Moon Mind :::
Monday 8.26 Moon has crossed over Ketu, as both are in Aries. Moon is receiving drishti from both Saturn and Rahu. Moon is transiting Bharani nakshatra today, ruled by Venus and Lord Yama. Yama has to do with self-restraint, restrictions, death and transformations as well as that which is dharmic. Death is dharmic and Yama enforces the judgments at the end of one's life. There's no escaping his decisions nor the transformations of the death and dying process. Today, we may feel relationships and excesses are dying out, or causing us duress on some level. Vehicles, passion, creativity, the feminine, finances etc. can bring us issues as well as emotions. Note that this is likely due to some imbalance with these areas of our life. As Moon moves to the 7th tithi today at 14:05 CDT, there will be a greater influence of Saturn on the day. This will maximize any pressure, anxiety or stress we may be feeling. Watch for anger and aggression. Take a walk, have a cup of tea in silence, meditate, create art. Make your lists and dream today, even if it feels impossible or too far out of reach. *Horoscopes for the week of 8.26 will be out later today. Sign up for my weekly newsletter here.

Moon Mind ::: 7.28
Moon enters Aries at 12:23 CDT and into Ashwini nakshatra. A new moon cycle begins around the zodiac. Some sense of completion may be felt or an open-ended feeling of "this and" as we invite in the new cycle. Moon will be crossing (and in conjunction with) Ketu over the next 2.5 days. Emotional insights, outburst, heightened intuition and sudden change are possible. Use this time for self care, tending to the emotions, clean up around diet and self-process. Get out of the head and into the body as a preventative measure. Try not to over-think things. Today: Pause and take three slow, deep breaths. Then do a 3 level check in. Notice the emotional body, mental body, physical body. Write down a word for each of these bodies that expresses your experience of these "levels". Extra credit: Turn these "resource words" into a 3 line poem or a haiku. Notice how this informs your daily process. {Photo of my current location: Allalin mountain- Saas Fee, Switzerland, the Alps.} The month starts with Moon creating a fresh start in Aries and transiting the first of the 27 nakshatras- Ashwini- as it crosses over Ketu. We will likely feel the experience of something new settling in, a pull towards fresh experiences, the sense that some shift has occurred.
Mars moves to Gemini (an enemy’s sign) on 7.4 where it joins Jupiter, Mercury and Sun there. The mind sharpens- keep it soft rather than letting it get rigid. Saturn goes direct after months of retrograde movement on 7.7 at 23:49 CDT. Structures, plans, intentions begin to move in the “right direction.” New Moon on 7.8 at 02:14 CDT in Punarvasu nakshtatra. Sun moves to Cancer on 7.16 at 04.51 CDT. A new sense of compassion may set in. Venus moves to Leo on 7.17 at 08:43 CDT. Notice your intentions/attention gain a new power this month. Notice how these forces move from the inner landscape, to the outer landscape now. Take action, have a fire ritual, use this as a tool for dynamic activation. Mercury goes direct on 7.20 at 13:19 CDT. Mind begins to move in a forward direction with less resistance and out of “clean up” mode. The month closes with Moon going exalted in Taurus. Another cycle around the zodiac complete. Full Moon is in Capricorn at 13:14 CDT on 07.22 in Uttarashada nakshatra. It is also Guru Purnima- the fullest full moon of the year and most auspicious full moon in the Vedic calendar. Honor your gurus, teachers, guides, your lineage and the masters that have helped you on your path. This is a very sacred day of expansion, purpose, power and sattva. Meditate, chant, do sacred acts that bring gratitude. Jupiter is now in Ardra nakshatra ruled by Rahu, giving drishti to Rahu/Saturn in Libra as Rahu simultaneously give drishti to Jupiter in Gemini. Both Rahu and Saturn currently transit Swati nakshatra, ruled by Rahu and Vayu- the wind god. Consequently, there is an exchange of energy here between Rahu and Jupiter as well as a heightened expression of Rahu right now. For some this will offer big expansion in a worldly sense, for others chaos and calamity. Be aware of storm energy and a tendency toward overwhelm. The momentum that is jumpstarting here will carry us forward for the coming weeks and months. Prepare for change, movement, activation and shifts. Sattva will be tainted by the shadow energy of Rahu. The temptations are strong right now for rajasic behaviors, the foreign and unusual, and general extremes- especially on the mental, emotional levels. Meditation may prove impossible as well as being on a good routine. Do the best you can. Perhaps find liberation in the opposition. We can use this time for “de-centering”, which will later help us return to our “balance” with greater understanding and clarity. Don’t fall too far off the wagon. *Due to travel, horoscopes will be postponed until early August. Moon Mind ::: Moon Mindfulness
Wed, 07.03.13 Moon in Aries in Krittika nakshatra, ruled by Agni and the planet Mars. Moon moves to Taurus (its place of exaltation) at 16:20 CDT. Today is about creating clarity, purification and burning out impurities- mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually. Be mindful of pushing too hard, forcing things to happen. Later today, seek emotional comfort and ease. Do what is necessary for a bit of peace, sanity, mental comfort. Dance your dance- even if it's messy. Moon Mind ::: Moon Mindfulness
Tues, 07.02.13 Moon in Aries and transiting Bharani nakshatra. Moon crosses over Ketu at 20:05 CDT {expect a sudden shift involving relationships, women, mental attitude, wealth, comforts and matters of heart and emotions}. Bharani is ruled by Venus and Yama- lord of death and transformation. Bharani is extremely sensitive, perceptive, and relies on self control and restraint for success. Bharani is a fierce nakshatra- one that is connected to destruction, killing, fierce action and the like. There are inevitable endings today and it will require your deep surrender into the unknown. Let the death be a graceful one. Mars is sandhi, moving towards Gemini. Mercury and Saturn are retrograde. Anger around communication issues might be an understatement. Keep your cool or explode if necessary. Move the body and be somatically receptive for best results. Embodiment is always best practice. Om Shanti. |
