Moon Mind Calendar {January 23rd to 29th}

---

This Week's Intentions: Are you ready for the big waves of change arriving? What are you holding onto that needs to be released and purged? What stands in your way of the nourishment you seek? Affirm and strengthen your inner grounding, then radically allow the new to enter
and ride the waves.

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

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

Monday, January 23rd
Moon in 12th tithi
Dvadasi

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

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

Tuesday, January 24th
Moon in 12th tithi
Dvadasi

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

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

Wednesday, January 25th
Moon in 13th tithi
Trayodasi

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

Thursday, January 26th
Moon in 14th tithi
Chaturdasi

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

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

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

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

Moon in 15th tithi
Amavasya

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

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

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

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

Saturday, January 28th
Moon in 1st tithi
Pratipad

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

Sunday, January 29th
Moon in 2nd tithi
Dvitiya

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

Monday, January 30th
Moon in 3rd tithi
Tritiya

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