Moon Mind Calendar {August 10th to 16th}

8/12/2015

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.

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.
