April 28-Cinco de Mayo

Many of us are facing decisions of trust, or not to trust.  It feels that the Universe opens, invites us onward, then sets up a roadblock or two.  Here to help is Mars in Taurus, which is slow, steady, practical action.  In taking on the new, step by step, we don’t pokety-poke fears, and we provide greater emotional support toward trust.  Taurus, being of the earth, is not prone to bullshit or flights of fancy, which helps quell anxiety.

On Wednesday, Mars quintiles Neptune, which is a connection offering greater faith, even magic.  Another energy offering peace and spirit a bigger voice is Neptune sextile the Sun.  The problem with Neptune is it can make us feel tired, and lost, despite spirit’s expansion.  If we can stay grounded via Mars~especially through the body, we can ride the roller coaster of opposing mental energies that build toward the weekend. Stay centered as you view your options, don’t let extremes of pessimism or exhilaration whip you around.

We are building toward the Scorpio Full Moon on Sunday, 3rd so it’s a great week for ‘recalculando.’  Read your Daily Breath.  Allow this week’s energies to encourage and move you forward as guides to clearing and releasing old garbage holding you back.  A Full Moon in Scorpio is profound, asking for the roto-tiller to spiral deeply within.  The more we let go anxiety and fear, the more energy we create to move forward.

Classes this week are yang, working the Mars/Taurus energy; slow steady, strong, relentless.  We balance the power-poses with moments of magic, where we invite spirit to inhabit the breath, and song to open the heart.  We will listen to the wisdom of the body as it balances over-wrought mental machinations.  We shall envision  what this Full Moon may reveal to us under its greater light.

Can’t wait to see you on the mat!
