, which offers a soft landing and increased wisdom during the transit. Mind sharpens, as Mercury leaves the gaze of Rahu. This cycle presents and opportunity for expanding the heart, while also finding strength and clarity with your needs, purpose and inner awareness. Cut away the excess, get laser focused on your needs and desires. Notice where you are allowing yourself to get distracted and sabotage your success. You'll need clear action steps in this cycle in order to maximize the potency and power of it. What needs to be clarified in order for you to succeed? The chaos and overwhelm is a choice. When you decide to get really clear and align with your inner order, you will also find your inner truth. Your only job is to honor this truth arriving and support it with clear, focused actions steps.

Moon in 8th tithi
Ashtami

Mid morning, Moon shifts to Krittika nakshatra, which aligns with Agni, the fire of life. Agni brings cutting, clarifying and purification through burning. There is heat in the process of change and transformation, which supports the alchemy process. Just after noon, Moon shifts into its exaltation sign, Taurus, becoming exalted. Waves of emotion are high, feelings intensify, requesting you to change and transform from the emotional body. Jupiter gives his gaze to the Moon, expanding and swelling the feelings arriving. What are you noticing within your emotional body? What emotions are rising to the surface in order for you to look more closely? What needs to be cleared, transformed and released? Allow the waves to come and let the purge take place. Then find the calm, your grounding on the other side.

Sunday, February 5th
Moon in 9th tithi
Navami

Sunday morning, Moon moves to Rohini nakshatra, the powerfully creative star with immense potential for manifestation. Lord Brahma rules this domain of the sky and by default goddess Saraswati is awakened here as well. Both the masculine and feminine principles of creativity, manifestation and inner wisdom, together, god and goddess create the perfect blend of inner potential. From this potential, all possibilities arrive. Align with your Creative Intelligence, your inner spark of Shakti. Allow yourself to shine, be seen and thrive. What are your greatest desires, your most potent potential? What is your soul's truth? Take steps today that help you succeed. What is blocking your immense creative potential? What is keeping you from fully aligning with your purest essence, your life force energy? Why play small, when all possibilities are available and within your reach? All that is standing in your way is you.

Monday, February 6th
Moon in 10th tithi
Dashami

Moon lands in Mrigashirsha nakshatra just as Monday begins. This is the Moon's constellation, which enlivens Soma, the divine nectar of life. There is growth, ojas and immense creative power available in this portion of the sky. Through extending and expanding your reach, you will find the nourishment, the resources and resilience to thrive, succeed and become deeply nourished. Moon has entered its mulitrikona degrees, which still expresses strength and power from the emotional body. Jupiter expands and increases this feeling level. Where are you playing small and resisting the nourishment of life? What part of you is too afraid to take a powerful leap forward? Look carefully and notice where you are holding yourself back. Reach towards resources that support your full potential, your deepest nourishment.

Just before midnight, Jupiter begins his retrograde motion back through Virgo. Jupiter will be retrograde until June 9th. Retrograde planets increase in strength, intensifying their indications. This transit of Jupiter through Virgo, is provoking the need for clarity, certainty, purpose and alignment with your highest ideals. There is a certain naivety and innocence that is available- for better or worse. Read more about Jupiter and Virgo and its impact on your rising sign.

This is a new Moon week, supporting an inward pull and introspection. New Moon is in Capricorn and Sravana nakshatra, the domain of Vishnu and dharma- maintenance of the universal order. Take time to pause and land within. What shifts are you noticing on the deeper levels of your being? Move closer to your inner awareness and listen to your soul’s yearning. There is a calling within getting louder. This is your truth enlivening. But if you don’t pause, you’ll miss the wisdom arriving.

The powerful shift of Saturn into Sagittarius takes place this week. Get the details about this chaotic transformation. As Venus moves to Pisces just after the new Moon, a cycle of immense life force energy arrives. How do you channel this flow? Don’t misuse this divine feminine strength. Let it guide you towards your destiny. Listen to my podcast about this upcoming transit and its impact on your relationships, money and comfort.

Monday, January 23rd
Moon in 12th tithi
Dvadasi

Just as Monday arrives, Moon moves to Jyeshtha nakshatra, Indras portion of the sky. There is force, strength and power here- especially connected to the mind. Moon conjuncts exactly with Saturn late evening, instigating deeper, more painful emotions. Are you bypassing this or leaning closer? Let your body wisdom hold you as you surf the waves. Meditation will soften the mind today, while physical body movement will support emotional release. As the king of the gods, Indra supports alignment with dharma and right action. Where are you holding yourself back? What inner truths are you resisting? Why might you refuse to activate your power and purpose? Courageously lean into your fear and listen carefully.

Sun shifts to Sravana nakshatra today, enlivening Vishnu, the sustaining force of the universe. Vishnu also rules over dharma as a result. Dharma maintains universal order, and insures right action. The light of the soul (the Sun) is shining upon your dharmic purpose in the coming days. Pay attention to the inner messages coming and be sure to follow along with my Dharma Awakening Series. Are you on my newsletter list?

Tuesday, January 24th
Moon in 12th tithi
Dvadasi

Early morning, Moon crosses the tricky gandanta (junction point) between Scorpio (water) and Sagittarius (fire). A cleansing, charring, burning away of the emotional body is taking place. This junction point is defined by uprooting and bundling up elements of the psycho-emotional bodies and finding a transformation and release in the process. This is a chaotic experience, as change often initiates. Go slow and find your grounding cord. Stay rooted in the body so that no matter what comes towards you, there is presence, stability and resiliency.

Mars shifts to Uttarbhadara pada today, signaling a new willingness to dive deeper into into the unconscious and subconscious territories within. Take action steps that move you closer to your inner awareness and help you release stuck, unconscious programming.

Wednesday, January 25th
Moon in 13th tithi
Trayodasi

Moon shifts to Purvashada mid morning, moving to a Venus ruled nakshatra. There's clean up to do today with relationships- the relationship with yourself and others. Venus is currently at the edge of Aquarius and will leave conjunction with Ketu later this week as she shifts into her exaltation sign, Pisces for the coming four months. There's a release and restructuring taking place right now with all things Venus. This impacts relationships, health, money and the feminine. Apas, the water goddess, brings cleansing and purification for the process today. Sweat, cry, spend time in water or near it. What needs to be cleaned up so you can move forward more fully?

Thursday, January 26th
Moon in 14th tithi
Chaturdasi

Late morning, Moon arrives in the latter half of the Ashada constellation, UttarAshada. This is the domain of the all gods- the Vishva Devas. This star brings right action and right conduct, as well as an alignment with dharma- one's life purpose. Saturn can negate the positive effect of your dharmic path, enlivening your self-induced karmas and keeping you from your dharmic purpose (adharma). This is also referred to as self created sin in the Vedic tradition- as nothing is more sinful than going against your soul's destiny and purpose for being alive.

Today, as Saturn shifts into Sagittarius and the adharma inducing constellation, Mula, it is vital to remember your soul's purpose, your journey back to Self. There will be many obstacles to overcome in the months ahead- testing your strength and resolve. Now is the time to align with your power,  purpose and inner strength. Now is the time to gather resources, guidance and support for your dharmic path.

Be sure to follow along with my *free* Dharma Awakening Series by joining my newsletter. I'm sharing ample resources, support and guidance right now to help you align with your soul's purpose.

Did you miss my *free* Dharma Class?! Discover how to awaken your path, purpose and inner knowing + resources for using your jyotish chart as a powerful resource for dharmic awakening. Join my newsletter for the details.

Saturn shifts to Sagittarius at 02:55 am MST, and into Mula nakshastra, where he will be transiting the majority of 2017. This is a powerful re-structuring transit. As the planet of grief moves through the star notorious for adharma (that which is against dharma), it is imperative to stay close to resources, support and guidance that will help you stay true to your inner wisdom, your dharma and life path. It will be easy and tempting to succumb to fear and anxiety with this transit. It will provoke challenges and discomfort that might make you lose hope, trust or certainty in your inner light, your inner truth. Through facing your fear directly, using it as a resource for deep inner growth and transformation, you can awaken in very spiritual and empowering ways in the coming months. This transit of Saturn in Mula combination can bring great awakening, but only through your diligence, willingness and consistently showing up for your inner wisdom. This process will take your resolve. You must show up for yourself and others repeatedly in order to harvest the power of this process. What is your highest truth? What intentions are you aligning with right now? What is your heart and soul longing to bring forth into this one precious life?

Friday, January 27th
Moon in 15th tithi
Amavasya

Late morning, Moon moves to Sravana nakshatra, joining Sun here in this portion of the sky, inviting in a new Moon. This domain (pada) is ruled by Vishnu, the sustaining force of the universe. As a result, he also upholds dharma, right action, the soul's purpose. Vishnu is likened to Akasha, space, as he exists everywhere. Vishnu maintains and upholds the intelligence of the Universe, thus awakening every being to its full potential, truth and light. Vishnu supports your dharmic path and your awakening to this inner wisdom. Align with Vishnu and you are aligning with dharma.

At 07:21 am, 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 3rd 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. Venus and Mars will be conjunct until March 1st, sparking heat, passion and tenacity with your inner creativity, relationships and finances. Clarify your needs and intentions and watch for explosive, overly idealistic pursuits. Dream big, but be sure to put your dreams into action with concrete steps and goals or you'll be wasting the potency of this cycle.

Listen to my podcast about Exalted Venus to understand the impact on you personally

New Moon occurs at 17:07 MST, while Moon is in Capricorn and Sravana nakshatra. Jupiter gives his expansive and nourishing gaze. Saturn has just moved to Sagittarius and the chaos inducing nakshatra, Mula. There is nourishment available in the coming cycle, but not without ample digging, upheaval and release of unconscious and subconscious parts of yourself. Relationships are at the forefront of this process, sparking deep renewal and potential.

Through wisdom and knowledge, and the courage to change, more nourishment is possible. There is ample support and guidance available to you right now. Are you receiving it? Are you allowing the resources to penetrate your fears, resistance and avoidant behaviors? These are the places that refuse to change. It is your own fear to change, that is keeping you from the very nourishment you seek. This is a powerful time to start shifting towards the light. Not through by-passing and negating the dark, but by looking directly at your own darkness and attending to it head on.

Moon in 1st tithi
Pratipad

On the heels of two transits (one major) and the new Moon, Saturday brings a shift of Moon into Dhanishta nakshatra late morning. This portion of the sky is ruled by the Vasu Devas. The Vasus desire shining, light, illumination and to be seen, witnessed and acknowledged for this light. They support resources that bring wealth, visibility and awakening- especially through creativity, music, wealth and fame. The Vasu's are said to have originated jyoti (light) and thus jyotish (the study of light), allowing you to awaken through your inner light, the light of the soul. What can you do today to align with your highest truth- your power and purpose? Shine the light on your inner darkness. Wake up! Step powerfully towards your need to be seen, heard, witnessed and recognized for your pure brilliance. The world is waiting for you. Just before midnight, Moon moves to Aquarius, joining Ketu here. Cutting, release and restructuring arrive for the emotional body. Let go.

Sunday, January 29th
Moon in 2nd tithi
Dvitiya

Moon transits Aquarius, moving into Satabisha nakshatra just before noon. As Moon shifts to Varuna's domain, he also joins Ketu in this nakshatra as well- both receive gaze from Rahu and Saturn. Storm energy is touching the emotional body today. How will you use this power? A tight conjunction between the emotional body and the planet of moksha (liberation) takes place today, while Moon also receives the shadowed gaze of Rahu and the grief inducing stare of Saturn. There is a release, restructuring and inner change happening within your emotional body today, while stormy weather may be instigated. Channel this power into creativity, movement and powerful action steps. Take time to attend to your emotions diligently and let them release through tears, yelling, singing, etc. Take accountability for your feelings and move them. Varuna is the all-seeing, all-knowing god with a thousand eyes. Are you being too critical today? Find softness and compassion for yourself and others.

Monday, January 30th
Moon in 3rd tithi
Tritiya

Late morning on Monday, Moon shifts to Purvabhadra nakshatra, where Ajaikapada brings preparatory steps for awakening and removing veils of ignorance. There is a poignant one pointed focus with this constellation. A focus and determination to meet the mark, yet often without the action necessary to achieve the goal. This is a preparatory nakshatra, more than an achievement oriented constellation. There is a need for preservation, holding, attending to, and especially pausing in stillness. Today is a day of preparation. Find clarity about your needs and next steps. What action still need to be taken in order for your success, in order for your desired outcome to be achieved? Pause, lean in and listen.

Moon is waning this week, starting out in the 4th tithi (phase), ending the week in the 11th tithi, nearing emptiness. This week Mars finally shifts out of conjunction with Ketu and into Pisces, completing the Kala Sarpa yoga effects of the past many months. Extremes begin to find their integration and harmony now. Keep finding ways to align with your polarities and support their union. This is an ongoing dance, but the unique combination of planets we've experienced recently won't come again. Let the lessons find their way into completion for now.

Two significant planets, Saturn and Jupiter, are in sandhi degrees right now- meaning they are in gaps between signs and in the 28 and 29 degree range (each sign spans 30 degrees in full). Saturn is preparing to shift into Sagittarius for the majority of 2017, causing immense changes, turmoil and transformation. Planets increase in power and strength as they leave a sign. The portal between water and fire is open, as is the gandanta (gap) that signifies challenges, chaos and uprooting. The coming year of Saturn in Sagittarius is upon us. Read more about the impact of this delicate transit.

Jupiter goes retrograde on February 5th and won't go direct until June 9th, 2017, strengthening his impact and increasing his effects for many months. As he continues to transit Virgo, each of us is learning about our need for clarity and creativity right now. Read more about his impact on your rising sign.

Aryaman however brings resources through your long term commitments, providing sustainable results and comfort and support due to your dedication. He especially likes marriage commitments and contracts that bind and unify. Through the process of hard work, you receive the fruits of your efforts.

He is the god of dawning, the light and awakening. What light is rising within you? Where do you feel this light within your body?

Moon in 7th tithi
Saptami

Early afternoon, Moon moves from Savitr's domain in the heavens, to Vishvakarma's domain. As the friendly Moon energy arrives in Chitra, a powerful alignment with action, karma, is stirred.

What action can you take today that moves you one step closer to your dharma, to right action, to your soul's purpose?

Thursday, January 19th
Moon in 8th tithi
Ashtami

Just as Thursday begins, Moon arrives in Libra. The vacillation of this moveable air sign is too overwhelming for the constant change of the Moon. It needs more grounding and consistency to feel safe and comfortable. Ketu also gives his gaze to the Moon, which provokes sudden changes and instability in the coming days. There may be triggers that make you feel ungrounded and disconnected from your body. What do you need for grounding, safety and support today? As Moon shifts to Swati nakshatra early evening, the necessity for grounding is even more important. The winds of change are blowing. Don't get swept away in the currents.

Sun is currently transiting Capricorn and Uttarashada, the domain of the Vishva Devas, or all-gods. Late evening, the Sun arrives in the 6 degree 40 range, which opens the portal of the 28th nakshatra, Abhijit. This nakshatra is considered a very spiritual portion of the heavens, which can support great visions, awakening and understanding. Sun will be in this domain until mid day on the 24th of January. The coming days are potent and ripe with potential. Stay close to Spirit. Meditate, move in nature, seek clarity and simplicity. Listen for messages and watch for omens from your inner and outer wisdom. Activate and align with your dharmic purpose.

Moon in 9th tithi
Navami

Moon transits Libra and Swati nakshatra today, stirring movement, change and vacillation. The Moon needs more grounding, stability and holding to feel supported. What can you do to help yourself feel held, contained and connected? This pattern of disconnection and instability is very old. The addiction to chaos and turmoil is extremely compelling. The ultimate liberation, however, is being able to witness your storm, rather than succumb to its overwhelming and constant churning. Let the ocean of milk within you churn, but watch it carefully, rather than get stuck in its overpowering waves. Learn to surf and make friends with your inner currents. Today gives you practice. Late evening Moon moves to Vishaka nakshatra and your inner and outer duality will beckon for your attention. Integrate, align and harmonize polarities. Make peace with inner and outer opposition.

Just as the day begins, Mars moves to Pisces, out of conjunction with the Ketu- who has brought sudden and sharp changes over the past few months. Mars in Pisces supports passion, creative and relational potency, as well as clarity with liberation. Expect momentum and courage with release and letting go, while strengthening your resolve, inner embers, passion and the fire of life. Endings naturally support openings. What are you ready to clear, release and let go of? Pisces is the final sign of the zodiac, while Mars is the passionate and fiery planet with a warrior spirit. This is a potent combination for going after your dreams.

Moon in 10th tithi
Dashami

Moon moves through Vishaka nakshatra and Libra the majority of the day, sparking the need for integration and harmony. This impacts relationships- with self and others. Clarify what you need and make sure your actions are aligned with your inner truth. Are you saying yes, when you really mean no? Plug energetic leaks and get clear on your boundaries. Clean up any communications that have been left unattended to. Be mindful of your anger and the aggression from others. What's yours and what is not? This is a powerful day to honor your inner wisdom and honor its messages. Notice where you merge too easily with others, rather than staying grounded within yourself. As Moon shifts to its debilitation sign, Scorpio, late in the day, it's even more vital to stay connected to your own inner knowing. Intuition strengthens. Are you listening? Late evening, Moon arrives in Anuradha nakshatra. Make friends with your inner realms. What is your soul's message to you?

Mercury moves out of Mula nakshatra today, supporting more calm, harmony and creativity in the mind. The past many weeks of mental turmoil and chaos can find some calm now. Are you addicted to the chaos, or can you find the harmony within your mental body? The lack of clarity means you are resisting something. What inner truths are you resisting and refusing to align with?

Moon in 11th tithi
Ekadashi

Moon transits Scorpio and Anuradha nakshatra, the "friendly star". Moon collides with Saturn in the coming days, begging you to attend to your body wisdom, emotions and undigested grief. Saturn is the planet of your grief, while Scorpio stirs your depths. As the Moon (your emotional body) mirrors these layers of your being right now, it's vital to allow your deeper inner waves to emerge. Where are you holding back? Where are you resisting? Let your body be the portal, the entry point, for leaning in. Listen and look. Pause to check. What is your emotional body sharing with you? Honor its wisdom and allow the release to take place. Resisting will only intensify the pains. Reach out to others and ask for their support and holding, but don't forget to make friends with your inner realms with silence and stillness.

Moon in 12th tithi
Dvadasi

Just as Monday arrives, Moon moves to Jyeshtha nakshatra, Indras portion of the sky. There is force, strength and power here- especially connected to the mind. Moon conjuncts exactly with Saturn late evening, instigating deeper, more painful emotions. Are you bypassing this or leaning closer? Let your body wisdom hold you as you surf the waves. Meditation will soften the mind today, while physical body movement will support emotional release. As the king of the gods, Indra supports alignment with dharma and right action. Where are you holding yourself back? What inner truths are you resisting? Why might you refuse to activate your power and purpose? Courageously lean into your fear and listen carefully.
