As we continue to turn inward, and move towards more introspection and inner awakening during the waning Moon cycle, may we each look for the gifts arriving to us. Though this may come through darkness and upheaval, may we trust that this is the necessary process of turning shadow into light. With Jupiter now retrograde, and with our focus shifting from Scorpio into Sagittarius in the coming days, carefully and intentionally use this time to manifest your desires, bringing dreams to the surface for awakening and awareness. This is the time to be clearly identifying what you need and want in your life, what is working, what isn't, and what needs to shift in order for you to be nourished. This cycle brings us bigger changes, a certain cracking open in order to see our missing pieces. For now, gently provoke your dreams and desires. Stoke your inner embers. Trust in the process of removing and letting go, in order for your new life story to fully unfold. Read more about this waning Moon cycle in my Full Moon Wisdom + Creative Ritual article. Horoscopes for the Waning Moon Cycle {December 6th to 21st} *Horoscopes are based on your Vedic 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” 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: The darkness of the past weeks will slowly face the light in this cycle as the stalemate of planets in your 8th house break up and shift into your 9th house. Though there will continue to be moments of you being broken open and feeling your vulnerability, I encourage you to start using the brokenness as a resource for gaining more light. Ask questions, contemplate, and peel back the layers that are keeping you in the dark. Use this time to go more deeply into your pains and suffering in order to find the missing awareness you need for awakening. What are the patterns that continue to haunt you? What relationship dynamics keep provoking the same core wounds within you? What career struggles do you keep facing? What are your truest, most basic needs around support, stability and nourishment? And what needs to shift within you in order for these needs to be met? Taurus: Your creativity and artistry, courage and efforts begin to move in reverse now, provoking you to return to communication issues, heart and emotional body concerns, as well as relationships. You may discover new ways of teaching, creating and sharing yourself now that Jupiter is retrograde. Work with the hands in innovative ways and explore life through this body part resource. As energy moves out of your 7th house and your attention shifts to your 8th house, a portal to the depths of your transformational abilities opens. As Sun shifts into its place of hiding and into your darkest haunts on the 16th, looking beyond the surface is essential. Work with issues around father, soul needs and desires, healing, death, change, self expression and early childhood wounds that may be hindering your ability to receive comfort and nourishment. With Mars exalted in your 9th house, it's a powerful time of seeking wisdom and guidance, while also stepping up your ability to share your own wisdom as well. Resource from your depths. Gemini: Jupiter retrograde in your 2nd house is now provoking you to speak in new ways, to seek nourishment, wealth and resources in different ways as well. He is asking you to retrace your steps, to listen carefully to your wording, and the messages of your emotional body in order to transform and heal. The intense planetary energy that has been concentrated in your 6th house begins to break up as Mercury and Sun shift into your 7th house on the the 13th and 16th. This invites in a deepening inquiry of your relationships and what your needs are within them. Saturn continues to provoke your healing work and digesting very old emotions. You are gaining clarity with intuition, with sensing and feeling as a result. Pay close attention to your digestion, stomach wisdom, gut responses, and the intimate connection between your emotional body and your gut wisdom. Exalted Mars in your 8th house is provoking your deepest and most intense healing of your past, and this will ultimately serve your career, so go forth with a warrior spirit. Cancer: Jupiter is now retrograding back through your head, and will be assisting you in retracing your mental and emotional steps as a result. The coming months provide you with ample pacing, walking in circles and dancing over old terrain. For now, your intuition and creativity are shifting, as are your passions and romantic and relationship desires. With Mars exalted in your 7th house, relationships are burning hot! Are the flames stoking your passion or burning you? As the shift of attention from your 5th house, now moves to your 6th, you should be orienting yourself towards healing, transforming and overcoming in the coming days and weeks. With effort and intention, as well as willingness, you are embarking on a time of healing- in the mental body, in the physical and soul body, as well as creatively. This will have nourishing effects on your emotional body as well as your overall liberation process. Now is an excellent time to seek support from healers, therapists and guides in order to assist your healing process. Leo: The intense pressure begins to break up in your chest and heart center as Mercury and Sun shift into your 5th house on the 13th and 16th, yet Saturn and his slow, steady and painful pressure continues to work his magic on your heart. The shift of attention to your 5th house will bring awakenings of your intuition and passion, desires for romance and a deeper relationship with your gut wisdom. This will benefit your emotional body work. Exalted Mars in your 6th house is intensifying your desire and compulsion simultaneously to heal and be healed. Use this time effectively to maximize your efforts. Working with digestion, the stomach will serve you. Consciously work with gut functions and metaphors in order to make meaning out of your transformation process. Retrograde Jupiter assists you in this task. The drive to be nourished and satisfied is driving your efforts. Work with the shadows that are keeping you from being well fed in your life and relationships. Virgo: Emotional and mental confusions and chaos around your creativity, artistry, courage and with your action steps begins to shift. Suddenly your emotional body work opens doors where there were only windows, and you make some progress with your dharmic and career efforts, desires and decisions. This awareness will be assisted with alone time, meditation, retreats and extra self care. Time nourishing yourself is effort well spent. Retrograde Jupiter requires you to work with your gains, friendships, relationships, emotions and passions in new ways. Retrace your steps and be willing to look at the same stone, and turn it over, a few more times. Leave no stone unturned. Exalted Mars in your 5th house provokes passion, romance, desire, and strong gut responses. Listen to this wisdom and let your tiger out of its cage. Libra: The intensity of the past weeks with self expression, speaking and using your voice, shifts into a more generalized need for self expression and sharing your creativity. Nourishment and money issues begin to shift as you gain momentum and a stronger desire to take effective action steps. Your intentional and courageous action steps will benefit your career and overall ability to share and shine, though it may feel as though you're retracing steps now that Jupiter is retrograde. Be creative and resourceful, be direct and one pointed, but remember to take action rather than getting lost in preparation mode. It is through your creative action steps that you will ultimately be more nourished on all levels of your life. Let the passions of your heart stir you and your momentum. Though exalted Mars is in your heart center right now likely causing some heart burn, use this pain as a transformational opportunity. Underneath your anger, rage and inner fire, is an intense passion. Direct this intentionally for maximum results. Scorpio: Your head begins to clear and you begin to make space for more than just worry, fear and doubt as Mercury and Sun shift out of your 1st house and into your 2nd house on the 13th and 16th. This provides room for practicality, creative activation, and potent action steps. Let these influence your career. Exalted Mars in your 3rd house of creativity and courage provide the power you need to get the job done swiftly. Art, creativity, and the hands, are resources for you right now to help with your efforts of change and transformation. With more space in your head, you can shift your focus now to changing the way you are nourished- financially, through food, with relationships, your environment and on an emotional level. Retrograde Jupiter in your 9th house will provide ample opportunities over the coming months for you to revisit your hearts desires, what feeds you and deeply satisfies you and your heart. Working directly with the emotional body and its wisdom is the most potent resource for you at this time. If the emotional body tells you it's not working, you must listen. Sagittarius: Retrograde Jupiter in your 8th house is going to provoke emotional responses in you in the coming months, emotions that are old, deep, and perhaps have been neglected, lost or pushed down into your depths. Prepare for deja vu type experiences as you'll be sensing and feeling more deeply from your depths. As the stalemate of four planets shifts out of your 12th house of loss and endings, alone time and retreats, there is an invitation to start fresh, awaken, and open to new possibilities. You may feel this most within your relationships, your career, with friends and with wisdom and teaching desires. Expect some bumps in the transformational process before you arrive at clarity however. Exalted Mars in your 2nd house is giving you an insatiable appetite for nourishment. Don't overdo it. The tendency right now is to try to nourish yourself, but making choices out of old habit, default modes of operation, and overcompensation. Be careful and selective in your choices, and address the underlying issues of malnourishment. Capricorn: With Mars exalted in your first house, your head is hot and fully charged. Your heart is passionate and you're fanning the flames. Your relationships are provoking your needs for nourishment, support and safety. Your ego is provoking your shadows and haunts, your dance with dark and light. With the stalemate of planets shifting out of your 11th house, your attentions changes from transforming, gains and acquiring, into releasing, letting go and finding more sacred alone time for rest and relaxation. This is a valuable use of your time and efforts, but knowing you, even the vacation will become an opportunity to work. It's true, retreats and ashram settings are a career opportunity for you in the coming weeks and may provoke some business ideas. I challenge you though to sneak in as much meditation, time in bed, relaxation and rest into your life over the coming week as you can. You'll be glad you gave yourself some TLC now, before Capricorn Season hits! Aquarius: There's an intensified orientation towards self care right now that is asking you to attend to your strong need for letting go, releasing and being alone. Relationships are invoking a passionate, strong response from you, one that may be fueled by anger and rage. These emotions require you to look beneath the surface. Ask yourself what your deepest passions are that are being stifled? It is a wise idea to make self care a top priority, as well as retreat time, alone time, or perhaps traveling abroad. Your career is making some shifts right now that may provoke gains and losses simultaneously. Now that Jupiter is retrograde in your 6th house, it's time to revisit clean up efforts in your gut. Your efforts will be assisted through identifying what old, unprocessed emotions need to be more fully digested in order for you to feel more nourished and satisfied in your life. Explore the connection between heart and gut. This will have a direct impact on your career satisfaction as well. Pisces: The shift of intense energy out of your 9th house, and into your 10th house brings gains and a surge of purpose into your career and dharmic pursuits. Relationships continue to provide ample resources for awakening and addressing your shadows. Who and what you are inviting into your life should be a source of study and curiosity in order for you to work with your own dark matter. Emotional body and mental body become tools for this process if used to assess parts of your self that you fear to look at. All of this material is a resource for your healing work with others. Ultimately healing yourself provides a shift in your career, who you work with and why. Now is a time to receive gains, but continue to address concerns around deep nourishment, and the depths of your needs and desires. Need some extra guidance and clarity? Schedule a session with me.

The big news this week is Jupiter begins its retrograde motion until April. We also have Mercury moving into Sagittarius, and Sun right behind him early next week. The stalemate of planets in Scorpio begins to break up, but our focus shifts now to Sagittarius, Jupiter's sign. Moon is waning now. Since we are working with the shift from water (Scorpio) into fire (Sagittarius) this week, diligence with our emotional body work is the name of the game right now! Monday, December 8th Today's Intention: Step out of your comfort zone and be nourished. Moon transits one of Rahu's nakshatras, Ardra, ruled by the powerful force, Rudra. This is a sharp star, one that has a cutting nature and can help us make executive decisions. With Rahu and Rudra behind it, there can be intense shadow involved. Worldly affairs are well suited to this nakshatra, but intense emotional upheaval is also its domain. Moon receives direct gaze from the creative (yet currently disheveled) Venus. With three planets still in Scorpio (the Moon's sign of debilitation) and Venus (water) now in the calamity provoking nakshatra Mula, this is a time to be working directly with our emotional body. Let the flood gates open and tears move out and through you. There may be ample energy used today on confronting parts of ourselves and others that are very challenging to us. Understand that the release and change will be next. Jupiter goes into retrograde motion at 14:11 CST for the next five months. He will be retrograde until April 4th, which brings us a time period of returning, and many reminders of Jupiter's offerings from the past months of his exalted passage through Cancer. His gifts will return, his wisdom, his blatant suggestions of heart nourishment, emotional well-being, and healthy boundary work- but in new, perhaps more intense ways. As with any retrograde planet, he will be acting like the nodes (Rahu and Ketu) and thus will be more dramatic in his nature. Additionally, any exalted planet that goes retrograde becomes debilitated (uccha banga). For many of us, this will be a strong identification phase in order to help us fully change and grow into new awareness and awakening. There may be issues, concerns and situations that occur with heart matters, emotional body, mother, land and vehicles in the coming months as we clean up these parts of our life. Read more about Jupiter's transit through Cancer. Moon shifts into Punarvasu nakshatra at 14:14 CST and a change is ushered in with Aditi and her cosmic resources, as well as a return of the light through the wisdom she provides. Tuesday, December 9th Today's Intention: Open your heart wisdom and let it flow like a river of nourishment. Moon continues to transit Punarvasu and moves into Cancer at 09:39 am CST, joining retrograde Jupiter there. He is now in a debilitation phase (uccha banga) and the Moon will enliven this for us today. We may notice themes coming up today that will illuminate the themes of the next few months, so pay attention and take notes. Moon receives direct gaze from an exalted Mars and Ketu now and this creates a divine intervention from MA, if not anger and rage on the surface. Underneath this is of course divine passion, so see if you can harness these flames and put them to good use without letting them burn you or others in the process. Moon shifts into Pushya nakshatra at 16:06 CST and a stronger sense of nourishment has the opportunity to arrive for us. However, we may experience a pinch first, before the milk begins to flow. Knowledge often comes with a price; the price of awakening. Exalted Mars shifts into Sravana nakshatra at 23:18 CST which is ruled by Vishnu and his expansiveness, and the Moon's tender, creativity. Mars transits through the sacred and spiritually oriented 28th nakshatra, Abhijit, which is positioned in between Uttarashada and Sravana. We will be feeling this resonance leading up to and following Mars's shift into Sravana as a result. Use this time for goal setting, getting your intentions very clear, organized and ask the divine to support you in your endeavors. The coming weeks will offer new levels of productivity, resources and dharmic pursuits for those ready to take our work to the next level. We must be willing and able to hear the messages coming to us in order to receive the support though. Make sure you take ample time to pause, deeply listen and be with your inner wisdom, in order to hear the divine whispering in your ear. Stay open minded to all possibilities at this time. Wednesday, December 10th Today's Intention: When one door closes, another one opens. Moon continues through Pushya nakshatra the majority of the day, enlivening Brihaspati (Jupiter deified) and the planet Saturn. Pushya is the nourishing star, but he does it through balance. Balance requires an evening out of what is lop sided and ultimately not serving us. Thus there is often a pinch when it occurs. Pushya brings us that balance, and the pinch, but is ultimately connected to our deep nourishment. Today is a reminder to trust the balance of life to serve us deeply and to offer us the medicine we need for long term, sustainable nourishment. Today, make embodiment and resourcing the wisdom of the body, a high priority. Moon shifts into Ashlesha nakshatra at 18:28 CST, joining a now retrograde Jupiter in this nakshatra as well. Ashlesha is ruled by Sarpa and the planet Mercury. Sarpa represents our serpent energy, rooted in our mental body essentially, and yet great healing and transformation is possible when we work directly with our mind, in order to overcome its snakey nature. Mercury is currently still transiting Scorpio, which means working with our depths is a priority right now. Thursday, December 11th Today's Intention: Shine your light into your dark corners and look for cobwebs. Moon continues to transit Ashlesha nakshatra the majority of the day and conjuncts retrograde Jupiter as well, which will have a magnifying effect on our mental and emotional bodies. With Jupiter retrograde now (and debilitated), we are being invited deep into our hearts (and mind while Jupiter is still in Ashlesha nakshatra). Use this time for healing, purifying and pulling up mental and emotional weeds. It's important to work with embodiment resources as well, and to stay grounded in the physical body as much as possible. Are you checking in with your three levels of awareness regularly? As Moon jumps into Leo and Magha nakshatra 21:16 CST, we will feel a sudden shift, impacted by Pitr and our ancestors. Moon now receives drishti from exalted Mars and Saturn. Magha is ruled by Ketu, so expect the change to come quickly- through flashes of insight, awareness or through sudden situational changes. There is some old karma working on us right now, so be aware of the work that needs to be done to address old haunts and new awakenings. With drishti of Mars and Saturn on the Moon, we get added heat and pressure on our emotional body which may make for discomfort and a sense of contraction. Pay special attention to your emotional body messages and look for the needs that are under them. Friday, December 12th Today's Intention: From their place in the light, the ancestors are urging you forward. Moon continues to transit through Magha nakshatra today. Yesterday's message of the ancestors pertains to our day. Pitr, and the ancestors are enlivened as we work with ancient karmas. Old pieces, dark matter, and shadow work is a big theme right now. Today we may feel the roots of these dark parts of ourselves very connected to our family paradigm and begin to see them more clearly. Be aware of themes that present themselves and take notes. Mercury is now sandhi, moving to the edge of Scorpio and preparing to shift into Sagittarius. This is an uncomfortable leap from a water sign into a fire sign and the mental body will likely be feeling this "out of the water, into the fire" scenario. A sharpening tenacity is coming, but for now we are still languishing in murky waters. Saturday, December 13th Today's Intention: What is the deepest form of nourishment that you desire? Go there. Moon moves into Purvaphalguni nakshatra just after midnight, enlivening Bhaga and Venus and inviting in fertility, wealth and happiness. However, with the ruling planet Venus, currently in Mula nakshatra, we will likely be feeling our lack, rather than our abundance. Keep this in mind as well as the movement of Mercury into Sagittarius, as he will be sandhi, in the gap through Sunday. Be very diligent with your physical, emotional and mental body check-ins right now in order to strengthen your attention and intention on your needs. Self care is non-negotiable. Moon is being touched by both Mars and Saturn as it transits Leo which adds heat and pressure, as well as a heightened emotional frustration to our experience. I will be starting my self-care challenge tomorrow to offer reminders. Make sure you're on my newsletter list. Mercury jumps into Sagittarius and Mula nakshatra at 03:26 am CST, moving through the very tricky gandanta junction of Scorpio (water) into Sagittarius (fire). The added intensity of this transit is that all planets that move through this gandanta shift from Jyeshtha nakshatra (Indra's domain), into Mula nakshatra (Nirrti's domain). Indra is connected to dharma, strength and the refining of the senses. Nirrti is a disheveled goddess, who brings chaos, calamity and misfortune. She moves us away from dharma through fear, danger and death as well as going against the Laws of Nature. Her husband is Adharma, the god that takes us away from dharma. Mula can be a very spiritual nakshatra- one that pulls up the necessary weeds on our path, in order for us to ultimately see more clearly. This does not come with ease and grace however. Venus has already made this challenging leap, and continues to transit Mula until December 16th. Mercury will be in Mula until the 21st. Sun makes the challenging leap from Scorpio to Sagittarius on the 15th and stays in Mula until the 28th. The intensity of all this change and transformation will climax with the new Moon on winter Solstice, the 21st. This new Moon will occur in Mula nakshatra, heightening the emptiness, the release and the transformation of this time. A massively transformational way to end 2014. As we continue to feel the chain reaction of planets filing into Sagittarius, passing through this challenging gandanta, remind yourself that this is a time of deep uprooting, forced change, crazy making, and chaos. The end result will provide a very different landscape for each of us, but for now, we must continue to till our soil. Through the end of December, be conscious of the many changes occurring within you and around you. Make purposeful intentions for your coming year and ground into the knowing that this too shall pass, and another cycle of growth and renewal will arrive with greater balance. Sunday, December 14th Today's Intention: Pick your fruits, but pick them wisely. Moon moves to Uttaraphalguni at 03:21 am CST, inviting in Aryaman and the Sun into our day. The ancestors are invited into our awareness, as well as nourishment that makes harmony last- especially in our relationships. Dive deep today and seek the pieces you need for contentment, fruitful and nourishing endeavors, as well as what will strengthen the relationship with your self and others. Make self care a priority right now and continue to be alert to what is nourishing you and what is not. This is a time of radical release, so let go of what is not aligned with your deepest needs. As Moon shifts into Virgo at 10:06 am CST, he joins Rahu there and receives gaze from Ketu. Work with your shadows intentionally today. Our emotional body intelligence is moving straight into the shadows for the coming days so be willing to dance with your darkness in more conscious ways at this time. Look for the gifts. I am starting my self-care challenge tomorrow to offer reminders. Make sure you're on my newsletter list. Need some extra guidance and clarity? Schedule a session with me.

This waxing Moon cycle brings us four planets transiting Scorpio- Sun, Mercury, Saturn and Venus- as well as an exalted Mars in Capricorn. This is a powerful time of transformation. Mars will help us with fulfilling duties, goals and action steps. If we are paying attention to our emotional landscape, we may notice an increase in anger, agitations and inner frustrations, as well as increased fear and other uncomfortable emotions. Potent and powerful messages are just under the surface if you're willing to go deeper and ask what your deepest, darkest needs are. Hidden in our shadows are gifts waiting to be found. As mentioned in my New Moon Wisdom post: "This cycle in many ways is the final extraction process of our past many months of dancing with all that has transpired in and through Libra. We are finally able to release what needs to be released, while keeping parts and pieces that we want. The next step will be to use what we've harvested and let the manure become the necessary nutrients for our garden of life." The next Full Moon is on December 6th with an exalted Moon in Taurus in the creative and benefic Rohini nakshatra. More on this in my next Moon Wisdom post. Horoscopes for the Waxing Moon Cycle {November 22nd to December 6th} *Horoscopes are based on your Vedic 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” 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: With four planets in your 8th house right now, it's time to really do some deep investigative personal work. Use this time for transformation- changing old fears, vulnerabilities, traumas and haunts into awakenings and awareness. How far are you willing to go in order to change? At the same time, work is picking up and career seems to be charging forward mightily. Make goals, take action steps and be bold, but not at the cost of your personal development work. Or can they both inform each other? Self care practices continue to be helpful and important part of your personal process right now. This is non-negotiable. Taurus: Your romantic compulsions are leading you right into your most important inner work right now. The mirrors coming to you from others in the coming weeks will be powerful reflections for you to introspect, transform and change- if you're willing to go towards your darkness in the process. Learning from your anger, your pain, emotional turmoil, and frustrations will be valuable, so charge forth! This is a time of depth and healing if you truly choose to use it as such. The gift you receive for your efforts will enhance your ability to receive, to be nurtured and nourished. Isn't that what you are craving anyway? Gemini: It is all about healing and being healed for you right now. Digesting and assimilating old patterns, behaviors and parts of your life that are long overdue. These pieces are connected to your creativity, courage, action steps, passion and relationships- all from your past. Suddenly, you are feeling charged and motivated to make some big, bold changes; Mars will help you with moving through your past once he moves to your eighth house. Your emotional body is a primary resource for you at this time. Your feelings connected to comfort, support, nourishment and money, will help you look into your shadows and see the missing links you've been over looking. Get comfortable with your discomfort. Cancer: Your fifth house is crammed with four planets right now which helps you address aspects of your passion, your romantic needs and wants, as well as your creative abilities. Are you listening to your emotional body for the memos? Trust and safety issues come to the forefront for you, so be willing to go more deeply into your insecurities. I promise you there is a gift wrapped piece of your soul waiting in these emotional challenges, if you are willing to dive in and be curious about your darkness. Relationships are a challenging and yet powerful resource for you right now. What is your deepest need? And what aren't you receiving in your life? What are the wounds that keep you from healing and moving forward? Go there. Leo: Your heart-center, home life and emotional body is your central focus right now. Use this time to touch deeply on your emotions, your feelings, and your needs for comfort, safety and security. There's a certain willingness to dive into your healing work right now as Mars exalts in your 6th house. What old patterns have been keeping you in the dark, locked into your shadows? Awareness and awakenings will be assisted by giving yourself ample alone time to linger in silence, contemplation and meditation. What parts of your past are keeping you trapped in fear, hurt and filled with anxiety? What is the brave face you wear truly hiding? Take your masks off. Virgo: It's taking all your courage and willingness to look into your biggest challenges. Right now, Rahu is still in your head. You're either missing the biggest gifts of your shadow work, or diving right in! Creativity, the arts, the hands and arms, are all vital resources for you and your healing work. Make sure you are working directly with your body, mind and emotions in order to address what is holding you back on all three levels of your life. What is your resistance and where is it located in your body? What emotions are the most challenging and potent and how do you hide them? Be curious and start shining light into your dark corners. Dance with your shadows. As Mars goes exalted in your fifth house, your passion, digestion and anger get amplified. Take this as a good sign, but work with this properly to harvest the gold. Extract the passion. Libra: Your second house is fully charged with four planets right now, while Mars is exalted in your fourth house of heart, home and liberation. This is a time period that tests your comfort levels. Discomfort is coming in multiple forms and effects your heart, your emotions and your sense of security. I ask you to go into these challenging feelings with curiosity, willingness and courage. Your current state of affairs (financial and otherwise) may seem to have no connection to your early childhood losses and disappointments, yet the planets say otherwise. What pieces of your childhood need to be confronted, cleaned up and healed in order for you to finally get the deep nourishment and comfort you so desperately crave? Your work is exploring the emotional body messages very intimately. Don't forget to let the rage out in healthy ways. Scorpio: It truly is your time to take the spotlight and you are likely feeling it. Your first house has four planets in it, meaning your head is filled with multiple types of energy, pulling you in multiple directions. Work with your past and the anxieties and fears that it challenges you with. Forge forth with creative and career projects. Liberate yourself from old relationship patterns and the vows you've made around them. Work consistently and methodically to reach your goals and aspirations. Mars is exalted right now in your third house of hands, creativity, the arts and communication. Be bold and make the most of this time in order to courageously move forward in your life- towards goals, desires and dreams. If you want it to happen, create it. Sagittarius: Mars moves out of your head and into your mouth, your second house. Watch your anger levels for signs about your needs for nourishment, comfort and support. What is underneath the anger? What need has not been met for you and how is this connected to an early childhood wound you may be carrying still? Notice your food choices in relation to your emotions and avoid excess alcohol and intoxicants. With four planets in your twelfth house, focus on retreats, travel and alone time for now. This may help you digest some of the past that has yet to be assimilated. Seek resources and tools that help with this releasing and letting go phase. What are you finally ready to let go of and liberate yourself from? Look to your emotional body for clues, especially the challenging emotions that are stuffed neatly into your body. Capricorn: You are charged and fully loaded right now Capricorn. In your usual work pony fashion, you know how to really push it into high gear to get the job done! With so many irons in the fire that are blazing hot, I have to be that voice of reason, the one that reminds you to pause and hit reset from time to time. Like every day, multiple times a day! These pauses will help you fully integrate the intensity occurring right now- in your relationships, in your head, with friends and possibilities. There are gains and losses right now, as there always are, and it's your job to dance with both effectively. Pluses and minuses represent polarities and the grande illusion of separateness. For you, working with your vulnerabilities and weaknesses as actually the supportive allies that they are, will be important to contemplate and reconcile with. You might finally realize why you push so hard. Aquarius: Your career is demanding most of your energy right now and requiring you to cut losses, find some silver linings, and re-prioritize. This is an ideal time to be thinking creatively and communicating effectively to get yourself recognized. Meet and greet the right people and be ready to make changes that have been a long time coming. Mars is exalted in your twelfth house right now. Relationships may be mixed with passion and rage. You are working with themes of nourishment, comfort and support right now. Your shadow has you both refusing to see what needs to change for your ultimate needs to get met, while simultaneously making you address this issue head on. Pay attention to your emotions right now. If it doesn't feel right, it isn't. Pisces: This is a powerful time for you, your wisdom and dharmic path Pisces. With four planets in your auspicious ninth house, it's time to put the pieces together and step firmly into your life purpose. Look for clues in your emotional body wisdom. Sense and feel into your yeses and no's. Serendipity and extra support are good signs that you are heading in the right direction, a nourishing direction. As Mars moves to your eleventh house, you will need to keep your momentum going with action steps, goals and maintaining focus on your desired outcomes. Working with self trust and intuition are vital as you become more attuned to what is right for you and what is wrong for you. Need some extra guidance and clarity? Schedule a session with me.

Thank you Moon is now waxing, yet the week starts with a very new Moon still, which is quite empty. It will move through third to tenth tithis or Moon phases this week. We may notice our energy picking up as a result later in the week, especially as Mars shifts into its sign of exaltation this week. Monday, November 24th Today's Intention: Churn your ocean of milk into butter. Moon hops into Sagittarius and Mula nakshatra just after midnight central time zone. Moon joins Mars here. Mercury is at the edge of Libra and Jupiter has moved to sandhi degrees (it is over 28 degrees of Cancer). Mula is ruled by Nirrti, the goddess of adharma (against dharma) and she brings with her the ability to break, disrupt, and uproot. She is like the plow to our inner fields. She can help us pull up weeds and prepare our soil for a new garden. Don't let her toss out the good stuff though! As the planet Ketu rules this nakshatra, we can get insights and work with self discovery today, or insanity and fragility. Go gentle, go slow and attend to your self care. Mercury moves into Scorpio at 02:13 am CST, joining a packed house! Venus, Sun, and Saturn are also in Scorpio right now- all receive drishti from Jupiter and Ketu. With Mercury (mental body) arriving into the sign of transformation, we can expect the mind to go through shifts and changes in the coming weeks. Mind, emotions and body are all extra sensitive right now as Saturn and Ketu touch our depths. This is an important time of self care, while also bravely going into our shadow parts and doing some deeper investigative work. What are the strong emotions, sensations and feelings coming to you right now? What stories is the mental body sharing with you? Use these as insights in order to go further into your depths as you seek healing and insights. Be willing to probe below the surface. Moon moves to PurvaAshada at 23:07 CST. Tuesday, November 25th Today's Intention: Gain momentum from your inner steam. Venus shifts into Jyeshtha nakshatra at 01:58 am CST. Let creativity and communication merge now. Create, co-create and work on sharing your creative offerings with others in the coming days. Mars moves to sandhi degrees at the edge of Sagittarius. Moon transits PurvaAshada, conjunct Mars in Sagittarius. PurvAshada is ruled by Aditi, the water goddess, as well as Venus. This combination is all about sensing and feeling our internal waters, working with the rising and lowering tides within. With the Mars Moon conjunction happening currently, we can access our intense, passionate internal waters in a very tangible way. You may experience anger and agitation, but look closely. Underneath that anger is intense, palpable passion. This passion is a gift from the divine Mother herself. Rise with these strong waters and take some powerful action steps. These passionate tides are here to help you shift, change and transform. Use them wisely. Swift moving Mercury conjoin Saturn in the 2 degree range later today. Get embodied and spare yourself some headaches. Moon moves to UttarAshada at 21:43 CST. Wednesday, November 26th Today's Intention: Put your dreams into action. Moon transits UttarAshada, and is in exact conjunction with Mars in the early hours of the morning central time zone. Moon then jumps into Capricorn at 03:21 am CST, while Rahu, Jupiter and Saturn give their drishti to Moon now. Watch for over working, over pushing and forcing outcomes over the next few days. This tendency and theme of pushing too hard, continues in the coming month and a half, once Mars goes exalted here in Capricorn tomorrow. It's as though the Moon is ushering us into this cycle and giving us a jump start on this activation. Let UttarAshada and the Vishva Devas be a resource of positivity, strength and self reliance today. Let them help you overcome your obstacles and harness the positivity of this time. Lead by example and show others the way. Swift moving Mercury is cruising through Scorpio right now, already shifting into Anuradha nakshatra today at 04:43 am CST. Gather your resources in the coming days, friends and all. On an inner level, use this time to put some pieces together from your inner depths. Let the mental body guide you with this. Moon moves into Sravana nakshatra at 20:13 CST, inviting in Vishnu to our evening. Thursday, November 27th Today's Intention: Expand yourself and what feels possible, but be here now. Mars hops into its sign of exaltation, Capricorn, just after midnight central time zone at 00:57 am CST. The next month and a half are potent, powerful and fully ignited by the fire of Mars. This is a time to get a lot accomplished, take powerful action steps, and get goals set and structured. Be mindful of pushing too hard, over-working, forcing outcomes and neglecting your self care. Pay special attention to your anger, as there will be many potent and powerful messages coming to you by way of this emotion. Moon transits Sravana nakshatra today, inviting in Vishnu and his expansiveness to our day. Vishnu is responsible for maintaining dharma, for passing knowledge and wisdom through his ruling element, Akasha, space. With Moon receiving drishti from Jupiter, Rahu and Saturn today, while conjunct newly exalted Mars in Capricorn. We may feel four levels of pressure occurring simultaneously. Paying special attention to your emotional body wisdom will be important today. Where is the pressure coming from and how can you relieve it safely? How can you get more nourished and what is the underlying need below the emotion? If we can harness the awareness of being pulled in multiple directions, we can likely find a neutral territory in the center of the chaos. Today, seek the neutral, the center, the integration of opposites and extremes. Expand yourself by standing in the center of yourself. Doing a three level check in can help you find this. Moon moves into Dhanishta nakshatra at 18:43 CST and the Vasu Devas are ushered in to offer their light. Friday, November 28th Today's Intention: This little light of mine, I'm gunna let it shine. Moon transits Dhanishta nakshatra, ruled by the Vasu Devas and the planet Mars. Once it moves into Aquarius at 05:59 am CST, it gets out of the frying pan and excess pressure from four other planets. Likely we will feel the sense of relief and things smoothing out- inner and outer- as a result. Notice today how there is a need for both slow and fast. I urge you to surrender to the slow, steady and physical body needs. Honor your body, give it TLC, move it gently and harvest through its wisdom. The Vasu Devas allow us to shine, to give and receive our light and to be illuminated. Open your creative channels and let your light shine! Create, share, express, give and receive your abundant light. What makes you shine brightly? Do this. Moon moves to Satabisha nakshatra at 17:16 CST inviting in Varuna. Saturday, November 29th Today's Intention: Move the destructive forces within you and let them dance into a new form. Moon transits Satabisha nakshatra and the deity Varuna, as well as Rahu, arrive into our day. Varuna guards Natural Law, the order of the universe and he rules over karmas connected to suffering and disease. He has immense knowledge because he understands the spectrum of experience available to us in our human form. He reminds us to properly care for our body, mind and emotions to prevent suffering. Moon shifts into PurvaBhadrapada at 15:56 CST, and Ajaikapada arrives into our evening with Jupiter- both rule this nakshatra. Ajaikapada is another name for Shiva, Lord of the Dance. With one foot up and one foot rooted into the earth, he symbolizes immense feats, the delicate balance of life, and the dance between movement and stability. Sunday, November 30th Today's Intention: Sift and sort the pieces of your life. Make new friends, but keep the old. Saturn shifts into Anuradha nakshatra at 08:54 am CST and will be in this lunar constellation for a little over a year. This is a good shift for Saturn to make and it will likely be a valuable transit for helping us put the pieces together in our lives that need to be re-assembled, re-stored and re-aligned, in order for greater wholeness. Since Saturn is in Scorpio, it's very definitely a time of deconstruction, change and transformation, yet with Saturn transiting the friendly star of Anuradha, ruled by Mitra, we have a chance to create some helpful and lasting changes for ourselves- if we are willing and able to work with the finer details of our lives. Mitra is the deity of friendship, so expect him to offer support and resources for building alliances over the course of 2015. Anuradha is ruled by Saturn, so this is a constellation that does well with Saturn's finite abilities. Gain resources through networking, connecting, sharing, being benevolent, speaking the sweet truth. It will, however, be very important to remember the big picture over the next year, as Mitra and Saturn may get us lost in the fine details of life, forgetting the bigger, overall, reality of existence. Read more about the Saturn in Scorpio transit. Moon jumps into Pisces at 9:01 am CST, joining Ketu there and receives drishti from Rahu and Jupiter. Moon moves into UttaraBhadrapada at 14:44 CST. Ahirbudhnya, the serpent of the nether realms, helps us today with uncovering hidden parts of ourselves. He is a Rudra, a strong force of Nature, one that can remove calamities, misfortunes and can help us overcome obstacles. With Moon in conjunction with Ketu and receiving gaze from Rahu, it's important to remember self care guidelines, and pay special attention to your emotional body in the coming days. Flashes of insight and awareness may arrive today, yet may trigger discomfort. Work with your discomfort effectively, invite it in for a cup of tea, and begin to find a new relationship with your disillusionment. Now's the time to transform your shadow parts.
