Yoga Astrology

[Jacint Kosack]

Icould never quantify how important yoga and astrology have been in my life. I was introduced to both at 11 years old and they have been, at the very least, in the background of every single day since then.

Yoga helps me to ground my awareness in the present moment by getting back into my body. Yoga helps me feel good in the skin that I am in. Yoga helps me remember that my power is located in the seat of the present moment and nowhere else.

Each one of us must value the inherent talents we posses in order for us to have any modicum of true success. It is my belief, because I see it every time I sit down with a client, that we all have a unique signature, a unique offering, a unique skill to give to the world and it is our primary job to uncover that, nourish it and give of it freely and without reservation. But in order to do so we have to get to the place where we value who we are and what flows through us.

The beautiful moon also has a distinct effect on the human body, mind, and Spirit as shown through 2,000 years of astrological research. The human body is made up of around 60% water, so imagine this, tiny waves and tides within your physical body, being pushed and pulled by the rotation and phases of the moon.

When you study your moon in astrology and bring awareness around how the phases and signs of the moon affect you, you bring a greater understanding to your emotional self. Ultimately when you understand your emotional self, it brings a greater understanding of the actions and reactions of others.

Have you ever wondered why you feel tired and more introverted when the moon disappears from the sky as a new moon? Have you ever noticed how drivers rage more or bad news increases around full moons? Have you ever noticed the awe and mystic wonder that enraptures humans during eclipses?

The moon in astrology represents your emotions, instincts, and subconscious. It helps you understand what makes you feel secure and safe and how you take care of, nourish, and nurture yourself and others.

It taps into the feeling side of our personality and rules over the five senses: sight, hearing, taste, smell, and touch. Understanding this can help us comprehend why the collective may feel the way they feel as well.

I like to keep it simple for my students when I talk about them in class and how they are influencing our life. The four phases that I share in my class are New Moon, Full Moons, and Half Moons. On special occasions, I will have workshops on eclipses that happen every six months.

A New Moon is a new beginning because it is a start to a new cycle. It is a time to reset and create new intentions. We cannot see a new moon because there is no sun light on the moon, it is a dark moon.

Due to this being a lower energy time, students may feel more introverted and classes may be less full; students tend to stay home more around new moons. Encourage introspection, gentler movements, longer holds.

This phase is wonderful for Yin Yoga, opening the energy channels along the physical body meridian lines for the flow of life force creativity. In your vinyasa flow class, include half-moon and crescent moon poses!

A Full Moon is a time for clarity and adjustment. Full light of the sun on the moon. There is an illumination of something in your life to bring more attention to it, for observation, exploration.

This is a magical superpower you can possess to bring knowledge, energy, and nurturing compassion to your classes. You feel into the force of nature already running through you and your students, now you can design a class around the phase and sign.

One way to get started with astro yoga is by adjusting your yoga practice to correlate with astrological transits, which Ridout says can help you navigate the natural shifts of what's happening in real time in your life.

You can also work with the traditional seasons (spring, summer, fall, and winter). Each of these seasons rules certain body parts, so you can do postures and flows that align with the current season. For example, Ridout says big heart-openers are great during the summer because the season rules the area of the upper and middle back and chest.
