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

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

Virgo Full Moon In Hasta Nakshatra

Goddess Gayatri

The Virgo Full Moon falls on the festival of Holi, the day of celebrating love, forgiveness, and the colors that arrive with spring. The divine love of Radha and Krishna.

The bright Moon In Hasta nakshatra ruled by the deity Savitar = The ultimate light of wisdom that awakens our consciousness (Moon) is in opposition to the Sun and Venus renewing energy in the realm of balance between self and the other, it also receives a beneficial aspect from Jupiter’s divine grace putting spirit and inspiration into our minds.

Hasta Nakshatra the star of Awareness capturing the subtleties with activated alertness of how in tune we are with the details around us. It is an awakening animated nakshatra, putting our skills to work. It brings attention to what remains to be cleaned up and healed. Sorting through the practical details and setting routines.

The energy of the Moon helps us connect with discipline and compassion as we blend our spiritual and earthly selves. The Moon gives us an opportunity to calmly and clearly gain perspective with our current state, drawing our attention to create new forms and rearrange our material wealth. It brings a clear mental perspective from both our informational mind and our sensitive mind, taking inventory and shifting resources.

Mars and Rahu in Taurus continue to make pressure with an unavoidable clash of the day of the Full Moon. Mars is the one agitated and Rahu is the dominant one. Venus in its state of exaltation helps to give strength to them both energizing them.

When Jupiter leaves Capricorn on the 4th of April is when it will get messy. It's good to know where the fire is so check in your personal chart and focus your power and problem-solving into the area of Taurus in your chart through April 13th when Mars leaves.

We all have to know our stuff, sharpen our skills so we can act quickly to compensate for the rapid changes we face.

By meditating on the brilliance, the highest source of light which may propel our minds from the material world to the subtle planes of existence. Making us stronger and clear, the desired results naturally come to us.

Oṃ bhūr bhuvaḥ svaḥ. Tat savitur varenyaṃ. Bhargo devasya dhīmahi. Dhiyo yo naḥ pracodayāt

The Gayatri mantra reveals much of the experience to be had in the Virgo Full Moon cycle.

I wish you love and luck with the Full Moon in Virgo

Reflection of Humanity Aquarius New Moon in Purva Bhadrapada

The darkness of the Moon ushers in a new cycle of changes straddling our eclectic individuality and the pathways of the transcendence. The depositor of the Moon, Saturn and the Jupiter ruled nakshatra Purva Bhadrapada highlights the Jupiter Saturn conjunction, the contraction of freedom, the tension before birth.

This section of Aquarius is filled with electricity, ruled by the mystical deity Ajaikapada, part Naga and part Rudra, the one footed goat, connected to the Kundalini Shakti, the mother channel of sudden change.

This New Moon cycle is challenging with a combination of exhaustion and hope. The Sun and Venus conjunction and Mars approaching Rahu the tension is rising. It suggests that this is not a time for making it a time for bold steps, rather a time to learn how to sort out and make things work on practical levels, so keep it organised and balanced and you’ll receive rewards for your courage in seeing the broader context. 

The planets are beginning to separate, elevating tensions, and when Jupiter moves into Aquarius next month and Mars leaves Taurus we will see beneficial changes. 

Lean into your breath and Mantra and let them work for you, as the original Rudra did to transform into the auspicious Lord Shiva. Feel the sound of divine dancing in all of your cells and elevating your frequency, create our own still point, a perfectly balanced position that keeps you aligned with your purpose, despite the chaos and distractions of the outer world, where we find our real joy no matter what.

I send you lots of love during this new Moon cycle

Leo Full Moon in Purva Phalguni

The tides of our minds rise with a surge, in the dissection of our preconceptions and desires in the center of the King's residence, the sign of Leo in Purva Phalguni nakshatra.

Dominated by the fire of the Sun, Mars and a burnt out Venus is where the creative paintings of our mind and karma of our actions are exposed to be observed. We are in a cycle where we may feel let down, feeling as though we may have made errors in the choices of our unions. The union is not limited to physical relations; it is also the union of our thoughts, beliefs, and commitments. Where we may have misjudged the power of it to bear fruit.

In opposition to the Full Moon is a combust Venus the planet of our relationships and pleasure in earthly delights. Venus now lost from view in the dawn twilight, absent and scorched by the fire of the Sun. Venus remains an important planet for us this year as she hosts her friend Rahu the change maker. Aspecting the Full Moon is an agitated Mars is pushing on our physical and mental limitations. Mars is a hungry planet searching for a solution, his energy brings brashness to the Moon expression.

Fourth from the Moon resides Ketu, digging and seeking, assessing our satisfaction, evaluating the results of where, what, and who we are plugging ourselves into? In which outlet are we receiving the juice that puts the pleasure in our step, that straightens our spine when we walk, and the courage that engages us to move forward?

During this Full Moon cycle, our relationships and our creative projects are greatly challenged and the energy can feel dampened. The lesson unfolding is of caution in the desire for union, not only the obvious physical union more importantly our emotional and mental union. What you are binding yourself to? What are you giving your lifeforce to?

With Saturn shaking Jupiter with what is real, what is true, what is reliable we remain in the throes of great changes that continue to thrash around us.

Our emotional mind longs for connection, but it is the fiery energy of our heart we need,  the place of our inner freedom, the place that speaks the truth, the place more neurons than our brain, yet we foolishly remain top-heavy.

This is the last of the Full Moons of Winter, this is where we can take the layers off and lighten our load. Embrace your journey of change and have courage, the universe always meets us halfway.

The Sculptor of Time New Moon in Capricorn February 11th

The stellium of the six planets in Capricorn captures a powerful snapshot of our new Moon cycle, the Nakshatra depositing the light of consciousness into the Moon is Dhanishta, the very beat of Shiva's drum. The Sun, Moon, retrograde Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, and Saturn all come under the aspect of empowered Rahu who is dominating the cosmic acceleration in this Kala Sarpa Yoga period. The same day as the new Moon, Venus and Jupiter and within one degree in a ‘planetary war’.

The application of our will be called upon during the New Moon cycle, with Mercury retrograde our logical and practical mind pulling us to work through our patterns and ruts, holding ourselves and each other accountable with stronger ideals, and tougher rules. With our reality as we have known it being pulverized and our world revolutionized, the practical solutions that Capricorn nurtures are in the action of making your foundation strong by developing your habits and having a clear direction, this will help to keep us all anchored. Use your habits as your roots and begin to see what is possible from a positive, creative, and directed mindset.

Access the power of Capricorn’s diligence and structure, and lay a firm ground. Dhanishta nakshatra wants proof, to make things concrete, ruled by Mars it looks for action, not words. Those who have been dedicated and with focused integrity will be rewarded with the payoff in targets set. Our vow and willpower linked with purpose is where we naturally thrive. Reflect on all of the work we’ve collectively undergone and appreciate your internal power and resilience.

The Capricorn energy continues the stronghold through April, but the gates of change are about to shift starting with the Sun crossing into Aquarius on Feb 12th where we will feel relief followed by Venus on the 21st ramping up the winds of change once again, as we peer over the precipice of great change, we might feel excitement, mixed with anxiety quite natural feelings to experience, observe them and keep yourself moving forward.

This New Moon chart is characterized by traits of mobilization and focused determination after months of slowed down stand-still and containment, this chart suggests a time when the atmosphere becomes relatively more speeded up and a time of stepping into action.

May we face our misconceptions and patterns, allowing our struggles to transform into our gifts, mastery, and crowns of accomplishment.

Room For Improvement Full Moon in Cancer

Image Eve Art

Energetic and bright, the Full Moon is filled with a strong desire for peace and clarity under the tight aspect of Mars and in opposition with the Sun and Jupiter.

The sign of Capricorn heavily weighted with four planets contained within it and only days away from Mercury’s retrograde, who will then return to Capricorn making it a total of five planets, bearing down on the collective within this full moon cycle. 

The conscious stream of light depositing the Moon is Pushya nakshatra where we find our inner source of strength, knowing the balance between decisive action and careful planning to yield us blossoming results. Luck is truly generated when our endeavours are combined with our wisdom. This is where our sense of self-trust is generated, empowering us to stand strong, break old habits, and make different choices.

Our revolution will be heart-centred and full of integrity, we are all responsible to uphold this, in the age of Aquarius. The axis of Cancer and Capricorn have held keys to our evolution where we schooled in our connection of head and heart. Giving us a better understanding of our strength, wisdom, and ability to create what our hearts truly long for.

Calmly face whatever emotions and hidden patterns that may be arising and get back to the root reasons that put you into action and begin to prepare for success.

Where ever Cancer and Capricorn are in your chart is where you will focus your attention on creating strength and stability. 

I send you lots of love and luck in the Full Moon cycle

Edgy Resilience New Moon in Sagittarius

Edgy, rife with challenges, the first New Moon of 2021 occurs at 29.04° degrees of Sagittarius in Uttara Ashadha nakshatra. Both the Moon and the Sun are approaching Saturn adding pressure and restriction, as is the active Kala sarpa yoga  ‘’the “serpent of time”, hemming all of the planets between the signs of Scorpio and Taurus

Adjacent to the new Moon is a tense conjunction of Saturn, Jupiter, and Mercury, all in Capricorn where we see a restriction in the distribution of information, and the control of our transactions. Where our rational mind is diminished and the nurturing nature of wisdom and guidance seems absent. 

Uttara Ashadha Nakshatra is a place of tension and mounting challenges, a place that grants empowerment through the application of strategy and will. The most successful fights are not won by force or firepower they are won by meeting the challenge through strategy, intelligence, and application of awareness. 

The lesson that has been delivered to our doorstep in this lunar cycle is how we combat our deep frustrations, negative feelings, and emotions that diminish our ability to engage with our logical and conscious mind so we can maneuver with skill in these dark moments. Be alert, activate your strategic self to navigate with the utmost perseverance. Be diligent, not falling prey to inverted anger. The cultivation of our vitality plays a big role in our success, it is what nourishes our mind, and our light. The first new Moon of the year lays out the year ahead and we can see this in the numerology of 2021.

Where in the year of the five our vitality of thought, our physical body, and communication are pressured to come through and shine. Our perseverance and stamina are a requirement.  Don't give in and give away your power by lowering your frequency of thought by succumbing to anger, fear, and frustration. 

I send you lots of love and luck with the New Moon cycle

Emotional Turbulence Full Moon Gemini in Ardra Nakshatra

image Nayla Alnaimi

Becoming Full at 14.44 degrees of Gemini in the nakshatra of Ardra. The Moon rules the emotional aspects of our mind and the mercurial Gemini governs our active intelligence. 

The ruler of Ardra is Rudra, a fierce form of Shiva who howls the pain of loss through the universe, our sleeping tears becoming awakened, activating a storm releasing tension into the atmosphere where we are ready to defend.

Ardra nakshatra is known to trigger events awakening the dissatisfaction, turbulent tension inside of us, communicating with force a clearer connection the intimate channel of our needs and rights, the questioning of our preconceived notions and ideas. What is the vision we are willing to support? What is the price of freedom we are willing to pay? What is true freedom?

The Sun and Mercury transiting in Sagittarius are freedom seeking planets they like to explore, experiment, and conquer. Mercury and the Sun are being deposited by a restricted Jupiter currently transiting Capricorn where the sign of Capricorn grants power to authority. The Moon in opposition to this is reflecting this energy, represents a dampened faith, diminished good and wise judgement and disconnect in the belief of a desirable outcome, that we are being led in a way that is in our best long term interest.

Sagittarius and Gemini are masculine dual signs that are the most volatile spaces because they actively want changes and don’t want to be stuck. The planet associated with Ardra nakshatra is Rahu, the north node of the Moon. Rahu in Taurus has a great weakness in its search of comfort a willingness to give in, in order to gain its desires without considering the consequences. Rahu is the naga Sankhapala indicating the home with a strong nesting instinct. This naga is showing us that we will be at war with the restrictions and authority figures who enforce them throughout 2021.

This Full Moon carries the capacity to be destructive. Yet if we hold to a high intention of making things better for all, we can extract the fierceness as fuel to take action for the highest good.

The planetary confluence of all the aspects on our minds is a lot, and for many, it may feel like its just too much. The risk with this is to become overwhelmed and bury our heads in the sand.

We are in a cycle within a cycle and the polarizing, injustice and the fight for truth continues. We are a few days from the beginning of Kala Sarpa Yoga, the “serpent of time”, the hemming of the planets are between Rahu and Ketu pressurizing events that occur through May. We can either succumb to fate or direct our destiny.
