Your Weekly AstroYoga Forecast
This week, get ready for a watery infusion. Neptune, the planet of dreams, illusions, and disillusions, is moving direct in Pisces this Saturday. Neptune has been retrograding since June, so this is a big shift.
Neptune rules Pisces, which is the sign of art, music, mysticism, meditation, spirituality, and deep inner/transcendental work. This retrograde was all about digging deep into the fabric of collective and individual reality.
As Neptune retrograded, the questions of illusion and disillusion were able to be seen for what they were. This was a time of collective and individual questioning of the narratives and half truths believed in the past.
As Neptune prepares to turn direct only moments before a full moon/eclipse, this is a moment of great potential energy to create major shifts in our perspectives on fluid reality.
To harness the energies of this Neptunian eclipse moment, ask yourself:
Are there narratives or truths you've been accepting that seem off in some way?
Where have you been accepting partial truths or false narratives in your life?
Are there ways you can align more fully with truth on every level, from your soul's deep truth to the universal truths of nature?
Where have you been accepting narratives pushed by others rather than the observable truths of your own reality?
This week's AstroYoga pose nourishes the areas of the body affected by these transits.
ASTRO YOGA TIP OF THE WEEK
Practice Revolved Hand to Big Toe pose (Parivrtta Hasta Padangusthasana)

1. From standing, shift weight into your left foot and pick your right leg up
2. Bend your right knee and EITHER place your left hand on the outside of your right knee OR grab the blade of your right foot with you left hand
3. Straighten your knee any amount
4. Twist to your right and extend your right hand behind you
5. Stay, balance, and breathe
6. Repeat on the other side
PRO TIP
The nature of yoga (and life) is pulsation. Can you find the natural dance between how much you draw your energy into your midline and how much you expand out into your periphery? Can you press down to the earth while rising equally to the sky?
These daces of energy are the keys to sustaining this posture for any amount of time. Can you feel the ways that self each action is necessary to hold the posture?
