This Week's Intention: Allow inner healing, transformation and renewal to take place. Release and purge the darkness in order for new light to emerge. Monday begins with a waning Moon in the 2nd tithi (phase) called Dvitiya. Moon transits Pisces, conjunct Ketu, while in Uttarabhadrapada nakshatra. Rahu and exalted Mercury give their drishti, inviting in a powerful dance between mind and emotions. Healing and transformational themes arrive for the week ahead- especially on the mental and emotional body levels. Be prepared to loosen your grip, to let go and release. As Moon moves through the final sign of the zodiac and the 26th nakshatra on Monday morning, we prepare for a new cycle. Allow release, letting go and transformation. Pour out your cup in the coming days. Ruling deity of Uttarabhadrapada, Ahirbudhnya, is the serpent of the netherworlds. He helps us access our hidden, inner wisdom. It's there, can you find it? It's the hidden, dark and mysterious kind. It will come in flashes- suddenly provoking insight and shifts in perception. If your third eye is closed, you'll miss it. Let Monday continue to offer its awakening support. Keep looking and you'll find what you are seeking. Monday evening, Moon moves to the final nakshatra of the zodiac, Revati, closing out another cycle. What endings need to be attended to? What beginnings are you preparing for? Mars and Venus form exact conjunction today as they continue to move through Cancer. Honor your heart and let the feelings flow. Mars brings cutting and precision which is painful to our softer, gentler side. Water planet Venus, can help us maintain fluidity and movement. Don't let stagnation hold you back. Try to avoid heart burn and heartache by staying in the flow. Use your body wisdom to navigate the emotional body challenges. Get embodied. Join me for my final round of Jyotish Basics classes! Our focus of the month is Healing the Four Bodies through the Wisdom of Jyotish. Sign Up. Tuesday arrives with Moon in Revati nakshatra, Pushan's domain. He assures nourishment on our journey, safety for our path and ease and comfort along the way. Look for resources and support as Pushan is here to offer them. Are you open to receiving what is arriving? The tussle between the emotional body and mental body continues. Strip away the veils of illusion and all that is keeping you from feeling your depth. The feeling body is your true wisdom, your strength and power. Allow feelings to emerge and listen to your emotions for clues. What do you need to invite in for greater nourishment and support on your path? Late afternoon, Moon makes the challenging shift from water (Pisces) to fire (Aries) as he leaps across the difficult gandanta gap- from endings to beginnings. Jupiter gives his drishti and his blessings to Aries, but only if we strip away the false, the illusions. Stand in your power. Be bold and step powerfully into renewal. Mark this time by declaring your intentions for the new cycle. The Ashvini-Kumara twins are here to guide you with their healing support and wisdom. Wednesday offers the possibility for fresh mental body beginnings. Moon continues through Ashwini nakshatra and healing is offered- if we attend to our creativity, self care and rejuvenation. What can you simplify, let go of, release? How can you soften in the heart and invite in more compassion- for your self and others? Can you stay in your power, even as you do so? After noon, Moon shifts to the edgy Bharani nakshatra and we feel a shift in focus. Sensitivity and strength emerge. Can we walk the fine line between these two? Ruling deity, Yama, reminds us of the delicate dance between vulnerability and power. Use restraint to maximize your power and potential. Don't waste your energy or efforts. Attend to self care. Thursday, Moon moves to the third portion of Aries and finishes up its movement through Bharani just after noon. As Moon shifts into Krittika nakshatra, purification and transformation are the catalysts for change and healing. Ruling deity, Agni, god of fire and all things digestion, brings his heat and potent life fire. Simmer, stew and cook away impurities, but don't burn or char them. It will take attention and intention to avoid the burn. Slowly release the inner heat. Stoke your inner flames gently. As Moon jumps into Taurus in the evening, its potency is released. The emotional body arrives into an exalted state- for better or worse. Can you handle the high tides or do you need a life preserver? Saturn gives his drishti (gaze) and amplifies our pain, suffering and grief. Open the valves. Rahu gives his gaze as well, inviting in grande illusion and uncertainty. Is the pain real or false? Last Chance! Join me for my final round of Jyotish Basics classes! Our focus of the month is Healing the Four Bodies through the Wisdom of Jyotish. Sign Up. As Friday arrives, Moon moves into mulitrikona degrees as it continues through Krittika nakshatra. Agni is still supporting our clarification process. Transform, heal, release, repeat. Get clear on what needs to be let go of, then let it fly. Just after noon, Moon shifts to the creative and potent constellation, Rohini. Lord Brahma arrives to support our creative powers, instigate manifestation and activate our life force energy. The clarification and cleaning process from the previous days has cleared the channels for new flow and activation. Consciously remove the blockages that are keeping you from abundance. What is stopping your flow? What powerful action steps need to be taken? The intensity of the previous days and weeks begins to dissipate as the triad of tight conjunctions loosens. Mars and Venus will continue to dance with each other closely, though separating somewhat as they won't be in exact degrees. Mars however is still debilitated until September 15th which brings challenges to actions and emotions. Jupiter and Sun also begin to separate from close conjunction in Leo, lessening the heat and pressure on our inner wisdom and sense of self. Mercury and Rahu also move away from tight conjunction for now. Start to feel the space and open the pathways of awakening and understanding. Allow resources, answers and solutions. Saturday continues with Brahmas creative support and manifestation powers until noon. As Moon slips into Mrigashirsha nakshatra midday, it's time to shift our focus to increasing nourishment through Soma's gifts. There's healing, wisdom, support and life giving resources to be had. Are you listening? Are you able to receive? Your heart and emotional body will be the primary channels for this nectar of life. Keep reaching and extending towards the nourishment you need. Just as Sunday begins, Moon jumps into Gemini, Mercury's sign. Moon finishes up the ninth tithi (phase) called Navami, as the waning Moon settles in. Outside of the gaze of any other planets, Moon can help us feel some inner momentum in the coming days. Check in with your self and do an audit of your life on the four levels of being- mental, emotional, physical and spiritual. What needs to be attended to at this time? At noon, Moon moves to the forceful nakshatra, Ardra, and its ruling deity, Rudra, intensifies our mental/emotional balance. Can you feel the increase from all sides? Now, more than ever, its vital that you listen to your inner signals and watch for the manipulation of chaos. Take your power back and stand in your center, your knowing. This soft center, where your inner wisdom resides, is the place where your power can not be dismantled. Stay true to your knowing. Get grounded. Venus goes direct at 01:28 in Cancer. For well over a month Venus's backwards dance has asked us to re-evaluate relationships, money, creativity and our life force energy. The planet of relationships, creativity, and artistry, Venus is connected to all things feminine and life giving. It offers beauty, fluidity, wealth and life giving powers, most essentially, shakti. Worldly comforts and resources can increase through Venus's benevolence and help us feel more stable in material ways. As Venus continues to move through Cancer, conjunct debilitated Mars, our chest, heart and emotional body center feels the pangs. The planet of feeling, creativity, relationships and all things beautiful and worldly continues to adjust to the high demands of the heart and emotions until September 30th. With debilitated Mars in this sign as well, our heart is in for an emotional ride. The valves are open for an influx of water, feelings, heightened emotions and all the challenges connected to these. Home, heart, land, vehicles, mother and all fourth house matters get amplified. How do you navigate the choppy waters? Will you sink, swim or learn to float? Can you attend to the moving tides and go with the flow? Now is an excellent time to clean up and heal issues with relationships, money, creativity and emotions. Don't fight the tidal waves, but learn to swim with the currents. Venus must now re-trace his steps back through the first part of Leo. As he moves back through Leo on September 30th, he works his way through Magha nakshatra once again- the domain of the ancestors, most notably the father. This increases our attention on power, authority and the need to pay special attention to our personal mythology connected to these themes. As Venus moves through Leo, we can expect passions to increase for relationships and connection, while strong desires may emerge simultaneously. Expect intensified strength, determination and power to materialize, while aggression and agitation may increase as well. The transit of Venus through Leo is the instigation of an unfolding theme that has been ripening within the planets. Working with power and authority dynamics is vital, especially the masculine energy within you. Notice where you are pushing, using excessive force and using an over-active drive to accomplish and succeed. Take time to contemplate the meaning of success from different angles. Your ego may feel challenged by this. How can you soften your action steps? Where can you let go and surrender more? How can you be a winner- on all levels of life? How can you meet your relationships with more compassion- both with yourself and others? This work with power dynamics is especially relevant while Venus enters back into the first portion of Leo- where Jupiter is currently. Sunday's reminder is important through Monday. After noon, Moon shifts to a softer, more sensitive nakshatra, Punarvasu. Aditi's all knowing wisdom offers us insights and awareness that weren't previously available to us. Let her nourishment give you depth, trust and expanded knowing. There is some clean up to do. Listen to your truth. *Timing used is Pacific Standard Time Zone.

This Week's Intention: Take your lemons and make them into lemonade. Transform, change, heal. Use your creative forces. Though the Moon is waning and Mars is debilitated which truly brings our focus inward, the week starts with a certain intensity as Moon transits through Ardra nakshatra on Monday. This nakshatra is notorious for its strength and tenacity, strong emotions and stormy weather. It's ruling deity is in fact the storm god, Rudra, who brings massive change and upheaval in his wake. What movement and strides are you making today? Standing in your power or getting tossed about with the storms? As Moon continues through Gemini on Tuesday, the mental body is our predominant focus. Moon shifts into Punarvasu nakshatra mid morning, bringing a softening and awakening shift with the blessings of Aditi. She brings unification, a certain understanding and a way to work with challenges. She offers resources and abundance in order to help us be comforted. She is the mother of all and brings her nourishing and supportive ways wherever she shows up. Can you feel her cradling you in her arms? Breaking the intensity of three planets in Ketu's nakshatra, Magha, Mercury shifts into Purvaphalguni late evening. Resource from relationships in the coming days. What has to shift for greater comfort, support and stability? This is an especially potent time to do your healing homework in this area as Venus is retrograde and now at the edge of Leo in very weak degrees. Saturn's gaze intensifies the challenges and provokes suffering. What clean up needs to occur with your relationships, finances and creativity? What has been neglected, yet is suddenly returning to the foreground? Get support for this tricky junction point. There's strong potential for change in these areas of our life if we put or focus and intention here. Are you joining me for my 10 Day Embodiment + Creativity Challenge?! Receive daily inspiration for increasing creativity, joy, embodiment and inner light. Get On the List. Moon shifts into its own sign, Cancer, in the wee hours Wednesday morning, joining Sun and debilitated Mars here. All receive gaze from Ketu who provokes sparks and sudden change. Late morning, Moon moves to the nourishing star, Pushya. Nourishment comes with balance and harnessing healthy boundaries. Working with the dynamic of yes and no thoughtfully and powerfully will insure that energy is not wasted. This nakshatra provides us with doors that close and doors that open. What doors are you opening? What doors are you closing? Make you choices intentionally. Moon is now in the 14th tithi (phase) of the waning cycle and our attention is focused within. Are you making room for the inner wisdom arriving or brushing past it? Venus is at the very edge of Leo today. Relationships, finances, creativity and life force energy are weak and challenged right now. Don't push it. Retrograde Venus shifts back into Cancer on Thursday morning at 05:36, joining Moon, Sun and debilitated Mars here. The gaze of Ketu upon these planets can cause sudden changes, shifts and uncertainties to arrive. On a more spiritual note, he can provide deep awakening and flashes of insight to arrive. Venus continues its retrograde path, back into Cancer just before the new Moon. On August 13th, Venus slides back into our chest, heart and emotional body center. The planet of feeling, creativity, relationships and all things beautiful and worldly will re-adjust to the high demands of the heart and emotions until September 30th. With Sun and debilitated Mars in this sign as well, our heart is in for an emotional ride. The valves are open for an influx of water, feelings, heightened emotions and all the challenges connected to these. Home, heart, land, vehicles, mother and all fourth house matters get amplified. How do you navigate the choppy waters? Will you sink, swim or learn to float? Can you attend to the moving tides and go with the flow? Now is an excellent time to clean up and heal issues with relationships, money, creativity and emotions. Don't fight the tidal waves, but learn to swim with the currents. Moon shifts into Ashlesha nakshatra around noon and has entered the 15th tithi or phase of the waning cycle. Go slow, be intentional and listen to your depths. Sarpa, the occult and mystical serpent, can help us navigate our mental body with greater consciousness or greater illusion. Which do you choose? The Moon continues through Sarpa's nakshatra Friday morning and through the new Moon. New Moon is in its own sign of Cancer on August 14th at 07:53. The conjunction of Moon with Sun and debilitated Mars as well as retrograde Venus makes for a certain emotional body intensity. Our inner emotional tides may feel hot, agitated, fearful, driven- with a sense of challenge and conflict emerging. This theme continues for the waxing Moon cycle to come. Keep Kleenex handy and watch for sudden emotional outbursts. Are you taking out your need for safety and security on others? Or are you asking for support and resources that align with deeper nourishment? Go slow and take ample pauses to check your inner landscape. Do a four level check in for consistent tracking.

After noon on Friday, Moon hops into Leo and Magha nakshatra, joining another intense planetary combination. Jupiter and Mercury are in Leo as well and all receive gaze from Saturn, adding pressure and challenge, as well as the need for structure and containment. What can you let go of, release and purge on the mental and emotional bodies? The baggage you're carrying around is really heavy. The ruling planet of Leo, Sun, is now at the edge of Cancer, preparing to make the leap into its own sign. Slow and steady with your heart for now. Saturday continues with Magha and its ruling deity, Pitr, offering ancestral focus. So much of this time period right now is connected to our personal mythology, our ancestral and familial lineage patterns. Are you noticing how your insecurities and anxieties are directly connected to your family wounds? The worry is not helping. Are you ready to change these old paradigms once and for all? I'm here to support your process. Late afternoon, Moon shifts into the fertile and seductive star of Purvaphalguni. Sun and Venus are in exact conjunction right now. The heat is on! You may feel out of control, intense passion and be exta feisty. Bees are buzzing around you. Can you feel your shakti increasing or getting scorched? Watch for relationships snares. The traps have been set in advance. I'm offering a *free* new Moon Creative Ritual class on Sunday the 16th. Increase creativity and your sense of thriving. Are you on the list? The creative intensity continues on Sunday as the Moon slowly waxes. Find ways to channel your creative life force energy in constructive and healing ways. It's time to make some art and get your passion moving! Are you listening to your heart's demands? Early evening, Moon shifts to the latter half of the Phalguni constellation, UttaraPhalguni, which is ruled by the Sun and Aryaman. Take actions that support sustainability and long-term nourishment. As Sun inches to the edge of Cancer it prepares us to soften into our heart wisdom and listen carefully. What messages do you hear? Just before midnight on the 16th at 23:30, Sun leaps to its own sign, Leo, joining Jupiter, Mercury and Moon here. Saturn gives his gaze from Scorpio. This transit lasts until September 16th. For many this is a powerful month long transit that can help us move mountains, feel increased strength, help us be seen and noticed for our passion, power and drive. Working with ego, accomplishment and over-drive are warranted messages as well. Some will feel extremely challenged by the increased energy and vitality in the environment. Power issues and power struggles may feel overwhelming. Make strides with your personal development work and your outer offerings. Work with challenge honestly and confront the struggles with openness and compassion. Put your best foot forward and stand in your power. Ask for what you want and move towards your deepest desires. If you are seeking greater alignment with dharma, life purpose and your path of nourishment, it's time to take bold strides in this direction. Make hay while the Sun shines!! Dig deep to harvest your inner riches and don't waste time. Simultaneously, Mars continues its debilitation and Venus retrogrades. Pushing too hard will be counter-productive and damaging. Work with the messages that show promise and give support. Move towards greater alignment and focus. Set your intentions, make them radically clear and go for the gold. Above all, harness your inner riches and seek balance with inner and outer. *Pacific Time Zone is used for all planetary timing.

Land in your heart and trust your passion to guide you. A powerful week of new, as Jupiter moves to Leo and a new Moon occurs on Wednesday, followed by Sun moving into Cancer. Potential and possibility are available. Are you feeling the surge of power or crushed by uncertainty? Ride the waves. Monday begins with Moon in its exaltation sign while moving through Mrigashirsha nakshatra. Move towards the nectar and soak up the Soma. How can you create more nourishment in your life? In the afternoon, Moon shifts to Gemini, joining Sun, Mars and Mercury here as well. This air sign is ripe with connective power and possibility. Create, connect communicate. Expand your reach. As Tuesday arrives, Moon moves into Ardra nakshatra, joining Mercury and Mars in this intense star pattern. Three planets in Rudra's domain instigates a certain powerful response- especially in our emotional body. I call this the rock star nakshatra because it has the worldly potential of Rahu, mixed with the power of Rudra. Ardra can move mountains and sustain the energy necessary for the task! But at what costs? Be mindful of what emotions are possibly being cut out and pasted over. Listen to the wisdom of your inner currents to guide your needs. Wednesday brings big shifts and renewal, first with Moon moving to Punarvasu nakshatra in the wee hours of the morning- followed by Mars and then Mercury later in the day. New Moon, Wednesday, July 15th 20:24 CDT, while Moon is in Gemini and Punarvasu Nakshatra. A unique new Moon arrives on Wednesday with four planets transiting Gemini simultaneously. Jupiter has just freshly stepped into Leo for the next year and is deeply sandhi, at less than a degree. Read more about Jupiter in Leo and the year ahead. Change, momentum and release abound. With Moon, Sun, Mars and Mercury all in Punarvasu nakshatra at the new Moon, Aditi’s expansive awareness and gentle ways, bring a certain sensitivity. Sun and Moon are poised at the edge of Gemini and will both move to Cancer hours after the emptiness of the new Moon hits. The masculine and feminine energies within us reach for balance and alignment. Where can you create more inner and outer harmony? What needs to align for greater coherence within? Aditi is the Mother of all goodness in the Vedic tradition and she arrives to give us support, abundance and nourishment in life. Much like a generous and kind mother cares for her children, she helps us find equanimity within heart and mind, while reminding us of the unity in life. Her support comes in the form of resources so that challenges are softened or removed. Trust your steps and allow the grace of Aditi to provide for you at this time. How is her wisdom showing up in your life? Are you available to receive it? Moon moves to its own sign, Cancer, just before midnight. Always know what to expect from the Moon cycles and their wisdom. Get my 2015 Moon Wisdom Calendar. Thursday arrives with extra nourishment and heart wisdom available to us. Moon moves to Pushya nakshatra, Brihaspati's star. Awareness and knowledge are available today in ways that truly can provide greater wisdom and nourishment as a result. Ketu's drishti on the Moon insures that awakening will be sudden and bring sparks of insight. What do you need for increased comfort, security and stability in your life? Sun follows the Moon into Cancer at 15:08, instigating a new cycle with increased heart wisdom and emotional body awakening. The light comes to the heart, the home, land and experiences of mother. This is a powerful month of rooting into the heart and finding a sense of alignment with one's needs. Use your compassion, empathy and desire to nourish others, as a way to share, shine and be seen. Let relationships be resources to deepen your need for comfort and support. Lead with your heart in all matters and be sure to connect and co-create. Work diligently with harmonizing your masculine and feminine energies. The feminine wants to expand, move and flow continuously, while the masculine wants to contain and create support systems. How can you work with both very intentionally for maximum balance and alignment? Sun in Cancer can be a powerful cycle that provides new support. As we get used to Jupiter in the Sun's sign of Leo for the coming year, the solar energy in the heart-centered sign, Cancer, provides us with a chance for inner/outer balance. Auspicious timing in many ways that can truly help us navigate the masculine and feminine paradigm within us in more intentional ways. We must work with both of them consciously or we will be misaligned with our inner power and sense of self. Early morning Friday, Moon shifts to Ashlesha nakshatra and Sarpa influences the mental and emotional bodies directly. As the serpent of illusion and deception, he can cloud our ability to think clearly. Today, notice where you are fixed and too rigid. Where can you bring more flexibility and fluidity in? Self doubt, uncertainty and confusion need to be tamed with more grounding and landing in the physical body. Navigate relationships with tenderness and compassion. Saturday mid morning, Moon jumps to Leo, joining Jupiter and Venus here. All receive gaze from Saturn who always brings a sense of grief, contraction and structure with him. These three planets in Leo are all in Pitr's nakshatra, Magha, connected to the ancestors and our father's lineage. Track your emotional body today- especially in response to relationships. What parts of your personal mythology and family paradigm emerge within your emotional body today? How might you need to shift or change your actions for different results? Late morning Sunday, Moon arrives in Purvaphalguni nakshatra and the sensuality of Bhaga and Venus are instigated. Our emotional body will crave comforts and connection through relating and relationships. Let the heart be your guide and move towards the nourishment gained from love and loved ones. Track where you are craving attention and connection out of habit. Do your relationships truly serve your need for comfort and support, safety and security? Consciously make adjustments so that you are creating more inner support and stability, not less. Get some extra support and guidance for the Jupiter and Sun transits. Schedule a clarity session with me.

This Week's Intention: Notice your movements and choices. Watch, track and invite in awareness on the mental and emotional levels. Keep moving towards the nourishment of life. The week begins with a very inward feeling. Moon is in its final phase of the waning cycle and inviting us to introspect. Monday, Moon transits its exaltation sign, Taurus, with the fiery combination, Sun and Mars, and the mental body planet, Mercury. Feelings are intense, hot and passionate. The mind is stoked and forceful. With Saturn and Rahu giving their gaze, our mind and emotions get extra pressure and chaos. Creative forces are strong with Rohini nakshatra today, so channel the mental and emotional bodies intentionally. Sun jumps into Gemini mid morning, inviting in a new month of creative potential. Hours later, Mars chases the Sun into Gemini as well. Gemini represents the merging of energies, and the new, third energy that is created as a result. Metaphorically, this connects to the energy of lovers coming together, creating a "third energy" out of their unification. From an artistic perspective, Gemini can represent the artist and their medium, plus the arrival of a "third" energy- or the emerging transcendental experience. The creative energy of Gemini is unstoppable, changeable and always moving. In the coming cycle, merge and connect with new ideas and people, in order to deepen your nourishment, increase wealth and find new resources. How can you extend and expand your reach by joining forces in new ways? A certain dynamism charges us forward into this new cycle with relationships and communication being a primary source of desire. Feel, search, express- while flowing, expanding and creating new pathways. This Sun and Mars cycle will be a time of many new insights, ideas and a very strong imagination and it will give us the potential for new connections, collaborations and relationships. But in order to have space for new relationships, we must let go or loosen attachments to the old. Use writing, the hands, art and expression to get the job done. New Moon, Tuesday June 16 at 09:06 CDT while in Gemini and Mrigashirsha Nakshatra. During the New Moon, movement will be felt on the three levels of your being- mental, emotional and physical- which may invite in a sense of being pulled in too many directions. With three planets in Gemini, Sun, Moon and a sandhi Mars, all in Mrigashirsha nakshatra, a passion for change and growth will be intensifying in the upcoming waxing cycle. The new Moon is conjunct Mars and Sun- who have just arrived in this airy, creative sign known for connection and communication. As Mars and Sun chase each other into Gemini, this sparks a heat wave of creativity, communication and connectivity. Do you want more astrological details about the Moon and the coming waxing cycle?

Attend to inner nourishment and vitality. Create new pathways and channels for sharing, creating and moving forward. Early evening, Moon shifts to Ardra nakshatra and an abrupt shift occurs. Notice how Rudra's energy invites in a certain intensity. How can the nourishment of Soma from earlier in the day protect you and help you keep your balance? Moon continues through Ardra on Wednesday which invites us to listen carefully to Rudra's message. Moon in Gemini and Mercury in Taurus, offer a nice exchange between Taurus and Gemini today. Find ways to express and share in order to get more nourishment and support. Get focused and clear on what you want and need. Don't let the chaos interfere with finding nourishment and support. Notice how intense emotions pulls you off from your center and undermine your self power. Track yourself intentionally today on the mental, emotional and physical levels. Trust your steps and your purpose. Early evening Moon moves to Punarvasu nakshatra and Aditi arrives. See if you feel her wisdom coming through. Midday on Thursday, Moon shifts into its own sign, Cancer, joining exalted Jupiter and Venus here, while continuing to transit Punarvasu nakshatra. Aditi brings her expansive wisdom, a unity consciousness, a feeling of oneness with her. Move towards this oneness, the unified experience of life and self. Trust the holding, the containment of spirit, to guide and protect you. We are one with all, any separateness is an illusion. Where are you feeling separate? Where are you feeling whole? As Moon shifts to Pushya nakshatra early evening, a deepening sense of this holding can offer deeper support to us. Friday is a day of nourishment, if we allow it in. As Moon moves closer to Venus today, our feeling and emotions deepen. What is underneath the waves? What is the emotional body sharing with you about support and stability? Find your rhythm with opening and closing, yes and no, as well as healthy boundaries. Balance comes when we unite the expansive and contractive energies within us. What are you opening to? What are you closing to? As evening approaches, the Moon moves to Ashlesha nakshatra, conjunct Venus and Jupiter. Ketu's drishti can bring flashes of insight and awareness. Can you catch the sparks? Themes of Balance continue during Saturday, the day dedicated to Saturn's energy. Find ways to expand, flow and invite in more ease and grace today. The breath is a perfect metaphor of opening and closing, and the continuous flow of life that it offers. Tame the unruly mind today with consistent attention to its imaginal ways. How can its stories prove to be valuable resources for unlocking your subconscious messages and programing? Get curious and ask the right questions. Ask the mental body what it wants and needs. Just before midnight, Moon leaps to Leo and Magha nakshatra. Sunday is perfect day for celebrating the father's in our lives as well as the solar qualities! Moon transits Leo (ruled by Sun) on a Sunday in the nakshatra of Magha which is dedicated to our ancestors and typically the father's side of our lineage. Saturn's drishti on the Moon shares a contractive feeling and can remind us of grievances and pains. Keep it on the sunny side while attending to any depth and sadness that arrives on the emotional body. Notice how the balancing factors of open and close from the previous days can help support this process. Summer Solstice is June 21st. This marks the beginning of summer in the Northern hemisphere, as well as the longest day of light in the year. Monday arrives with creative life force energy activated! Let the shakti stir you and expand your vision! Do you want more astrological details about the Moon and the coming waxing cycle?

This fullness will carry us through the week. Keep your focus on what you are filling your container with as the Moon empties over the coming days. Monday, January 5th Today’s Intention: Think big! If you can dream it, you can create it. Moon transits Gemini and Punarvasu Nakshatra and still is very full. It moves into the first tithi, beginning the waning process, yet is still brimming with light and a sense of wholeness. As Moon shifts into its own sign of Cancer later in the day, a new sense of wholeness is exemplified. The creativity and connectivity of Gemini transitions into an emotional body centered awareness that carries us through tomorrow. The ruling deity of Punarvasu is Aditi, who offers us expansive qualities in order to enlarge our capacity to hold wisdom and enlarge our container. Let her softness, her nurturing, and her unity consciousness offer gifts as you keep your focus on filling yourself with nourishment. With Mars newly in Aquarius, a Saturn ruled air sign, we get an intense focus on ingenuity and innovation. Let this placement help you in the coming weeks create new and improved containers of nourishment for your self. If you need something different, now is the time to dream and scheme and put your desires into action. Think outside the box, but don’t forget to implement your efforts with strong, clear action steps. Moon shifts into its own sign, Cancer, at 17:24 CST, and our focus moves from mental body to emotional body. Use this time to get heart centered as the chest and ribcase, the heart and fourth chakra, are the ultimate container of life. Moon moves into Pushya nakshatra at 23:55 CST. Tuesday, January 6th Today’s Intention: Open up your channels and direct the flow. Moon transits its own sign, Cancer, with retrograde Jupiter, while in Pushya nakshatra. Moon and Jupiter receive direct gaze (drishti) from the highly creative planets, Mercury and Venus, who are now transiting Capricorn. They also receive gaze from Ketu, the planet of illumination and restructuring. Today brings a sense of heightened pressure and intensity, and yet the underlying sense is one of comfort and support. Allow the pressure to magnify what you need on a very fundamental level. Let yourself be cracked open so that the light can enter through these cracks. This is where you can access a new sense of depth and awakening. Be creative and invite in ingenuity. This is a time of radical change and finding new options and solutions for our greatest needs. Get open to receive, though it will likely come from some inner pressure. Venus moves into Sravana nakshatra at 14:28 CST and Vishnu begins to help us with our expansion process and our dharmic alignment. It will be through creativity, however, that we can maximize this expansion process. Be intentional with your creativity, the creative flow, and your attention to your inner power. Shakti begins to flow more rapidly now, but only if your channels are open. Work with my Creative Rituals and get embodied. Wednesday, January 7th Today’s Intention: Don’t get lost in your illusions and don’t forget to look in the mirror. Moon shifts into Ashlesha nakshatra at 02:15 am CST, and becomes closely conjunct Jupiter also in Ashlesha. This is a lunar star that is ruled by Mercury and Sarpa, a small snake associated with shadows and illusions. Our focus for today should be on expansion, but at what cost? Be cognizant of over drive and over doing it. Bringing awareness to your motivation can go a long way in helping you expand consciousness around your needs. What is the underlying need with your expansion desires? What needs are not currently being met? Let these answers point the way to what types of nourishment you need to feed yourself with. Be aware that the mental body and its illusions will be running the show. Illusions or imagination? Allow the imagination to assist your creation process but don't get lost in them. As Mercury moves into Sravana today at 11:34 am CST, the themes of expansion are intensified and heightened within the mental body. Both Venus and Mercury are in Vishnu's domain now. Mercury stays in Sravana for an extended period of time as he continues to move through this nakshtra, then retrogrades on January 21st, moving in reverse, back through this lunar constellation. Even after he goes direct on February 11th, we will experience Mercury briefly jumping back into Sravana on his way back through Capricorn. This cycle brings an opportunity for us to work for our dreams, our goals, and our desires in a very strategic and constructive way. It will take effort for us to expand, but it will be worth the effort we put in. Don’t neglect the intensity level, as Rahu will be giving his gaze to Mercury all the while. We may find ourselves pushing way too hard, over working and over achieving. The trick will be to expand, while maintaining a graceful balance with our physical body needs, in order to keep the mental body and emotional bodies more balanced and harmonious. If you can do it right now, you can do it in the future. Thursday, January 8th Today’s Intention: Ask the ancestors and ye shall receive. Moon jumps into Leo and Magha nakshatra at 04:57 am CST, igniting Sun energy and the sparks of Ketu. Magha is fierce and severe and ruled by Pitr, a nakshatra that expresses itself through the ancestors, lineage matters and especially the father. This is a day ruled over by masculine energy so use the power and force diligently and consciously. Channel the energy and power of the day in a way that allows you to get the biggest bang for your buck. Maximize by channeling your actions intentionally. Clean, purify and clarify. Ask the ancestors to support your efforts. Friday, January 9th Today’s Intention: Let your shakti out! Moon moves to Purvaphalguni nakshatra at 07:57 am CST, and creative fertility is unleashed. Let in the power of your creative energy today and turn up the dial so you can truly feel the effects. Working directly with my creative rituals- which bridge both art, creativity and embodiment- will help you maximize your efforts, and open your creation channels. The more open your creative channels, the more you can increase your manifestation capabilities. Very small channels, will offer very little results. The Phalguni stars are highly fertile, which allows for seeds to be planted for a very rich harvest. Work intentionally with your goals and aspirations and don’t neglect your powerful creation abilities. My Essentials of Manifestation Workshop is now available on my website, which is an ideal resource for making your 2015 truly amazing. With Mars and Saturn giving their gaze directly to the Moon in Leo over the next few days, we get a strong stop and go experience. We will feel big yes’s and big no’s. Pay attention to what is working and what is not. Wherever Saturn says “no”, you need to surrender more deeply and create a stronger container for holding. However, this Saturn Mars combination can also offer us very structured and powerful steps forward if we work with this energy effectively. Only put energy into the most vital needs right now. Don't get scattered. Saturday, January 10th Today’s Intention: Branch out and grow. Reach towards your own sweet nectar. Moon shifts into the latter half of Phalguni, Uttaraphalguni nakshatra, at 11:04 am CST. This star is ruled by Aryaman and the Sun. Sun is currently transiting a nakshatra ruled by Venus and the Water Goddess, Apas, which heightens the creativity of the Sun right now. There is an increased potency today with all things creative, all things love, and all relationship matters. Let fluidity and flow be a primary resource for you and try to keep this theme alive today in mental, emotional and physical bodies. The symbol of the Phalguni stars is a fig tree. Purvaphalguni is the young tree, while Uttaraphalguni is symbolized by an older fig tree. This symbolizes the growth, fertility and ripeness of each star at different phases of life. Figs are known for their sweetness and their aphrodisiac qualities. They nourish and balance with their inner nectar. This is the nature of the Phalguni stars. Use today for growth, sweetness, nourishment and fulfillment. Take necessary steps to create what you want to grow more of in your life. Moon jumps into Virgo at 17:51 CST, joining Rahu here and receives drishti from Ketu and Mars. Sunday, January 11th Today’s Intention: Keep on the sunny side of life. Sun shifts into UttaraAshada nakshatra at 01:03 am CST, inviting in the Vishvadevas assistance and support. They help us maintain our goodness, righteousness and keep us striving for self improvement. They keep us working towards honesty, truth and a noble character. Sun supports this process quite naturally which is why it rules over this nakshatra. We get a double dose of this illumination as Sun transits through the domain of this nakshtra in the coming weeks. Moon moves to Hasta nakshatra at 14:08 and Savitr enters with his dawning of light and awareness. Today, find ways to let the light enter. We may find it extra challenging, but remember that where the heat and intensity are, these are the places that need your diligent attention and intention. Use your a three level check in to help you identify your needs, then give yourself exactly what you need through self care nourishment. Recite Gayatri Mantra to assist you with lighting your inner lamp. Monday, January 12th Moon continues to transit Hasta nakshatra until 16:54 CST and then moves into Chitra, having crossed directly over Rahu. Work diligently with your shadows today and don’t let them get away with their mayhem. Need some extra guidance and clarity? Schedule a session with me.
