Hello Friends and Future Friends,
This week is full of dense astrology, read below for more on that. As a yogi and astrologer, looking at what’s ahead this month it is really important to be embodied right now. The more sedentary we are, the more our tissues can start to tune out or lock up. If we start to loose touch with our physical self, our minds and hearts could suffer. It is a feedback loop. Get on your mat this week, with me, on your own, or with someone you trust. Go for a long walk or a bike ride. Be in nature. Take a deep breath with both feet on this Earth.
Our yoga practices this week will be focused on grounding to elevate, clearing out any scattered “mind stuff”, a bit of core work on Tuesday, and as always hips and hamstrings.

Astrology for this Week
We aren’t officially in the Age of Aquarius. We are sketching out the blueprints. Tuesday/Wednesday the Sun glides into the futuristic gathering of Aquarius, meeting Saturn, then Jupiter and Mercury.
We could be at the part of the book/movie when we realize the plot lines aren’t going to wrap up in time to finish… there’s another book or movie! We are actually in a series! Not a stand alone adventure.
Mars is moving slow right now in Taurus, that doesn’t mean it’s less powerful. It has garnered much strength with it’s unusually lengthy time in Aries, as it retrograded there last year. Almost as if the warrior planet had been training for a fight at his home base for months. His last day in Aries was January 6th. On that day he also said hello to Eris, his sister, the goddess of discord & strife. Just because, why not? All on target towards an exact conjunction with Uranus on Wednesday, January 20th.
Mars & Uranus conjunct is explosive, awakening and sudden. In Taurus ,fixed Earth, it could almost feel as if we are bursting through hardened clay. It could be alarming or it could feel like we finally got something that was stuck for months (or centuries) to move freely. Being patient with those around us is key, holding steady, standing tall in peaceful resolve.
All of this is taking place in the midst of a tornado of information. We don’t know which way to turn or trust. Mercury is aspecting both the nodes of the Moon and Neptune. Our highest Self is trying to pierce through the madness, yet illusion could weave a shroud so lovely we forget our own selves in the process. Folks with strong Neptune could be feeling this deluge more than others.
This time asks us – what makes you, YOU? Aquarius wants you, needs you, to be yourSelf and be truthful. The rest of the month continues to be a volatile process of awakening. The story is long with plot lines so different from what we have known, even compared to last year. There is so much discovery happening behind the scenes both personally and collectively. Aquarius loves the unknown, the future, and also thrives in community. Extend a hand when you can. Reach out beyond the accepted modes. Look up to the stars to feel the enormity of existence, there is so much more to come – that none of us can predict.
