Moon Mind Calendar {January 9th to 15th}

---

This Week's Intention: Ride your inner waves with conscious intention.
Go slow. Pause. Listen. Honor your feeling wisdom.

Moon is waxing and becomes full (Purnima) late in the week, just before the auspicious Vedic celebration of Makar Sankranti. Sun shifts to Capricorn as well, marking an awakening of the Sun and an invitation of more brightness, light and prosperity. Mercury has just gone direct, but continues through the challenging nakshatra and gandanta (gap) of Mula, causing uprooting, changes and chaos on the mental body level. Seek spiritual resources to ground and align with your inner wisdom.

Venus has shifted to the outside of Ketu, past the cutting and release of this Moksha "planet". Relationships, creativity, money and comforts are getting restructured, but begin to find a new sense of harmony and balance. The past months of extremes caused by the Kala Sarpa Yoga are finally seeking integration and release. Allow the extremes of the past months to find their new set points. Honor the new.

Saturn is now in the gap between Scorpio and Sagittarius, at 28 degrees, moving closer to the edge. Planets increase in power and strength as they leave a sign. The portal between water and fire is opening, 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.

Monday, January 9th
Moon in 12th tithi
Dvadasi

Rohini nakshatra is activating immense creativity today. Lord Brahma is the ruling deity here, which by default includes his wife, goddess Saraswati. Together, they bring forth the ability to manifest, channel creative intelligence and put creativity into right action. Desires are brought into form. Use your creative powers with great intention and honor your ability to create the life of your dreams. Jupiter and Saturn both give their gaze to the Moon today- strengthening balance with expansion and contraction. Find evenness and balance with your inner and outer realms, as well as spiritual and material desires. Clarify your desires and put them into action.

Late evening, Moon shifts to Mrigashirsha nakshatra, increasing Soma and branching out. Extend your reach, offer an olive branch, seek peaceful resolution.

Tuesday, January 10th
Moon in 13th tithi
Trayodasi

Mrigashirsha nakshatra rules the day, inviting in its deity, Soma, to nourish and protect. Soma is another name for the Moon. He is friendly, personable and creative, increasing playfulness and joy when in balance. Moon is also an expression of the ancestors and of plants because they are infused with Soma (divine nectar) by the Moon's rays (filtered sunlight). As Moon moves into Gemini early morning, creativity and communication increase. Mercury and Sun give direct gaze to the Moon, as well as Ketu. The mind and emotions are quick, sharp and changing swiftly. Sparks of insight and wisdom will arrive if you're pausing to check. Early evening, Moon arrives in Ardra nakshatra and Rudra's powerful emotional quality sets in. Move your emotional body with diligence and allow the waves to surface. Safely release anger, pain, frustrations, sadness and grief.

Wednesday, January 11th
Moon in 14th to 15th tithi
Chaturdasi to Purnima

Moon continues through Ardra nakshatra, instigating Rudra's power and strength. He especially harnesses emotional body power, causing big emotions to stir. Ride these waves intelligently. Notice what is under the surface and allow it to move out and through you. Repressed emotions are a big reason why Ardra's power gets bottled up and misdirected. The Moon is also entering the Purnima phase today. It's full, large and highly expressive. Your cup may be running over, so let it move and release in healthy, intentional ways. Ketu, Sun and Mercury continue to offer their gaze to the Moon, stirring sudden thoughts, emotions and triggers. Resource from your feelings. What do you need for safety, holding and grounding? Late afternoon as Moon shifts into Punarvasu nakshatra, a smoothness arrives as well as resources from Aditi. Let her wisdom invoke a unification process- self with divine intelligence, oneness.

Thursday, January 12th
Moon in 15th tithi
Purnima

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

Mid morning, Moon shifts to its own sign, Cancer, activating more nourishment and emotional body resources over the next few days. Moon is outside of the gaze of the other planets as it moves through Cancer, allowing the full expression of the Moon to awaken. These qualities include deep feeling, nourishment and emotional body wisdom. These themes strengthen as Moon shifts to Pushya nakshatra mid day. Sun is now at the edge of Sagittarius, preparing to leave the sign of dharma and leap into Capricorn. What is your soul's true purpose? Align more fully with this wisdom.

Friday, January 13th
Moon in 1st tithi
Pratipad

Nourishment and emotional body receptivity are strengthened as the Moon continues through Cancer and Pushya nakshatra. Bhrihaspati brings counseling, awareness, support and resources through wisdom. Ask for guidance and support, gather resources for more awakening, reach out for tools that support your inner knowing. Listen to your emotional body intelligence today and open your heart. As Moon shifts to Ashlesha nakshatra mid day, Sarpa energy increases. Illusions, delusions and confusion can set in. Deception and mistrust may cloud your clarity and truth. How can you align with your heart wisdom and come back to your core truth and powerful essence? Sift through the mental and arrive back in the pure essence of feeling, heart and inner harmony.

Sun shifts to Capricorn at 18:46 MST, beginning a new cycle of increased light and brightness- inside and out. As Sun arrives in Makara, an Earth sign, a steadiness and work oriented dynamic is enlivened. Jupiter gives his nourishing gaze to the Sun (both friends), although its debilitation sign is Capricorn. Increased support and strength begins to shine more brightly- with relationships, support, resources and connections. Saturn gives his gaze to Capricorn (his own sign) and Jupiter as well, bringing increased balance and integration between expansion and contraction. When Jupiter and Saturn align, great balance is possible. This supports an integration and harmony with the Sun, your power source. Challenges with power, authority, the masculine and father have the opportunity to find resolution and new resources in the coming cycle. It's time to step out more powerfully, to align with your purpose more intentionally and strengthen your dharmic steps. This will require you honor your power, your light, and your inner masculine energy with more clarity, focus and commitment.

Moon in 2nd tithi
Dvitiya

Late morning, Moon crosses the gandanta between water (Cancer) and into fire (Leo), colliding with Rahu and Magha nakshatra. This is a lunar constellation that provokes the ancestors, particularly the father and his karma. Rahu has been activating this shadow work in very intensified ways over the past many months as he's moved through Leo. His transit through Magha is bringing to light much of what has been hidden for so many months now. As Moon arrives in this combination, it acts as a mirror, bringing to light that which is hidden (Rahu) and provoking it to rise to the surface, your conscious awareness. Look for issues with power, authority (as well as inner authority), light, purpose, dharma and duty. What is dis-empowering you? What do you need to do to rise and shine?

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


Sunday, January 15th
Moon in 3rd tithi
Tritiya

Late morning, Moon shifts to the inner edge of Rahu and into Purvaphalguni nakshatra. A fresh, fertile and vital nakshatra, Bhaga brings resources and blessings in the form of comforts and pleasure. He is the lord of wealth and happiness and brings sensual and sexual pleasures in a variety of forms. Track desires and pleasures with awareness today. What strong cravings are arriving? What needs are not being met? What dissatisfaction lurks within? There is tension and frustration possible in relationships today. Honor new beginnings and fresh starts. What do you need to clarify in order to move forward with more nourishment and ease?

Monday, January 16th
Moon in 4th tithi
Chaturthi

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. Clarify your actions and intentions today. make sure they are aligned with your highest purpose, truest needs and desires. Early evening, Moon moves to Virgo and joins Jupiter here. Receive the nourishment of wisdom and support. Seek resources and tools for greater results.
