The week begins with Moon finishing up its transit through Virgo, conjunct debilitated Venus, Mars and shadow planet Rahu. This crowded combination amplifies relationship work as well as money issues. Shadows with commodities and luxuries may surface. Moon is waning and has entered the 14th tithi the final phase before the new Moon or Amavasya.

Diwali is under way and the festival of lights invites us to awaken and increase our inner brightness with the support of Lakshmi and her divine nourishment. With the debilitation of Venus, conjunct Rahu right now, it’s an ideal time to be working with obstacles and challenges connected to money, nourishment and vitality. What is keeping you in the dark? What needs to shift, change and transform in order for deeper support and stability? Transform darkness into light.

Monday continues the action-oriented power of Chitra and Vishvakarma. Ruling planet of Vishvakarma, Mars, may be pushing his agendas with force, anger, agitation and frustrations. Today, Mars and Rahu are in tight conjunction. Extra tenacity, force and strong convictions emerge. Notice where you are holding and resisting, keeping you from surrender. Attend to calculated, steady action steps. Where there is force, there will be frustration or challenge. Go slow and soften your steps today. Attend to physical body and self care attentively. Moon is moving into the final phase of the waning cycle. Turn your gaze inward and attend to your relationship with Self. Moon shifts into Libra late morning, joining debilitated Sun and Mercury here.

Today is the third day in the Diwali celebration and is dedicated to Hanuman, the much loved and revered monkey god. His strength, and devotion to Lord Rama, are honored today. May we each awaken to the compassion, strength and love within us!

Late Monday evening, Moon shifts to Swati Nakshatra, Vayu’s domain. Movement, shifts and changes arrive and winds pick up- inner and outer. What direction do they move you? Or do you stay rooted and grounded within?

Tuesday, Moon continues to move through Swati nakshatra and the wind god, Vayu, invites in sweeping changes. Does he offer you gentle breezes or powerful gusts? Can you stay firmly planted or are you swept away with his powerful and mighty movement? Attend to your inner winds today. Align with prana diligently and attend to its messages. Harness these inner winds and you will maximize your power and vitality. Moon arrives into the 15th tithi, Amavasya, today and moves towards complete emptiness. Mars and Rahu still travel in close conjunction with debilitated Venus in Virgo with them as well. Relationships, money and comfort may feel charged and intense. Anger, fixation, one-pointedness can emerge. Notice where you can drop, release and change.

Today, is the fourth day of Diwali. Light your lights!

Just as Wednesday arrives, Moon shifts into Vishaka nakshatra and the dual god, Indragni expresses its support and co-creative energy. Connect, collaborate and share. Gather resources from others and find support in new ways. Today is Diwali! Celebrate life, vitality, light and wealth! Let Lakshmi nourish and support your with her many abundant gifts and resources! Read More.

The new Moon is at 11:47 CST while Moon transits Libra and Vishaka nakshatra. Moon is conjunct debilitated Sun (as it always is during the new Moon) as well as Mercury. There is a gentleness and deeply inward focus for this new Moon. The natural tendency is to turn inward during the emptiness of Amavasya, but debilitated Sun amplifies this inward stroke. Physical and spiritual bodies request attention and focus. Meditate, spend time in nature and deepen embodiment. New harvesting may take place with your inner realms so be sure to make space for listening through pauses and contemplation. It's a powerful time to clean up and attend to unfinished business on the emotional, mental and physical body levels. Let spirit support you with these shifts and changes.

Relationships and money are a big part of the transformations that are taking place during the new Moon and into the waxing cycle. Relationships and money are connected to Venus, who offers comfort, support and the necessary nourishment for life itself. Venus provides life support, shakti, and the necessary flow of love in order for us to connect and harmonize with life. We can't do this alone, it's a collaborative effort. Challenges, frustrations and blockages arrive to help you make adjustments and move towards new pathways of nourishment and support. What obstacles are you noticing? What is arriving that is asking you to take a deeper look? Attend to necessary changes and transformations at this time in order for more Venus support. Gather resources and tools to assist you with inner change.

The critic will have an agenda all its own in the waxing cycle. It's focus and fixation needs a good rattling in order to soften and offer more flexibility. Notice where you are resisting and refusing. How is your rigidity serving you? More importantly, what does your critic need? It may be hiding behind protection or a false sense of safety. Let it come towards the light and invite it over for tea and scones. Deepen your relationship with your inner critic- including all the stories it kicks up around shoulds, have-to's, supposed to's and musts. These illusions need to be awakened and cleared in order for growth to take place. Where are you trapped, locked in to old patterns of being and believing? Now is the time to liberate yourself and remove the veils. Keep moving towards deeper and deeper nourishment- the kind that invites in safety and support, stability and inner knowing. You'll know this nourishment when you are embodied and the felt senses are enlivened. This is not something the mind can offer.

Late evening on Wednesday, Moon shifts to its debilitation sign, Scorpio. Keep turning inward and attend to your inner landscape.

Thursday, Moon continues through Scorpio and its debilitation here provokes inward focus, vulnerability and sensitivity. As moon conjuncts Saturn during this transit, attending to the emotional and physical bodies is vital. In the wee hours of the morning, Moon shifts to Anuradha nakshatra and moves closer to Saturn. Watch for depression, feelings of isolation, grief, release and letting go that may instigate inner sensitivity. Connect with friends for support and stay out of minor details. Don't get sucked into the little things, try to keep a big picture focus. Find soft landings in the physical body. Track sensations and keep coming back to the inner landscape of your being. Find sensations of comfort, support, safety and ease- even if there are overwhelming challenges elsewhere.

Friday, Moon shifts to the last nakshatra of Scorpio early in the morning. As Moon transits through Jyeshtha, Indra arrives with his sensual support. His high level sensitivity provokes deep awareness on the sensorial level of our being. Rather than control and resistance of our senses, take a nourishing approach. How can you deepen your relationship with the sensations of your being? Rather than being ruled by these amazing human parts of the body, let them become resources for information, deepening nourishment and pathways to joy, balance and awakening. Less control, more compassion.

Mid morning on Saturday, Moon shifts into Sagittarius, crossing the tricky gap between watery Scorpio and fiery Sagittarius. Notice what is burning away and being released. As Moon arrives in Sagittarius, it lands in Mula, an often challenging and chaotic lunar constellation. Turmoil, shifts, changes and transformations are inevitable as this star pulls up roots and tills our inner soil. What are you gathering, bundling up- and how can you find a deeper release? Stand your ground. Find your center. Arrive in your core and avoid the overwhelm and challenges.

Debilitated Sun and Mercury are in tight conjunction in the coming days. Mind is sharp, but possibly fried. Watch for overactive critic and excessive focus. Avoid burn out with extra self care, meditation and time in nature. Go slow and pause as much as possible.

Sunday, Moon moves to PurvaAshada nakshatra, the domain of water goddess, Apas. Gain fluidity, flow and momentum today through attending to the emotional body. Harness its wisdom and creative forces by tapping into your feelings and attending to their messages. What is asking for your attention and intention? The mirror of money and relationships will provoke and instigate deeper inquiry. Pay attention to this awareness. Let passions stir nourishment and connection with desire and possibility. Sun and Mercury are still tightly conjunct, rendering the mental body combust, hot and fiery. Do less and accomplish more.

Late morning on Monday, Moon moves to the latter half of the Ashada constellation, UttaraAshada, and the Vishva Devas arrive to lend their support and assistance. When we align with right action, dharma, Nature aligns to support us with her power and abundance. The All Gods, or Vishva Devas, who rule this nakshatra, remind us of this need. Natural Laws are the supreme laws of the universe and keep us connected to Source, our ultimate alignment with life and spirit. Make you actions count today. Notice where you may be out of integrity- with yourself and spirit. Make the necessary adjustments to get the power you seek. Where is ego pushing you away from Source? What stories in the mind are keeping you from ultimate nourishment and divine connection? With debilitated Sun and Mercury in exact conjunction today, mental body work is necessary. Clean up, purify and burn away illusions and old chitta vrittis, mind stuff. Purify and transform through right relationship with Self and life.

Sun and Mercury make a frenzied shift into Scorpio almost simultaneously, on November 16th. More coming about this transit in my next post.

Moon is waning and our energy is slowing down, turning inward and instigating potential. Attend to and surrender to this vital release process stirring within you and the cosmos. There are ample invitations of transformation occurring through letting go and endings right now. Removal and release of relationships and that which no longer serves you in nourishing and supportive ways, must be severed and set free.  Mercury is now transiting Libra with debilitated Sun. Mars and Venus move to Virgo on Monday, Venus's debilitation sign. This creates two debilitations that will influence simultaneously. Relationships will require extra attention in the coming weeks. Challenges and conflicts are likely. What resources can you harvest?

Monday begins with Moon in its own sign of Cancer and transiting from Punarvasu into Pushya nakshatra in the early hours of the morning. Expand and contract, open and close, find balance between your polarities. Seek balance and harmony within and track the breath closely today. How can you land in your heart more intentionally? Bring your focus to your emotional body wisdom, your feelings, and deepen your connection to home, grounding and well being. The wisdom you seek is within. Attend to home and heart matters.

Feelings and creativity further shift as Venus moves out of the passionate and empowered Leo and into Virgo on November 2nd at 17:39 PST. As Venus lands in its debilitation sign, Virgo, joining shadow planet Rahu here, it's a time to be diligent with relationships, feelings, creativity and finances. Two planets  are now debilitated simultaneously in the weeks to come- our light source, Sun, and the life force energy within, Venus. This is not a time to push the physical body. Take care of your health diligently. This Venus cycle will proved challenging to all things Venus, in that you may miss or neglect resources for support due to Rahu's clouded vision. Simultaneously there will be opportunities to strip away the veils of illusion that are holding you back from fully being nourished by our connections, creative powers, finances, relationships and commodities. Challenge is always an opportunity for deepening change and transformation- so if you notice issues and obstacles, look beneath the surface. Look beneath your mundane existence and take note of the old stories and paradigms running you on auto pilot. How are these stories influencing how you connect as well as who and what you connect to?

The lack of clarity and certainty in this Venus cycle is prevalent, yet we can choose how to respond to the calamities, discord and discomfort. Do you further separate and disconnect yourself, or do you lean in, find ways to deepen connection and get your deeper needs met? It will be necessary to strive for balance- inner and outer. One of the ways this can be supported is through stringent self care and taking care of your needs on the four levels of your being- mental, emotional, physical and spiritual. The conjunction of debilitated Venus and shadow node Rahu can increase the use of intoxicants and "feel good" remedies that mask your ability to deeply feel. Old patterns with drugs, alcohol, sugar, food etc. can be activated at this time so be mindful of what the underlying needs are. These addictive patterns are a cry for deeper nourishment on some level of your being. How can you get your needs met in healthy, balanced and nourishing ways? What support do you need for your process? Ask for guidance, support and assistance. Deepen your relationship with self and others. There is an opportunity for deep healing in this cycle if we choose to step towards this as Virgo correlates to the sixth house of healing and healer.

On the heels of Venus's shift into Virgo, Mars moves to this earthy, focused, mental body sign as well. Both Venus and Mars are tightly conjunct, tracking each other closely as they both move from Leo into Virgo. Mars follow Venus into Virgo minutes after it moves at 17:59 PST. Both remain fragile the days following and continue in close proximity through the duration of this cycle. This conjunction, in addition to Rahu's influence, provides a heated and potentially challenging combination. Conflicts and fiery emotions may be felt. What is the root of the anger? What is the underlying need? What passions are stirring that need your attention and focus? There is a powerful opportunity in this cycle to address anger, rage and the often toxic cycle of this emotion. If the underlying root cause, or need, can be found and honored, an unraveling can take place. In the unraveling, there is opportunity for healing and transformation to arrive.

Relationships are vulnerable and fragile in this cycle. Think before speaking, more importantly pause, wait, and take time for reflection before responding. It will be too easy to speak words that you may later regret. If you are feeling strong emotions, pause for 24 hours at least before responding. Give yourself time to meditate, contemplate and release the emotions before sharing your thoughts, needs or motives. At the same time, this can be a powerful cycle of healing for those inclined to do the inner work this time period will provoke. Healing with anger, relationships, power and authority figures are possible. Let your stomach guide you and invite in opportunities for healing your relationships with inner power and emotions, while helping you integrate and digest the messages arriving. Relationship challenges are opportunities for mirroring what we need and also reminding you what needs to shift within you. As Eckhart Tolle says, "Relationships do not cause pain & unhappiness. They bring out the pain & unhappiness that is already in you."

As challenges arrive, identify parts of yourself that need to grieve and release. Past hurts, pains, disappointments, sorrows and heavy emotions are all places within you that didn't get the necessary love that was needed. By attending to these parts of your being now, you can help to move, shift, heal and transform the old pain, bring it to the light and allow this part of yourself to be well fed now. Let yourself grieve and peel back the layers of pain that are asking for your attention. Your are being offered powerful opportunities for releasing the sadness and losses that are masked by anger, rage, and frustration. Lean in and tend to these parts of yourself with compassion, rather than resistance and avoidance.

Tuesday mid morning, Moon arrives in Ashlesha nakshatra, Sarpas domain. The mind and body are fragile today and can be easily fried. Don't push or force actions and agendas. What stories are ruling you and keeping you away from your light? Let challenges and obstacles be resources for transformation and change. Take time for meditation and contemplation today. Walk in nature and find ways to calm, re-center and refuel your body and mind. Use creative energy as a resource. Venus and Mars are still very sandhi and have newly arrived in Virgo. Relationships require extra awareness and are vulnerable.

Wednesday, late morning, Moon jumps the challenging gap between Cancer (water) into fiery Leo, arriving in the bold Magha nakshatra- Pitr's domain. Father, authority, power and lineage matters present themselves today. There is a certain vulnerability in the coming days as Leo's ruling planet, Sun, is currently debilitated. Notice where you are pushing or forcing. Let your body remind you when to slow down, pause or stop. What are you trying to prove? And to who? What stories have you using "shoulds" and "have to's" as well as "supposed to's" on auto pilot? Father issues arrive as reminders of your lineage programming. How can you re-write the story? Honor and give gratitude to your ancestors and lineage today. Ask for their support.

Late morning on Thursday, Moon joins Jupiter in Purvaphalguni nakshatra. Potent creative energy and Shakti are the gifts of this constellation. Ruling deity, Bhaga, gives enjoyment and pleasures- worldly, sexual and sensual. Ruling planet of this nakshatra is Venus, currently debilitated in Virgo, sandhi, and closely conjunct Mars and Rahu. Saturn also gives his gaze to the Moon, yet another reminder to go slow. Today may give support with pleasurable resources or give challenges with them. It's important to go slow and notice what your needs are very acutely. Relationships may feel taxing or burdensome today, or even under nourishing. Let challenges and resources alike, offer you some insights into your need for comfort, safety and security. Where are you in the dark or letting shadow influence you? Identify excessive wants and what the underlying need truly is.

Just after noon on Friday, Moon shifts to the last nakshatra of Leo and the second half of the Phalguni constellation, Uttaraphalguni. It is another sensitive and fragile day as this nakshatra is ruled by the planet Sun, currently debilitated in Libra. Ruling deity, Aryaman, requests support, stability, commitments and provides resources when we agree to his requests. He is also connected to the ancestors and the support they can provide us. He rules over family life, marriage, love and pleasure- the kind we get from working through challenge, putting in effort and making commitments. Ample creativity and resources are available here, yet may be softened at this time. Frustrations and challenges are a reminder to slow down, pause, listen and surrender wherever possible. Where are you forcing an outcome? Where can you release?

Moon moves to Virgo early evening, joining debilitated Venus, Mars and Rahu here. The coming days could be challenging, so don't plan on doing too much or forcing extra activities. Less is more.

Saturday, Moon transits Virgo with debilitated Venus, Mars and Rahu- all in tight conjunction. The Moon is a magnifier and increases and filters whatever comes into contact with. The soft, gentle and sensitive nature of the Moon may feel frazzled and overwhelmed in the coming days. Today is particularly delicate and extra precautions are necessary for the sensitive Moon children. Moon continues through Uttaraphalguni until the afternoon. Connect and create with others. Find resources through relationships. Network, co-create and let foreign or unusual connections be of help or support. Moon is in tight conjunction with Mars, Rahu and Venus today, while Rahu and debilitated Venus are in exact conjunction. Pause and check in on the four levels of your being- mental, emotional, physical and spiritual. Notice when you're forcing or pushing. Slow down and pause. Avoid intoxicants, overstimulation, excesses of all kinds and toxic people. As Moon shifts to Hasta nakshatra, early afternoon, light and insights arrive.

The first day of the five day Diwali festivities begins today. Devotion to Lakshmi, the giver of health, vitality, nourishment and wealth takes place over the course of the coming days. Diwali is the celebration of light conquering darkness and the increase of positive, life supporting forces in our life. Multiple traditions celebrate Diwali, from Hindu, Jain to Sikh; over 15% of the world's population. During Diwali, Hindus celebrate the return of Lord Rama from his exile- a reflection of good over evil. Legend has it the kingdom was adorned in lights upon his return! Jain's celebrate the moksha of their guru, Mahavira, and his attainment of enlightenment during this time. Sikhs celebrate the sixth Guru who was released from capture and returned to the Golden Temple during Diwali. Plenty of stories to celebrate and honor! Light your lamps at dusk and honor Lakshmi and her powerful nourishment in the coming days. The most potent night is on the new Moon, Amavasya, November 11th.

Sunday, Moon continues through Hasta nakshatra, moving away from the tight conjunction with Rahu, Venus and Mars. New insights and awareness may arrive with Savitr's light. What shadows are keeping you from your light source and from shining brightly? It's a powerful time to work diligently on removing the obstructions and hindrances that keep you from your power and purpose. How can you be more deeply nourished and in what ways are you resisting the gifts of life? As evening arrives, Moon shifts to Chitra nakshatra and Vishvakarma arrives with passion and purpose.

This is the second day of Diwali and Dhanvantari, god of Ayurvedic medicine is honored for his gifts of health and well being. Vitality is truly the best gift of wealth!

Monday continues the action-oriented power of Chitra and Vishvakarma. Ruling planet, Mars, may be pushing his agendas with force, anger, agitation and frustrations. Notice where you are holding and not able to surrender. Attend to calculated, steady action steps. Where there is force, there will be frustration or challenge. Go slow and soften your steps today. Attend to physical body and self care attentively. Moon is moving into the final phase of the waning cycle. Turn your gaze inward and attend to your relationship with Self.

Today is the third day in the Diwali celebration and is dedicated to Hanuman, the much loved and revered monkey god. His strength, and devotion to Lord Rama, are honored today. May we each awaken to the compassion, strength and love within us!

As the Moon wanes and our energy slows, turns inward and instigates potential, we must attend to the vital release process stirring within us and the cosmos. There are ample invitations of transformation occurring through letting go and endings. Removal and release of relationships and that which no longer serves you in nourishing and supportive ways, must be severed and set free. Radically let go of those who do not have your needs and deep nourishment in mind. Create, new, healthy boundaries that honor your needs and help you affirm your power. Old, outworn patterns, behaviors and stories must be addressed and brought to the surface. How are you continuing to feed the stories that keep you out of your power, without nourishment, and away from being supported and well fed in life? Cut the cords and liberate yourself from the wounds of the past. Multiple planetary shifts in this cycle bring inner and outer changes.

Mental body transformations are stirred as Mercury lands in Libra at 09:59 PDT on October 29th, joining debilitated Sun here. After months of moving through his favorite sign, Virgo, he shifts to the relational and connective sign of Libra. Mercury is naturally a connector and a creator, a communicator and a generator, while also signifying thinking and imagination. This cycle will instigate a lot of inspiration and thinking- which will increase the imaginal, the spiritual, new ideas and increased creativity. Simultaneously, it will be too easy to stay in the head and out of the body, which can cause issues with the physical as well as manifestation. It's vital to cultivate presence and deeper relationship with the feeling level and emotional body wisdom, as well as the physical body and its ability to increase stability and support, grounding and landing. Vata and excess air can increase during this cycle, which can result in feeling ungrounded and unstable.

The Mercury Sun conjunction will become closer and tighter toward the end of this transit, climaxing on November 16th while both planets are in Vishaka nakshatra. New paths will present themselves and old ones will need to be re-evaluated. Can the old still support you and your needs, your desires and visions? Co-creation, extra support and new alliances may emerge. Seek out others who align with your visions and goals. Call in new resources in order to help your path take shape. Sun and Mercury continue to track each other closely in tight combustion, moving simultaneously into Scorpio on the 17th, joining Saturn here. Get your extra support and resources in place before this transit and prepare for deep inner work in the cycle to come. 

Feelings and creativity further shift as Venus moves out of the passionate and empowered Leo and into Virgo on November 2nd at 17:39 PST. As Venus lands in its debilitation sign, Virgo, joining shadow planet Rahu here, it's a time to be diligent with relationships, feelings, creativity and finances. Two planets  are now debilitated simultaneously in the weeks to come- our light source, Sun, and the life force energy within, Venus. This is not a time to push the physical body. Take care of your health diligently. This Venus cycle will proved challenging to all things Venus, in that you may miss or neglect resources for support due to Rahu's clouded vision.

Look beneath your mundane existence and take note of the old stories and paradigms running you on auto pilot. How are these stories influencing how you connect as well as who and what you connect to?

*Horoscopes are based on your Vedic (sidereal) rising sign. You can also check your Moon and Sun signs for further insight. Do the same with your Navamsa signs for further clarity. Do not use these horoscopes with your Western sign (Tropical) as there is likely no correlation. These horoscopes are meant to be used as a broad overview of the current transits and obviously do not address the specifics of an individual’s unique chart

Aries: You are being offered powerful opportunities to heal and transform relationship challenges. These difficulties are a result of misalignment with your inner power and strength. What parts of yourself have you resisted looking at? What shadows still keep you in the dark? These dark, hidden parts are keeping you from being truly supported and nourished. If you want deeper more nourishing relationships, you must be willing to look at your bad habits and the resistance you have to getting your needs met. What are you gaining from being malnourished? Are you ready to let this go?

Taurus: Let relationships work their magic on you. Remember the reflection of the other is causing you to look at parts of yourself that need awakening- whether gentle or harsh. In this cycle you'll be working with your power directly. How do your relationships challenge or support your power, passion and needs for safety and support? Clean up and heal stories around father and masculine energy. Notice how these issues are connecting to your current relationship challenges. Ask for support and guidance.

Gemini: Get creative and share your discoveries! Your heart is passionate yet delicate, so attend to your vulnerability with care and diligence. There's a dance developing between power and vulnerability for you, so use this time to harvest new resources. Let spirit support your findings and discoveries. Keep leaning in and deepening your ability to listen. Clean and clear up gut intelligence so your intuitive knowing can strengthen. This is the seat of your power and vulnerability.

Cancer: Creativity and courage get extra passion and confusion simultaneously. Communication issues are keeping you from getting your needs met and cause emotional pain. There may be some spiritual issues as well which cause heart pains. Stay true to the wisdom of your body and keep landing back in your physical body sensations. It's the only point of now and can be a resource for deeper guidance for the uncertainties emerging in life. Take your words and channel them through your hands. Create something fabulous.

Leo: Gain strength and focus, but don't be overtly focused on actions and agendas. For now, it's enough to hone your vision, gather your resources and align your purpose with more stability. Courage is lacking right now, so let the softening of your steps turn you inward. Time spent in silence and contemplation will feed your creative fires and dharmic path. Nourishment and extra support may feel challenging right now. Remember the obstacles are an opportunity to look at what you need and what will truly serve you.

Virgo: Relationships and feelings are extra sensitive and vulnerable right now. Spiritual intelligence can provide you with resources- so create plenty of space for dropping into your inner wisdom. Silence, meditation and retreats will help you deepen your listening skills. Track the critic diligently right now and notice how it pulls you away from nourishment, support and getting your needs met. Consciously take note of self sabotage and the stories that keep you from being well fed by life and your relationships. 

Libra: Keep going slow and calculating your steps cautiously. It's not a time to be pushing or forcing your body. Rest and relaxation will help creativity increase. Though it will feel challenging or impossible to meditate, this is a vital resource to help you recharge right now. Find ways to pause, drop in, land in your being and honor its intelligence. Find balance with friends, finances and energy. Clean up your diet and stomach. Deepen your listening skills.

Scorpio: Reap the fruits of your efforts at this time and find ways to softly land in your body wisdom. Meditation and silence will serve you and help you recharge. Do not push too hard. This is not a time to be seen or noticed in overt ways. Your efforts are best spent on healing and transformation as well as in contemplation. What you harvest at this time will support long term gains. Friendships and relationships are fragile at this time. Be clear about your needs and lower expectations with others. Clarify your visions and ask for guidance and support.

Sagittarius: Effort and attention placed on dharma and career will be time well spent. Though there may be ambiguity with how you share your wisdom with others, keep a soft and gentle focus on giving and sharing your gifts. Gains come through deepening your relationship with power and passion. What feeds you and enlivens your spirit? Money, financial support and otherwise will come when you are aligned with your joy. Spend time in silence and contemplation to strengthen your listening skills.

Capricorn: Continue to notice where you're forcing or pushing. Where are you telling yourself you "should" or "have to" or even where you are "supposed to" in your work and life? Notice how these stories are exhausting you unnecessarily. There are gains for you in going slow, honoring your physical body needs and taking extra rest. Your path gets passionate and confusing simultaneously. Keep moving towards what deeply nourishes you and get radical in your dharmic purpose. Nothing else matters.

Aquarius: Passions are stirring within, though will be hidden to others. Attend to challenges and complications with relationships and your emotional body. This is a clean-up transit which can be beneficial for clearing and transforming old karmas and previously missed personal development work- especially in regard to relationships. Get creative and use contemplation and meditation for clarifying your dharmic vision. Gain from wisdom, guidance and support.

Pisces: Relationships shift and change, are passionate yet fragile. The critic will be alive and well for you in this cycle, causing havoc and keeping you from being nourished by others. Do you know what you need? Can you ask for it? Make time for soft landings within and meditation. Work with power issues and lack of self worth. It's hard to get what you really want and need in life when you don't feel you deserve it. Share your discoveries with others who need this message too.

Just after the new Moon, the sacred nine day celebration of Maha Navaratri begins. This is a powerful time of year- a gap between seasons- which is considered a sandhi time. The veil is very thin between realms and we can access our connection to inner wisdom and Nature more easily. I encourage you to work with the intention of connecting with spirit and Nature's wisdom at this time, while also inviting in the power of the goddesses- Durga, Lakshmi and Saraswati. Read more about Navaratri and how to use this time for inner transformation.

As the Moon waxes, this fragile time of year calls us to look more deeply within. This inward gaze increases as the Sun shifts into Libra on October 17th. Libra is the Sun's debilitation sign and it will be here until November 16th. Our light source will be dimmed and vulnerable in this cycle. It is not a time to push or force actions, outcomes or agendas. Notice where you are forcing, self isolating or staying in the dark. For the majority of the signs, it is a rest cycle and must be treated as such. It's a time for inward introspection and attending to your inner needs. The physical body will require gentleness, extra support and smaller, quieter attention. We will all need to ask for support and gather extra resources at this time. Notice where there are holes in your self care and what is insisting on your attention.

The gift in this fragile transit is more receptivity. Do you take the time to listen and hear its messages or cut and paste over them with business, force or bypassing? The emotional body will also require extra listening and release during this cycle, so let the physical body be a resource for attending to feelings carefully. Spiritual receptivity will be alive and awakened, but only for those who create the space to hear. Inner work will be potent at this time so call upon extra support and use your resources for transformation, healing and change diligently.

Diving within will allow you to increase creativity and life force energy in the coming months. Ingenuity, entrepreneurialism and innovation will be served from meditation, retreats and alone time. The body can get drained and experience burn out more easily in this cycle however. Less is more- on all levels. Go slow and attend to the wisdom moving through you. Work with shadow issues and inner darkness. Honor your steps.

Mercury continues to transit its exaltation, mulitrikona and own sign, Virgo, while conjunct north shadow node, Rahu. The mental body needs extra vigilance at this time. What is keeping you in the dark? Jupiter, Mars and Venus continue their conjunction in Leo as well. Passion is high! Where does this land in the body? Use it as a resource for activation, but don't push it.

This is a powerful cycle which supports inner listening and more physical body awareness. Use the sacredness of Navaratri to deepen your introspection and transformation process.

Aries: Passion may be high, but relationships are vulnerable. Where are you pushing or forcing? Why? Attending to your shadow work is valuable and will help you determine why your finances are struggling. It has everything to do with allowing more nourishment into your life. What are you resisting and refusing to look at? Children, power, creativity and romance are places for deeper growth and learning. Tear off the veils of illusion and get honest with yourself. There's liberation in it for you and your heart.

Taurus: What is keeping you from your pleasure and joy? What is the story behind your resistance and avoidance? Intense passion is swelling in your heart, yet discomfort and heart burn are bringing their pressure. A need for digesting and assimilating is in order. Tend to slowness and small steps rather than leaps. Find stillness and softness in your steps, rather than forcing outcomes and objectives. The old stories are keeping you from the nourishment. Use this time to lift the veils.

Gemini: It's easy to push past your inner knowing in this cycle, so take precautions and extra pauses. For those that cultivate more presence and stillness into their lives, a deeper relationship with body and soul can arrive, as well as intuitive insights. For those used to pushing and forcing themselves, there will be extra challenges with this process. Let the physical body be a resource for insights and awakening. Let the powerful creative courage coming to you inspire and provoke. What are the mental body stories and illusions that keep your heart from giving you its wisdom? Inspire and get inspired. But go slow.

Cancer: Speak passionately and roar your mighty roar! Simultaneously, speak the sweet truth and watch how you use your power. Your courage and creativity are determined by your willingness to look at your shadows and haunts. The illusions that are holding you back from your own greatness. These old mental body stories are effecting your intimacy, relationships and ultimately your path of fulfillment. Use your challenges and obstacles as resources for determining what holds you back and why. Attend to your heart and home this month as there are vulnerabilities with these. Land in your sacred center.

Leo: Notice where you're all action and no stillness. Attend to the intense masculine energy ruling you, rather than allowing for soft steps and greater silence. There's a tendency right now to force agendas and objectives, to be overtly goal centered and future oriented. Invite in the nourishment of your feminine self. Give her space and she will help you cultivate more creativity and abundance. Your heart is dry and the creative channels will need gentleness this month or burn out will set in. Prevent this with self care and plenty of time for joyful play. Let your passion speak and give it a safe space to express.

Virgo: Passion and power are intensified with alone time, retreats and giving yourself silence. Communication and nourishment may feel stifled this month however. Your self doubt and uncertainties are sabotaging you and keeping you from your dreams and desires. What stories need to be re-written in order for lasting change? Even with these challenges, there's an opportunity for deep inner listening and transformation of old agendas. Let changes be sparked and give space for a life over-haul. This will take courage. What is holding you back? What are you resisting?

Libra: This is a month to lay low and be extra cautious. If you are pushing or forcing your way through life, you're about to find out how this is hurting you. Health is fragile and relationships are charged. There can be creative gains and extra support from friends, but make sure there is alignment with your intuitive knowing before leaping ahead. Rest, relaxation, retreat and meditation are vital right now and will re-charge you for the next cycle. Be careful of digestion and do a gentle cleanse to support extra release. Use this as a metaphor for other parts of your life as well. Right now, let go, let god and goddess.

Scorpio: As Sun dips into your twelfth house, it's time for a sabbatical. Alone time, silence, rest and retreat will serve you well. Meditation will restore balance and help you digest the previous months. Your career is still requiring a strong external focus, so your job is to find deeper balance and harmony with inner and outer needs. This is an ideal time to clarify how you can attend more to your self care, while also maximizing output. Ultimately your work will be served if you are taking care of your health and spirit. Keep looking at what is holding you back from getting the support you need. Why are you resisting pleasure, play and joy?

Sagittarius: Gains and friendships will feel slow and under nourishing in this cycle. Let big expectations and masculine agendas find soft landing in the feminine within. Cultivate more presence with intuition, dharma and life path while increasing your inner power. Meditation, retreats and alone time will help you deepen your relationship with your inner guidance and inner resources. Changes in home and heart continue. What needs to be set free? Career obstacles are a result of inner challenges and old programming. It's time to lift the veils and start leading with your heart. Attend to inner nourishment.

Capricorn: Career is vulnerable and you may be feeling burn out in this cycle. It's vital that you slow down and attend to self care and inner needs. At the same time, there's a new passion stirring in your heart. Call it in, fire it up and tend to the embers within. You are learning how to go slow and honor this need within you, rather than forcing and pushing with your physical might. Find ample pauses and ways to stop, listen and land. Let your imagination soar and think big! Your path and dharmic wisdom depend on it! Consciously notice where you are resisting nourishment and pleasure.

Aquarius: It is an ideal time to be honoring your path of wisdom and spirit. There's a certain softness available to you in this cycle that can provide awakening. You'll only catch it with great stillness and multiple pauses. Meditation and alone time are potent resources right now. Career may feel dull, taxing and burdensome. Deepen your desires for dharma and listen for messages to help you align with your truth. In the meantime, navigate the challenges and passions of your relationships. Where are you pushing or forcing, while getting burned out in the process?

Pisces: This cycle is deeply inward and transformational. With debilitated Sun transiting your 8th house, it's a time of deepening your relationship with intuition, meditation and spiritual pursuits. Forcing and pushing will only cause more suffering. Let your light turn inward and attend to unfinished business and necessary clean-up. Your gut is a great place to start. Relationship uncertainties continue to plague you. Where are these doubts and illusions keeping you in the dark and away from deeper nourishment? What needs to be set free within you in order for greater joy and passion to be invited in? Let self development get your full attention right now.
