Aquarius Full Moon Yoga- "focus the mind, practice Yoga"

This week we have a beautifully intense grand air trine in the cosmos. Air is the element associated with the mental faculty.

Patangali's Yoga Sutra 1.2 is "yogasgcittavrttinirodhah", which translates to "Yoga is the cessation of the fluctuations of the mind". Another, less literal translation by TKV Desikachar is "Yoga is the ability to direct the mind exclusively toward an object and sustain that direction without any distractions."

Yoga Sutra 1.39 is "yathabhimatadhyanadva", which translates to "Any inquiry of the interest can calm the mind".

Our practice is built around these sutras this week, practicing focus and yoga in order to ground the strong air/ mental energy. To find that sacred place within ourselves that is steadfast even when we ourselves and what surrounds us are going through deep, transformative change.

The grand air trine this week involves:

~Mars- the planet of action, direction, passion, purpose in Libra- the sign of balance, harmony and the other.

~Pluto- the planet of deep change, release, transformation in Aquarius- the sign of innovation, eccentricity and sharing individualism for the greater good of the whole.

~Uranus- the planet of innovation, breaking new ground, opening to new dimensions in Gemini the sign of knowledge, information and communication.

 (we are looking at the positive aspects of planets and signs this week because we have a trine, which is a harmonious aspect)

and of course we have the full Moon in Aquarius, which comes with an electric and eccentric energy. Since the ruler of the full moon is Uranus, who is part of the grand air trine; and we are really in Aquarius energy this moon- we are being challenged to release, transform in a big way and open to new dimensions, new ways of seeing things, new ways of thinking, new perspectives, other's perspectives and to really brace ourselves for great change. Amongst the change and the flow of life, we have yoga.
