This Week's Intention: Gather the abundant resources swirling around you and within you. Invite in a new level of support and nourishment. Moon is waxing and is gaining potency this week as we near the full Moon on Saturday. We are still in the delicate two week gap between solar eclipse and lunar eclipse though. With Sun, Mercury and Ketu still transiting Pisces, themes continue to surface around endings, loss, letting go and surrender. The sacred celebration of the Divine Mothers, Navaratri, has ended but if we've been paying close attention, some new nourishment and awareness should have arrived. The full Moon arrives this week on Saturday, marked by a lunar Eclipse. Eclipses represent the shadowed self, our inner darkness that must come to the light. In the Vedic tradition, this is not a time to take risks, start new endeavors, or to over-exert. It is a time, however, of turning inward, of meditation and contemplation and a time to take extra care of the physical body with good routine etc. The solar eclipse on March 20th marked the beginning of a delicate two week period which will end with the lunar eclipse and full Moon on April 4th. Traditionally starting new endeavors during this delicate eclipse period is not advised. There are still challenges until we see Sun and Mercury move out of Pisces and into Aries mid month. Be gentle and work with power issues. Monday begins with a waxing Moon in the 11th tithi, with swelling lunar tides expanding our emotional cups. The emotional body is a potent theme because Moon transits its own sign of Cancer and conjuncts retrograde Jupiter here. Both are in Ashlesha nakshatra today, enlivening Sarpa, the serpent deity. Don't get pulled off course by illusions and overconfidence. Diligently going beyond the surface of the mental body will be vital for gaining clarity and wisdom. Tackle emotions head on and inquire what the need is underneath the emotion. Pacify the mind today. Magha nakshatra insists that Tuesday start with a jolt of energy and extra charge! The ancestors are conspiring with us today to insure that we learn something new about power and force. Ketu and Sun are in exact conjunction right now so be aware that the ego may get a few jolts of electricity- either positive or negative charges. Sudden shifts are possible today. Try not to let the mind run away with you. Use your stories to uncover hidden inner terrain that is keeping you from your full potential. Now is the time to shine. Let yourself be cracked open.

I've also just re-launched my Be Your Gift class series for those seeking deeper support for their sensitivity. Sign up to hear the replay. As Moon shifts into Purvaphalguni early Wednesday morning. The day offers us an ability to plant new seeds and cultivate a rich sensuality thanks to the deity Bhaga and PurvaPhalguni nakshatra. Whatever was re-arranged yesterday has offered us an opening into greater nourishment and creativity today. Are you allowing in the creative flow of ideas and possibilities? Don't block the life force and let in the support as it shows up. Get your needs met. Early Thursday morning, Moon moves to UttaraPhalguni nakshatra, the latter half of the Phalguni stars. This constellation gives us the opportunity to be nourished from sustainable endeavors, things that last. It's through time that we ripen. Time allows us to deepen our trust, commitments, a sense of stability and support. It's through long term relationships of all kinds that we can find deeper nourishment. Notice where this sustainable nourishment and support is arriving for you today. Even if you are still feeling fragile and raw from the previous days, I encourage you to look for the people and places that are helping you gather your strength and resiliency. Let Saturn's drishti on the Moon right now be a support for finding helpful structures. Moon is in the 14th tithi now and our inner tides are high! As Moon jumps into Virgo midday Pacific time, it conjoins Rahu. Both get the impact of debilitated Mercury, Sun and Ketu from seven houses away in Pisces. Moon and Rahu give their drishti to this energetic combination in Pisces as well. There is a strong dance of the mind right now and though it's highly fragile due to Mercury's debilitation and its conjunction with Sun and Ketu, we can also access a more intensified awareness at this time if we are diligent with it. We must "strong arm" the mind to keep it from going into fear and terror. Keep yourself out of mental torment with clarifying tools like EFT- Emotional Freedom Technique. Get embodied and stay grounded. Use somatic wisdom to get you there. Make sure to be checking in with all three levels of awareness. Are you using a three level check-in? Mid morning on Friday, Moon moves into Hasta nakshatra, nearing Rahu. This is Savitr's domain. He brings the light at the end of the tunnel and reminds us there is light to be had. With Rahu's shadow effect on the Moon we may be struggling to find the light source, or challenged in some way emotionally. Trusting in the light will guide you back to it. Affirm your sense of self, strengthen your inner core. The ego and our sense of power are both getting restructured right now and the mind is spinning its many stories to support or negate this process. Stay true to who you are and what you are. Keep moving towards what you want for your self and your life. Be nourished by wisdom and working with the hands. Full Moon, Saturday, April 4 at 07:04 CDT with Moon in Virgo and Hasta Nakshatra. A Lunar Eclipse occurs simultaneously and it is Hanuman Jayanti. Total lunar eclipse begins at 04:03 CDT and ends at 09:58 CDT. Eclipses bring a shadow effect to everything they touch. In this case, our emotional body, the Moon, receives this touch of darkness, of illusion. Moon conjoins Rahu during this full Moon, while in Hasta nakshatra, Savitr’s domain. This full Moon offers us a chance for a new beginning, new light. Savitr is responsible for bringing us light, jyoti, and is associated with the first crack of dawn that emerges on the horizon each day. It’s this dawning that awakens us, helps us rise into a new day. Savitr brings us new possibility, new potential, new hope, and he does so with awareness— seeing with fresh eyes, with awakened eyes— often through new wisdom. Recite Gayatri Mantra for extra support at this time. Want more Vedic details about the power of this full Moon and the coming waxing cycle? Need some new resources to help you embody the theme of this time? Get my 2015 Moon Wisdom Calendar and embody this cycle. As the Moon moves away from Rahu on Saturday, we may feel a bit more emotional breathing room within us, however manage lingering feelings of pressure and overwhelm by getting embodied and attending to your self care. Tides are high right now, so everything will be bigger and more intense- positive and negative. Moon transits Chitra nakshatra after midday and Vishkarma brings his support for building and creating. His plans require that you take one step at a time and watch your steps add up. This is important for whatever you are building- good health, a solid relationship, a prosperous business. Take calculated and powerful steps today. Be intentional with your actions. Just after midnight on Sunday, Moon shifts into Libra, receiving direct gaze from Mars and Venus who are both in Aries. Moon changes to Swati nakshatra midday and Rahu's influence reappears. (Swati is ruled by Vayu and also the shadow node Rahu). Both qualities intensify change and movement. Vayu is the wind god and his role is to bring us the "winds of change" to help us make necessary shifts in our life- whether forced or gentle. Whatever changes occur, use them as a way to deepen your awareness and bring you a new level of inner sight. This theme carries us through Monday. *Timing and calculations are using Pacific Daylight Time. Did you catch my *free* class Ultimate Self Care for Sensitive Types?

A reminder to all those who are sensitive, who feel deeply. Perhaps you are like me, feeling the rawness of this sacred time, the fragility of this Navaratri eclipse time. For most, the subtle messages from the feeling level are nudged aside, neglected, tucked thoughtlessly away. But for those of us who have bigger feelings, more intense feelings, we can't so easily let our feelings and emotions hide. Not to say we haven't tried (or still don't occasionally). When you give up trying to resist your depth of feeling life, this is a turning point. And this is probably where we will cross paths.... When you start to recognize that your feelings are the pulse of your life, this can offer great awakening. It's not necessarily that the feelings, or the emotions that arise from these feelings, are in and of themselves healing. But if you are awake and savvy, those feelings can be amazing resources for your transformation and healing process. Our feelings are pathways to becoming more and more awake. Awakened to our needs, wants, and the whys behind them. Feelings are always a response to our personal mythology. A reservoir of our life experiences. So if you feel deeply, you are one of the lucky ones. You have easy access to what can awaken you and bring more consciousness to your life process. We are the gifted ones, but can so easily get off track and lose our sense of inner trust, our resiliency. I know personally that great sensitivity is both a blessing and a curse and we must guard it like the precious gift that it is. Some days, like today, when the rawness of life is strong and tears are unstoppable, I remind myself that I am here in this body to feel. That is why I chose to be a human I believe- to feel the full range of my humanness. Not just the good, the easy, the light and joyful parts. But also the dark, vulnerable, fearful and tragic parts as well. And though I know this dance between the hard and the soft is a choice, a very conscious one, I choose to work with both very intentionally. We are both light and dark. (And Jyotish is the study of this which is why I use it). Those of us who are sensitive know how thin this veil is between these realms and just how overwhelming that seems at times. Consider this as your reminder to keep going. Even when it's hard to take another step. Don't lose hope that life will bring another day, another dawn. Surf your waves and find a shore, but be ready to surf again. Bring presence to your breath and to the soft landing that is your physical body; its sensations will help you land back in the now. Remind yourself how sacred your internal and external space is. Keep company that is nourishing to you and find environments that do the same. When the darkness arrives, thank it, work with it, let it share its messages. Then use great care to peel back the layers of your truth. Above all, when you're walking through fire, the best rule is always to keep walking. Continue feeling, but keep the feelings moving. Treat your sensitivity, your ability to feel, as the gift that it is, and it will bless you with its many offerings. Here is to your embodied movement forward- with grace, care, and presence to your own sacred existence. Attending to your sacredness is the ultimate self care. Nourish yourself!

As multiple planets touch the re-structuring heat of Ketu on their way out of Pisces (endings) and into Aries (beginnings), we will feel many areas of our being getting reformatted. The portal between Pisces and Aries opens up once Venus starts the procession from the end of the zodiac into the beginning. Mars follows suit March 23rd, then Mercury and Sun in April. This gandanta (gap) is particularly challenging, signifying deep inner change while ushering in insights and support from higher realms. Multiple parts of ourselves are going through upheaval and release. Trust the process and learn the art of surrender as you face your fire. Saturn begins his six month retrograde motion on March 14th. This is an event of re-visiting our structures, support systems- both internally and externally. The returning process is happening on an emotional body level which will demand our complete attention- especially as Jupiter continues to transit through the heart-centered emotional water sign of Cancer. The inner work that we commit to at this time will be lasting, deeply rooted change. This will bring transformation on the physical and emotional body levels. Read more about Saturn's transit through Scorpio and how he is impacting each sign. This waxing Moon cycle falls in between the delicate two week gap between solar eclipse and lunar eclipse. The spring celebration of the Divine Mothers, Vasant Navaratri, falls during this delicate two week gap. The nine day celebration begins Saturday March 21st with Moon in Pisces conjunct Mars, Sun and Ketu, intensifying themes of loss, release and letting go. Read more about Vasant Navaratri and how to make the most of this sacred time. I'll be sharing a 10 Day Self Care Challenge in my newsletter in the coming days for some extra resources. Make sure you're on my list. Remember that eclipses represent the shadowed self, our inner darkness that must come to the light.

Take bold and powerful action steps. Stand in your power and resolve to get your needs met. Don't take no for an answer. There is fear, uncertainty and a weakened ego to contend with, but confronting this darkness is part of the battle right now. These are old haunts and you are all too familiar with them. How you choose to work with these emotions and stories right now determines how you will move forward from here on out. Be bold.
Taurus: As you work more consciously with gains and losses, you may be noticing how life becomes almost neutralized as a result. Plus one, minus one, the result is still the same. There is an important message here for your ego and your mind. You don't change, no matter what is occurring around you, to you, through you. You stay the same. You are the neutral, the non changing. Be that non-dual state and use it as a way to overcome the fears and illusions that arrive. Gemini: It's important to be using your career right now as a self development tool, a resource for inner change. The way we handle our business is the way we handle our life and vice versa. If you are feeling the upheavals and changes with your offering to the world and how you offer yourself, it's time to start surfing the waves with more intention. How can you use these challenges as an opportunity for growth? What new resources and support do you need as you strengthen your business skills? Cancer: Very necessary parts of yourself are being restructured- pulled apart so you can put them back together more consciously. This re-structuring process has everything to do with you stepping into your dharma, your path, more aligned and more certain. Take some courageous action steps and put yourself out in more visible ways. Get the attention and recognition your ego needs to feel more confident in moving forward. You've done this before and you will do it again, but right now, your actions determine how you will thrive in the coming months. This will change the course of your path so let your steps be conscious. Leo: Changes are occurring in you from the inside out and helping you touch upon deep wounds of the past. Your ego and sense of self is going through many transformations. Some new passion is being re-kindled in this process so tend to this inner flame carefully. This requires being diligent and gentle with your emotional body right now. The keys are within your heart. The emotional body will be a necessary resource to help you unlock other hidden messages. Keep your eye on the prize and trust there is light at the end of the tunnel. Don't go down with the sinking ship! Stay connected to your purpose. Virgo: Uncertainties continue to plague you. By now, I hope you are figuring out that the best use of your time and efforts is to deeply surrender. Not roll over and take it, but in fact release and let go of your old attachments. These attachments are causing you great pain and suffering which are in fact the wounds you must transform and heal. Ketu in your 7th house is helping you shift your relationship attachments and find a new sense of inner strength simultaneously. You are building courage but this is a slow process. Let your steps be intentional. Libra: You are truly getting a chance to work on some very lingering bad habits. To heal and transform parts of yourself that are keeping you from succeeding powerfully and with conviction. Ego and mental body are getting cracked open, undermining your sense of comfort and support. Nourishment may feel fleeting or lost, but if you're paying attention, these themes are all too familiar. How can you move forward more consciously? How can you get some new support? What relationships are showing up to help you with this? Build a deeper relationship with your vulnerability. Scorpio: Feeling sensitive? That might be an understatement, so tending to your fragility with grace is truly the challenge. I believe this is possible as you acquire and gather new resources for yourself right now. Notice what is arriving to support you at this time of great transition and change. Learning to trust your gut intelligence, your instincts and intuition in deeper ways is part of what you are learning. This deeper relationship with your inner intelligence is truly just the thing you need for becoming more empowered. Trust the process. Sagittarius: Let the small comforts in, whatever may be returning. Notice if some of these returning comforts are actually bringing more pain instead. Perhaps you've outgrown some parts of yourself? Your needs have changed? Whatever this new awareness is, mark it and pay homage to it intentionally. The heart is learning and growing and helping you expand into new territory. Honor this and sense the strength in your core that is helping you reframe this time for yourself. Celebrate small victories. Capricorn: It feels like you've been here many times before. There's a strange comfort in this pain and transformation. Are you addicted to the pain? Do you use it as creative life force energy? Do you require it to thrive? Is it somehow a strange sort of medicine for you to stand in the fire like this? I believe so. There's something you still need from this darkness and all that you are confronting right now. What are you ready to release this time once and for all and what do you still need to cling to? Suffering can get very comfortable. Be aware of your comfort levels. Aquarius: You are finding new ways to be nourished, but not without facing your malnourishment in the process. The pains, the turmoil and the angst is a result of not being able to absorb the nourishment in you and around you. There are reasons for this and they come from your family system, your early childhood experiences. The sooner you are willing to bravely unpack these challenges and haunts, the sooner you'll be able to rebuild the life you've been waiting to live. Ask for support. Pisces: You've been getting the pressure from all sides dear one. In fact the major planetary shifts that have been happening for weeks now have all been happening inside your head. This is a time of deep awakening, of being cracked open in very intimate and intense ways. It would be completely normal for you to be feeling fragile, vulnerable and raw right now. The most important steps though are the ones you take to slowly piece yourself back together. Like Wabi Sabi, let the gold replace the broken places. This Week's Intention: Awaken your life force energy and boldly step forward on your path. We have passed the new Moon and have entered the waxing cycle. We are now in the delicate two week gap between solar eclipse and lunar eclipse. This week is entirely dedicated to the Divine Mothers during the Navaratri festivities. The nine day spring celebration of the Divine Mothers, Vasant Navaratri, begins Saturday March 21st with Moon in Pisces conjunct Mars, Sun and Ketu. Themes surface at this time around endings, loss, letting go and surrender. Read more about Vasant Navaratri and how to make the most of this sacred time. I'll be sharing a 10 Day Self Care Challenge in my newsletter in the coming days for some extra resources. Make sure you're on my list. The sacred celebration of the Divine Mothers happens to occur between eclipses this year. Eclipses represent the shadowed self, our inner darkness that must come to the light. In the Vedic tradition, this is not a time to take risks, start new endeavors, or to over-exert. It is a time, however, of turning inward, of meditation and contemplation and a time to take extra care of the physical body with good routine etc. The solar eclipse on March 20th marks a delicate two week period which will end with a lunar eclipse and full Moon on April 4th. Traditionally starting new endeavors during this delicate eclipse period is not advised. The week begins with Moon moving from the 4th to the 5th tithi (Moon phase) of the waxing cycle. Mars moves into its own sign, Aries, at 09:46 am PST. Having crossed the tricky gandanta (junction point) between Pisces and Aries early this morning, Mars jumps right into one of his favorite places, the fiery, tenacious sign of Aries. Mars in Pisces offered transformations within our warrior nature to be confronted. A placement that required surrender and letting go of agendas. Now that Mars has stepped into Aries, it's time to bring back a sense of commitment, focus and goals. The coming five weeks of Mars in Aries bring a sense of renewal, strength and agility to our warrior self. Let your courage out of hiding and bring its potency into your action steps. The ego still has a refinement process to go through right now, but working consciously with your inner warrior will help with this change. Monday, Moon transits Aries with Venus and Mars. Use courage and strength today, but temper it with new intentions and desires. This is the third day of Navaratri and the final of three dedicated to Ma Durga. Her ferocity is with us! Channel it consciously. What are you releasing of your old self in order to fully embrace your new inner power? Now is the time to purge and transform. You may still be in the cocoon phase, but this is a vital part of the change process. Use today to get clear on what you really want and need. Watch your temper and self track your anger. What's the underlying need? The Moon helps us extract and refine a new clarity on Tuesday. As it moves to Taurus and becomes exalted, creativity is enlivened. This can help us create some clarity and creative waves. The gaze of Rahu and Saturn on the Moon, however, bring a harsher experience to an otherwise soft experience. Moon is in Rohini nakshatra today and its ruler, Lord Brahma, assists us with the creative process. As the clouds part and your new resolve emerges, what are your new convictions? What are you discovering about your needs? What nourishment can you assimilate today that will help you with this process? It is the fourth day of Navaratri and the first of three dedicated to Maha Lakshmi. Her abundant forces are being enlivened to help you feel the nourishment of life force moving in and around you. Let in the love. Themes of abundance and nourishment continue on Wednesday, which give rise to new pathways of creativity. Possibility, hope, and a renewed sense of courage arrive later in the day. This results in an expression of creative courage, a desire to keep growing, branching out and achieving. Make your desires known and get your needs met. Ask and you will receive. It is the fifth day of Navaratri and the second of three dedicated to Maha Lakshmi. Her nourishing forces are here to support you and your needs. Are you making yourself available to receive her gifts? Read more about Vasant Navaratri and how to make the most of this sacred time. I'll be sharing a 10 Day Self Care Challenge in my newsletter in the coming days for some extra resources. Make sure you're on my list. Thursday brings powerful waves of emotion. How do you channel this passion? Mercury moves to the edge of Aquarius, intensifying the mind. Worry, anxiety and fear might be heightened today. The challenge will be transforming these mental body woes into something more hopeful. Keep possibility alive. Get creative, innovative and entrepreneurial. Gain momentum by channeling your creativity and ideas effectively. Today is the third day of Lakshmi and the sixth day of the Navaratri festivities. How can you extract some greater nourishment from your experiences today? Themes of intense power and emotion and the storms from Rudra's energy, continue through Friday until Moon shifts into Punarvasu nakshatra late in the day. Mercury moves to Pisces, its sign of debilitation, at 12:53 PST, joining Sun and Ketu here. The trail of planets that has been passing through Pisces over the past weeks continues. As each planet passes through this sign of release and surrender, it is getting restructured by the touch of Ketu. Sun (ego and soul) is getting Ketu's transformational effects right now. Mercury is next! Our mental bodies will be going through many shifts and changes over the course of the next two weeks. Fast moving Mercury will be keeping us on our toes. Look for themes in your mental/imaginal body that connect to death, release and letting go. Using EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) with this process of release will be vital. As we move into the final days of the Navaratri celebrations and the first day of three dedicated to Maha Saraswati, it's time to reflect on the events of the previous days. Look for themes and stories that connect to your personal mythology. The goddesses are supporting your change and transformation right now. Everything that is arriving at this time has a purpose, a meaning, a lesson for you to learn. Look carefully and take in all the messages. Softening arrives on Saturday as Moon moves to its own sign, Cancer, midday. It joins retrograde Jupiter here which offers a gentle landing. Drishti from Mars invites in passion and power as well as a devotional quality that connects us to the Divine Mothers. We may feel a heavy sigh of relief from the week. Let your exhale be poignant and slow. Receive nourishment from wisdom and knowledge right now and absorb it deeply. Let your heart wisdom speak and share its awareness with you. Find clarity through balance. It's the second day dedicated to Maha Saraswati and the 8th day of Navaratri. On this auspicious day, Ram Navami, or Lord Rama's birthday, is also celebrated. Rejoice in the power and bravery of your dharma. Take a courageous action step on your path. Let the light of your soul lead the way. Sunday marks the final day of Navaratri which ends with one last day in celebration of Maha Saraswati. What is the nourishing wisdom you are gathering at this time? What insights, revelations and desires have stirred you over the past nine days? These are powerful messages for your months to come. These are the stirrings of Shakti within you, the seeds of desire you must plant. Be present to your own unfolding story. The majority of Sunday, Moon transits through Pushya nakshatra and themes of nourishment and support continue. Let your self receive wisdom, guidance and fulfillment. Let your heart be filled with hope and gladness. What do you wish to plant in your garden? Put these seeds in the ground! Let the feeling of abundance be prominent today. This is how we manifest. Late in the evening, the mental body might distract us. Stay connected to your heart wisdom, the feelings of nourishment you are cultivating in your life. Don't be swayed. Let the tenacity of your heart carry you through Monday. My Jyotish Basics Classes have begun! Don't miss out on these transformational and healing classes. Registration closes March 29th!
