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

The first part of the week continues to support release, letting go and emptying out of the emotional body. What is rising to the surface to support your clarity and new awareness? What needs are you noticing with new exactness? A new cycle is taking place as Moon arrives in Aries midweek. Renewal and new possibilities arrive. Be clear about what you need and what your next steps are.

Two important transits also take place this week. The first one is Karma Yogi, Mars, shifting to Aries on March 1st, then Venus retrogrades late in the week. Reversals are coming with relationships, finances, creativity and vitality. There is also the potential for more decisive actions, choices and behaviors. Where have you been resisting that which you know you need, that which you crave for wholeness? Stop avoiding and start stepping towards your goals. It's time to achieve.

Moon in 2nd tithi
Dvitiya

As Moon continues to transit Aquarius, with Sun, Mercury and Ketu, all receive gaze from Saturn. There is contraction, compression and focus requested as the emotional body releases and transforms. Purvabhadra nakshatra requests balance. There is great potential available with this star, but not a great deal of action. Instead, use this time to hone and clarify your steps. Action comes next. Around noon, Moon moves to the final sign of the zodiac, Pisces, joining Mars and exalted Venus here. Retrograde Jupiter gives his gaze. Relationships are finding a new sense of order and alignment. What are you noticing about your inner relationship, your relationship with self? With your inner balance and harmony? Early evening, Moon moves to Uttarabhadra nakshatra. Ahirbudhnya is requesting more depth from you. Dive deeply into your unconscious terrain. What missing pieces are emerging today? You will need this information to clarify your next steps and align more clearly with your needs- especially in relationships. Clarify what is not working, and what you are calling in. Get specific.

Tuesday, February 28th
Moon in 3rd tithi
Tritiya

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

Wednesday, March 1st
Moon in 4th tithi
Chaturthi

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

On March 1st at 13:38 MST, Mars moves through the challenging gandanta (gap) of endings and leaps into a new beginning. He will be burning off the past two years of karma (action) as he steps through this portal. There are three of these poignant gandantas in the zodiac- all marked by the gap between water and fire signs. It takes approximately two years for Mars to cycle through the zodiac, roughly two months in each sign. This transit into Aries, marks a powerful beginning, an awakening into new possibility and potential. Aries is the first sign of the zodiac, and Ashwini is the first lunar constellation of the zodiac. As Mars enters this territory, it is a new beginning, a renewal, and also marks a clarity of action and purpose.

Thursday, March 2nd
Moon in 5th tithi
Panchami

Moon transits Aries and Ashwini nakshatra the first half of the day, provoking rejuvenation and healing to arrive. It's time for some extra self care. Attend to your needs diligently and lean into your emotional body intelligence. What is it telling you about your physical body needs? How can you help yourself ground more fully today? Anger is still showing up to help you purify and clarify your needs. Anger shows you where you know you deserve better, and also tells you that some part of you is ready to receive it. Get clear on the needs showing up. Next step is getting this need met and communicating your needs to others. Clarity in self, means you can find clarity with others.

Friday, March 3rd
Moon in 6th tithi
Sashthi

Yama rules the first half of the day, providing restraint, resistance, clarity and restriction. Where are you feeling the pressure show up? Just after Noon, Moon shifts to Krittika nakshatra, the star of digestion and transformation. Ruled by Agni, it is a point of fiery alchemy, insuring change, healing and something new will emerge. What are you digesting? What are you moving towards? What is ready to awaken in you? Early evening, Moon arrives in Taurus, and exaltation degrees. The emotional body is full, expansive and swelling. Let your emotional waves move through you. Find healthy ways to release your inner waters. Cry, yell, shout, talk, move your body and breath. Paint, sing, dance your emotional body awake!

Saturday, March 4th
Moon in 7th tithi
Saptami

Moon is moving through its favorite sign today, earthy Taurus, which stabilizes the ungrounded, always moving, nature of the Moon. Retrograde Jupiter gives his gaze, offering expansion, wisdom and new awareness. Late morning, Moon arrives in the creative, resourceful and abundant star, Rohini. This is Lord Brahmas star and by default includes his wife Goddess Saraswati. Together this dynamic pair beautifully expresses creative intelligence and the manifestation process. Saraswati brings the spark of intelligence and wisdom that is necessary to birth new ideas, visions and desires into form. Lord Brahma insures the ideas become manifest into form, into being. What are you birthing into being today? What ideas, visions and truths are awakening into form?

Venus begins her retrograde dance today which lasts from March 4th to April 15th- rendering her nourishing effects debilitated. Expect highs (exalted) and lows (retrograde) with all things Venus during this transit. The impact of Venus will effect relationships, finances, creativity, health and the feminine.

Sunday, March 5th
Moon in 8th tithi
Ashtami

Late morning, Moon shifts to Mrigashirsha nakshatra and expansion, extension and a broader reach arrives. What are you reaching towards? What goals, visions and desires are clarifying for you? The missing link between your desires and manifestation, is action. Where are you resisting powerful, clear action steps? Where are you repressing your power and purpose, by resisting powerful, potent action steps? Results come from action. Keep moving. As evening arrives, Moon shifts to Gemini, receiving gaze from Ketu and Saturn- contraction and sudden change. What is bursting forth within you? Where are you ready for dramatic changes and shifts? What is showing up to support your evolution?

Monday, March 6th
Moon in 9th tithi
Navami

Monday begins with powerful momentum and change as Ardra nakshatra arrives. Moon moves through this constellation, sparking the powerful forces of Rudra, the storm god. Notorious for swift, powerful action, Rudra brings guaranteed changes. What type of changes? This will depend on your relationship with your inner power and purpose. Ketu and Saturn continue to give their gaze to the Moon, which can make for painful and uncomfortable emotions and experiences. Contraction and grief, coupled with sudden change and loss. Where are you feeling the pressure? What are you releasing and letting go? Step into your powerful inner currents and go with the flow.

Sun in Aquarius

Sun moves to Aquarius at 07:46 am MST today, joining the restructuring planet, Ketu here. This is a healing transit, if you choose to look closely at your challenges, setbacks and obstacles. Resistance to your darkness will provoke more challenges, so best to surrender and lean in. The soul and the ego are going through a transformation in the cycle to come, which lasts until March 14th.

Allow yourself to be stripped, shredded and release illusions that are keeping you in the dark. Your ability to awaken from your slumber will be determined by your courage to look at your shadows. Do you know how to transform your darkness into light? Do you have the necessary skills to take your challenges and turn them into resources? Can you harness your immense creative power and use this for your awakening? This journey requires skills, awareness, guidance and support. It's time to upgrade your skills and resources in order to start getting some very different results. Staying stuck is no longer an option, but your resistance to asking for guidance and support will prolong the pain.

Relationships are a big part of this transformational process you are undergoing. Illusions about yourself are coming to the surface as you confront challenging parts of yourself. Lean in and look closely. What needs to be released in order for you to find a deeper, more sustainable inner strength and stability? What stories and illusions are keeping you resistant to self love and compassion? You are boundless, immense love. Why continue to withhold the abundance of Nature from yourself?! Why are you keeping the walls up, the resistance in place? It's now time to receive the nourishment of life more fully. What needs to change in order for more receptivity and empowerment?

***UPDATE ***

Sun shifts to Satabisha nakshatra late evening, February 18th. This is a game changer as Sun nears exact conjunction with Ketu. He'll be dropping through the tail of the serpent in the coming days/weeks, getting dismembered in the process.

In many ways, this is the finale after months of a Kala Sarpa yoga that has brought to light many masculine/father themes. As Rahu transits Leo (now in Magha, related to father's lineage and the ancestors), shadows connected to the masculine are surfacing.
Satabisha is a Rahu ruled nakshatra, which brings deception, illusion and uncertainty into awareness. Varuna rules this domain, and he is all-seeing, all-knowing- bringing with him a heightened critic and intense awareness. This can be turned outward or inward, or both. Remember compassion in the coming weeks- we will all need it. It will be easy to be overtly critical to ourselves and others, so try to be gentle and lean into your inner critic with loving-kindness as much as possible. What does your critic tell you about what you need? What is it asking of you in order to feel safe?

At the same time, this nakshatra can also provide very rich and powerful healing with it. All that intensive gaze and awareness can be put to good use. What are you noticing within that needs to change? Are you ready now to make some dramatic shifts in your life? Now is the time.

Not heeding to Varuna's scrutiny will only increase misery, pain and health challenges that can't be undone. Be very mindful of your health and body as Sun moves through Satabisha until March 4th. You may notice your health is more delicate and your body needs more TLC. Stay connected, grounded and embodied as much as possible.

As Sun gets cracked open, deconstructed and restructured (with Ketu's help) body and soul awaken to new possibilities. This will likely be uncomfortable, but trust the process. Your deepest truths and needs are coming to the surface. Honor the darkness that is coming to the light.


Mercury in Aquarius

February 22nd, mid morning, swift moving Mercury arrives in Aquarius- joining Sun and Ketu here. This marks the last planet that will conjunct Ketu after months of all planets being hemmed in between Rahu and Ketu during the Kala Sarpa Yoga. Though this malefic yoga technically ended once Mars shifted into Pisces weeks ago, the conjunction of Sun and now Mercury with Ketu, is significant. There is closure taking place and certain death to old mental behaviors and patterns. The mind will be disconnected, restructured and transformed. Think of this like an internal re-boot.

Confusion, uncertainty and challenges with mind, communications and all things Mercury may arrive in the coming weeks. Patience, slow steps and clear intention will be helpful, though the mind will be running faster than usual, and easily fried. Don't push or force yourself to perform. It's important to go slow in the coming days, though it will go against your tendencies. Slow down anyway.

Attend to grief and pain surfacing- don't cut and paste over it. There is an important shift taking place with your dharmic path, your life purpose. Pay close attention to your voice, speech and your inner wisdom. Speak your spiritual truth and stay close to your body. Retreats, meditation and alone time will be essential in order for you to land within your inner knowing. Retrace your steps, walk old ground and notice what wisdom is returning. What teachers, gurus and guides are re-turning? Return to old resources that you've forgotten. Ask for support and guidance in order to clarify and activate your dharmic path and purpose. Take meaningful action steps.

Maha Shivaratri

Shivaratri arrives just before the new Moon (Amavasya) on February 24th. This is a time of deep silence and strong potential. It is the marriage celebration of Shiva and Shakti, a symbolic union of wholeness- when the absolute unmanifest, conjoins with the pulse of life force energy. Masculine and feminine merge and create life- and the ability to manifest becomes amplified. From this place of union, we can ignite the power of being, the power of life.

Transformations abound right now- inner and outer. Are you paying attention to polarities in your life? What dualities are you aware of and what is needed for their integration?

This is a powerful time for meditation and reciting the Mrityunjaya Mantra:

oṁ tryambakaṁ yajāmahe sugandhiṁ puṣṭi-vardhanam ǀurvārukam-iva bandhanān mṛtyormukṣīya māmṛtāt ǁ


Shivaratri supports planting seeds of potential through the depth of silence. Shiva as destroyer, is at one with this awakened state of creativity. His role is to support your collapse into concentrated, focused alignment with the harmony of existence- that which is pure consciousness, deep, unaltered silence and awakening. This is where your creativity resides, your ability to manifest, create and transform- over and over again. Through the transcendence, you can easily touch this silence in its pure form.

Shiva reminds us to use this silence to release, simplify and transform. From a silent and awakened state, you can plant the seeds of life more intentionally and powerfully. Use your deep inner silence for stirring your creative desires. As the full Moon arrives on March 12th, the fertility festival, Holi, will activate your silent seeds, helping them become more fully awakened with the creative wisdom of Nature. What are you creating for your powerful life? What is your vision? Let your imagination move you into being. Create life!

New Moon in Aquarius

On February 26th, the new Moon takes place in Aquarius at 07:59 am MST with the annual solar eclipse and four planets transiting the medicine star, Satabisha. Amavasya is the empty Moon, or new Moon- ripe with potential, fertility and possibility. It is always connected to Pitr, the god of the ancestors, particularly the father's lineage.

There is an emptying out of the masculine taking place right now. A release is occurring in powerful ways. Lean into this process of letting go in order to maximize the healing potential arriving. Months of provocative themes have been emerging around the masculine, father, patriarchy and misogyny. Months of confrontation with power, strength, empowerment and the inner authority have emerged in brutal, challenging ways. Inner conflicts have intensified with the masculine and feminine. These themes have shown up in relationship dynamics, losses, pains and struggles, and with inner and outer needs. A new balance is arriving, but not without painful restructuring.

Mars in Aries

On March 1st at 13:38 MST, Mars moves through the challenging gandanta (gap) of endings and leaps into a new beginning. He will be burning off the past two years of karma (action) as he steps through this portal. There are three of these poignant gandantas in the zodiac- all marked by the gap between water and fire signs. It takes approximately two years for Mars to cycle through the zodiac, roughly two months in each sign. This transit into Aries, marks a powerful beginning, an awakening into new possibility and potential. Aries is the first sign of the zodiac, and Ashwini is the first lunar constellation of the zodiac. As Mars enters this territory, it is a new beginning, a renewal, and also marks a clarity of action and purpose.

Mars is the warrior planet; when in balance, he takes decisive action steps and empowered choices. When weak, actions, decisions and momentum falter. Mars will be in Aries, his own sign as well as his office (mulitrikona), until April 13th, which is a powerful time for clarifying your actions, choices and goals for the year ahead. This can be a cycle of gains and momentum if you align with it properly. It's a time to uproot relationships and behaviors that don't serve you, honor or support you. What do you need for greater stability and support- within your body, relationships and environment? Rahu will be giving his shadowed gaze to Mars during this transit, which can bring increased strength, or excess confusion. Don't lose sight of your vision at this time. The risk of self doubt and the strangling impact of the critic is high. This is an important time to seek clarity and focus, with your passion and purpose. What support, resources and tools do you need for greater support? What is working? What needs an upgrade? You will need to radically let go of the old, in order to fully invite in, and embrace the new. If it's not working, get rid of it.

Venus Retrograde

At 07:21 am on January 27th, Venus arrives in its exaltation sign, Pisces, joining Mars here. This will be an extended stay for Venus in its most powerful sign. Normally Venus transits are about one months long, but Venus will be here until May 31st. Part of this transit, Venus will be retrograde (from March 4th to April 15th) rendering her effects debilitated. Expect highs (exalted) and lows (retrograde) with all things Venus during this transit. The impact of Venus will effect relationships, finances, creativity, health and the feminine. Jupiter gives his gaze to Venus and Mars seven houses away, creating a necessity for balance between spiritual and material desires. Jupiter rules over the gods (devas), while Venus rules over the demons (asuras). These are the inner dynamics of all human beings- light and dark.

A new sense of balance is taking place within you, within your polarities and opposing forces- particularly the masculine and feminine principles. This is why relationships will be particularly poignant in this transit, as relationships mirror the self. Dharma is a powerful part of the coming four months as Moon, Sun and Sravana nakshatra are all on the horizon at the time of Venus's arrival into Pisces. Your dharmic path will require immense courage and bravery, but in fact there's much support arriving for you if you are willing to receive it. It's the heaviness and burdens that are in your way of thriving. Release the burdens that are holding you back and step powerfully into your creative intelligence. Speak, express and articulate through creative outlets. Share your wisdom with others and align with your highest truth.

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

Full Moon in Leo

The March full Moon is on the 12th at 08:54 am MST, while Moon is at the edge of Leo. Moon will be conjunct shadow node Rahu at this time and moving through Aryaman's domain in Uttaraphalguni. Aryaman is one of the 12 Adityas, meaning he brings resources, support and abundance on the material plane of existence. He is also known as the chief of the ancestors and that which pleases them- particularly through marriage, children and anything that continues the lineage. The Phalguni stars relate to love, sexuality and relationship. Perfectly timed, as the Vedic fertility festival Holi is taking place simultaneously.

More details coming soon!

Mercury in Pisces

As Mercury settles into its debilitation sign, Pisces, on March 10th, a mental body depression arrives. This impacts life path, purpose and a sense of progress. This depression with hopes, dreams and aspirations is impacted by the inner critic and past failures. Part of you doesn't trust your ability to succeed, so subconsciously there's a refusal to step forward. At the same time, this is powerful opportunity to look more closely at the mental thought patterns that are hindering your success, momentum and achievements. In order to unravel these unconscious parts of yourself, you will need extra support, guidance and resources.

There are ample resources arriving. Are you able to receive this nourishment? Or are you stuck in lack, refusal and resistance? Imagine all the support in the world lining up to insure you succeed, are fully nourished and supported. It's here, waiting for you! What is standing in your way of receiving all this abundance? Your old stories, mental programming and past failures will make it impossible to fully accept and align with the abundance of the universe. Use this cycle to clean up, release, attend to and purify the mental programming that has you locked in behaviors, choices and experiences of lack and malnourishment. It's time to upgrade your mind.


Sun in Pisces

On March 14th, Sun moves to the final sign of the zodiac, Pisces, at 05:40am MST. He joins Mercury and Venus here. Retrograde Jupiter gives his gaze, bringing expansion and integrity. This is a cycle of increasing courage, strength and empowerment by activating creativity and inner power. It's vital that you step into your creative intelligence with gusto and tenacity! Where are you slacking, playing small and refusing to increase the vibrancy of your life? What does it look like to upgrade your relationships, purpose and inner power? How does it feel to create a new, empowered life for yourself?

This cycle supports the release and letting go that will prepare you for an even more powerful awakening. Next step is Sun, exalted in Aries! Do everything you can to prepare now. What is standing in the way of your full power? What relationships keep you stuck in lack and disempowerment? Clean, clear, release. It is especially important to attend to this purging on mental and physical body levels. An increase in vitality is possible, as you clarify and purify old stagnation, toxicity and impurities. Lighten your load! Get grounded and clarify your next steps.

Late March, Sun and Venus collide, causing a combustion. Fire and water don't blend well and can end up scorching the vitality within. Your inner resiliency, life force, is extra delicate at this time as Venus retrogrades and debilitates at the same time as the combustion. This is an ideal time to attend to health, vitality, wellness and the physical body very diligently. A deep purification process is taking place- preparing you for a new Sun cycle. Radically release and purify.

Aries:
Here we go again
You're dancing with the fire
You're dancing with the Beast
You're still hungry-
I'll take you to the feast.

Here we go again
The rage is a craving
The thunder is your song
The power is misfortune
The misery is strong

Here we go again
The spirals and the chaos
The torment and the chains
No steps to the mirror
Oh! The Beast lives on.

Here we go again
I'm waiting with my palms
I watch you burn and writhe
I sing your laments
Still waiting for your dawn.

-Swati J. Miller

Taurus:
THE HOUSE OF BELONGING

I awoke
this morning
in the gold light
turning this way
and that

thinking for
a moment
it was one
day
like any other.

But
the veil had gone
from my
darkened heart
and
I thought

it must have been the quiet
candlelight
that filled my room,

it must have been
the first
easy rhythm
with which I breathed
myself to sleep,

it must have been
the prayer I said
speaking to the otherness
of the night.

And
I thought
this is the good day
you could
meet your love,

this is the grey day
someone close
to you could die.

This is the day
you realize
how easily the thread
is broken
between this world
and the next…

-David Whyte

Gemini:
It doesn't interest me if there is one God
or many gods.
I want to know if you belong or feel
abandoned.
If you know despair or can see it in others.
I want to know
if you are prepared to live in the world
with its harsh need
to change you. If you can look back
with firm eyes
saying this is where I stand. I want to know
if you know
how to melt into that fierce heat of living
falling toward
the center of your longing. I want to know
if you are willing
to live, day by day, with the consequence of love
and the bitter
unwanted passion of your sure defeat.

I have heard, in that fierce embrace, even
the gods speak of God.

—David Whyte

Cancer:
How do trees deal with injustice?
They grow a branch wherever they were cut.
And how do sparrows deal with grief?
They open their tiny wings and swoop at anything that glistens.
So why am I all cut & hungry?
Because I do not know the tree that is my soul and refuse the sparrow in my heart.

- from Finding Inner Courage by Mark Nepo

Leo:
Everyone who terrifies you is sixty-five percent water.
And everyone you love is made of stardust, and I know sometimes
you cannot even breathe deeply, and
the night sky is no home, and
you have cried yourself to sleep enough times
that you are down to your last two percent, but

nothing is infinite,
not even loss.

You are made of the sea and the stars, and one day
you are going to find yourself again. 

- F. Butler

Virgo:
"Once upon a time, when women were birds, there was the simple understanding that to sing at dawn and to sing at dusk was to heal the world through joy. The birds still remember what we have forgotten, that the world is meant to be celebrated."

-Terry Tempest Williams

Libra:
SWEET DARKNESS

You must learn one thing.
The world was made to be free in.

Give up all the other worlds
except the one to which you belong.

Sometimes it takes darkness and the sweet
confinement of your aloneness
to learn

anything or anyone
that does not bring you alive
is too small for you.

-David Whyte

Scorpio:
The Thing Is

The thing is..
to love life, to love it even
when you have no stomach for it
and everything you've held dear
crumbles like burnt paper in your hand,
your throat filled with the silt of it.
When grief sits with you, its tropical heat
thickening the air, heavy as water
more fit for gills than lungs;
when grief weights you like your own flesh
only more of it, an obesity of grief,
you think, How can a body withstand this?
Then you hold life like a face
between your palms, a plain face,
no charming smile, no violet eyes,
and you say, yes, I will take you
I will love you again.

-Ellen Bass

Sagittarius:
Be taught now, among the trees and rocks,
how the discarded is woven into shelter,
learn the way things hidden and unspoken
slowly proclaim their voice in the world....
Find that far inward symmetry
to all outward appearances, apprentice
yourself to yourself, begin to welcome back
all you sent away, be a new annunciation,
make yourself a door through which
to be hospitable, even to the stranger in you.

- David Whyte

Capricorn:
You do not have to be good.
You do not have to walk on your knees
for a hundred miles through the desert, repenting.
You only have to let the soft animal of your body
love what it loves.
Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mine.
Meanwhile the world goes on.
Meanwhile the sun and the clear pebbles of the rain
are moving across the landscapes,
over the prairies and the deep trees,
the mountains and the rivers.
Meanwhile the wild geese, high in the clean blue air,
are heading home again.
Whoever you are, no matter how lonely,
the world offers itself to your imagination,
calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting-
over and over announcing your place
in the family of things.

- Mary Oliver

Aquarius:
Praying

It doesn't have to be
the blue iris, it could be
weeds in a vacant lot, or a few
small stones; just
pay attention, then patch
a few words together and don’t try
to make them elaborate, this isn't
a contest but the doorway
into thanks, and a silence in which
another voice may speak.

- Mary Oliver

Pisces:
What To Do In Darkness

Go slowly
Consent to it
But don't wallow in it
Know it as a place of germination
And growth
Remember the light
Take an outstretched hand if you find one
Exercise unused senses
Find the path by walking it
Practice trust
Watch for dawn

- Marilyn McEntyre

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

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

Monday, January 23rd
Moon in 12th tithi
Dvadasi

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

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

Tuesday, January 24th
Moon in 12th tithi
Dvadasi

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

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

Moon in 13th tithi
Trayodasi

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

Moon in 14th tithi
Chaturdasi

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

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

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

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

Moon in 15th tithi
Amavasya

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

At 07:21 am, Venus arrives in its exaltation sign, Pisces, joining Mars here. This will be an extended stay for Venus in its most powerful sign. Normally Venus transits are about one months long, but Venus will be here until May 31st. Part of this transit, Venus will be retrograde (from March 3rd to April 15th) rendering her effects debilitated. Expect highs (exalted) and lows (retrograde) with all things Venus during this transit. The impact of Venus will effect relationships, finances, creativity, health and the feminine. Jupiter gives his gaze to Venus and Mars seven houses away, creating a necessity for balance between spiritual and material desires. Jupiter rules over the gods (devas), while Venus rules over the demons (asuras). These are the inner dynamics of all human beings- light and dark. A new sense of balance is taking place within you, within your polarities and opposing forces- particularly the masculine and feminine principles. This is why relationships will be particularly poignant in this transit, as relationships mirror the self. Venus and Mars will be conjunct until March 1st, sparking heat, passion and tenacity with your inner creativity, relationships and finances. Clarify your needs and intentions and watch for explosive, overly idealistic pursuits. Dream big, but be sure to put your dreams into action with concrete steps and goals or you'll be wasting the potency of this cycle.

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

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

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

Saturday, January 28th
Moon in 1st tithi
Pratipad

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

Sunday, January 29th
Moon in 2nd tithi
Dvitiya

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

Monday, January 30th
Moon in 3rd tithi
Tritiya

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

Mercury Direct in Sagittarius

Mercury goes direct in Sagittarius on January 8th. Mercury transits Sagittarius for an extended stay, starting on November 28th. The entire transit will last until February 3rd, an unusually lengthy dance of forward and backwards for this swift moving planet. Mercury will retrograde on December 19th for roughly three weeks, until January 8th. This prolongs his stay in the fiery sign of Sagittarius, who is fortunately a friend. Retrograde planets increase the strength of the planet and its indications, expressing themselves more as the nodes do- with excess, confusion and intensity.

As Mercury arrives in Sagittarius at the end of November, he also lands in Mula Nakshatra. This constellation is notorious for sparking change, transition, release and uprooting. As the planets continue to move through this portion of the sky (Sun next, then Saturn in the first part of 2017) inevitable shifts take place. Mercury will be in Mula for a lengthy stay in the coming months, moving in and out of this challenging gandanta of change. Mercury will leave Mula for the first time on December 8th, but will return on December 28th for over three weeks, until January 21st of 2017. The dance of Mercury in and out of Mula, will provoke deep mental body changes and challenges in the coming months. This is a powerful opportunity for uprooting old, outdated personal mythology with all things Mercury. This includes communication, connections, commerce, business, money, creativity, writing, computers and all resources of connection.

This transit of Mercury impacts the mental body, the mind, stirring a change process that impacts relationships, money, the feminine and creative powers. The cycle ahead supports change towards nourishment, fluidity and ease. An ability to arrive in the love and stay oriented towards the heart is possible- with courage and commitment. Get clear on what works for you and what doesn't. Communicate your needs authentically and purposefully, but through loving kindness. Work towards clarity with your inner authority and notice when you go against your needs out of fear or a misuse of your power.

Use this cycle to step into your creative powers more fully and bring more beauty into your home and heart. Seek balance- inner and outer. Move closer to your emotional body and deepen your feminine wisdom. Say yes to integration of fluidity and structure. Find your middle ground. Land and reconnect. 

Full Moon in Gemini

The January Purnima (full Moon) day is on Thursday, January 12th as the Moon travels through Punarvasu nakshatra, but at the edge of Gemini. Sun and Mercury give their direct gaze to the Moon at this time. The full Moon is at 04:34 am MST with Saturn and Scorpio on the Eastern horizon at this time. Aditi brings her blessings of abundance, nourishment and support- through resources, wisdom and wholeness. The coming cycle brings Mercurial resources and support, but will require unraveling the challenges, chaos and confusions of your mental body in order to gain the rewards. Align with spirit, get quiet, listen carefully. Meditation will be an important resource in the coming days to help you clarify your purest intentions and gather the insights and wisdom that Aditi provides.

Sun in Capricorn

Sun shifts to Capricorn on January 13th at 18:46 MST, beginning a new cycle of increased light and brightness- inside and out. As Sun arrives in Makara, an Earth sign, a steadiness and work oriented dynamic is enlivened. Jupiter gives his nourishing gaze to the Sun (both friends), although Jupiter's debilitation sign is Capricorn. Increased support and strength begins to shine more brightly- with relationships, support, resources and connections.

Saturn gives his gaze to Capricorn (his own sign) and Jupiter as well, bringing increased balance and integration between expansion and contraction. When Jupiter and Saturn align, great balance is possible. This supports an integration and harmony with the Sun, your power source. Challenges with power, authority, the masculine and father have the opportunity to find resolution and new resources in the coming cycle. It's time to step out more powerfully, to align with your purpose more intentionally and strengthen your dharmic steps. This will require you honor your power, your light, and your inner masculine energy with more clarity, focus and commitment.

Make an intention this month to build a deeper relationship with your heart, and to engage in relationships with a more heart-centered approach. Strengthen your compassion and loving kindness and see what you attract and how you draw it closer. Watch your words- harmonize thoughts and expression. Think before you speak and make sure what you are saying is both truthful and kind.

Look closely at fears and shadows that are keeping you in lack, malnourishment and scarcity. As the light increases, look closely at parts of yourself that are resisting the brightness. Fears about comfort, support and stability are rising to the surface. Notice what is keeping you from your power.

Makar Sankranti

January 14th is the auspicious Vedic celebration of Makar Sankranti. This marks an important movement towards a more auspicious time of year (spring and a time of growth) in the Vedic calendar. This day of the Sun's movement into Capricorn is named Makar Sankranti. Interestingly, unlike the majority of Vedic celebrations which are calculated by the placement of the Moon, this celebration is calculated by the position of the Sun. Sun is connected to father, knowledge, power, the Soul and the light within. As Sun will be in transition and considered sandhi (in the gap/the in between realms) until Sunday, we may notice a slow start to the new light. Get organized and be methodical in your approach to work and your own shining. This is a powerful time to set intentions and goals for the 2017 in order to have a rich harvest.

Mars in Pisces

Mars moves to Pisces on January 20th just as the day begins. He shifts out of conjunction with the Ketu- who has brought sudden and sharp changes over the past few months. Mars in Pisces supports passion, creative and relational potency, as well as clarity with liberation. Expect momentum and courage with release and letting go, while strengthening your resolve, inner embers, passion and the fire of life. Endings naturally support openings. What are you ready to clear, release and let go of? Pisces is the final sign of the zodiac, while Mars is the passionate and fiery planet with a warrior spirit. This is a potent combination for going after your dreams.

This is a potent transit that supports clarity and healing. It will require confrontation and may provoke conflict with regard to relationships, imbalances and lack of alignment with your self. Change is inevitable with this transit. What direction are you headed? Get really clear about your needs and don't get lost in the winds of change. There is a tendency to feel turmoil, overwhelm and chaos. This is a choice. Take your power back and get clear on your needs so you can align with right action and more support. Spiritual resources and counsel will be important to help you get the clarity and guidance you need. Align with the ancestors and let them help you right now. Changes are taking place- inner and outer. Are you allowing these changes to take place or resisting the transformation? Don't try to do this alone. This metamorphosis requires more holding, guidance and support so you feel safe to fully emerge.

Saturn in Sagittarius

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

Venus in Pisces

At 07:21 am on January 27th, Venus arrives in its exaltation sign, Pisces, joining Mars here. This will be an extended stay for Venus in its most powerful sign. Normally Venus transits are about one months long, but Venus will be here until May 31st. Part of this transit, Venus will be retrograde (from March 3rd to April 15th) rendering her effects debilitated. Expect highs (exalted) and lows (retrograde) with all things Venus during this transit. The impact of Venus will effect relationships, finances, creativity, health and the feminine. Jupiter gives his gaze to Venus and Mars seven houses away, creating a necessity for balance between spiritual and material desires. Jupiter rules over the gods (devas), while Venus rules over the demons (asuras). These are the inner dynamics of all human beings- light and dark.

A new sense of balance is taking place within you, within your polarities and opposing forces- particularly the masculine and feminine principles. This is why relationships will be particularly poignant in this transit, as relationships mirror the self. Dharma is a powerful part of the coming four months as Moon, Sun and Sravana nakshatra are all on the horizon at the time of Venus's arrival into Pisces. Your dharmic path will require immense courage and bravery, but in fact there's much support arriving for you if you are willing to receive it. It's the heaviness and burdens that are in your way of thriving. Release the burdens that are holding you back and step powerfully into your creative intelligence. Speak, express and articulate through creative outlets. Share your wisdom with others and align with your highest truth.

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

New Moon in Capricorn

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

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

Read more about the new Moon in Capricorn.

Mercury in Capricorn

Mercury lands in Capricorn at 00:33 MST on February 3rd, 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?

Remember, aligning with 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. Everything else is just a distraction or a mechanism of avoidance, resistance or refusal to change. Gains come through your powerful momentum and willingness to change, move and grow. Reach, extend and awaken parts of yourself that have been dormant. Take a risk. Put your hearts desire into action and don't look back.

Relationships are a vital part of this transit, which lasts until February 22nd. Clarify, motivate, expand and transform your connections and partnerships. There is immense strength available in this cycle, but you'll need to gather support, resources and your connections in order to make the most of it. Build your team and alliances as there are strength in numbers. 

Full Moon + Eclipse

A rare triple impact full Moon takes place on February 10th. This Cancer full Moon occurs with a penumbral lunar eclipse and a comet sighting shortly after, though barely visible from earth. Three cosmic events open the delicate two week eclipse portal.

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

Sun in Aquarius

Sun moves to Aquarius at 07:46 am MST today, joining the restructuring planet, Ketu here. This is a healing transit, if you choose to look closely at your challenges, setbacks and obstacles. Resistance to your darkness will provoke more challenges, so best to surrender and lean in. The soul and the ego are going through a transformation in the cycle to come, which lasts until March 14th.

Allow yourself to be stripped, shredded and release illusions that are keeping you in the dark. Your ability to awaken from your slumber will be determined by your courage to look at your shadows. Do you know how to transform your darkness into light? Do you have the necessary skills to take your challenges and turn them into resources? Can you harness your immense creative power and use this for your awakening? This journey requires skills, awareness, guidance and support. It's time to upgrade your skills and resources in order to start getting some very different results. Staying stuck is no longer an option, but your resistance to asking for guidance and support will prolong the pain.

Relationships are a big part of this transformational process you are undergoing. Illusions about yourself are coming to the surface as you confront challenging parts of yourself. Lean in and look closely. What needs to be released in order for you to find a deeper, more sustainable inner strength and stability? What stories and illusions are keeping you resistant to self love and compassion? You are boundless, immense love. Why continue to withhold the abundance of Nature from yourself?! Why are you keeping the walls up, the resistance in place? It's now time to receive the nourishment of life more fully. What needs to change in order for more receptivity and empowerment?

Aries: Children, romance and gains continue to be vulnerable, so don’t drop your guard. These areas of your life need your focus and attention. Be diligent. Career is powerful and activated as Sun transits your 10th house. Take consistent action, get noticed and step into your power more fully. Continue to focus on health and healing. Share your wisdom with others, but get more support for your needs as well. You will need to balance rest and activity, outer and inner, in the coming weeks. Make sure you don’t neglect your meditation and alone time, while simultaneously being courageous and powerful in your career. Outer depends on inner. Saturn’s shift into Sagittarius brings your focus to dharma. Seek deeper alignment with your soul’s purpose in 2017. Dissatisfaction sets in with anything that doesn’t fulfill your passion and true calling in life. Clarify what truly nourishes you.

Taurus: Heart, home and emotions continue to get your focus, while career demands your attention. You are learning to step into your power more fully and learning from power, playfulness and desire. Step out and be seen, be heard and get recognition for your wisdom. Dharma is your focus right now. Shine the light on your path, and let your path be more aligned with the light. Gains are coming. What are you prepared to do in order to get more support? Let go of the past in order to hold more of what you want and need. As Saturn shifts into your 8th house for most of 2017, you will be working diligently with your subconscious and unconscious terrain. Dive deeply and release the undigested grief that lurks in your shadows.

Gemini: Keep working on your courage and bravery, as well as your creative powers. Expand and open your heart, while learning how to balance boundaries and inner needs. This is a time of pause and honoring your darkness. As Sun transits your 8th house, it’s time to turn the light on your unconscious inner landscape and look at your shadows directly. What is keeping you from truly awakening your dharmic path and purpose? What is holding you back from truly shining and being seen? Gains are coming, but you must clear space for the abundance to nourish you. As Saturn shifts into your 7th house of relationships for the majority of 2017, chaos comes in the form of the “other”. This is a powerful time of growth as you look into the mirror more directly. Clear relationship grief, past hurts and pain. Make room for more of what you truly want and need in your life- the type of relationships that can fully support you on every level of your being.

Cancer: Watch your speech and focus on getting the nourishment you need. This comes from diving deeply into your unconscious inner terrain. There are parts of yourself that need to be woken up. These very hidden parts of your being are sharing their wisdom with you right now so that you can get your needs met in more nourishing ways. Lean in and listen- especially to the discomfort. Relationships are lit up right now, helping you find more compassion and light through others. Open your heart and step out of your comfort zone. It’s time to learn more about how to be in right relationship with yourself and others. Upgrade your skills and ask for more support and guidance. As Saturn shifts into your 6th house for the coming year, you will be asked to look more directly at your inner conflicts. Healing is required in a big way. Don’t try to do this alone. Seek new resources, guidance and support.

Leo: You are trying to expand and grow, and at the same time feeling very challenged by it. Your head is in the shadows and it’s hard to see where you’re going right now. Relationships are requiring your diligence and helping you awaken to yourself in new ways. This is a time of shining the light on your conflict zones. What are you resisting and refusing to change? Where are you stuck? Nourishment on every level is required right now. How do you refuse the food of life? Where are you saying no to the very things you long for? As Saturn moves to your 5th house for the majority of 2017, grief and heaviness can settle in. Do what you can to stay playful and light, while also remembering to allow the waves of sadness to move through you. Don’t bypass or neglect your emotions. Seek balance with inner and outer.

Virgo: This is a powerful time of self growth and inner expansion. What are you learning about yourself? What are you learning from your relationships? Great healing is possible right now, when you look at your inner conflicts and challenges directly. Cut, clear and release the parts of you that are in battle with the nourishment you long for. You don’t have to resist any more. Address your fears head on. Awaken your power, purpose and potential. What is keeping you stuck and playing small? Relationships become a powerful resource of nourishment and expansion in the coming months. Are you ready to receive? As Saturn moves to your 4th house for the majority of 2017, more balance within your head and heart arrives. There will be chaos with home and heart as well. Stay grounded and connected to your emotional body wisdom as much as possible. Clear the heart and release the pain. You don’t need it as much as you think.

Libra: Relationships continue to bring confusion and fascination. What are you learning about yourself? Open your heart and look within. The answers you seek and the uncertainty you are confronting requires your willingness to dive deeper. Sun is bringing light to your heart wisdom right now. Activate bhakti (devotion) and lean in closer to your feelings, emotions and inner waves. Don’t hold back this power. Healing past relationship wounds is vital for attracting more harmony and nourishment from your current and future relationships. Do your grief work and let the pain digest fully. Time alone, on retreat and in meditation will serve you well. As Saturn shifts into your 3rd house for the coming year, courage and bravery will beckon you. This is a call for more dharmic alignment. It’s time to activate your creative powers and true passions. Where are you resisting these truths?

Scorpio: Radically step into your courage and creative power and don’t hold back! Go for what you long for and activate your biggest desires. Where are you playing small and resisting the nourishment of life? Your heart wisdom continues to guide you and awaken you to life and living. More thriving is on the way, so make room for the abundance. Release, let go of, and separate from the parts of you that keep you playing small, in lack. Allow yourself to be fed by joy and pleasure. Can you receive the gifts of your efforts? As Saturn moves to your 2nd house for the majority of 2017, your focus is on nourishment and uprooting the parts of yourself that have systemically kept you in lack. Clean up your relationship with food, finances and speech. New pathways and structures with sustenance are on the way. Stay true to course by peeling back the layers of your limiting beliefs.

Sagittarius: There is such a longing to be clear on your path and purpose, and yet so much confusion surfacing simultaneously. Continue to seek resources and support to align with your dharma and get radical about this desire. This is taking great courage and commitment- stay true to your hopes, dreams and passions. The heart is a powerful resource for your clarity and truth in the coming month. Listen and awaken through your heart wisdom. Share this with others and speak your truth and light. Shine brightly! As Saturn moves to your first house for the majority of 2017, you enter a powerful cycle of transformation and change. Use this time to radically release parts of yourself that are no longer serving you. Seek spiritual resources to help you expand and grow your consciousness. Ask for guidance and support with your journey. You are restructuring yourself from the inside out.

Capricorn: The light bulb is on in your head! You are shining brightly and people are taking notice. Where are you directing your powerful light? Do this with deep intention and don’t squander this auspicious time. Get clear on your needs for nourishment and speak your truth loud and clear. Your dharmic work is activating and taking on new shapes and forms. Teach, share and get noticed for your innate wisdom. Creativity is about to take a powerful upswing. Step into your creative powers more fully and say yes to your courage and body wisdom. Move, create, express and paint your dreams into reality! As Saturn moves into your 12th house for the majority of 2017, retreats, alone time and release are deeply important. This is a powerful restructuring of your dharmic path. Ask the ancestors to support this process and get rid of anything standing in the way of your path.

Aquarius: Relationships are still causing confusion and uncertainty, as well as growth and wisdom. You are learning a lot about yourself in the process and gaining new awareness along the way. It’s time to cut the cords and separate from people and situations that cause you pain and suffering. These are parts of yourself that need to be healed and looked at more closely. As you look in the mirror and acknowledge your own shadows, you can also release your attachment to the pain they cause. This requires owning your shadow parts and letting them teach you their wisdom. Be still, meditate, find time alone and quiet the mind. As Saturn moves to your 11th house for most of 2017, structured gains arrive as well. You will be learning how to release and let go, so you can make space for more of what you truly desire. Learn the art of letting go and get clear on what you’re calling in.

Pisces: You are learning and growing from relationships and beginning to understand what you deeply need for support, stability and safety. Gains come from your clarity, although it’s taking courage. Expansion and resources are arriving to help you feel more abundant. Be open to receiving on multiple levels and allow the prosperity to flow. What is blocking you from receiving fully? Where are you shutting off your ability to attract, align and receive the nourishment you need? Gains come from you shining brighter and showing up in more visible ways. How can you shine even brighter? What is in your way and holding you back? More abundance is coming so be open to receive and make room for even more nourishment. As Saturn moves to your 10th house of career for the majority of 2017, put a powerful foot forward. Changes are coming with your career and purpose. Expect some restructuring and clarify what you really want to use your power for. Let go of the places you waste your energy unnecessarily. Hone in on your life purpose and dharmic vision. It’s time to activate!

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

Monday, March 28th
Moon in 6th tithi

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

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

Tuesday, March 29th
Moon in 7th tithi

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Saturday, April 2nd
Moon in 10th tithi

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

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

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

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

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


Sunday, April 3rd
Moon in 11th tithi

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

Monday, April 4th
Moon in 12th tithi


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

As the silence of spring arrives, a certain dynamic energy is awakening. The ‪eclipse portal‬ is sealing. The full ‪‎Moon‬ and lunar eclipse‬ are behind us. The ‪Holi‬ festivities are winding down. The soil has been cleared. The seeds have been planted. Make your process intentional. Bring awareness to your growth. Own and honor this fresh start!

For many the past few weeks were an opportunity to pull up weeds, move through grief and transform in heal in order for lasting changes. This is a powerful time of awakening. As spring settles in for the Northern Hemisphere (fall in the Southern Hemisphere) there is a sacred gap opening.

No matter the hemisphere you are in, both spring and fall are considered "sandhi" times of year- or in between seasons. These are sacred times, when the veil is thin, sensitivity is heightened. In Ayurveda, we attend to necessary physical rituals that help the body cleanse and purify. Holi comes at this sacred junction and is a time to "plant seeds" so to speak. It is a celebration of fertility, abundance and the awakening of Shakti within Nature. It is the marking of the gap, which is ripe with potential and possibility.

The full enlivening of Ma is celebrated during Vasant Navaratri- the nine days of Mother Divine, beginning on the 7th of April this year. Consider Holi the "kick off" celebration in many ways- a time to plant your desires and create your fruits for the coming year. Let this Full Moon enliven a sense of spring and possibility. Use this week's Creative Engagement activity (below) for your cultivation process.

Saturn Retrograde

Saturn goes retrograde in Scorpio at 02:50 am PDT and will be moving in reverse until August 13th, 2016. Retrograde planets act like the nodes Rahu and Ketu, which adds to the intensity of how a planet will express themselves.  As the slowest moving planet, Saturn causes the most prolonged challenges. It's important to play by his rules and honor his requests for slow, steady action, simplicity and alignment with nature's rhythms.

His transit through Scorpio is digging up very old grief, emotions and challenges- connected to subconscious and unconscious territory. This cycle is ultimately an opportunity for very powerful, deep and lasting transformation and healing for the psycho-emotional levels of your being. His retrograde motion will be felt on the days leading up to his reversal, amplified by the penumbral lunar eclipse and full Moon. As he retrogrades back through Scorpio, he will move closer to Mars, instigating further frustrations and outbursts due to the opposition of the nature of these planets. Once Mars retrogrades on April 16th, there will be two strong forces moving backwards in Scorpio. Studying the placement of Saturn and Mars in your natal Jyotish chart will offer more details about how this retrograde motion will effect you.

Scorpio is your unconscious inner terrain. It's your vulnerability, animal nature and your wild feminine within. The simultaneous retrograde motion of Saturn and Mars will provoke fierce internal change, transformation and healing- but you must be willing to do the work. Mars is action-oriented, yet Saturn can bring resistance, avoidance or contraction. It will take vigilance to find a balance between these energetic polarities within.  Conflicts will be on the rise right now, so notice where your inner polarities are causing confusion, challenge, uncertainty, overwhelm and even resistance to move forward. Finding integration, harmony and balance for these inner conflicts will be vital for smoother sailing in the weeks and months ahead.

Venus in Pisces

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

As Mercury moves out of Pisces and into Aries on April 2nd, Sun and Venus also separate in degrees, causing your life force energy to flow more fluidly. Once Sun shifts to its exaltation sign on April 13th, there will be a ten day window where both Venus and Sun are at their most potent. This lasts until Venus shifts to Aries on the 24th of April. It is a potent time for increased energy, momentum, strength and vitality. Use the coming weeks to prepare. Take timely, methodical action steps in preparation of the ripening energy of the planets.

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

Step towards your creative potential and expand your container in order to hold more nourishment and support. Work directly with blockages and obstacles that are hindering your ability to make and receive money and love. What keeps you starving and malnourished? What is standing in your way of experiencing more wealth? Why do you resist pleasure and supportive, healthy connections? Where are you keeping yourself away from deeper nourishment? Heal and overcome bad habits on the mental and emotional body levels so you can open the valves of divine flow more!

Identify and harmonize conflicts within. Find balance between structure and flow as well as the young and old energies within you. Where do your masculine and feminine energies need more alignment? What polarities are begging you for more harmony and integration? When your opposing forces within can befriend each other, there will be more fluidity and harmony, more receptivity. Venus can support this harmonizing and help you increase Shakti, life force energy. Love, which is the ultimate healing energy, is a resource that Venus can support you with. During her exaltation, notice if you can touch in to and move towards greater love- for yourself and others. Step towards your challenges, then use them to find more integration of the opposing forces within you. 

Mercury in Aries

Saturday, April 2nd at 15:02, Mercury crosses the tricky gap between endings/release (Pisces) and beginning/potential (Aries). The movement from debilitation in a water sign, to a fiery and aggressive sign, will cause the mind to feel fragile and agitated. A release process is being instigated.

*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: Keep digging up your depths and looking at your inner conflicts. The parts of you that say yes, but really mean no. The parts of you that say no, but really mean yes. The desire to strengthen your power, your inner knowing, is driving this self inquiry. A yearning to be more truthful with all your parts- dark and light, shadow and illumination. Are you allowing in pleasure, comfort, joy and life fully? Not the false kind. But through deep, honest receptivity? This includes looking at the hard parts and your own discomfort. Lean into the soft and hard equally.

Taurus: As the doors of your heart swing open, notice the physical response within you. What happens next? Do you continue to open or do these doors within close swiftly, without hesitation? I invite you to linger. Find that moment. When the door is neither open, nor closed. Where you have neither said yes, nor said no. Use you breath for reference. Bring presence to the moment in between breaths. In between the inhale (open) and exhale (close). How long can you stay here, suspended, in this presence? Do you resist this place? Lean in and witness your response. Notice where you have built walls- keeping you from this presence of neither open nor close, the place of all possibilities.

Gemini: What does it actually mean to be a Gemini? Your sign represents powerful creative energy co-creating- resulting in a third, dynamic energy being created. Or the "emergent third" as it is often referred to in the art therapy realms. This emergent third, or "the third", is delicate, vulnerable and thus extremely powerful. It's ripe with potential, with possibility, with new, unfolding energy. Do you work with this energy? Tend to it and honor it like you would a tender bud or a small child? Or do you suppress, negate, resist this tender and powerful force? Let your creativity be your greatest teacher. Step into Her wild wisdom, not away from it. Get to know her more intimately.

Cancer: In your quest for deeper nourishment, you must be honest about your resistance to receiving. What is it about deep nourishment that causes you such pain? Lean into your discomfort, as this is vital for increasing your threshold of expansion. Expand your container, your holding, of both light and dark, pain and joy. As you open to more, you will receive more, and then be able to discern what you want more of. Say yes to your creative expansion by navigating your wild, inner terrain consciously. Your untamed, creative feminine. Notice Her. Give Her your presence. Step closer to your power by integrating the confusion between light and dark within.

Leo: This old story of your power is beginning to crumble. To dissolve, disintegrate. Partly because it's becoming less interesting to you. Partly because you're learning a new way. But first you have to allow the total demolition of the old structure, the old way of being. How you are, who you are- in relationship with Self, with others? How you have used your power in the past? Where is this no longer serving you? The only way to explore these questions is to lean into your vulnerability, your wild, untamed, inner terrain. What lies beyond your ego? The part of you that keeps the masks on? Who are you stripped down, raw, bare? What does your emptiness long for? Need? The pains you manifest, are created in order for your deepest needs to be acknowledged.

Virgo: You are learning how to relate to yourself in new ways, more intimate ways. From here, you can show up more fully for others. It takes courage to awaken to your failings, the parts of yourself, your actions and choices, that have not nourished or supported you. Lean into these "failures" as there is great wisdom here. Great truth about what you really need for wholeness and completion. The conflict and rigidity to do so, results in further separation from your true Self. What do your failures, your mistakes teach you about your relationship to your inner wisdom? Listen carefully. Underneath the critical voice is a pathway to deeper self compassion.

Libra: Pick up the pieces you dropped long ago. The parts of your being that allow you to connect, contain, strengthen, commit. The parts you abandoned for lightness, ease and fluidity. It's time to find balance and integration now. It's time to find that moment when you are awake to both- structure and flow. What is it about this structure that you fear? That terrorizes you? Lean into this fear and awaken to it's voice. What does it need? What is it asking of you? Only when you can befriend this fear, can you truly know how to surrender more fully.

Scorpio: This battle you have been identifying within is the key to unlock so many layers of resistance. Resistance to nourishment, support, to gather more of what you want and need. This old, epic battle- the one between life and death, pain and joy, your polarities. As you crack your heart open wider, by leaning into this old anger and resentment, this conflict can release. Listen to the fear of letting this conflict go. The terror resisting how amazing your life might be. Why does joy haunt you so much? What does your fear need for safety? Remember your power is in presence, in sacred pause, in the body and the breath. Your joy is hidden in these moments.

Sagittarius: You are becoming more attentive to your inner silence- either by force or your own desire. This silence is a gift, a place to soften and surrender to your true needs, your hearts longings. It takes fearlessness and courage to show up here fully. Honor your bravery. The love begins to flow more fluidly and powerfully in the coming days. This is a balm for your heart and an opportunity to hear your inner wisdom more clearly- as well as your power and purpose. All love flows to the heart. Be in the practice of fully receiving this powerful force and notice your relationship with it. Where are there conditions on this love? Where do you resist its expansiveness? Your power is in the fluidity of giving and receiving.

Capricorn: You are learning what it feels like to cut away the unnecessary. The harsh, the brutal. Deepening your ability to feel true comfort and support. The kind that comes from your inner being, a connection to your inner strength. When you aren't so busy wasting your energy on force and physical struggle, on engaging your masculine self, you can arrive into the receptive more fully. She is beginning to awaken within you, to awaken you. How will you dance together, co-create and bring forth the riches from this untapped inner well? No need to force this, She arrives in Her own time, wild and untamed. Your only job is to just be grateful when She arrives and give Her your presence.

Aquarius: It is a fragile time for you. And in this fragility is great strength, great power. Ripen with this potential, possibility, the unknown and uncertainty. Gather the most important pieces and arrange them carefully with intention. The truth is, these pieces, what's left, are the foundation you need to create a more solid ground. You are in a radical release process. One that requires deep surrender. Lean into this pain, this brokenness. These wild and untamed, painful parts are your teachers trying to show you what you truly long for. What the essential ingredients are for your wholeness. Right now you are in the pain, but I promise you, if you keep showing up for your shadow, at some point, the light will return more strongly, more powerfully, than ever before.

Pisces: The pieces of you that are still in hiding are beginning to see the light. All the ways you've kept yourself from feeling love, connection, support. These pieces that have been shrouded in shadow. They are emerging. Some of this is showing up through pain, challenge, conflict, separateness. Some of this wisdom is arriving through experiencing joy and pleasure. Herein lies the conflict. How can you integrate the pain and the joy, the light and the dark? There is a certain confusion in the this process. The wisdom is embedded in this conflict of polarities. What does it have to teach you about your needs? There's a wild, untamed creative force on its way to awaken your knowing. Surrender to Her ways and gather resources for your union.
