Summer Solstice today! Longest day of the year. In cultures all over the world a sacred day of celebration. The moon lingers in Leo until the evening so it is a good day to celebreate. Mars is just beginning it's trek through Aries, so take action. Or did I already say that?:>) , take advantage of Jupiter in Scorpio adding major intensity. Remember check all communication to see that it has been received the way that you sent it.
Did you realize that to have been given a life on earth is a rare and wonderful gift in the great universe, and the gift is in the journey. Again, like yesterday, what you do you need to give up in order to go forward?
Om Shanti

The eclipse points are a vital area of the astronomy pattern to watch. They remain in the same place for 18 months. In this case they are currently in the Leo,Aquarius axis. Ketu, or the south node of the moon is the mystical psychic place. Think of it as a portal. It is also about surrender and releasing.Today the Moon is still in Leo, and sitting alongside Ketu. Observe were ego may need to be released. Ego is what causes so many problems in life. Were do you need to just forgive and let go, and swallow your pride. How important is it anyways? In the long run, your dignity will be raised it you keep your ego in check. Planets are still super great!!
Om Shanti

Mercury Retrograde! I forgot to mention that mercury went retrograde on June 15th. This happens 3x /yr for 3 weeks each time. It is a period when there are more miscommunications, accidents and general confustion. So you can expect it. It means that it is important to make sure that you are clearly understood and if you are creating any contracts or agreements be very careful..double check.
Other than that, the aspects are exceptional today. Move forward!!
Om Shanti

The Moon is with Venus and Saturn today in the nakshata of Ashlesha. Ashlesha means serpent, and refers to the kundanlini energy that rests within all of us, like a small nuclear reactor that keeps us alive really. It is Cancer which is nuturing, and it also rules sexual energy. Marlyn Monroe had loads of Ashlesha planets.
Great energy for general loving and caring- so take time to apprecitate your life and everyone in it.
The Sun and Mercury are in Gemini. Mercury is the planet of communication so is exalted in Gemini. Awesome time to write, create marketing, make calls, chat, read, travel.
Wow, Mars is now just passed into Aries now, which makes another exalted planet. It's all about action.
As an Astrologer for 20 yrs now, I can tell you the planets are not always this good. They are just so beautiful right now..take advantage, get moving on what you need to get moving on!!
Om Shanti

Moon in Gemini today making communications really effective. Mars is in the late degrees of Pisces for a few more days making us a bit lazy, but as soon as it moves into Aries the action will begin.Today is still a great day to visualize, dream and conceptualize those dreams you are want to manifest.
Om Shanti

An Overview of the Project
"Construction of the statue is not the goal - it is the method for achieving the goal. The goal is to benefit as many people as possible for as long as possible."
— Lama Zopa Rinpoche, Spiritual Director of Maitreya Project
 Throughout the world, the Buddha is recognised as a symbol of peace. Maitreya means 'loving-kindness'. The vision of Maitreya Project is to effect peace at every level of society through the practice of loving-kindness: peace within the family, the community and the world, as well as inner peace for the individual.
For thousands of years the world's enduring monuments have provided powerful symbols, reminders of society's most treasured values. During the 20th century most of the world's great buildings and public development projects have been 'monuments' to commercial interests: high-rise business buildings, airports, shopping malls, theatres and theme parks. The Maitreya Buddha statue will provide the world with a much-needed and enduring monument to spiritual values, a reminder of the benefits of creating peace at every level through practicing loving-kindness.
Maitreya Project's 500ft / 152m bronze statue will be built at Kushinagar, Uttar Pradesh in northern India. The Maitreya Buddha statue and its throne-building will provide the public with temples, exhibition halls, a museum, library, audio-visual theatre and hospitality services. All will be set in beautifully landscaped parks with meditation pavilions, beautiful water fountains and tranquil pools. The buildings and grounds of the Project will contain a remarkable and inspiring collection of sacred art.
 A public hospital of international standard will be built with the intention of supplementing the medical services currently provided by the government.
The Project already provides free education to 500 students at the Maitreya Project Universal Education School in Bodhgaya, India. Over the years, both the school and hospital will be developed and expanded to meet the needs of their communities.
Building the statue will create, both directly and indirectly, the circumstances for ongoing economic stability, as well as spiritual and social renewal, in and around the Project site.
The statue is designed to stand for at least 1,000 years, supporting the Project's spiritual and social work for at least a millennium.

Feel the energy change today? The moon is still in Taurus, and the mood is soft. The message is the same as yesterday. Focus on that which makes you feel good, that which makes you appreciate your surroundings, your look , your beauty. Make those adjustments now. The best time to start something new is 3 days after the new moon, so that is tommorrow. Make those committments now.
Om Shanti,

New Moon in Taurus today. This means the sun and moon are lined up in the constellation of Taurus. The good news is that the moon is exalted in Taurus. It is well placed. Look for the new moon for new beginnings and in this case, since Taurus rules Venus, look to new beginnings in the area of love, art and beauty. Do something to beautify your environment . Remember that your body is the temple of your soul. You cannot possibly love another more than you can love yourself. So take the time to love yourself. Honor yourself, take care. Also a good day to begin new financial ventures.
On yoga colonies we are focusing on the late Guru, Krishnamurti,
"You are accustomed to being told how far you have advanced, what your spiritual state is. How childish. Who but yourself can tell whether you are beautiful or ugly within¨¨.
Om Shanti,

The moon is moving into a new moon tommorrow which creates what is called a dark moon. The moon needs light from the sun, and in the new moon there is no light. The universe is like the yin yang symbol , made of light and dark. The dark is introspection and yin energy. Today the moon is in the final stages of it´s journey, still in the fire sign of Aries so the energy is charged, but it quietens down tonight as it ´goes new tommorrow. Again, I can´t stress how nice the planetary energy is at this time, nothing hindering progress. Trust your instincts, remember, Feelings are a guiding tool for us.
Om Shanti

In support of Vancouveryoga.com
Vancouver Yoga is a great site. Insiya and Eoin are doing a fantastic job, not only with the site, but in the type of class that they are taking around the country. Here in Whistler, at Neoalpine Yoga studio, we were recently lucky enough to have this dynamic duo breeze into town and turn our little yoga community on our heads!
Being a mountain resort we are all a pretty fit group and Eoin gave us a run for our money! His combination of yoga, karate, and surfing moves combined with great music and Eoin´s infectious personality has us all sweating, and smiling. Not to mention the blessing of having the presence of the lovely and gracious Insiya in the class along with us.
Yoga colonies supports Eoin and Insiya and Vancouver yoga!

Moon is with Mars in Pisces, which creates a great artistic portal. Get into music, dance, cook, garden, or just smell the flowers. Great for introspection.
Mercury is in Gemini exalted, so this time can turn your passions into rational thougths of manifestation. Watch The Secret again! Take 100% responsibility for your world.
The planets are just beautiful!

Moon, Uranus and Rahu are together today creating unstable explosive energy. Use it wisely to quicken change or implement new ideas, but remain cautious. Remember everything in our universe is energy, and wellbeing is based on our own energetic fields being cleared. This is the gift that yoga offers' the ability to rebalance the energetic flow within our own bodies.
For Aquarians you will be reminded of how much change you have had to endure in the past little while! For Leo, you may be wondering how much more you can surrrender.

The moon is in Dhanista today-the star of learning. The beauty of yoga way of life is that there is always something to learn. Today think of the ayurvedic approach to life. Think of the body as a clay pot. In order for the pot to be strong enough to hold water,( we are more than 80% water) all of the elements need to be balanced. The moon will move into Aquarius midday were it will be for with Uranus for a few days. Stagnation will turn into movement. Expect the change you want-be the change you want to see.

The Moon is in Capricorn today in drishti (opposite) to Venus in Cancer. This provides a nice opportunity to examine the balance between your home life and your business/school life. Nobody lies on their death bed and says, boy I wish I would have worked more. On the other hand if your work is linked with your passion, then it is not work. As we evolve on the yogi path, we need to detach more and more to having our feelings rule our existence. They are guideposts to keep us on track, but not meant to overrun our lives to the point of being off balance. This is a challenge. Today is a great day to take a step in gaining balance in that area.

Today I want to talk about the fact that Uranus has been with Rahu for some time and sometime to come.Rahu is the current eclipse point and always causes openings. If any of you have any planets in Aquarius you have recently been subject to many changes. The most intense period has passed but for those with their Moon or Sun in Aquarius this period lasts for another 10 months. Embrace change.
There is a fresh energy for arranging finances. Take on the project fondly and know that your financial situation should not have such a huge impact on your emotions.
With the Sun coming up to an exact oppostion to Jupiter is it time to examine your relationship to were you are too rigid. On the other hand honor yourself and others for loyalty that is combined with pure love.
The energy is great for laughs today. Make somebody laugh and your will laugh.
Om Shanti
