9.17.24 FULL MOON ~ Partial Lunar Eclipse in Pisces ~ Purva Bhadrapada Nakshatra

PISCES ~ VIRGO AXIS

This eclipse is happening in the natural 12th house in sidereal Pisces, which holds the water and akash elements. A lot of activity is happening in Virgo, the natural 6th house. Pisces is associated with natural endings, conclusions, and loss. Virgo relates to health, healing, medicine, illness, service, the Earth, debts, challenges and conflicts. The virgo-pisces axis of these eclipses may stir up a maelstrom of feelings and inner storms, deeply churning what needs to shift as well as attention to health needs, material matters and endings. In our outer world, there’s also been lots of attention on the economy, politics, intense storms, fires, and floods leading up to this eclipse.

September 2, 2024 ~ New Moon in Leo ~ Purva Phalguni ~ Creative Energy

What are you creating in your life? This new moon is in Leo, in Purva Phalguni nakshatra, the one holding the Prajanana Shakti, a highly creative energy relating to both artistic creations, romantic and sensual pursuits and procreation. Phal means “fruit” and can refer to the child as the fruit of the womb, the fruit of the procreative union or even the fruits of creating beautiful, artistic things in the world. Madonna has both her Lagna and Moon in Purva Phalguni.

The animal of Purva Phalguni, or yoni, is the female rat. The rat is the attendant or vahana (vehicle) of Ganesha, the remover of obstacles.

FULL MOON in AQUARIUS ~ DHANISTHA Nakshatra 8.19.24 11:18 AM EDT

*Mercury is Retrograde till August 28

Dhanistha nakshtra lies within the constellation of Delphinius, the dolphin. It spans the area near sidereal Capricorn and Aquarius. Shaped like a drum or diamond, with the  drum and flute as it’s symbols. Both are hollow vessels and connect to dancing, music, rhythm, movement, athleticism, action, and listening to the beat and inner rhythm of the heart. Dhanistha is  connected to the drum of Shiva, especially since this full moon falls at the end of the month of Shravan, sacred to Shiva. During this time, it’s said that the cosmic ocean was churned and Lord Shiva drank the poison that came up in order to protect all of the universe.  As a result of consuming the poison, his throat turned blue.

August 4, 2024 NEW MOON in Cancer - Ashlesha Nakshatra 7:13 AM EST *Mercury will be stationing retrograde today

At the moment of the New Moon, the Sun, Moon and Ascendant are all in Ashlesha nakshatra. With Mercury just over the other side of the gandanta in Leo - in Magha nakshatra, it’s bridging the gandanta zone of Ashlesha-Magha, and connecting those energies. Mercury stations retrograde on the new moon, and also happens to be the planetary lord of Ashlesha.

JULY FULL MOON in Capricorn ~ Uttara Ashadha Nakshatra 7.21.24 6:17 AM EDT

GURU PURNIMA is a day that honors special spiritual teachers in our lives and is the birthday of Veda Vyasa who wrote the Mahabharata and Bhagavata Purana.

Uttarashadha is associated with the Sun and the Viswadevas, all the deities mentioned in the Rig Veda which help to guide us on our spiritual and earthly path. Uttarashadha’s Shakti is to be invincible and have unchallenged victory and winning of resources. It gives perception and intelligence through the light of the Sun.

Aditi, the universal earth mother is connected with the energies of Punarvasu. She is fertile and protective of all of her many children. She helps us connect to life on Earth through foundational things like housing, food, nourishment, protection and knowledge. She also protects travelers. She is similar to Pachamama in being the cosmic mother of all creation.

Friday June 21, 2024 is Summer Solstice ~ Full Moon in Mula Nakshatra   *all positions are sidereal

It’s the longest day of sunlight here in the northern hemisphere and a powerful full moon in Mula. Mula’s located in the densest section of the milky way as the root and origin point. Mula consists of nine stars, located at the end of the tail of the scorpion in Sagittarius. Mula as the root, the void, it’s hidden and full of mysteries, full of Shakti and connected to divine feminine energies.

NEW MOON IN ROHINI NAKSHATRA on Thursday, June 6, 2024

This time of year in the northern hemisphere is lush with nature’s effulgence, full of greening and blossoming beauty. Rohini, lies within sidereal Taurus and it’s star (tara) is the large, bright Red star Aldebaran associated with fertility. Rohana Shakti has to do with growing, climbing, healing, sexuality and fertility. This is the growth of all of creation, the descent of energy into matter. Whether in your personal sadhana, meditation, ceremony or however you connect with the Sacred~ this is a beautiful time to be mindful and connect to the sacred Earth and all of creation. Consider looking into how to help with the climate issues we are all facing on our Mother Earth, Bhu Devi, Pachamama.

Exploring healing consciousness through Distance Healing, Channeled Healing and Shamanic Healing can also open these gateways to healing gently, without relying on assistance from plants or other chemicals. Walk through the doorways in your consciousness and work to find your own entry points into the subtle realms within you.

Channeled healing is a distance healing - energy healing offering that’s evolved out of my work over the 20+ years through working with various modalities like Acupuncture and East Asian Medicine, Energy Healing, Shamanic Healing, Maya Spiritual Healing, Cranio Sacral Therapy, and so on. All therapeutic modalities have the potential for channeling to occur, in my experience. As a channel, my body is a pathway for me to connect to energies and facilitate the healing process by allowing energies to move through me in a way that connects to my client while held in a sacred space where energetic protection has been called in. One way to describe it is entering a trance-like, semi conscious state during the session that allows energies and energetic beings to do their work. It’s like being in the back seat and allowing someone else to drive temporarily. Since the mental, emotional, physical and spiritual are interwoven, holding one or several intentions is okay and the work will unfold how it is supposed to.

LUNAR NODES ARE CHANGING SIGNS

This eclipse marks the shift of the lunar nodes, Rahu and Ketu, who eclipse the sun and moon each year.

Approximately, every 19 months, Rahu, the north node and Ketu, the south node shift backwards into the next signs. They always move in retrograde motion…and you may notice that you go through cycles in your life according to the nodal shift, it can feel closer to 2 years but tends to align with the energy of the nodes and the houses (bhavas) signs they land in. Currently, the nodes are at 0 degrees. This crossing for Rahu is at the border of Revati nakshatra and Ashwini nakshatra as rahu is moving out of Ashwini (in Aries) and into Revati (in Pisces). Ketu is moving from the Libra portion of Chitra nakshatra into Virgo portion). Chitra nakshatra is ruled by the celestial architect, Tvashta.

HOW DISTANCE HEALING CAN HELP WITH GRIEF, SADNESS AND LOSS

Distance energy healing (channeled healing or shamanic healing) can help you to tap in to something deeper inside yourself away from the day to day, and source insights and energy from within yourself. Nurturing this deeper connection with your inner self can help you to move through the cascade of physical and emotional experiences when you are dealing with sadness, grief and loss.

By now,  you’ve probably at least heard of energy healing. Maybe you’ve experienced distance healing, are familiar with it, or open to the idea that healing is more than the physical, in-person and seen with your eyes-only. Distance healing can help us access and explore working with our energy anatomy. Our energetic bodies intertwine with our physical and the meridians, acupoints, nadis, nawis, and chakras serve as the roadways and centers that move, center, and put us in contact with our deeper selves and new perspectives on healing.
