Monday arrives with creative life force energy activated. Moon is waxing and transits the powerful sign of Leo, while in Purvaphalguni nakshatra. He receives the gaze of Saturn, which increases sadness, grief and the need for physical movement. Read more about the ruler of Leo, the powerful and dynamic Sun. Let the shakti stir you and expand your vision! Lord of this nakshatra, Bhaga, helps us connect, create and deepen relationships through the senses. Watch for emotional heat and passion. Is that anger and unresolved tension? Track yourself and notice what you may have left unspoken. Attend to this need to express, but do so creatively. How are your needs connected to comfort and support? Early Tuesday morning, Moon shifts into the latter half of the Phalguni stars, Uttaraphalguni. Passions continue to stir, but the focus shifts to heated words, rather than feelings. Mind your manners so you don't say something you'll regret. How can you express yourself through movement, art and creativity, rather than explosive language? Express your power thoughtfully and let it help you move some mountains. Leo continues to be a strong focus for us in the coming months ahead. Read more about Jupiter's transit through Leo starting July 14th. Midday, Moon shifts to Virgo, joining Rahu here. Mars and Ketu offer their gaze. Emotions are heated, thinking may be unclear. Surrender to the pressure and let it release in healthy ways. Wednesday, day of Mercury, gives us a Moon in Virgo, Mercury's sign of exaltation. The conjunction of Rahu and gaze from Mars and Ketu, provide a fiery mix of mind and emotions for us to navigate. Moon shifts to Hasta nakshatra mid morning, moving closer to Rahu. Savitr, the god of the dawn and inner awakening, helps us gain more sight and vision. Use challenges and obstacles for increased awareness. What can your emotions share with you about getting extra support right now? How can you ask for your needs to be met in a clearer way? It's time to get creative, stay flexible and stay out of perfectionism. Surrender. Late morning on Thursday, Moon changes to Chitra nakshatra and action steps become important with Vishvakarma's support. Strength as well as intensity bring certain momentum to the day. Tensions, emotions, challenges and confrontations are also likely. What needs to shift in order for release and growth? What are you resisting and how is this increasing the pressure? Find ways to ease the pressure and let go. Just before midnight, Moon changes signs, entering Libra. Sleep well and take time to relax. The major year-long transit of Jupiter is happening July 14th. The effects are already occurring. Schedule a one-on-one session with me to prepare for these changes. Session Details. On Friday, Moon transits Libra without the gaze of other planets. Balance is important today. Harmonize inner and outer needs. Feelings are intense right now. Around noon, the Moon moves to Swati nakshatra and swiftness, movement and change effects the day. Vayu, the wind god helps us take swift, bold action steps. If you feel that change is necessary, make it happen today. Mid afternoon on Saturday, the Moon moves to Vishaka nakshatra. Feelings are strong today and confusion may increase the intensity of emotion. Seek alliances, get support and find ways to be of service right now. Ruling deities, Indra and Agni, remind us that two heads are better than one. Reach out and connect with others. Ask and it can be given. Sunday, late morning, Moon arrives in Scorpio, joining Saturn here. Both planets receive gaze from Jupiter, Ketu and Mercury- an interesting combination for the mental and emotional bodies. Navigate confusion and sudden changes with slow steps and pauses. Late afternoon, Moon moves into Anuradha nakshatra. Mitra, the friend, rules this constellation, sharing his need for details and specificity. As Moon conjuncts Saturn exactly today, pressures may be felt emotionally. Can you get out of the details and let go of outcome? Trust the momentum of your step by step actions. Take these methodical, timely steps into Monday and find your ground.

This Week's Intention: Turn your attention inward and find the gems you seek within. Monday begins with a ripe Moon perched at the edge of Libra and shifts into its debilitation sign, Scorpio, just after midnight. Moon transits Vishaka nakshatra, the two branches, symbolizing a gateway of triumph. This dual ruled nakshatra contains the wisdom of Indra and Agni, who offers success through collaboration and co-creation. Two heads are better than one. Use this metaphor to find greater support today. As Moon shifts into Anuradha nakshatra late morning, this theme continues to emerge with the "friendly star." Ruling deity, Mitra, can bring us connections and support through friendships and alliances. We may also feel challenges from the same as Moon conjuncts contractive Saturn as well. Sensitivity abounds! And though the Moon is almost full, it's actually a very tender, inward Moon which invokes self care and attention to vulnerability. Tuesday ushers in a full Moon at 09:18 PDT while Moon is in Scorpio and Jyestha Nakshatra. Jyestha nakshatra is ruled by Indra, the king of the gods. He is responsible for releasing the water from the clouds, allowing it to rain, often using his weapon of choice, the thunderbolt. Indra rules our senses and reminds us to use discernment with them, rather than being ruled by all of our urges and desires. Much like the clouds, our tears are released and are a cleansing offering of Indra as well. Scorpio is the Moon's debilitation sign and because Moon will also be conjunct retrograde Saturn at the time of the full Moon, themes for the coming cycle invite certain pressures- which can intensify the emotional body effects we experience. This combination however will provide deep release, like a valve that needs to be opened, inviting in a sense of letting go and waves of grief to surface. As the Moon begins to wane on Tuesday, our reflection continues to turn inward and reminders, imagery and ideas from the past resurface. What pieces need to be responded to? Which ones need to be released? Do you want more astrological details about the new Moon and the coming cycle? Use my 2015 Moon Wisdom Calendar to learn more about the cosmic themes. Learn More. Moon jumps to Sagittarius and Mula nakshatra early Wednesday morning, inviting in Nirriti's chaos and calamity. She helps us become unbounded, to release where we are holding on too tightly. Expect the unexpected with the dark goddess emerging today. Sudden, unexpected shifts arrive. Where are we holding on when we should be letting go? What space can we create with a deeper release? Today is well suited to gentle cleansing, releasing and rejuvenation practices. Rest, restore and relax but don't push or force actions and outcomes. Thursday morning Moon shifts into PurvAshada nakshatra, inviting Apas to rule over the day. As the water goddess, she provides purification, as well as deep feelings and continuous movement. Mars gives his drishti to the Moon today, offering both fierce anger and passion, while simultaneously giving us an opportunity for deeper connection to MA if we listen carefully. There is a certain sensitivity today and deep feelings are available to us. How do these feelings move you and stir you to respond? Thursday is the last chance to join my Jyotish Basics Classes for June! The focus of the month is Money and Wealth. Ready to increase your financial stability and change your relationship with money? Join me for classes. Moon dips into the latter half of the Ashada constellation, UttarAshada, Friday morning and the Vishva Devas are enlivened. The symbol of this nakshatra is an elephant tusk which denotes a certain connection to Ganesha, the remover of obstacles. This is a softer, gentler star than PurvAshada, and its aim is for support and assistance. Where can you allow more support into your life? How does it show up? As Moon shifts into Capricorn midday, he moves to Saturn's sign and receives his drishti as well. Rahu, Jupiter and Venus also give their gaze, providing increases, changes, expansion and contraction. Can you go with the flow? Early Saturday morning, Moon moves into Sravana, Vishnu's territory. Vishnu is intimately connected to hearing and the transmission of information, especially the sacred variety. Like akasha, space, he is everywhere. What are you expanding towards today? The wisdom you seek is seeking you. Soak it up. As Sunday begins, Moon moves to Dhanishta nakshatra and the Vasu Devas are enlivened. These Devatas help us find the rhythm of life, our own beat. The symbol here is a drum, which physically connects us to the pulse, the heartbeat within us as well as the pulse of life. What beat are you hearing and connecting to? How are you connecting to the pulse of life today? Moon shifts to Aquarius late afternoon, a Saturn ruled sign, but out of the gaze of the other planets. Let yourself dance to your own rhythm, your own beat. Monday begins with Moon shifting into Satabisha nakshatra, Varuna's domain. His symbol is an empty circle and he is connected to restraint. Varuna brings strong resistance at times but may be helpful with creating healthy boundaries. Are you resisting or avoiding? Are you conscious of this or pushing vital nourishment away? *Time zone used for calculations is in Pacific Daylight Time unless otherwise noted.

Late in the week the Sun moves into Aquarius, bringing shifts in energy, and the insistence of innovation and resourcefulness. Mercury's direct motion helps us make forward leaps with communication and networking matters.
Monday, February 9th Today's Intention: Walking leads to leaping. Make your steps count. Moon transits Chitra nakshatra, and the divine architect, Vishva Karma burst into our day with a take charge energy. Suddenly action steps appear and we are building our staircase to heaven! Today, necessary action steps are clear, focused, more refined. Get stepping and take strong, bold actions in order for more powerful outcomes. Moon separates from Rahu and shifts into Libra at 11:17 am PST, moving our emotional bodies away from the shadows of discontent and into a sign that often challenges us with confusion. The ruling planet of Chitra, Mars, moves to the edge of Aquarius and makes our movements, power and force softer, less stable. You may question yourself, but pick a side, make a choice and take action regardless. Keep one foot firmly rooted, while the other prepares to take the necessary step forward. Take this intention into your week. Tuesday, February 10th Today's Intention: Courage dear heart, courage. And a bit of tenacity. Just after midnight Pacific time, Moon shifts into Swati nakshatra and Vayu, the wind god, breezes in. Expect high winds today, inside and out. Use these winds to gain momentum, to increase your strength, stamina and movement forward. Do not let them scatter you or your energy. With Mars sandhi, at the edge of Aquarius, we may misuse our action steps today. Ambivalence and uncertainty may arise or overtly aggressive tendencies and misuse of our warrior energy. Plan accordingly as relationships, our interactions, are vulnerable, and this will effect our emotional body experiences. Tap into your feelings and ask the right questions before the emotional body gets triggered. Today, get moving- boldly and swiftly. Wednesday, February 11th Today's Intention: Expand and connect. Interrelate and introspect. Move in a forward direction. Moon moves to the latter half of Libra, and enters Vishaka nakshatra at 02:34 am PST. Indragni, the dual god, reminds us to co-create, collaborate and make meaningful synergistic connection. It's our ability to work together and be resilient, while also relying on others, that makes the world go round. We need hierarchy, and can't go without some sense of order. Indra is the king, while Agni is the priest. Both require each other for sustainability, for growth and transformation. We may feel challenged by this necessity for relationship today. We may feel resentful of it. Some may feel an increase passion and desire instead. Others will have confusion around their roles in relationship. As Moon shifts into Scorpio at 21:39 PST, the emotional aspects of this experience set in and may turn into waves of sadness, depression or rage, or perhaps just a release of these old feelings. Self track and take note. What is underneath the emotion? What is the true need? Mercury goes direct at 06:54 am PST while in UttaraAshada nakshatra. This is a Sun ruled nakshatra and the Sun is now sandhi, at the edge of Capricorn where Mercury is now. Are your mental wires fried? Are you feeling frazzled? Stick to routine and maintain a balanced structure as much as possible right now. Following the ways of Saturn and his mandates will get you far. Attending to your physical body needs will support and assist you with your mental body. In the coming days, we will feel a bit more support from the VishvaDevas, the Laws of Nature, now that Mercury is moving forward, but let the Sun gets stronger first after he moves to Aquarius on the 13th. Late in the evening, Mars shifts into Pisces at 23:13 PST, joining Ketu here. Ketu acts like Mars and both are hot, fiery, and spark heat. Pisces is a water sign, so we must attend to our inner water and our inner fire diligently in the coming weeks as fire and water don't mix well. Part of us will want to go with the flow, while the other part of us will be like a warrior pushing orders and agendas. This is a time for us to integrate these polarities within us. Ketu adds sharp, quick and sudden to the mix- like electric shocks and sudden sparks. If you begin to feel frazzled, your wires fried, this is your red light! Stop, slow down, find the water within you and increase more of the flow. Dancing with these two elements intentionally will help the awareness and integration process. Pay attention to how your physical, emotional and mental bodies are responding to fire and water within you. What do you need in order to find a more fluid life dance? This metaphor will be intensified as Venus moves to Pisces, its exaltation sign, and joins Mars and Ketu here on the 15th. All of my special new Moon and full Moon wisdom + Creative Rituals are now being offered in my 2015 Moon Wisdom calendar only. Those who purchase my calendar will get cosmic updates before it is released. This is the last week to pre-order at my $29.00 price. Pre-order here. Thursday, February 12th Today's Intention: Turning inward and asking the right questions, we find what we need. Moon transits its debilitation sign, Scorpio, with Saturn, and moves into Anuradha nakshatra at 03:54 am PST. Mitra, the ruling deity of Anuradha is ushered into our day with his ability to notice fine detail and to be nourished by these details. This is also called the "friendly star" because of Mitra's benevolent nature. He helps us connect and co-create through friends and helpful relationships. Moon debilitated will offer a softening of our emotional body today, meaning a more porous experience of our feeling body. This can deepen our intuition or make us an emotional mess. Always, we should be noticing what our needs are, what is the underlying nourishment we are seeking, in order to fully awaken the emotional body messages. Get embodied! Resourcing from the sensations of the body will help on every level and returning to the awareness of the breath. Jupiter's drishti on the Moon will help with your awareness process, so invite in some willingness. There is an interesting dance happening in the cosmos that brings up mental tension and the need to force action. Or conversely some may be feeling the mental tension of not taking effective action. This is a time to really focus on only the essentials. Get practical. Make a list of every thing that has to get done, that you want to get done, that needs to get done. Then circle the top five essentials for today. Do this every day and make these items your top priority. Action steps leads to relief. One step at a time. Sun shifts into Aquarius at 18:34 PST, joining Venus here. There will be an intensification and extra heat within our relationships, our creativity, and our inner waters until Venus shifts into Pisces on Sunday. Sun and Venus stir the pot, activate and charge our ability to relate to ourselves and others. It's important to be self tracking right now and take note of polarities coming up in our personal mythology. Strong binary thinking patterns may emerge, so be on top of it and catch yourself in the act. The extra charge in the next couple of days can be highly creative if channeled properly. Don't lose the flow! As Sun continues to travel through Aquarius until March 14th, it's a time to be very innovative, entrepreneurial and pioneering. Use the coming weeks to think outside the box, but more importantly, to step outside the box. Creativity will swell and carry you forward if you venture into new territory. Enjoy the tidal wave! Friday, January 13th Today's Intention: The mind is a powerful tool to use and to lose. Moon moves to Jyeshtha nakshatra at 04:26 am PST. Indra is welcomed into our day as ruling deity of this Mercurial nakshatra. The mind, the mental body, needs to be our focus today. Pay attention and track yourself. What are you noticing? What are you learning? Indra rules over our senses. When we keep vigilant awareness of our senses, we can become a master of our life. Let the senses rule you? You lose your intelligence, wisdom and life force. Look for flashes of insight and/or overwhelm today. Look for new ways of thinking and deepening your mental/emotional body awareness. Self track and use the 3 levels of awareness as a resource. Mars has just moved to Pisces and Sun has just moved to Aquarius. Both are still under two degrees today and considered sandhi (in the gap), as they arrive into their new homes. If action steps and your sense of self feel uncertain, weak or extra vulnerable today, this is why. Tend to your physical body, your movements, your breath. Ground the feelings and thoughts in physical body awareness. Saturday, February 14th Today's Intention: Get down to the essentials today. What are the necessities? At 04:07 am PST, Moon crosses the challenging junction between Scorpio (water) into Sagittarius (fire) and lands in Sagittarius and Mula nakshatra. This is a cutting, clearing and disruptive lunar constellation ruled by Nirrti, the goddess of adharma. She breaks and destroys, uproots and removes. You may feel you are re-tracing some very old steps today. Parts of yourself that have been unattended, are lingering and are effecting your emotional body. Tend to these pieces and notice if the letting go process is where the pain resides. What are you removing and letting go of right now? What do you need to let go of and remove in order to move forward? Venus moves to the edge of Aquarius and becomes sandhi, making love, connecting, relationships and creativity vulnerable and delicate. An interesting day for Valentines Day in the USA! Sunday, February 15th Today's Intention: Be a love warrior and march towards your own passion. Yesterday was the clearing, the cutting, the removing. Today is the emotional body response to this change, this inner shift. As Moon moves into PurvaAshada, the ruling deity Apas, reminds us to keep our inner waters moving. Keep the flow, large or small, but keep it moving. Apas is the water goddess and connects us to perspiration- when water and fire mix. This nakshatra reminds us that part of the purification process includes heat, intensity and discomfort at times. Water is a powerful force. Inner creativity is intensifying right now, challenging us to ask for what we truly want and need. Dive into these internal waters and explore your desires. Relationships will be offering the mirror. This is the last day to pre-order my 2015 Moon Wisdom Calendar at my $29.00 price. Pre-order here. All of my special new Moon and full Moon wisdom + Creative Rituals are now being offered in my 2015 Moon Wisdom calendar only. Those who purchase my calendar will get cosmic updates before it is released. This is the last few days to pre-order at my $29.00 price. Pre-order here. Venus shifts into Pisces at 16:22 PST, its sign of exaltation, and joins Mars and Ketu here. All three planets receive drishti from Rahu and Jupiter, which induces a wide angle lens on our love matters in the coming month. Passion is high, intensity is building and sudden awareness abounds. Simultaneously we will be hyper aware of where our love needs are not being met, where we need more support and nourishment. For those who are ready to make change, this will be a time to make shifts in relationship structures. Use the discomfort to force the change. Others will just suffer and miss the messages, without taking action. I encourage you to use this as an opportunity for deeper heart centered awareness, to challenge your relationship paradigms, and to clean out your heart, your emotional body. What is love and what do you need to keep the love flowing? What do you need to keep the creativity flowing? What actions need to be taken in order to get the nourishment you need? Monday, February 16th Moon moves to UttaraAshada at 01:09 am PST and the Vishvadevas enter the day to support us with greater alignment and connection to the Laws of Nature. Rise, align and shine! The week begins with a waning Moon, and a sandhi Sun, just leaving Sagittarius. Mercury and Venus are in close conjunction in Capricorn, enticing us with immense creativity and increased creative flow. While Jupiter, Rahu and Saturn offer their drishti to these planets, intensifying our efforts of expansion, containment and focus. Monday, January 12th Today's intention: The light increases with your conscious, constructive efforts. Moon transits Virgo and Hasta nakshatra, letting in the light of Savitr as the week begins. Once Moon shifts into Chitra nakshatra at 16:55 CST, Vishvakarma enters with his agenda, plans and creative aspirations. Moon and Rahu in Virgo receive drishti from Mars, intensifying action steps. Moon is in close conjunction with Rahu today which brings a shadow effect to our emotional body. Increased desire, worldly pleasures and increased appetite for life is likely. These are worthy desires, just make sure the cravings are balanced. Mercury and Venus are in exact conjunct in Capricorn receiving drishti from Jupiter, Saturn, and Rahu which is increasing our creativity and desires for creating and expanding our life container. Sandhi Sun moves to the edge of Sagittarius today and will join Mercury and Venus early on Wednesday. Use today for connecting and creating, expanding and getting focused, for moving towards what you really want and need in your life. Tuesday, December 13th Today's Intention: Build your empire, brick by brick. Moon shifts into Libra at 06:06 am CST, while transiting Chitra nakshatra- ruled by Mars and Vishvakarma, the celestial architect. This dynamic duo assists us in action, planning, setting goals and enlivening our intentions. With effective action steps and the passion that is required to keep us motivated and inspired, we can create anything! Mars shifts out of Dhanishta and into Satabisha nakshatra until the end of the month, provoking a shift in our action steps and intentions. Ruled over by Varuna, this lunar mansion is oriented towards seeing, discovering, and awakening to our own truth. Varuna sees everything and is said to have a thousand eyes, therefor he can intensify the critic and judge within us. He is an Aditya (giving resources and offering support), yet he does it through structure and abiding by the Laws of Nature. It is very important to attend to health needs during Satabisha times as any disease that starts under this nakshatra is said to be incurable. Attend to what nourishes you, supports your vitality and there won't be any issues. But for now it is vital to be maintaining balance on the four levels of life- mental, emotional, physical and spiritual. Stay out of the overwhelm and step into harmony by syncing up with the Laws of Nature. Sun is at the edge of Sagittarius in deep sandhi. Extra care for the spiritual body is necessary right now. Use this time to tap into your deepest longings. To listen deeply to your inner wisdom. Re-visit your needs, your life purpose, the direction of your path. Moon moves into Swati nakshatra at 19:08 CST. Wednesday, January 14th Today's Intention: The winds of change are blowing. Remember to direct your sails. Moon transits Swati nakshatra today, creating a swiftness, a certain sense of movement and change. Vayu, the wind god, insures that change, movement and strength are enlivened. Wind has many purposes and can offer multiple resources to us; it can also scatter us, destroy us or force us to make change in direction. Vayu is a Rudra, meaning he has immense strength and power. Be intentional today with how you use the power and strength within you, how you direct your inner winds. Sun shifts into Capricorn at 07:35 am CST, joining Mercury and Venus here. These three planets all receive drishti from Saturn, Rahu and Jupiter. Let the illumination in and let it influence your creativity, your communications, your orientation towards expansion and awakening. There's a new structure being created for each of us right now, if we consciously and intentionally move forward. This is a time for expanding our life container. We do this with creativity, our creation process, that which is our birth right. Each one of us is here on the planet to create the life of our dreams, to manifest, to expand and grow what is possible for ourselves. Maximize this potential with intention, goals, clear action steps, and guidance and support. This is the winning combination. Be sure to check out my Essentials for Manifestation MP3 for assistance and support. Moon shifts into Vishaka at 20:38 CST. Thursday, January 15th Today's Intention: Stop, collaborate and listen. Moon transits Vishaka nakshatra, nearing the edge of Libra. Vishaka is ruled by the dual gods, Indra and Agni, which expresses the co-creation process; a "two is better than one" reality. Indra is the high king, where as Agni is the high priest. This collaboration is an essential relationship for ultimate progress. Both rely on each other, thus the relationship is symbiotic. Together, they can create ultimate transformation and change. What changes are you creating today? Get help and team up! Moon moves to Scorpio at 15:12 CST and then moves to Anuradha nakshatra at 21:17 CST. As Moon enters Scorpio, it joins Saturn here as well; both receive drishti from Jupiter and Ketu. Be mindful of the pause and remember your three level check-in in order to intentionally listen to your internal experiences. This is a time to dive deeply. Friday, January 16th Today's Intention: Thank your lucky stars, your friends, supporters and well wishers. Moon transits Anuradha nakshatra at 21:17 CST, a heightened sense of support from friends and allies is increased. Mitra, the ruling deity here, is the ruler of friendships as well as fine detail and precision. He also connects us to man made laws (not Nature's laws which are Varuna's domain). Man made laws insinuate a matter a fact experience of life. What you see is what you get. Treat others as you would like to be treated. Every action has a reaction. The planetary ruler, Saturn, suggests structure, timeliness, and the wisdom that comes with age as a means to help us learn the lessons of Mitra. He is an Aditya and therefor offers blessings and resources, but does so with restrictions and steadiness of our actions. The "friendly star" earns its title by bringing a certain softness and compassion when life can feel harsh. With Saturn's conjunction with the Moon and Jupiter and Ketu offering their gaze to this pair, we may feel a certain emotional body intensity. Depression, expansion and release are possible sensations. Pushing too hard and forcing your agenda must be surrendered today. You'll get a lot more done without the extra pressure! At 21:04 Moon shifts into Jyestha nakshatra, Indra's domain. Saturday, January 17th Today's Intention: Where there's a will, there's a way. Use your strong mind to get you there. Moon transits Jyestha nakshatra and thus Indra and Mercury share their power with us. Indra is the king of the devas (gods) and offers intense strength, while also expressing the sensitivity such strength requires. Indra rules the sensory organs, and a strong alliance with Indra invites us to have control over our senses. Controlling the senses can keep us from over-indulgence and getting pulled off our path. Yet too much control leads us to imbalance and another extreme. Individualized balance is the ultimate freedom. Protect, honor and support your senses by listening, taking time to honor your physical body intelligence. With Rahu, Saturn and Jupiter giving drishti to Mercury right now (who is also conjunct Sun and Venus) we need to temper cravings that originate in the mental body. Yet simultaneously, use this time to broaden and deepen your imagination, expand your container, and get clear and focused. Just don't get lost in the point or the infinity. Use the expansion and the contraction as a resource for creating a new sense of balance. Venus shifts into Dhanishta nakshatra today at 06:21 am CST, inviting in the prosperity and light of the Vasu devas. The combination of Venus and the Vasu's is sure to bring passion, creativity and many new possibilities in the coming weeks. Resource from your relationships, build creative alliances, take action steps that invite in your power, light and higher purpose. Aim high! Reach towards what you want and move away from what does not serve you, nourish you or create space for your light. Moon jumps into Sagittarius and Mula nakshatra at 20:03 CST, inviting in Nirrti, the dark goddess of disruption. Sunday, January 18th Today's Intention: Let the doors close behind you. Moon transits Mula nakshatra today, inviting in Nirrti's dark goddess ways. She disrupts, changes, re-structures and removes. She does so by uprooting us and digging up what we are ready to release, transform and shift. Often this is not a comfortable experience, but can be somewhat magical! Ask for the support and assistance you need for this removal process. Moon is in the 14th tithi today and deeply in the waning process. Allow the emptiness to be conscious for you and work intentionally with the letting go process today. As you invite in the release, cultivate presence and awareness of your emptiness. What are you releasing? Moon moves to PurvaAshada nakshatra at 18:20 CST, inviting in Apas, the water goddess. Monday, January 19th Today's Intention: Purify, cleanse and restore. As Moon continues to transit Sagittarius and PurvaAshada nakshatra, there is a deepening of release happening. Let the release come through purifying and cleansing practices, through ritual and sacred acts. Use water and the emotional body tides to inspiration the purification process. Be gentle and nourishing to yourself and others today. Do so by listening deeply to your emotional body wisdom. Moon enters the 15th tithi today, the final phase of the waning cycle. New Moon is on Wednesday the 20th at 07:14 am CST while in Capricorn and UttarAshada. This is a very powerful new Moon! More details to come.

Moon continues to wane this week, leading us into the depths of our silence, winter Solstice, and the new Moon- this Sunday on the 21st. The intensity from last week continues for us as the tricky gandanta between Scorpio and Sagittarius is still active, as well as Mula nakshatra- who brings uprooting, change, transformation and endings to us. The new Moon truly brings deep shifts- in order for a new year to be enlivened. Make this time truly intentional. Be sure you are on my newsletter list and following along with my Self Care Challenge this week, culminating with a special free class that will help you resource from your shadows, your depths.
Monday, December 15th Today's Intention: Turn shadow into light. Moon transits Virgo and moves from Uttaraphalguni into Hasta nakshatra at 06:11 am CST. Moon moves into close proximity with Rahu, also in Hasta right now. Hasta is ruled by Savitr and the Moon and brings awakenings to us through light. Savitr rules the first rays of dawn just as the light peeks above the horizon line; fresh light, the moment of awakening, the clarity and truth that arrives with this light. Step towards your light rays today, the shadows are right behind you, but you can dance with both. Sun, our light source, is perched at the edge of Scorpio, opening the challenging gandanta portal between water (Scorpio) and fire (Sagittarius). He makes the leap official at 20:49 CST, jumping into the fire and Mula nakshatra, nirrti's domain. This puts Sun, Mercury and Venus in the transformational nakshatra of Mula until tomorrow morning. Tonight is an intense one- of upheaval and change. If you are feeling unsteady, like your roots are being pulled up from your grounding source, this is why.

Tuesday, December 16th Today's Intention: Plan your life by sensing and feeling into what nourishes you. Moon is conjunct Rahu in the very early hours of the morning for the Central time zone. The shadows are influencing our emotional body and mental body right now and intensifying both our mind and emotions. This is a powerful time in general to look directly at your shadows and intentionally work with challenges, blockages, and the general intensity being shown to us. Use this time to uproot and transform your darkness and bring it to the light. As Moon shifts into Chitra nakshatra at 08:32 am CST, Moon begins to move away from tight conjunction with Rahu and we begin to feel a shift towards action steps, motivation and empowerment. This might show up as anger, rage and increased passion. Look for the message under the fire. Vishvakarma and Mars are the rulers of Chitra and as his name and planetary association suggests, he is a god of action, creation and also creativity. Increased flow and creativity may flood into us as the water planet Venus moves into PurvaAshada nakshatra at 07:56 am CST. This breaks up the congestion of three planets in Mula nakshatra, Nirrti's domain of uprooting, dishevelment and chaos. Venus's shift into PurvaAshada, invites in resources from Apas, the water goddess, which will help us purify and nourish more deeply at this time, while also inviting in a deepening of our senses and feelings. Let emotions flow, the the internal waters within you flow, and keep your inner tides moving. Use embodiment, dance, and the arts as your primary resources as these are ruled by Venus, and they can offer healing and transformation while keeping our internal waters flowing, during this time of shift and change. Moon moves into Libra at 21:28 CST. Wednesday, December 17th Today's Intention: Harness your inner winds, spread your wings and fly. Moon shifts into Swati nakshatra at 10:13 am CST, inviting in Vayu and Swati's planetary ruler, Rahu, to our day. Vayu is the wind god whose high winds bring movement, change, and strength. As one of the eight Vasudevas, Vayu brings illumination and resources to us. Today, look for your inner strength and use it as a powerful resource and reminder of what you are capable of.

This challenge culminates on the Solstice with a powerful online class: Resourcing From Your Shadows. Please join me! Thursday, December 18th Today's Intention: The support you need is already here. Are you allowing it into your life? Moon continues to transit Libra, but changes into Vishaka nakshatra at 11:09 am CST. The dual god force, Indragni and the planet Jupiter step into our day, enlivening a different kind of transformation and change for us. As this dual god expresses, two is better than one! The power and force of Indra, combines with the transformational abilities of Agni, and voila, a super force is created! This is a reminder to resource with co-creation, joining forces and being able to receive support from others. We are not in this life process alone! Transform, heal and shift the relationship you have with yourself, in order to invite in more nourishment from others. Friday, December 19th Today's Intention: "There is a voice that doesn't use words, listen." - Rumi The Moon continues to wane and enters the 13th tithi today. Emptiness is nearing. Moon shifts into Scorpio at 05:19 CST, exemplifying our approach into the darkness and emptiness of the final new Moon of the year while simultaneously being Winter Solstice. The rawness of our inner depths are here, palpable, and should be beckoning us inward. We must not neglect the darkness for the attraction of the light and we must not neglect our light for the compelling draw of the darkness. Rather, integration, union of seemingly opposing forces within us and around us, is the most worthy effort of all. Being able to dance with shadow and light is paramount. Join me for my free online class this Sunday, Resourcing From Your Shadow. Once Moon moves into Anuradha at 11:17 CST, we shift our attention to pieces of the whole. The merging quality of Vishaka transforms us and Anuradha invites in the finer details available to us once with merge, unify and coexist. Mitra, the ruler here, as well as Saturn, help us with structure, fine detail and putting pieces of the puzzle together; essentially, making meaning out of separateness. We do this with love, devotion and wisdom. Moon in Scorpio joins Saturn here and receives drishti from Jupiter and Ketu as well. Moon is in exact conjunction with Saturn around 15:00 CST. The effects on the Moon today offers us a combination of structure, wisdom and change simultaneously. Emotionally this may appear as depression, frustration or anger. Work with the underlying needs of your emotional body and seek the wisdom it is offering you. Don't bypass what arrives. Ground with a 3 level check in, and take this awareness into gentle movement. Get embodied through somatic wisdom. Self care is non-negotiable right now. Saturday, December 20th Today's Intention: Befriend your mind, trust your emotions, listen to your body, embrace spirit. Moon has passed over Saturn now and begins to separate from tight conjunction, but still transits Scorpio. Moon shifts into Jyeshtha nakshatra at 10:40 am CST, inviting in a full dose of Indra and his power. Jyeshta is ruled by the planet Mercury, expressing that our power is most potently rooted in the mind. Yet being able to harness this power is ultimately the source of our strength and abilities. Learning to harness the mental body, its stories, illusions and intelligence, is so vital for our well being. We can't bypass the gifts of the emotional and physical bodies, nor neglect their potency for our existence, though the mind will pull us out of our truest senses and feelings if it gets the chance! Indra reminds us that harnessing the mind, the mental body, and its faculties, provides us with the ultimate strength we need to overcome all challenges and illusions. Sunday, December 21st Today's Intention: Let go and let flow. Let go and let god. Moon is in the 15th tithi, the final phase of the waning cycle. The Moon is now making the tricky gandanta passage, crossing from Scorpio into Sagittarius. Venus, Mercury and Sun have already made this leap and jumped right into Mula, the domain of Nirrti- goddess of uprooting and all things adharmic, against dharma. Moon's passage into this junction point signals the final shift of this cycle, the final transformational piece we need in order to extract the dark nourishment of this time. Moon jumps into Sagittarius and Mula nakshatra at 09:26 am CST, joining Venus, Mercury and Sun there already. This puts three planets in Mula until Mercury shifts into PurvaAshada at 13:30 CST today. As Mercury makes this shift, we should begin to feel another level of nourishment arrive to us. This may come as open floodgates, moving internal waters, the creative flow moving within. The mental body may feel flooded with thoughts, ideas, images, imagination. Capture what you can, but let the rest flow out and through you. Use the coming weeks and days to capture the most potent and alive pieces moving through you, but keep the intention of nourishment, release and cleansing. The new Moon is at 19:36 CST with Moon in Sagittarius and Mula Nakshatra. It is the Winter Solstice, the darkest night of the year, when a natural turning inward, towards our depth and darkness, takes place. The need for this turning inward, touching the depth of our darkness, is as natural as turning towards the light. Nature reminds us with her cycles and rhythms, the potency, power and necessity of both light and dark, and our dance with both. This is an ideal time to be working very intentionally with our shadows, our own darkness. Please join me for my free online class this Sunday, Resourcing From Your Shadow.
