Moon Mind Calendar for the Week of 4.21

Moon is waning (Krishna Paksha) and transits through Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces and into Aries this week. This is week of turning inward, moving towards more introspection and harvesting inner wisdom. We are still in the midst of the delicate eclipse period, moving towards the solar eclipse on the 29th. Be gentle, stay receptive, find drops of compassion for your Self and others. Find ways to prune your life and allow in more space for joy and healing. Seek rest and restoration.

Monday, 4.21

Moon is in Uttarashada nakshatra today and moves to Capricorn at 13:15 CDT. Uttarashada is connected to Vishvadeva who guides integrity, good character and right action according to the Laws of Nature. Connect with integrity and focus today. Look for clarity in relationships. Be direct but make sure you are aligned with a heartfelt desire to be of service and you can't go wrong.

The theme of overworking is high for the next two days so remember to work smarter, not harder. Ask your Self: Where can I cut back and let go? Where am I overworking? Struggling for success? What parts of my life/work are not getting the necessary support of Nature I need to thrive? Use these as prompts for your pruning work.

Tuesday, 4.22

Moon moves to Sravana nakshatra at 6:07 am CDT. Look for Vishnu's expansive wisdom today. Wherever you have done some pruning in your life, space is being created. This space is vital for your personal expansion, for greater wisdom and clarity to enter. Let Vishnu assist you with this process today. No answer or insight is too small or insignificant. Likely you will need to be still and embodied in order to hear his messages. It may also help to connect with others, or to listen to some timely wisdom for extra guidance. Your relationships and connections can be a resource for this. The point is: be receptive and open to receive.

Wednesday, 4.23

Moon moves to Dhanishta nakshatra at 4:36 am CDT. The Vasu Devas are sources of illumination and abundance, they bring us light (jyoti) and help us manifest on the material plane of existence. Get your head right today. Get your focus clear. Get your agenda in place. What is the goal? What is the necessary next step or action to achieve this goal? This focus needs to be balanced with some ease and grace. The "art of allowing" in other words. Both dynamics are key to "getting the job done" and to achieving life balance. Use music to get in the flow. Sing to lighten your mood. Empty the contents of your head and let in the Vasu Devas illumination with art and creativity. Allow space and time for awakening. Don't get overheated.

Moon moves to Aquarius at 15:51 CDT, joining Venus there. Both receive drishti (gaze/aspect) from Rahu and Jupiter here. The focus becomes more about relating and our relationships later in the day as a result of Moon's movement. Avoid being needy and greedy, but rather work towards being receptive and open to receiving messages from others. Come to relationships with neutrality, a willingness to listen and with compassion. This will be an ample gift to share and way to let your light shine.

Thursday, 4.24

Moon moves to Satabisha nakshatra at 3:07 am CDT. Let the gaze of Jupiter on the Moon soften the judgement of Varuna today. The inner critic may be high, on alert and feeling persecuted by others. What can we learn from these messages and where can we lighten, and let go? Keep interaction and life simple today. Return to the theme of "less is more" for guidance. Mind your manners and work towards a unified harmony rather than "separateness."

The blessing today comes from Jupiter moving back into Punarvasu at 7:42 am CDT. Aditi and her desire for unity consciousness return to us as we expand towards knowledge and wisdom- with a bit less of Rahu's influence on the overall planetary transits. Read more about Jupiter's transit through Gemini here.

Friday, 4.25

In the wee hours of the morning at 1:44 am CDT, Moon moves to Purvabhadrapada nakshatra moving into close degrees with Venus. Find ways to lighten the load and the burdens of your life today. This is an excellent day for letting go of what isn't serving your highest good, looking for release, and asking for Lord Shiva's assistance with the process. Use yoga and dance to come back to a state of inner balance and reset after the long week. Today is a day of purification, which isn't always fun or joyful, but innately important and valuable. If there are any places of gripping, holding on or forcing, now is the time to seek change. Ask your self and your body: Where am I resisting? Where can I allow more ease and grace? What needs to die in order to create space for re-birthing? Where am I pushing too hard?

Moon moves to Pisces at 18:48 CDT and into direct gaze from Mars. Clarity can come at this time, or mental/emotional outbursts such as anger. If you feel your temperature rising, looks specifically at why you are pushing too hard, doing too much, forcing an outcome, or being overly egocentric. These rules apply to the next 2.5 days.

With Venus sandhi (in the gap) moving towards Pisces, pay special attention to relationships through the end of the week. Find ways to soften and flow, and move out of rigidity. 

Saturday, 4.26

At 00:36 am CDT, Moon moves to Uttarabhadrapada where the carving out process of yesterday begins to take shape with clarity, introspection and enlightening wisdom today. With the help of Ahirbudhnya, a naga (serpent) who helps us dive deep and look beneath the surface, we can use the previous days work to harness a deeper awareness now. It all adds up and becomes valuable so don't disregard the simple; it's all profound. Allow time for the mists and fogs to clear and the serpent energy to enliven. Serpent messages are connected to renewal, flexibility and awakening.

Mercury, moving swiftly through Aries with Ketu and exalted Sun there as well, moves into Bharani nakshatra at 15:48 CDT. Mental sensitivity is high right now and in the coming days. Use this to your advantage and also as a tool of compassion for your Self and your relationships. What is weighting you down? What are the mental restraints and conditions you have put on your Self and others? Evaluate these for possible change.

Nearing the end of the day at 23:31 CDT, Moon moves into Revati nakshatra where Pushan comes with his nourishing attentiveness.

Sunday, 4.27

Where this week may have provided some scattering, some sense of being "lost" or misguided, overwhelmed or undernourished, today we get to re-gather and increase our inner reservoir. Pushan is a protector, a guide for the path, and helps us flourish and prosper. He encourages wealth in the material world, but is also a guide for the astral world. Eat lightly today as he prefers easily digestible foods. Our intuition and inner awareness after all are connected to the gut and our "gut responses".

Venus moves to its sign of exaltation, Pisces, at 13:49 CDT and into Purvabhadrapada nakshatra. A passionate, expansive and creative month is ahead for all of us! More about this transit in next week's Waxing Moon Transit Report + Horoscopes. 

At 22:51 CDT, Moon crosses the tricky junction point of Pisces (water) and moves into Aries (fire) where he joins exalted Sun, Ketu, and Mercury there and moves into Ashwini nakshatra and receives drishti (gaze) from Mars eight houses away.

Implosion or explosion? Our plates suddenly feel piled high and bursting at the seams, while energy resources may feel depleted and overwhelmed. We are nearing the final moon phase (15th tithi) and the new Moon + solar eclipse on the 29th. Monday morning will hit with a bang so try to get a good night sleep tonight. On Monday, don't sweat the small stuff, get out of your head and into your body as much as possible. Take "embodiment breaks" to stay grounded. Seek healing and rejuvenation and avoid the emotional outbursts. If overwhelm is present, take a good look at your head space and prioritize tasks effectively. Don't blame others. This does not have to be a day of crisis.
