Your Weekly AstroYoga Forecast
Yesterday marked the Total Solar Eclipse/New Moon in Sagittarius, and with it came an influx of Sagittarius energy that will be available for use in the coming six months.
This week, the Sun moves toward the Solstice which is Monday, Dec 21. This Solstice is particularly intense because it coincides with a Great Conjunction in Aquarius.
'Great Conjunction' refers to the moment when Jupiter and Saturn meet in the sky. This happens every 20 years, but this one is extra special for a couple reasons.
With one exception, this is the first time a Great Conjunction has been in an air sign for 800 years. It's also the closest these planets have ever been in 800 years. (Fun fact, from our vantage point on Earth, Saturn appears closer to Jupiter than some of Jupiter's own moons!).
This energy is MAJOR, and it's up to you to consciously integrate this major event into your life. How to integrate these energies? Explore these major themes:
Jupiter offers expansion while Saturn offers boundaries and restrictions. How can you expand yourself by creating your own structures and boundaries (rather than abiding by those rules and regulations given to you by another)?
This energetic dynamic in Aquarius asks you to innovate beyond what's been done before. Are there outside-the-box solutions to challenges you've been facing? When barriers pop up, can you innovate in order to expand beyond them?
If you have your chart, check out where Capricorn and Aquarius begin. These will show you where and how these energies are most likely to affect YOU.
This week's AstroYoga pose nourishes the areas of the body affected by these transits and offers deep rest for the Solstice.
ASTRO YOGA TIP OF THE WEEK
Practice Supta Baddhakonasana (the Reclined Bound Angle Pose)
To practice this pose:
1. Lie on your back
2. Place the soles of your feet together and allow your knees to open wide (blocks or pillows are an option under the knees)
3. Place one hand on your heart and one hand on your low belly
4. Stay still for several minutes, watching your breath
PRO TIP
Get as comfortable as possible and do nothing. Allow your mind to follow sensations through your body. What is arising from your tissues into your consciousness?
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.
