Aries: It's time to take charge of your life in bold and powerful ways. Do not take no for an answer. In other words, don't take fear as an answer. It isn't one. Though it will still be present, take action steps anyway. You are more powerful than the dark clouds and doubts. There are some very important moments coming as you embrace your power more fully. Nourishment and support are yours. Play big or go home! Taurus: A new sense of stability and support arrives for you in the coming cycle- from the inside out. Notice what changes and releases have to happen in order for this new, inner structure to take form. Continue to courageously and creatively face your feelings and emotions as this is the territory that impedes the nourishment you desperately need and want. Your emotions will give you the clues. Dive in! Gemini: The coming cycle helps you finally release and let go of some career pieces that are holding you back. Trust this letting go cycle as it affords you space to step forward in some very momentous and powerful ways. The endings are so vital for the gains to come. A new sense of balance arrives in your body. Speak from your heart, find stability from your pelvis and feet, and let your stomach be the source of your power. Cancer: Gains arrive as you submit to inner egoic change. As you do so, life opens up and reminds you how important it is to allow change and transformation into your life. Use your challenges and awakenings as a gift to share with others. Let the world into your process of enlightenment and upliftment. Show us a bit of your inner realms and vulnerability. Expect gains and improvements as a reward. Leo: With all the deep transformations you've been undergoing, the coming cycle will bring some much needed relief. More nourishment, support and wisdom are on the way. Give yourself some rest time as this will be how you digest and assimilate the past weeks and months of change. Use the influences of joy and seriousness, fun and commitment, in order to find a new sense of balance in your life. A very strong time of dharmic change is coming. Get ready to move! Virgo: I'd like to tell you that the pain of all the letting go is coming to a close, but in fact the full release has yet to begin. You've actually been in the preparatory phases. But this part of your process has been vital so that you can embrace the new cycle of power that is arriving. Get ready to purify, cleanse and transform inside out. A tiger is gently purring within you, but soon it will be roaring and shredding your inner darkness. Gather your support and your fire offerings. Libra: The power is coming to you in your hips and pelvis and from head to tail. Roar like a lion and get comfortable with prowling. You are working through some old hurts and haunts right now. The support and stability can be found in your body, so don't neglect this source of power and strength. As Sun moves to Aries, your hips will be unstoppable. Let the passion of life into your life and share it consciously with others. With so much heat moving through you, use this time as an opportunity to learn how to be more mindful with how you use your power. Scorpio: Suddenly you can hear the messages coming to you in a new way, a more nourishing way. Stability and support are finding a recalibration point in you from head, through spine, into pelvis. Use these body parts to help you align from the inside, out. Trust your pelvis to guide you and support you. Recommit to your power and dynamism. Channel it to into your clients and through your gifts and services. There's nothing you can't accomplish. Don't let the shadows keep you from moving forward. See and be seen. Sagittarius: Home and heart have been getting shredded, restructured. This has prepared you for the coming cycle of passionate and powerful stirrings within you. How will you channel this fire? Where would you like to put your strengths and efforts? A new sense of balance is coming with your losses which offers some healing and support, a mending to your broken heart. Use your passion constructively. Now is a great time to start anew. Listen to you gut and watch over-indulgences. Capricorn: The only way out is through. The only way through is with courage and creativity. As your ego and sense of self get restructured, take notes. What gives you your ability, your will and desire to move forward? Passion continues to build in your heart, but watch out for heart burn. Channel this heat effectively as romance and shakti flare. Keep moving towards the nourishment, the support, the vital stability you seek. Watch for mixed messages and smoke signals. Aquarius: Do what you say and say what you do. Do what you feel and feel what you do. Share what you feel and offer what moves through you. Be courageous enough to be authentic and you can't go wrong. Your courage and passion to do so increases in the coming weeks, but it's important to watch the doubts that appear. Work consciously on these old themes as they have stopped you from achieving your greatness in the past. Now is your opportunity to move beyond the old haunts. Pisces: You are the case study for us all right now Pisces. You've been getting cracked open raw and getting cut into a variety of pieces. With all this restructuring inside, finding your footing, a way to land, has been challenging. There's more change on the way- but the kind that will support some integration and greater stability. Using your voice will be vital in order for you to get your needs met. You are learning how to express yourself more powerfully. Getting what you need requires that you know what you need, then you can ask for it. Horoscopes for the Waning Moon Cycle {April 4th to 18th} Themes of deep transformation continue thanks to Saturn’s retrograde motion through Scorpio with the re-structuring effects of Ketu‘s transit through Pisces as well. Expect awareness and changes that connect to endings, release and letting go. Sun continues to touch Ketu as he moves through Pisces (endings) and then into Aries (beginnings), on April 14th. We may feel our egos and sense of self getting reformatted as immense changes from inside out continue. Look for themes surfacing that have to do with power, personal empowerment and authority in the coming cycle. The delicate gap between Pisces and Aries opens up once again as Mercury moves out of its debilitation in Pisces and into Aries on the 11th. This gap opens yet again when Sun moves out of Pisces and into its sign of exaltation, Aries, on the 14th. This gandanta (gap) is particularly challenging, signifying deep inner change, while ushering in insights and support from higher realms. Multiple parts of ourselves are going through upheaval and release right now. Be willing to let old parts of yourself get burned, purified and released as this is a time of alchemical changes. As the eclipse portal closes with the April 4th full Moon and lunar eclipse, a softening arrives with some relief from the intensity of the past weeks.

Themes of deep transformation continue. Changes that connect to endings, release and letting go are emerging for each of us. As multiple planets touch the re-structuring heat of Ketu on their way out of Pisces (endings) and into Aries (beginnings), we will feel many areas of our being getting reformatted. The portal between Pisces and Aries opens up once Venus starts the procession from the end of the zodiac into the beginning. Mars follows suit March 23rd, then Mercury and Sun in April. This gandanta (gap) is particularly challenging, signifying deep inner change while ushering in insights and support from higher realms. Multiple parts of ourselves are going through upheaval and release. Trust the process and learn the art of surrender as you face your fire. Saturn begins his six month retrograde motion on March 14th. This is an event of re-visiting our structures, support systems- both internally and externally. The returning process is happening on an emotional body level which will demand our complete attention- especially as Jupiter continues to transit through the heart-centered emotional water sign of Cancer. The inner work that we commit to at this time will be lasting, deeply rooted change. This will bring transformation on the physical and emotional body levels. Read more about Saturn's transit through Scorpio and how he is impacting each sign. This waxing Moon cycle falls in between the delicate two week gap between solar eclipse and lunar eclipse. The spring celebration of the Divine Mothers, Vasant Navaratri, falls during this delicate two week gap. The nine day celebration begins Saturday March 21st with Moon in Pisces conjunct Mars, Sun and Ketu, intensifying themes of loss, release and letting go. Read more about Vasant Navaratri and how to make the most of this sacred time. I'll be sharing a 10 Day Self Care Challenge in my newsletter in the coming days for some extra resources. Make sure you're on my list. Remember that eclipses represent the shadowed self, our inner darkness that must come to the light. In the Vedic tradition, this is not a time to take risks, start new endeavors, or to over-exert. It is a time, however, of turning inward, of meditation and contemplation and a time to take extra care of the physical body with good routine etc. The delicate two week period between eclipses will end with a lunar eclipse and full Moon on April 4th. This full Moon will also be Hanuman Jayanti, the birthday of the sacred Monkey god who symbolizes heartfelt devotion. Timing is everything. Make a fresh start and take powerful action steps aligned with Nature. Are you working with her cycles or against them?

Take bold and powerful action steps. Stand in your power and resolve to get your needs met. Don't take no for an answer. There is fear, uncertainty and a weakened ego to contend with, but confronting this darkness is part of the battle right now. These are old haunts and you are all too familiar with them. How you choose to work with these emotions and stories right now determines how you will move forward from here on out. Be bold.
Taurus: As you work more consciously with gains and losses, you may be noticing how life becomes almost neutralized as a result. Plus one, minus one, the result is still the same. There is an important message here for your ego and your mind. You don't change, no matter what is occurring around you, to you, through you. You stay the same. You are the neutral, the non changing. Be that non-dual state and use it as a way to overcome the fears and illusions that arrive. Gemini: It's important to be using your career right now as a self development tool, a resource for inner change. The way we handle our business is the way we handle our life and vice versa. If you are feeling the upheavals and changes with your offering to the world and how you offer yourself, it's time to start surfing the waves with more intention. How can you use these challenges as an opportunity for growth? What new resources and support do you need as you strengthen your business skills? Cancer: Very necessary parts of yourself are being restructured- pulled apart so you can put them back together more consciously. This re-structuring process has everything to do with you stepping into your dharma, your path, more aligned and more certain. Take some courageous action steps and put yourself out in more visible ways. Get the attention and recognition your ego needs to feel more confident in moving forward. You've done this before and you will do it again, but right now, your actions determine how you will thrive in the coming months. This will change the course of your path so let your steps be conscious. Leo: Changes are occurring in you from the inside out and helping you touch upon deep wounds of the past. Your ego and sense of self is going through many transformations. Some new passion is being re-kindled in this process so tend to this inner flame carefully. This requires being diligent and gentle with your emotional body right now. The keys are within your heart. The emotional body will be a necessary resource to help you unlock other hidden messages. Keep your eye on the prize and trust there is light at the end of the tunnel. Don't go down with the sinking ship! Stay connected to your purpose. Virgo: Uncertainties continue to plague you. By now, I hope you are figuring out that the best use of your time and efforts is to deeply surrender. Not roll over and take it, but in fact release and let go of your old attachments. These attachments are causing you great pain and suffering which are in fact the wounds you must transform and heal. Ketu in your 7th house is helping you shift your relationship attachments and find a new sense of inner strength simultaneously. You are building courage but this is a slow process. Let your steps be intentional. Libra: You are truly getting a chance to work on some very lingering bad habits. To heal and transform parts of yourself that are keeping you from succeeding powerfully and with conviction. Ego and mental body are getting cracked open, undermining your sense of comfort and support. Nourishment may feel fleeting or lost, but if you're paying attention, these themes are all too familiar. How can you move forward more consciously? How can you get some new support? What relationships are showing up to help you with this? Build a deeper relationship with your vulnerability. Scorpio: Feeling sensitive? That might be an understatement, so tending to your fragility with grace is truly the challenge. I believe this is possible as you acquire and gather new resources for yourself right now. Notice what is arriving to support you at this time of great transition and change. Learning to trust your gut intelligence, your instincts and intuition in deeper ways is part of what you are learning. This deeper relationship with your inner intelligence is truly just the thing you need for becoming more empowered. Trust the process. Sagittarius: Let the small comforts in, whatever may be returning. Notice if some of these returning comforts are actually bringing more pain instead. Perhaps you've outgrown some parts of yourself? Your needs have changed? Whatever this new awareness is, mark it and pay homage to it intentionally. The heart is learning and growing and helping you expand into new territory. Honor this and sense the strength in your core that is helping you reframe this time for yourself. Celebrate small victories. Capricorn: It feels like you've been here many times before. There's a strange comfort in this pain and transformation. Are you addicted to the pain? Do you use it as creative life force energy? Do you require it to thrive? Is it somehow a strange sort of medicine for you to stand in the fire like this? I believe so. There's something you still need from this darkness and all that you are confronting right now. What are you ready to release this time once and for all and what do you still need to cling to? Suffering can get very comfortable. Be aware of your comfort levels. Aquarius: You are finding new ways to be nourished, but not without facing your malnourishment in the process. The pains, the turmoil and the angst is a result of not being able to absorb the nourishment in you and around you. There are reasons for this and they come from your family system, your early childhood experiences. The sooner you are willing to bravely unpack these challenges and haunts, the sooner you'll be able to rebuild the life you've been waiting to live. Ask for support. Pisces: You've been getting the pressure from all sides dear one. In fact the major planetary shifts that have been happening for weeks now have all been happening inside your head. This is a time of deep awakening, of being cracked open in very intimate and intense ways. It would be completely normal for you to be feeling fragile, vulnerable and raw right now. The most important steps though are the ones you take to slowly piece yourself back together. Like Wabi Sabi, let the gold replace the broken places. Multiple planetary shifts are occurring during this waning dark half. Mercury has just entered Aquarius, Venus jumps into Aries, Sun moves to Pisces and Saturn goes retrograde- all in a period of 7 days. These changes are ushering in fresh starts, preparing us for the new Moon, eclipses and Vasant Navaratri, the nine day celebration honoring the Divine Mothers. The blossoming Shakti of spring is already awakening. A lot of energy is shifting in and around us. We've had weeks of intense focus on water signs and our emotional body, but now the heat is on! Fire intensifies as the Sun moves into the water sign Pisces, conjunct Mars and Ketu. Three fire planets in a water sign! Additionally, ruling planet of Pisces, the water planet Venus, is in a fire sign, Aries, as well. The next two weeks will require us to face our challenging emotions diligently, while the gaze of Jupiter onto Pisces will assist with support and nourishment for this process. Anger will be an important theme to address during this time. What is underneath the anger?! What is your anger trying to tell you?! What are the needs below the anger, frustration and rage?! Addressing these questions will help you find a deeper relationships with passion, your fire of life. Be brave! We are each in a time of deep transformation and changes that connect to endings, release and letting go. As multiple planets touch the re-structuring heat of Ketu on their way out of Pisces (endings) and into Aries (beginnings), we will feel many areas of our being getting reformatted. The portal between Pisces and Aries opens up once Venus starts the procession from the end of the zodiac into the beginning. Mars will follow suit later this month, then Mercury and Sun in April. This gandanta (gap) is particularly challenging, signifying deep inner change while ushering in insights and support from higher realms. Saturn begins his six month retrograde motion on March 14th. This is an event of re-visiting our structures, support systems- both internally and externally. The returning process is happening on an emotional body level which will demand our complete attention- especially as Jupiter continues to transit through the heart-centered emotional water sign of Cancer.

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: As Sun dips into Pisces and your 12th house, it marks a month of introspection, a need for turning inward, deeper inquiry and self exploration. Ketu and Mars here intensify this for you, demanding your attention and intention on relationships, loss, letting go and endings. Saturn is asking you to return to these themes as well, to cultivate depth in your emotional body. Creativity and desire surges with Venus in your first house. Attend to your inner work first and foremost even with passions high. Taurus: With Sun transiting your 12th house now, it's a good time to be resting and rejuvenating, hitting the re-set button and taking time for yourself. Simultaneously passions are high, sexuality and sensuality are pulsing and relationship desires intensify. Get clear on what you want, while putting your needs first. Career gains will come with some restructuring, especially of the ego. Work with the emotions that surface and use this as an opportunity for deep transformation. Gemini: Everything about how you offer your self to the world and what you offer is getting restructured. It's not coming without heat and pressure, but that's the point. Unless we are backed into a corner and intensity builds, we likely don't make crucial life changes. You are at one of those life-altering junction points. There's no turning back and only gains to be had. Be bold and go for gold. Cancer: With Mercury transiting Aquarius, your 8th house, it's a perfect time to be meditating and transforming the mental body. Diligently face your fears and address the issues holding your back from shining. As Sun shifts into your 9th house, it's time to get brave about sharing your self in new ways, bolder ways. Your ego is getting some restructuring in the process and it's long overdue. It's time to look courageously at what is truly holding you back. Get the ball rolling now and prepare for exalted Sun in your 10th house of career up next! Leo: Your ruling planet, Sun, is hiding out in your 8th house right now, conjunct Mars and Ketu. Major restructuring of your sense of self, ego, and abilities are shifting. This is powerful work coming from the inside out, though challenging. Slide into the release, the letting go process and soften the metamorphosis coming from within. Rely on your creativity to be your greatest teacher right now. Let relationships show you the way. Virgo: You have been working with themes of endings and release for months now. Relationships have been getting re-structured so you can start deepening your inner awareness and building the life you truly want and need. You are still in a healing phase and processing a lot of the changes happening to you right now. This is vital digestion and assimilation. Work with the anger diligently right now. How much fire are you spitting at others? How much of that fire would be put to better use as a creative artistic act? Use the heat to make a diamond. Libra: The heat is on in your 6th house of healing. You're getting a chance right now to shift and heal some of your relationships should you take on the challenge. Your willingness to surrender to the healing process will help you stay out of the fire pit and lessen any burns. Letting go, releasing and removing the old, outworn and unhealthy parts of yourself are vital. Let go and release others who are no longer serving or nourishing your path. As Saturn retrogrades through your 2nd house, the theme of getting the nourishment you need will intensify. Work with receiving. Scorpio: Your sense of power (personal and otherwise) is being tested, dismantled and restructured. How you give and receive nourishment and finding ways to heal past relationship challenges, is part of this power dynamic. You are learning a lot about your heart, emotional body and feelings right now. Continue to courageously address your inner wounding and what keeps you from your wholeness, connection, creativity and resiliency. Simultaneously, use your immense creativity as the healing balm. Sagittarius: The emotional body and home environment are giving you heart burn. You are processing old losses, grief and letting go right now. Lick your wounds and tend to the heat that is building. Treat this fire tenderly as it is your life light. You may only feel the darkness and shadow of it now, but when you are ready, the cracks forming in your being will slowly give way to increased light and awareness. When you are walking through fire, remember to just keep walking. Capricorn: Power, momentum and creativity are high right now. Your hands and feet are alive with the creation process and wish to share, offer and connect. Though Rahu is marana in your 9th house, pushing you to face your shadows around the masculine, the father and gurus, you are learning a lot about yourself in the process. The critic is an important part of your inner exploration right now. Your inner critic is keeping you from your deepest nourishment. It's time to befriend this part of yourself, or at the least, invite it to tea! Aquarius: Re-tracing your steps will be a helpful way for you to find new resources for your life offerings. What have you missed previously? What have you cast aside as insignificant or unworthy? Use both challenges and weaknesses as resource materials. The truth is, there is a lot of creativity flowing through you right now. Capture the imagination and shape these ideas into tangible form, into products, clear offerings, that you can share with others. There is new nourishment to be had if you re-structure how you receive it. Pisces: Yet another intense wave of endings, release and loss are moving through you. Getting cracked wide open is never fun, nor enjoyable. However, the results are usually worth the effort in the long run. Where we are cracked and broken open is where the light can come in. Ketu continues to work his magic on your re-structuring process, from the head down to your toes. Let your feet be your guide right now and use them to sense your connection, your source, your grounding. My Jyotish Basics Classes have begun!

It's challenging to see how our problems can actually be the solution. It's impossible most of the time to turn our weaknesses into our strengths. Rarely do we harvest resources in our weakest moments. The reality is, these are the very experiences that can change and transform our lives. These are moments of power if we choose to use them. Our jyotish charts are a resource for finding our power, our gifts and our strengths. The purpose of our jyotish charts is to share with us why we are alive, why we have incarnated. It shows us our strengths and our weaknesses. Rarely do we use these areas of weakness to maximize ourselves though. Traditionally, jyotish has been used as a means of creating greater awareness, a tool of insight. Often though our challenges, our karmas, are shown to us as a hardship that may not be overcome in this lifetime. It's true, the jyotish chart is a map of our accumulated karmas thus far, but it is important to remember this energy is not stagnant- is is constantly changing- as are we. I use the jyotish chart to maximize the energy of change, the potential for transformation. In my classes and personal sessions, my intention is to always empower my clients to use resources that will keep them evolving, moving, changing and transforming towards their highest potential. But when we are stuck in darkness, it is often hard to see the light switch. Money problems, worries and anxieties, are part of this paradigm of "stuckness" that can keep us in a state of overwhelm, feeling powerless, as a result of not being able to see ourselves clearly. The number one complaint I hear from clients is that they have a lack of money. The roots of this money issue can be seen in the jyotish chart, but ultimately it is an inability to nourish ones self, to receive nourishment from life. The second house is vital to determine our relationship with money. It is the house of nourishment, how we are fed. Literally it is connected to the time immediately after birth, and how we were nourished directly after we were born as well as during our childhood. It is the house of food and the body parts connected to the second house are mouth and throat as well as speech. But the second house is also a wealth house. Money in fact is a source of nourishment, a way of being fed. What is your relationship with nourishment? We can look to the second house to determine our relationship with life nourishment, but really all of our relationships are determined by Venus, the karaka (indicator) of love and relating. Venus is the planet of love and allows the nourishment to flow, to be fluid, to move through us freely. If we have blockages that keep Venus's love from flowing, we will also have issues with the other indications of Venus as well: wealth, creativity, life force energy. Since Venus is connected to jala, water, it truly brings us life. This is why money is an important part of having a good relationship with life. Money brings life itself. Problems arrive when we are not in right relationship with this creative, fluid nourishment from Venus. You can look at your chart to see what obstructions might be affecting your flow. Any connections Saturn has with your Venus will be an indication their is loss, grief or sadness effecting your ability to be nourished. Rahu will bring misjudgments, mistrust, fears and illusions that make you feel unsafe or not seeing clearly. Mars may offer pains due to acting without thinking, thus there may have been issues where you have literally gotten "burned" by money. These are important discoveries because they show you where your resources are hidden! Yes, these challenges, these pains from the past, share important insights for making more income. These painful stories from past experiences are the keys to unlocking the blockages effecting your Venus, the flow of nourishment to you and through you. The time is now for more wealth! As I mentioned in my passion article, the time is truly ripe to work on our Venus issues right now. With the current conjunction of Mars and Ketu conjunct exalted Venus until March 12th, we have a very ripe opportunity to face our fears about wealth, money and nourishment. This theme will continue for the coming months as Ketu continues to transit Pisces, Venus's domain. Since many are feeling challenged by the current Venus/Mars/Ketu conjunction and feeling the obstructions of money directly at this time, it is actually a wonderful opportunity to work directly with the issues coming up for you. This is the brilliance of the transits and how to work with challenging situations that arrive while they are happening. See them as a way to crack open and receive more light. Ketu offers us awakenings if we choose to go into the pain, to heal it and transform it, rather than stay in our illusions and suffering. I use EFT (the emotional freedom technique) as a way to directly target the intense emotional (Moon) and mental (Mercury) responses we experience as a result of our painful experiences and life challenges. These mental/emotional issues effect the physical body (Saturn) and the body will share these messages with us diligently so listen up! EFT is a very efficient way to transform our challenges into awakening and awareness (Ketu). This tool can help us target what needs to be cleared in order to get the Venus life force energy moving through us more fluidly. The podcast below will take you through an EFT tapping sequence that will help you address and clear your money fears connected to debt. Our relationship with debt and our ability to save money represents our ability to hold onto nourishment in our lives, to absorb support and security. When we can't hold onto money there is usually an issue with some loss from the past. Notice in your jyotish chart if Saturn is connected to your Venus in any way. What losses are you still grieving? This will show up in your money and will often become a financial debt at some point. Use this podcast to address the emotions connected to your debts so you can release them and get money flowing to you. Want more support building your wealth now? Please join me for my special June workshop! From Scarcity to Abundance Use resistance and challenges with money as your biggest resources for change and deepen your relationship with money through an embodied, holistic approach to wealth, money making and thriving. Get the Details!  We all want passion. It makes life worth living. It's the joie de vie that takes life from dull and mediocre, to exciting and fresh. It can keep us going, moving, and actually make us want to expand ourselves in a natural way. Yet most of us are often stuck in neutral, coasting through life, feeling the struggle of life's challenges, rather than the juicy, good stuff on the other side of the struggle. Passion for many, is little more than wishful thinking, a subtle desire, a yearning, or perhaps something that is fleeting. We all have access to greater and greater passion though. It's a muscle that needs to be used, practiced, flexed, explored, played with. It's not something that magically appears, rather it's an intrinsic part of our nature that has to be cultivated and nurtured. Right now, the planets are ripe with passion, helping us each to explore this part of ourselves in more intimate ways. Nature gives us these time periods to dip our toes in, or jump full body, into the rivers of passion. Venus has been chasing Mars for months- and this combination is ideal for inducing passion. Mars is our inner fire, our warrior spirit. He is decisive, clear and action oriented. He doesn't think (that's Mercury's job) but instead chooses to go forth without question. Venus on the other hand is connected to our inner waters (jala) and by default our creative life force, our shakti. Venus connects us, helps us relate, to be in relationship. Venus is a co-creative planet and it helps us to feel nourished, to receive nourishment from life, from others, and ultimately from ourselves. Venus is the planet of love for this reason. The combination of Mars and Venus induces a fire and water combination, yet these two are neutral to each other (they tolerate each other in other words). As Mars moves into Pisces on February 11th, joining Ketu here, our passions increase, as well as our desires. These themes intensify as Venus moves to Pisces on the 15th of February, its sign of exaltation. An exalted planet can fully expand and express itself (for better or worse) and so we will see our inner waters swell and increase as well. This can be a time of maximum creativity, maximum love flowing, and more open channels for all things Venus (such as money, love, the feminine, relationships, creativity, art, beauty, worldly pleasures). With exalted Venus conjunct Mars and Ketu, we get a warrior like re-structuring of our love, our creative flow, our relationships. The combination of Mars and Venus creates a feeling of passion within us. This is a result of fire and water merging, creating steam within us. This steam can be a powerful force- energizing, clearing and purifying. What steam is being created in your life right now? As you look at your jyotish chart, locate Pisces, the number 12. This is where the conjunction of Mars, Ketu and exalted Venus is happening for you until March 12th. You'll want to notice what house Pisces is in (based on your rising sign) as this placement will heighten the theme of passion in this area of your life. Pisces by default connects us to our feet (12th house matters) and therefor working with the feet as a primary body part resource can be helpful right now to assimilate the nourishment arriving, the intensity of the passions we are experiencing, and also to ground us in the now. Working with the feet allows us to "step forward" in our lives and "stand our ground" and also to "leap and land". Simultaneously, Venus connects us to our pelvis. Working with the dynamics, the relationship between feet and Pelvis can help us maximize our creative connection, our feeling level of life, while rooting us in this nourishing awareness. Here are three simple steps to help you create more passion in your life and to capitalize on the increased passion available to us at this time. 1) Connect with your feelings. What makes you feel joyful, enthusiastic, inspired? What induces a feeling of love in you? What makes you feel nourished and satisfied? Get descriptive. 2) What activities inspire the above feelings? Maybe it's cooking a wonderful meal or reading a book with a cup of tea. Maybe walking in the woods with your dog. Write down the activities that induce these feelings of joy, love and nourishment within you. 3) Circle the top three activities that bring you the most joy, love and nourishment. These are your "go-to" activities to create greater passion in your life. These activities will push your passion buttons, open the channels within you and awaken a deeper connection with your life force. Make sure that you are using these activities once a week, or even daily, to connect to the passion coursing through you. Remember, passion is like a muscle that must be flexed, used, and developed. It takes practice. I invite you to notice where the sensation of passion is stirred within your body. Where do you feel the passion enlivening you? What body part is connected to this passionate feeling moving through you? This body part can be a powerful ally of support and an important resource for you so pay attention to what messages it has to share with you. Enjoy the passion moving through you!
