Diwali New Moon in Swati nakshatra

The new Moon cycle lessons are the reliance of self and the strength found in it. Reading the chart from the Moon, the Moon's depositor Venus is 3rd from the Moon, indicating a lot of motivational energy, courage and collaboration will bring gains. 

 Jupiter and Saturn both 4th from the Moon indicating nourishment in following our individual desires, giving us comfort and satisfaction. Jupiter and Saturn are weighty planets indicating concrete events, and in this chart they add the factor of solid motion by following our hearts desire. 

The new Moon chart also indicates a greater level of refinement in our ability to communicate and to structure and express ideas, as the Sun, Moon, and Mars align in Swati Nakshatra, a lunar mansion with a connection with Saraswati, goddess of speech, art and creative expression. 

This New Moon marks the celebration of the festival of Diwali, the victory over darkness within and the radiant awareness of one’s own inner light. Today’s celebration invokes and attracts Lakshmi’s bountiful presence, prosperity, generosity and beauty through devotion and the connection to greater wisdom.  

On this day the lighting of lamps opens to threshold of new beginnings, offering sweets brings bounty. Visiting and connecting friends and family adds to our wealth.

Clean your space, pay attention especially to your front door (this is your ascendant in Vastu) decorate it to allow Lakshmi to enter your home effortlessly.  

Let us all remember on this day to pray for others, for the world that we all prosper, we all find the light and our inner and outer resources.  Making a grand inward leap into greater wisdom and the creative flow.

I wish you love and luck during the New Moon cycle

Virgo New Moon in Hasta Nakshatra Drawing The Attention of the Mind

As the Moon merges into the light of the Sun it joins a combust Mars and a retrograde Mercury all present in Hasta nakshatra. Venus in Scorpio is calling for diplomacy and the Moon is involved in an impassioned communication with Mars and the Sun. 

Hasta हस्त nakshatra is the middle of the path of the Moon in the sky. Ruled by the deity Savitur, the God of the rising Sun, the quantum consciousness, our soul, the source of our ability to perceive. The light that is never diminished; remaining steadfast and strong.

तत् — TAT — That, God; Transcendental Paramatma

सवितुर — SAVITUR — the Sun, the Creator, Preserver

वरेण्यं — VARENYAM — more adorable, lovely

भर्गो — BHARGO — shine, effulgence

देवस्य — DEVASYA — resplendent, supreme Lord

धीमहि — DEEMAHI — we meditate on

धियो यो — DHI YO — intelligence, understanding, Intellect

नः — NAH — Nah: our

प्रचोदयात् — PRACHODAYAT — enlighten, guide, inspire

The Moon in its cycle is calling for our skill assessment before the great pivoting moment where our key planets Saturn and Jupiter after a long retrograde are turning direct followed by Mercury, all within the next fourteen days another midway point where all their power and conscious energies shift.

The new Moon is time to slow down to see all of the possibilities, sensing at the moment where you are and what is true for you, finding where your resources lie. It’s inspiring us to take creative risks and seek out situations that test and expand our abilities, seek inspired learning, and the flow of our creative spirit.

Appreciate the things that bring light, your awareness, your kindness, the people that bring light, that share light, and use this space to connect and spread this light.

I wish you love and luck with the New Moon in Virgo.

Rahu ignites the bridge of Krittika nakshatra on October 5th

Rahu ignites the bridge of Krittika nakshatra on October 5th spanning from 26.40° Aries to 10.00° Taurus, the space that links fire and earth elements located in the star-field of the Pleiades.

The perpetually retrograding Rahu contains two distinctly different periods as he travels through this nakshatra - the Taurus portion of Krittika Oct 5th- April 12th, 2022,  then continuing backward entering the Aries portion through June 13th. 

Rahu is the spirit in materialization, the makeup of our desires. Rahu in its nature rules things that are foreign to us, such as new experiences, new places and new passions. It's our fear and desire in equal measure. 

Krittika nakshatra co-ruled by Lord Agni and Kartikeya the Devata of war, the son of Lord Shiva himself. It is also governed by the Sun, the enemy of Rahu. As Rahu begins his journey of ignition we won't experience its ‘’benefits’’ until the spring of 2022 when he is on the Aries side of Krittika. Rahu on the Taurus side of Krittika exposes our vulnerability. It also indicates a forward movement and collaboration between countries to create rules and systems. 

The depositor of Rahu, the planet Venus, and the Sun are important keys in the results of Rahu as is transiting Saturn, Jupiter, the last eclipses of 2021, and the Kala Sarpa yoga period from January - April 24th, 2022.

Venus has a difficult transit through March of 2022 as does the Sun. What Rahu will do through April is help clear the pipes of the engine, much like a car that has not been driven for a long time, false starts, puffs of smoke from the tailpipe, and lots of noise.

Mid-April through June 2022  is the start of our ignition phase of Rahu's transit; it's piercing and unsympathetic coming out of the stagnation in the mud. Awakening our more self-centered side, a take control attitude, a push to create and act with independence feeling more empowered and directed.

By then Jupiter will have finally left both Saturn ruled signs completely and have moved into his sign of Pisces empowered and generous, Saturn will have moved into Aquarius the sign of individualization and eclectic innovation. 

From April 2022 through June Rahu in Krittika will ignite our invigorated creative energy, fuel for health suggesting the beginning of a healing phase on many levels on the Aries side of this nakshatra.

Each step we make is important,  we are coming through to shine and return to a wildness in our nature freely expressing our truest self and living fully once again. Check Rahu condition in your natal chart and if you are running Rahu Dasha, Sun, Venus Dasha.

I send you lots of love and luck with the transit of Rahu in Krittika Nakshatra.

Rooted in Expansion Full Moon in Pisces in Uttara Bhadrapada

The Lunar consciousness arrives at its fullness at 5º of Pisces in Uttara Bhadrapada nakshatra, reflecting the earthly sign of Virgo and all of its inhabitants - Sun, Mars, and Mercury.

Opening a thunderous concentrated energy cycle that encourages grounding stabilization on the earth plane even though there is a lot of fear and anger right now that is not being fully expressed.

Ahirbudhnya, the ruler of Uttara Bhadrapada teaches to look to the roots in our subconscious in order to free ourselves, accepting our darkness and the darkness of our times. To expand into the transition of the future, with the pouring down of grace.

The path of changes is set to come through the end of the year. With both Saturn and Jupiter retrograde, and Jupiter now back in debility in Capricorn gives the feeling like we don't know what we are pushing against, only certain of the density of its weight. With Mars combust and frustrated by the Sun through December expresses a need to fight to release tension reacting to fear and anger that is beneath the surface.

The days surrounding the full moon are rich with the connection to the otherworlds, the space between. Starting directly with the day after the full Moon, as the waning phase begins commences the Pitru-Paksha  (The Forefather Fortnight) the remembering and connection to our ancestors and lineage.  Then comes the Equinox on the 22nd when we transition in the western hemisphere from light into the darkness.

Uttara Bhadrapada is deeply connected to Lakshmi. To open her gates we have to pass through her eight forms some very fierce while remaining devoted.

विश्वाधारं गगनसदृशं मेघवर्ण शुभाङ्गम् ।

लक्ष्मीकान्तं कमलनयनं योगिभिर्ध्यानगम्यम्

वन्दे विष्णुं भवभयहरं सर्वलोकैकनाथम् ॥

Shaanta- Aakaaram Bhujaga- Shayanam Padma- Naabham Suresham

Vishva--Aadhaaram Gagana -Sadrusham Megha- Varnna Shubha- Anggam

Lakshmi- Kaantam Kamala - Nayanam Yogibhur - Dhyaana Gamyam Vande Vissnnum

Bhava-Bhaya- Haram Sarva-Loke-ka Naathan

Meaning - Salutations to Sri Vishnu, Who has a Serene Appearance, Who Rests on a Serpent (Adisesha), Who has a Lotus on His Navel and Who is the Lord of the Devas,

Who Sustains the Universe, Who is Boundless and Infinite like the Sky, Whose Colour is like the Cloud (Bluish) and Who has a Beautiful and Auspicious Body,

Who is the Husband of Devi Lakshmi, Whose Eyes are like Lotus and Who is Attainable to the Yogis by Meditation, Salutations to That Vishnu Who Removes the Fear of Worldly Existence and Who is the Lord of All the Lokas.

Connected with your transcended self the true nature of you and call in and celebrate your guides and wisdom keepers, making this your residence, your place of resonant grace, in communion with the divine.

Cognition Of Deeper Truths Aquarius Full Moon in Dhanishta Nakshatra

The August full Moon arrives at 5.27° in the nakshatra of Dhanishta reflecting the throne of the king and its inhabitants the Sun, Mars, and Mercury highlighting an imbalance of authority and false security creating tension and anxiety of what will come next. 

As the Moon joins a bright and retrograde Jupiter our attention is captured - how we as a collective and as individuals seem to be moving both forward and backward at the same time. 

Mars the great honorable warrior that governs Dhanishta addresses our consciousness (Moon) questioning our strategy and applied consciousness. Is the direction and rhythm of our daily actions connected to the beat of our heart and the clarity of our higher self? Jupiter's presence accentuates what is real, and what is true. 

Stirring the lessons within this cycle of a hunt for solutions - how to take action in unison with society while remaining true to our personal power.  How to create change by engaging our awareness into action, to become accountable as a world in living in community, and inspire others to partake in shaping our collective destiny. Keeping the light bright in a world filled with challenges and uncertainty.

The axis of Aquarius the sign of the people, the collective, and Leo the home of natural authority and our personal power is where these lessons unfold. Check where this is in your charts and see how you can engage your spirit to rise to the challenge. Every warrior, great athlete, and wisdom teaching recognizes fear as part of the experience and keeps moving forward. Leading from the heart.

Shiva teaches us to remain in our center, with our full presence connected to truth, opening the space allowing for things to fall away with open hearts in spite of our egos. When this is not in harmony and we live by the limitation of our individual self then we are easily shaken. 

I wish you love and luck during the full Moon cycle, remember the world needs your participation, to live from your heart and not from fear, where your light spreads light.

Solar Eclipse June 10th- The Alchemy of Levity

The June 10th celestial alignment of our Solar Eclipse occurs at 25°degrees of Taurus in Mrigashira nakshatra, the constellation of desire and searching. 

Eclipses are markers of change, the awakening of a new consciousness where we have to adapt to new circumstances. Rahu is the one who opens the door to our luminaries ushering in our soul body and consciousness through the gate of change.

Venus, the depositor of the eclipse, is in a harmonious exchange with Mercury. Where they share information and wisdom. Mercury laying out the road ahead revealing information and insight Venus establishing values and gains. The two gentle planets exchange with swiftness, new avenues, and opportunities as well as the things hidden from our view.

Venus and Mercury are important planets for gains. Both are on the lookout to establish our connection to gains.  Mrigashira Nakshatra has the power to realize desires but to do so we have to be aligned with our core desire not scattered with inspiration.  Mars debilitated in Cancer governs Mrigashira, a place his fiery quality is absent, implying more efforts are required from us.

Although this eclipse has positive indications, it does not negate the markers of challenge with the economy and agriculture thought the end of the year.

Eclipses in their nature activate the atmosphere with accelerated energy. It is not a time to start new projects or agreements on the material plane, it is a time for breakthroughs that help you to untie your knot that keeps you stuck from achieving. Use the cosmic winds to transform the tamasic energy and finally let go, leveraging the alchemy of levity!  

As the atmosphere becomes impregnated with change these are the moments we should pause and listen. These days surrounding the eclipse bring a heightened state of sensitivity, observe your senses and fill your inner space with wisdom. Broaden your horizons without being scattered.

Where is your attention? Where is your action leading you? What is your truest desire?  What would our soul say? Become the doer and not the observed, in a contracted mind. state

Happy solar eclipse, enjoy its ride, connect your heart and mind to new possibilities.

I hope you feel love, expansion, and a warm embrace

Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Scorpio

Image credit Asli Yilmazturk

The spaces of our churning, where we close our cosmic eye and reset our aperture, the full Moon Lunar Eclipse takes place in the mighty sign of Scorpio at 11:16° in the constellation of Anuradha nakshatra, ruled by the Mitra the patron of honesty, friendship, and contracts.

The Moon finds no rest in the sign of Scorpio, its tenderness gets challenged and with the strength of Ketu prevailing, it churns our changeable emotional mind to test us.

Scorpio gives its space to us to liberate ourselves from our shadows, dropping us into our depths to make the changes in the seen and unseen realms.

Saturn and Mars give us the resolve to come through and greet the challenge with an intimate embrace, saying goodbye with gratitude to the painful lessons we carried with compassion integrating our imperfections knowing that it is a part of our whole and equally beautiful.

Rahu and Ketu mark the season of change where they reset the path for us. There are many things that are good with this eclipse, it has no obstructions, Saturn helps to stabilize it, and Venus, who is in opposition to the eclipse, has a good distance from Rahu. Venus is also becoming brighter day by day turning into our evening star where she is friendlier and more generous to us.

Check where Scorpio and Taurus are in your chart, and see where your assignment of examination is. Those who have Scorpio or have planets at 11° will feel this eclipse the most.

As always, on eclipse days, eat less, talk less, and avoid the absence of light. Eclipses open the veil where our prayers are received and heard, these are the juiciest of moments to be with yourself and with creation seeing that there is no barrier between you, only the contracted conditioned mind.

We are on the swing of changes, why not enjoy the ride

sending you all lots of love and luck

Listening to what the pressure of time is telling us - Saturn Retrograde May 23- Oct 10th

Coming to a halt in Shravana, Nakshatra Shani begins his annual retrograde lasting four and a half months. Saturn retrograding does not mean a period without progress in fact for many he will speed it up. 

Retrograding in Shravana Nakshatra suggests that there is something to sort out in our direction and in our path. The rashi (signs) are our bones and the nakshatras are the soul, the view of our true desire, the consciousness that awakens the energy of the planets within us. 

Sharvana, (the path) ruled by Vishnu seeks the clarity of our desire to align our efforts in the right direction in order to obtain it.

If you are ignoring the elephant in the room or in the road, then Saturn will certainly come and sit on you to get you to pay attention. If you recognize it and work with its energy then the directed flow brings gains and firm foundations, this is the blessings of Shani Dev.

Whenever major planets retrograde such as Saturn we can feel tired and overwhelmed, both at the beginning and the end of their retrogrades. With Saturn's natural gravity we can feel his imposing limitation of time that there seems to be not enough of it and certainly not enough space to enjoy. 

This is the precise moment to insert the power of the breath, refreshing our minds to decide before we take our next step.

Assess and clarify your goal/direction to understand if you really want it. If you really have the connection and energy to sustain it. If your heart and soul yearn for something else and then put your energy there and keep it moving. Knowing that you have the power to set in motion what is right for you.

We are in a special time where prayers and mantras are amplified make use of them This is a part of the sky that linked to Ganesh using his tusk to write Mahabharata through his ability to listen and understand.

Fill yourself with light every day and see that you are a part of creation and that you are creation. 

We are just days from our first eclipse It’s a good time to be introspective, observing what is awakening and what needs to be let go, give this energy space to take hold, try not to talk excessively, just be present.

I send you lots of love with the retrograde cycle of Saturn

Venusian Strife and Scattering Social Credits

Filled with light the Moon arrives at her fullness in the sign of Libra, in the constellation of Swati a Rahuvian nakshatra ruled by the deity Vayu, the god of the winds and the breath of consciousness, eliciting a degree of independence and scattered emotions not knowing where to root ourselves as we seek to hold steadfast against the fast moving elements change.  

In opposition with the Sun, Venus and Mercury and under the aspect of both Jupiter and Saturn. The Full Moon cycle carries an undertones of delicateness and fragility, with the Moon in a position of vulnerability. 

Venus the depositor is tense and scorched as we find ourselves in ideological conflict and challenges to what we define as peace and what we are willing to compromise for societies gain.

Teaching us to find our strength and balance in the resistance like a strong wind opposing us as we keep moving up the hill. To call in and engage with our creative flow and playful side, developing our flexibility to move and adapt within the speed of change that faces us. Allowing others to have their own experience and perspective, fine tuning our patience becoming better friends and neighbours with those we perceive to oppose us acknowledging the intolerance we carry within ourselves.

Relationships come to the forefront during this cycle, as we are becoming more aware of the need to incorporate those we care for into our new ventures, realising that our individual happiness can only be as good as the state of our closest relationships. 

I send you lots of love and luck during the Full Moon Cycle
