Sagittarius Season and Your Weekly AstroYoga Forecast for 11/26/2019

Welcome to Sagittarius Season!

So much is happening this week: yesterday, Venus entered Capricorn; today, there's a new moon in Sagittarius, and tomorrow Neptune ends his retrograde period. And, to top it all off, this is Jupiter's last week in Sagittarius until the year 2030.

What does it all mean? 

Essentially, this astrological moment is offering you an opportunity to face your major challenges of the year with new eyes. How can you examine your major stressors with love, gratitude, and heightened awareness?

Mars in Scorpio, Mercury Retrograde, and Your AstroYoga Forecast for 11/19/19

Goodbye, Mercury Retrograde; Hello, Mars in Scorpio!

Today, Mars moves into Scorpio, one of his favored places in the zodiac, and tomorrow, Mercury turns direct. This is a big shift in the energy of this Scorpio Season.

If you find Scorpio's deep, intense energy comforting (finally everyone is facing how they really feel), then this energy shift might feel great to you. But if you're one to shy away from confrontation (or to choose it selectively), this might feel like an unwelcome burst of intensity.

Whether you naturally enjoy this sort of energy or not, I suggest taking a few deep breaths to create a container for whatever you experience. Your reality isn't something to either force or avoid. Your reality simply is, and your only job is to experience it as you are.

Taurus Full Moon Right Now!

Today is the Taurus full Moon; in fact, it's happening right now (as this email is being sent out)!

Full moons represent the culmination of a cycle, and a moment when something that's no longer necessary can be released. With this full moon in Taurus opposite Mercury during his retrograde, you can be sure that this moon may shed some light on thought/communication patterns that no longer serve you in practical ways.

Are the ways you think and communicate compatible with your daily life? How do your deeply set patterns interact with the environment, your home, and others? Are there any thought patterns you've developed in response to trauma/injury that leave you more connected to past hardships than present reality?

The AstroYoga pose of the week opens the body and draws connections from the area of the body ruled by Scorpio to the area ruled by Taurus.

Big Shifts in the Stars

A lot is shifting in the stars right now: Mercury has entered retrograde, Venus is in Sagittarius, and Jupiter is finishing his final few weeks in his Zodiac home of Sagittarius.

But what does all of this mean? 

This Sagittarius/Scorpio energy hybrid in the sky is whispering that in order to deeply understand all things (or anything), you must fist deeply understand yourself. 

Mercury retrograding in Scorpio invites deep inquiry into your shadow emotions, while Venus and Jupiter in Sagittarius remind you that beauty, elegance, understanding, and playfulness abide even in the midst of shadow times.

How to Integrate the Aries Full Moon

Last weekend's full moon cast light on several areas, and you're probably still feeling it today.

This full moon brought up some shadowy aspects of the self, and you may have felt an emotional and physical shift. Take note how you're interacting with yourself this week--has anything changed for you?

Yes, it's really happening...

Astrologically, things have been shifting this week. From Saturday's new moon in Libra to Saturn finally moving in a direct motion, things have been shifting in everything from the weather to politics.

What you need to know: the new moon in Libra started a new cycle, one which draws you toward actions that create harmony, balance, and mutual understanding.

This new moon, coupled with the moon's motion into Scorpio and Sagittarius this week, invites you to ground down as you reach out toward others.

Libra Season and Your Weekly AstroYoga Forecast for 9/24/19

Welcome to Libra Season (er... Autumn)

Yesterday was the Autumn Equinox, which means it's finally Libra Season!

Each year, Libra Season shows up to remind us that everything in life must have balance. What goes up must come down, and we as humans have to find balance among many, many things: speaking and listening; going out among others and exploring deep within ourselves; thinking and feeling; nurture and growth.

This year, Libra season is here not just to balance these ever-present challenges, but also to draw our attention to one of the major astrological challenges of the year: Pluto and Saturn in Capricorn. Libra energy squares this energy to remind you that those challenges that you've been bumping up against this year deserve a little balance as well.
