This Week's Intention: Activate your inner power ~
move forward with intention and purpose.


Moon is waxing and the week begins with the third tithi (phase) called tritiya- Vishnu's domain. Just before Monday begins, Sun leaps to its own sign, Leo. Late in the week, Mercury shifts to its sign of exaltation. This is a very powerful time ahead. I urge everyone to use the coming cycles in very conscious ways. Don't waste this precious window of opportunity! Activate and align with your full potential, dharma and inner wisdom.

As Sun shifts to its mulitrikona and own sign, Leo, on August 16th at 23:30 Pacific time, he joins Jupiter, Mercury and Moon here as well. All receive the stern gaze of Saturn who insists on focus, structure and stability. Suddenly our power has a chance to align with purpose in this month to come! But not without deep intention. This Sun cycle activates passion in new ways and offers renewal, fresh starts and a new resolve for all. Simultaneously, heart passion will be potent and forceful. Heart burn or heart wisdom? Channel the heat carefully and intentionally. Connect, create and reach out in powerful ways. Let community and relationships support you and your efforts. Do not self isolate!

Work consciously with your father self and your masculine energy. Diligently clear your inner psycho-emotional and psycho-spiritual blockages and obstacles, inherited from your father and his lineage. Simultaneously, step into the strengths and gifts that have been offered from him as well. Put structures in place that support your work, vision and longevity. Be a manager, a CEO, and use your energy wisely. Let your power align with a deeper sense of purpose.

If you're one without a strong calling or sense of life purpose, now is the time to commit like never before. Use this time to follow your soul's longing and dedicate your actions to activating your dharma. If you need support, ask for it, but don't miss this chance to align with your inner power and wisdom. Need resources? Ask me for help. Use this cycle to find clarity, support and activate your dharmic wisdom. Seek empowerment, but watch for over-active ego simultaneously. You'll know if you're out of balance when entitlement, anger, agitation, rigidity or self-righteousness arrives. This is your red flag that you need to step back into a more heart-centered place of compassion.

Monday, Moon moves from Leo to Virgo in the early hours of the morning, joining Rahu here.
Both planets are in UttaraPhalguni, the second half of the fertile star pattern, Phalguni. Aryaman is the ruling deity. He desires comfort, connection and sustainability as well as creativity. He supports lasting relationships and marriage contracts as well as what the ancestors adore- children, family and lineage. Moon conjuncts Rahu today which increases cravings, desires, uncertainties and shadow work. What desires have you overwhelmed, uncertain, fearful? Where can you surrender and let go?

Late evening, Moon moves to Savitr's domain, Hasta nakshatra, and continues through this constellation through Tuesday. The gifts of Savitr are awakening and insight, light and the dawning of consciousness. Are you awake or sleep walking? Where do you need to step into your life more consciously? What action steps can you take to activate your awareness and inner wisdom? This is not a time to be asleep at the wheel! Get out of auto pilot and awaken!

On Wednesday, Moon shifts to Chitra nakshatra and Vishvakarma instigates creative energy.
He want our creative powers to be activated through action steps (hence karma). Chitra is ruled by the planet Mars. Currently our fire is debilitated in Cancer. Many are feeling frustrations, delays or setbacks with taking necessary action. Make today potent with conscious momentum. What action step can you take today towards creativity and building your empire? Get it!

Late afternoon, Moon moves to Libra, receiving the gaze of debilitated Mars. Connect, communicate and create, but lead with your heart.

Just as Thursday arrives, Moon waltzes into Swati nakshatra, Vayu's constellation.
He brings movement, swift change and intense strength with him. His Rudra energy creates powerful momentum and can arrive as a soft breeze or gale force winds. Are you being blown around or are you harnessing your wind power? Find the calm in the center of your storm. Let go of energy drains and the unnecessary. Be strategic, forceful and clear about your direction. 

Late morning Friday, Moon changes to Vishaka's nakshatra and collaboration becomes crucial.
Indra and Agni are the dual ruling deities of this constellation. As Moon illuminates these stars, we are urged to connect, co-create and find ways to be in community. How can you be both- support and supported? Who and what do you need in your life to help your process and journey? What do you need in order to thrive? Ask for help and get your needs met. Mercury is at the edge of Leo today. Resource from your imaginal body and make a list of what you need in order to step up your life.

As Saturday arrives, Moon shifts to its debilitation sign, Scorpio, conjuncting Saturn,
planet of our grief and suffering. This collision of planets increases sadness, depression and especially loss. Expect tears and extra emotional body sensitivity over the next few days. Tend to your inner realms and physical body. Late Saturday morning, Moon shifts to Anuradha nakshatra. The ruler of this constellation is Mitra, who makes Anuradha the "friendly star". Connect with your friendships today and be a friend to those in need. Dance with the art of giving and receiving, opening and closing, inviting in and letting go. Find your dance with joy and sadness and practice graceful steps.

Mercury (the mental body) moves to Virgo, its sign of exaltation, mulitrikona and own sign. Extra support arrives for our mind, our creative endeavors and all communication efforts. As Mercury shifts into Virgo on August 22nd at 19:50 Pacific time, he joins Rahu here and Ketu gives his re-structuring gaze from seven houses away. The conjunction of Mercury and Rahu during this cycle will effect individuals differently. For some, the confusion of Rahu will undermine the potency of Mercury being well positioned. Others will experience a massive upswing in finances, connections and creativity. Your ability to resource from your inner strength and power will determine your success during this extra long Virgo transit. What is your relationship with your shadow? Can you tame the beast, call it on its self-deprecation and consciously work with overcoming limiting beliefs? Success will come to those who take the dark and turn it into the light. Your biggest struggles are asking you to rise to the occasion. Turn struggle and challenge into gifts and awakening.

This Mercury cycle is extra long and unusual. In many regards it is an offering with extra graces- if we choose to use them as such. Mercury usually makes fairly swift movements, yet his retrograde motion will prolong his dance through his favorite sign. He will retrograde on September 17th, then go direct on October 9th, and finally leave Virgo on the 28th of October. During this back and forth shuffle, he will move in and out of his most potent degree range and also slide in and out of his mulitrikona and own sign degrees. We get a smorgasbord of his support, struggles and potency.

An exalted planet shares 100% of his energy, mulitrikona 75% and own sign 50%. Remember that once he retrogrades, at times he will be considered debilitated as he moves back through his exaltation degrees. (Exalted planets in retrograde motion are considered debilitated). This occurs from September 28th to October 9th to be exact. At this time he is closely conjunct Rahu and combust (burnt) from the Sun. Certainly a time to be very diligent with our mental body, our shadow work and our ego. Use this time for conscious self development work and spiritual practices.

During this Mercury transit through Virgo, we will all need to pay special attention to our mental body, our imaginal body. Stories, thoughts, ideas and words will be extra strong and powerful as will our creativity and imagination. This is the part of our being that can create magic, or destroy us. Depending on Mercury's placement in your chart and your relationship with him, this could be an extra challenging cycle, or a powerful and creative game-changer. Being on top of your mental/emotional body dynamics will be vital.

Sunday late morning, Moon moves to the final nakshatra of Scorpio, Jyeshtha. Sun and Jupiter are closely conjunct in Leo and Mercury has just shifted to Virgo, still weak in degrees. Our body, mind, emotions and spirit are fragile right now. There are challenges with the changes as we all find a new sense of normalcy and grounding. Resource from the physical body and somatic wisdom today. Use embodiment resources and a 4 Level Check-in to land on your feet. Indra rules the day and requires that we tend to our sensitivity as well as our senses. Are you being ruled by your wild horses or are you holding the reigns? Take this wisdom into Monday.
