This is the last week my Moon Mind Calendar will be available without membership to my website. Membership to my site gives you access to my daily, weekly, monthly and annual calendars as well as transit reports, articles and more. Get the Details This Week's Intention: Find intelligent footsteps and track your progress. Land, ground and arrive within. Use self care as your starting point. All nourishment begins within. Let it begin to take root. The week begins with a waning Moon. Three planets have just changed signs. Mars has moved to Libra, Venus to Scorpio and Mercury is now in Capricorn. Gather your resources and attend to self care diligently this week. It's a potent gap for landing before Mercury and Jupiter go retrograde next week. Jupiter is at the very edge of Leo, sandhi. Rahu and Ketu prepare to leave Virgo and Pisces on the 30th of January. Changes are in the air. Find your grounding and inner support this week and walk softly. Monday begins with a waning Moon moving through the 4th tithi (Moon phase). Find ways to contain and hold yourself with comfort and support. As Moon continues through Cancer and Ashlesha nakshatra, Sarpa brings illusions and deception to the foreground. Are you stuck in the shadow? Where can you shine more light on your darkness? Your emotional body can give you the necessary messages for increasing the light within. It is your barometer for wellness, for how well your needs are being met. Where do you need more support, new resources, extra self care? What changes need to be made in order for your inner nourishment to increase? It's a time of change and making new choices in order for new and different results in the weeks and months to come. Start now. Just before midnight, the Moon jumps the tricky gap between Cancer (water) and Leo (fire), landing in fierce and mighty Magha nakshatra. Tuesday, Moon transits Leo and Magha nakshatra, the magnificent one, known for its regal nature and powerful authority. There is a strong connection to the ancestors here, especially the father's lineage. Pay attention to messages from spirit and make an intention of calling on the ancestors for support and guidance. Our power is supported by their wisdom and strength. Ask for their assistance. We do nothing alone. Saturn's drishti to the Moon gives some slowing effects, while also offering grief and depression as well as containment and structure. Attend to the emotional body with wisdom today. What is the need your emotional body is asking of you? Can you attend to your grief with diligence and intention? Just as Wednesday begins, Moon shifts to Purvaphalguni nakshatra, a fertile and creative star known for its excess of Shakti, life force energy. It is a star that notoriously attracts bees like honey and increases sensuality and sexual energy. The translation is the "earlier fig tree" which connects to its spring-like essence. There is a ripening, a certain juiciness today; the sap is running. How are you using this life force energy moving through you? Where do you channel it and let it flow? The body part connected to this nakshatra is the right hand, or the giving hand. Move your creative energy and turn it into an offering. Create clear and focused containment for your creative flow in order to maximize this energy and use it wisely. Mid morning Thursday, Moon shifts to the latter half of the Phalguni constellation, Uttaraphalguni. The translation of this star is the "later fig tree" which expresses the ripened fruits of a mature tree. There is a certain strength and wisdom that comes with a season of harvest- when the fruits have ripened and dropped. The sap has moved and created, allowing the wisdom to be used, integrated and absorbed. Uttaraphalguni connects us to the nourishment that sustains creativity, love and our life force energy. It is only through time, commitment and consistency that we get the benefits of these gifts. Make your efforts sustainable and find the rewards. What can you do today to help your success? Use effective action steps and keep your vision alive through trust, support and nurturing. The body part of this star is the left hand, assisting the act of receiving. Receive the wisdom of time and the many gifts it provides you with. Slow down and find your pause. Just before noon, Moon moves to Virgo, joining Rahu here. Moon and the north shadow node will be in tight conjunction until late evening. Confusion and uncertainty may arrive or big ideas and grande desires. Find the middle ground and stoke your flames, while making sure your footsteps are firmly rooted in the earth. Late morning Friday, Moon shifts to Hasta nakshatra and Savitr brings his dawning light. There's a certain sensitivity with this lunar constellation as it can feel and sense with absolute accuracy. The body part connected to this nakshatra are the fingers. The fingers are a main resource for sensation and sensory awareness for humans. The hands heal, create, touch, grasp and release. The fingers can move ample amounts of energy out and through them, being conduits of healing and creativity. What are you sensing? How are you using this input for creative activation? What are you creating? What are you grasping and holding onto? What are you releasing and letting go of? Let your inner wisdom be your guide. Land in your emotional body for active insights. As late Saturday morning arrives, Moon moves to Chitra nakshatra, the brilliant one. Symbolized by a shining jewel, this lunar constellation is notorious for creating, adorning and building beauty. Ruling deity Vishva Karma is an action oriented creator, called the divine architect. He is an Aditya, one who brings resources to us. As an incarnation of lord Brahma, his creative powers have potent manifestation abilities. Much creative activation can take place under this star pattern, so use it with conviction and let your desires be activated by your intentional action steps. Just before midnight, Moon moves to Libra, joining Mars here. Passions and anger are sparked. Use your fire with awareness. Sunday, Moon continues through Libra and Chitra nakshatra until Noon. The tight conjunction of Moon and Mars continues most of the day, even as Moon slips into Swati nakshatra. Passion and anger are closely connected. How are you channeling this energy? Do you use it for creating and activating your desires? Or do you use it to blow torch people and dump your emotions on them? Be mindful about your intensity today and use this energy with intention and purpose. Get a lot done, rather than channeling your frustrations on your relationships. Manage your shadow. What do you really need for support, nourishment and comfort? Get your needs met in healthy ways. Use self care to calm your inner winds. Change has blown in with a certain intensity today. Track Rudra's messages diligently. Monday, Moon continues through the swift and windy nakshatra, Swati. Vayu, the wind god is ruling deity, bringing change and movement with him. Swati translates as "the sword" since it is decisive, clear and action oriented. Early afternoon, Mars shifts to Swati nakshatra as well, intensifying the type of movement and strength available in the coming days. Force and momentum are stirring within. Where are you directing this energy? How can you use it for activation of desires, dharmic path and moving towards your purpose? Do you waste this energy? Is self-sabotage derailing you and keeping your energy small and fizzled out? Use healthy boundaries diligently and attend to self care with focus. Ride this wave responsibly and don't squander this momentum. Late afternoon, Moon moves to Vishaka nakshatra. You may be presented with options and opportunities, or you may suddenly realize you have more choices than you originally thought. Keep reaching and spreading your branches. *All timing is given in Pacific Standard Time Zone. Ready to make the New Year a powerful and potent year? Get some extra guidance and support from me.

This Week's Intention: Let your inner waters create and flow, move and transform. Find ways to land and ground, while reaching up and out- extending your reach. Seek harmony, integration and balance for your four bodies- physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. Moon is waning, Venus has just moved to its own sign, Libra, yet the tenacity of Mars and Rahu in Virgo continues. The Saturn, Sun and Mercury conjunction continues to play out until Saturday when Mercury shifts to Sagittarius. Movement, fluidity, creativity and relationships invite in change and transformation. Monday begins with themes of balance and harmony as Moon moves through Pushya nakshatra. Venus is weak and vulnerable in degrees so tend to the relationship with self and others cautiously. After noon, Moon shifts to Ashlesha nakshatra and inner illusions amplify. Use resources and tools to work directly with the mental and emotional bodies. Consciously work with shadows and the critical mind. Drop into your heart and notice where you are stuck in judgement and critical thought. Deepen compassion for self and others. Tuesday begins with Moon still moving through its own sign, Cancer, while in Ashlesha nakshatra. Sarpa continues to manipulate the mental body and calls for increased awareness with matters of the mind. Mid afternoon, Moon leaps into Leo and lands in Magha nakshatra. Power, ego and force increase as well as ancestral matters. Ask for guidance and support. Venus begins to strengthen in Libra which helps to soften judgement, rigidity and self-righteousness. Notice where mental tenacity is over powering you. How can you release the mind and land in your body? Meditate and find time to be in nature. Moon continues through Magha on Wednesday. Let spiritual resources provide extra support and ask the ancestors to help you with your needs and desires. Land back in your power and notice resources that help you bolster your sense of self and well being. Early evening, Moon shifts to the Phalguni constellation, landing in Purvaphalguni. Increased potency, life force energy and creative forces begin to flow. What relationships are nourishing you? What relationships need to be released? How can your creative life force energy help you increase resiliency and inner strength? Thursday continues with Moon moving through Purvaphalguni nakshatra. Resource yourself with joy, connection, relationships, sensuality and artistry. Let this be the balm that heals your heart and helps you land in your power and purpose. Seek nourishment and stability, balance and integration. Where does the critic keep you from getting your needs met? How do rigidity and resistance keep you stuck, constricted and in constant conflict with yourself and others? Moon shifts to the latter half of the Phalguni constellation later in the evening. As Moon arrives in Uttarphalguni, it conjuncts Jupiter exactly. Swells and increases are to be expected on the emotional and spiritual body levels. Watch the critic actively and gather resources from its precision. Where does it support you? Where does it keep you from your power? Just as Friday morning begins, the Moon shifts to Virgo, joining Rahu and Mars here. Shadows and illusions intensify today, helping us to identify inner challenges. Look for resources within the rubble. The critic continues to be a central focus, inviting us to look at parts of ourselves that we may not like or have pushed away unconsciously. Do you lash out at others? Play the victim? Keep giving your power away? Use anger and resentment to vindicate others? Notice where you need more light and life. Where are you hurting yourself with rigidity and righteousness? Just before midnight, Moon shifts to Hasta nakshatra. Let the light in and make room for the dawn to arrive. Where are you shining your light? Saturday Moon continues through Hasta nakshatra. Savitr brings increased light and awareness but it may come through challenges, obstacles, pains and suffering instead. These are the places you need to be cracked open, places within that need more light. The pain forces us to put our attention here and notice what isn't working. From here, gather resources, support, guidance and wisdom to transform and heal. Mercury moves to Sagittarius on December 5th at 22:16 PST, leaving the conjunction of Saturn and Sun in Scorpio behind. This eases the mental body pressures on multiple levels and gets the mind out of the dark depths of our subconscious. Mercury in Sagittarius offers spiritual support and transformation for our mental body blockages. This may feel like a welcomed relief after the many months of intensity and identifying deep, dark inner challenges and blockages. Certain challenges will continue for the mind in this cycle to come if you resist surrender and awakening to your deeper purpose and meaning. If you force outcomes or objectives, there will be intensification. When ego gets in the way of your awakening process, there will be frustrations, obstacles and excess inner heat. Notice when the fire is scorching you. Where can you let go and let spirit guide you? Creativity is at an all time high, with maximum flow and fluidity moving through the hands. Intentionally channel this creative life force energy through the arts, music, writing and co-creation. Courageously step into community, relationship and support systems that nourish and increase a sense of safety and support within. Seek balance with inner and outer and express your needs clearly. Self care and deep inner nourishment are essential at this time. Be mindful of what you put into your body and what comes out of it- through words, actions, expression, etc. What relationships and environments feel nourishing? Which ones do not? Get clear on what works for your mind, body, heart and spirit. Remove and let go of all that is draining you, making you feel heavy. Find healthy boundaries within your life. Simplify the heart and home. Clear away old karmic patterns. Where is the ego resisting and holding you back? How is the mental body ruling your life and choices? Orient yourself towards feelings and sensations. Let this honest wisdom determine your choices and actions. This is a time of creating radical inner and outer balance. Be courageous with your intentions. Gather support, guidance, knowledge and wisdom to assist your efforts. Above all, land in your gut and let your core values determine what you need. Ask your ancestors, father, gurus and guides for extra support. Let spirit into your life in new ways. Spread your wings, extend your reach and find new flight patterns. Moon moves to the final nakshatra of Virgo, Chitra, just as Sunday morning begins. This nakshatra provides momentum, action steps and the ability to build. Use your light and awareness to visualize your dreams, goals and desires. Then take an action step that supports these visions materializing. Moon shifts to Libra late afternoon, joining Venus here. There is sensitivity, as well as grace, fluidity and artistry enlivened in the coming days. Channel this effectively through the arts. Let the pelvis be a stabilizing force for you- a way to help you land and ground. Midmorning Monday, Moon moves to Swati nakshatra and joins Venus in exact conjunction. Inner and outer winds intensify. What direction are you moving? Can you stay grounded even in the midst of these strong winds? Creative flow is increasing. Catch the wave with intention and harness the creative powers within. *All timing is given in Pacific Standard Time Zone.

The mental body shifts and an increased capacity to connect to spirit arrives. Use challenges as reminders to make necessary changes. On November 29th at 17:56 PST, Venus makes the leap into its own sign, leaving the challenges of its debilitation behind. Many will feel the relief arriving in the coming days as relationships, money, creativity, life force and health find more stability and harmony. There is still much in the transits that can challenge this stability, but the natural flowing tendencies of Venus in its own sign can help us increase fluidity, love and joy. This increase of vitality is determined by your inner work. It's a time to be radical in your self development, not hide behind false comforts and illusions of safety. Though Venus is in a more harmonious sign, it is still flanked on two sides by challenging planetary conjunctions. Mars and Rahu in Virgo, as well as Saturn, Sun and Mercury in Scorpio. Venus will feel hemmed in and perhaps cornered. This may result in feeling stuck, resistant, attacked, manipulated, challenged or confronted by obstacles on the path. These themes will be especially relevant for issues that involve all Venusian things- commodities like jewelry and cars, relationships and romance, artistry and creativity, money and finances, health and vitality, as well as all things pertaining to women's issues and the feminine. It's vital that these challenges be used as resources for personal and interpersonal transformation and healing. This Venus cycle is all about creativity and connectivity, helping us find new pathways of nourishment and vitality, potency and power. It will require radical heart chakra work and re-patterning blockages, resistance and refusal to be nourished. Attending to your inner and outer malnourishment is vital. Where are you starving yourself? Filling up on empty calories in your life? Pretending and wearing old masks? Upholding illusions and false identities? Use challenges and obstacles to face your shadow. Where are you being cracked open so more light can enter? How is your critic keeping you in the dark, stuck in cycles of fear and lack of self empowerment? Where are you stuck in binary thinking patterns- right and wrong, and a black and white mentality? Unmask yourself and remove the false layers keeping you from being nourished and well fed in life and relationships. Heal and awaken with extra guidance and support. Don't try to move forward alone. Relationships are vital at this time- in order to deepen your support systems, sense of community and to strengthen your belonging. Find new resources of support if you are stuck or in challenge. The heart needs your attention like never before. Increase compassion for yourself and others. Deepen your awareness about your own needs. As you identify the deeper layers of your inner being, you can express them and gain deeper support from others, from life. Remove and let go of that which is draining you, keeping you from vitality and joy. Simplify your life. Create honesty and resiliency while inviting in new pathways for thriving. Mercury moves to Sagittarius on December 5th at 22:16 PST, leaving the conjunction of Saturn and Sun in Scorpio behind. This eases the mental body pressures on multiple levels and gets the mind out of the dark depths of our subconscious. Mercury in Sagittarius offers spiritual support and transformation for our mental body blockages. This may feel like a welcomed relief after the many months of intensity and identifying deep, dark inner challenges and blockages. Certain challenges will continue for the mind in this cycle to come if you resist surrender and awakening to your deeper purpose and meaning. If you force outcomes or objectives, there will be intensification. When ego gets in the way of your awakening process, there will be frustrations, obstacles and excess inner heat.

Courageously step into community, relationship and support systems that nourish and increase a sense of safety and support within. Seek balance with inner and outer and express your needs clearly. Self care and deep inner nourishment are essential at this time. Be mindful of what you put into your body and what comes out of it- through words, actions, expression, etc. What relationships and environments feel nourishing? Which ones do not? Get clear on what works for your mind, body, heart and spirit. Remove and let go of all that is draining you, making you feel heavy. Find healthy boundaries within your life. Simplify the heart and home. Clear away old karmic patterns. Where is the ego resisting and holding you back? How is the mental body ruling your life and choices? Orient yourself towards feelings and sensations. Let this honest wisdom determine your choices and actions. This is a time of creating radical inner and outer balance. Be courageous with your intentions. Gather support, guidance, knowledge and wisdom to assist your efforts. Above all, land in your gut and let your core values determine what you need. Ask your ancestors, father, gurus and guides for extra support. Let spirit into your life in new ways. Spread your wings, extend your reach and find new flight patterns. *Horoscopes are based on your Vedic (sidereal) 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 (Tropical) 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: Relationships continue to prove vital for your increased support and stability. Move towards dharmic steps that activate your passions and purpose. Work through old, heavy karma with diligence and guidance. Let your body be a resource for this process of release and liberation. Stomach is a vital healing portal for you in this cycle. Change and remove old, bad habits radically. Anger needs your attention. What does it share with you about your needs? What has to change? Connect with father, gurus, guides and ancestors for extra support. Taurus: Your heart center is a powerful resource for increasing your inner light and awareness. Let it guide you and propel you into action. Notice where your inner critic keeps you away from this light and your inner power. How can your gut wisdom be a resource for creating change and transformation? Dive into your depths and work directly with the mental body for ultimate healing. Let relationships be a resource for both challenge and support. Where are you feeling stuck and resistant? Where do you need to ask for more support and attend to self care? Gemini: The critic continues to remind you what is not working. Find ways to reframe your experiences and bolster resiliency. What feels supportive and encouraging? Support systems are vital right now as you restructure your life and relationships. Surrender to creative flow and let your artistry, connectivity and co-creative powers guide you. Use your inner wisdom to deepen your connections and relationships. Get guidance and new resources to increase your courage and creativity. Work on resiliency and adaptability as well as gut health. Cancer: Nourishment is your main focus right now. Use increased creativity, movement and flow in the heart center to increase joy, co-creation and love within relationships. Gut wisdom and core power offer insights into your deeper needs. Let your stomach help you increase a sense of support and stability. Allow spirit to remind you of the essentials. Emotions and gut intelligence are intimately connected. Calm and clear the mind for increased awareness and deeper listening. Courage and creativity are still filled with a warrior spirit. How do you direct this energy and power? Leo: You are gaining strength and power. Let your spine be a resource for creating more awareness with your inner alignment and stability. Words continue to be powerful and assertive, as well as a dominant force. Speak the sweet truth and avoid breathing fire on others. Where do you need to speak up? Where are you choosing not to use your voice? Where is your self expression imbalanced? Notice the effects this has on your work and personal relationships. Find steadiness in the heart with balanced boundaries and authentic, clear expression. Virgo: Work consciously with themes of nourishment and inner resiliency. How can you increase connectivity and release challenging relationships with more consciousness? Fill the recent emptiness and release with deep intention. The critic is still working its magic on you, helping you discern and distinguish what works and what doesn’t work for you- in life and love. How are you using the challenges and obstacles with consciousness? Land in physical and spiritual bodies and allow creative courage to be a resource for your process. Libra: Expect more fluidity and balance to arrive in this cycle as Venus moves to your first house. It’s time to get radical with relationships and creativity, clearing away excess, lack of support and nourishment. Release people and environments that don’t have your deep needs in mind. Meditation and retreat time is essential- which will help you come back to center and land in your core. Seek steadiness, balance, inner and outer harmony, as well as gains from wisdom and knowledge. Let fathers, teachers, guru and guides support you and help you with inner mastery. Scorpio: Take some time away and go on retreat- even if it’s just an intention and inner orientation. Let your actions reflect these intentions and ask for more support. You continue to go through much change and restructuring, while learning how to honor your needs more acutely. Lead by example and continue to focus on your power and potency. The haters may hate, but don’t give them any of your attention. Work consciously on standing in your power. Attend to relationship needs and let nourishment come through mind and spirit. Balance inner and outer life. Intentionally create an integrated life. Sagittarius: Muster up a warrior spirit with your career and see if you can gain some momentum with your steps. This is a powerful time for spiritual pursuits and dharmic insights. Use meditation, travel and retreats to help you land more intentionally into your physical and spiritual bodies. Clean, clear and purify the heart and emotional body. Find ways to reconnect and get embodied. Gains come through women, relationships, creativity and artistry. Let go of those who don’t feel nourishing, supportive or essential to your well being. Capricorn: Fluidity and creativity begin to flow through your career and life offerings. Can you trust this flow? Let this increase help you land in your core power a bit more consciously. Reach into your depths to find your strength and wisdom. Allow your warrior spirit to strengthen and consciously let it support your path and purpose. Get tenacious about your dharma and let relationships support your offerings. Gains come in steady, structured ways. Use meditation and mental body resources to get clarity, focus and to increase inner wisdom. Aquarius: Career and offerings continue to get more structure and support. This is testing your strength and resiliency. Clear and purge all that is unnecessary and all that doesn’t help you stand in your power and potency. Gather gains through new resources, relationships and support systems, as well as knowledge and wisdom. Where are you connected? Where are you disconnected? Let you pelvis be a support system for you as well as a way to increase your awareness about stability. What helps you feel grounded and embodied? Stable and strong? How is your critic keeping you disempowered and out of your inner strength? Pisces: Continue to clarify what works for you in relationships and what needs to be changed. You are identifying challenges, but remember to also seek resources simultaneously. Past relationships and patterns re-emerge to remind you what is working and what doesn’t work. Take this awareness into healthy boundaries and get your needs met in healthy, nourishing ways. Get support and be supported through wisdom, gurus, guides and teachers. Find new pathways of healing by taking new action steps. Help others heal and transform by sharing your wisdom. *All timing is given in Pacific Standard Time Zone.

As the Moon wanes and our energy slows, turns inward and instigates potential, we must attend to the vital release process stirring within us and the cosmos. There are ample invitations of transformation occurring through letting go and endings. Removal and release of relationships and that which no longer serves you in nourishing and supportive ways, must be severed and set free. Radically let go of those who do not have your needs and deep nourishment in mind. Create, new, healthy boundaries that honor your needs and help you affirm your power. Old, outworn patterns, behaviors and stories must be addressed and brought to the surface. How are you continuing to feed the stories that keep you out of your power, without nourishment, and away from being supported and well fed in life? Cut the cords and liberate yourself from the wounds of the past. Multiple planetary shifts in this cycle bring inner and outer changes. Mental body transformations are stirred as Mercury lands in Libra at 09:59 PDT on October 29th, joining debilitated Sun here. After months of moving through his favorite sign, Virgo, he shifts to the relational and connective sign of Libra. Mercury is naturally a connector and a creator, a communicator and a generator, while also signifying thinking and imagination. This cycle will instigate a lot of inspiration and thinking- which will increase the imaginal, the spiritual, new ideas and increased creativity. Simultaneously, it will be too easy to stay in the head and out of the body, which can cause issues with the physical as well as manifestation. It's vital to cultivate presence and deeper relationship with the feeling level and emotional body wisdom, as well as the physical body and its ability to increase stability and support, grounding and landing. Vata and excess air can increase during this cycle, which can result in feeling ungrounded and unstable. The Mercury Sun conjunction will become closer and tighter toward the end of this transit, climaxing on November 16th while both planets are in Vishaka nakshatra. New paths will present themselves and old ones will need to be re-evaluated. Can the old still support you and your needs, your desires and visions? Co-creation, extra support and new alliances may emerge. Seek out others who align with your visions and goals. Call in new resources in order to help your path take shape. Sun and Mercury continue to track each other closely in tight combustion, moving simultaneously into Scorpio on the 17th, joining Saturn here. Get your extra support and resources in place before this transit and prepare for deep inner work in the cycle to come. Feelings and creativity further shift as Venus moves out of the passionate and empowered Leo and into Virgo on November 2nd at 17:39 PST. As Venus lands in its debilitation sign, Virgo, joining shadow planet Rahu here, it's a time to be diligent with relationships, feelings, creativity and finances. Two planets are now debilitated simultaneously in the weeks to come- our light source, Sun, and the life force energy within, Venus. This is not a time to push the physical body. Take care of your health diligently. This Venus cycle will proved challenging to all things Venus, in that you may miss or neglect resources for support due to Rahu's clouded vision. Simultaneously there will be opportunities to strip away the veils of illusion that are holding you back from fully being nourished by our connections, creative powers, finances, relationships and commodities. Challenge is always an opportunity for deepening change and transformation- so if you notice issues and obstacles, look beneath the surface. Look beneath your mundane existence and take note of the old stories and paradigms running you on auto pilot. How are these stories influencing how you connect as well as who and what you connect to? The lack of clarity and certainty in this Venus cycle is prevalent, yet we can choose how to respond to the calamities, discord and discomfort. Do you further separate and disconnect yourself, or do you lean in, find ways to deepen connection and get your deeper needs met? It will be necessary to strive for balance- inner and outer. One of the ways this can be supported is through stringent self care and taking care of your needs on the four levels of your being- mental, emotional, physical and spiritual. The conjunction of debilitated Venus and shadow node Rahu can increase the use of intoxicants and "feel good" remedies that mask your ability to deeply feel. Old patterns with drugs, alcohol, sugar, food etc. can be activated at this time so be mindful of what the underlying needs are. These addictive patterns are a cry for deeper nourishment on some level of your being. How can you get your needs met in healthy, balanced and nourishing ways? What support do you need for your process? Ask for guidance, support and assistance. Deepen your relationship with self and others. There is an opportunity for deep healing in this cycle if we choose to step towards this as Virgo correlates to the sixth house of healing and healer. On the heels of Venus's shift into Virgo, Mars moves to this earthy, focused, mental body sign as well. Both Venus and Mars are tightly conjunct, tracking each other closely as they both move from Leo into Virgo. Mars follow Venus into Virgo minutes after it moves at 17:59 PST. Both remain fragile the days following and continue in close proximity through the duration of this cycle. This conjunction, in addition to Rahu's influence, provides a heated and potentially challenging combination. Conflicts and fiery emotions may be felt. What is the root of the anger? What is the underlying need? What passions are stirring that need your attention and focus? There is a powerful opportunity in this cycle to address anger, rage and the often toxic cycle of this emotion. If the underlying root cause, or need, can be found and honored, an unraveling can take place. In the unraveling, there is opportunity for healing and transformation to arrive. Relationships are vulnerable and fragile in this cycle. Think before speaking, more importantly pause, wait, and take time for reflection before responding. It will be too easy to speak words that you may later regret. If you are feeling strong emotions, pause for 24 hours at least before responding. Give yourself time to meditate, contemplate and release the emotions before sharing your thoughts, needs or motives. At the same time, this can be a powerful cycle of healing for those inclined to do the inner work this time period will provoke. Healing with anger, relationships, power and authority figures are possible. Let your stomach guide you and invite in opportunities for healing your relationships with inner power and emotions, while helping you integrate and digest the messages arriving. Relationship challenges are opportunities for mirroring what we need and also reminding you what needs to shift within you. As Eckhart Tolle says, "Relationships do not cause pain & unhappiness. They bring out the pain & unhappiness that is already in you." As challenges arrive, identify parts of yourself that need to grieve and release. Past hurts, pains, disappointments, sorrows and heavy emotions are all places within you that didn't get the necessary love that was needed. By attending to these parts of your being now, you can help to move, shift, heal and transform the old pain, bring it to the light and allow this part of yourself to be well fed now. Let yourself grieve and peel back the layers of pain that are asking for your attention. Your are being offered powerful opportunities for releasing the sadness and losses that are masked by anger, rage, and frustration. Lean in and tend to these parts of yourself with compassion, rather than resistance and avoidance. *Horoscopes are based on your Vedic (sidereal) 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 (Tropical) 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: You are being offered powerful opportunities to heal and transform relationship challenges. These difficulties are a result of misalignment with your inner power and strength. What parts of yourself have you resisted looking at? What shadows still keep you in the dark? These dark, hidden parts are keeping you from being truly supported and nourished. If you want deeper more nourishing relationships, you must be willing to look at your bad habits and the resistance you have to getting your needs met. What are you gaining from being malnourished? Are you ready to let this go? Taurus: Let relationships work their magic on you. Remember the reflection of the other is causing you to look at parts of yourself that need awakening- whether gentle or harsh. In this cycle you'll be working with your power directly. How do your relationships challenge or support your power, passion and needs for safety and support? Clean up and heal stories around father and masculine energy. Notice how these issues are connecting to your current relationship challenges. Ask for support and guidance. Gemini: Get creative and share your discoveries! Your heart is passionate yet delicate, so attend to your vulnerability with care and diligence. There's a dance developing between power and vulnerability for you, so use this time to harvest new resources. Let spirit support your findings and discoveries. Keep leaning in and deepening your ability to listen. Clean and clear up gut intelligence so your intuitive knowing can strengthen. This is the seat of your power and vulnerability. Cancer: Creativity and courage get extra passion and confusion simultaneously. Communication issues are keeping you from getting your needs met and cause emotional pain. There may be some spiritual issues as well which cause heart pains. Stay true to the wisdom of your body and keep landing back in your physical body sensations. It's the only point of now and can be a resource for deeper guidance for the uncertainties emerging in life. Take your words and channel them through your hands. Create something fabulous. Leo: Gain strength and focus, but don't be overtly focused on actions and agendas. For now, it's enough to hone your vision, gather your resources and align your purpose with more stability. Courage is lacking right now, so let the softening of your steps turn you inward. Time spent in silence and contemplation will feed your creative fires and dharmic path. Nourishment and extra support may feel challenging right now. Remember the obstacles are an opportunity to look at what you need and what will truly serve you. Virgo: Relationships and feelings are extra sensitive and vulnerable right now. Spiritual intelligence can provide you with resources- so create plenty of space for dropping into your inner wisdom. Silence, meditation and retreats will help you deepen your listening skills. Track the critic diligently right now and notice how it pulls you away from nourishment, support and getting your needs met. Consciously take note of self sabotage and the stories that keep you from being well fed by life and your relationships. Libra: Keep going slow and calculating your steps cautiously. It's not a time to be pushing or forcing your body. Rest and relaxation will help creativity increase. Though it will feel challenging or impossible to meditate, this is a vital resource to help you recharge right now. Find ways to pause, drop in, land in your being and honor its intelligence. Find balance with friends, finances and energy. Clean up your diet and stomach. Deepen your listening skills. Scorpio: Reap the fruits of your efforts at this time and find ways to softly land in your body wisdom. Meditation and silence will serve you and help you recharge. Do not push too hard. This is not a time to be seen or noticed in overt ways. Your efforts are best spent on healing and transformation as well as in contemplation. What you harvest at this time will support long term gains. Friendships and relationships are fragile at this time. Be clear about your needs and lower expectations with others. Clarify your visions and ask for guidance and support. Sagittarius: Effort and attention placed on dharma and career will be time well spent. Though there may be ambiguity with how you share your wisdom with others, keep a soft and gentle focus on giving and sharing your gifts. Gains come through deepening your relationship with power and passion. What feeds you and enlivens your spirit? Money, financial support and otherwise will come when you are aligned with your joy. Spend time in silence and contemplation to strengthen your listening skills. Capricorn: Continue to notice where you're forcing or pushing. Where are you telling yourself you "should" or "have to" or even where you are "supposed to" in your work and life? Notice how these stories are exhausting you unnecessarily. There are gains for you in going slow, honoring your physical body needs and taking extra rest. Your path gets passionate and confusing simultaneously. Keep moving towards what deeply nourishes you and get radical in your dharmic purpose. Nothing else matters. Aquarius: Passions are stirring within, though will be hidden to others. Attend to challenges and complications with relationships and your emotional body. This is a clean-up transit which can be beneficial for clearing and transforming old karmas and previously missed personal development work- especially in regard to relationships. Get creative and use contemplation and meditation for clarifying your dharmic vision. Gain from wisdom, guidance and support. Pisces: Relationships shift and change, are passionate yet fragile. The critic will be alive and well for you in this cycle, causing havoc and keeping you from being nourished by others. Do you know what you need? Can you ask for it? Make time for soft landings within and meditation. Work with power issues and lack of self worth. It's hard to get what you really want and need in life when you don't feel you deserve it. Share your discoveries with others who need this message too. Need some extra guidance and clarity? I am scheduling December sessions. Schedule a session with me. Plan your week in tune with nature.

Turn shadow into wisdom, pain into compassion and illusion into clarity. Seek the gifts within your challenges. The week begins with a waning Moon moving through Punarvasu nakshatra transiting the final constellation of Gemini. Ruling deity, Aditi, shares her wisdom and support to usher in deeper nourishment. She brings resources and unity consciousness with her. Align with wholeness and divine flow. Let this theme carry you through Monday as you deepen and drop into greater holding and grounding. As Moon moves into its own sign, Cancer, early afternoon, we can truly land in our awakened heart more easily. Strip off the veils of illusion and saturate yourself in the purity of the emotional body. Day of Mars, Tuesday, provides opening and closing with boundary reminders. As Moon transits Pushya nakshatra, our nourishment comes from balance, breath and heart wisdom. This is the nourishing star, a provider of support, but it often arrives after some release. Just as the exhale allows the inhale. Take time for landing in your heart today and use your breath to arrive in the now. Ketu's drishti can offer awakenings and removing illusion. What are you opening to? What are you closing to? Just before midnight Moon moves to Ashlesha nakshatra, Sarpa's domain. Exalted retrograde Mercury (debilitated now) is tightly conjunct shadow node, Rahu, in Virgo this week. It is a time to be diligent with the mental body and to track illusions, stories and the imaginal realms within. Fears, anxieties and uncertainties are high, while truth, clarity and feelings of support may be challenging. Use this time to work directly with the mind and consciously unravel your inner darkness. The light of the Sun in Virgo, transiting through Hasta nakshatra, can bring awakening and more light. Bring in the light by transforming your darkness. Wednesday, Mercury's day, Moon transits a Mercury ruled nakshatra, Ashlesha. This is the home of Sarpa, the serpent, a devious and mischievous deity who prefers occult and mystical knowledge to the mundane. He is an excellent resource for attending to illusions and inner darkness, then transforming it into awakening and transcendence. What needs to be unveiled? Work with the mind and mental body stories very diligently and use them to awaken from shadow and illusion. Thursday arrives and the Moon jumps through the challenging gandanta gap between Cancer and Leo, where he joins the passionate combination of Jupiter, Mars and Venus. All receive drishti, gaze, from Saturn. Passions are being stoked by the potent trio moving through Leo and Moon illuminates their expressions. Magha nakshatra is enlivened by the Moon today, a nakshatra connected to the ancestors- especially the father's lineage. There is a lot of strength and desire here- to be seen, noticed and heard. With this lunar constellation, a royal, regal flair is often expressed. It's also a place we can deepen our relationship with the ancestors and their spirit. At this time of Pitr Paksha, the sacred 15 day celebration of the ancestors in the Vedic calendar, use today for intention setting. Who and what are you connecting with? What parts of your lineage do you wish to awaken and strengthen? What parts are you ready to leave behind and let go of? Use gratitude to soften the heart and align with the strength of your ancestors. Early Friday morning, Moon moves to Purvaphalguni nakshatra- a fertile and creative star ruled by Bhaga and the planet Venus. Ample creativity and shakti are enlivened through this constellation. Sensuality and sexuality share their potency as well as love and pleasure. The passion of Venus, Mars and Jupiter is enlivened through the amplification of the Moon. Saturn's gaze can bring contraction and displeasure. Channel the creative energy coursing through you intentionally for maximum gain. Notice where you are resisting and refusing nourishment from joy, ease and pleasure. Mercury goes direct at 07:54 and his exalted status will now be felt more fully. The mind is strong right now and can be used for powerful gains or disorienting set backs. How on top of your mental body are you? Focus, clarify, release. Let go of mental body toxicity and limiting beliefs that keep you in the shadows. Mid morning on Saturday, Moon shifts to the latter half of the Phalguni constellation, Uttaraphalguni. Equally creative and potent, this star shares more sustainability and lasting results with our creative efforts. Ruling deity Aryaman and planet, Sun, desire dharma, lineage support and careful co-creation. Love, marriage and family matters are priorities- all things that please the ancestors if they bring fruitful results. Early afternoon Moon moves to Virgo, joining exalted Mercury, Rahu and Sun here. Moon tightly conjuncts both Rahu and Mercury today and tomorrow, creating mental pressure. The magnification of mind and body is illuminated by the Moon over the next few days, with the added layer of shadow from Rahu. Take care of your physical, mental and emotional bodies and allow space and time to attend to your spiritual body as well. Late morning Sunday, Moon arrives in Hasta nakshatra, the domain of Savitr. Use today for awakening and bringing light to your shadow. The Moon transits the 14th tithi today, helping us land more intimately into our inner depths. As we approach the new Moon and the end of Pitr Pakshu, the subtle qualities of spirit enliven. Create space for silence, listening and presence. What parts of your being need more light? What are you gathering? What are you releasing? Monday begins with Moon in the final phase of its waning cycle, Amavasya, and moves to Chitra nakshatra early afternoon. Vishvakarma, the celestial architect, brings his support with building and planning. It's a great time to be clarifying goals and action steps, refining desires and visions. New Moon is at 17:05 with Moon in Virgo and Chitra nakshatra. This is a time of depth and harvesting from our inner resources. Navaratri begins on the 13th, inviting in transformational powers and divine blessings from the goddesses. I'll be sharing more about the new Moon and Navaratri in my next calendar post. *All calculations given are Pacific Daylight Time.
