Taurus season is here, and this one has A LOT going on. Yesterday, Mercury and the Sun entered Taurus, creating a stabilizing effect on the energizing energy from the start of spring.
Later this week, Mars enters Cancer (Friday), and the Full Moon in Scorpio opens up a major portal for potential healing and release (Monday).
These coinciding transits make the energy this week palpably rife with the potential to translate emotional healing (and purging!) into physical, manifest beauty and abundance.
This comes with a caveat, as in order to receive the deep benefits of emotional release and manifest up-leveling, you have to be willing to move through the depths of your own shadows.
Notice the full range of emotions from love to anger to grief to peace. Remind yourself that you are courageous enough and present enough to feel them one by one.
Mars in Cancer supports you in your ability to honor, nurture, and care for your inner state, but make sure this manifests as true care and not as hiding from yourself or your purpose.
This is a good week to take some time to reflect, pause, and heal. You can do it.

This week’s AstroYoga posture supports the Taurus, Cancer, and Scorpio-ruled sections of the body.
ASTRO YOGA TIP OF THE WEEK
Practice puppy pose (Uttana Shishosana)
To practice this pose:
1. Come to table top position (hands and knees)
2. Walk the hands forward and begin melting the heart toward the earth
3. Either keep the torso away from the floor, rest the forehead on the floor, or place the chest and chin on the floor (according to your comfort and flexibility)
4. Stay and breathe
PRO TIP
Allow the lower back and hips to widen as you enter this back bend. Allow the backbend to take place more in the upper back. This is a great posture to begin to open the more fixed vertebrae in the upper thoracic spine, so give yourself time and space here to allow them to open!
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 where there’s unrealized potential.
