This is a week filled with the mixture of Aries and Taurus energy.
Both these signs hold the energy of spring, and esoterically, these energies represent the coming together of the energy of your spirit (Aries) and the energy of your body (Taurus).
When Aries and Taurus combine, they lead to wellbeing, increased energy toward your goals, and heightened powers of manifestation.
As the Aries new moon energy from last weekend begins to grow and manifest new things in your life, offer yourself some Taurus energy to support it.
This week, Venus and Mercury both move from Aries into Taurus, offering you the chance to sustain, support, and ground yourself in the intentions you set for the Aries new moon.
Give yourself lots of space and grace as you travel this path this month. Uranus' presence in Taurus makes these transits important moments when you can examine, redefine, and offer compassion to yourself for the way you've responded to big shifts in the last few years.
This week’s AstroYoga posture offers invigoration and opening for the Aries and Taurus-ruled sections of the body.
ASTRO YOGA TIP OF THE WEEK
Practice plow pose (Halasana)
To practice this pose:
1. Lie on your back
2. Lift the legs to the sky at a 90 degree angle
3. Stay OR lift the hips to the hands, keeping the torso at a 45 degree angle to the floor
4. Stay OR double check that all neck vertebrae are lifted and shift the torso to a 90 degree angle
5. Stay OR bend the hips, lowering the feet behind you
PRO TIP
Check in with the vertabrae in the neck as you move into this posture. The true hallmark of an advanced yoga practice is one that is both SAFE and AWARE. As you move, make sure that all weight rests in the shoulders rather than the spine. Ideally, most bodies will have a small gap between the floor and the spine throughout this posture.
If you do practice full plow pose, be sure to follow with a fish posture!
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.
