Your Mind is Power: Astrology Forecast for March and April 2021

This week, Mercury travels through the end of Pisces and into Aries. Mercury is the planet of thought, communication, and the mind, and this transit is a brief, but powerful moment when you can get right within your own head.

If you've been swimming in thoughts, feelings, and communication patterns that shift from manageable to overwhelming in unexpected ways, now is a moment when these patterns can shift.

When Mercury enters Aries this Saturday, a two-week period begins when you can begin to move the mind easily using the power of your intention and your attention. 

If you consciously engage with this Mercury transit, questions about where you stand will be clairified, and you'll be able to direct your thoughts, actions, and life energy into concentrated, positive directions. 

This has the ability to take you where you want to go and to offer you comfort as you recognize your simultaneous individuality and connection with the universe. 

Ask yourself where you want to go and what you want to do. If you simmer in this question through Saturday, clarity will begin to emerge from within your own spirit.

This week’s AstroYoga posture offers opening, flow, and connection for the channels of this transit.


ASTRO YOGA TIP OF THE WEEK 

IMG_5891.jpeg

Practice standing wide-legged forward bend (Prasarita Padottanasana)

To practice this pose:

1. Take a wide stance
2. From the pelvis, fold forward with a long spine
3. Either place the hands under the face OR grab the big toes with the pointer and index fingers
4. Stay and breathe

PRO TIP

Use this posture to take a new perspective this week. Things have been shifting for everyone, and this pose can simultaneously invigorate and restore if performed with a balance between simplicity and length. Take it easy to balance the energies of the zodiac and this week's planetary influences.

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.

Mercury Retrograde's Last Moments (this time)

Welcome to your last week in Mercury Retrograde for a while. There's a lot shifting this week before Monday's full moon in Virgo when Mercury begins to move direct again.

Tomorrow, Venus enters Taurus and Mercury reenters Aquarius for the second time this year. This particular planetary configuration serves as a reminder that love must be lived through action and expressed no matter what upheavals come your way. At the same time, thoughts must be examined with the greater good in mind.

Pisces Theme 2020: Head and Heart Integration

There's a lot going on in Pisces right now, and the message it's sending is to learn to balance the head and the heart.

Sunday marked a New Moon in Pisces, and right now the Sun and Mercury are conjunct (next to each other) in Pisces while Mercury retrogrades toward Aquarius.

In astrology the Moon rules the emotions; Mercury rules the intellect/expression; and the Sun rules our individual self (read: ego). All of this happening in intuitive, sensitive Pisces is causing a conversation about what it means to truly think, communicate, and care.

Now is a moment when reflection is key: how do you accurately express what is in your heart? How can you put into words those wordless truths you intuit? What is the relationship between your ego, your head, and your heart? Do you either favor one or suppress one?

Welcome to 2020 Pisces Season

This year, Pisces season begins with Mercury Retrograde in Pisces and Mars moving into Capricorn.

Here is a moment when the desire to work with zest and vigor is paradoxically paired with a need to slow the mental and social chatter that we often mistakingly associate with achievement and work.

Lucky for you, the Sun is moving into Pisces to illuminate some key truths in the zodiac. Pisces season reminds us that the fluctuations of our mental state aren't the true form of consciousness. It's by exploring your depths beyond the chatter of the mind (memories, thoughts, surface emotions, and distraction techniques) that you can access the depths of your inner voice.

When you abide in your inner consciousness rather than your mental chatter, you'll have a direct line of access to your deepest wisdom and your innermost guide.

Mercury Retrograde and Mars are about to Dance the Cosmic Dance

Do you ever have feel two seemingly conflicting drives at the same time? For example, the desire to rest paired with the desire to work, or the desire for connection paired with the desire for solitude?

Well get ready, because the zodiac can experience that too. This Sunday Mars enters hard-working Capricorn at the same moment as Mercury begins to retrograde through Pisces.

What this means is that the drive to achieve your goals and to face those big challenges you've been working through will show up with renewed vigor in the same moment that the mind has a deep desire to rest, renew, dream, and restore through associative connections and free-form fantasy.

These simultaneous urges may seem like an odd couple, but they're here to show you something important.

Floating in the Ocean of Consciousness

There's a metaphor in yoga that we're all floating in the sea of consciousness. It has many esoteric meanings, but one simple realization is that we're all connected by conscious energy and that we are not stagnant, but are pushed and pulled by the tides, currents, and waves we align with.

This is huge this week. As the transits continue, it's time to tap into your fullest self and align every single part of you (even those parts you sometimes want to push aside) with the current of passion, love, and emotional truth.

In our culture today, passion, love, and emotional truth are sometimes misconstrued as simply romantic topics. While they have an application there, the deeper truth in these topics can point you toward your own truest nature. Their deeper truths can show you your path forward. Their deeper truths can inspire your most heartfelt actions.

What's sparking this? Yesterday, Mercury moved into Pisces; Friday, Venus moves into Aries; and Sunday is a full moon in Leo. These transits will affect each chart in a specific way, but for everyone: align with your truest will. Listen inward, and allow your fullest form to emerge.

Does the World Seem Crazy? Your Weekly AstroYoga Forecast

Change is the Only Constant

There have been a lot of transits lately (and more to come) so you may think the world is going crazy or that you live in a dream!

Yet, the world has always been crazy; now is just the moment to notice it. You may find yourself marveling at how many "normal" things don't make sense at all, from fashion to healthcare to social norms! And then there are those things that don't make sense because they're shocking (or downright horrifying).

What to do? Pay attention, and align with reality as it is (yet continue to notice when things seem out of alignment).

This week, you're invited to let a little more grace flow into your life. Yesterday, Venus was conjunct Neptune causing dreaminess, and Mercury is spending his last week in inquisitive Aquarius, drawing the collective intellect into questioning mode.

Integrate, Integrate, Integrate

Wow-wee! How are you feeling? The last few days have seen some major shifts in the zodiac, and this week your task is to begin integration.

To recap the shifting energies: There was an eclipse on Friday; Uranus is now direct after a 5 month retrograde; Saturn, Pluto, and the Sun hit a major conjunction; and Venus is now in watery Pisces.

Does that seem complex? Here's the short of it: now is a moment to integrate deep transformation in the practical areas of life. Bonus points if you can generate a little more compassion for yourself (which will inevitably transfer to those around you).

Earth Energy is Asking You Something

Have you been feeling the pull toward the practical lately? This first week of January marked an astrological time of SO MUCH EARTHINESS.

In astrology, earth relates to those practical things: work, money, environment, relationships, responsibilities, etc. If you've been feeling pulled toward addressing any of these areas, you're right on track.

Fortunately for all of us, addressing these areas doesn't equate to having the answers. In fact, with the current transits through earth, it's likely you've identified challenges but not solutions yet.
