 The coming year has some dramatic changes arriving, while offering deconstruction of old structures and foundations, and increased focus on communication and self expression. Days after the new year begins, we experience the first eclipse of the year. There will be five eclipses total this year. January 5th will be the first partial solar eclipse, followed by a total lunar eclipse on January 20th. The next set of eclipses will occur in July and one final eclipse in December. There are some challenging Transits to keep your eye on in the days and months ahead. The new year begins with the pressure of Saturn on Sun and Mercury. We enter an eclipse portal on the 5th and the themes of Sagittarius intensify through the two week eclipse portal. And this is just January! We are in for some immediate upheaval and rebuilding as 2019 begins with a rough start and some challenging transits. It's important to be vigilant and acknowledge the discomfort surfacing. Don't avoid or resist these parts of yourself and your life, be proactive. What new support and guidance do you need? What resources and tools are missing from your life? What changes need to be made in order for more ease and gentleness in your life? February comes with restructuring and changes as well. We must pay attention to what changes are being asked of us and not resist the wisdom of Saturn arriving right now. Are you paying attention? What are your challenges trying to tell you? What changes and adjustments need to be made? Listen to my FB Live and get the play by play of transits for 2019 The first major transit of the year is in early March as Rahu and Ketu shift into new signs. Rahu moves to Gemini where he will be exalted and Ketu moves to Sagittarius where he will also be exalted. Exalted planets can express themselves at 100% capacity, while also moving their energy outward. The lunar nodes, or shadow planets, will be extra strong- whether positive or negative. Sagittarius continues to take center stage for 2019 as Saturn moves through this spiritual fire sign. Jupiter will also arrive here late in the year providing a bit more balance to the challenging conjunction between Ketu and Saturn. Read more about Saturn in Sagittarius. 2019 brings a mix of Transits- most notably the challenging conjunction of Ketu and Saturn for the majority of the year. Old structures are being dismantled and we are being asked to let go of what is not in right relationship with natural cycles and rhythms. Where are you out of alignment? How can you simplify and restructure? As Ketu transits into Sagittarius early March, he collides with Saturn, causing major shifts and changes with old, established structures and foundations. Expect a restructuring of the old ways of being and what you have relied upon. These old patterns and behaviors will be dismantled. Though uncomfortable, this is an opportunity for a massive upgrade in all areas of your life. A break up of heaviness and longstanding grief is coming. Ketu provides change and transformation- whether welcomed or not. This year is an important time to slow way down. Ketu moves at lightening speed, while Saturn moves extremely slowly and methodically. These two planets contradict each other on every level. Saturn will request your attention and force his ways whether you care to listen or not. Ground, stay close to earth and body, simplify your life and slow down more than you think you need to. Read more about Ketu in Capricorn and Rahu in Cancer. Saturn is connected to the physical body and structures of all kinds- especially old and ancient ones. Keep life as simple as possible and slow way down. Simplify life more than you think you need to. Wherever you are over complicating things, Saturn will cause pressure and pain. Simplify. Simplify. Simplify. Saturn reminds us that we need to be in right relationship with natural laws. Wherever he is causing duress and pain, he's asking us to move into right relationship with natural cycles and rhythms. He wants simplicity and slow, steady steps. Look to Sagittarius in your Jyotish chart for the area of your life and body that is asking for more attention right now. What themes are present? Where do you feel the pressure? Jupiter continues to transit Scorpio for the majority of the year, shifting into Sagittarius late in the year. Scorpio is a sign of depth, death and vulnerability. Jupiter is the teacher, the maha guru. Right now, the greatest teachings are coming from the darkness, the depth and from the shadows. Pay attention and don't skip over the unseen realms. Life gains meaning and wisdom when we are willing to face our darkness. True healing can not take place without honoring the wholeness- both shadow and light. Read more about Jupiter in Scorpio Horoscopes for 2019 These Horoscopes will give you general themes for the year to come based on your rising sign. Horoscopes are based on your sidereal, or Jyotish rising sign, not your Western or Tropical sign. There is likely no correlation. You may also use with your sidereal Moon or Sun sign for extra insight. Aries: Saturn continues through your 9th house of dharma this year, sparking a need for new structure with life path, purpose, spiritual growth and focus on authority issues. Grief surfaces in these areas of your life and begs you to look more closely. Transform the lump of coal into the diamond. Lean closer, don't look away. Get focused and direct your efforts with clarity and vigilance. Jupiter in your 8th house is asking you to dive deeper and look below the surface. Attend to the darkness within and don't neglect your shadow work. There is much to learn about your vulnerability. Look closer. After March, the restructuring that has been taking place in your career shifts and dharmic changes beg for your attention. You won't be ale to keep going in the same direction. It's time for something new. Spiritual matters become non-negotiable. Focus on creativity, the hands and self expression. How can you start letting your passions get more of your attention and intention? Taurus: Relationships continue to get your focus and force you look closer. They are helping you learn so much! Though it hasn't been easy, but you are learning more about self expression and what it means to be vulnerable which is vital for a healthy relationship to thrive. Old, undigested grief is surfacing and requires you to put some focus on your depths and darkness. Feeling lost and misaligned with your life path and purpose? It's important to focus on your sense of self and inner truth. Align with your power and notice where you are giving your power away. Plug the leaks. The coming year requires you to make some adjustments with finances, food and voice. It's time to truly express your needs and notice where you are keeping yourself silent. Vulnerabilities, fears and traumas from the past resurface and require you to revisit them. Get more support and guidance to navigate this so you can heal and release. This is not a year to take unnecessary risk or be negligent with your health. Sensitivity will be at an all time high. Honor it. Gemini: Jupiter in your 6th house has been helping you heal from the gut level and support greater insights with conflicts and finances. Keep listening and be willing to dive deeper into your vulnerabilities and shadows. You've been forced to put focus on past traumas and shadows, but this will shift early March. The wisdom and clarity you've gained through voice, finances and nourishment will be useful in the year ahead. Refocus in the coming months and put attention on your self development and self awareness. The veils of illusion will be asking you to pay attention and support their release. How are your inner shadows clouding your vision of self, power and purpose? Relationships have been bringing grief to the forefront. At the same time, this is a powerful time to reestablish a sense of grounding, stability and support- within your body and your life. Re-balance and find a new sense of self and life structure. This will become even more important in the year ahead. Navigate instability with conscious awareness. Where are you creating this instability? What choices and decision continue to destabilize you? How can you deepen your roots in order to weather the storms of life more easily. Deepen your self trust and inner wisdom. Your body wisdom will never lead you astray. Cancer: The past year and a half have been focused on self growth and inner awareness. You have been learning and growing by leaps and bounds- though it hasn't been easy. Much of your growth has come by removing veils of illusion. Relationships have brought changes and transformations, pain and release. March brings a shift in focus as Rahu moves to your 12th house of spiritual, ancestral and foreign travels. Marriage and partnerships get your attention and may require some trouble shooting. Pay attention and don't get lazy or lost in ideals. This will require your focused attention and proactive steps. Healing comes suddenly and with amazing results, while also helping you resolve conflicts and challenges that have not been previously released. Why do you resist confrontation? How can you show up more authentically and be more emotionally congruent? The process of healing requires effort and hard work, but will be worth it. This is a powerful time to let go of undigested grief and work consciously on digestion, stomach issues and health. The physical body will require you to pay close attention, but releasing undigested grief from the body is supported right now. Don't push past what your gut is telling you. All of this is clearing the way for more empowered, focused intuitive awareness and inner intelligence. It's well worth your effort. Leo: For over a year, you've been pulled into your depths- attending to loss, retreat, alone time and the spiritual realms. You've been focusing on healing and releasing conflict- inner and outer. How can you keep showing up authentically? Heart and home matters continue to teach you so much about your needs and desires. Keep listening to your emotional body wisdom and honor the full spectrum of its expression. You get to feel what you feel! Your power and intuition are the main challenge right now. This theme continues in 2019 and requires you really step up! Why are you resisting your powerful insights and empowered self expression? As Ketu shifts into conjunction with Saturn early March, the stagnation begins to break apart. Revisiting trauma and grief that has kept you disempowered will be important. Release and challenges come through children, playfulness, intuition, power and gut. Gains come if you make space for them but there will be inevitable losses in this process. Lean closer, not away. Support release and letting go, so that you have room to express yourself more fully. Be mindful of relationships, friendships and older siblings. Are they empowering you or disempowering you? Clarify needs and boundaries and focus on authentic self expression. Virgo: Expansion and growth continues to come from courage and self expression. Continue to focus on the full range of creativity and wisdom in your hands. You are learning a lot about how to use these parts of yourself for your dharmic path and purpose. Now it's time to implement them more fully. Take action and don't lose sight of your goals. Your self expression and creativity support relationships, dharma, and gains. Stay with it. Grief is surfacing with home, heart and mother. Lean closer and attend to the undigested emotions that are keeping you stuck. Friendships, older siblings and gains have been challenging. Power, intuition and gut insights have caused you to refocus and realign your path. What are you learning about your power and intuition? Where do you need to express more and share your emotions? The coming year causes challenges with home, heart, land, mother and the chest. Old undigested grief is breaking apart and releasing. Support this process so you can make space for something new. You will need to readjust and let go in this process. Where are you gripping too tightly? As Rahu shifts to your 10th house early March, career and offering get your energy and focus for the coming 1.5 years. Are your worldly desires getting the best of you? Get visible and asks for what you need, but be mindful that your desires may be out of control at this time. You will likely need to adjust your plans. Libra: You've been very focused on your career and life offering over the past year and though there have been challenges and gains, it's time to refocus. Heart, home and mother have brought release, restructuring and heartache. As Rahu shifts into your 9th house of dharma early March, your attention moves closer to life path and purpose. Challenges arrive with authority and those in power positions. Be mindful that you are in right relationship with those you are walking with. Do they have your needs and best interests in mind? What is your relationship with power and authority? This is an important cycle to reestablish your own sense of self and power. Realign with your own inner knowing and deepen your courage and creativity. Be mindful of your hands and awaken the gifts of your artistic expression. Though it may feel challenging, find a new creative structure and implement solid self expression into your life skills. Use your body in creative ways and expand your self expression. Continue to focus on nourishment, food habits and money behaviors. Lean closer to your malnourishment and get to the root of your issues. Debt, lack and feeling unsupported are all symptoms of not being able to receive. What is blocking you from getting your needs met? Why are you resisting what you need? Scorpio: The self expansion continues this year as Jupiter spends most of the year in your head helping you learn, grow and stabilize in life changing ways. He is supporting more playfulness, empowerment, relationships and dharmic alignment. Say yes to his wisdom and keep going! Even with the expansion, Saturn is pruning the nourishment you receive, causing restrictions, delays and obstructions. Pay closer attention to your food, money and voice. There is undigested grief here to attend to and it's causing pain and challenge. You've been focused on your dharma and greater empowerment the past year, awakening more self expression and stepping into greater courage. As Ketu moves to Sagittarius early March, you redirect and refocus on your need for nourishment. The stagnation begins to break up, but will require a great deal of attention and intention. Vulnerability gets a lot more of your attention. Lean even closer, dive even deeper, look under every rock and let your shadows guide you. Attend to health and don't get lackadaisical. The restructuring taking place with food, money and voice is necessary for more nourishment to be received. Right now attend to the painful transformation and losses so you can make space for what you truly need. What do you need for greater nourishment? How can your vulnerability support more receiving? Sagittarius: The past few years have been deeply life changing. You are being asked to simplify and transform in all areas of your life- inside and out. Vulnerability and past life reminders are coming to the forefront. As Saturn continues through your 1st house, you are in a powerful life altering process. Be mindful of health and be vigilant with your body. Undigested grief is surfacing and requires your attention. Keep it moving and don't push it away. Your usual optimism may be feeling distant and hard to find. Keep going anyway. Trust this metamorphosis you are in and create a new life structure for yourself. Spiritual matters, release, retreat and ancestral insights are strengthening. Keep deepening your listening skills and integrate the wisdom arriving. The next phase of your path will be sharing this inner wisdom with others, but for now trust what is coming to you and let it be a resource. As Ketu moves to your first house early March, you begin a remarkable life-altering restructuring. The grief you've been carrying begins to lift and the heaviness shifts. You are becoming an entirely new person and it's visible to others. You will need even more support and guidance in the months ahead. Gather more support and strengthen your team. Relationships require your focus and may be a stronger desire for you. What do you need to learn from them? Where do they cause you pain and challenge? Your path is changing and becoming even more spiritually focused. Attune and align with the wisdom coming to you and let it inform your choices. Capricorn: It's been well over a year of restructuring and life altering experiences. You are not the same person you were over a year ago. The massive transformations within your head and body are shifting early March. Relationships have forced you to pay attention and attend to your shadows more closely. The new focus will be on release, spirit, ancestors and retreats. Marriage and partnerships get more of your focus and require restructuring as well. Be vigilant with changes that are necessary and don't drop your guard. Support and allow for release and letting go. Ask the ancestors for help and insights. Address any resistance around conflicts and healing. Why might you be resisting confrontation, boundaries and expressing your needs? Awaken your inner healer and gut intelligence. Support digestion and release so you have more space for deeper nourishment. There may be a tendency towards constipation and challenges with release. Remember that gains come when you make space for them. What needs to be released in order for you to have room for more of what you need? Attend to friendships and older siblings. There may be more to learn from these relationships but you'll have to be honest with your vulnerability and shadows. Aquarius: You've been receiving the gift of expansion with your career and offerings, but it's causing you to look below the surface and see the shadows. The depth is causing some misalignment to surface and an awareness about unmet needs. How can you take this insight and wisdom into a new offering or share your gifts in a new way? Focus on home, heart, emotions, nourishment and healing. Let this wisdom guide you towards a more nourishing direction. Friendships, older siblings and gains have brought challenges and discomfort. What needs to be clarified and released so you have more space for your own path and purpose? Spiritual matters have gotten a lot of your focus this past year. Attending to emotional congruency and authentic emotional expression has been part of your healing journey. The shift arriving this year comes as your power, intuition and gut intelligence get your focused attention. It may feel unclear and uncertain at first, but keep leaning closer and gather the resources you need to strengthen your empowered clarity within. The undigested grief in relationships begins to break apart. Expect release, letting go and loss, but remember you are making space for what you truly need and deserve. Say yes to your power and don't look back. Pisces: Dharma and life purpose have been expanding and growing. Let your spiritual insights inform your choices and path. This wisdom is supporting self growth and intuitive insights. Your children, power and gut intelligence have gotten your full attention for over a year. Friendships, relationships, gains and older siblings have come with release, loss and restructuring. Career and life offering have felt heavy, hard and painful. This heaviness has impacted home and heart as well. Early March, a shift in focus arrives. The stagnation and disappointments in career begin to break apart. You are being asked to restructure the way you share yourself in this world. Let computers, internet and spiritual insights support your new offering. The tighter you grip, the more pain will arrive. Letting go and release are necessary in order to make way for the new. Don't resist. A stronger emphasis arrives with home, heart, mother, land and emotions over the next 1.5 years. Beautify your space, ask for more, honor your desires and seek a deeper sense of home and emotional body wisdom, but don't let your desires get the best of you. The deep longing for home might cloud your judgement. Gather guidance, counsel and support while strengthening your inner power. Your are learning to trust yourself even more.

 The new year begins with a full Moon in Ardra nakshatra, the constellation of storm god, Rudra. 2018 starts with a forceful energy, inviting in power, intensity and emotional body waves. There is promise of big, grande and bold changes on multiple levels. Read more about the January Full Moon. As 2018 begins, Jupiter is transiting Libra still, Saturn continues his arduous transit through Sagittarius and Mula nakshatra, while Rahu transits Cancer and Ketu transits Capricorn.

We won't see shifts in these major transits until October 2018, when Jupiter shifts to Scorpio.

March of 2019, Rahu will enter Gemini and Ketu will change to Sagittarius, joining Saturn there. The majority of 2018 doesn't offer any changes in the major transits of Saturn, Jupiter, Rahu or Ketu, however, the shorter transits of Moon, Mars, Venus, Mercury, and Sun will impact us more closely. These Horoscopes will give you general themes for the year to come based on your rising sign. Horoscopes are based on your sidereal, or Jyotish rising sign, not your Western or Tropical sign.

Creativity and courage require your focus. Restructuring and disconnection are possible with your artistry and hands. Let this guide your relationship to your dharma as well.

Doors Close February 10th!! 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. Read more about Mercury in Capricorn Saturday, February 4th 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. * All timing is Mountain Standard Time.

He is our greatest suffering and sorrows, but ultimately our enlightenment. He moves slowly and methodically, taking 2.5 years to move through each sign. What Saturn offers us is the depth of our being, our humanness, whether through experiencing the human form, the physical body, or through the reactions of our actions. Life might be easier without him, but it would truly lack depth, lessons learned, and the necessity for consistent effort which is necessary for us to grow and evolve. As per my article, Ripening Slowly with Saturn: "Saturn brings both the blessings and the curses of life- as he gives his wisdom only through the slow ripening of time, effort, suffering, loss and age. It takes time to learn the deepest, hardest and most important wisdom of life. This wisdom has to be worked for and requires effort to receive. Thus, Saturn pays us in enlightenment for the work, effort, steady actions, that we make over a long period of time. If we don't adhere to his rules for wisdom, he will make us suffer the consequences." Saturn is worth studying, working with, not against. Being very familiar with his ways is vital for life and living. This will cause less suffering, less misery, fewer health issues, and less depression and despondency. For on the other side of suffering is great alliance with Nature and her wisdom, as well as the sacred Laws of the Universe. This is one of the gifts that Saturn grants us when we are in alignment with Source. Saturn in Sagittarius Saturn shifts to Sagittarius on January 26th, 2017 at 02:55am MST for his first pass through this sign. He will be in Mula nakshastra 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. Sagittarius correlates to the 9th house of your natal chart, which is the house of dharma. The 9th house is considered the most auspicious house of the chart, offering support and resources, more than challenges and struggles. It is also the house associated with teachers, but most importantly, one's guru. These days, most people have many gurus- so how you receive knowledge and who guides and supports you on your path, is also honored by this house. This can include coaches, therapists, healers, teachers of all kinds and anyone who shows up in a support role. The ninth house is spiritual, wisdom oriented and connected to higher education. There is also a correlation to the father, but most often the step father- as the guru was in ancient times. For everyone, understanding their natal 9th house, and how it expresses itself in the chart, will be important right now. As Saturn enlivens the themes of the 9th house during this transit, he will also by default, be activating your natal 9th house themes. This year, Saturn spends the majority of his time in Mula nakshatra- the first constellation situated in Sagittarius. 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 with 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 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? Saturn will stay in Mula nakshatra until June 21st of 2017. Part of this transit includes his retrograde dance back through this chaotic gandanta (gap). Saturn will retrograde on April 5th, 2017. Saturn will then re-enter Scorpio on June 21st for another four months, before re-entering Sagittarius and Mula nakshatra on October 26th, for the remainder of his 2.5 year transit through this fire sign. Saturn stays in Sagittarius until January of 2020. As Saturn shifts into Sagittarius, Rahu in Leo gives his gaze directly to this heavy, challenging planet of hard work and structure. When the energies of Rahu and Saturn come together, storm energy is enlivened, the power of Rudra (the Storm God) is invoked. This offers immense strength, but it must be channeled effectively in order to be utilized properly. With great power, comes great responsibility, Channel this power, force and strength effectively, and you will feel the wind in your sails. Allow this storm energy to control you, and it will induce more struggle, suffering and calamity. Find the calm within the storm and activate grounding, embodiment and core strength. This ongoing lengthy transit will be the most provocative and transformational since Saturn is the slowest moving planet and the grief giver. He impacts the physical body directly and brings ongoing duress because he is so heavy, old and slow. As the planet of grief, this is also an important time to pull out the roots of grief that have been living in your bodies unconsciously. Attending to your grief process and healing old wounds will be especially important in 2017. Everyone will be forced on some level to look directly at their suffering and pain. Hopefully this will bring new awareness. Why is this transit so provocative? Mula nakshatra is ruled by the dark goddess, Nirrti, responsible for adharmic activity- that which is against dharma. She is notorious for causing chaos, calamity and misfortune, while also pulling you from your dharmic path. There is a risk in the coming months of losing your path, getting stuck in the storm of uncertainty, confusion and misalignment- losing your path by succumbing to fear, doubt, and challenges. If you find yourself lacking clarity about your life purpose, or confusion seems to increase, it's time to seek support and guidance. Please reach out to me. Resources, guidance and support will be even more important at this time because it will be so easy to fall into the chaos and confusion that Nirrti provokes. With great diligence however, this can also be a time of strengthening your determination, focus and alignment with dharma. Do not lose hope. Do not get lost in Nirrti's perfect storm. Stay connected and aligned with your dreams, desires, goals and passions. These are important resources to help you honor your dharmic path. As challenging as this Saturn transit will be for many, it is also an opportunity to do some very powerful healing work in ways that will support deep, lasting change for the physical body. Saturn has not transited Sagittarius since December of 1987. You might recall what took place for you from the end of 1987 to December 1990, the length of Saturn's transit through Sagittarius. This will give you a good idea of what to expect in the next few years. You can also look at your jyotish chart and notice where Sagittarius is for you specifically. As painful as this process of letting go and uprooting will be in the coming months, it's also an opportunity for great change and transformation. Release and letting go allows new space and possibility to arrive- on all levels of your being. How you work with your pain, grief and challenges will determine your outcome. Remember that there's always a resource hidden in the challenges. The trick is to find them! It will be important to get extra support, resources and guidance in the months to come to help you transform challenges into possibility. Do not lose sight of your visions and dreams, goals and aspirations. Stay close to your body and breath and deepen your inner roots. Use resources to help you expand your creativity and what you think is possible for yourself. Try to keep life as simple and stable as possible. Saturn enters PurvaAshada nakshatra on November 27th 2018 for one year. Saturn enters UttaraAshada nakshatra on December 27th 2019 until he moves to Capricorn on January 23rd 2020. Horoscopes |
