Shadows of Lunacy Oct. 6-12

I have observed many Yoga and dance bodies weaving, wavering, and quivering through the past weeks of powerful Lunar energies. This week, we move into the end phase of this ‘lunacy’ with the third of the Super Moons 10/12. We began emoting and feeling more exposed, and nervy with the Solar Eclipse of 9/ 12-13. We peaked with the Full Moon Eclipse of 9/27, many falling into exhaustion as old lives ended, and the unknown knocked at the front door. The very twisty Mercury Retrograde has not helped, nor has the extra serving of Solar Flares.

Bodies have been under duress, especially the emotional body which longs for home and safety, more so when the Moon is prominent. Disagreeably, these Super Moons have booted many from known hearth and home, demanding we face fear and start over. Use the following energies this week to support and challenge yourself to moving onward under Monday’s New Moon.

Sift wheat from chaff off the eclipse offering. They have offered insight as well as chaos. Sit still, recognize what you have acquired, what has offered authenticity as well as hardship.

  1. Mercury is finally ending it’s ‘backward’ phase, preparing to slowly move forward Saturday, 10th. We have been in massive review, held back by tech-glitches, broken machinery and cranky cars. This is a Universal force field requiring re-consideration of consequences and itinerary before a new launch.

The Friday ‘standstill’ of Mercury aligns with the North Node, adding depth as it asks, “ Is this direction good for your soul”?

  1. Adding to that soul demand, Pluto squares the Sun saying, you must regenerate your solar life. It is a time of transformation and evolution. Please do not remain the same. Please do not knife someone pissing you off.
  2. Mars opposes Neptune, a polarity demanding spirit rule action. The see-saw between them may require Mars to surrender before it takes action.
  3. Just before Monday’s New Moon in Libra, the Sun opposes Uranus, ‘sky-god’ of upheaval, change, and liberation. You will feel rebellious, which is just what you need to dive into the dark of the New Moon and set off anew.

 Your Practice this week: Take it down a notch, unless you are really angry or confused, then be my guest and sweat the mat; otherwise, create space within to offer resilience for the outer body. As always, connect breath to elongate muscle, and shed toxins. Release even more toxicity by adding Kapalabhati Breath. Remember it works not only through physical tissue but cleanses the 6th chakra/Third Eye of intuitive sight.

Acquiring strength to stand your ground without belligerence? Hold balancing poses longer. Try Ardha Chandrasana/Half Moon, adding five extra breaths to what you normally hold. This pose calls the lunar life to open within, allowing her light to nurture anxieties, and sooth restlessness. It teaches us to risk, and expand beautifully and confidently. dailybreathjournal.com/yoga/poses/balancing.
