Moon Mind Calendar {January 16th to 22nd}

---

This Week's Intention: Integrate, harmonize, align.
Identify your highest truth and purpose. What do you need to do
in order to fully activate this desire?

Moon is waning this week, starting out in the 4th tithi (phase), ending the week in the 11th tithi, nearing emptiness. This week Mars finally shifts out of conjunction with Ketu and into Pisces, completing the Kala Sarpa yoga effects of the past many months. Extremes begin to find their integration and harmony now. Keep finding ways to align with your polarities and support their union. This is an ongoing dance, but the unique combination of planets we've experienced recently won't come again. Let the lessons find their way into completion for now.

Two significant planets, Saturn and Jupiter, are in sandhi degrees right now- meaning they are in gaps between signs and in the 28 and 29 degree range (each sign spans 30 degrees in full). Saturn is preparing to shift into Sagittarius for the majority of 2017, causing immense changes, turmoil and transformation. Planets increase in power and strength as they leave a sign. The portal between water and fire is open, as is the gandanta (gap) that signifies challenges, chaos and uprooting. The coming year of Saturn in Sagittarius is upon us. Read more about the impact of this delicate transit.

Jupiter goes retrograde on February 5th and won't go direct until June 9th, 2017, strengthening his impact and increasing his effects for many months. As he continues to transit Virgo, each of us is learning about our need for clarity and creativity right now. Read more about his impact on your rising sign.

Moon in 4th tithi to 5th tithi
Chaturthi to Panchami

Near mid day, Moon arrives in the latter half of the Phalguni constellation, Uttaraphalguni. Aryaman rules this domain of the sky and is the other half of Bhaga's resources. Aryaman however brings resources through your long term commitments, providing sustainable results and comfort and support due to your dedication. He especially likes marriage commitments and contracts that bind and unify. Through the process of hard work, you receive the fruits of your efforts. Phala means fruits or results in Sanskrit, while guna means qualities. The qualities of your fruits are determined by your intentions and efforts.

Tuesday, January 17th
Moon in 6th tithi
Sashti

Moon transits Virgo, conjunct Jupiter. Expansion, friendliness and wisdom are supported today. Just after noon, Moon shifts to Hasta nakshatra, bringing the support of Savitr to the day. He is the god of dawning, the light and awakening. What light is rising within you? Where do you feel this light within your body? Mars gives his gaze to the Moon and Jupiter, activating and supporting action steps as well as emotional aggravation. Put that power to good use.

Wednesday, January 18th
Moon in 7th tithi
Saptami

Early afternoon, Moon moves from Savitr's domain in the heavens, to Vishvakarma's domain. As the friendly Moon energy arrives in Chitra, a powerful alignment with action, karma, is stirred. A certain creative power and potential is activated. Take action steps today and find your clarity. Activate the karma yogi within! Align with your power and purpose, your dharma. What action can you take today that moves you one step closer to your dharma, to right action, to your soul's purpose?

Thursday, January 19th
Moon in 8th tithi
Ashtami

Just as Thursday begins, Moon arrives in Libra. The vacillation of this moveable air sign is too overwhelming for the constant change of the Moon. It needs more grounding and consistency to feel safe and comfortable. Ketu also gives his gaze to the Moon, which provokes sudden changes and instability in the coming days. There may be triggers that make you feel ungrounded and disconnected from your body. What do you need for grounding, safety and support today? As Moon shifts to Swati nakshatra early evening, the necessity for grounding is even more important. The winds of change are blowing. Don't get swept away in the currents.

Sun is currently transiting Capricorn and Uttarashada, the domain of the Vishva Devas, or all-gods. Late evening, the Sun arrives in the 6 degree 40 range, which opens the portal of the 28th nakshatra, Abhijit. This nakshatra is considered a very spiritual portion of the heavens, which can support great visions, awakening and understanding. Sun will be in this domain until mid day on the 24th of January. The coming days are potent and ripe with potential. Stay close to Spirit. Meditate, move in nature, seek clarity and simplicity. Listen for messages and watch for omens from your inner and outer wisdom. Activate and align with your dharmic purpose.

Friday, January 20th
Moon in 9th tithi
Navami

Moon transits Libra and Swati nakshatra today, stirring movement, change and vacillation. The Moon needs more grounding, stability and holding to feel supported. What can you do to help yourself feel held, contained and connected? This pattern of disconnection and instability is very old. The addiction to chaos and turmoil is extremely compelling. The ultimate liberation, however, is being able to witness your storm, rather than succumb to its overwhelming and constant churning. Let the ocean of milk within you churn, but watch it carefully, rather than get stuck in its overpowering waves. Learn to surf and make friends with your inner currents. Today gives you practice. Late evening Moon moves to Vishaka nakshatra and your inner and outer duality will beckon for your attention. Integrate, align and harmonize polarities. Make peace with inner and outer opposition.

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

Saturday, January 21st
Moon in 10th tithi
Dashami

Moon moves through Vishaka nakshatra and Libra the majority of the day, sparking the need for integration and harmony. This impacts relationships- with self and others. Clarify what you need and make sure your actions are aligned with your inner truth. Are you saying yes, when you really mean no? Plug energetic leaks and get clear on your boundaries. Clean up any communications that have been left unattended to. Be mindful of your anger and the aggression from others. What's yours and what is not? This is a powerful day to honor your inner wisdom and honor its messages. Notice where you merge too easily with others, rather than staying grounded within yourself. As Moon shifts to its debilitation sign, Scorpio, late in the day, it's even more vital to stay connected to your own inner knowing. Intuition strengthens. Are you listening? Late evening, Moon arrives in Anuradha nakshatra. Make friends with your inner realms. What is your soul's message to you?

Mercury moves out of Mula nakshatra today, supporting more calm, harmony and creativity in the mind. The past many weeks of mental turmoil and chaos can find some calm now. Are you addicted to the chaos, or can you find the harmony within your mental body? The lack of clarity means you are resisting something. What inner truths are you resisting and refusing to align with?

Sunday, January 22nd
Moon in 11th tithi
Ekadashi

Moon transits Scorpio and Anuradha nakshatra, the "friendly star". Moon collides with Saturn in the coming days, begging you to attend to your body wisdom, emotions and undigested grief. Saturn is the planet of your grief, while Scorpio stirs your depths. As the Moon (your emotional body) mirrors these layers of your being right now, it's vital to allow your deeper inner waves to emerge. Where are you holding back? Where are you resisting? Let your body be the portal, the entry point, for leaning in. Listen and look. Pause to check. What is your emotional body sharing with you? Honor its wisdom and allow the release to take place. Resisting will only intensify the pains. Reach out to others and ask for their support and holding, but don't forget to make friends with your inner realms with silence and stillness.

Monday, January 23rd
Moon in 12th tithi
Dvadasi

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