Over Labor Day weekend. unpredictable, freedom-loving Uranus reverses direction Sunday, 9/1. Time to begin integrating the effects of recent rapid changes and connect with our own Inner Rebel.

A strong Uranus keeps us off balance this week. Impactful retrograde Mercury cooperates with Mars and Chiron to promote opportunities for inner healing and insights before turning direct on Wednesday.

We have big changes happening at Yoga West this month!  Come open your hearts with our online and in person classes.

The 8/19 Full SuperMoon in Aquarius is a cosmic game-changer, combining two powerful T-squares that promise a shake-up on all levels. The Leo Sun, with retrograde Mercury, faces off with the Aquarius Moon, both activated by Uranus in Taurus.

This week is a lull before the storm, and our antennas may have us feeling edgy, uncertain, easily irritated.  Life can come at us too fast or in unexpected ways.  

Highlight of the week is Sunday’s New Moon in Leo, bringing creative, playful and confident energy.  Leo rules the heart and lives from the heart, shining like the Sun which is Leo’s planet.

This is a time of transition between worlds, one breaking down, the other still unknowable.  Winds of change can shift our perception radically from one week to the next.  In this current relatively quiet week, we can tune in to the Cosmic background music, appreciating the subtle but reassuring hum of harmony between the outermost planets.

We are asked to examine our issues around personal power and powerlessness, as Chiron brings potential for deep healing. The Capricorn/ Cancer polarity is also concerned with security and stability. As life wobbles, do we look outside ourselves for assurance or embrace our inner sovereignty?

The New Moon in Cancer Friday, 7/5, sets the tone and agenda for the coming week: rest, intend, nurture, center. The sensitive, motherly, protective energy of Cancer invites us to draw inward, first to our close surroundings and ties, and then to our inner states.

A workshop series and a new class are offered as we spring forward. Please take a moment to read a message to the community from Simrat Kaur.
