Looking Ahead:

February 12th: Sun in Aquarius

February 18th: Saturn at 2 degrees in Sagittarius

February 22nd: Mercury in Aquarius

February 24th: Maha Shivaratri

February 26th: New Moon in Aquarius and Satabisha Nakshatra + Annual Solar Eclipse

March 1st: Mars in Aries (own sign)

March 3rd: Venus Retrograde

March 12th: Full Moon in Leo and Purvaphalguni nakshatra + Holi

March 14th: Sun in Pisces

Sun in Aquarius

Sun moves to Aquarius at 07:46 am MST today, joining the restructuring planet, Ketu here. This is a healing transit, if you choose to look closely at your challenges, setbacks and obstacles. Resistance to your darkness will provoke more challenges, so best to surrender and lean in. The soul and the ego are going through a transformation in the cycle to come, which lasts until March 14th.

Allow yourself to be stripped, shredded and release illusions that are keeping you in the dark. 

Mercury in Aquarius

February 22nd, mid morning, swift moving Mercury arrives in Aquarius- joining Sun and Ketu here. This marks the last planet that will conjunct Ketu after months of all planets being hemmed in between Rahu and Ketu during the Kala Sarpa Yoga. Though this malefic yoga technically ended once Mars shifted into Pisces weeks ago, the conjunction of Sun and now Mercury with Ketu, is significant. There is closure taking place and certain death to old mental behaviors and patterns. The mind will be disconnected, restructured and transformed. Think of this like an internal re-boot.

Maha Shivaratri

Shivaratri arrives just before the new Moon (Amavasya) on February 24th. This is a time of deep silence and strong potential. It is the marriage celebration of Shiva and Shakti, a symbolic union of wholeness- when the absolute unmanifest, conjoins with the pulse of life force energy. Masculine and feminine merge and create life- and the ability to manifest becomes amplified. From this place of union, we can ignite the power of being, the power of life.

New Moon in Aquarius

On February 26th, the new Moon takes place in Aquarius at 07:59 am MST with the annual solar eclipse and four planets transiting the medicine star, Satabisha. Amavasya is the empty Moon, or new Moon- ripe with potential, fertility and possibility. It is always connected to Pitr, the god of the ancestors, particularly the father's lineage.

Mars in Aries

On March 1st at 13:38 MST, Mars moves through the challenging gandanta (gap) of endings and leaps into a new beginning. He will be burning off the past two years of karma (action) as he steps through this portal. There are three of these poignant gandantas in the zodiac- all marked by the gap between water and fire signs. 

Venus Retrograde

At 07:21 am on January 27th, Venus arrives in its exaltation sign, Pisces, joining Mars here. This will be an extended stay for Venus in its most powerful sign. Normally Venus transits are about one months long, but Venus will be here until May 31st. Part of this transit, Venus will be retrograde (from March 3rd to April 15th) rendering her effects debilitated. Expect highs (exalted) and lows (retrograde) with all things Venus during this transit.

Full Moon in Leo

The March full Moon is on the 12th at 08:54 am MST, while Moon is at the edge of Leo. Moon will be conjunct shadow node Rahu at this time and moving through Aryaman's domain in Uttaraphalguni. Aryaman is one of the 12 Adityas, meaning he brings resources, support and abundance on the material plane of existence. He is also known as the chief of the ancestors and that which pleases them- particularly through marriage, children and anything that continues the lineage. The Phalguni stars relate to love, sexuality and relationship. Perfectly timed, as the Vedic fertility festival Holi is taking place simultaneously.

Mercury in Pisces

As Mercury settles into its debilitation sign, Pisces, on March 10th, a mental body depression arrives. This impacts life path, purpose and a sense of progress. This depression with hopes, dreams and aspirations is impacted by the inner critic and past failures. Part of you doesn't trust your ability to succeed, so subconsciously there's a refusal to step forward. At the same time, this is powerful opportunity to look more closely at the mental thought patterns that are hindering your success, momentum and achievements.

Sun in Pisces

On March 14th, Sun moves to the final sign of the zodiac, Pisces, at 05:40am MST. He joins Mercury and Venus here. Retrograde Jupiter gives his gaze, bringing expansion and integrity. This is a cycle of increasing courage, strength and empowerment by activating creativity and inner power. It's vital that you step into your creative intelligence with gusto and tenacity! Where are you slacking, playing small and refusing to increase the vibrancy of your life? What does it look like to upgrade your relationships, purpose and inner power? 

Horoscopes

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:
Here we go again
You're dancing with the fire
You're dancing with the Beast
You're still hungry-
I'll take you to the feast.

Here we go again
The rage is a craving
The thunder is your song
The power is misfortune
The misery is strong

Here we go again
The spirals and the chaos
The torment and the chains
No steps to the mirror
Oh! The Beast lives on.


Here we go again
I'm waiting with my palms
I watch you burn and writhe
I sing your laments
Still waiting for your dawn.

-Swati J. Miller

Taurus:
THE HOUSE OF BELONGING

I awoke
this morning
in the gold light
turning this way
and that

thinking for
a moment
it was one
day
like any other.

But
the veil had gone
from my
darkened heart
and
I thought

it must have been the quiet
candlelight
that filled my room,

it must have been
the first
easy rhythm
with which I breathed
myself to sleep,

it must have been
the prayer I said
speaking to the otherness
of the night.

And
I thought
this is the good day
you could
meet your love,

this is the grey day
someone close
to you could die.

This is the day
you realize
how easily the thread
is broken
between this world
and the next…


-David Whyte

Gemini:
It doesn't interest me if there is one God
or many gods.
I want to know if you belong or feel
abandoned.
If you know despair or can see it in others.
I want to know
if you are prepared to live in the world
with its harsh need
to change you. If you can look back
with firm eyes
saying this is where I stand. I want to know
if you know
how to melt into that fierce heat of living
falling toward
the center of your longing. I want to know
if you are willing
to live, day by day, with the consequence of love
and the bitter
unwanted passion of your sure defeat.

I have heard, in that fierce embrace, even
the gods speak of God.


—David Whyte

Cancer:
How do trees deal with injustice?
They grow a branch wherever they were cut.
And how do sparrows deal with grief?
They open their tiny wings and swoop at anything that glistens.
So why am I all cut & hungry?
Because I do not know the tree that is my soul and refuse the sparrow in my heart.


- from Finding Inner Courage by Mark Nepo

Leo:
Everyone who terrifies you is sixty-five percent water.
And everyone you love is made of stardust, and I know sometimes
you cannot even breathe deeply, and
the night sky is no home, and
you have cried yourself to sleep enough times
that you are down to your last two percent, but

nothing is infinite,
not even loss.

You are made of the sea and the stars, and one day
you are going to find yourself again. 


- F. Butler

Virgo: 
"Once upon a time, when women were birds, there was the simple understanding that to sing at dawn and to sing at dusk was to heal the world through joy. The birds still remember what we have forgotten, that the world is meant to be celebrated."

-Terry Tempest Williams

Libra:
SWEET DARKNESS

You must learn one thing.
The world was made to be free in.

Give up all the other worlds
except the one to which you belong.

Sometimes it takes darkness and the sweet
confinement of your aloneness

to learn

anything or anyone
that does not bring you alive
is too small for you.


-David Whyte

Scorpio:
The Thing Is

The thing is..
to love life, to love it even
when you have no stomach for it
and everything you've held dear
crumbles like burnt paper in your hand,
your throat filled with the silt of it.
When grief sits with you, its tropical heat
thickening the air, heavy as water
more fit for gills than lungs;
when grief weights you like your own flesh
only more of it, an obesity of grief,
you think, How can a body withstand this?
Then you hold life like a face
between your palms, a plain face,
no charming smile, no violet eyes,
and you say, yes, I will take you
I will love you again. 


-Ellen Bass

Sagittarius:
Be taught now, among the trees and rocks,
how the discarded is woven into shelter,
learn the way things hidden and unspoken
slowly proclaim their voice in the world....
Find that far inward symmetry
to all outward appearances, apprentice
yourself to yourself, begin to welcome back
all you sent away, be a new annunciation,
make yourself a door through which
to be hospitable, even to the stranger in you.


- David Whyte

Capricorn:
You do not have to be good.
You do not have to walk on your knees
for a hundred miles through the desert, repenting.
You only have to let the soft animal of your body
love what it loves.
Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mine.
Meanwhile the world goes on.
Meanwhile the sun and the clear pebbles of the rain
are moving across the landscapes,
over the prairies and the deep trees,
the mountains and the rivers.
Meanwhile the wild geese, high in the clean blue air,
are heading home again.
Whoever you are, no matter how lonely,
the world offers itself to your imagination,
calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting-
over and over announcing your place
in the family of things.


- Mary Oliver

Aquarius:
Praying

It doesn't have to be
the blue iris, it could be
weeds in a vacant lot, or a few
small stones; just
pay attention, then patch
a few words together and don’t try
to make them elaborate, this isn't
a contest but the doorway
into thanks, and a silence in which
another voice may speak.


- Mary Oliver

Pisces:
What To Do In Darkness

Go slowly
Consent to it
But don't wallow in it
Know it as a place of germination
And growth
Remember the light
Take an outstretched hand if you find one
Exercise unused senses
Find the path by walking it
Practice trust
Watch for dawn

Horoscopes
{January 15th to February 15th}


​Aries:
 Children, romance and gains continue to be vulnerable, so don’t drop your guard. These areas of your life need your focus and attention. Be diligent. Career is powerful and activated as Sun transits your 10th house. 

Taurus: Heart, home and emotions continue to get your focus, while career demands your attention. You are learning to step into your power more fully and learning from power, playfulness and desire. Step out and be seen.

Gemini: Keep working on your courage and bravery, as well as your creative powers. Expand and open your heart, while learning how to balance boundaries and inner needs. This is a time of pause and honoring your darkness.  

Cancer: Watch your speech and focus on getting the nourishment you need. This comes from diving deeply into your unconscious inner terrain. These very hidden parts of your being are sharing their wisdom with you right now.

Leo: You are trying to expand and grow, and at the same time feeling very challenged by it. Your head is in the shadows and it’s hard to see where you’re going right now. Relationships are requiring your diligence.

Virgo: This is a powerful time of self growth and inner expansion. What are you learning about yourself? What are you learning from your relationships? Great healing is possible right now, when you look at your challenges directly. 

Libra: Relationships continue to bring confusion and fascination. What are you learning about yourself? Open your heart and look within. The answers you seek and the uncertainty you are confronting requires your willingness to dive deeper. 

Scorpio: Radically step into your courage and creative power and don’t hold back! Go for what you long for and activate your biggest desires. Where are you playing small and resisting the nourishment of life? Your heart wisdom continues to guide you.

Sagittarius: There is such a longing to be clear on your path and purpose, and yet so much confusion surfacing simultaneously. Continue to seek resources and support to align with your dharma and get radical about this desire.  

Capricorn: The light bulb is on in your head! You are shining brightly and people are taking notice. Where are you directing your powerful light? Do this with deep intention and don’t squander this auspicious time. 

Aquarius: Relationships are still causing confusion and uncertainty, as well as growth and wisdom. You are learning a lot about yourself in the process and gaining new awareness along the way. Be still, meditate, find time alone and quiet the mind. 

Pisces: You are learning and growing from relationships and beginning to understand what you deeply need for support, stability and safety. Gains come from your clarity, although it’s taking courage. Be open to receiving on multiple levels.

Transit Alert! These Big Changes Are Coming.

11/28/2016

3 Comments

 
Picture

With all the big upheaval and changes that have recently taken place, I'd like to be able to say it's smooth sailing from here on out.

I wish I could say that the transits will be agreeable and offer ease and simplicity for the next few months. That there will be a pause and some gentleness. Unfortunately, the upcoming transits show big changes in the weeks and months ahead, and through 2017.

My intention is always to speak the sweet truth, so I will share the challenges here- with some important resources as well. Remember, there are always gifts! It may be more challenging to find them in the coming days, but moving closer to what you are grateful for is a balm for the heart.

This is a particularly tumultuous time. Unlike anything I've seen before- because there are multiple layers of challenges impacting us simultaneously. The aggression being stirred in the environment is activating individuals very acutely, and individuals are intensifying the collective energy as well. The churning is extreme right now.

In the Vedic literature, demon god, Rahu, was instrumental in the churning of the ocean of milk. The gods realized that by churning the ocean of milk, they could extract some Amrita, the divine nectar of immortality (like churned cream becomes butter). But they couldn't do it alone. They had to employ the support of the demons (asuras) to create the momentum needed.

The demons and gods worked together and the Amrita rose to the top, but the asuras ended up stealing it for themselves. The gods fought back and with the support of Vishnu (the sustaining force of dharma) they were able to regain the Amrita. Vishnu gave each one of the gods a drop of the immortal nectar, but Rahu (Svarbhanu) received a drop accidentally.

Rahu was positioned in between the Sun and the Moon as he received the nectar, and they recognized him at once. Vishnu chopped Rahu in half with a chakra and thus Rahu (head of the serpent) and Ketu (tail of the serpent) were born. Rahu continues to chase the Sun and Moon out of disdain.

The formless entities Rahu and Ketu are representative of the unseen forces at play within all humans. Rahu drives the cravings and the appetite for this material world, while Ketu forces the inevitable release process, severing us from worldly attachments.


Right now, this epic "churning" is taking place very acutely- inside of you and on the world stage. You are likely feeling this within mind and emotions directly. But all you have to do is look at what is taking place within our society right now to see how this churning is impacting the world- socially, politically, environmentally, etc. What is activating this dynamic right now is the Kala Sarpa Yoga effects. Sarpa means snake in Sanskrit, which is intensifying the serpent energy in extreme ways right now. Rahu is transiting through Leo and Ketu in Aquarius which is creating highs and lows and activating polarities very elaborately. Once the Kala Sarpa Yoga officially ends on January 20th when Mars shifts into Pisces, there will be some leveling out, but the churning will continue with the impact of Ketu.

Read more about Kala Sarpa Yoga's effects.

In the coming weeks and months, there will be an increase of Ketu's cutting energy. Ketu is the tail of the serpent who brings release, cutting of attachments and forced letting go. He brings liberation, ultimately, but usually not without pain. He can also show you specifically where there is trauma in your natal chart, as his detachment causes disconnection on multiple levels- physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.

On December 9th, Rahu shifts into a Ketu ruled nakshatra, Magha. This nakshatra is considered one of the three gandantas- junction points between water and fire signs. These portals are particularly notorious for creating immense transformation and change. Ketu is currently transiting a Rahu ruled nakshatra, Satabisha. This exchange between Rahu and Ketu will bring to light much of the darkness and deception that seems so illusive right now. Nothing is what it seems. The Sarpa (serpent) energy being activated right now is increasing the extreme highs and lows taking place inner and outer. Things go well and support comes, but then this is taken or it vanishes somehow. All is illusive and in constant change.

The shift of Rahu into Magha will activate the ancestors and increase the forced cutting and release process taking place currently. Magha brings magnanimous action and a royal spirit with profound accomplishment and visibility. It's shadow side is excess ego, misuse of masculine power and extreme or aggressive force.

As the necessity for being in right-relationship with the masculine energy comes to the surface right now, notice where you are pushing too hard and forcing outcomes. Notice where your ego is controlling you, rather than heart and spirit. Learning the art of detachment and release is an important lesson right now. We are also learning how to integrate extremes and polarities very intimately. Working with the spine very specifically is an important resource right now. Track sensations in your spine and use this as a resource for finding greater stability and support within.

As the new Moon in Scorpio arrives, the coming cycle brings an even greater necessity for integration, harmony and balance with your polarities and extremes. Let your spine lead the way as it is the Maha channel of integration for the entire body. As Sarpa (snake) energy continues to activate and intensify in the coming weeks, illusions and deceptions come to the light. Are you willing to look at your own shadows? Your own darkness is being mirrored to you through others- in challenging and confrontational ways right now. Look deeply within and clear away your darkness. Bring it to the light. Let your body and spine support this integration process of merging shadow and light. Stay connected to sensations in the spine. Listen for messages. Ask your spine to speak to you. What do you hear? Track this closely in the coming days. The body has all the wisdom you seek.


The theme of forced cutting and release will be amplified as a series of planets march through Sagittarius and Mula nakshatra in the coming weeks and months and through 2017. Mula is a Ketu ruled nakshatra, which is notorious for uprooting and forced releases. We've already experienced Mars and Venus transiting this challenging gandanta recently (the gap between water and fire signs that are particularly connected to untying knots within the psyche). Mercury begins his lengthy passage through Sagittarius on the 28th of November, marching in and out of Mula nakshatra several times between now and February. Sun shifts into Sagittarius next, creating big changes starting December 15th. Then Saturn arrives in Sagittarius for a few months, beginning January 26th.

Why do these transits provoke such change and upheaval?

Both Mula and Magha are gandanta points which trigger extreme inner turmoil and change. Gandantas are points in the zodiac between water signs and fire signs (Pisces/Aries, Cancer/Leo, Scorpio/Sagittarius). These points are notorious for causing immense upheaval, as deeply rooted knots within your being get released. Both Mula and Magha are nakshatras situated in these powerful gaps that trigger immense change processes to take place. Both nakshatras are also ruled by Ketu, a non planet notorious for sudden release, forced letting go and remarkable changes. His goal is to support your moksha, liberation, to release you from your attachments.

Mula nakshatra is ruled by the dark goddess, Nirrti, responsible for adharmic activity- that which is against dharma. She is notorious for causing chaos, calamity and misfortune, while also pulling you from your dharmic path. There is a risk in the coming months of losing your path, getting stuck in the storm of uncertainty, confusion and misalignment. If you find yourself lacking clarity about your life purpose, or confusion seems to increase, it's time to seek support and guidance. Resources, guidance and support will be even more important at this time because it will be so easy to fall into the chaos and confusion that Nirrti provokes. With great diligence however, this can also be a time of strengthening your determination, focus and alignment with dharma. Do not lose hope. Do not get lost in Nirrti's perfect storm. Stay connected and aligned with your dreams, desires, goals and passions. These are important resources to help you honor your dharmic path.

Make Tonight Count {For Your Inner Feminine}

11/8/2016

0 Comments

 
Picture


It's the climax of an intense election cycle tonight. Many Americans are feeling uncertain and challenged by what this country has endured through the past few months. The tension has been building, but tonight the end is near. I'll stay out of the partisan mud and stick to the energy at play and how the transits support this.

If you've been following along with my posts and transit reports, you know it's a challenging time. Then again, even without studying the planets, I imagine you can feel it. Sun is still debilitated (why America always chooses to elect its president during a debilitated Sun cycle, is beyond me!) and thus the lowest point of the year for our inner light. Mercury just moved to Scorpio today and is weak. Venus is transiting Mula, a very challenging nakshatra. The aggressive planet, Mars, is currently exalted, while Saturn sits in an enemy's sign. Spiritual planet, Jupiter, struggles to integrate with the earthy sign of Virgo. All while the effects of a Kala Sarpa Yoga continue to intensify the highs and lows of feelings and experiences. This combination of transits is provoking an intense confrontation with all that is broken- all that needs to be fixed, healed and transformed, inside and out.

Whether consciously or unconsciously, you have been confronting polarities in the past months. As I have recently written about, the election in the USA is the epitome of this dance between opposing forces. What's interesting about the current Rahu/Ketu transit is that it's ripe with ripping off the veils of illusion, the masks that keep the status quo in check. Rahu moving through Leo is forcing ego to face the shadow, particularly masculine-centric ego and ideals. We see this being exposed on every level of the political system and campaign process right now, and with both major candidates. The culture of misogyny that is so deeply rooted into our society is being exposed, confronted and questioned in more blatant ways. Finally.

Meanwhile, the feminine has been unleashed in a very prominent and forceful way over the past many months as well. I see this as a very positive part of this entire election. There is a undeniable rise of the feminine and Her bold expression. Personally, I felt some new awakening this evening stirring within me, moving through me. A new declaration of my feminine wisdom and power. I feel this is both personal and collective. There is a shift towards the feminine that feels palpable right now. The feminine power is the strength that holds together the entire universe. She is the power of all powers. The purpose of the masculine is to give Her form, shape and structure so that She can manifest fully. However, the role of the masculine has been too overpowering for centuries, at the complete negation and rejection of feminine strength, power and wisdom.

Yet, now is the time when She is reawakening, stirring us awake, forcing Her power back into our awareness. I feel Her rising and at the same time I sense the discomfort between this new set point. The masculine shadow is very challenged by this change and it feels uncomfortable. There will be back-lash, resistance and a refusal to change as masculine structures crumble, but rest assured the feminine always conquers. Nature will always win.

Make the Most of This Time:

It is important to witness this dance of masculine and feminine taking place within you- within your own personal mythology. This dance of masculine and feminine is provoking important changes within you right now- whether you are aware of it or not.

It's a time to strengthen your creativity, your inner knowing and your divine purpose. It is a potent time to align with your inner compassion and the resource of loving-kindness, even as aggression and violence is stirred. This aggression is intensifying within us and around us. Track yourself carefully. The microcosm is the macrocosm and vice versa.

Use the coming days to deepen your connection to dharma, your feminine wisdom, intuition and Spirit. Gather yourself and get embodied. Stay close to breath and find your still point. Move closer to Her. Move closer to your inner power, your souls purpose. She is alive within you and is asking you to awaken right now in bigger ways. This may arrive as fear, conflict, anxiety, resistance or numbing. Challenges, pain and suffering are a reminder- not to resist and avoid the pain- but move closer to it.

- Break free from cycles of illusion and confusion.
- Deepen your understanding of your own unique healing journey.
- Clarify what the purpose of your pain and challenges are.
- Understand what your biggest challenges and shadow work are meant to teach you.
- Learn how to make the most of your coming year and avoid more struggle.
- Strengthen your dharmic steps and life purpose.
