Moon Mind Calendar {March 30th to April 5th}

This Week's Intention: Gather the abundant resources swirling around you and within you.
Invite in a new level of support and nourishment.

Moon is waxing and is gaining potency this week as we near the full Moon on Saturday. We are still in the delicate two week gap between solar eclipse and lunar eclipse though. With Sun, Mercury and Ketu still transiting Pisces, themes continue to surface around endings, loss, letting go and surrender. The sacred celebration of the Divine Mothers, Navaratri, has ended but if we've been paying close attention, some new nourishment and awareness should have arrived.

The full Moon arrives this week on Saturday, marked by a lunar Eclipse. Eclipses represent the shadowed self, our inner darkness that must come to the light. In the Vedic tradition, this is not a time to take risks, start new endeavors, or to over-exert. It is a time, however, of turning inward, of meditation and contemplation and a time to take extra care of the physical body with good routine etc. The solar eclipse on March 20th marked the beginning of a delicate two week period which will end with the lunar eclipse and full Moon on April 4th. Traditionally starting new endeavors during this delicate eclipse period is not advised. There are still challenges until we see Sun and Mercury move out of Pisces and into Aries mid month. Be gentle and work with power issues.

Monday begins with a waxing Moon in the 11th tithi, with swelling lunar tides expanding our emotional cups. The emotional body is a potent theme because Moon transits its own sign of Cancer and conjuncts retrograde Jupiter here. Both are in Ashlesha nakshatra today, enlivening Sarpa, the serpent deity. Don't get pulled off course by illusions and overconfidence. Diligently going beyond the surface of the mental body will be vital for gaining clarity and wisdom. Tackle emotions head on and inquire what the need is underneath the emotion. Pacify the mind today.

Magha nakshatra insists that Tuesday start with a jolt of energy and extra charge! The ancestors are conspiring with us today to insure that we learn something new about power and force. Ketu and Sun are in exact conjunction right now so be aware that the ego may get a few jolts of electricity- either positive or negative charges. Sudden shifts are possible today. Try not to let the mind run away with you. Use your stories to uncover hidden inner terrain that is keeping you from your full potential. Now is the time to shine. Let yourself be cracked open.

As Moon shifts into Purvaphalguni early Wednesday morning. The day offers us an ability to plant new seeds and cultivate a rich sensuality thanks to the deity Bhaga and PurvaPhalguni nakshatra. Whatever was re-arranged yesterday has offered us an opening into greater nourishment and creativity today. Are you allowing in the creative flow of ideas and possibilities? Don't block the life force and let in the support as it shows up. Get your needs met.

Early Thursday morning, Moon moves to UttaraPhalguni nakshatra, the latter half of the Phalguni stars. This constellation gives us the opportunity to be nourished from sustainable endeavors, things that last. It's through time that we ripen. Time allows us to deepen our trust, commitments, a sense of stability and support. It's through long term relationships of all kinds that we can find deeper nourishment. Notice where this sustainable nourishment and support is arriving for you today. Even if you are still feeling fragile and raw from the previous days, I encourage you to look for the people and places that are helping you gather your strength and resiliency. Let Saturn's drishti on the Moon right now be a support for finding helpful structures.

Moon is in the 14th tithi now and our inner tides are high! As Moon jumps into Virgo midday Pacific time, it conjoins Rahu. Both get the impact of debilitated Mercury, Sun and Ketu from seven houses away in Pisces. Moon and Rahu give their drishti to this energetic combination in Pisces as well. There is a strong dance of the mind right now and though it's highly fragile due to Mercury's debilitation and its conjunction with Sun and Ketu, we can also access a more intensified awareness at this time if we are diligent with it. We must "strong arm" the mind to keep it from going into fear and terror. Keep yourself out of mental torment with clarifying tools like EFT- Emotional Freedom Technique. Get embodied and stay grounded. Use somatic wisdom to get you there. Make sure to be checking in with all three levels of awareness. Are you using a three level check-in? 

Mid morning on Friday, Moon moves into Hasta nakshatra, nearing Rahu. This is Savitr's domain. He brings the light at the end of the tunnel and reminds us there is light to be had. With Rahu's shadow effect on the Moon we may be struggling to find the light source, or challenged in some way emotionally. Trusting in the light will guide you back to it. Affirm your sense of self, strengthen your inner core. The ego and our sense of power are both getting restructured right now and the mind is spinning its many stories to support or negate this process. Stay true to who you are and what you are. Keep moving towards what you want for your self and your life. Be nourished by wisdom and working with the hands.

Full Moon, Saturday, April 4 at 07:04 CDT with Moon in Virgo and Hasta Nakshatra. A Lunar Eclipse occurs simultaneously and it is Hanuman Jayanti. Total lunar eclipse begins at 04:03 CDT and ends at 09:58 CDT. Eclipses bring a shadow effect to everything they touch. In this case, our emotional body, the Moon, receives this touch of darkness, of illusion. Moon conjoins Rahu during this full Moon, while in Hasta nakshatra, Savitr’s domain. This full Moon offers us a chance for a new beginning, new light. Savitr is responsible for bringing us light, jyoti, and is associated with the first crack of dawn that emerges on the horizon each day. It’s this dawning that awakens us, helps us rise into a new day. Savitr brings us new possibility, new potential, new hope, and he does so with awareness— seeing with fresh eyes, with awakened eyes— often through new wisdom. Recite Gayatri Mantra for extra support at this time.

As the Moon moves away from Rahu on Saturday, we may feel a bit more emotional breathing room within us, however manage lingering feelings of pressure and overwhelm by getting embodied and attending to your self care. Tides are high right now, so everything will be bigger and more intense- positive and negative. Moon transits Chitra nakshatra after midday and Vishkarma brings his support for building and creating. His plans require that you take one step at a time and watch your steps add up. This is important for whatever you are building- good health, a solid relationship, a prosperous business. Take calculated and powerful steps today. Be intentional with your actions.

Just after midnight on Sunday, Moon shifts into Libra, receiving direct gaze from Mars and Venus who are both in Aries. Moon changes to Swati nakshatra midday and Rahu's influence reappears. (Swati is ruled by Vayu and also the shadow node Rahu). Both qualities intensify change and movement. Vayu is the wind god and his role is to bring us the "winds of change" to help us make necessary shifts in our life- whether forced or gentle. Whatever changes occur, use them as a way to deepen your awareness and bring you a new level of inner sight. This theme carries us through Monday.
