Moon Mind Calendar {December 5th to 11th}

---

This Week's Intention: “In the face of this we pray. In the face of this we love. In the face of this we forgive. Because the vast majority of water protectors know this is the greatest battle of all: to keep our hearts intact.”
~ Lyla June Johnston, a young Native leader.

Moon continues to wax this week, gathering strength and emotional body impact. Mercury and Rahu move to new nakshatras this week, creating potent adjustments to the effects of the transits. Read more about the impact of these changes. Sun collides with Saturn this week, making for some challenges and discomfort- especially with the masculine, ego and physical body. Grief is moving through the body, supporting release with masculine pain body, identity and empowerment. Ease this process by leaning into your grief and pain. Notice where you're resisting it. Resist and it will persist.

As shared previously, Mars has shifted to Dhanishta nakshatra and Jupiter moved to Chitra nakshatra early this morning. The Vasu Devas and Vishvakarma supported the light and the rebuilding of contracts taking place at Standing Rock right now. More light has arrived, more alignment with right action.


Monday, December 5th
Moon in 7th tithi
Saptami

Moon shifts to Dhanishta nakshatra just before Monday begins, joining Mars in this constellation as well. The eight Vasu Devas rule this portion of the sky, bringing to light desires, dreams and ambitions. Wealth is a gift of the Vasus, one of the many resources supported by the manifestation powers of these Devas. As ideas awaken into action, resources and wealth arrive as well. The Vasu Devas bring the light (jyoti) so look for flickers of insight, wisdom and ideas through sudden flashes of awareness today. 

Sun moves into closer conjunction with Saturn this week, deepening the release of grief around masculinity, ego, spirit and physical body. Attend to your shadow with rigor and intention right now. As we near the still point of the year, Winter Solstice, there is a deep emptying taking place on all levels of your being. Support this process of gentleness and ease through intentionally moving closer to your inner realms.

Tuesday, December 6th
Moon in 8th tithi
Ashtami

Satabisha rules the day as Moon moves through Varuna's nakshatra. His all seeing abilities bring scrutiny, enliven the critic, and complicate health. When Varuna is against you, nothing can remove his pain and challenges. When Moon travels through this constellation, it's a reminder to make prevention a priority. Move into right relationship with actions and choices that support your well being. Eat well, on time, and do activities to support your health. Don't get off track. Rahu rules this constellation which can increase poor food choices and bad habits. Stay true to course and align with nourishment. Despite the challenges of this nakshatra, it can also bring immense healing support and wisdom as well. Clarify and release the challenges today. Gather support and resources for ease. Moon is in exact conjunction with Ketu midday, causing sudden shifts changes and unexpected emotions and experiences. As Moon moves to the other side of Ketu later today, the Kala Sarpa Yoga breaks. We enter a two week period of release and integration.

Wednesday, December 7th
Moon in 9th tithi
Navami

Just as Wednesday arrives, Moon shifts to Purvabhadrapada nakshatra and more balance becomes vital. Today requires integration between opposing forces. This may feel challenging and impossible, yet with your intention, great strides can be made. Moon shifts to the outside of Ketu and into Pisces late evening. Polarities are asking for you to integrate and harmonize their opposition. This will support more ease, balance and focus in the coming two weeks. Jupiter gives his gaze to the Moon in Pisces, offering nourishment, wisdom and extra support. As the Moon moves into another cycle of completion, what are you letting go of? It's time to intentionally find release and arrive at your true essence. Keep it simple. Stay grounded. Get close to the body.

Thursday, December 8th
Moon in 10th tithi
Dashami

Just before Thursday begins, Moon arrives in the latter half of the Bhadra pada. Uttarabhadrapada is ruled by the Naga, Ahirbudhnya. Sarpas are snakes that bring deception and illusion, while Nagas are serpents that support wisdom, deeper knowledge and insights. You must dive deep into the subconscious terrain in order to grasp the pearls of wisdom that the Nagas offer. You won't find them on the surface. How deep are you willing to go? Late evening, Moon shifts to the final nakshatra of the zodiac, Revati. There is still some lingering uprooting taking place in the mind. Attend to the release, the cutting and the letting go.

Mercury moves out of Mula nakshatra today and into Purvashada, the domain of Apas, the water goddess. This is a Venus ruled nakshatra and supports the creative and communication essence of Mercury. Communication, creativity and relationships get a boost of support, especially with the current exchange of energy between Mercury and Jupiter (Jupiter is transiting Virgo, ruled by Mercury and Mercury is currently transiting Sagittarius, a Jupiter ruled sign). Expect a lift with your thoughts, ideas and connections in the coming days. You've been pulling up weeds and tilling your garden. It's time to start intentionally planting some new seeds through conscious thoughts, words and actions. Think abundantly!

Friday, December 9th
Moon in 11th tithi
Ekadashi

Moon transits the final nakshatra of the zodiac, Revati, enlivening Pushan, the deity of safe passages, journeys and travels. He removes obstacles on the path and provides resources to support the journey. Jupiter gives his gaze to the Moon, softening the mind and expanding hope, possibility and options. Think big, then think even bigger. Late evening, Moon crosses one of three tricky gandanta points in the zodiac, shifting from Pisces into Aries. As the Moon leaves water and enters fire, it lands in a Ketu ruled nakshatra, Ashwini. This is a vulnerable gap that instigates change, forced release and sudden, unexpected changes. Mars and Rahu give their gaze, instigating confusion, aggression and strong feelings. Shift from challenge into resource. Re-frame your difficulties and look for the silver lining. For some, big gains may arrive. Ask for a boon.

On December 9th, Rahu shifts into a Ketu ruled nakshatra, Magha. This nakshatra is considered one of the three gandantas- junction points between water and fire signs. These portals are particularly notorious for creating immense transformation and change. Ketu is currently transiting a Rahu ruled nakshatra, Satabisha. This exchange between Rahu and Ketu will bring to light much of the darkness and deception that seems so illusive right now. Nothing is what it seems. The Sarpa (serpent) energy being activated right now is increasing the extreme highs and lows taking place inner and outer. Things go well and support comes, but then this is taken or it vanishes somehow. All is illusive and in constant change.

The shift of Rahu into Magha will activate the ancestors and increase the forced cutting and release process taking place currently. Magha brings magnanimous action and a royal spirit with profound accomplishment and visibility. It's shadow side is excess ego, misuse of masculine power and extreme or aggressive force.

As the necessity for being in right-relationship with the masculine energy comes to the surface right now, notice where you are pushing too hard and forcing outcomes.

Saturday, December 10th
Moon in 12th tithi
Dvadashi

Moon transits Ashwini nakshatra, a gap that supports rejuvenation, revitalization and renewal. Support the body mind with healing and stability. Hit re-set and land more fully within. What are you releasing right now? Prepare consciously for the cycle ahead by allowing the release to take place fully. Early evening, Moon moves to Bharani nakshatra and more restraint is required. Yama brings certain control and commitment to containment. He owns simplicity and clarity about outcomes as he determines what the nature of your karma is. All karmic judgment goes through Yama! Clarify your needs, commitment levels and relationships. What needs to be restructured so you can get your needs met more directly?

Sunday, December 11th
Moon in 13th tithi
Trayodasi

Moon continues to transit through Bharani nakshatra the majority of the day, stirring Yamas restraint and judgment. This constellation is symbolized by a yoni, which expresses great strengh, as well as the powerful portal of death and life. All birthing requires a death and all deaths by default create a birthing. Ruling deity, Yama, is connected to both territories- as he judges ones karma at the gateway of both life and death. Stay true to the transformations taking place within you today. What is dying and what is being reborn? Allow the release to take place and make your intentions known. Early evening, Moon shifts to Krittika nakshatra and Agni's transformational energy supports your transformations even further. Lean in. Late evening, Moon jumps into its sign of exaltation, Taurus, bringing the emotional body to full capacity. Move with the tides, not against them.


Mars moves to Aquarius on December 11th at 05:54 am MST, joining Ketu here. Both receive direct gaze from Rahu which will instigate a certain closing of the Kala Sarpa Yoga effects. No doubt there will be an intensification of the rocky past few months as Mars nears exact conjunction with Ketu on December 27th. There will be some final release and forced letting go as a result of these two fiery planets conjoining in the sign of duality. There may be confusion about how to integrate porlarities and extremes until Mars shifts to Pisces on January 20th. Mars is the warrior planet- not a thinker, but an action taker. He does not lead with his mind or his heart, but with his action-oriented approach to life. "Doing" is his claim to fame. Ketu brings cutting, sudden shifts and changes, awakening through release, as well as trauma through sudden loss. He is the tail of the serpent energy that Rahu instigates. As the Kala Sarpa Yoga comes to a close with this Mars cycle, expect themes with polarities  to present themselves more aggressively. This is a time of radical integration and alignment with your True Self.

Monday, December 12th
Moon in 14th tithi
Chaturdasi

Moon is nearing Purnima (fullness) and emotional waves increase to high tide. Moon transits Krittika nakshatra, Agni's domain, sparking the fire of life, the powerful force of alchemy and transformation. Moon is exalted for the first hour of the day, promising a potent week ahead. As the morning takes hold, Moon moves into its mulitrikona degrees- still strong, but the intensity dwindles. Just after noon, Moon moves to Rohini nakshatra, the highly creative star notorious for manifestation and material wealth. What are you manifesting in the cycle to come? Get clear on your goals, action steps and intentions.
