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.
ASTRO YOGA TIP OF THE WEEK
Practice Wide Legged Seated Forward Bend (Upavistha Konasana)
To practice this pose:
1. From sitting, take the legs wide
2. Begin to bow forward from the hips a little or a lot
3. Take your arms to the floor in front of you OR clasp your hands behind your back
4. Breathe fluidly
5. Stay for some time
PRO TIP
Make sure your femur bones and pelvis are in good alignment before bowing forward. To do this, bring the hands behind the back and lift the pelvis from the floor. Spin your inner thighs down, back, and wide, and then place the pelvis on the floor. You will be seated on with the tailbone behind you and the middle part of the pelvis facing downward.
My advice on how this asana connects with astrology is general. Your personal chart will offer more specific advice on what sorts of activities could fortify your best qualities and encourage growth where there’s unrealized potential.
