A BRILLIANT, CONFUSED, INTUITIVE MIND, March 25-April 1

THEME: BRAIN ON FIRE SEES THROUGH THE EYE OF THE HEART

THE STORY:   Last week, I asked ‘what sort of a cell tower were you constructing to receive and emit incoming and outgoing messaging.’ This week, the nerve-fretwork is fired up with synchronistic brain synapsing. You might be shocked and let down by incoming news, but you will also find brilliant new ideas offered through surprising anomalies. Indeed, “whaaaat the fook-moments” from intuitive-ahaaaa’s open new doors. Nerve endings need to be soothed and creamed. Pamper yourself with the silence that comes from time off the grid: Less phone, TV, and computer.

On March 28, the befuddled world is close to finishing up the three weeks of a very confused Mercury Retrograde. I hope you have gained in spiritual connection, sympathy, and creativity, all promoted in Pisces, especially with Neptune as leader. If you have been dealing with details, a business plan, and tight scheduling, you deserve sympathy. On Thursday, with Mercury’s standstill station, the ‘Sky-Jokster flips us a last great bird with a semi-square to Uranus. This connection creates angst-energy between higher mind/Uranus, and lower mind/Mercury. Because of their travelling speeds and Mercury’s standstill, they repeat the contact again Friday., offering double blasts of disruption and uncertainty.

Unfortunately, this chaotic influence is not confined to just Thurs. and Fri.. We are in it as I write, and it lingers through beginning of April. My advice, to myself, is to have back up plans. Flexibility on every level is growing more and more necessary. Because sleep may be an issue, plan to take more time before closing-down the day: disconnect earlier, more time in Shoulder Stand, the queen of sleep-pose. You want supportive information? Make time to be still and listen. Along with the angst, are gifts of insight and high-level-download. This is a good time to ask, then stay alert for expansive consciousness to inform. Information may arrive in weird, unexpected ways. Be open to the mystery and the magic of your life!

YOUR BIRTHDAY WEEK: As an Aires, you enjoy speed and daring-do, and your courage leads the way for so many of us, but this year you may slow down to choose a different path. It will likely involve something from your past. Because your vision is expanded, and very creative, you have muscle to master a new art form, woven of past and present. This ‘art form’ also involves you, your solar radiance and worldly identity. which is moving toward greater healing. There is a new foundation ready for pouring. As stated above, it’s very important for your soul muse to take time out to re-set by writing, meditation, walks in the woods, listening to music….In short, taste the luxe flavors woven into this insightful beginning.

YOUR PRACTICE: We continue the theme of bringing ritual front and center to the Practice. This connects inner body with outer, and higher brain to lower., masculine to feminine. All classes this week work with grounding the body, so that brains withstand the high magnetic charges, and bodies can put the excessive vroom of the electromagnetic field into practical action.

A key pose in working with the 6^th chakra, this week’s inner focus, we re-define outwardly through Salamba Sarvangasana/Shoulder stand. For informative notes go to: yoga /yoga poses /inversions. Working with the 6^th chakra, open to the Ajna, or Third Eye. Here we balance and re-direct with greater integrity and understanding. Its element is ‘mahat,’ or the great element in which all other elements are present in pure essence. Its seed sound/bija is “Aum,” the vibration connecting human to Universal Source. It is depicted as a two-petaled lotus, representing the polarization of the mind, and it’s meeting place. It is here we open our visualizations, intuition, and ‘self purpose.’
