FULL MOON December 13th Vedic Forecast Karma is My Best Friend

The New moon earlier this month in the sign of Scorpio triggered the last transformation cycle that started way back in 2014. Saturn has been transiting Scorpio since November 2014 and each of us has been forced to work on our subconscious since then. As we have been dealing with this for over 2 years there should be no surprises for those who have done the work.

It is really powerful time with  two Saturnian moons this month; these moons are markers for something permanent. Keep in Mind the Full Moon and New Moons are not just a day- they are cycles.

The full moon upon us is in Taurus and is a very bright, but serious. It’s very practical, rooted and is generally happier here it where it helps to stabilize and quiet the mind. The Nakshatra Migrashira is a very gentle Nakshatra of seeking and curiosity but brings with it a certain level of dissatisfaction, which is leads us to change and to seek fulfilment and greater happiness.

The moon will oppose Saturn and we also have a Sun Saturn conjunction in the sky heightening our pressure and overall fatigue.

Saturn is communicating with Mars aspecting Venus and is joined with the Sun. This combination highlights what we need to destroy, what is making us weak and pushing us to make a choice. The light from the Moon will be very practical; we will evaluate our circumstances closely, and choose to move forward. We may be forced to demonstrate and proclaim that we are capable prematurely or where we may not be prepared do so.  Similar to the tough swimming lesson you got from your father.

Adding to it Mars is joining Ketu in Aquarius where it is not the happiest. Mars has a very individualistic agenda, it forces our will and to have things our way. Aquarius is about cooperation and working for society. Ketu is what we have already learned and have conquered. In this conjunction we are made to cooperate and get challenged to defend or prove again where we have already succeeded. Mars will give it extra motivation to succeed. This combination can break things such as relationships, bring endings ifresolutions  occur but it will not be easy or lasting.

On the 16th the Sun will move into Sagittarius where we will feel relief and overall upliftment as the sun feels happy here. We will focus on our higher the mind, and more pleasant activities and thoughts

Mercury will go retrograde on the 19th until January 8th. Its not allot to worry about,  itdoes makes us visit one last time in an area we need to pay attention to before we close out the year.

The intensity is not over yet, but we are not victims in it we are perfectly protected and loved. Use your tools and make yourself sharp and bright with hearts open and loving. Check out the Mantra for this cycle.

I wish you allot of luck and send you lots of love

Vedic New Moon Forecast - True Grit

The New Moon in Scorpio on November 29th is in the Nakshatra of Anuradha

When we have the Sun, Moon and Saturn all hanging out in one house it’s not a party,  I am sorry to say.  Scorpio is setting the tone this month and it’s all about depth, transformation, fear, intensity and grit; it is also about commitment and loyalty.

This New Moon Cycle will activate an unavoidable dialog between the state of our soul, our consciousness and our true feelings by making us face what challenges us, overwhelms us, and frightens us by bringing all it uncomfortably close. It will make us rely on what truly uplifts us and serves our ultimate destiny. It testing us to see if we are authentically putting into practice the tools we have learned which  support and carry us on our journey. 

The Nakshatra Anuradha who accompanies the New Moon brings with it divine love, unity and support.   It is  known as the star of success,  perseverance and friendship it grants us the ability to communicate effectively and interact with one another with kindness in the midst of the tensions all around us.  

Luckily Jupiter is favourably aspecting Mars lending a good dose of courage and support need with the work we need to do now.   

We are still in the kala sarpa yoga and this new moon between the Rahu and Ketu the north and south nodes increasing the intensity and handing out our karmic lessons needed to move forward.  Everything feels heightened in and intense, keep in mind the nodes always magnify .

The best advice I can share is to get out and  serve and help people, lend a hand by doing some  community service however possible, create a connection with others it is very important now for us all. 

We are in the midst of clearing out before we begin the new year , it does get better in 2017.

I send you lots of love and lots  of luck

NEW MOON FORECAST NOVEMBER COMING OUT OF THE DARKNESS

This months moon cycle starts off with the New moon in Libra in the Nakshatra of Swati and with the celebration of the Dwali (The Festival of Lights) on October 30th

Swati is the Nakshatra that drives us to become an individual. It’s deity is Vayu who rules the wind (prana) making us stronger and a bit of a maverick.

The days leading up to the new moon you may have experienced frustration, confusion, fear and overall malaise, this is due to the Sun’s debilitation in Libra and the moon approaching its darkest moment, the two luminaries of the sky are not at their brightest or highest potential to lend us their strength.

Adding to this mix we can feel in conflict with our worldly desires and what we need to really be paying attention to.  Unnecessary fears arise that are imagined or distorted and resentments and anger can be easily ignited. This is due to the exact conjunction creating war between Venus and Saturn in in Scorpio.   

The positive side during this dark time is that we are reminded and encouraged to ignite our own inner light and life force, not just for celebration but in every day. The light returns to us through our devotional practice and with pranayam exercises moving the force of life and light though our entire being.

Throughout this month it is critical how we manage or energy including how we spend it and not allow our monkey mind to run us. We will have to work harder to focus and push through the fog and distraction in order to succeed.

Thankfully we have the support of Mars who will move into Capricorn in the next few days  positively effecting us with increased energy and stamina to push us to be more productive in a practical and tangible way. The Nakshatra’s in this mix will add a lot of intensity to ensure our success.

Summary

The theme of the month is to get back to basics our practice keep working our health with a real honesty and vigour. Not talk about it,  just doing the work.

We are still in the time of Kala Sarpa Yoga, karmas are being completed and we are finishing an important cycle.  We have a lot of support but we must activate it by initiating and dedicating ourselves to consistent practice and not be lead astray by our mind.  Instead redirecting with complete devotion to our own soul and to a deep and all encompassing love for who we are. The good and perceived bad, all of it.

Vata (Wind) energy is active this month due to seasonal change and the New Moon’s Nakshatra   it leads to drying out and spacing out. Contributing further to it we are spending more time indoors which leads to increased time spent on our computers  which is vata activating and with the heat turned  on it creates and fosters imbalances. To support our vitality and functionality nature comes to the rescue and provides us with foods that counter and help balance these energies.  Eat and drink warming, grounding  sweet and moistening foods. Eat good oils and use body oils almond, sesame in combination with etheric oils, such are pure sandalwood,  frankincense which are great healers and protectors. Chywanaprash and amala are good to consume now. 

It will get better and in the Full Moon report later this month we will have more positive influences

The Mantra for the Month is Ang Sung Wahe Guru 

This mantra expresses a universal truth. Repeating it creates a thought, which gradually guides the psyche to adjust itself. It re-connects every fragmented projection of the psyche, each separated part of the body, and synchronises the finite sense of self to the Infinite Oneness. This act of rejoining the separated parts is the quintessential act of healing. Under attack, under war, under the pressures of fear, this mantra keeps us together, conscious, and ready to act. It brings the inner peacefulness that comes only from the touch and scope of spirit.

Try it for 40 days 3-11 minutes a day and see what happens!

Yogi Bhajan said ‘’if you have put God outside of you, there’s nothing in you, and that’s why you’re suffering.”  “You need a reality that Ang Sang Wahe Guru, with every limb, with thirty trillion cells of you which change themselves every seventy-two hours, God is in you.”

I wish you allot of Luck and send you lots of Love

Abundance and Guidance Full Moon October 15th Vedic astrology

Abundance and Guidance are the theme for this months full moon.

The Full Moon on October 15th (PDT 9.23 pm) is in the last degrees of sidereal Pisces in the Nakshatra of Revati.

In the days leading up to the full moon we are feeling uplifted, energised and in the universal flow.  We are empowered and have a sense of divine alignment connecting us with all that is in our hearts and with our purpose.  We begin to cut out our attachments and shed what no longer serves us or supports our expansion. We are walking our truth with clarity, strength and the bounce of light.  

The lunar cycle started this month with us getting our lives in order with the Sun and Moon in Virgo assisted by the Nakshatra Hasta.  It brought the focus back to rebuilding our personal lives in order to create more stability with all of the chaos happening around us in the world.  It put the spotlight on aligning our lives with our values and what we hold dear in our hearts.

This full moon is in contrast to what is going on in the external world. Our hearts are relaxing and letting go of what is in the way of our souls journey and the tension we have held in our hearts and minds for months.  This full moon is filling us with trust that everything is going to be ok. We feel embraced, nourished and a soothing emotional support from the universe now. This Moon is so gentle and loving but filled with immense power.

The Nakshatra Revati is really the magic behind this moon doing most of the work. Revati’s root meaning is ‘She who increases prosperity, wealth and great fortune’  The her deity Pushan’s is ‘the one who guides, nourishes and brings forth wealth’.  This full moon is connected to Lakshmi the goddess of abundance and prosperity.  Considering its placement in Pisces it's wealth is coming in through spiritual wisdom and of knowing. It will feel like a rain of nectar from the heavens. 

The combination is so marvellous, its as if you have Gods direct telephone number ready to take your order and the saints and are playing your favourite songs. 

Tips

Ad Such Mantra - Aad such, jugaad such, Hai bhee such, Naanak hosee bhee such.  Yogi Bhajan recommend this for healing, centering and connecting  one with the infinite.  You can do it for 3 , 5, 11, 22, minutes a day.  Try it for 40 days!

The most potent time of the full moon for prayers being answered is the time before and the first 40 minutes of the full moon.  Make your intentions known. Meditate.

“Go inside and listen to your inner voice. Every question has an answer. Your soul is full of wisdom and knows the way" Yogi Bhajan 

The full month's report can be found here  October Forecast and the Meditation for the  Month 

I send you lots of luck , love and hugs.

NEW MOON VEDIC FORECAST FOR OCTOBER

We are getting a significant amount of help from the Heavens this month. The new Moon will awaken our inner guidance and ignite the process of regeneration and rebuilding. We will be realigned with our purpose and be given a good dose of self-confidence  and clarity. We will feel a direct connection and support from our guides as if they are standing by our side.

The  planets are providing a strong foundation and the backbone to rebuild now as we are in the  completion of a major karmic cycle.

It’s a relief and friendlier influence  this month after the Saturn Mars conjunction we had for such a long time.

The New Moon September 30th in Virgo is in the Nakshatra of Hasta (Grasping Hand). Hasta creates vision  to achieve our ambitions and bestows us with the necessary skills to achieve them. Hasta’s deity is Savita (the dawn) and  Siddha's  (magicians) are attributed with this star. The key here is using Mantra. It is described in the ancient texts that mantra is necessary to activate this stars power. 

New Moons are portals to our inner world reflecting our subconscious mind so it is critical that we use tools such as mantra and meditation to clear out and free up space for our intuition and to connect with the Divine.  Make the desire of what you want known at this time. Prayers are answered.

This combination is extraordinary for endeavors and the capacity for us to realize them. 

From the 4th Mercury, Jupiter, Sun are conjunction in Virgo. The first half of the month we are focused on getting things in order in a very positive and practical way.  The world is still in a heightened state of intensity, however we are getting down to business in pulling up the boot straps in our own individual lives to bring in more stability.  Mercury is the driver in this conjunction and it’s combust, fortunately we have the grace of the Nakshatras giving some finesse.

Venus is in Libra for the first thirteen days in the Nakshatra of Visakha.  Again here our focus will be on long-term goals. In our relationships it can represent talks of marriage/ business partnerships agreements. Very practical flavour this mix has. In an unhealthy influence it can make us obsessive. 

The 14th Venus moves in with Saturn in Scorpio under the Nakshatra’s of Anuradha and Jyeshtha These planets are friendly to each other but Saturn is a slow planet and full of restrictions. It will promote stability in our personal and business relationships and make us work where they need attention.  It is not a passionate placement it’s more dependable and Saturn’s influence will keep it conservative. 

The Sun moves into Libra on the 17th. We will feel the influence of the Nakshatra's with an increase in strength to stand on our own and out of the norm if needed. 

From the 21st Sun and Mercury conjunction in Libra until November this is known as a Bhuda Adity Yoga.  As mentioned earlier (combustion) the Sun always brightens and burns the quality of another planet it comes in contact with. However Mercury is driving this conjunction the influence is quick and supports organization, its good for business and budgeting. The Nakshatra's support will be seen in our inventiveness and individuality and finding interesting solutions.

Mars is in Sagittarius until November  which is a much better placement searching for higher ideals and higher purpose. It’s a far better way to use Mars’s energy.  The Nakshatra’s on influence helps us to uproot and remove superficial and illusory distractions it is giving us empowerment putting us in the leadership of our own lives.   Again a practical.  

Jupiter’s  placement is not supported it does however put the focus on practical issues and support healing themes the Nakshatra is helping a lot by giving us the skills we need to get it done and to take care of ourselves

Summary We are in a time of Kala Sarpa Yoga where all the planets are in the Jaws of the nodes (Rahu and Ketu) in between the axis of Leo and Aquarius

In between Ketu and Rahu is where karmas are being completed and we are finishing a cycle. Ketu in Aquarius is representing society and Rahu in Leo represents the king(dom). This is playing out on the world stage highlighting our collective duty as a society and our inner conflict with what we want from ourselves, the world and how we can best bring this about.

Saturn in Scorpio is aspecting Rahu, the effects of the aspect will show up internally where we may have unusual health issues arise or we may feel melancholy.   The good news is that at the same time it is igniting an interest in alternative health and healing therapies. 

The aspect of Saturn Rahu highlighting politics and world issues. The world at large will have an intense first two weeks of October.  On a personal level we being supported by the New Moon and the planets no nonsense let get sown to business frequency.

Mantra is really key this month, using it will free up space in our minds making our intuition work better for us. It's the technology handed to us from the Rishi’s and it works.

Lastly pay attention during the first 10 days of the month to your younger siblings, your father or teacher it can be a difficult time for them.

Remember there never is a perfect moment but you are always perfect.

I send you lots of love and lots of hugs

Single Path to Transcendence

Full Moon Lunar Eclipse on September the 16th

On Friday, September 16th we will have a Full Moon Lunar eclipse in end of Aquarius and the very beginning of Pisces in the Nakshatra Purva Bhadrapada a serious star focused on meaningful transformation.  Its symbol is a hearse more specifically the front half of it.  Its deity is a fire dragon (Naga) named Ajaikapat. Often described as a one footed goat, which really is a poetic term for lightning. Since lightning goes where it wants like a goat. 

Bhadrapada’s root meaning is blessed steps and the symbolism of the hearse is really higher awareness and transformation. 

Our renewal and rebirth are the theme, its an auspicious time but not with out sacrifice and letting go of what no longer works. When we do will get to access other-worldliness and the ability to walk between human and ethereal realms.

Shadow energies will be coming out of nowhere as karmic cycles are at work and we are learning how to change and evolve. 

What is certain is that finishing or completing things that need to come to an end and cutting ties is on our menu now. 

In the Vedic tradition it is not beneficial to look at the eclipse. So I suggest that you close the curtains, turn off the show and go within. All the light you need is there waiting for you.

Summary

We are halfway through the lunar cycle and facing an eclipse. Eclipse energies last several weeks and sometime months This eclipse is happening in the last degree of Aquarius So if your Ascendant or Moon or Sun in close to 23 + degrees or if you are born in March you will feel it the most.

“Go inside and listen to your inner voice. Every question has an answer. Your soul is full of wisdom and knows the way" Yogi Bhajan 

I send you lots of love and lots of luck

September 2016

September  Major Transits using the Vedic system  

The Cosmic Play- with no intermission

The unsettling summer of 2016 is about to take an intense new twist. With the fall season starting the at the end of this month we can learn allot from natures rhythm. As it begins to change its colours and its direction, it starts to drop its leaves and lets go. It begins it's retreat back and redirect its energy within, deep into the ground to become rock solid to prepare for the next rebirth. This is a big clue as it is a time for us as well to go within and make our state of being truly solid.  

NEW MOON SOLAR ECLIPSE in the Nakshatra of Purva Phallguni (the reddish lady) on September 1st 

It all an inside job. This eclipse represents our mind and soul. Our thinking can go outside the boundary of reality and it can misdirect us on a wrong path. It will stir up feelings of lack of emotional nourishment and it will exaggerate unnecessary fears and bring things to the surface from our past.

Saturn is directly aspecting this eclipse adding even more darkness to the effect of the eclipse. Keep in mind this all an illusion from the smoke that Rahu likes to cast in our direction. 

During this time (and the few days surrounding it) observe yourself as a spectator in this play of your own life.  Don't be manipulated by your own fear. Keep it simple and stay grounded by meditating on what is your hearts desire and what you deeply want not by what misleads us. 

On a practical and material sense it’s not a good time to start or to end anything for that matter. Anything significant in the material world that is started in the few days before and after this conjunction could turn out very strange or if it is an ending you may regret it as well.

Venus Mercury Jupiter conjunction in Virgo until the 9th Meaningful solutions. This is what is known as Saraswati Yoga in this trio Mercury is still retrograde but offers us allot of creative solutions, joy, inspiration, and sensitivity. Venus and Jupiter are both teacher planets what this conjunction gives is a great time for writing and exploring a higher purpose. 

Lunar Eclipse on the 16/17th in the Nakshatra of Purva Bhadrapada  (The Hearse )  We will be tested and transformed. It can also create allot of restlessness. I will talk more about this in the mid month update.

On the 17th the Sun moves into Virgo Clever Action. Sense of duty gets activated and getting things done, focusing on the greater good. It will also rejuvenate interest in our health and we will take care of what we have overlooked or ignored. 

On the 18th Mars moves away from Saturn Active Fortune and leadership.  Mars moves out on its own until October. It activates straightforward thinking with a good dose of humour and the return of hope.  Mars turns its sights on battles of a higher nature: culture and faith, and the protection of others. It will activate our external energy and pursuits after having so much inner dialog this month.

On the 19th Venus moves in to Libra Loveliness. Venus will be here until mid October. Bringing well-needed softness in our relationships and an easygoing attitude.  A sense of peace and balance will wash over and you will feel like connecting again with people.  Watch out for over indulgence with this influence.

 Mars and Saturn in Scorpio -until the 17th temper, temper dear… These two are joined for most of the month living together in the icy space of Scorpio.  Saturn and Mars here can expose the darker side we hide due to our vulnerabilities. It makes us face what we have not faced. Strength and resolve comes along with it and leads us to deeper insights.

Watch your health, watch your temper, face your fears and try not to make unnecessary pressure and demands on yourself or others.

Mercury retrograde Time for Pause. Mercury will be retrograde for most of the month. When Mercury retrograde occurs it simply exposes the areas of life we are neglecting and needs our attention. Yes, it also means that communications can be challenged but that is not the the best of what it is lesson is. Mercury retrograde is giving us space to make corrections and adjustments.

Jupiter in Virgo In between Commitment & Inspiration. As we know Jupiter moved into Virgo late last month and will stay here for one year. Jupiter is a giver most definitely, however Jupiter in Virgo is not always giving us what we desire it will give us what we need and reward what we have authentically worked for. It helps us to build security along with it a good dose of scrutiny. It will make us work harder, testing our teachings and our teachers, politicians and overall what we what we believe and invest in. 

On a practical note Jupiter is at odds with Saturn and when Jupiter gets on the other side of Rahu it indicates to an economic slow downs and conservatism. Take care of your planning.

September 28th Mercury Rahu and Moon (Nakshatra of Magha ) Conjunction for 2 and half days

Psychos and Geniuses. This ignites imagination a willingness to experiment and brings forth revolutionary ideas.  It opens other doors if you know what I mean................ We get a peek through the veil.  

Let me know what is brings for you.

Summary

When Sun is eclipsed in Leo it gets to the true nature of who we are, the true source of who we are, and what is our real power. It will burn off our false identity and what is not real in order to follow our authentic vision. It’s forcing you to connect with your own power

We are gathering the wisdom and the resources for the next stage of our journey. Wait until October to make big decisions, Saturn is eying the path ahead so wait just wait until next month. Saturn is helping us allot with its dose of conservatism,  patience and discipline:  Yes Saturn can sometimes be a friend. 

We are entering a period known as Kala Sarpa Yoga (The Serpent of Time) for the next several months I will talk about this in the next post for October.  

Remember without polishing how can one shine ? I wish you the best of luck this month and send you lots of love.
