The Wisdom of Rahu and Ketu
~for Your Dharmic Path

Whenever the darkness is not integrated and unified with the light, the effects will not be balanced or harmonious. The shadow always seeks the light and the light will always return to darkness. This is a Law of Nature- as they are one and the same.

Ultimately, Rahu can not be denied, nor Ketu- his counterpart in karmic liberation. One's jyotish chart shows where the shadow is seeking light and how it will bring your awakening.

The blessing of your courageous efforts and your willingness, is finding that within the darkest and most disturbing parts of yourself, you will actually find the missing pieces you are desperately longing for; your whole and empowered life. If you are truly willing to courageously look into your own shadows you will undoubtedly find the very gifts you so desperately long to receive. Your shadows in fact hold the gifts you seek for wholeness, for your dharmic giving, your offerings to the world, and for a meaningful life.

This is What your Karma Tells You About Your Dharma

We all have resistance. Finding the resistance within yourself and within your life, will point the way towards your own shadow parts. Remember that the energy you use to resist your own darkness takes incredible energy to maintain, and is a drain to the vital life force energy that could be put to good use elsewhere. Energy you could put into living your one precious life- actualizing your dreams, taking bold, fulfilling action steps!

We each have an attraction and repulsion dynamic within us-
a push and a pull.


What you desperately long for and desire is the core of your shadow work and points the way to all the pieces of your darkness. What you deeply long for is seeking you in other words. And it's hidden beneath your shadows. This shadow, and working with one's darkness in order to awaken, is the juxtaposition of Rahu (shadow) and Ketu (light) in ones Jyotish chart, and why Rahu is both darkness and compulsions, as well as desires and insatiable needs.

Let Rahu drive you towards your own wholeness. Let him show you what you long for, what you need the most in this life, and let him also show you what you are resisting simultaneously.

Wherever Rahu sits in your jyotish chart (the house, the sign, the planets he interacts with, the nakshatra he resides in etc.) points directly to the main theme of your personal life story. Rahu and Ketu are quite literally karma points and they show you why you have incarnated into this body, into this life, and what you are here to learn. The dance of shadow and light, Rahu and Ketu, fully express your ability and your willingness to grow and awaken in this life time. Will you continue to resist your shadows, your darkness (Rahu)? Or will the compulsion to emerge from the illusions be strong enough to force your awakening and crack you open (Ketu)?

The power within the shadow is two fold. When you resist your darkness, you refuse and resist the healing and the medicine that your life has to offer. You are essentially refusing and resisting awakening to your most essential gifts. These gifts always reveal your dharma, your life purpose, your reason for being alive, and thus there is an immense reward for your efforts- if you choose to take on the task fully.

However, it is not the path of ease, numbness, ignorance and denial. In order to awaken, you must invite in your shadow parts, continue to go deeper into your darkness in unending cycles, to dive for pearls of truth tirelessly- as though your life depends on it. It does.

This is why aligning with one's dharma, one's true reason for being alive, is not for everyone, and is in fact evasive for most people. For those who thrive on transformation though, the gifts are unending and continue to unfold.

The shadows after all, hold your most potent power, and the wisdom you need for your life and your cycles of death and rebirth. The skill then becomes not just the willingness to go into your shadow, your darkness, but to also know when to let go of it, to release and shift into something new.

Some will never walk into their shadows and bravely peel back the layers of their suffering and pain. For those willing to do this courageous work, you must also remember how to come up for air, to take a breath, to dance with both the darkness and the light, to heal and overcome the vow of brokenness, while continuing to bravely dance with your shadows cyclically.

Clients who come to me are walking this fine edge of wanting to awaken; there is a desire to know what their life means and how to overcome their biggest obstacles- and yet simultaneously there is a strong fear to look. This is the attraction/repulsion dynamic at play, a true expression of Rahu driving us towards answers, yet fearful of what we will find once we get there.

Rahu and Ketu are not planets at all, they are mathematical points on either side of the Moon with rather significant implications on our Self experience.

The Moon is arguably the most influential part of the chart- indicating our experiences within the womb and our relationship with mother, as well as our inner nature.

The Moon is our guide for emotional well being and our connection to our intuitive self. In fact, the Moon is so important to our life experience, the relationship the nodes have with the Moon indicates their impact on our emotional well being- among other things. Rahu and Ketu, the Moon and the rest of the chart, all create our own unique stories, mythologies and individual karmic dramas.

The nodes, as Rahu and Ketu are referred to, are mischievous in nature. They present our karmas to us in this incarnation. Without them, and their very valuable life lessons, we would not have incarnated into a human body. They are essential to this lila, this play of life, that we are involved with in this dimension.

Both Rahu and Ketu have their own unique array of offerings, but because they are shadow "planets" they often evade prediction.

Their nature is to deceive, mystify, to be illusive, and to blind us from our true nature. They represent forces that can't be seen and are the parts of ourselves that go unnoticed and unrecognized. When, and if, the shadow or veil of illusion is removed, and we do see what has been hidden from us, it is often extremely painful.

Rahu and Ketu request that we ask ourselves:
What am I not seeing or what am I not willing to see?
What am I clinging to and unable to let go of?

Studying your jyotish chart is an essential tool for understanding your dharmic path.

Rahu in Gemini & Ketu in Sagittarius: Spiritual Awakening and Creative Awareness + Horoscopes

3/4/2019

0 Comments

 
Picture


On March 7th 2019, our karmas shift. Rahu moves to creative, airy Gemini and Ketu shifts to Sagittarius, joining Saturn in this spiritual, fire sign. This 1.5 year transit will last until September 23rd, 2020. During this transit, both planets will move through mulitrikona degrees, then into exaltation, creating even more intensified results with our shadows.

Why We Need the Shadow. Read more about the powerful impact of Rahu and Ketu.

Ketu in Sagittarius:

The combination of Ketu and Saturn in Sagittarius will make for a bumpy ride during 2019- as old grief is cleared, dismembered and released. Sagittarius is a highly spiritual fire sign. It aims high, but rarely hits the target because of hesitation to pick a direction. When focused and determined, Sagittarius creates pure, spiritual desire that can lead to alignment with dharma, inner growth and right action. A new sense of space and awareness is being created within you and your life during this transit- unlike anything you've experienced before.

In the months ahead, it's important to ask yourself:

What am I making space for? How do I want to use this space? How can I simplify my life even more? What past trauma needs my attention?

Saturn is the planet of grief. He is heavy, slow and old. He will show you where undigested grief is living within your life and body. This old, cold and heavy planet represents established, traditional structures, as well as progress that comes through slow and steady steps. His transits take 2.5 years in length, the longest of all the planets.

Read more about Saturn's transit through Sagittarius.


Ketu is a planet that changes in the blink of an eye, like a flash of lightening. The contradictory nature of Saturn and Ketu will cause challenges with speed, focus, and outcomes, while creating sudden, lasting impact. Perhaps the positive experience with these two planets is that both can offer very spiritual awareness and support awakenings in various forms.

Trauma, sudden loss and terror come with Ketu. The coming transit may force us to revisit past traumas or losses. Use this time to stay as close to the body as possible and keep life simple and slow. Gather resources, support and guidance to help heal and re-pattern old traumas.

Saturn's enlightenment comes through years of consistent action and putting in a great deal of effort. He polishes the lump of coal through constant heat and pressure, eventually revealing the diamond. Ketu, however, serves his Moksha suddenly- through flashes of insight, shocking revelations, and instant shifts in awareness. He can bring trauma and sudden loss with him as he sheds layers of illusion.

Though the intention of both planets is transformation and awakening, they go about it in totally different ways. When their differences collide, it may be challenging to stay grounded and connected to the body.

The house that Sagittarius occupies in your jyotish chart will show the area of your life that will be impacted by this incompatible relationship. What themes are present?

Ketu in UttaraAshada: March 7th to May 9th, 2019

Ketu transits UttaraAshada Nakshatra until May 9th, 2019. Use this time to sever, clear, and release past habits, behaviors and identities. The harder you cling, the more struggle you will experience. Less is more. Let go and hand whatever you can over to Spirit. Honor and acknowledge traumas and triggers surfacing. Your ego identity going through a massive upgrade. The more you can accept and release, the easier this process will be. Align with integrity and right action as much as possible. Don't lose sight of your goals and direction.

Ketu in PurvaAshada: May 9th, 2019 to January 15th, 2020

Once Ketu arrives in the 2nd constellation of Sagittarius, he moves into exact conjunction with Saturn. This triggers a powerful release process that will result in sudden changes. The tight Saturn/Ketu conjunction will force release of old, outworn patterns and behaviors. Relationships will change and shift in unpredictable ways. Your physical body will require your attention right now. Notice the urge to force and push for results. Where can you slow down and let go even more? You are in a powerful purification process. Support the clearing taking place physically and spiritually. Don't get lazy.

Ketu in Mula Nakshatra: January 15th, 2020 to September 23rd, 2020

As Ketu moves to Mula nakshatra, the entire world will feel a deep uprooting taking place. It's important to understand that everyone on the planet will simultaneously be experiencing the instability of this transit. None of us will come out of this cycle the same person. Mula is considered a gandanta, notorious for pulling up the weeds within the psycho-emotional body levels of our being. The dark goddess, Nirrti, rules this constellation- often causing havoc, chaos and choices that lead to adharma. This is a time period that will provide immense, radical clearing in very unpredictable ways. The planet as a whole may feel very unstable as a result. The best use of your energy is to stay close to your dharmic path and do not get derailed. Slow down even more. Don't take unnecessary risks and focus on staying close to the body. Gather even more support than you think you need. You will need it.

Read more about the impact of the dark goddess and Mula nakshatra. 


Rahu in Gemini

Rahu in Gemini will create forceful shifts and strong, unpredictable movement. This transit also brings stormy energy and powerful currents, making sweeping, sudden changes. As the shadow of desire, Rahu intensifies whatever he comes into contact with. Desires may become irrational and inflated, as well as overly materialistic. However, this is also an important creative transit that can lead to new ideas, innovations, and immense worldly success.

Creativity and the imagination will be wild and untamed. Imagination can be used as a powerful boon or a dangerous dragon of illusion. The mind will need you to keep it tame. Remember that the mental body is the imaginal. Don't believe everything you think.

The wild imagination emerging can be put to good use if you are an artist, musician, writer, dancer or entrepreneur. Money, commerce and communications may expand and grow quickly, but will likely experience loss and change just as suddenly. Nothing about Rahu is predictable- so never expect his results to last or endure. Do not put all your eggs in one basket and don't count your chickens before they hatch. If he gives you gains, change this into a new form so that you are able to keep it. Don't let your greed get in the way of common sense and rational behavior.

Mind the mind in this cycle. Take time for meditation, pranayama, and yoga. Spend extra time in Nature, walk barefoot and hug trees. Stay grounded and commune with Spirit. Eat more greens, clean up your diet and routine. Get creative and try new things. This is a great cycle to learn a new creative skill or upgrade your passions and talents. Focus on upgrading your communication skills and be sure you are speaking clearly. Put everything in writing and don't make assumptions. Intuition may be stronger than normal, but not everyone can read your mind.

Gemini brings the arrival of the third, transformation and transcendent. From the churning and storms, the amrita arrives. Through the creative process, awareness and understanding emerges. The symbol of Gemini, from a Jaimini perspective, is the two lovers. Their union creates a third energy, a powerful expression of love. Rahu may inflate the desire to create, procreate, and fall in love. Don't rush, slow down, and don't get lost in just the idea of love. Make sure there's actually something solid behind the vision. Something new is being created right now and it may not happen exactly how you think it should. Trust the process of what is being created. This will require your deep surrender.

Look at your jyotish chart and notice where Gemini lives. The house that Gemini occupies will show you the themes activated through this transit. What do you notice?


Rahu in Punarvasu: March 7th, 2019 to September 11th, 2019

This is an important time to seek more guidance and support, but you will also be asked to look at your own shadows and illusions even closer. Are you willing to dig deeper? Don't fall for false gurus or materialistic approaches to spirituality. Upgrade your creative resources and try something new. Take a new class, gather new wisdom, and expand what you believe is possible for yourself. Find the wholeness, and be open to receive more nourishment from all sources. Ask for what you need and open up to the abundance of life. Clear the blockages keeping you from receiving- especially on the mental body level.

Rahu in Ardra: September 11th, 2019 to May 20th, 2020

When Rahu moves to Ardra nakshatra, storm god, Rudra, takes center stage. His powerful energy increases exponentially with the magnification of Rahu. Big waves are likely- physically, materially and within Nature. Sudden, unpredictable surges of power will occur. Be very mindful how you use this big energy or the storms will swallow you up. This is a time period to be very diligent with staying grounded. Stay on top of the mind and don't let the imaginal realms pull you off path. Strengthen your roots so the storms don't destabilize you. Emotions will be strong, overpowering and challenging at times. Are you in right relationship with your emotional body waves, or are you getting lost in the depths of the ocean? Be careful with yourself and others. Challenging people may surface just to test your strength. Diligence with your shadow work is non-negotiable right now. Take responsibility for your own triggers and feelings. Gather even more resources and support to help you navigate the choppy waters.

Rahu in Mrigashirsha: May 20th, 2020 to September 23rd, 2020


As this powerful transit of the shadows comes to a close, Rahu moves to Mrigashirsha nakshatra. This is a constellation of Soma, the immortal nectar of life. It has an important lunar quality that brings pure nourishment, growth and branching out in new directions. The shadow side of this portion of the sky is erratic behaviors and choices, as well as excess movement. It can be highly ungrounded and lose too much life force energy from over-activity. At the same time, Ketu will be in Mula nakshatra- another highly ungrounded portion of the sky. Changes will be taking place at immense speed during the final months of this transit. Simplifying life on every level may be the only way to stay sane.

Rahu in Mrigashirsha could amplify desires for growth and expansion- both positively and negatively. Tame the beast of cravings and get back to the basics. Some movement is good, but get honest about how you are using your energy. Plug the leaks and notice where you are frittering away your life force energy. Take a good look at over-indulgance and clean up your diet and routine. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Take risks with immense caution.



Horoscopes for Your Shadow Work ~
March 2019 to September 2020


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: Your life path and purpose is shifting. You're being forced to simplify how you interact in this world. Clarity and space come through letting go of old, heavy burdens that you've been carrying far too long. This requires immense courage and resourcefulness to transform and release. Are you up to the challenge? You need even more support right now- more than you think you do. Ask for help- in all areas of your life. This is not a time to drop your guard or get too cocky. Use your hands in new ways and clean up your life. Relationships and self development need your focus. Clean up your diet and make space for what you truly want. Work on stabilizing your self through your legs. Create something new with your arms and hands.

Taurus: Relationships require even more focus, resources and guidance right now. It's your shadow that is getting in the way of your receptivity. Attend directly to past trauma and old karma keeping you stuck in vulnerability and safety issues. Changes with heart and home are inevitable, while career and offering will require more focused attention. You may be very unclear, but move methodically in the direction of your goals anyway. Put more focus on your speech, nourishment, money and healing process. Attend to losses, release, and letting go. Ask for more help than you think you need and do not take risks at this time. Lighten your load and release the burdens that have been holding you back from the progress you want and deserve. This will require an upgrade so be sure to gather the guidance and resources you need to make it happen.

Gemini: You and your life are in for some major re-structuring in the months ahead. You will become more visible and have more desire for worldly success. Don't run away with yourself or get lost in your immense worldly desires. Work with power issues and path diligently. Strengthen your support team even more and gather new resources to support your awakening. Relationships bring sudden loss and changes. Work on safety and support issues. Avoid putting yourself in risky situations or relationships. Give yourself a spiritual tap root and gather even more guidance, resources, wisdom and therapeutic support for your journey. Surround yourself with more spiritual people. Remember who you are and what you stand for. Don't get side-tracked by flashy objects or ideas. Heal the trauma around instability that is keeping you and your life stuck.


Cancer: Your relationship with power is getting your focus and demanding attention. A healing process is taking place as you face truths, conflicts and needs directly. No more hiding from your self! No more avoiding your needs! No more passive/aggressive behavior! Get congruent! Where do you need to realign and refocus so you are in right relationship with your authentic voice? You're about to get cracked open and forced to be even more straight forward with yourself and others. Loss, release and letting go are inevitable in the months ahead. Become a better money manager and take care of your animals. You need to re-assess your shadow work and make sure you are truly digging deeply. It's time do digest some very old emotions- so work on your gut health to help you with this. Go beyond the surface. Let your emotions guide you. Ask you ancestors for help with this.

Leo: Heart and home continue to expand, while children, power and gut intelligence demand your focus. There is a certain vulnerability in these areas of your life so pay close attention and don't drop your guard. Clean and clear trauma with your power and awaken the wisdom in your gut. A clearing is taking place in your solar plexus. Who are you with even more access to your power? Who do you want to become? You and your dharmic path are getting even more insights. Are you ready for the light? Gains come when you make space for them so be conscious about what you are attracting- especially with relationships. Use courage and creativity in new ways. Write more and find new channels of self expression.

Virgo: Keep growing in your courage. Focus on learning and expanding your creativity, courage and self expression. Home, heart, land and mother are highly unstable in this cycle. Stability is a strong desire in the months ahead, but will likely be evasive. Open your heart and attend to the trauma surfacing. Wounds with mother, home and ancestors need your attention. The emotional body is clearing old, undigested grief and requesting you to get even more honest about your feelings. Where are you hiding from yourself? Get clear and be congruent. Avoiding conflict will not make it go away. Your worldly desires may be increasing so don't lose sight of reality. Try to clarify your direction. Find more purpose and meaning beyond worldly desires. Remember that money won't make you happy in the long run- it's just masking some deeper needs for safety and stability. Find solid ground within.

Libra: Nourishment and wealth continue to expand, however, issues with  authority figures and your relationship with power could prove problematic in the months ahead. Diligence with your ego and addressing power issues become non-negotiable. Find trust worthy support and guidance to help you navigate the murky waters. Awaken your courage and clean up your actions and choices. Be careful with your hands and use your creativity- even if it feels burdensome. Relationships are prone to sudden loss and endings as well as new clarity and insights. Who and what are you truly making space for? Now is a good time to move closer to dharma- even though it might feel daunting and unclear. Putting your attention on a higher purpose will serve you well. Gather support for your path that feels aligned with your spiritual and personal needs.

Scorpio: You are still in a powerful and important growth phase. Keep going! Money, nourishment, speech, and voice need your focus. Trauma and grief resurface with your voice, mouth and money. Pay attention to the deeper messages surfacing. Keep life simple (simpler than you think you need to) and clean up your diet. Focus on being a good money manager. Clean up the excess and plug the leaks. This is not a time for excess or extravagance. Don't get lazy. There is a certain vulnerability with this cycle so do not take risks or put yourself in dangerous situations- physically, sexually or financially. This is a very powerful time for deep shadow work. Clear away the heaviness you've been carrying unconsciously. How can you lighten your load even more? What stories are keeping you stuck? It's time for a total life upgrade. Be brave and don't be afraid of your darkness. You are transforming in life changing ways and you won't be the same person after this transit. Trust the journey and don't look back.

Sagittarius: This cycle is a total make-over in all areas of your life! You are getting cracked wide open. This is an immensely spiritual time, and also very vulnerable. Watch your head and avoid dangerous or risky situations. Do not put your body in compromising situations. Less is more in the months ahead. Simplify and clear all areas of your life. Slow down- even more than you think you should. Support the release of undigested grief and put more focus on relationships. People in your life will be demanding more of your attention and it may feel draining. Get more resources and support for your relationships. Ask spirit and the ancestors for even more help right now. Seek solitude, alone time and extra rest. You are in a powerful metamorphosis. Trust yourself to become the butterfly, but don't try to re-birth alone. The need for support and resources is even more important right now and will make the change process smoother. 

Capricorn: Gains continue to arrive as you make the space for more receiving. Loss, letting go and endings are inevitable in the months ahead. What parts of your self are you leaving behind? What parts of yourself are regenerating and regrowing? Ask the ancestors to support you in this process of cut, clear, delete in all areas of your life. Limitations may be felt with finances so clean up your relationship with money and upgrade your money management skills. Be clear with all forms of nourishment. You may have trouble being direct and focused in the months ahead. Try to be congruent in order to avoid conflicts. Where are you not being clear? Where are you avoiding important conversations? Think bigger and share your gifts in new ways, but keep it simple. You are learning how to let go even more. Clarify what you need for stability and support. Growth will come next, but not without making space for what you truly want and need. Take more care of your gut intelligence and your animals. 

Aquarius: Putting attention on your offering is worth your time and energy. It's time to expand in new ways. More gains are coming, but you must make room for what's arriving. What are you willing to let go of- in order to have space for what you truly want and need? Attend to power issues and gut intelligence. The shadow in your upper gut is creating constipation and power issues. Clear up what is keeping you stuck and work diligently with digestion. Pay attention to your children and your dharma as these areas of your life will be demanding attention. Self, path, purpose and visibility are asking you to clarify and upgrade. Get creative, use your hands in new ways, and attend to relationship losses. You are getting clearer on what you need right now- especially with friendships, siblings and your own path. It's ok to let go of what is not yours to carry. Lighten your load and allow more playfulness.

Pisces: Keep focusing on your dharma and gather the resources, support and guidance you need for a total path upgrade. Your offering and carer are going through immense shifts and changes. You need to share yourself in an entirely different way  moving forward. Get out of your own way and keep it simple. Clean up and clarify diet, speech, money and conflicts. Watch out for your knees and try to stay flexible. Get more congruent with your desires and your actions. Do what you say and keep moving towards your goals with conscious, determined choices. Focus more on home, heart, mother and land. The emotional body requires your diligent efforts in order to clear away the masks and illusions. Address your shadow and support the release process taking place. Ask your ancestors for more guidance and resource.


Ask for the help you need- in order to truly transform your life!

Why We Need the Shadow.

3/3/2019

0 Comments

 
Picture


The powerful transits of Rahu and Ketu last 1.5 years, dishing out our karmas in new ways with each move they make. As the shadows shift, we experience ourselves and the world very differently. This is an important part of how we grow and evolve. Always peeling back more layers and shifting focus and perspective. 

The Wisdom in Your Shadows

Our darkness, our shadow parts, are mostly an undesirable topic, one that most choose to avoid.

We may be good at speaking about our faults, personal issues and life problems, but this is not the same thing as willingly probing into your dark, murky, inner waters, your haunts, grief, fears and illusions. You may appear to be comfortable with your own darkness, and yet simultaneously, refuse to go deeper into it. In fact many people keep walking around and around the same darkness for years, lifetimes perhaps, with out making much change.

This refusal to go deep into your shadow parts and willingly face your deepest, darkest haunts and wounds, leaves you burdened with heavy loads that you never seem to be able to let go of or release. It's like blindly carrying an extra appendage with you. Oh how humans try to disguise this, cover it, deny its presence! And yet, this heavy, awkward limb is still attached, no matter how hard you try to pretend it doesn't exist.

Going into your shadows, requires a strong willingness, and a desire to go beyond your problems. It requires that you start asking "why is this happening to me?" over and over again. And then be courageous enough to seek the answers, the answers that are likely going to be painful, that will force you to change your life, that will expose your darkest secrets.

Just past the depth of your darkness, though, is the light. The gift. The gifts you so desperately seek. The gifts you long for are in fact hidden deep inside your shadow parts.


Most of humanity refuses their own darkness though, and even deny that these parts of themselves are in fact alive within them. But just because one is unwilling to look at their own darkness, does not make it unreal, or keep it from controlling them. These shadow parts are still ruling your life whether you choose to face them or not.

Spiritual by-passing is a real concern and causing increasingly disastrous effects these days. The denial, negation or avoidance of one's shadow can be truly dire. The use of spiritual resources, tools and practices to negate the shadow, challenging emotions, old stories and one's personal mythology, is increasing in popularity. Affirmations, meditation, yoga, religious beliefs, even an addiction to connecting to the spirit world, rather then staying in one's body, are all common place spiritual-bypassing techniques that most people are completely oblivious of.

Whenever the darkness is not integrated and unified with the light, the effects will not be balanced or harmonious. The shadow always seeks the light and the light will always return to darkness. This is a Law of Nature- as they are one and the same. Ultimately, Rahu can not be denied, nor Ketu- his counterpart in karmic liberation. One's jyotish chart shows where the shadow is seeking light and how it will bring your awakening.

The blessing of your courageous efforts and your willingness, is finding that within the darkest and most disturbing parts of yourself, you will actually find the missing pieces you are desperately longing for; your whole and empowered life. If you are truly willing to courageously look into your own shadows you will undoubtedly find the very gifts you so desperately long to receive. Your shadows in fact hold the gifts you seek for wholeness, for your dharmic giving, your offerings to the world, and for a meaningful life.

We all have resistance. Finding the resistance within yourself and within your life, will point the way towards your own shadow parts. Remember that the energy you use to resist your own darkness takes incredible energy to maintain, and is a drain to the vital life force energy that could be put to good use elsewhere. Energy you could put into living your one precious life- actualizing your dreams, taking bold, fulfilling action steps!


We each have an attraction and repulsion dynamic within us- a push and a pull. This attraction/repulsion dynamic is expressed through the energy of Rahu and Ketu. Everyone has this drive- a pull towards what you want, which is also very intimately intertwined with what you are resisting or refusing in your life and in yourself. Often what you want so strongly has an equal energy of repulsion or resistance connected to it.

What you desperately long for and desire is the core of your shadow work and points the way to all the pieces of your darkness. What you deeply long for is seeking you in other words. And it's hidden beneath your shadows. This shadow, and working with one's darkness in order to awaken, is the juxtaposition of Rahu (shadow) and Ketu (light) in ones Jyotish chart, and why Rahu is both darkness and compulsions, as well as desires and insatiable desires. Let Rahu drive you towards your own wholeness. Let him show you what you long for, what you need the most in this life, and let him also show you what you are resisting simultaneously.

Wherever Rahu sits in your jyotish chart (the house, the sign, the planets he interacts with, the nakshatra he resides in etc.) points directly to the main theme of your personal life story. Rahu and Ketu are quite literally karma points and they show you why you have incarnated into this body, into this life, and what you are here to learn. The dance of shadow and light, Rahu and Ketu, fully express your ability and your willingness to grow and awaken in this life time. Will you continue to resist your shadows, your darkness (Rahu)? Or will the compulsion to emerge from the illusions be strong enough to force your awakening and crack you open (Ketu)?

The power within the shadow is two fold. When you resist your darkness, you refuse and resist the healing and the medicine that your life has to offer. You are essentially refusing and resisting awakening to your most essential gifts. These gifts always reveal your dharma, your life purpose, your reason for being alive, and thus there is an immense reward for your efforts- if you choose to take on the task fully. However, it is not the path of ease, numbness, ignorance and denial. In order to awaken, you must invite in your shadow parts, continue to go deeper into your darkness in unending cycles, to dive for pearls of truth tirelessly- as though your life depends on it. It does.

This is why aligning with one's dharma, one's true reason for being alive, is not for everyone, and is in fact evasive for most people. For those who thrive on transformation though, the gifts are unending and continue to unfold. Artists, healers, and those here to share wisdom with the world, thrive on these cycles of transformation, change and growth. For us, our most vital task is embarking on consistent cycles of confronting and identifying our shadows and yet not get addicted to these cycles of pain, struggle, and torture. For those consistently working with their own shadows rigorously, remember to release and heal the vow that says "I am broken and will remain so."

The shadows, after all, hold your most potent power, and the wisdom you need for your life and your cycles of death and rebirth. The skill then becomes not just the willingness to go into your shadow, your darkness, but to also know when to let go of it, to release and shift into something new. Some will never walk into their shadows and bravely peel back the layers of their suffering and pain. For those willing to do this courageous work, you must also remember how to come up for air, to take a breath, to dance with both the darkness and the light, to heal and overcome the vow of brokenness, while continuing to bravely dance with your shadows cyclically.

Clients who come to me are walking this fine edge of wanting to awaken. There is a desire to know what their life means and how to overcome their biggest obstacles- and yet simultaneously there is a strong fear to look. This is the attraction/repulsion dynamic at play, a true expression of Rahu driving us towards answers, yet fearful of what we will find once we get there.


"If there is a fear of falling, the only safety consists in deliberately jumping."

Rahu and Ketu: The Gifts of The Shadows

Rahu and Ketu are not planets at all, they are mathematical points on either side of the Moon with rather significant implications for our life experience. The Moon is arguably the most influential part of the chart- indicating our experiences within the womb and our relationship with mother, as well as our inner nature. The Moon is our guide for emotional well being and our connection to our intuitive self. In fact, the Moon is so important to our life experience, the relationship the nodes have with the Moon indicates their impact on our emotional well being- among other things. Rahu and Ketu, the Moon, and the rest of the chart, all create our own unique stories, mythologies and individual karmic dramas. Read more about the importance of the Moon.

The nodes, as Rahu and Ketu are referred to, are mischievous in nature. They present our karmas to us in this incarnation. Without them, and their very valuable life lessons, we would not have incarnated into a human body. They are essential to this lila, this play of life, that we are involved with in this dimension. Both Rahu and Ketu have their own unique array of offerings, but because they are shadow "planets" they often evade prediction. Their nature is to deceive, mystify, to be illusive, and to blind us from our true nature. They represent forces that can't be seen and are the parts of ourselves that go unnoticed and unrecognized. When, and if, the shadow or veil of illusion is removed, and we do see what has been hidden from us, it is often extremely painful. Rahu and Ketu request that we ask ourselves: What am I not seeing or what am I not willing to see? What am I clinging to and unable to let go of?

In order to understand the nature of Rahu and Ketu, it helps to have a little background on how they came to be. In Vedic lore, Rahu (north node) and Ketu (south node) came into being during the famous story of the churning of the ocean of milk (the Milky Way). As the devas (gods) were creating this great churning, amrita, the nectar of immortality arose (think churning milk into butter). The devas, however, needed the asuras (demons) to help them with this task and they had to work together to get the job done. As the immortal nectar was created and obtained from this "great churning", Vishnu made certain that it was only given to the devas. However, one asura named Svarbhanu, outsmarted Vishnu and the other devas. He disguised himself as a deva and got in line to have a drop of the sacred nectar given to him. The story goes that he hid between the Sun and the Moon so no one would notice him.

Just as Vishnu poured a drop of nectar into Svarbhanu's mouth, the Sun and Moon recognized that he was actually an asura! Vishnu chopped him in half, but it was too late. A drop of the immortal nectar was already in his mouth! Thus the two halves, Rahu and Ketu were born. The head of the asura who ingested the immortal nectar became Rahu and the lower half, the body of the asura, became Ketu. Rahu and Ketu are the head and tail of the demon, often referred to as the serpent. A lunar eclipse is connected to Rahu- this happens when he tries to eat the Moon, but it falls right out of him. Ketu is connected to the Solar eclipse. 


This epic story is truly metaphoric on so many levels of life. It expresses the interplay of light and dark and how dependent they are on each other. These two facets of life are of course alive and well within our own nature. Thus the play of shadow and light becomes our dance in life as well.

Rahu is the head of the serpent and has an insatiable appetite for the material world (his cravings for obtaining the nectar) and intoxicants of all kinds. He brings shock and the dark side of life and he can bring sudden changes, upheavals, even quick boons. Where Saturn brings sorrow, sadness and grief- the natural darkness that is life- Rahu brings an intensified demented version of this darkness; he manipulates and obscures everything he touches. Addictions and confusion are Rahu's domain as well as disturbances and trauma. He does not allow us to think clearly and brings deceit and dishonesty with him.

That said, there are worldly benefits that come with Rhau as well. He can give money, profits and excesses from the material world. He loves the foreign and unusual, which can offer great learning and awareness as a result. Enjoyable and exotic travels can also come with Rahu. Professions that require lying, cheating and stealing (politicians for example) will get benefits from Rahu.

Where Rahu may give, Ketu takes away, and is responsible for "cutting the ties that bind us to the material world". If we are attached to it, Ketu can and will cut those attachments loose- eventually. That is his job- to help us realize intimately the impermanence of this life. He is highly spiritual and unlike Rahu, he is not interested in the material realms at all. He will either grant access to spiritual advancement or deny it. Ketu is connected to Ganesha, the remover of obstacles.

Since Ketu is just a body (no head) he literally has no mind. He can either show madness and complete craziness like schizophrenia, or certain zen states of no-mind which are more spiritual in experience. Ketu is a moksha planet, connected to liberation, letting go and deep surrender. Rahu and Ketu are always seven houses away from each other. They are always looking directly at each other, thus, whatever Rahu gives, Ketu will be sure to take it away.

The nodes are always moving against the direction of the other planets, in retrograde fashion. All the planets retrograde periodically (except for Sun and Moon) and when they do, they are said to be acting like Rahu and Ketu as a result. Our cravings, desires and fears are all connected to Rahu and Ketu. They instigate our pains, sorrows and drive us to take actions or no actions. They are our shadowed sides and will indicate what we are moving towards and away from in this life time. Thanks to Rahu and Ketu, we are guaranteed to grow in this life, but it may not be the enjoyable kind of growth. Trust that Rahu and Ketu are certain to bring enlightenment- in this life and next.

Rahu and Ketu Transit Leo and Aquarius: The Power of Willingness. {Part 1 & 2}

1/2/2016

2 Comments

 
Picture

The confusion around Rahu and Ketu's transit have started well in advance of their change to Leo and Aquarius. In typical lunar node fashion, there seems to be many discrepancies about the actual date Rahu and Ketu change signs. Many astrologers appear to be sharing different transit dates. Using very precise ayanamsa calculations from my mentor and the Jaimini jyotish tradition, my transit date is January 29th at 19:09 PST. (I use Mean Node calculations, i.e. no wobble.)

The effects of this transit have already been felt for weeks now, due to Rahu and Ketu being at the very edge of Virgo and Pisces, preparing to leap. This 1.5 year transit will be official on the 29th. Vulnerability has been arriving and a certain intensification of our personal mythology from the past year and a half has been arriving. Have you noticed where the challenges and themes you've encountered during 2015, are re-surfacing and provoking you right now? Notice where these challenges and overwhelm are effecting you on the mental and emotional body levels. These pieces of your story are being enlivened and charged, brought to the surface of your awareness, so you can more fully release and heal.

Often with major transits like these, we will feel the effects weeks, even months, in advance. Be gentle and kind to yourself right now and remember that others are likely feeling this too! The agitation, frustrations and overwhelm are likely being increased due to the holidays and new year. This season seems to amplify people's emotions- whether they are conscious of it or not.

Rahu will transit Leo until August 17th 2017 and Ketu will transit Aquarius during the same period. Always moving in opposition, seven signs away from each other, the lunar nodes bring us our karma in very tangible ways. In fact, if it weren't for Rahu and Ketu, there would not be a karmic reason for you to be alive in human form. The placement of Rahu and Ketu in one's natal chart very directly expresses the purpose and path of an individual in this incarnation. Study the lunar nodes in your natal chart for a very clear expression of your life purpose- as clear as the nodes can be.

The reality is that Rahu and Ketu are not straight-forward. Nothing they do or say is clear cut or easy to interpret. They are notorious for being confusing, vague, illusive and misinterpreted. If it weren't for Rahu and Ketu, life would run fairly smoothly!

Read more about about the nature of these karmic points below. For personal guidance and support, and to discuss how this transit will effect you, please book a session with me.



Working With The Shadow Intentionally
Our darkness, our shadow parts, are mostly an undesirable topic, one that most choose to avoid.

Most people are good at speaking about their faults, personal issues and life problems, but this is not the same thing as willingly probing into your dark, murky, inner waters, your haunts, grief, fears and illusions. You may appear to be comfortable with your own darkness, and yet simultaneously, refuse to go deeper into it. In fact many people keep walking around and around the same darkness for years, lifetimes perhaps, with out making much change.

This refusal to go deep into your shadow parts and willingly face your deepest, darkest haunts and wounds, leaves you burdened with heavy loads that you never seem to be able to let go of or release. It's like blindly carrying an extra appendage with you. Oh how humans try to disguise this, cover it, deny its presence! And yet, this heavy, awkward limb is still attached, no matter how hard you try to pretend it doesn't exist.

Going into your shadows, requires a strong willingness, and a desire to go beyond your problems. It requires that you start asking "why is this happening to me?" over and over again. And then be courageous enough to seek the answers, the answers that are likely going to be painful, that will force you to change your life, that will expose your darkest secrets.

Just past the depth of your darkness, though, is the light. The gift. The gifts you so desperately seek. The gifts you long for are in fact hidden deep inside your shadow parts.


Most of humanity chooses to refuse their own darkness though, and deny that these parts of themselves are in fact alive within them. But just because one is unwilling to look at their own darkness, does not make it unreal, or keep it from controlling them. These shadow parts are still ruling your life whether you choose to face them or not.

Spiritual by-passing is a real concern and causing increasingly disastrous effects. The denial, negation or avoidance of one's shadow can be truly dire. The use of spiritual resources, tools and practices to negate the shadow, challenging emotions, old stories and one's personal mythology, is increasing in popularity. Affirmations, meditation, yoga, religious beliefs, even an addiction to connecting to the spirit world, rather then staying in one's body, are all common place spiritual-bypassing techniques that most people are completely oblivious of.

Whenever the darkness is not integrated and unified with the light, the effects will not be balanced or harmonious. The shadow always seeks the light and the light will always return to darkness. This is a Law of Nature- as they are one and the same. Ultimately, Rahu can not be denied, nor Ketu- his counterpart in karmic liberation. One's jyotish chart shows where the shadow is seeking light and how it will bring your awakening.

The blessing of your courageous efforts and your willingness, is finding that within the darkest and most disturbing parts of yourself, you will actually find the missing pieces you are desperately longing for; your whole and empowered life. If you are truly willing to courageously look into your own shadows you will undoubtedly find the very gifts you so desperately long to receive. Your shadows in fact hold the gifts you seek for wholeness, for your dharmic giving, your offerings to the world, and for a meaningful life.

As I continue to peel back the layers of my own shadow, my suffering, my darkness and my illusions, I find more and more pieces that affirm my dharmic gifts, and my offerings to the world. As I continue to face my grief, my struggles, pains and disappointments, I am finding more and more answers for my pain and illusions.


I’ve learned (and continue to learn), that when I quit resisting myself, there is immense awakening available to me. This comes through ideas, creativity, clarity, awareness, silence, peace and even joy. The moments when I release my grip, let go, and surrender, I find how much energy I’ve been using to resist my self, my own nature. This is my own resistance to my shadow parts and it takes immense energy to maintain this resistance.

We all have resistance. Finding the resistance within yourself and within your life, will point the way towards your own shadow parts. Remember that the energy you use to resist your own darkness takes incredible energy to maintain, and is a drain to the vital life force energy that could be put to good use elsewhere. Energy you could put into living your one precious life- actualizing your dreams, taking bold, fulfilling action steps!


We each have an attraction and repulsion dynamic within us; a push and a pull. This is expressed through the eleventh house of the Jyotish chart, the house of pluses and minuses. Aquarius is an expression of the 11th house and offers many of the same challenges and resources. This attraction repulsion dynamic is also the energy of Rahu, the north shadow node, as well as the role of Rahu and Ketu in our charts. Everyone has this drive, a pull towards what you want, which is also very intimately intertwined with what you are resisting or refusing in your life and in yourself simultaneously.

What you desperately long for and desire is the core of your shadow work and points the way to all the pieces of your darkness. What you deeply long for is seeking you in other words. And it's hidden beneath your shadows. This shadow, and working with one's darkness in order to awaken, is the juxtaposition of Rahu (shadow) and Ketu (light) in ones Jyotish chart, and why Rahu is both darkness and compulsions, as well as desires and insatiable needs. Let Rahu drive you towards your own wholeness. Let him show you what you long for, what you need the most in this life, and let him also show you what you are resisting simultaneously.

Wherever Rahu sits in your jyotish chart (the house, the sign, the planets he interacts with, the nakshatra he resides in etc.) points directly to the main theme of your personal life story. Rahu and Ketu are quite literally karma points and they show you why you have incarnated into this body, into this life, and what you are here to learn. The dance of shadow and light, Rahu and Ketu, fully express your ability and your willingness to grow and awaken in this life time. Will you continue to resist your shadows, your darkness (Rahu)? Or will the compulsion to emerge from the illusions be strong enough to force your awakening and crack you open (Ketu)?

The power within the shadow is two fold. When you resist your darkness, you refuse and resist the healing and the medicine that your life has to offer. You are essentially refusing and resisting awakening to your most essential gifts. These gifts always reveal your dharma, your life purpose, your reason for being alive, and thus there is an immense reward for your efforts- if you choose to take on the task fully. However, it is not the path of ease, numbness, ignorance and denial. In order to awaken, you must invite in your shadow parts, continue to go deeper into your darkness in unending cycles, to dive for pearls of truth tirelessly- as though your life depends on it. It does.

This is why aligning with one's dharma, one's true reason for being alive, is not for everyone, and is in fact evasive for most people. For those who thrive on transformation though, the gifts are unending and continue to unfold. Artists, healers, and those here to share wisdom with the world, thrive on these cycles of transformation, change and growth. For us, our most vital task is embarking on consistent cycles of confronting and identifying our shadows and yet not get addicted to these cycles of pain, struggle, and torture. For those consistently working with their own shadows rigorously, remember to work with and to heal the vow that says "I am broken and will remain so."

The shadows after all, hold your most potent power, and the wisdom you need for your life and your cycles of death and rebirth. The skill then becomes not just the willingness to go into your shadow, your darkness, but to also know when to let go of it, to release and shift into something new. Some will never walk into their shadows and bravely peel back the layers of their suffering and pain. For those willing to do this courageous work, you must also remember how to come up for air, to take a breath, to dance with both the darkness and the light, to heal and overcome the vow of brokenness, while continuing to bravely dance with your shadows cyclically.

Clients who come to me are walking this fine edge of wanting to awaken; there is a desire to know what their life means and how to overcome their biggest obstacles- and yet simultaneously there is a strong fear to look. This is the attraction/repulsion dynamic at play, a true expression of Rahu driving us towards answers, yet fearful of what we will find once we get there.

As I continue to work with the shadow more and more in my own self development process, and also in my work with clients, I am becoming acutely aware of the reality that fear is really all part of the grande illusion of the shadow. Perhaps Carl Jung put it best,
"If there is a fear of falling, the only safety consists in deliberately jumping."

Rahu Transits Leo: Power and Passion Integrate with Force and Ease.

January 29th, 2106 to April 1st, 2016: Uttaraphalguni Nakshatra
April 1st, 2016 to December 9th, 2016: Purvaphalguni Nakshatra
December 9th, 2016 to August 17th, 2017: Magha Nakshatra


On January 29th at 19:09 PST, Rahu leaps into Leo, running right into retrograde Jupiter at the edge of this passionate, heart-centered sign. The corridor will be open wide with Rahu and Jupiter standing in the doorway of Leo (sandhi) at the edge, until Jupiter moves deeper into Leo days later. Rahu, however, doesn't move out of the 28 degree range until March. The netherworld will be activated and alive for most of February, supporting connection with the spirit world, liminal space and the transcendence.

Sandhi planets are vulnerable, delicate and powerful in their ambiguity. It's true, sandhi planets lack the grounding and stability that a planet who is clearly situated within a sign may offer. It is as though the planet hasn't fully decided if it is in the house that it is in. It is on its way in or out, but hasn't decided which one it will be. Its bags are still packed, boxes are still full, and it may not know if it's here or there. It's a traveler. It's in limbo.

This sense of here nor there, however, can offer some profound insights and awareness. Nothing is all good nor all bad, and this is quite true with sandhi planets. The gap offers us a connection to the mystical realms, the nether realms, and can offer great depth and awareness with what feels untouchable most of the time (or all the time depending on the individual). Planets that are sandhi offer potential, possibility, unique insights and depth as a result of their "otherworldly" connections.


The collision of Jupiter and Rahu in Leo will provoke an interesting dance between the god-self and human-self. Saturn gives his stern, forceful gaze to these two planets from his perch in Scorpio. This focused energy will add an extra layer of intensity to the already powerful force of Jupiter and Rahu. When the energy of Rahu and Saturn conjoin, a Rudra effect is stirred. This can bring power, potency and intense movement as well as quick changes. This combination increases the theme of working with power authentically and carefully which will intensify after Jupiter moves to Virgo in August.

Rahu and Jupiter invite an integration of opposing forces. Rahu is a demon who tricked the gods into giving him a drink of their immortal nectar. His craving for immortality, left him severed, chopped in half and still longing for what he could not have. Rahu expresses your human qualities, shadow nature and strong desires. His opposite is Jupiter- ruler of the devas, the gods. He encourages sattva, spiritual pursuits and pure knowledge.

As Rahu conjuncts retrograde Jupiter in Leo, there will be an adjustment phase for the coming weeks and months. This is a time for your inner god to meet your inner demon, your light to meet your darkness. These forces are at play within each one of us. What is your relationship with your darkness? With your light? This will be an opportunity to get more intimate with your modes of operation. Wherever you've been neglecting your darkness, spiritually by-passing, or avoiding it unconsciously, it will show up to test you and your power at this time.

Normally, Jupiter is a comfort and a support, yet the relationship between Jupiter and Rahu is contradictory. Your demon and god qualities will be forced to face each other in the first six months of this cycle. How can both get their needs met, in order for greater harmony within? Where have you been avoiding this integration of your human and god qualities? This is a great time to be aware of where you may be refusing to look at your human parts with authenticity. Simultaneously, spirit is a great ally and a wonderful resource for extra support. However, even spirit wants you to evolve as a human being. It's time to be a fully integrated human. Gather the resources you need for this process.

You may feel a tension between desires and "doing what's right", challenges and resources, darkness and light. This may also be a time where any spiritual by-passing you have created, will work its way to the surface- in order to be acknowledged and released. Darkness and challenges may also receive the gifts of nourishment, ease, comfort and extra support. Opposing forces will find a natural integration, harmony and new found balance. What resources and extra support do you need for more integration and balance?

Let chaos and calamity come in as a cleaning force. What is your relationship with your inner power? With the power of others? Notice your reaction and response to this energy. Do you step in, step out, gain consciousness or unconsciousness? Use your creative powers to shift and transform the intensity into a healing balm. Can you allow in more ease? Do you accept and receive support and resources to help? Where are you saying yes? Where are you saying no?

On August 11th 2016, Jupiter moves to Virgo for his year long transit through this earth sign, leaving Rahu alone in Leo. With the gaze of Saturn now solely on Rahu, without the buffering effects of Jupiter, this will increase Rudra's powerful effect. The last year of Rahu's transit through Leo will provide much work with power, authority, the masculine, passion, pleasure and your desires. Using your power in authentic and balanced ways will be vital. Misalignment with your power will become excruciating. Tolerance for those who misuse their power will lessen. Watch for righteous indignation, refusal to see others' opinions as relevant or important. Resistance, force and aggression may increase towards those with opposing views. Passions may flair and intensify. How are you using your immense power and strength?

Your heart wisdom is your biggest resource of power and strength. It's vital that you honor this part of your nature and learn to express your emotional body wisdom more authentically. Pride and the wisdom of the lion can be called upon for extra support. Let the spirit of the lion become an ally for you during this cycle. The bravery, courage and commitment to honor is encouraged. Let your fearless passion be used for positivity and channel it into worthwhile causes.

Be aware of over-working and being out of balance with how you use your inner fire and air elements. This is a combination for a lot of hot air to increase as well as fire to be blown around unnecessarily. Use this time-period as an opportunity to notice when you are in right-relationship with your power and when you are not. Can you sense this and feel it in your body? What experiences, relationships and actions support this feeling? Which ones do not?

Big movement, shifts and changes will be occurring in this cycle. What changes are you creating? How do you respond to these changes? How will you direct your sails?

Leo and Fifth House Matters


Attributes of Leo, the fifth house and its ruling planet, Sun, will provoke and increase themes related to these parts of your natal chart. Your relationship with Sun, Leo and the fifth house, will determine much of what effects you during this cycle.

Leo, or Simha, in Sanskrit is symbolized by a lion and connected to the fifth house in the jyotish chart. The qualities expressed by this sign are likened to its ruler, the Sun, and being seen in big, bold ways. Goddess Durga is often depicted riding a lion or tiger and is connected to strength, health, power and overcoming challenges. Her power is an invitation to strengthen ourselves during this cycle. Other themes arrive around leadership, dominance, authority and power. Leos often have to work with ego issues, their relationship with authority and power, as well as father issues and ancestral issues. The important body parts connected to Leo and the fifth house are stomach and abdomen, the seat of the solar plexus, our power center.

The fifth house is directly connected to our power and passionate- just like the energy of a Leo. It is also the house of children, creativity and creative life force energy, and the potency of procreation. Romance and lovers are also strong as a result of this energy. Since the stomach, or upper gut, is intimately associated with our instincts, this house combines with intelligence and intellect or buddhi, as well as the intuition. By extension, education and learning are fifth house matters as well as intelligence we gain through life experience- which can sometimes be formal, but not necessarily.

As Jupiter moves through the sign of Leo, many of these themes connected to power, creativity, romance, passion and being seen, will expand for us. Look for deepening awareness, wisdom and visibility with these areas of life as a result of this transit. The personal effects of this transit will be determined by your own Jyotish chart and how well Jupiter is able to express himself in your chart. Now is an ideal time to prepare for the upcoming transit with extra guidance and support, as well as having a Jupiter yagya for a smoother transition.

Shadowed Power

As Rahu and Ketu move into Leo and Aquarius on January 29th, 2016, a conjunction of Jupiter's purity collides with Rahu's shadow and confusion. Rahu has an intense appetite for worldly gains, has strong desires and won't take no for an answer. Jupiter's nature is one of gentle strength, expanding wisdom and pure intentions. Their energies oppose and negate each other. Wherever Jupiter is in one's jyotish chart, he enhances and supports the other grahas (planets) and the house where he is placed. He is after all a strong support and ally. Rahu, however, will ruin Jupiter’s satvic (pure) nature and destroys that which Jupiter values most. Jupiter may be able to soften Rahu, but Rahu’s nature taints Jupiter’s benefic, spiritual qualities.

With Saturn giving his gaze to Leo from his position in Scorpio, he gives his pressure to Jupiter and now Rahu in Leo as well. We get increased pressure, stress and tension with all matters of Leo as a result. The collision of Saturn and Rahu's energy in this powerful and dynamic sign will bring increased strength and potential, while simultaneously offering intensified storms and power issues.

This will be a time to temper one's worldly cravings, as they will likely be stronger and more excessive. We may notice an intense strength increase within us, while we also struggle with our sense of power and identity simultaneously. There may be extra challenges with authority figures, our fathers and those in support roles as a result. If we are in these roles, we may experience challenges and obstructions with regard to sharing our power, strength and passion- depending on the placement of these planets in one's natal chart.

Self identity and self awareness will be very prominent themes for this Jupiter/Rahu in Leo cycle. Finding increased growth, wisdom and nourishment for the ego will be a part of the transit as well. Children, relationships and romance will be important factors at play, as well as creativity and passion. However, the personal effects of this transit will be determine by your own Jyotish chart and how well Jupiter is able to express himself in your chart. The placement of the Sun, your 5th house and other factors in your natal chart will also play a role in the outcome of this year long cycle.

Ketu Transits Aquarius: Integrating and Balancing Opposing Forces.

January 29th, 2016 to August 6th, 2016: Purvabhadrapada Nakshatra
August 6th, 2016 to April 14th, 2017: Satabisha Nakshatra
April 14th, 2017 to August 17th, 2017: Dhanishta Nakshatra


Ketu is the moksha planet. He brings liberation, release and letting go. Usually this process is sudden, forced or traumatic. He acts quickly, like a flash of lighting and can fray and frazzle the mind, emotions and body, increasing sensitivity. Ketu symbolizes the spirit world and the ancestors by default. His ways are often harsh, yet necessary for letting go of the attachments of this human existence.

As Ketu shifts into Aquarius, he activates a Saturn and Rahu ruled sign. This dual rulership is symbolic of the Aquarian way. There is an integration of opposites to be had. A necessary balance that must be found. Saturn is your suffering and grief, while Rahu is the shadow and illusion that provokes this. Saturn is the physical body, a grounding force, the substance of the earth, while Rahu is decapitated, ungrounded and lacks stability. Ketu's movement through Aquarius can be a wake-up call that can instigate deeper healing, but it will likely not be accomplished with comfort and ease.

Humans cling and resist change due to past suffering. A false sense of comfort can lead you astray for years without attending to shadow, illusions or challenges effectively. Ketu is the antidote for the natural human tendency to grip. Yet, the release- whether sudden or slow- can be excruciating for most. Your ability to let release take place will determine your discomfort with the process. Can you let go and surrender? Or do you white knuckle it and intensify your grip? Wherever you are not willing to release, Ketu will bring his moksha tactics to force it.

With Ketu in Aquarius, an exchange of sorts will occur with Saturn transiting Scorpio. Ketu is considered exalted in Scorpio, while Saturn rules Aquarius. Ketu does well in Scorpio because it thrives on constant change and transformation- which instigates deeper awareness and growth. Saturn provides the stability and grounding that is vital for the ingenuity of Aquarius. This exchange will intensify the upheaval and growth process of this cycle. The challenge will be to find grounding resources and stabilizing forces in the process. Saturn insures that the physical body will be a valuable resource for this, while this combination will support deep somatic experiences and awakenings as a result. Use the physical body as a conduit for change, for healing and transformation. Let its messages awaken you.

Dr. Gabor Mate and his addiction studies have illuminated the reality that pain is the root cause of addiction. (This corroborates with the Jyotish understanding that Rahu is both addiction, cravings and the illusions that cause ones suffering). The brain craves more suffering to feel "normal" and tries to induce it through substances, experiences or choices in order for another "fix". The only way to break this cycle, is to lean into the pain and work with it, loosen its grip. As you work with your shadows, the illusions that increase your suffering, they can move towards the surface of your being. When darkness becomes evident, it can become light; it can be liberated.

Ketu instigates this process by breaking the darkness (Rahu) open so that the light can enter. Aquarius shows you where you are gripping and must release; what door needs to be closed so another can be opened. Just like the eleventh house, Aquarius poses pluses and minuses. Both express the silver lining of life when we are willing to release and let go. The gain can not arrive without the vital and necessary close of something else.

This cycle will request releasing, closing doors and letting go- in order for new doors to open and gains to be had. What are you willing to let go of? Where are you resisting? How can you lean in closer? Listen to your body wisdom for guidance and resources. Notice where there is gripping and tightening in the physical body. These points of pain, pressure and tenderness are places that request awakening. Places where the body has had to grip at some point in order to support you and stabilize you during challenges, struggles, pains and traumas. Lean in closer to these tender places and use them to help you awaken from your slumber. I'll be sharing more resources along the way to help you with this process.


Horoscopes for the Rahu and Ketu Transit
{January 2016 to August 2017}

*Horoscopes are based on your Vedic (sidereal) rising sign. You can also check your Moon and Sun signs for further insight. Do the same with your Navamsa signs for further clarity. Do not use these horoscopes with your Western sign (Tropical) as there is likely no correlation. These horoscopes are meant to be used as a broad overview of the current transits and obviously do not address the specifics of an individual’s unique chart.


Aries: Children, romance and pleasure become compelling and potent resources of growth for you in this transit. They provide you with new ways of experiencing your power and purpose. Your gut wisdom is a powerful resource for deepening your inner knowing. Trust it and get intimate with its messages. It has a lot to share with you about your self and will help you grow on multiple levels- including your dharmic work. Luck and gains come when you align more potently with spirit and spiritual resources. Relationships will require re-structuring and letting go. This is an opportunity for you to learn more about being in relationship. How can you clarify your needs and the way you show up for others? Find a new relationship with inner and outer balance.

Taurus: Spirituality is your offering to the world and this cycle is teaching you how. Pay close attention to the resources and support coming to you as these are gifts in disguise. If you aren't on your true path, there will be many challenges and difficulties. If you're neglecting spirit, your steps will be almost impossible. Let your spiritual body lead you towards your offering. The internet and computers, as well as photography, will all be helpful in order to share your message. Allow your heart wisdom to pull you closer to your desires and passions. Be truthful and honest about your need for pleasure and find ways to align with nourishment in more intimate ways. You will know it is nourishing by the way it makes you feel. Pay close attention to your emotional body wisdom and let it guide you.

Gemini: Creativity is your most potent resource in this cycle. Increase your creative courage. Work with your hands and learn their languages of creative intelligence. Dance, create music, paint and let this creative power move through you. Express, share and connect with new resources and relationships in order to broaden your horizons and expand what is possible for yourself. You are aligning with dharma more potently, more directly, so honor your path and say yes more fully. Spirit will help you with this process, but you must be willing to radically let go of all the things standing in your way. That which is not serving your highest purpose, your passions and your awakening. Be the example for others and share your message loud and clear.

Cancer: Nourishment is the driving force for you right now. Deepening inner nourishment and your sense of thriving are compelling- almost compulsive at times. You are learning more intimately what true nourishment actually is and how to create this in your life. Surrender to the messages- forcing will get you nothing but obstacles. What feeds you deeply? Mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually? Make sure your nourishment is well rounded and supports all levels of your being. There is increase with being fed by life- including money. This comes through your efforts and alignment with your life offerings, your dharma. If there is challenge and struggle, this is a message that you are not in right-relationship with your path. Make necessary adjustments. Simultaneously be diligent about clearing unconscious and subconscious patterns- the ones that keep you in lack, in malnourishment. Let spirit support this clearing and release. Ask for more support and listen to the messages. 

Leo: Let relationships awaken you. Find ways to let spirit into your relationships and honor the wisdom that is being shared. You are getting a wake up call so pay close attention to how you use the mirror being shown to you. Spirit will help you align with your needs and desires more closely. Lean in and listen carefully. The places that are painful and challenging are an invitation to release, let go and re-structure what is not working. You may find there's a lot of letting go of relationships, or finding new ways of being in them. Create new boundaries, new pathways, new possibilities for relating. Simultaneously, people are noticing you in new ways and you are being seen in more powerful ways. Get your priorities straight. Clarify your vision. Be bold in your self expansion. Work with the ego directly and you'll save yourself a lot of headaches.

Virgo: This cycle requires rest, ample alone time and radical release. There is liberation awaiting you, but not without effort and hard work. Dig into unconscious and subconscious inner terrain and acknowledge your shadow parts more directly. Learn from your heart wisdom, as it will show you the way. As you step into this path of deep inner work and powerful transformation, you are awakening your inner healing powers. Ask spirit for support with this process and gather the wisdom being shared to you from the inside. Let this be an offering to others. Share your inner wisdom and let it be a gift for others walking a similar path. You are not alone, even if it feels like it right now.

Libra: Gains and increase come from diligent steps and inner clarity, though it may feel hard to find. Connect with new and foreign people in order to expand your reach. You are learning a lot about your power and purpose. Grow with the obstacles and challenges. These are places where you are resisting or refusing gains and more support in life. Your gut wisdom and intelligence will be supporting this clarity. Clear, purge, release from the gut level- in order for greater clarity on all levels of your being. Get grounded, root into your physical body and first chakra- using legs and pelvis as a resource for feeling extra support and stability within. As you deepen your relationship with this feeling of stability, you can create more of it in your life.

Scorpio: Crack your heart wide open and say yes to the new. Radically release parts of you that are keeping your heart restricted. Where are you resisting this opening? Allow in the heat and pressure- lean in and surrender, rather than pushing against it. Your heart is awakening in new ways, which will help you feel the world in more incredible ways. Say Yes. Be clear with what you need both personally and professionally and then go for the gold. Get seen, noticed and heard. Be more visible with your work and your endeavors. Integrate worldly and spiritual pursuits. Foreigners and foreign lands may be fruitful. Expand your horizons and think bigger.

Sagittarius: This is a powerful transit for your dharma. Part of you will be strongly resisting your dharmic work, while the other part of you will be showing up more fully. Which part of yourself gets the most energy and attention? You are learning from your inner power. Some of it is harsh and brutal, while the rest of it is trying to show you a different way. Can you hold both parts and honor them? This is the recipe for stepping into a new relationship with your power. You will have to befriend your inner authority figure in more diligent ways. Lean in and listen closely to its needs. Get courageous with your creativity. Let go of relationships that are beyond repair, restructure those that need new boundaries. Attract more of what you do want by clarifying your power and purpose. Clearing the limiting beliefs holding you back will create the space you need to invite in the new.

Capricorn: You are in a powerful transformation process. The kind that starts deep within your being and digs up very unconscious material, then brings it to the surface for you to acknowledge. This hidden shadow material is keeping you from the deep nourishment you crave. As you dig deeper, as you face your challenges and inner conflicts head on, you will gain access to the pieces keeping you from more life force energy. This is the key to increasing your power, strength and vitality. All the hidden pain is keeping you dis-empowered and feeling the lack, rather than the potent abundance that surrounds you. Align with spirit for messages that can support your process. Listen to spirit for resources that will bring you a broader reach, more visibility and greater ability to heal yourself and others. These messages come from within. As you clear and release the old, you are creating more powerful space for the new.

Aquarius: This is a shedding phase. One that requires intimate release and radical letting go. Deep surrender is essential- either by choice or force. Right now you are being offered ways to re-structure your life, though it may be extremely uncomfortable. So many opportunities and possibilities are available to you, that you may feel crazy or overwhelmed at times. Grounding and landing in the body is essential. The ability to disconnect and disassociate from your body is too easy. Relationships will likely challenge your ability to stay connected to your self. There's a lot of learning taking place in this cycle with your relationships. Let the mirror of "other" teach you what you want and what you don't want. Make choices and create clear boundaries accordingly. The compulsion to be in relationship is strong, but that doesn't mean it's a good idea. Be selective, be discerning. 

Pisces: Healing is your primary focus in this cycle. Heal yourself and use this wisdom to heal and support others. Clear and clean your gut and colon, in order to clarify your inner awareness and deepen your ability to hear its wisdom. This is vital for your life's work, your offerings to the world. Clearing your gut will also strengthen your inner power and passion. Liberate and release on all levels of your being- physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. Simplify and settle into the silence within you. Deepen your relationship with spirit and honor Her wisdom moving through you. Ask spirit for resources to support you with your radical release process. Change your inner and outer environments so they are more harmonized with your need for sacredness.
