Maha Shivratri - New Moon in Dhanistha (from Capricorn to Aquarius)

On this very auspicious day, Maha Shivrati (Great Night of Shiva), the celestial bodies are in perfect alignment for meditating on Shiva and his energy. This is the night that Shiva does his Tandava dance, killing the poisonous snake Kaliya and destroying darkness and ignorance in the process. This dark night of the year is when we can most overcome our own darkness (the Moon/Mind) to receive Shiva's grace. In Vedic astrology, the Moon's daily cycles of getting bigger and get

Full Moon in Sidereal Cancer | February 2023

Tomorrow at 12:29 PM CDT the Moon (connections) will be at its fullest expression in Cancer based on the sidereal zodiac used in vedic astrology. The Moon (our mental and emotional capacity) is most sensitive when it is full, allowing us to access our feeling nature and tenderness. Full of watery, emotional energy here in Cancer, and in the star constellation of Ashlesha this is where the Moon piques at capacity. Ashlesha (one meaning is the entwiner) is like the serpent at

Mercury, Mars Go Direct + Saturn Breathes | Jan 2023

Since November, Mars (strength) has been retrograde in Taurus (family), a sign that traditionally seeks stability and comfort. This has had the effect of cooling our passions and tempers and potentially grounding our tantrums. Since Taurus is an earth-based sign and is ruled by Venus (senses), responses and reactions have been more subdued. During a retrograde cycle, there's a good chance you've given some thought to old conflicts and interactions, asking yourself which ones

Mercury Retrograde | December 2022

I’m late to the table on this one, but in a funny way, it’s a little retrograd-ey given I am repeating myself. Retrogrades are often feared and blamed by those who really want to exacerbate a story or are prone telling themselves that they are subject to the whim and energy of a planet and they have no responsibility in their own lives (which essentially makes one a victim). This is not entirely true. Of the few things I can really claim to know is that (1) a story is a s

New Moon in Sidereal Sagittarius | Inspiration is Within

On December 23rd we will have a new Moon. When the Moon (our consciousness) is at its darkest, farthest from the Sun, it is called a New Moon, and it is a good time to withdraw from the hustle and bustle and hunker down for reflection and restoration. Winter solstice, the longest night of the year (or the shortest day of the year, depending on your perspective), happened just yesterday. Nature is trying to tell us that we should retreat, reflect, and find peace. We've been tr

Full Moon in Sidereal Taurus | December 2022

The Full Moon in Sidereal Taurus happens on December 7. This is where we are drawn to our creature comforts and become a little more rooted in our wants and in our homes. When the Moon (mind) moves through Taurus, it is exalted, which means that this is the best place for the Moon to express itself. When the Moon is here and it is joined with Mars, our emotional nature and sensitivity are at their highest. Mars, which represents strength, is still close to the earth (in retro

Lunar Eclipse in Sidereal Aries | November 2022

On November 8, 2022, at 5:02 a.m. CT, there will be a lunar eclipse, which is when the Earth's shadow falls on the Moon. Eclipses are a time to deepen and renew your spirituality by checking in on your alignment with your dharmic path and reminding you to go within and connect with higher vibrations. I would not put your crystals in the moonlight for recharging – this is not advised. Historically, one stays indoors during an eclipse to avoid the disconnect of the loving ill

This expression in the Shravana Nakshatra (star constellation) has the power to change the collective consciousness or opinion. This is so because Shravana and Capricorn are both ruled by the Moon, and the Moon is receptive an

Full Moon in Sagittarius: Guru Purnima

Sidereal Zodiac: According to vedic astrology, this Full Moon is in Sagittarius. Vedic astrology is linked to the vedas, yoga and ayurveda. Knowing your own birth chart (or at least your vedic ascendent) can let you know where these transits will impact or support you. (Image: Sadhguru. Photo credit: unknown.) I used to look at astrology as a way to predict and avoid complications and 'bad luck' in my life. Having found yoga in 2003 I've come to learn that my life unfolds

Saturn Retrograde | How to Work with It

We hear the word 'retrograde' and the tendency may be fear or wanting to put our heads in the sand. Many are so misinformed about how retrograde means, how to work with it and how it impacts us all. Each one of us, but differently because we are unique beings with our own cosmic blue prints. But have no fear, there is always a solution. Here is my take on this transit through October 2022. #retrograde #saturn #soulsankalpa #vedicastrology #horoscope #love #planets #yoga #

New Moon in Taurus - Venus + Rahu in Aries

Sidereal Zodiac | Vedic Astrology When the Moon (the mind) is at its darkest phase (a new Moon) we are seeding for our future, priming our experiences for this next 30-day cycle of growth. In Vedic astrology this new Moon transit is in Taurus, where we slow down and try and enjoy the things that bring us comfort (family, friends, food, music and nature). Taurus is the feminine expression (internal) of Venus (desires) and it is important that we nourish ourselves – not expect

Yes, Mercury is in Retrograde. No, Your Life Isn't Falling Apart.

(artist @rachaeldayart) MERCURY RX from MAY 10 – JUNE 3. I am aware that many will use this transit as an unformed way of proclaiming why they struggle with What Is within their lives. I see over and over that when Mercury retrogrades (appears to transit backward, but really gets closest to earth) it gets too much of the wrong type of attention based on lack of information. We must look at the whole picture, at all the details of each transit (and personal birth chart) such a

Full Moon in Magha + Planetary 'War' (or squabble?)

This Full Moon in Leo is in the Nakshatra of Magha where we are able to connect deeply with our roots, our ancestors and we may feel a swell of familial pride. The full moon is where we feel our roots and how we feel about them. Our lineage is passed down from generation to generation and in Magha (translated as the Great or the Bountiful) we are aware of those who came before us and perhaps can make a conscious draw on ancient wisdom and knowledge. One of Magha’s symbol is a

Pileup in Capricorn + New Moon Vibes

The Sun (the Self) and New Moon (the Mind and emotions at its darkest hour) join in Capricorn where we are naturally seeking structure, safety and order. In the Nakshatra (star constellation) of Shravana this is expressed with the potential of shifting mass opinions or consciousness. This is because both Moon rules Shravana and Saturn rules Capricorn – the Moon is receptive and Saturn is steady here. We may see global or mass redirect in thinking or consciousness on a parti

Today at 5:51 PM CDT the Moon will be at its fullest expression in Cancer based on the sidereal zodiac used in vedic astrology. The differences between the sidereal zodiac and tropical zodiac have to do with precise measurements, calendaring and a few other items. The sidereal zodiac is accurately measuring the distances between the stars (nakshatras) and the the planets proper. When the Moon (mind and emotional capacity) is full it is at its most reflective, giving us the
