Your Weekly AstroYoga Forecast
Welcome to Capricorn season! This year's Capricorn season begins with an intense energetic boost from yesterday's cosmic happenings.
Yesterday was the Winter Solstice and the Great Conjunction, and these energies are intense! The Great Conjunction marked a moment when Jupiter and Saturn came together to initiate a new, 200 year cycle.
This cycle will be marked by how well you can release what you build to serve yourself in favor of using your skills for the betterment of all people. The tricky thing is: Aquarian energy (where this conjunction falls) requires you to radically affirm yourself in order to serve others.
It may sound paradoxical (as many truths do), but the greatest service you can offer to the world is to radically acknowledge and accept the truth of who and what you are.
This means digging deeper than your assumed identities and personality traits (although those topics can be fun). This means learning to navigate what it is that holds you in a particular form (external rules, internal boundaries and structures, etc) in order to find the many ways that you are free and sovereign.
When you can radically acknowledge what is, you'll find you have heightened freedom to choose what is best for you and what is best for humanity.
My wish for you each this season: May you be happy; may you be free. May all beings everywhere be happy and free.
Ask yourself: In what ways have you felt stuck, restricted, or structured recently? In what ways have you been wishing to expand? Is there a way to navigate restrictions that allows you to feel more expansive, joyful, and free?
This week's AstroYoga pose nourishes the areas of the body affected by these transits and offers solstice grounding and integration.
ASTRO YOGA TIP OF THE WEEK
Practice Fire Log Pose (Agnistambhasana)
To practice this pose:
1. Take a seat, bending your left knee and placing the leg on the ground
2. Bend your right knee and hug your shin toward your chest while flexing your foot
3. Place your right foot on your left knee
4. Stay, or if your hips allow, lower your right knee toward your left foot
5. Stay and breathe
6. Repeat on the other side
PRO TIP
Listen to your hips! Don't force your pelvis/femur bones to go someplace they're not ready to go. Everyone's hips are different. Choose to go to a depth that feels good.
Alternately, if you're highly mobile, feel free to lean the body forward until you feel a pleasant stretch. Keep breathing to stay grounded.
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 and healing where there’s unrealized potential.
