On January 6th at 21°of Sagittarius at 0:2:29 (CET) the New Moon Partial Solar Eclipse takes place in the presence of Saturn and Mercury in the Nakshatra of Purvashada, a lunar house owned by Venus and ruled by the Apas, the lord of waters. The first of the two eclipses in January will act as a gateway to what is to come in 2019.

Eclipses with Ketu reveal hidden and buried skills that come to the surface. Ketu’s mission is one of excavation and liberation, in doing so it wants us to go into the discomfort by concretely looking the dark parts of ourselves buried in the tangled confusion of our thoughts and emotions.

At the time of this eclipse, the Sun and Saturn very closely conjunct and through their lens they reveal issues with governments and their leaders, Saturn being the planet of karmic retribution and the Sun representing government and power. On personal level we may feel pressure to commit to our higher purpose, and in at the same time we may feel our enthusiasm or energy dampened by the effect of Saturn on the Sun. Our nervous system is can also be a little ‘cooked’ as seen through Mercury is in the presence of three fierce planets. Those with significant planetary placements in Sagittarius particularly ascendant or Moon will fell the effects of this eclipse more significantly.

Governing the Moon, Sun and Saturn is Purva Ashadha is a very fierce nakshatra, under it it can reveal our obstinacy, argumentativeness, and the inability to listen to advice.

The support and grace we have in January comes from Venus and Jupiter, the two great teacher planets, they bringing opportunities to expand our knowledge from two different perspectives and two levels of awareness. The second source of support comes from Jupiter and Mars who are in an Parivartana, exchanging and sharing their energies and resources. These planets offer us stability and strength.

2019 is related to the PItta (fire) and Vata (air) elements, this affects all forms of communications, our courage, education and efforts. This is a year to get out there and really create changes to manifest, this is a year to pull up your boot straps and go for it. The only caveats is not to react, direct your mind to a greater dimension of your creative expression and keep focused on the positive activated mind and action to manifest. We are entering in a place of inner knowingness , commanding our path, prepared and ready to follow our destiny.

Eclipses are points of change awakening us to our greater potential, they offer us insights into our own evolution. In the Vedic and yogic sciences the period of 3 days on either side of the eclipse should be avoided for new beginnings of major importance.

Keep up be the light and share your light I wish you the very best of 2019 , may we all be blessed, may peace prevail and may all people prosper by thy grace

Revolution and Revelation

2604mmnb.jpg

Beautiful artwork by Jamila Starwater Tazewell

Becoming full at 6.43°of Gemini our last full Moon of 2018 draws resource in field of Ardra nakshatra a powerful place owned by the original form of Shiva, one that is intimately connected to the Kundalini Shakti.  

Under the cold and burning influence of the Sun and Saturn, directly in opposition to the Moon, these two powerful malefics capture the Moon with their aspect, leaving nowhere for our emotional and mental body to hide. The penetrating lesson Saturn delivers though the Moon is one of circumspection and forethought a commitment to taking ownership of our thoughts, feelings and our actions, Saturn is insisting the way forward is of maturity, deeply rooted in the security of who we really are.

The echo locator of our heart (the Sun) is communing with our desire (the Moon) from the very center of the galaxy a place loaded with immense potency and power, seated next to the largest black hole, singing the song of our soul desiring to be heard and witnessed.

As humans we are saturated in emotions, experiencing their friction against our thoughts and perceptions where they intertwine and colour our lives. The intensity of 2018 transits were  teaching us maturity and responsibility in the expression and processing of our emotions and our actions, our inactions, the karmas we have created.

We have collectively evolved and expanded this year as our consciousness and soul pushed at times to the limit , held accountable by the consequences of time. The December full Moon gives us a leap of power and strength to merge with ourselves, integrating the lessons of 2018, the Ardra Moon under its intensity of deliberation and consequences lead us to a very deep spiritual experience. The fierceness of Ardra nakshatra bring us to a tête-à-tête with our soul.

The two houses prominently activated during the full moon cycle of Gemini and Sagittarius are places that embrace change and breaking though. Places where we need to adapt, using our intelligence, faith and trust. Adra gives gains and success after struggle or search, this is seen with the lesson of the Rudra transforming into the auspicious Lord Shiva using his commitment, and unwavering determination to merge with the soul using one of the many the names of God to cut through the mind and its overflow into the subconscious were our thoughts and emotions hold us back.

Those who are running a Ketu or Saturn dashas or have a Sagittarius, Virgo, Gemini or Aquarius or Capricorn ascendent or have the moon in Sagittarius will feel the impact of Moon the most.

When the Light Comes In. Full Moon In Taurus Vedic Astology

13680605_10209923034369435_588088716266242119_n.jpg

Becoming strong and full at 7° Taurus the full Moon arrives in the transforming lunar house of Krittika nakshatra, known in the west as the seven stars of the Pleiades. Krittika is a sharp lunar sign ruled by Agni the transforming fire of illusion.

With the Moon under the gaze of a combust Jupiter, retrograde Mercury and fiery Mars, our mental and emotional energies are ignited and can quickly run into intense overdrive, filling us with a passion that needs an outlet.

​We may feel a calling from deep within that certain changes are needed, yet we may not know, which way to chose. What is important now is not to rush, but to take your time in making firm and steady steps forward. Do not over pressurise yourself and try to accomplish everything at once, or even worse make impulsive and hasty decisions. Take your time, give it space to unfold until mid December.

Both of the key Lunar movements this month (new and full Moon) took place the homes owned by Venus. The new Moon was under the influence of retrograde Venus and now our full Moon is influenced by a combust Jupiter and Mercury retrograde. This combination heralds a time for us to analyse our own character and our tendencies, rather than point the finger and jump onto our soap box as the Sun and Jupiter can encourage us to do.

Our November full Moon is not a tender, even though it contains a powerful nurturing quality it wants to clear out quickly and without mincing words, we can be critical harsh just like a fire, the energy of the full Moon carries a potential and the resource to get things done and remove what is not needed. The key is in how you transform without setting everything ablaze, use your meditation and your mantra, call upon your breath when you are feeing the pressure allow these tools to work for you.

To conquer the mind is to conquer the world. ‘Guru Nanak

To conquer the mind is to conquer the world. ‘Guru Nanak


One this very special Taurus Full Moon we celebrate the birth of Guru Nanak Dev Ji on Kartik Pooranmashi

Dhan Dhan Shri Baba Nanak

Defining what you need- New Moon in Libra

Vishaka

The new Moon joins the Sun at 21° in the constellation of Libra on November 7th in Vishaka nakshatra, a place of fire and of purpose. It is the crossing of threshold where we become like an arrow, with a one pointed focus awakening the opportunity to hear our calling and to aim for higher goals.

The movement of Mars into Aquarius just one a day before our November new Moon, marks an important shift, with a notable sense of release and relief. Now free and uncorrupted by the influence of Rahu and Ketu, Mars will awaken our inspiration, in the coming weeks, improving our perception and our attention to detail, while is resides in field of Dhanishta.

The dark new Moon’s partner, the Sun is in its debilitated place in Libra, where it’s light is humbled and disrupted. The diminished light of both the Sun and the Moon, is to teach us to navigate and to locate what awakens our heart and what makes it sing, where we feel free and uplifted, it is in the darkness where we must listen, to find our courage to make a choice and commit to it.

In the days surrounding the new Moon we may experience, low physical and mental energy, this is echoed by the weakened Sun and with the the ruler of Libra, Venus, who is in its retrograde motion, although powerful in its own house, its effect can disrupt its natural expression inclining us to be less social and more withdrawn.

As the sky is the teller of time and the unfolding of our of karmas, we still can change our destiny by taking action everyday, this November new Moon is encouraging us to cross the threshold of indecisiveness and turn it into action. With the first step forward we honour ourselves by becoming ourselves, becoming visible to the universe so that miracles can find us.

This is a powerful time of integration that serves as a catalysing moment in our Soul’s journey to wholeness, Vishaka nakshatra is only concerned with dedication and devotion we need both to achieve anything worthwhile. Define what you need and move forward with sheer intent.

I wish you a very Happy Diwali, the light of eternal abundance, that shines within you everyday

Locating The Beat Of Our Heart October Full Moon

Image Nasa

Image Nasa

Becoming full at 7 °06 of Aries on Wednesday, October 24th the bright full Moon in the field of Ashwini nakshatra, a part of the sky where two very bright and prominent stars, Hamal (alpha arietis) and Sheratan (beta arietis) are located. A highly motivational space filled with the knowing of how to shift the currents of our heart and actions, to our desired and destined direction.

Mars is a key in directing the energy of our October full Moon, not only as it depositor in Aries but with its beneficial 4th aspect from its exaltation point in Capricorn. Energizing and influencing the Moon with a sheer force of inspiration and will, lighting us up from within so that we can emanate and transmit its creative force, allowing its warmth and passion to lead us to the very beat of our heart. Mars, you see is reading our pulse.

Our inner fire is our sacred gift to be used wisely to activate our life force, putting it to good use where we are inspired and leads us to our dharma. What will need tending to during this lunar cycle is the quickness of our mind and emotions, which will be operating quite fast and with a pointed sharpness. In this period we can become emotionally aggressive and reactive in a way that only ends up hurting us. It is an influence that comes from a place where we may have felt contained or controlled over the last few months, spilling over of what has been stuck within us to be released.

Mars is sharing its powerful energy to propel us forward over the next few weeks before he leaves his place of exaltation in November, this is a chance to harness it and use it to our advantage. Don’t allow the commotion of emotions over take you.

With the windy, cold and dry seasonal changes upon us now in the northern hemisphere, we begin a time where Vata qualities are activated so get out your moisturizing oils and use them liberally, oils are stabilizing to our nervous system and help to insulate our body, you may try adding some citrus olis to awaken the mind or a frankincense oil for protection. With the Sun debilitated in Libra it’s likely that we are in need of a little extra care now.

On the 23rd the night before the full Moon marks the harvest festival known as Sharad Poornima (‘Early Autumn Full Moon’) dedicated to Lakshmi, the goddess of spiritual and material prosperity. It is believed that she grants blessings of abundance to those who stay awake on this night, honouring her.

Be blessed, be bright and keep connected to your heart

I send you lots of love during the Full Moon cycle

Jupiters Transit into Scorpio

Photo Nasa

Photo Nasa

The magnificent transit of Jupiter is upon us, but is it is not simply moving houses it is moving fast, stirring up meaningful changes that will touch each one of us over the next thirteen months.

The first of part of Jupiter transit is seen as it moves into the natural 8th house of the zodiac the sign of Scorpio, the sacred place where we change, where we journey into the deep dive of transformation to come through the otherside renewed.  Jupiter is welcomed with open arms in the house owned by Mars, a friend to expansive Jupiter, becoming bountiful place unrestricted in the depths of Scorpio.

During its transit into Scorpio, Jupiter will have a strong influence all three of the water signs Pisces, Cancer and Scorpio. Pay special attention to these houses in your chart especially if you have your ascendent or planets  in Anuradha, Uttara Bhadrapada and Pushya Nakshatra, wherever Jupiter transits, it expands and where it aspects, it blesses those areas.

This transit of Jupiter is not only a very important and but a unique one, much more significant then when it was in Libra. Jupiter will move very fast through Scorpio for the first five months of its transit and we may feel that we are being challenged to match up to its speed and with the changes it brings.

As quickly as it will move through Scorpio, it take a quick yet meaningful dip into Sagittarius where come to a halt and station on March 30, 2019, in its own home in the nakshatra of Mula, the very center of the galaxy in a powerful gandanta point (karmic knot) joined with Saturn and Ketu.

This is quite an amazing transit, as this will place three heavyweight and spiritual seeking planets into one very concentrated period for three weeks. Jupiter powered in its own home depositing Ketu and Saturn. From Sagittarius both Jupiter and Saturn will activate the house of Gemini, another important area awakened to take note of in your chart from March 30th until April 22nd. But this is truly once in a lifetime for this transit and luckily for us Jupiter will be in control this one.

Before leaving Sagittarius Jupiter will retrograde from April 11th until the 22nd before returning back on April 23rd to Scorpio where it will remain until November 2019

There are two noteworthy dates in 2018 worth mentioning; the first of which is on November 11th when Jupiter will be in exact degree with Rahu, where Rahu will be creating a bit of a rucks. Rahu wants everything larger than life and it will wants it now, it wants all that is hidden and is secret, try not to get caught in the smoke and illusion of Rahu, as it can lead to make mistakes.

The second is on December 23, when Mars moves into Pisces, exchanging water signs with Jupiter in Scorpio, in a positive trinal relationship between two friends, again look to which houses these are for you and use it to your advantage. When we have Jupiter guiding the power and force of Mars, things tend to move in a positive way.

I send you lots of love and luck with the transit of Jupiter, may you be blessed and feel the support of the universe all around you.

Peering Deep into Well, Full Moon September Vedic Astrology

photo@satnamk

photo@satnamk

Becoming full at 7°of Pisces the full Moon draws resource in the the star field of Uttra Bhadrapada plunging us into a magical and electrical space ruled by the Naga, a place intimately connected to the Kundalini Shakti.

The watery and fiery September full Moon is directed and purposeful, seeking out the depths of our essential truth to find a balance between courage and fear when it comes to making decisions, rather than simply falling into the escapist potential of Piscean energy.

After this incredibly challenging summer, where we have been taken to our depths, pushing many of us to what was our perceived limits and our natural inclination to avoid the uncomfortable, we became soberly awakened to where our actions and thought patterns have lead us to.

As humans we are saturated in emotions, experiencing their friction against our thoughts and perceptions where they intertwine and colour our lives. In the Vedic system, Saturn falls at all the heart of all water signs, teaching us maturity and responsibility in the expression and processing of our emotions. Much like a river that needs walls to lead it to the ocean, where it finds its depth and foundation, we too are best served when we are aligned with focus and purpose.

The lesson of the September full Moon is to gain control of our emotions and our negative self programming by creating better path-ways by leaning into our mantra, use it and cut though the overflow of the subconscious mind . Sound current is the eco location of the soul connecting to the infinite, put it to work for you.

As September closes so does the drama of the Summer and with the opening of the month of October we will feel the intensity shift and begin to feel supported once again.

I send you lots of love during the full Moon cycle

The Healing Moon

Shiva Mandala1.jpg

The Moon arrives at its peak fullness at 9º of Aquarius on August 26th, brimming with energy and healing. The Moons draws her resource in the star field of Shatabishak nakshatra, a place in the sky energetically charged with wholeness, peace and protection in the home of 100 healers, where lost and hidden technologies are found.

Shatabishak is a bridge to the past and future, it is a portal deeply connected with sound, the mysterious force the pervades the universe, bringing to the surface of our consciousness very old and possibly hidden diseases, not only of the body but of the mind and heart, providing the needed space of transforming it.

The Moon receives a firm aspect from Saturn from the very center of galaxy, a place loaded with immense potency and power, who is doing its last bit of soulful and practical house cleaning- removing what is no longer working, that which weighs us down and what it not true. Its 3rd aspect fills us with immense capacity to look to the root cause and to take ownership of our actions, inactions, the karmas we have created.

Jupiter also brings his attention to the Moon,  with his beautiful glance of a 5th aspect, recharging and delighting our minds with a generous dose of positive energy, lighting the inner spaces of our heart and soul, to see the bounty of rewards that lie ahead of us, for the efforts we have made in the life lessons we have been dealt over the last several months, as marked by the intense and fiery Mars+Ketu combination, the trio of eclipses and several retrograde planets.

Full Moons reveal the shadows of what is not forgiven in our lives, the energy that is not flowing, and blocks in our mind and in our heart. Finding your mantra is a effective tool for  healing and transformation with this Moon. Sound has the power to keep our mind in the vibration of our choice, so take care what you repeat.   Find your mantra and attach yourself to it.  Allow it to carry you, allow it to shield you, and allow it to serve you.

Don’t lose faith, don’t lose heart and never surrender

I send your lots of love and luck

New Moon Partial Solar Eclipse in Ashlesha

photo @chr.Artic

photo @chr.Artic

The path of our consciousness, the Moon crosses and intersects with Sun our soul on August 11th in the star field known as Ashlesha Nakshatra, governed by the mystical Naga. It also marks the end of the summers eclipses with the third and final horse shoe or partial solar eclipse visible to those in the northern and eastern part of Europe.  

New Moons are about withdrawing our energy and turning within, eclipses are often described as a time seizing, but more significantly they are a time for a deep release as the Sun our soul is set free from the smoky haze Rahu.

With the two planets associated with the mind, Moon and Mercury, involved in this eclipse, it may leave us feeling more emotional than normal as well as adrift in a sea of irrationality, intensifying our thoughts, creating a pressure on our nervous system. 

Ashlesha clings and protects what is does not want to part with, it is alchemical and transformative field in the sky, that suggests that the matters that arise during in this 28 day cycle will be insightful, yet likely a struggle to let go of. 

As we become intertwined with retrograde Mercury enhancing the access our higher senses to become harmonised with our environment so that we may instinctively navigate the path forward.  We are in a time to be mindful of our speech, communication and of our thoughts checking in to see if they are true and clear. Not allowing the lower caustic reactions to take hold.

Understanding this cycle , think of what a snake must endure in the process shedding it’s skin. As their eyes become clouded over, to the point in which they can no longer see, they become more sensitive and much more prone to strike. They instinctively understand it is the time to slow down and retreat into a safe and secure place, allowing themselves the space to transform.  Ashlesha Nakshatra is a master of the senses, the guardians of treasures within, connected to vibrational energy picking up the pulses in the surrounding areas; tapping in and tracking its energy.

Ashlesha is leading into the deep spaces of our mind, discovering our treasures, our shadows and the impulse of our desires. Preparing for the birth of something new and far better.

With all the difficult planetary influences at this time, the recommendation in August is to create more time and space for rest, retreat and relaxation. In the days leading up to a new Moon is when the Moon's energy is weak and vulnerable, which translates to physical and mental fatigue or weakness. So take time for yourself. If you can do not start new projects or make important moves or decisions until September.

We are in the home stretch of the toughest retrogrades of the year and some pretty intense eclipses, keep up and you will be kept up!

Full Moon total Lunar Eclipse Shravana Nakshatra

Untitled-1.jpg

In a solar eclipse the path of our consciousness, the Moon crosses and intersects with Sun our soul. During a lunar eclipse, it is the shadow the the earth, the material world that is cast upon the Moon, where by our concrete reality  becomes unclear and can seem disrupted. 

During the eclipse on July 27th this disruption is compounded a retrograde Mercury where our intellect seated in the electric domain of the Naga,   a very volatile point in the sky that rattles and impairs our judgment. 

We have all been either dealing with or witnessing the power play and tension between retrograde Mars and Ketu now with the Moon joining them in the abode of Capricorn we are being lead into the deep spaces of our mind, discovering our treasures, our shadows and the impulse of our desires.

The eclipsed Moon in Shravana Nakshatra suggests that there is something to sort out in our direction and in our path,  how we perceive our path and how we see ourselves becoming individualised, where we have the choice to either we take hold our time or become subject to it.

The unavoidable changes are already taking place and you have the power to set in motion what is right for you, now is the time to get the behind the scenes work done and to get yourself orientated in the direction where you want to go.

With Saturn  sitting in the the center of the galaxy and being  12th from the moon in Mula Nakshatra it is whispering support and giving us internal and wise counsel during this period, connecting with our roots and the depth of who we are. 

Mars will end its retrograde in the end of August where we will start to experience forward movement in our physical world and with less much inner tension. Until then its energies will be heightened teaching us to tune into the intensity of our feelings and to be present with them, not act on them only to be conscious of them.

This incredible Lunar eclipse will take place on Guru Purnima where all our teachers and spiritual masters become more accessible, making it much easier to connect their energy.  

Fill yourself with light everyday and see that you are a part of creation and that you are creation. Examine and refresh your tools and thoughts, stay committed to the connection with your heart and with your higher mind.  We are in a special time and where prayers and mantra are amplified make use of them. Its 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 to excessively, just be present.

I will be giving readings at the the European Yoga Festival in France from July 28- August 4th as well as teaching three workshops

I send you love and luck during this eclipse cycle

New Moon Partial Solar Eclipse the Birth of Motion

IMG_6021.jpg

New Moon solar eclipse in the domain of Punarvasu is the first of this summer’s three eclipses.

Solar eclipses are about change and are most powerful and destabilizing in the areas of their path of visibility, where they create a heightened and sensitive atmosphere.

Eclipse effects do not come and go on they day they arrive, their effects last for months. This particular eclipse on July 12/13th (depending where you live) will not come with a dramatic flare for most, but it will make sure we take notice of its presence by delivering more subtle effects that become clearer in the upcoming weeks beginning with a whisper and building to a thundering roar at the end of the month with the total lunar eclipse.

The star of this celestial event is the Nakshatra Punarvasu whose message is of the pure shakti, a rebirth and creation, bringing the light of Jupiter to the forefront softening this eclipses edges. It is calling from our deep unconscious to heal our divisiveness and the contention within us clearing the way to an accelerated motion, particularly in areas where you have been resisting change. Purnavasu is a Nakshatra of patterns and wants us to look at the patterns in our life where we have a chance to examine and redefine, to go out of our comfort zone, Rahu pushes for this action with its eclipse.

We have been in a messy period for the last few months where at times we may have felt that we do not know what to do, what to think or what is our purpose and downright irritable at times. This is largely seen by the influence of  Ketu joined with retrograde Mars, and a retrograde Saturn aspecting the Sun challenging our purpose and our foundation in the roar of tension and frustration. The two eclipses this month will spotlight where you need to take notice and give attention for the next several months.

Fill yourself with light everyday see that you are a part of creation and that you are creation. Examine and refresh your tools and thoughts, stay committed to your path we are in an important opening where prayers and mantra is amplified make use of them. Its a good time to be introspective, observing what is awakening and give this energy space to take hold. Eat light on this day and if you can avoid being out during the eclipse.  

Please note that during eclipse the start and commence of the new beginnings, important ventures and large purchases should be avoided in the days before and at least 3 days after.

The Unsettled Mind, Full Moon in Mula Nakshatra June 2018 Vedic Astorlogy

25398710_932401976911650_2222172555599252098_n.jpg

Full Moon in Mula Nakshatra On June 27 US / early June 28 in Early Morning 

The story of time and karma as told through the eyes of the Moon in the company of Saturn, happens  at the very the center of our galaxy, a place loaded with an immense potency and power, where a massive black hole is known to reside.

The Moon is now caught between two powerful malefics leaving nowhere for our emotional and mental body to hide. The penetrating lesson Saturn delivers to our Manas ( mind) is one of circumspection and forethought, a commitment in taking ownership of our thoughts, feelings and our actions. Insisting the way forward is one done in maturity, rooted in the security of who we really are.

We are evolving and expanding as our consciousness grasps the consequence of time and the gravity of our choices in a very tangible way. There is no better moment to find ourselves , the lessons of deliberation and consequences can lead us to a very deep spiritual experience.

These magnificent planets are conspiring for your success, freeing you for new opportunities and perspectives. The revolution and revelation are stirring within us. The beauty arises when we are open to what is and who we came here to be.

Those running a Ketu or Saturn dashas or have a Sagittarius, Virgo, Gemini or Aquarius or Capricorn ascendent  or have the moon in Sagittarius will feel the impact of this the most.

We are getting just at the beginning of tough summer with the door to the eclipses now open

Seeking - New Moon Taurus Vedic Astrology

79d233b21c0e027940f8f7ded36b15b0.jpg

The new Moon cycle that begins on June 13th in the Nakshatra of Mrigashira leads us into questioning our values and our opportunities. We are seeking a social and emotional connection that is linked to what we value, and the alignment with those who support us.

The Moon is powerfully placed in the home of Taurus where she is quite stable and strong, falling in a section of the sky owned by the nakshatra Mrigashira, whose resource stimulates a need within us to pursue our personal truth and to make a decision by choosing one direction, not falling prey by to many choices where we only wind up in frozen confusion.

We may be burdened by doubt and insecurities, or with a feeling of lack, where we think we need more inorder to move forward, but the reality is we have way too much and what we are lacking is a trust from within. This the core and fundamental truth that keeps our attention divided and unfocused on the one path requires our full nourishment to develop it.

A Taurus new Moon has an agenda of manifestation by stimulating us to be present in the this physical and miraculous earth plane, connecting with our desires and our senses, Mrigashira is the catalyst of this, it teaches us to deeply appreciate what we have right in front of us and to follow relentlessly it with the intelligence of our heart .

The revolution and revelation are stirring within us. The beauty arises when we are open to what is and who we came here to be.

What path will you take ? What holds you back?

Sun Transits Taurus May 14 – June 15

When the Sun takes its throne to the home of Taurus, Venus' fixed earth sign we naturally take more time to enjoy the blooms that greet us, the birds that sing and the simple and sensual pleasures the life offers to us.

The Sun and Venus are not natural friends, why you say? .. Its challenges the Me (Sun) vs. We (Venus) raising issues of cooperation and flexibility.

The first two weeks of the Sun’s transit in Taurus the Sun is in good position position with no malefic influences.

Mercury and Venus who normally travel with the Sun are free and get to function optimally without being burned by the Sun creating an optimistic and energetic environment.

Take the opportunity now and enjoy the delight the Sun is giving in the the home of gracious Venus.  As the the Sun travels through Summer lasting until the Fall  (June 15th through Mid October) it will have a tough time in each sign starting with Gemini all the way until Virgo challenged by hard and difficult aspects and from Saturn and Mars and a conjunction with the north node in Cancer. Libra will also not welcome the Sun, you see it is the other half of the Venus ruled signs.

Take it easy and enjoy the Sun in Taurus and find your flowers 

I send you love and luck with its transit

Piercing the Illusion New Moon in Taurus Vedic Astrology

IMG_4915.jpg

The New Moon at 1°of Taurus in Kritika Nakshatra finds its strength amplified in the house owned by Venus.

In the darkest phase of this exalted Moon is where we are being asked to review how we have limited our growth with our fear based thoughts, where we’ve contracted in an attempt to stay safe.

Taurus is a sign that truly understand all the comforts that life has to offer, it is the embodiment grounded self worth and resources. The Moon governs the manas, our feeling based sensory system of the mind it is our intuit. Cradling the dark Moon is the brilliant and discriminating Kritika nakshatra, cutting right to the the heart of the matter with quickness and clarity. Ruled by Agni (fire deity) it illuminates what was unseen and creates a path in which we put ourselves first.

This is a not tender Moon it is more of a laser Moon, whose agenda is interested in the shifting our relationship with abundance and prosperity, renewing it with inspiration, focusing on material stability, harmony and the improvement of our surroundings. Igniting  new structures that are born out of unsentimental re-arrangement and decisive action, the creation of streamlined systems/patterns in our lives, the editing written material, what we own and in some cases the editing our relationships.

Happily the Moon is free from affliction by malefic planets helping to bring comfort to our mind and to our senses, as we push forward to do the work we need with the willingness to accomplish our projects and goals.

I send you love and luck in the new Moon cycle

The Strength of a Peaceful Warrior Mars and Ketu Conjunction Vedic Astrology

30704052_10211590915151819_2283131333928407532_n.jpg

On May 2nd Mars the planet of action and force moved into its exaltation position, joining the smokey and headless planet Ketu in Capricorn where it remains until November 5th 2018.

Mars the soldier planet can be impulsive and fiery, it gives us the necessary energy for strategy, protection, strength and focus.

Ketu the shadow planet can behave like Mars yet it has more of a spiritual warrior and seeker influence stemming from its dissatisfaction and a need for independence, Ketu reveals our past life karmas and a desire for liberation. The blind spot Ketu gives us is a  know it all attitude that is non negotiable.

Mars transiting through Capricorn for the next five months will feel long and lengthy due to its retrograde pattern. Mars will pass Ketu three times during its stay, with the final pass September 22nd before finally moving into Aquarius on November 5th.

As Mars enjoys an exalted status in Saturn's male sign, Capricorn, we can expect a higher expression of Mars' energy becoming more energised and focused with a desire to act and to make bolder moves. There is a great deal of potential with Mars over the next four weeks, as we inherit Mars strength and willpower to accomplish significant work on projects that requires planning and discipline.

This more positive expression will last until the first few days June at which time there will be a notable shift in energy as Mars comes closer to Ketu on the 7th & 8th in exact degrees- Mars, Saturn and Ketu are not social planets and during this period is is a time where the storm begins to brew with intensity lasting until November.

Where this is occurs in your chart and what Mars rules and your personal Dasha (planet) cycle helps to better navigate its effects. We also must consider Saturn in this mix as he will be retrograde until September.  

Overall this is a time for us all in which  Mars and Ketu are generating a lot of power we should focus our efforts more strategically and really begin to work for peace.

I send you lots of love and luck with its transit

When the Light Comes in and We See the Bigger Picture, April Full Moon Vedic Astrology

Chart_Circle_a.jpg

The Moon arrives at its peak of fullness at 16° Libra in exact opposition to the Sun in Aries. The Sun is almost at its exaltation point and the April full Moon finds company with a retrograde Jupiter.

Hosting the Moon is the house Libra whose lord Venus is powerfully placed in Taurus, depositing boundless wealth,  strength and wisdom into the glorious Moon.

Both the Moon and Jupiter are are nearly free of negative influences receiving only a slight aspect from retrograde Saturn.

This cosmic pulse of the divine is communicating and collaborating with us ecoding us with the bounty of prosperity and victory.

The Nakshatra escorting the Moon is Swati an energetic position of individuality and vitality. Representing our prana ,shakti and life force. It’s energy testing our ability to stand out amongst the crowd  while maintaining our grace in the shifting winds.

The Moon, our emotional body searches for the answers in the house of Libra questioning how we are claiming our sovereignty,  where are we getting our power from  and how are we finding our peace?

The Aries new Moon cycle has been about tapping into our personal power and energy and putting it into action, now the full Moon in Libra is where we are harmonising and integrating this lesson in our most important relationship….the one with ourselves.

In the discovery of your individual power do take care that you do not get lead into isolation or use force. Remember you are part of the whole -not a- part from the whole.

Sit up tall connect with your breath the prana  that which links you to your manifest body practicing your japa, call in on your higher understanding of yourself. 

Yogi Bhajan gave a great meditation that is quick and effective. He said that when we are challenged that we should sit up straight, close our eyes inhale, hold the breath  and mentally chant VICTORY and repeat as many times as needed

Look up to the sky on the days surrounding the full Moon, just before the Moon and Jupiter set in the west you will see the Moon and Jupiter separated by only 6 degrees,  having appeared in the night sky reaching minimum separation near dawn on April 30th. Venus is also there, it will be well worth your attention

Enjoy the strength of the Sun, the comfort of Venus and even the restraint of Saturn as we continue to experience the unfolding of the spring season.

I send you love and luck with the beautiful Libra Moon

When All of You Shows Up - New Moon Vedic Forecast April

IMG_3939.jpg

The blazing new moon in Aries, hosted by the fast paced Ashwini Nakshatra the star of energy and speed,  located in very sensitive a part of the sky known as a Gandanta point  ‘the karmic end of knot’.

This is a place where situations that arise embody the more esoteric soul lessons and the deeply ingrained patterns that require extra patience, and emotional equanimity so that we may see with ultimate clarity what is needing to be polish and smoothed out.  It is a place that work with us to break free from any conditioning that is holding us back.

The strength of the Sun in the very early degrees of Aries where it is at its strongest exaltation point, promised a month filled with activity and forward movement. Mars the ruler of Aries is somewhat subdued by the influence of Saturn and Jupiter helping to ensure we make deliberate decisions so that we may achieve lasting results.

The new Moon also has the support of two great benifics Venus and Jupiter encouraging us to seek the counsel of the wise teachers  as we decide which direction is a good for new undertakings.  

Mercury the planet of our active intelligence, communication and nervous system is slowly awakening ending its retrograde on the same day as the New Moon, its not quite time to celebrate since Mercury will be at a stand still will not have its full strength until early May,   but thankfully for us all the long retrograde has finally ended.

During this new moon cycle Saturn will begin its retrograde on the 18th , in this period we will have two significant planets with allot to say retrograding for the new few months. 

Retrograde planets are tricky they tend to behave and give results opposite to the sign they are in. Jupiter in Libra is behaving and giving results as if it is Aires making it a bit more martial with its influence.

Saturn in  Sagittarius will begin its retrograde on the 18th and will behave and give results  as if  were in Gemini, which is softer and gentler space.  This means these two planets are exchanging their working caps, so to speak. Jupiter a little tougher and Saturn a little softer

We have great and power days starting from the New Moon through the 19th so make use of this time with the Sun and Moon are both exalted on the 18th known as  ‘Akshya Triksha’  a very auspicious day long term growth and power. On the 19th Venus leaves the hot company of the Sun in the fiery home of Mars for a her power place, her own home where she can rejuvenate, build and create enjoying distance from the sun for the next few months reconnecting with her creative source. A very powerful few days to connect with what you desire what you want to initiate .

Summary

Its time to build our futures with greater maturation and awareness. We started the off the month under some significant challenges and now slowly we are to beginning to  feel and experience the juice and the colours of life return.  We are now moving into fresh energies and potentials marked by inspiration, freedom and  a clear purpose  Emerging from a dark winter ready to break free with authenticity and wisdom so we can live more genuinely and be available to the new adventures that offer us excitement & growth.

This New Moon cycle is a period where we have full access to our sense of self and a deep strength infused with life’s rich tapestry, may we take root in the  glory of who we are and expand to the stars and beyond finding our destiny that truly fulfils us.

I send you lots of love during the new Moon Cycle

Conscious and Subconscious Discussions, Vedic Full Moon March

photo: geurlsahin

Our final full Moon of the month on March 31st  has made its way into the house of Virgo where is has gained strength and power. Accompanied by the Nakshatra Hasta the star of awareness lending the Moon its refinement and skill, drawing our attention back to the details, awakening our alertness.

We have had an overload of Piscean energy this month where our mind and hearts were thrown into the deep end of fantasy and overwhelm, the Virgo full Moon will start the shift from dream state to an awakened state.

The Virgo and Pisces axis of the Moon and the Sun both at 17° creates an environment where we can find the balance between our emotional perception and our informational processing, activating a time in which our our mental energy is stimulated and put into action during the full Moon period.

There is an undercurrent of tension made by the gaze of Saturn to the Moon and  Mars’s gaze to both the Sun and Mercury. Creating conflict with our conscious and subconscious mind, that is in need of resolution.

We are in a phase  where we are required to find the mysterious balance between courage and fear when it comes to making decisions, starting with the simple and mundane such as bringing back our attention to our tasks and duties, so we get out of our fog and out of our funk.  

The start the process of moving forward even if it is internal steps of action is a good decision. It is time to  return to our bodies and to our concrete reality , focusing on what we can control.

In the days directly after the Full Moon we will have an tight and tense conjunction between Mars and Saturn the most difficult of its conjunction lasting from the 1st of April until the 4th

People with who have their rising and or planets in Aries, Scorpio, Capricorn and Aquarius will feel this most, but all of us will have to deal with this conjunction and its disruptions.

Pay attention , be kind , be fearless

I send you lots of love during the Full Moon Cycle
