DAILY 
In honor of this week’s looking back mantras, I’m re-constructing a new format from the old. (My continuous efforts to cull wheat from chaff). Highlights first, and thoughtful meanderings after. Please send feedback.)
NOTABLE ENERGIES:
- We are reassessing, and re-calibrating ideas and dreams born of last week’s New Moon. Since that new cycle began in Aires, we have been offered conscious, and unconscious, intention to grow more courageous. This week’s First Quarter Moon is an opportunity to step out of the shadow of well-worn habits and stand tall in warrior-mode, sword in hand. By the weekend, this will be needed as we enter the land of challenges and difficult choice.
Try to bow graciously as you take on greater responsibility, duty, hard work, and letting ambition stir the cockles of your heart. Most of us will do battle with feelings of being ‘mewley and weenie of spirit’. Saturn, as ‘the great Taskmaster,’ moves to Retrograde motion on Thurs. 6th, marking this week with a ponderous tempo.
Take time to back up computers, I-phones; double check important agreements, (especially as Venus continues Retrograde); and add extra time for travel plans. If you wish to re-connect to old friends, this is a providential time with both Venus and Mercury Retrograde. If you don’t find them, they will find you. Mercury is slow as it prepares for Sunday’s Retrograde-full stop. (Remember, during the three weeks of Mercury Retrograde, be particularly leery of signing important documents, especially in partnership, buying cars, and/or tech-equipment, unless you have a sound return policy.
The weekend will be highly un-predictable, and possibly inflammable, so get affairs in order now. A power-grouping of the bad boys exaggerate and aggravate desires to move forward in bossy, manipulative manner, especially when working with others. The already amplified Venus issues of: relationship, love, money, value, self-worth are brought to task as Saturn squares Venus demanding that we are clear, concise and aware of her needs, then do the work necessary to take care of, and clean up old business. (Retrograde Saturn challenging Retrograde Venus.)
Next week, (April 9-16) when both Mercury and Venus move inward, and confuse the issues, take time for reflection. Seek trajectories of what and who matter in your life, ask why. Try not to take action, despite goading. Rather, listen to what song the heart wants to sing, and your feet want to tap. If you’re not hearing anything, then now is a truly divine time to do something about it. Regenerate soul-longings of what and who bring you wholeness, comfort, and joy. Connect old circuits to new as you regenerate, and acknowledge who you have become.
Your Practice: Last week you worked on a new pose~dailybreathjournal.com/Yoga/poses. This week, review not only that pose, but others that offer you emotional sustenance. You don’t have to know why. We have become highly intellectual, and tech-crazy. Call your Practice be a balance. Inhabit feeling over thinking. Sit and listen to where your body wants to go. Ask what feels powerful, blissful, soft, engaging, silly, satisfying. Become the pose, fed by the feeling, honoring the rightness of it without knowing why. You have connected heart to body and are entering the world of Shakti Yoga Dances.
Your Birthday Week: You will gain a stronger foothold in the life you dream with some serious soul searching. Return to the roots of old relationships to see them clearly, and understand their influence. With four of ten planets either preparing to turn inward, or already in place, you miss an enormous opportunity for growth if you don’t spend time with yourself this year. It’s powerful, and is set up to change your life profoundly. Don’t spend it carelessly. You may work harder to be happy, but it’s well worth it.
