This Week's Intention: Stay close to your heart and emotional body wisdom this week. Honor your steps, but go slow and be steady. What is your intention for action and movement? Let your momentum come from this place. It is a new Moon week. The Moon is waning, turning inward, becoming dark and empty. As the Moon tides soften and become still, as does your emotional body. Pause more. Listen carefully and honor the wisdom coming from your soft, inner landscape. With this new Moon, the two week eclipse portal between lunar and solar eclipses also begins. Be gentle with yourself and honor the fact that others will be extra sensitive as well. More details in my New Moon Wisdom. Mercury goes retrograde early in the week and the mind moves in reverse for 23 days. Get innovative. Monday, August 29th Moon in 13th tithi Trayodasi Monday begins with Moon moving into Pushya nakshatra and its own sign Cancer. Pushya, the nourishing star, is Brihaspati's domain. As a personification of Jupiter, Brihaspati brings learning, knowledge and wisdom as well as support. How do you accept the support he is offering you? Are you able to receive and acknowledge what is arriving? Let gratitude be a balm for your heart and count your blessings. Saturn rules this nakshatra, requesting stability and steadiness. Go slow and continue to honor the needs he is presenting in your physical and emotional bodies. Stay connected to the wisdom of your body; get embodied. Use the breath as a resource for integration. You are still finding balance within polarities- light and dark, life and death, fast and slow, young and old, masculine and feminine. Use this time to honor all that you are. Lead with the heart as it is the ultimate point of integration and balance. Late evening Moon shifts to Ashlesha nakshatra, provoking the mind and supporting awakening from illusion. Get clear on what is working and what is not working. Clarify your priorities. The tight conjunction of Jupiter, Mercury and Venus continues. Clarify and create, expand and awaken. Let relationships and money be resources for your process of awareness. What mental/emotional body blockages are keeping you locked into old patterns?

Get the Details Tuesday, August 30th Moon in 14th tithi Chaturdasi Moon continues through Sarpa's domain, sparking mental body activity and deep inquiry. Snake energy is enlivened today, producing transformational and transcendental opportunities. Occult and mystical powers are enlivened as the Moon moves through this intense nakshatra. Late night, Moon shifts into the Sun's sign, Leo, landing in Magha nakshatra. Moon joins Sun and Rahu here. All receive gaze from the grief inducing Saturn and the spiritual change maker, Ketu. Mercury and Jupiter are still in the one degree range, however Venus has jumped forward a few degrees now. There is a battle between deva (god) and asura (demon) energies happening- and the mind is stuck in the middle of it. Today may prove to be a challenging day for the mental body on multiple accounts. Stay close to your body and breath. As Mercury goes retrograde today, honor the fact that the Mind is lurching into change and transformation and will begin to retrace its steps in the coming weeks. This may be helpful or difficult- or both. Mercury will go retrograde in its sign of exaltation on August 30th. Mercury will be exalted in Virgo (not in its mulitrikona degrees) during this retrograde. An exalted retrograde planet becomes debilitated, impacting the expression of the planet and turning it inward, rather than outward. For over a week, the mental body will be on a unique, inward journey. On September 9th, Mercury will re-enter Leo, joining Sun and Rahu here. This will bring the mind more clarity and external focus, while supporting a unique and innovative process. Read more about Mercury retrograde Wednesday, August 31st Moon in 15th tithi Amavasya Moon moves through Leo and Magha nakshatra today, stirring the inner lion and grande power. Pitr rules this constellation, bringing forth karma with father and the father's lineage, as well as the masculine. The ancestors will be supporting your power and purpose today. Can you feel a connection to them? Stay out of ego and grandiose arrogance. Instead, connect to heart and lineage in order to stay grounded in your truth. Moon is nearing its exact conjunction with the Sun, bringing an emptiness, release and letting go with it. With all the elements of father that have been stirred and provoked in the past few months as multiple planets have moved through Leo, today marks a poignant day of closure. What have you been healing with father wounds? What is your intention moving forward? How can you honor this need with an action step? Saturn and Mars continue to separate in Scorpio, supporting action and momentum. Mercury moves into exact conjunction with Jupiter as he retrogrades back through Virgo. Remember that an exalted planet that is retrograde, becomes debilitated- the energy moves inward rather than outwards. Debilitated Venus in Virgo continues to move away from both planets, however the mind is still being influenced by this challenging combination of spiritual vs. worldly. Relationships, money, comforts and food are vulnerable. Join me for a *free* 14 Day Emotional Body Challenge! I'll be sharing resources, tools and extra guidance to navigate these choppy cosmic tides in the coming weeks. Get the Details Thursday, September 1st Moon in 15th and 1st tithi Amavasya to Pratipad Moon shifts into Purvaphalguni nakshatra just before Thursday begins, moving into the domain of Bhaga, the resource and pleasure provider. At 03:03, the new Moon officially arrives, bringing an emptiness and release with it. The new Moon is in sidereal Leo and Purvaphalguni nakshatra, coinciding with the annual solar eclipse. This particular eclipse will not be visible in North America, but will touch Southern Asia, Western Australia, Much of Africa, Atlantic, Indian Ocean, Antarctica. The eclipse will begin at 00:13 MDT on the 1st and continue until 06:00, with the maximum eclipse occurring at 03:01 am MDT. Eclipses are a time to meditate and do spiritual practices. From a Vedic perspective, it is not advised to be outside during an eclipse, nor start new projects during the eclipse portal (the two week gap between solar and lunar eclipses). It is an inward, lunar day. Plant seeds and attend to your creativity in gentle, intentional ways. Bhaga supports the senses- sensuality, creativity, feelings, resources and that which brings pleasure and passion. What stirs your being and excites your spirit? Do that! Read more about this new Moon and the upcoming September Eclipse Portal Friday, September 2nd Moon in 2nd tithi Dvitiya As Friday begins, Moon shifts into the latter half of the Phalguni constellation, Uttaraphalguni. Moon is on the other side of Rahu now and moving towards Virgo. It is still a tender, small, gentle emotional body experience. One that requires attention and intention. Power is the theme right now. Are you in right relationship with your power? Uttaraphalguni is ruled by Aryaman, an Aditya who brings sustenance and good health, strength in the body and physical stamina. He also connects you to the ancestors and requests that you honor your lineage with activities and choices that sustain and nourish. Sun is the ruling planet of this lunar constellation and since the solar eclipse has now opened the eclipse portal, it is important to honor the themes now enlivened. Power, the masculine, and relationships, all require your focus. What resources do you need to awaken and digest? Jupiter and debilitated (retrograde) Mercury continue to move through exact conjunction, with Venus only five degrees away. The mind is sandwiched in between Jupiter (purity) and Venus (impurity). Expect mental confusion with relationships, finances and health in connection to spiritual matters, wisdom and awareness. As Moon shifts into Virgo mid morning, these themes are illuminated and intensify. Stay in the body as much as possible. The mind and emotions will be amplified and may feel overwhelming. Find your grounding cord within. Saturday, September 3rd Moon in 3rd tithi Tritiya Just as Saturday arrives, Moon moves to Hasta nakshatra and Savitr arrives to illuminate and brighten. He brings the light- awareness through knowing, seeing and experiencing truth. Moon continues to mirror the challenges happening in Virgo currently. Today, Moon moves closer to Venus, who is not fond of the Moon. This combination is provocative for the current themes instigated by the transits and eclipse portal. Relationships, creativity, health, resources, pleasure, finances and passion are stirred. Can you find the root of the conflict within? What is working and what resources are you gathering? What challenges are present and how are they emerging? Remember that the nature of Virgo is to analyze, purify and cleanse. It wants to be healed, but not without attending to details. This is a powerful time to look very closely at your inner terrain and seek healing. Join me for a *free* 14 Day Emotional Body Challenge! I'll be sharing resources, tools and extra guidance to navigate these choppy cosmic tides in the coming weeks. Get the Details Sunday, September 4th Moon in 4th tithi Chaturthi On Sunday morning, Moon begins to separate from the cluster of planets transiting Virgo. She shifts into Chitra mid morning, bringing resources and activation from Vishvakarma. Moon is slowly gaining some visibility as it enters the 4th tithi of its waxing phase, offering a more active awareness to your emotional body. Chitra translates as "to be painted" which shows the action oriented nature of this constellation as well as the high creativity. This constellation is a place of highly skilled artisans who bring forth visions into manifest form. Today, let your imagination move you into creative play. Make something, move something and create! Sun and Rahu are in exact conjunction today. The tension with ego, sense of self worth and one's abilities to activate and be empowered are being tested right now. Move towards gratitude. Lighten the heart. Early evening, Moon shifts to Libra, stirring the need for balance, integration and harmony. Ketu gives his gaze, which will require that you release and let go in the coming days. Where are you resisting this release? As Moon moves through the 4th tithi (Chaturthi) beginning at 07:25 MDT, the celebrated birthday of Ganesha begins. Ganesha Chaturthi continues until 09:39 MDT on the 5th. Ganesha is the remover of obstacles and brings moksha, release and awakening on one's path. He supports your ability to see more clearly, to have ease and self realization. He especially loves sweets, though Gulab Jamun is said to be his favorite. Today, honor Ganesha at your altar and honor him for bringing you ease and grace on your path. {Space Clearing the Heart} Discover how to transform your emotional body in a creative and embodied way. Early Bird Pricing Ends September 5th. Get the Details Monday, September 5th Moon in 5th tithi Panchami Late Monday morning, moon shifts into Swati nakshatra, Vayu's territory. Movement will be maximized- whether small or large, gentle or harsh. The nature of Vayu is air, cooling things off softly and also brutally. As Moon moves through Libra at the start of the week, the need for balance, integration and connection increases. Ketu's gaze upon the Moon brings sudden changes, shifts and awakenings. Emotions may be sparked suddenly, but will release just as quickly. There is a link between Vayu and Rudra- which indicates great strength is available here. Vayu is also breath, the breath of life, life force energy. He can bring balance or imbalance, but Prana (your inner winds) will restore and bring health and vitality. If you can get your inner winds in balance, then everything else falls into place. Use pranayama, physical movement and breath awareness into your day. Sun is still in very close proximity to Rahu and will continue to move past him in the coming days. Issues with ego, sense of self worth and inner resiliency are amplified. As Sun moves to the other side of Rahu, towards the edge of Leo, a unique planetary yoga occurs. All planets will be scissored in between Rahu and Ketu until late December (once Mars moves to the other side of Ketu). This yoga is called Kala Sarpa (The Serpent of Time) and will intensify each month as Moon enters Leo and moves through Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn and through Aquarius. Moon mirrors and magnifies, so issues provoked by these signs and the planets in these signs, will be amplified as a result. Kala Sarpa Yoga's effects intensify the planetary combinations at play as all planets are essentially "hemmed in" by the malefic shadow nodes, Rahu and Ketu.

This Week's Intention: Use your grief as a resource for awakening. Honor your emotional body wisdom fully and allow it to teach you about your deepest needs. Ask for extra support and find simple steadiness within. It's a waning Moon week, which means that your emotional body tides are softening and becoming more vulnerable. The light is diminishing and your focus is turning inward. Venus will move to its sign of debilitation this week, joining Mercury and Jupiter in Virgo. Creativity, life force energy and money are vulnerable this month and require your extra attention. Mars and Saturn will be in exact degrees the first half of the week, causing intense conflict and challenge to surface. Understand that this is an extreme purification cycle, wringing out grief from your emotional body, calling you to simplify every level of your life. Be gentle, go slow and attend to your emotional body wisdom very intentionally. Late in the week, a tight conjunction of Jupiter, Mercury and Venus occurs in Virgo. This will impact finances and relationships directly. Read more about these challenging transits and the impact of the eclipse portal Monday, August 22nd Moon in 5th tithi Panchami As Monday begins, Moon finishes its transit through Revati and Pisces. Mid morning, Moon leaps from water into fire, jump starting beginnings and openings. As Moon arrives in Aries and Ashwini nakshatra a fresh start awakens. Ashwini is ruled by Ketu, who cuts attachments and provokes release. Open yourself up to the new by letting go of the past. Allow yourself to step into a fresh start and say yes to a new cycle. What are you opening to? What are you closing to? As Moon wanes this week, the energy shifts inward. Reach inward and gather the wisdom of the past cycle so you can use it for the weeks to come. Mars and Saturn in a tight exact conjunction right now. This brings challenges with the physical and emotional bodies. Actions will be slowed no matter how hard you try. Do not force outcomes. Tuesday, August 23rd Moon in 6th to 7th tithi Sashti to Saptami Early morning, Moon shifts to Bharani nakshatra- a constellation ruled by Venus and Yama. Restraint will be necessary today. Extravagance will not be supported. Simplicity rules the day with all things Venus- money, relationships, comforts, food, sweets and intoxicants. Don't overindulge. Mars and Saturn are in exact degrees today. Saturn, the renunciate, is infamous for simplicity and lack of frivolousness. He wants your serious commitment and scheduled timeliness. Mars is fighting his needs mercilessly, causing tension between polarities- young and old, fast and slow, ancient and new, life and death, masculine and feminine. How can you integrate polarities more consciously? How can each of your parts support the other? Let your light and dark find more balance. Wednesday, August 24th Moon in 7th and 8th tithi Saptami and Ashtami Just as Wednesday begins, Moon shifts to the final nakshatra of Aries, Krittika. Late morning, Moon arrives in Taurus and her degrees of exaltation. Emotional waves are high! Agni rules this portion of the sky, bringing deep purification and transformation with him as a result. As the sacred fire god, he supports the alchemical change process and supports the transition of all levels of life. He awakens, brings life and increases clarity and exactness. Sun is associated with Agni- currently transiting his own sign, Leo. Power and purpose come to the forefront today. What changes do you need to make in order to step into your power more fully? Mars and Saturn will be forcing you to look at this in an integrated, balanced way. There are no short cuts. Just your willingness to honor your inner and outer realms equally. Let your emotional body be a resource for your alchemy and change process. Thursday, August 25th Moon in 8th to 9th tithi Ashtami to Navami Moon moves through Taurus and enters Rohini nakshatra just as Thursday begins. Now in its mulitrikona degrees, the Moon's potency is less, but also more manageable. The emotional body becomes a potent creative resource today. Your feelings create your life and help you manifest. You don't create your life from the thinking body, but from the feeling body. Do you feel safe to expand and activate your power and purpose? It's time to clean up your subconscious territory and awaken more possibility in your life. What is holding you back? Mars has shifted to the other side of Saturn, yet is still in almost exact conjunction. In the coming days, this battle will begin to come to a close after many months of challenges and disruptions. Have you extracted the theme and digested the meaning of this intense time period? Just as the 25th arrives, Venus leaps into Virgo, joining exalted Mercury and Jupiter here. This cycle of Venus provokes a lopsided energy of big, strong creativity, mixed with vulnerability and sensitivity simultaneously. The challenge will be to honor both and integrate the conflict of big and small, expansive and quiet. At the time when Venus moves into Virgo, Moon is also in its mulitrikona sign, Taurus, with Rohini on the ascendant. This increases the huge waves of creative energy during this cycle and builds momentum. Read more about Venus in Virgo Friday, August 26th Moon in 9th to 10th tithi Navami to Dashami Just as Friday arrives, Moon shifts to Mrigashirsha nakshatra, inviting in the emotional body, soma and immense creativity. There is much procreative power here, which can be channeled into all sorts of creative acts. Highly fickle in nature, the Moon brings constant change on the mental and emotional body levels. Mars, however, rules this nakshatra, expressing the intense drive to create. How will you use this power? What acts of creativity and expression will receive your action steps? Moon moves to Gemini mid day, increasing the level of mental body activity. Mars gives his gaze to the Moon, provoking frustration and tension. Movement is awake and enlivened, but stay in right-relationship with the mind and body today or you will be diminishing your life force energy. Mars is finally beginning to separate from Saturn and is two degrees away from him now. Some ease will be felt with action steps and momentum, but going slow and honoring simplicity are still essential. Mercury, Jupiter and Venus move into a tight triple conjunction in Virgo as of today. This will continue until early next week at which point Venus moves out of the conjunction, but Mercury and Jupiter continue to track each other closely. Watch your finances, pay close attention to relationships, gather resources and support for your process. Saturday, August 27th Moon in 10th to 11 tithi Dashami to Ekadashi Moon shifts to Ardra nakshatra as Saturday begins. Rudra rules this powerful constellation. There are three levels of the storm god activated today. Through nakshatra, tithi and transit. As Moon shifts into the 11th tithi midday, Rudra is strengthened. Saturn also gives his gaze to Rahu in Leo via transit, which energetically stirs Rudra as well. As the storm god, you can expect powerful release to take place on the emotional body level thanks to Rudra's power. This may also be reflected in Nature as rain, thunderstorms and natural disasters. Creativity and relationship are also impacted. Stay close to your body today. Channel strong emotions in healthy and effective outlets. Use your resources- like art, nature, movement, creativity, connection. Before Saturday ends, Moon shifts to Punarvasu nakshatra and a softening effect arrives. Feel the relief. Sunday, August 28th Moon in 12th tithi Dvadashi Moon continues through Punarvasu and Gemini today, offering the wisdom and support of Aditi. As the Mother of All Goodness, she showers you with resources and assistance. She birthed 33 Devas- 12 Adityas, 11 Rudras and 8 Vasus, as well as Indra and Prajapati. She brings unity consciousness and the awareness of inter-connectedness. Allow yourself to receive today. Where are you resisting the nourishment and support you so desperately crave? Early evening, Moon shifts to its own sign, Cancer. Outside of the gaze of other planets, there may finally be a sense of softening, release and relief. With Mars and Saturn now over two degrees a part, the conflict is shifting to integration and peace talks. Where are these polarities still provoking you? You might be able to see more clearly now that the heat and pressure are starting to ease. Nourish and nurture yourself today. Monday, August 29th Moon in 13th tithi Trayodasi Monday begins with Moon moving into Pushya nakshatra, the nourishing star and Brihaspati's domain. As a personification of Jupiter, Brihaspati brings learning, knowledge and wisdom as well as support. How do you accept the support he is offering you? Are you able to receive and acknowledge what is arriving? Let gratitude be a balm for your heart and count your blessings. Saturn rules this nakshatra, requesting stability and steadiness. Go slow and continue to honor the needs he is presenting in your physical and emotional bodies. Stay connected to the wisdom of your body; get embodied. Use the breath as a resource for integration. You are still finding balance within polarities- light and dark, life and death, fast and slow, young and old, masculine and feminine. Use this time to honor all that you are. Lead with the heart as it is the ultimate point of integration and balance. Late evening Moon shifts to Ashlesha nakshatra, provoking the mind and supporting awakening from illusion. Get clear on what is working and what is not working. Clarify your priorities. The tight conjunction of Jupiter, Mercury and Venus continues. Clarify and create, expand and awaken. Let relationships and money be resources for your process of awareness. What mental/emotional body blockages are keeping you locked into old patterns? Feeling the impact of these challenging transits? Let's talk. Schedule A Session

Get the Details This Week's Intention: Transform, change, heal, grow. Allow the release to be a resource for awakening the new. Create space intentionally by attending to losses and grief. A new cycle begins as this week starts. The waning Moon shifts from Pisces into Aries just as Monday ends, signaling release and beginnings. Let go! Mercury shifts to Leo on Tuesday, bringing fire, power and ego to the mental body. There is agitation at the start of the week, so be attentive to your emotional body and the needs arriving as you navigate new waters. Jupiter is winding down his year long transit through Leo right now. Extract the final resources and wisdom from this powerful time of change and healing. Read more about Jupiter in Leo Monday, July 25th Moon in 6th and 7th tithi Sashti and Saptami Just as Monday arrives, Moon enters the final nakshatra of the zodiac. Endings and release are present, while openings are awakened simultaneously. Be conscious about this release process. What are you letting go of? What are you closing to? As the Moon moves through the last sign and nakshatra of the zodiac, the emotional body will feel the watery release, triggering your inner waters to flow. Find your fluidity, movement and motion. Ease and move towards the release. Notice where you are resisting and refusing your inner waters. Follow the currents. Before midnight, Moon crosses into new territory, ending a passage through all twelve signs. As Moon enters Aries, sudden shifts take place. Begin again. Tuesday, July 26th Moon in 8th tithi Ashtami Moon moves through Aries, getting used to a new dance through the zodiac. Ashwini nakshatra is enlivened today, increasing healing and rejuvenation for the body and emotions. Use the healing arts as a resource for inviting and opening into more space and fluidity. Let the heart awaken your intention for healing and transformation. What do you need to feel more safety and stability within? What needs are arriving? Just before midnight, Moon shifts into the second nakshatra of Aries. Yama rules Bharani nakshatra and requests transformation through restraint. On July 26th at 19:27, Mercury moves to Leo, joining Rahu and Jupiter here. The mind gains strength, power and potency, yet reflects some confusion and uncertainty with these themes at the same time. This cycle provides great learning and growth from relationships. Relationships become a powerful guru, teacher, in the weeks to come- whether it feels supportive or painful. The mind will be oriented to the challenges and resources coming to you. Most will arrive in the form of the “other”. What do you need on a deep, core level- for greater support and stability? Who and what do you need to guide you towards greater power and inner wisdom? Read more about Mercury in Leo Wednesday, July 27th Moon in 9th tithi Navami Moon moves through Bharani nakshatra today. Yama, the king of restraint, calls for restriction and simplification today. Cut the cords that are holding you back. Release and let go of attachments in order to invite in the new. There is a certain death taking place today, offering success in destruction and detachment. Allow the endings to arrive. There will be time for awakening to the new, but for now focus your awareness on attending to the release. Grieve and express your emotional pains. Connect with the power of destruction today. Early evening, Moon moves to Krittika nakshatra and the transformation process intensifies. Burn away the excess and allow the form to change. Deep inner change is possible right now. What are you releasing? How can your personal power be a resource? Thursday, July 28th Moon in 10th tithi Dashami Moon moves through Krittika nakshatra and leaps into its exaltation sign, Taurus, a few hours after the day begins. Mars and retrograde Saturn give their exact gaze to the Moon, instigating big emotions. Both sadness and anger emerge. You're re-visiting old grief. What is this story and what does it have to share with you about your needs? The transformational and purifying qualities of Krittika bring change and transformation. Purge, release, let go. Move from the heart and allow the wisdom of your heart center to invite in more nourishment. As evening arrives, Moon shifts to Rohini nakshatra. Lord Brahma invites creative activation. The space that you cleared today in your heart is a resource for your creativity. What are you inviting in? Friday, July 29th Moon in 11th tithi Ekadashi Moon moves through Rohini nakshatra, Lord Brahma's territory. He brings the creative life force energy into form with the help of his wife Saraswati. Creativity is high today. How are you channeling this inner intelligence? What are you putting into action? It's Friday, which means it's Venus's day. Still moving through Cancer, conjunct Sun, the Venus energy is heart centered and passionate for a few more days. A Cancer new Moon arrives early next week. Attend to your heart and home. Meanwhile, today is watery and wet. Let your inner tides flow and the emotional body release. This is your creative life force energy! Don't let it stagnate. Put your emotion into creative activation. Late evening Moon shifts to Mrigashirsha nakshatra. Keep branching out, extending towards your inner nourishment. Reach in before you reach out. Saturday, July 30th Moon in 12th tithi Dvadasi Mid morning, Moon shifts into Gemini, an airy, changeable and creative sign. Mars and Ketu give their gaze, sparking heat, sudden flashes of insight and emotional outbursts. Mind and emotions will be sensitive in the coming days. Moon travels through Soma's domain, inviting more life force energy to move, flow and stir. Symbolically, this nakshatra is ruled by an antelope's head with branching antlers. There is constant growth and a medicinal quality to this star, as well as a lunar nature. Fickle and changing, Mrigashirsha nakshatra brings change, transformation and creativity. Notice where you are taking steps towards your nourishment. Notice where you are taking steps away from your nourishment. What are you moving towards? What are you moving away from? Late evening Moon shifts into Ardra, the aggressive and emotionally powerful star ruled by Rudra. Let the emotions moving through you be powerful and transformational. Sunday, July 31st Moon in 13th tithi Trayodasi Moon continues through Ardra the majority of the day, bringing intense emotional waves and aggression. Rudra, the storm god, guarantees powerful and passionate emotional outbursts. Anger and sadness co-mingle in this nakshatra, stirring waves of grief and pain. This is your power. Put your attention on the pulse of your emotional currents. Let this power move you into action. What are you creating? What needs to be cleared and severed for greater life potency? Late afternoon, Moon shifts to Punarvasu nakshatra and the light and softness returns. Can you feel the fluidity returning? Clarify your needs and move towards your deepest nourishment and wisdom. Hopefully you've been attending to your emotional body and creating more space for the new. What seeds are you planting for lasting results? Leo becomes a packed house in the coming weeks as Venus moves into this fire sign. Jupiter, Rahu and Mercury are also here and Sun will arrive in Leo mid month as well. As Venus moves into Leo on July 31st at 13:40, the sign of the father, power and ego intensifies. This magnification occurs as Jupiter prepares to leave Leo after a yearlong transit here. The lessons of the past cycle are magnifying, culminating in a stronger, more intense awareness. Relationships are the core focus at this time, instigating a deep desire to change, transform and heal the battles within your polarities. Masculine and feminine forces are ripe and asking for integration and co-creation. Read more about Venus in Leo Monday, August 1st Moon in 14th tithi Chaturdashi Late Monday morning, Moon shifts to its own sign, Cancer, joining Sun here. Moon loves its own watery, heart centered sign. It loves the fluid nature of Cancer and the orientation towards home and heart. It needs the structure and landing force of home and heart in order to feel safe and secure. From this place, love can flow. As Moon continues through Punarvasu nakshatra, Aditi brings her resources, wisdom and awareness. She supports and nourishes through her knowledge, offering support and abundance to those who worship her. As the Mother of All Goodness, she brings freedom and release from struggle and strife. Notice how her support and wisdom arrives today. Do you say yes to it or no? How open are you to receiving? Late afternoon, Moon shifts to Pushya nakshatra and the nourishing star brings heart expansion and contraction. There is an opening and a closing happening simultaneously. Inhale and exhale. They are interdependent on each other. What are you opening to? What are you closing to? * All timing is in Mountain Daylight Time. To determine the current nakshatra for your time zone, add or subtract time based on your distance to Mountain Time. Wondering how this coming year-long transit of Jupiter will impact you? Already feeling the effects? Get details, resources, guidance and support for the months to come. Book a session with me The most auspicious full Moon of the year arrives on July 19th at 16:56. Guru Purnima is considered the fullest full Moon of the year, dedicated to gurus and teachers who bring you wisdom, guidance and support. This year, Guru Purnima occurs while the Moon is in Capricorn and UttaraAshada nakshatra- just a few degrees shy of landing in the sacred portal of Abhijit nakshatra. The Vishva Devas are enlivened, sparking support and assistance from universe and spirit. The Vishva Devas bring power and the ability to overcome obstacles, while finding the support you need to become successful. Worshipping the Vishva Devas, or the Laws of Nature, brings you the empire, the kingdom, the royal success you long for on the material plane of existence. The Vishva Devas support your success beyond dreams, but will help you materialize your visions into reality. This is an action oriented lunar constellation, ruled by the Sun. It demands truth, honesty, integrity and your committed arrival to your dharmic path. This full Moon and the cycle to come demand your consistent action steps and integrated movement. There is resistance to change, yet with alignment and a commitment to your path, the way will be shown to you. All you need to do is continue to arrive, to show up and listen carefully to the wisdom that is within you. Your dedication to your inner light, will show you the way. There is great nourishment in the coming cycle, but it arrives with your release and letting go. The blessings and gifts will come when you let go of the objectives and shadows that undermine your clarity, purpose and inner knowing. Immense creativity derives from the heart center in this cycle. This heart wisdom is your guru, your biggest teacher. It hurts, it feels pain, the emotions will be strong, but it is opening the door to more space, a more expanded version of yourself. How open are you to the transformation process? Gather resources, support and guidance in the weeks to come. Seek counseling and individual resources to move beyond the old, stuck and worn out patterns that keep you locked in struggle and pain. It is your time to grow, rise from the mud. Reach up and out, extend your reach. This can be a time of great blossoming, if you prune some branches in order to allow the new growth to emerge. Creative Ritual 1) Identify something or someone that you are grateful for in your life right now. Move closer to this feeling of gratitude. Lean in and listen. Notice where this sense of gratitude lands in your body. Stay with this sensation and continue to bring your presence to this feeling in your body for 2 to 5 minutes.
2) Create an image of your gratitude. Using craypas, paints or pencils, create an image of your gratitude. What does this gratitude feel like for you? Create an image that expresses this feeling using colors, textures and shapes. Allow 20 minutes at minimum for this nourishment image. Title your image. 3) Embody your gratitude dance. Use your image to inspire a movement exploration. Let your body move in response to your gratitude image with the intention of "moving with your gratitude". What sensations emerge for you during your dance? What awareness? Allow 5 to 10 minutes for this movement exploration. I encourage you to extend this time frame as you recycle this process. 4) Harvesting. In your journal answer these questions: I am, I want, I need, I sense, I feel, I imagine. This Week's Intention: Begin again. Allow renewal, change and transformation to move you this week. Commit to new steps and deeper transformation. Get out of your own way. Mercury has just moved to Gemini, joining the combust pair Sun and Venus- marking a month long transit of mental body clean up. The mental body likes this thought provoking, creative sign, but will meet some heat and conflict with the tumult of Sun and Venus during this transit. The Moon continues to wane, inviting in depth and introspection as well as emotional body sensitivity. Mars will finally go direct late week, inviting in forward momentum with action steps, courage and inner strength. Sun continues through Rudra's nakshatra, Ardra, provoking strong and challenging emotions, immense power and determination. Stay with it and lean in to the inner messages calling to you. Monday, June 27th Moon in 8th tithi Ashtami Monday begins with Moon transiting the final sign of the zodiac as the emotional body continues to wane. Endings increase. Let go and release. Where are you clinging or holding on, unable to surrender? As Moon continues through Uttarabhadrapada, connect with your depths and inner wisdom. Dive deep within and find your inner knowing. There is potent transformation available to those who are committed to the exploration of their unconscious territory. Your willingness will take you far. Let your body wisdom be the catalyst for deeper exploration. Where do you feel the challenges you face- within your body? What does this part of your body have to share with you? Listen carefully for the messages and the needs arriving. Your presence alone can be a healing resource. Late evening, Moon moves to the final nakshatra of the zodiac, Revati, ushering in the support and guidance of Pushan. He support your path with resources. What are you gathering? Tuesday, June 28th Moon in 9th tithi Navami Moon is in transition, release and seeking closure. Notice your emotional body and its need for completion and letting go right now. What are you finishing up and digesting from the previous cycle? As the Moon finalizes its passage through Pisces and Revati nakshatra today, pay special attention to endings. Tidy up loose ends and attend to any needs that will support completion. You are preparing to invite in new possibilities and potential in the coming days. Are you ready? Have you created space for the new? Late evening, Moon steps into Aries, crossing the tumultuous gap between water (Pisces) and fire (Aries), signaling endings and beginnings. As Moon lands in the first sign of the zodiac, it sparks renewal and a shift towards openings and fresh starts. Once the lunar mirror lands in Ashwini nakshatra, rejuvenation becomes necessary. Attend to self care, health, wellness and vitality. Cut away and release that which doesn't support your inner life force energy. Wednesday, June 29th Moon in 10th tithi Dashami Moon travels through Ashwini nakshatra, supporting healing and nourishment through health, wellness and creativity. The Ashvini-Kumara twins rule this constellation, guardians of Ayurveda- the oldest living health science alive. The Ashvini-Kumara twins use the arts as one of their remedies for healing and transformation as they recognize that the healing arts cover all aspects of Creative Intelligence. Allow your creativity to be awakened from within. Support your Shakti, life force energy, to enliven and flow with potent creative acts. Early evening, Moon shifts into Bharani nakshatra, Yama's domain. The theme of creativity continues, but is intensified by Yama's transformational power. The yoni symbolizes the strength and power of the Divine Feminine and both her wisdom with birth and death- opens and closes. Vulnerability and strength are intimately intertwined here. Ride the edge and use your vulnerability as a resource for inner change. Thursday, June 30th Moon in 11th tithi Ekadashi Moon continues through Bharani nakshatra, requesting restraint, determination, rest and balance with physical needs. As the Moon shifts into Krittika nakshatra in the afternoon, heat and appetite increase. What are you hungry for? What needs to be purified and released? Late evening, Moon moves to its exaltation degrees in Taurus, amplifying the need for comfort, security and financial support. Emotions deepen and inner tides become stronger. How do you ride the waves? Mars is now direct! The stuckness shall move. The action steps will come forth. The passion will rise! Mars is direct! For those signs ruled by Mars like Aries and Scorpio, life will start moving forward more ardently now. Enjoy! Now start showing up for yourself. Notice where you've been neglecting and avoiding. You say you want change, get clear on where you're in your own way. If it's not working, it's time to look in the mirror and do something differently. Mars goes direct on June 30th and must travel back through Libra once again, covering the territory he already moved through. This will take him until July 12th when he re-enters Scorpio. As Mars moves back to Scorpio, he rejoins Saturn here, this time until September 18th. In total, Mars will march through his own sign the majority of the year. Because he must contend with Saturn as well, there is ample opportunity in the coming months to truly integrate polarities that are causing you disconnections and disassociation. Read more about Mars direct in Libra Friday, July 1st Moon in 12th tithi Dvadasi As Friday begins, the Moon shifts into its mulitrikona degrees, continuing through Taurus- the sign connected to the 2nd house of the zodiac. Mulitrikona planets function at about 75% of their energy, meaning the Moon will be feeling the impact of stronger currents. You may notice emotions are extra high or extra low, or swinging between extremes. Pay attention to these messages as the feelings emerging are important reminders about needs- needs that are getting met and needs that are not getting met. Your job is to find all the ways in which you are blocking the nourishment from your life and being. Just after noon, Moon moves to the creative and manifestation oriented nakshatra, Rohini. Ruling power couple, Lord Brahma and Goddess Saraswati, bring creative intelligence with them. Knowing how to work with their supportive energy will help you bring forth your dreams into reality. Where are you blocking the creative flow? How is your story of scarcity, of lack, of not being enough, keeping you from aligning with your full creative potential? It's time to start changing that old story. Gather new resources and support. Stop thinking you can change this without doing something radically different! Saturday, July 2nd Moon in 13th tithi Trayodasi Moon is waning and close to emptiness. Potential increases. New possibilities arrive. Release is taking place. How do you work with the loss, the slowness, the vulnerability arriving? How do you shape the potential, the openings being created? The first half of the day continues to activate strong creativity. Use this time for manifestation and clarifying your vision, dreams and desires. Where do you feel this landing in your body? What does your imagination stir within? Just before noon, Moon shifts to Mrigashirsha nakshatra and a certain fickleness arrives. The deer influences the day with its flighty movements and cleaver will for nourishment. What are you moving towards? What are you moving away from? Where are you showing up for yourself and receiving the support you need? Where are you resisting and refusing to change old behaviors, beliefs and actions? Nourishment takes work and your willingness to keep moving towards this truth. The ruling planet of this constellation is Mars- currently teetering at the edge of Libra at 29 degrees. Your actions, choices and steps are not clear right now. Go slow and be very intentional with your choices. Stay in alignment and right-relationship with your inner warrior. Sunday, July 3rd Moon in 14th tithi Chaturdashi The ever changing Moon continue to move through the skillful and tender constellation Mrigashirsha. It's flighty nature mirrors the movements of a deer, while its symbol is the antler. The branching antlers symbolize the strong medicinal and aphrodisiac qualities offered by the ever growing extension of this powerful animal. Keep reaching, extending and branching out. Your ability to stay in the growth process, rather than stagnation, will keep the life force energy moving through you. Where are you resisting your inner growth process? How is this impacting your outer growth as a result? Late evening Moon shifts into Gemini, joining Sun, Mercury and Venus there as well. The Moon steps into a conflict zone as Sun and Venus continue to track each other under less than 10 degrees apart. Your emotional body kicks in and heats up. The mind will be equally provoked. Keep landing within. Use the discomfort as a resource for change. What is not working? What is? Life is about finding the resources and working with the challenges as a resource for transformation. Ready to get to work? Monday, July 4th Moon in 15th tithi Amavasya New Moon is on July 4th at 05:02 am. Metaphorically this is a day of independence in the US, which suits this new Moon and waxing cycle to come very well. How much freedom will you feel? That depends on your willingness to show up for yourself and break open the shadow you are clinging to. At the time of the New Moon, four connections to Ardra nakshatra occur. The new Moon is in Ardra as well as the Sun. The sign on the horizon is Gemini, placed acutely in Ardra. Gemini's ruling planet, Mercury is in this constellation as well. The ruling planet of this star pattern is Rahu, insuring that shadow will be encountered. Rudra owns this part of the sky and as the storm god, he is sure to deliver. He especially offers emotional outbursts connected to anger and rage. Big waves of tears, grief and pain can be moved as well, which is an important next step for all of us- after just finishing up a Mula Nakshatra waning cycle that certainly tilled the inner soil.

Register for July Jyotish Astrology Classes! Awaken your creative power and courage to heal and transform as we dive into the 3rd house of the jyotish chart this month! Registration Closes July 7th!! Get the Details This Week's Intention: Find the places within you that resist the process of letting go. Your ability to be nourished in life requires that you make space for the new. Where do you need more space within- in order to hold that which you desire? Manifestation requires that you deepen your relationship with your emotional body, that you can feel when you are nourished and satisfied. Honor these moments. The week begins with Moon shifting into Pisces, the last sign of the zodiac- sparking endings, release and closure. A waning Moon and new Moon later this week, provoke deep introspection and strong potential. Sun and Venus continue their combustion, causing heat, friction and tension with feelings and body, as well as passion with spirit and connections. Relationships, finances, creativity and comfort continue to be challenging. The stop and start energy of retrograde Saturn and Mars offer opportunities for slow, steady steps. Watch carefully where you're forcing or pushing as there will be increased challenges as a result. Spiritual and material conflicts continue as well with Rahu and Jupiter still in close degrees. Notice where you are misaligned with your human and spiritual needs. Where are you confused and overwhelmed? It's time to clarify and let go of who and what is not serving your path. The clearer you are, the more clearly you can receive. Monday, May 30th Moon in 9th & 10th tithi Navami to Dashami Start your week with the theme of balance, integration and embodiment. Keep landing within and honor the parts of yourself that are in conflict, confusion, disoriented. Part of you is moving forward, but the rest of you is resistant to the change. Part of you is in the body, the other part of you is trying to jump out. Moon moves to Pisces late morning, but continues through Ajaikapada's domain. Staying grounded is imperative. What grounds you? What reminds you that you have arrived within? That you are present to your being? Reach in, move within, land within your inner landscape. As Moon shifts to Uttarabhadrapada early afternoon, Ahirbudhnya arrives with depth, introspection and a call to the inner wisdom that lives inside you. Dive deeply into your inner terrain and find the places that are keeping you from wholeness, empowerment and strength. Ruling planet of this constellation is Saturn. His placement in Scorpio right now will certainly support your deep, inner exploration, but you'll have to lean into the resistance that blocks your path. Tuesday, May 31st Moon in 10th & 11th tithi Dashami to Ekadashi Moon continues through the latter half of the Bhadrapada constellation until midday. Spend the first half of your day moving within, reaching into your depths, harvesting inner pearls. As Moon shifts to the final nakshatra of the zodiac, Revati, a certain nourishment is needed to find your way forward. What sustains your path and purpose? What needs do you have for reaching your goals and arriving at your end results? Release and let go of stories, mental body programing and limiting beliefs keeping you locked in struggle and suffering. Life can be easier. Are you resisting the ease as well? Gather the resources you need to move towards gentle, support, guidance and inner stability. Wednesday, June 1st Moon in 11th and 12th tithi Ekadashi to Dvadashi Just before noon, Moon arrives in Aries, bringing beginnings, fresh starts and new steps. The leap from Pisces (water) to Aries (fire) is often challenging for the sensitive Moon. You may notice extra emotions as a result- from tears to anger. Moon joins Mercury in Aries, while both Jupiter and Rahu give their gaze. Emotions and mind struggle to find peace and calm in the coming days, while Rahu gives confusion, overwhelm and uncertainty. Jupiter can act as a buffer and may add some softening, however he is currently transiting a Venus ruled nakshatra, while transiting a Sun ruled sign. Both Venus and Sun are in a heated battle currently. You may experience this as tension between human and spiritual desires. While confusion and conflict with masculine and feminine energies increases inner conflict as well. Ride the waves thoughtfully. Stay out of the stories and land in the body and its wisdom as much as you can. Notice when your mental body is dragging you through the mud. Rejuvenation and release will be necessary today. Spend time relaxing, using healing treatments and with spiritual resources. How can you release whatever feels too heavy to carry forth? Thursday, June 2nd Moon in 13th tithi Trayodasi Late morning, Moon shifts to Bharani nakshatra, a Venus ruled constellation with the severity of Yama. Transformation comes with this star through both life and death, endings and beginnings, loss and gain. What are you awakening to and allowing to birth from your efforts? What needs to be let go and released in order for you to have space for the new? If there are challenges, you must take an honest look at where you're resisting or refusing to heal and transform blockages within. Part of you is saying yes, but there's a part of you saying no as well. Get honest about the needs hidden in your desires. Moon and Mercury collide today in Yama's nakshatra of restraint. Clarify mental and emotional body differences and how they interplay. The mind stirs the emotions, the emotions can stir the mind. The safe zone is your body. Land in sensation and avoid the overwhelm of the choppy waters. Friday, June 3rd Moon in 14th tithi Chaturdasi Moon begins to separate from Mercury mid morning, moving into Krittika nakshatra, the domain of Agni. Sun rules this star, which amplifies the heat of the fire god, Agni, while increasing transformation and purification. Currently, Venus and Sun are in a heated battle, one that is closely connected to purifying and releasing toxicity, excess, obstacles and blockages that keep you from feeling comfort and support. Where are you resisting and refusing to receive the nourishment you need? Your desires intensify, yet the other half of you is in strong resistance. Your job is to find all the obstacles and blockages keeping you from getting the resources that you need. Transformation is vital at this time. Are you even resisting this need for change? Moon joins Venus and Sun in Taurus midday, while moving through its exaltation degrees. The emotional body is at high tide, even though it is dark, empty and sensitive. Honor your emotional body with diligence. Moon is almost completely empty. Potential and possibility abound! What seeds are you planting? What seeds are you afraid to plant? What seeds do you wish you could plant, but are still playing small instead? Your resistance to your greatness is keeping you in the dark. Saturday, June 4th Moon in 15th tithi Amavasya Moon moves into exact conjunction with Sun and Venus early morning, shifting into Rohini nakshatra. This highly creative nakshatra is a potent manifestation resource if you know how to use your inner Creative Intelligence properly. Lord Brahma and his feminine counterpart Saraswati, rule this domain, creating and supporting manifestation, bringing desires into form. Deep feelings and intense emotions are also possible as a result of the Moon ruling this constellation. After all, feelings and emotions are potent manifestation resources. How do you use your Creative Intelligence? Attend diligently to your inner waters at this time. It will be easy to misdirect your energy with the excessive emotional energy. The Moon is fragile however, so honor this inward time. Don't burn out your life force energy with too much externalized effort. New Moon is at 21:00 while the Moon is in Taurus, it's exaltation sign. Moon will be in strong degrees, in Rohini nakshatra at the time of the New Moon on June 4th. There will be confusion between inner and outer in the cycle to come, so finding balance between external needs and internal needs will be important for the first half of the month. At the time of the new Moon, Sun, Moon and Venus are all in exact degrees, placed in the highly creative Moon-ruled nakshatra, Rohini. All three planets receive direct gaze from retrograde Saturn and Mars, adding pressure and heat to the mix. There is a deep purification process happening with relationships, money, comfort and support in this waxing cycle. Clarify what you are creating, burn away what doesn't serve or honor your needs, turn the discomfort into resource for inner and outer change. Read more about the New Moon and Waxing Moon Cycle in my Moon Wisdom. Sunday, June 5th Moon in 1st tithi Pratipad Moon shifts to Mrigashirsha nakshatra just as Sunday begins. This is a nakshatra ruled by Soma, the divine nectar personified as the Moon. Mars rules this nakshatra, which brings much movement and action. Its symbol is a deer head with antlers. A deer is flighty, constantly in motion, covering new ground. Its antlers continue to grow, branch out, extend, then they fall off and the process begins again. This is the story of Mrigashirsha- always changing, reaching, growing and extending. Part of you is really ready to take the leap. The rest of you is dragging its heels and resisting the process of change. What does this part of you need in order to feel safe enough to move forward? Midday Moon shifts to Gemini increasing the fickle nature of this nakshatra. Tension and confusion may arrive with anger or frustration as Mars gives his gaze to the Moon now. Slow, gentle, methodical steps. Pause, breathe, repeat. Just before midnight, Moon moves into the sharp and dreadful (Tikshna) nakshatra, Ardra. The power of Rudra may prevent sleep as he stirs your emotional body. Get to be early and calm your emotions with gentleness and self care. Monday, June 6th Moon in 2nd tithi Dvitiya The week begins with the intense energy of Ardra just as Moon begins its waxing cycle. The emotional body is still fragile, inward and sensitive. Moon moves through Gemini, while its ruling planet Mercury moves to the edge of Aries. The mind and emotions are delicate today and Ardra's ferocity may provoke unpredictable emotional outbursts from you and from others. Passions are high, confusion is strong, overwhelm is present. Do you choose to land in the storm or in the eye of it. You get to use your power with freewill. How do you use your inner strength? Before midnight, Moon shifts to Aditi's domain- offering nourishment, resources and softer, gentler steps. Where do you feel this sense of support in your body. Keep landing back here again and again. * All timing is in Mountain Daylight Time- one hour ahead of Pacific Time, one hour behind Central Time and two hours behind Eastern Time.

Align with your yes- the one that accepts support, resources, new possibilities, more guidance. Drop your arms. Identify all the places within you that resist the nourishment you need. The struggle is real, honor it, but use it to heal and transform, rather than staying stuck. The week begins on the tail end of a full Moon weekend. Moon continues through its debilitation sign, offering remnants of the Scorpio full Moon. Deeper receptivity is available in this waning cycle, let this be an intention as the days get darker and turn more inward with the waning Moon. Mercury is now direct, though Saturn and Mars continue in retrograde motion causing challenges with stops, starts, frustrations and confusion with actions and pauses. Jupiter and Rahu continue to track each other closely in Leo, only a few degrees apart- causing conflicts with spiritual matters, authority, teachers and leadership matters, as well as power and passion. Additionally, Sun and Venus move together, combust, through the sign of Taurus. The heat is on! A purification process is taking place within you. Honor this clarifying process with rest, pause and attention to your receptive self. Whatever the challenge, the answer is healing your inner conflicts, the battle within. Gather the resources you need to create new pathways of healing. Monday, May 23rd Moon in 2nd tithi Dvitiya Moon continues through Jyestha until noon. Let your morning be simple and clarify what you need for mental stamina this week. Write to-do lists, clarify and organize. Let meditation and nature be your morning resources in order to set the tone for the week to come. As Moon leaps to Mula midday, Nirrti arrives with her chaos and confusion. She is adharma, against dharma, meaning she can provoke challenges that will derail your best efforts for success. Often there is a silver lining and a spiritual purpose for this challenge and calamity, but it can also instigate the addiction to chaos that comes with systemic overwhelm, over stimulation and over attachment to the pain body. Mula nakshatra is a sharp and dreadful nakshatra (Tikshna) which means that strong actions will be supported, while gentle and soft actions will not. Whenever Mula arrives, it is a powerful opportunity to identify how you work with chaos in your life. Do you resist it? Get sucked in? Or do you find the center, where your stability and support is? Today, get embodied. Find your grounding cord. Align with your center. Tuesday, May 24th Moon in 3rd tithi Trityiya The majority of the day, Moon continues through Mula nakshatra. It's important to keep grounding and landing in your body, connecting to your core wisdom. Continue to notice your relationship with the chaos. Early afternoon, Moon shifts to the 2nd constellation within Sagittarius. As Moon moves into PurvaAshada nakshatra, the water goddess, Apas, arrives with her watery ways. There is extra receptivity available as a result. How do you use this? Ruling planet of this nakshatra is the water planet Venus, who is currently in combustion with the Sun. Even with the extra water today, notice the heat, agitation, fire, provoking conflict. Pause, land in the creative flow, honor the wisdom of slow movement and your watery inner landscape. Wednesday, May 25th Moon in 4th tithi Chaturthi PurvaAshada continues to share its watery wisdom the majority of the day. Venus and water goddess, Apas, rule this constellation. Flow, fluidity and movement continue to be resources for the day. Water moves- whether gently or harshly. She reminds us to move the inner waters and keep the emotional body in transformation. Where are you resisting the flow? Resisting your emotional body waters, your creative power? As Moon shifts into the latter half of this constellation late afternoon, the Vishvadevas bring their support with UttaraAshada. Nobility and right conduct are the orientation of this star. There is dharmic support here when you align with your inner knowing. When you by-pass this inner intelligence, you will miss the messages. Sometimes when you think you're doing something right, you're still not listening. Inner wisdom is not about the "should" or "have to" or the "supposed to". Listen to that part of you that says stop, slow down, the part that knows what changes to make. Just before midnight, Moon moves to Capricorn, receiving Saturn's structured gaze. The Moon will feel this pressure in the coming days. Honor Saturn's need for slow, steady steps. Honor challenges as warning signs that you need to make adjustments, changes and find new resources. Thursday, May 26th Moon in 5th tithi Panchami Moon moves through Capricorn and UttaraAshada until late morning when it arrives in the sacred 28th nakshatra, Abhijit. This is a time to attend to spirit and the needs of your spiritual body. Meditate, spend time in nature, set intentions for the days and weeks to come. Stay connected to your inner realms and be in the receptive. This portal lasts until early evening. Use this day to align with your spiritual center and choose your actions accordingly. Moon shifts to Sravana as the Abhijit portal closes, ushering in the wisdom of Vishnu and his expansive, dharmic awareness. Vishnu and Sravana will deepen your ability to hear, listen and absorb wisdom through the ears. Vishnu is connected to Akasha, space. He is omnipresent and flows through you and around you, allowing you to sense, feel and hear spiritual guidance. Trust your inner compass and let it guide you. Listen carefully. Friday, May 27th Moon in 6th tithi Sashti Today offers strong feelings and a connection to your emotional body wisdom- if you listen and honor the messages. As Moon continues through Sravana, a Moon ruled nakshatra, your feelings will be enlivened. The 6th tithi (Moon phase) is ruled by Venus, another layer of your feeling body. Creativity and your ability to manifest, require that you are aligned with your feelings properly. If you block them or resist, your creative powers will be suppressed as well. Are you in right-relationship with your emotional body wisdom? You'll know by the way you respond to the waves. Be present to what arrives. Use this to guide you into action. As Moon shifts to Dhanishta nakshatra early evening, the Vasu Devas bring their light, shining and jyoti. They want you to shine- from the inside out. What is keeping you from shining your brightest? What part of you says no to being seen, noticed, acknowledged, accepted and fully able to love yourself? Saturday, May 28th Moon in 7th tithi Saptami Mid morning, Moon arrives in Aquarius, the domain of Saturn and Rahu. Moon will be conjunct Ketu in the coming days, while receiving drishti from Jupiter, Rahu and Mars. There's pressure, heat and wisdom available. Can you sift through the shadow in order to find the light? Moon moves through the territory of the Vasu Devas today, bringing light, shine and illumination. The Vasu Devas support being seen and they shed light on things- both internally and externally. They like to declare and proclaim, shout from the mountain tops and have their revelations be heard. They like to be in the light and as a result they want to be seen and acknowledged. This illumination and witnessing is yours if you move towards your truth and inner power. You are an attractive, powerful force. What is standing in the way of your full illumination- being seen and witnessed as a powerful force of truth, light and authority? What is keeping you from your dharmic path, from wealth and ending the struggle with your destiny? Early evening, Moon shifts to Satabisha nakshatra. Honor your health and inner needs. Ruling deity Varuna sees all. He brings punishment through challenges when you don't honor your body wisdom. He forces you to align with Natural Law and reminds us that prevention is the best medicine. Sunday, May 29th Moon in 8th tithi Ashtami Moon continues through Satabisha today until mid afternoon. Spend the first part of your day, clarifying and clearing, attending to health and healing needs. Ruling god of Satabisha is Varuna, who is considered the king of kings, ruler of Nature's Laws, cycles and rhythms. He keeps order in the universe and sees all mistakes, misalignment and misdeeds. He has immense, vast knowledge and awareness which is his offering today. Do you stay in the critic or invite in a more full vision of truth and right? Where are you resisting parts of yourself and others and staying limited in your site? Let go and release as Moon conjuncts Ketu today. Once Moon moves to Purvabhadra Nakshatra, a need for balance emerges between inner and outer. Ajaikapada, a form of Nataraja, brings presence to both realms- heaven and spirit, as well as earth and human. How can you integrate and land on both feet? Monday, May 30th Moon in 9th tithi Navami Start your week with the theme of balance, integration and embodiment. Keep landing within and honor the parts of yourself that are in conflict, confusion, disoriented. Part of you is moving forward, but the rest of you is resistant to the change. Part of you is in the body, the other part of you is trying to jump out. As Moon continues through Ajaikapada's domain, staying grounded is imperative. What grounds you? What reminds you that you have arrived within? That you are present to your being? Reach in, move within, land within your inner landscape. As Moon shifts to Uttarabhadrapada early afternoon, Ahirbudhnya arrives with depth, introspection and a call to the inner wisdom that lives inside you. Dive deeply into your inner terrain and find the places that are keeping you from wholeness, empowerment and strength. Ruling planet of this constellation is Saturn. His placement in Scorpio right now will certainly support your deep, inner exploration, but you'll have to lean into the resistance that blocks your path. * All timing is in Mountain Daylight Time- one hour ahead of Pacific Time, one hour behind Central Time and two hours behind Eastern Time.

This Week's Intention: Keep moving towards your soft, silent center. Notice the whispers of your soul and allow this inner wisdom to move you into being. Honor the closings and openings present. Say yes to forward movement by aligning with right-action. This new Moon week begins with depth and silence as four planets continue in retrograde motion. The inward pull is strong as the emotional body turns inward and multiple retrograde planets invite deeper internal excavation. Sun moving through its sign of exaltation, provokes intensified experiences with power, wisdom, awareness and truth- as well as conflict and challenge. Exalted planets express themselves outwardly, while retrograde planets do the opposite. With Jupiter, Saturn, Mars and Mercury all moving in reverse right now, there is a deep inner calling presenting itself. What part of you is being pulled inward? What part of you is being pulled out? The week finishes with a new Moon and the most auspicious day of the year. Set intentions and be prepared for action steps. Monday, May 2nd Moon in 11th tithi Ekadashi The week begins with Moon in close conjunction with Ketu, moving through Aquarius and Purvabhadra Nakshatra. Duality is strong today, yet there is great possibility for awakening the inner conflicts very consciously as a result. Aquarius exemplifies two paths, opposing forces- opens and closes. Ruling deity Ajaikapada strengthens the polarity dance with his "foot in two worlds" expression. He begins the release and transformation process that the latter half of this constellation, finishes off. Open the door of your awakening process. Notice where you are stepping forward and where you seem to be stepping backwards. Where is the tension between opening and closing? Saying yes and saying no? Tuesday, May 3rd Moon in 12th tithi Dvadashi Just as Tuesday begins, Moon moves to Pisces, the final sign of the zodiac, representing endings, release and liberation. Mid morning Moon shifts to the latter half of the Bhadra constellation, Uttarabhadrapada, ruled by Ahirbudhnya, serpent of the deep. He provokes deep inner investigation and inquiry, digging up hidden, unseen parts of ourselves in order to bring them to the surface, the light. Though Moon is outside of the drishti (gaze) of the other planets, the sign of Pisces is difficult for the emotional body. Notice the movement, change and flux and find a way to dance with the currents. Allow the changes, rather then resisting them. The mind will be challenged by the surrender. Find a way for both to harmonize. Wednesday, May 4th Moon in 13th tithi Trayodasi Mid morning, Moon shifts to Revati nakshatra, ruled by Pushan. Pushan ensures safe travels and fruitful endeavors as well as abundant resources along the way. Ruling planet is Mercury here, who is currently moving in reverse through Aries. Mind is hot, one-pointed and fixed on an outcome, goal and purpose. Notice where you're stuck in accomplishment at all costs. Leave room for surrender, release and honoring your process, rather than product. Mind wants outcome, to know with certainty. Your job is to find the balance between inner and outer, flow and structure. As Moon moves through the final sign of the zodiac, it's as though your inner intelligence has a foot in two worlds- endings and beginnings. What are you releasing and sending off? What are you opening to and inviting towards you? Thursday, May 5th Moon in 14th tithi Chaturdasi Moon leaps to Aries just after Thursday arrives, jump starting a new cycle with opens and arrivals. Where do you feel possibility enlivened? Where are you noticing release is necessary? As Moon moves into Aries, it joins exalted Sun, retrograde Mercury and Venus as well. All receive gaze from retrograde Jupiter and Rahu. Expansion comes with the opening, yet requires release and letting go in order to do so. Where are you resisting the release? Seek new resources and support today for your healing and awakening. New resources mean new results. The first nakshatra of the zodiac, Ashwini, supports your renewal process. Step forward! Moon moves to the final phase of the waning cycle in the evening. Surrender to the silence, the serene, unlimited peace within you. Find ways to pause, listen and check-in with your needs. Just before midnight, Moon shifts to the second nakshatra of the zodiac, Bharani. This fierce star brings Yama's restraint with him. Simplify tonight. Friday, May 6th Moon in 15th tithi Amavasya Moon moves through Bharani nakshatra today, sandwiched between Venus, exalted Sun and retrograde Mercury. The emotional body is vulnerable and charged. New Moon is at 13:30 MDT, while transiting the fierce star, Bharani nakshatra. This is Yama's domain and he requires restraint and simplicity, while also honoring vulnerability and strength simultaneously. He offers the ultimate relationship with transformation- through the death and dying process, as well as birth. The symbol of this nakshatra is the yoni, which signifies great beginnings. Birth after all, is a death process in and of itself. Bharani reminds us that death and life are one and the same, that unity, presence, and ultimately, simplicity, are the path of Yoga. Yama is quick to remind when you are not in alignment with Natural Law, nor in right-relationship with restraint and self control. On this new Moon day, the inner realms will be activated and easily accessible. Access your inner wisdom with creativity, meditation, movement, dance and yoga. Move inwards, towards your Self and listen to the guidance in your silent, soft center. Take time for harvesting your inner wealth and honor the closing and beginning of another cycle. Read more about the new Moon and use my Creative Ritual for deeper harvesting. Moon moves from Bharani nakshatra to Krittika nakshatra early evening. Agni and his transformational energy takes over. Saturday, May 7th Moon in 1st to 2nd tithi Pratipad to Dvititya Moon transits krittika nakshatra, moving to Taurus just as the day begins. As Moon lands in its sign of exaltation, emotional body waves increase but with a certain softening effect. Krittika brings mixed results- both soft and hard. Ruling deity Agni brings a sacred transformational quality with him. He is responsible for change on all levels of your being, clarifying, awakening and healing in the process. All nourishment is digested and assimilated because of Agni, the fire of life. Retrograde Saturn and Mars give their drishti to the Moon over the coming days, bringing a certain heat and pressure with it. Notice how the emotional body feels with the tension of stop and start, yes and no. Saturn is the no, while Mars is the yes. How do you work with the energy of conflict that is arriving, your inner polarities? Early evening, Moon shifts to the powerfully creative star, Rohini. Lord Brahma and Saraswati bring their manifestation qualities to this nakshatra and allow abundant creative potential to take place. Sun and Moon are both exalted and in strong positions right now, leading up to Akshaya Tritiya on Sunday- the most auspicious day of the year. Plant your seeds and tend to your desires with action steps and purpose. Sunday, May 8th Moon in 2nd to 3rd tithi Dvitiya to Tritiya The most auspicious day of the year arrives with Moon and Sun both in their favorite signs of exaltation simultaneously. Moon has shifted to its mulitrikona degrees, but when it arrives in the third tithi (phase) of the waxing cycle, the auspicious support of this time is activated. Akshaya Tritiya officially begins at 06:22 am MDT, once the Moon moves into the third tithi and ends as Moon shifts into the 4th tithi of the waxing cycle at 03:23 am MDT on Monday, May 9th. Moon will be transiting Rohini nakshatra the majority of the time, a highly creative star- connected to manifestation and ruled by Lord Brahma. Lord Brahma and his wife Goddess Saraswati, are the ultimate united team of manifestation, since Lord Brahma created the universe from his navel. Moon shifts into Mrigashirsha nakshatra, ruled by Soma, during the final portion of the Akshaya Tritiya festivities. On this day, take a powerful action step towards your desires, dharma and purpose. Step forward with confidence and clarity! Late afternoon, Moon shifts to Mrigashirsha nakshatra, Soma's domain. Find the nectar of life and be nourished. Move towards that which nourishes and supports you on all levels of your being! Read more about Akshaya Tritya in my New Moon Wisdom article. Monday, May 9th Moon in 4th tithi Chaturthi As Monday begins, Moon shifts to Gemini, receiving gaze from both Ketu and retrograde Mars. The week begins with a bang, literally. Watch for sudden outbursts, events and issues with heat and fire. Emotionally, you may feel overheated today or like the mind is full of hot air. Stay grounded and in your body as much as possible. Keep cool on all levels of your being. Moon continues through Mrigashirsha until noon. Find the nourishment and support of Soma as your day begins. Attend to health on all levels of your being and take time for sacred pause and actions that support your well being. As Moon shifts to Ardra, a certain sharpness arrives. Do you notice the sudden roar? The harshness? An ability to take executive action? Be in touch with your emotional body today and notice what it needs for greater understanding. You may find yourself intensely agitated, filled with grief, overwhelmed with joy or sadness, pain or anger. The waves come strong with Ardra. Rudra's power and strength is ultimately teaching you how to surf with the strongest, hardest waves. * All timing is in Mountain Daylight Time- one hour ahead of Pacific Time, one hour behind Central Time and two hours behind Eastern Time.

The significance of this waning cycle is a strange mix of beginnings and returns. It may feel as though you are making a fresh start on some level, while multiple experiences make you feel otherwise. The pull, the desire for something new will be strong, yet with four of the nine planets retrograde (six counting the nodes), returns and retracing your steps will be forced and obligatory. You say you want something new, a fresh start, and yet there's a part of you saying it's not possible. Your job is to find all those places within you that are resisting and refusing your inner growth, the change process. This will be evident and necessary on all four levels of your being- Physical, Mental, Emotional and Spiritual. Your bodies will bring the messages, so listen carefully to the challenges, reminders and desires returning. Venus in Aries On April 24th at 23:02, Venus moves from its harmonious sign of exaltation, where it received no gaze from the other planets, and crosses the tricky gandanta (gap) into the first sign of the zodiac, Aries. This is a challenging gap because of the endings and beginnings that it provokes, while also being the change between a water sign and fire sign. Inner polarities may intensify as a result. What are you identifying within your relationships, finances, comfort and creativity? Aries feels like an enemy to Venus because its watery wisdom does not care for the fiery, one-pointed nature of Aries, Sun's most potent sign. Sun and Venus are not fond of each other for the same reasons and water and fire don't mix. As these opposing forces conjunct with Mercury, changes take place within all four bodies- Physical, Spiritual, Mind and Emotions. Allow release and letting go to take place, in order for the new to arrive with more clarity. Notice which house Aries is in your jyotish chart. This will express where these challenges will effect you personally. This cycle brings a dramatic glimpse at parts of yourself that are in need of healing. Look at your bad habits directly as the light will be shining on them in order for you to truly see what needs to change. Your mental body will be a potent resource for this change process, so dig deeply to uncover all the places within your mind that are keeping you in the dark. Allow mental doors to open, to unveil the shadows that are holding you hostage. As you bring these parts of your unconscious territory to the surface, you can then find resources to further support your awakening. There will be a strong tug of war between polarities and opposition. Anger will be a default emotion in the coming weeks so start getting more intimate with its messages. Much of the agitation will be a result of frustrations, delays, set backs. The emotional body will be feeling pierced, subjected to pain and challenges, hurt and struggle. You are being handed an opportunity to face your pain more directly so that you can release it and transform it. But first, the battle begins. How do you fight with yourself? How long will you choose to stay in battle before dropping your arms? When will you start listening to what this battle is telling you, what it needs from you? As Venus continues through Aries, each of us will be given an opportunity to deepen the relationship with Self, with the inner realms. The starting point will be discomfort and challenge, but the end point is potentially a grande release, providing you with more space for creating what you truly desire in your life. It is a challenge worth taking on. But one that requires you begin a new path, take new footsteps and gather new guidance and support. Trying to get new results, by doing what you've been doing is a recipe for lack of progress and more intensified struggle. Do something different. It's time for change. Mercury Retrograde Just as Mercury moves to the edge of Aries, it begins to retrace its steps. Mercury has been transiting this fiery and aggressive sign since April 2nd. This mental body cycle has provoked the mind to feel fragile and agitated at times. A release process is being instigated. Notice where necessary clean-up and final release must take place. Honor this process of endings and beginnings. As Mercury transits its enemy's 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. Once Mercury retrogrades on April 28th, the mental body clean up will intensify. Retrograde planets act like the nodes Rahu and Ketu, which invites in more karmic experiences, more intensity. From April 28th to May 9th there will be four planets in retrograde motion- six counting the always retrograde karmic planets, Rahu and Ketu. Many returns will take place simultaneously- physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. This is a strong and powerful clean-up phase. Don't take it lightly. Use this period of time to diligently work through old stories, haunts and shadow parts that you notice re-emerging. You are getting an opportunity to hit rewind- a rare and beautiful gift as a human being. This time, reach out for different resources, something new. Find new support, guidance and wisdom to support your change process. New Moon in Aries and Bharani Nakshatra May 6th, sparks the beginning of the beginning. Renewal and openings roar in with a loud awakening. Heal, awaken and transform. Deepen your relationship with the Divine Feminine and your feminine wisdom. Increase your creative intelligence, balance polarities, heal inner conflicts. Join me for my Jyotish Astrology Classes for Transformation and Healing. There are a few more spaces!

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: Your power is captivating- even to you! You are in an attractive cycle, work it like bees to honey. There are parts of you saying no to the pleasure, ease and increases. It's vital that you look at these limiting beliefs within, in order to maximize the potency of this time. The places where you are resisting your strength and pleasure, are ultimately effecting your relationship with your inner power. Where there is pain, there is also joy. Where there is joy, there is also pain. Notice how your relationships can also mirror very acutely this story about receiving. Where are you saying no to receiving more abundance in your life? Start here. Taurus: Your inner Sun is being asked to bow down and renounce its thrown. As challenging as this may feel, there is great opportunity in the discomfort. Your ego is getting an overhaul in the process and a certain liberation is taking place. Surrender to the moments of release and letting go. Your spikes and edges are being worn down in order for your heart to expand more deeply. Clear the shadows out of your heart space by looking intimately at your relationships. You are saying yes and no simultaneously. You are creating the challenges, conflicts and obstacles. Harmonize these polarities in order to find clarity about what you need, about what works for you and your life. If you're addicted to the pain, seek to find resolution with this. Ask for more support. Gemini: Bad habits are your starting point. Where do you continue to struggle, stay in the dark and use shadow as your vice? Part of you wears your suffering as a badge, the other part of you says it wants liberation, freedom, release. There can be no ease without harmony. Identify all the parts of you saying no to softness, ease and comfort. All the places that refuse to let you have peace. Gains come when you find the places within you that are still resisting. Inner conflicts are keeping you from attaining inner harmony. They are zapping you of power, strength and clarity. It doesn't have to be so hard. There is a simpler way. Find the way of least resistance. Cancer: There is a certain strength, power and brilliance showing up in your work right now. Get seen, noticed and allow people hear your message. Parts of you are saying yes to more power and pleasure, more nourishment and money in life. But fears and doubts are plaguing you, pushing you towards the no and the lack instead. It is an old fear- rooted in uncertainty and instability. Fear of the unknown. It effects your ability to say yes to your life, to your self and to your dreams and desires. It's time to look at this fear straight on. You want the expansion and growth in your life, but you won't be able to find it without being honest about your resistance to it. It's time to find harmony between the yes and the no. Leo: Polarities are working their magic on you as challenges give rise to clarity within. When you can address the conflicts within you directly, deep inner change can begin. These polarities effect your sense of strength and power, your heart wisdom and ability to give and receive love. Conflicts with your dharmic path vs. career path will begin to intensify in the coming weeks. Part of you is saying yes, while the rest of you is saying no. Find all of the yes's and all of the no's. Notice where these inner conflicts are keeping you stuck, resistant, avoidant and not in your dynamic, Leo power place. Letting go is essential for your growth. Where you are gripping too tightly? Allow harmony to support your release process. Virgo: Continue to shine the light on your inner darkness. Keep finding all those places where you are suppressing your strength, power and greatness. This requires consistent, courageous steps and a willingness to stay true to your course of action. Digging deeply will help you discover the places within you that stay in lack, debt, pain and struggle. Part of you doesn't believe there is another way- or that you deserve it. Part of you is more than ready to say yes. Your courage to uncover your darkness and bring in the light, will take you far. Gather new wisdom and support for your liberation process. You'll get radically different results during this transformational time. Libra: Relationships are a powerful mirror for you right now. They are showing you challenges and difficulties, places that make you feel uncomfortable in your power and strength. Are you in right-relationship with your power? Does it feel harmonious and peaceful when you use it? Or do you use anger as your method of power? You are stuck in a paradigm of wanting more nourishment, while also saying no to it. This confusion is creating inner conflicts with yourself and others. Harmonizing your extremes is the only way to create more clarity about what you really need. Nature can't provide for you until you know for certain what you need. This inner knowing arrives when inner battles find resolution. Quit fighting. Seek balance. Scorpio: Deep healing can take place if you allow yourself to re-trace some old, familiar steps. Cover the territory of your heart with new creativity, new courage. Step into your warrior spirit and honor your inner strength. There are parts of you that still don't trust or accept your inner power. These are the pieces that must be integrated and harmonized so the you can step into your power more fully, in a more awake way. Channel this power effectively and turn it into an offering for others. Let your power be known, let it be seen and heard. Why are you still hiding? Where are you still shrouded by your past? Sagittarius: You are working intimately with power and strength right now. Learning how to step into empowerment more clearly, while figuring out how to use this power to move you forward. Your gut intelligence is a vital part of this process. Listen carefully to the messages arriving within. Intuition is your ultimate power; unwavering inner knowing. This inner awareness will help you clarify your dharmic path and purpose. Seek to harmonize the parts of you that say yes to a more fruitful and passionate life and integrate them with the places you are still saying no through resistance, avoidance and self sabotage. Liberation is possible right now, but only with greater awareness about what you're actually letting go. Capricorn: Your heart is teaming with power and potential. Passion and inner fires are being stoked. Reside and linger in this place of warmth and strength. Your power comes from within. Can you find its source? Beyond the conflicts and struggles, the pain and the torment, is a place of stability, grounding and unwavering earth energy. Deepen your relationship with this inner grounding force. What are the resources that help you connect with this place of resolution? Beyond the battle ground of right and wrong, is this place of deep inner knowing and certainty. This is where all your strength lies and where gains are acquired. Keep leaning in and saying yes to this certainty. You actually do know. Aquarius: Your awakening continues to take shape from head to toe. Creative courage is taking place, but requires your diligent action steps and some re-programming on your part. Start with your mind and re-pattern from inside to outside. This will pave the way for new possibilities and greater potential in your life. Relationships will still be supporting your change process- if you use them for teaching you about yourself. There are struggles and gains with "the other", but if you can use both as a resource for inner growth, it's only going to be a win. Career steps may be frustrating. Harmonize action steps with attentive pauses. You'll get a lot more done. Pisces: Nourishment continues to play a key role in your path right now. With Venus newly in your 2nd house, conjunct exalted Sun and Mercury, watch for resistance, struggle and conflict with your needs. Part of you desires more, but part of you is saying no simultaneously. Find those places within that are refusing to accept more life force, more nourishment, money, love and comfort. This is a great source of healing for you. Clean up these conflicts, and you'll be cleaning up some very old habits that keep you from stepping into your power more fully. Freeing up more power and clarity will do wonders for your dharmic path. Heal, awaken and transform. Deepen your relationship with the Divine Feminine and your feminine wisdom. Increase your creative intelligence, balance polarities, heal inner conflicts. Join me for my Jyotish Astrology Classes for Transformation and Healing. There are a few more spaces!

This Week's Intention: Part of you is ready to awaken, the other part of you is resisting. Part of you is moving forward, while the rest of you is moving in reverse. Where are you in conflict with opening and closing? Seek to unite these opposing forces within. The week begins with a debilitated Moon sandwiched in between retrograde Saturn and Mars. This puts pressure on the emotional body and stirs conflicting feelings. Transformation is afoot. Can you feel it? By the end of the week there will be four of the nine planets in retrograde motion (six, counting the always retrograde nodes, Rahu and Ketu). Returns are inevitable. Wherever transiting Jupiter, Saturn, Mars and Mercury are moving through your personal jyotish chart, you can expect returns in these areas of your life. Themes surface of inner transformation, personal power and sense of self worth. Where are you saying yes within? Where are you saying no? Look for these conflict zones within your mental, emotional, physical and spiritual bodies. Monday, April 25th Moon in 4th tithi Chaturthi Moon continues through Anuradha nakshatra until midmorning when it shifts into Jyeshtha nakshatra. Moon is neatly sandwiched in between two challenging planets- Mars and Saturn- both retrograde. There is pressure, heat and conflict being provoked. Saturn and Mars represent opposing forces, while Scorpio increases the symbol of polarities and seeking transformation. The mental body will be your most potent resource for change today. How are the inner conflicts keeping you locked in old programming, stories and limiting beliefs? How do they zap you of your power, focus, clarity and ease? Seek harmony with these extremes, the yes and the no. What do they really need for deep surrender? As Moon shifts to the other side of Saturn early evening and out of the intense conjunction of being in-between both Mars and Saturn, some relief will be felt. Notice your feelings change late evening and invite in a new wave of possibility. Tuesday, April 26th Moon in 5th tithi Panchami Today may feel like a chaos day as Moon shifts into Sagittarius and Mula nakshatra mid morning. Retrograde Jupiter and Rahu give their gaze. Chaos gives you direct access to your polarities, the energies that are stirred when opposing forces collide. Ruling deity Nirrti purposely works with chaos as a means of keepoing you from your dharmic path. Her darkness breeds adharma, or lack of dharma, which is why she's considered a Rakshasi, a female demon. Your lack of clarity is Nirrti, as well as your invitation to chaos and overwhelm, stress and the shadow. The solution is dissolving the conflicts within, finding unity, harmony, yoga. Take extra time today for sacred pause, deep listening, meditation, honoring your needs and finding creative solutions. Don't feed the darkness, honor it and set yourself free. Integrate dark and light forces within. Wednesday, April 27th Moon in 6th tithi Sashti Late morning, Moon shifts to Purvashada nakshatra and the strength of Apas arrives with clearing, purification and cleansing. Her watery wisdom is not always gentle, but insures change and transformation by default. Ruled by Venus, this nakshatra will invite issues with power, sense of self, and a certain stubborn tenacity with it. Where are you being too rigid? Where do you need to surrender to the flow more? These polarities are at play and magnifying the need for integration. Can you find the middle of yes and no? Find the places within your mind that are showing mirroring your own rigidity and resistance. Allow the softening, the loosening of what is gripping you. If you're serious about creating inner harmony, yoga, within all four bodies, please join me for my new Jyotish Astrology Course for Transformation and Healing. I'm still accepting a few more students into the group but you must register before April 30th. Email Me For Details: swatijrjyotish@gmail.com Thursday, April 28th Moon in 7th tithi Saptami As Moon shifts to the latter half of the Ashada constellation, Uttarashada, late morning, the Sun's energy takes over. Whereas yesterday a Venus quality was offered, today has a different tone. Sun is currently exalted and conjunct its enemy, Venus, as well as Mercury, who is at the edge of Aries. The expression of the Sun is hot and will bring heat to feelings, relationships, money and the mental body, while provoking its clear agenda. The masculine nature of the Sun is in direct conflict with the watery, feminine expression of Venus, while Mercury (the mind) follows the orders of its king directly. The Vishvadevas preside over this nakshatra, requesting right action, integrity and alignment with the Laws of Nature on multiple levels of life. Today may have strong flavors of right and wrong arriving. Your job is to seek the middle ground. Notice where you tend to stay in black and white. Find the gray and linger. Late afternoon, Moon moves to earthy Capricorn, receiving gaze from Saturn directly. The emotional body is extra sensitive and will request stability and support. Get physical and move the emotions before they get stuck in a lingering mood. Friday, April 29th Moon in 8th tithi Ashtami Moon moves through Capricorn with Saturn's gaze. The coming days will require structure, support, timeliness and consistent action steps in order to accomplish or achieve. Working with the needs of the physical body and balancing rest and activity will be essential. The emotional body may be depressed, agitated or extra porous, so honor the needs of your watery wisdom with attentiveness. Early morning, Moon moves through the sacred portal and 28th nakshatra, Abhijit. This is considered a special junction point with specific spiritual connections. Use your morning for spiritual practices, deep listening, and spiritual body presence. As Moon shifts into Vishnu's domain, Sravana nakshatra, just before noon, a certain connection to expansion arrives. Vishnu and akasha (space) exist everywhere, bringing dharma, truth (sattya) and powerful wisdom with him. Attend to you sacred steps today. Honor your path with devotion, commitment and attend to your inner wisdom. Align with spirit today and ask for extra support and clarity. Saturday, April 30th Moon in 9th tithi Navami Late morning, Moon shifts to Dhanishta nakshatra, the domain of the Vasu Devas, or the light bearers. They bring light, awareness, truth and clarity, while supporting manifestation on the material plane. The Vasu Devas originated from jyoti, light, and therefor are the originators of Jyotish. There is a strong desire to achieve and create with this nakshatra and as the ruling planet Mars expresses, this is not an idle star. Use your time wisely today. Notice where you are stuck, restricted, frozen and resistant to creating change in your powerful life. Look for the conflicts within you between yes and no. What does the "no" need? Lean in and listen, let the tension and pressure dissolve and release. Late evening, Moon shifts to Aquarius, joining Ketu here. Retrograde Jupiter and Rahu give their direct gaze, as does Mars. The emotional body may feel extra heat and pressure in order to expand in the coming days. Soften your steps and lean in closer, rather than pushing or forcing outcomes. Sunday, May 1st Moon in 10th tithi Dashami Moon continues in Dhanishta until late morning, shifting to Satabisha around 10:30. Varuna's nakshatra brings a stern and punishing gaze to all. He has a certain agenda, one that forces order, restriction, "right" and "wrong". Disobeying his laws will bring afflictions to health and well-being. He sees everything and nothing gets past him. Today it is necessary to follow his orders, align with Natural Laws and cycles. Eat on time, rest on time, eat nourishing foods and balance rest and activity. Moon's conjunction with Ketu will insist that you simplify and cut out anything that brings disconnection or disassociation to your being. Keep it simple, get embodied, go for nourishment. Release and transform. Monday, May 2nd Moon in 11th tithi Ekadashi The week begins with Moon in close conjunction with Ketu, moving through Aquarius and Purvabhadra Nakshatra. Duality is strong today, yet there is great possibility for awakening the inner conflicts very consciously as a result. Aquarius exemplifies two paths, opposing forces- opens and closes. Ruling deity Ajaikapada strengthens the polarity dance with his "foot in two worlds" expression. He begins the release and transformation process that the latter half of this constellation, finishes off. Open the door of your awakening process. Notice where you are stepping forward and where you seem to be stepping backwards. Where is the tension between opening and closing? * All timing is in Mountain Daylight Time- one hour ahead of Pacific Time, one hour behind Central Time and two hours behind Eastern Time. If you're serious about healing and transformation- please join me for my new Spring/Summer Jyotish Astrology Course. I'm still accepting a few more students into the group but you must register before April 30th. Email Me For Details: swatijrjyotish@gmail.com
