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?

Everyone that comes to me for a session wants to know one of these things: What is my life purpose? How can I make more money? What can I do about my relationship issues? The hardest part of my job as a jyotish coach is not giving advise or looking at someone's chart and seeing what the challenges are for a person's life. I look at the karmic map and there are the struggles, the issues and challenges staring at me. Finding what isn't working, is not the hard part. As a jyotishi, the challenge I face consistently is giving resources, tools and embodiment guidance, but instead watching the client choose not to take these vital action steps. Watching a client refuse to take action in order to move through their weaknesses and obstacles is hard for me! Especially since I know that some very different approaches are needed in their life, in order for their desires to actually manifest. This requires my deepest surrender and detachment. It's true, many people just want to be told what to do and they want some magic pill to take care of it for them. They want a quick fix. A mantra, or yagya (which can often be valuable no doubt.) Or they want to know that their problems will just go away once Saturn isn't transiting over their Moon etc. Many clients hope that their "soul mate" will magically appear once a relationship transit arrives. But the reality is, it really isn't that simple. We get what we are ready for. What we are prepared for. What we have created space for. Money, love and creativity are all ruled by Venus- and rightfully so. These three powerful factors in our lives can bring joy or misery, abundance, or little more than a drop. Money, love and creativity are all determined by our ability to give and receive, or quite literally, the amount of flow and fluidity we are working with; the fluidity we are able to use and able to harness. This is why Venus is also connected to water, the most vital life-giving resource for us. Without water in the physical body, we have death. Death is lack of life of course, so the more vitality and life-giving forces we invite into our beings, the more life, fluidity and flow we experience as a result. The pelvis (and organs therein) as well as the second chakra, are the physical containers of money, love and creativity. If we are feeling a lack in any one of these areas, we need to address the physical issues connected to them as well. But the first chakra, and the body parts included in the first chakra (every thing from the pubic bone down to the feet), is perhaps the most vital part of the manifestation process. My favorite money quote is: Money wants clarity, purpose and flow! These are the domains of the first and second chakras! Contrary to popular belief, it isn't through thinking your desires that they become manifest. And contrary to popular belief it isn't through your meditation practice, your affirmations, your positive thinking, or anything else that is a part of your mental body process, that will actually help you materialize the intangible into the tangible. If you want to bring your desires into the material, you have to work with the first and second chakras (the lower, base, chakras) which are intimately connected with the material world. These chakras are all about being here, right now, in a physical form. Our body, our grounding, our actual physical connection to our life, is the realm of the first chakra. If you aren't in your body, embodied, you can not, and will not, be able to get your ideas and visions to manifest into the material world. We quite literally manifest through our body! This reality is reiterated through the story of lord Brahma creating the universe from his navel. He reminds us that we have the ability to create our lives- which is why he and his consort Saraswati rule over creativity and the power of the arts. They remind us that it is our creativity that is literally our most potent source of knowledge and wisdom for this existence. Want more money, love and creativity? Get into your body wisdom and your emotional body wisdom. Manifestation happens when we are intimately connected with our feeling level, our felt senses, the emotional body wisdom and the intuition. This is why I am so passionate about a body-centered approach to therapy, one that uses somatic wisdom, while also drawing upon the expressive arts as a resource for intimate exploration, and harnessing our innate, creative wisdom. It is also why I start my clients off with embodiment step number one, the three level check in. We must get more embodied if we want our dreams to manifest. We must work with the body wisdom and our intuitive knowing in order to create from our most primal sense of self. This is where we tap into our innate creativity. Creativity is actually a vital ingredient for the money and the love to start flowing. This is the gift of the embodiment resources and the art therapy techniques I work with; they potently activate the creative and physical channels. This stimulates the flow and fluidity of Venus, which we need in our lives in order to be more nourished on an ongoing basis. Don't think your desires. Feel them. Move them. Create with them. Go beyond your imagination. Gather your desires from your dreams, from your sense of intuitive knowing, and move them into existence through your body. Use your jyotish chart as your map to get you to the wisdom you need to unlock your shadows, disappointments and challenges. But don't stop there. In fact, if you stop at just the "knowing" of what your issues are, you won't move beyond them or learn to work with them differently. If you really want lasting change, and to create a different life for yourself, you have to take action steps that will literally help you re-create your life from the ground, up. From your feet to your head. From your first chakra and your second chakras first, then all the way up to your 7th chakra! I'm very passionate about my system, my tools and the synergy of modalities that I use of course! But I'm even more passionate about sharing them with you, and watching you grow, flourish, and thrive as you re-create your life over and over again! Want more support building your wealth now?
