2024.08.21 eclipse season outlook
===
[00:00:00] If you've been feeling a lot of big, big emotions and maybe the pull towards changing your habits, changing your health practices. Maybe even like completely overhauling your life and what that looks like in the day-to-day and your overall. Trajectory of your life, maybe a lot of like childhood. Trauma generational healing type stuff has been coming up.
[00:00:25] First of all, you're not alone. Um, that is. A big undercurrent of the current astrology. And of course, we're here to figure out why. Second of all this eclipse season, which we're here to cover on this episode. Is bringing that kind of stuff up in a big way, these big emotions and, um, really how we deal with them in an embodied sense. Is coming up. In a big way for a lot of reasons that I will thoroughly cover on this podcast episode.
[00:00:57] Not only cover why it's coming up astrologically, but also what it might look like in your life, how to recognize it. And then of course, what to do about it with your yoga practices and journal prompts. That is what a Yogi scope is. First I'd like to extend you a warm welcome to the Yogi scopes podcast.
[00:01:16] I'm your host Rosemary Holbrook. I am a Vedic sidereal astrologer. And a yoga therapist, which means I take not just any old astrology, like if you're out there on the internet, if you're new to astrology and you've never heard of the different kinds, maybe it just before this moment was all just astrology to you. Vedic astrology pairs really well with yoga.
[00:01:40] I'll just leave it at that for now, because it comes from the same philosophy where yoga I are Veda. All of that Jyotish Vedic astrology comes from. The same ancient texts, the Vedas. So. There's that. And then I use the. Yoga therapy training that I have you with therapy skills and training that I've spent many years, um, learning and practicing to help you embody the energy to help you do something about it.
[00:02:11] Because I recognize that astrology. Uh, can sometimes be a little bit heady, a little bit cerebral what I sometimes call it as a little bit, uh, upper chakra imbalance, where we're kind of up here in the spirit realm. And that's great. I'm glad that we can be in touch with that sort of spirit realm type stuff. But we want to bring it down to earth, bring it down to embodied reality.
[00:02:33] And so that's also, um, you know, what we're here to do in general on this podcast. So, welcome. Welcome back. If you're. Uh, returning listener. I'm grateful to have you here either way, but then at this eclipse season in particular, the themes of sort of grounding into reality and. Um, embodying the spirituality so that you don't get kind of lost in delusion or overthinking and in your subconscious and not really like taking action in an aligned way. That's coming up in a big way at this eclipse season.
[00:03:08] So we're going to cover it from all angles. And I'm going to tell you all the reasons, all the various ways that that's coming up. So. Just briefly, I'll give you a rundown about what eclipse season is, and then we'll dive into all of the other sort of concurrent astrological happenings, because. That's the thing.
[00:03:30] I have a really hard time talking about any one thing at once. It's a little bit of like, neurodivergence happening there. Like everything's happening all the time. And all of these conversations are happening in my brain. Right. Um, but also. That's all these other happenings. Some of the ones that we'll cover are how Jupiter retrograde and Uranus retrograde, and a bunch of sacred. Uh, period's festivals in the Hindu. Or Indian traditions, such as ancestor, fortnight, things like that we'll cover on this episode.
[00:04:03] So if that just sounded like a bunch of gibberish to you, don't worry. It'll, it'll get more clear as, as we continue to explore it throughout the episode. Um, but also those things are what makes this eclipse season different than the last eclipse season or the next eclipse season? Because there are different. Other things going on and that's what we're here. To explore and to make meaning of, and to learn how to put it into practice. In our lives.
[00:04:32] So. With that let's, let's just first think about what an eclipse season is in general. So they happen. About twice a year. Well about they, they happen twice a year. And eclipses happen. So we ha they always come in pairs. We always have a solar eclipse with a lunar eclipse, and I just would love to nerd out about the astronomy of this for a minute.
[00:04:56] And if you want to go even deeper, You can search wherever you're getting this podcast episode, except I think this one's not on YouTube, but if you search, if you're listening on a podcast platform like apple or Spotify, you search on this podcast on the Avco. Podcast, the karmic indicators. I did a whole episode about RA who and K2 and the. Astronomy mythology. The Vedic myths behind how we understand them.
[00:05:22] And that's always great to revisit at a clip season because Roku and K2, as they're known in Western astrology, the nodes of the moon are responsible for eclipses and so mathematically, or they're not planets. We treat them as planets, as bodies, moving through space. Um, But their mathematical points.
[00:05:42] And so this, it really helps to understand what we're talking about with anything astrologically to understand. What eclipses. Are like what's happening and that will help understand the meaning. So that's why I'm going to tell you about this. So anything astrologically. When we say a planet is in assign, like, for example, maybe, you know, your birthday.
[00:06:03] So, you know, like for example, my birthday is February 11th, so that makes me in Western astrology, an Aquarius sun. So that's like saying my son. In Western astrology is in, in tropical, in the tropical Zodiac is in Aquarius. And so when we're saying it's, the sun is in Aquarius or these eclipses are in Pisces and Virgo, we don't mean that the sun is physically in that constellation of stars.
[00:06:30] We mean. From our point of view on earth. The constellations are moving around this circle. You could picture it as like our picture view around where we're standing on earth. And so. The degrees that we're talking about are like away from. That point right from where we're looking up at it. And so the. The rising sign, which we'll explore later on is whatever's rising on the Eastern horizon at any given moment.
[00:07:03] So it becomes really important at the time of your birth. So anyway, this, the constellations are moving around from our perspective. And so are the planets. And so you can think of the stars, the constellations as like the backdrop and the planets are moving across the sky as well. But here's what's happening though.
[00:07:21] They're not all moving on. The exact same line. So the majority of them move across what we call the ecliptic, but the sun and the moon, they actually are moving on different lines. And so. When those lines intersect the sun and the moon overlap. Otherwise there'll be a little bit, you know, if you were to look up in the night, sky, one will be like below or above the other. But the moments when they enter, when those lines intersect. That's when we have an eclipse, when the sun either, um, the earth will be come between the sun and the moon at a full moon.
[00:07:57] And so the Earth's shadow is casting on the moon, which makes it a lunar eclipse. And then, um, When the. Moon comes between the earth and the sun at a new moon. And they're right there with each other, the moon blocks out the sun, and that is a solar eclipse. And so what's happening when that happens. Is, you know, before we had all this astronomy to really know what was happening in the ancient cultures, they were making all this meaning about it.
[00:08:31] And you can go back and listen to the raw who in K2, the karmic indicators episode I was talking about. Um, if you want to dive deeper there, it's always good to revisit around eclipses. Um, But. Basically they impact as deeply if you've ever been to a solar eclipse, like a, seen a total solar eclipse. And so the being in the zone of totality is much different than being in like even 99% totality. Because when it gets completely dark, even the animals, like the birds will go to reus. The crickets will start chirping in the middle of the day.
[00:09:05] The animals think it's night. And so something similar happens with us where it's just this like weird, eerie vibe. Eclipses have, and I noticed this. To that the, the time around the eclipses, it's almost like there's weird shadows being castigated. Um, Like during the day. And, and I think this is just, my theory is that's related to, um, the moon coming closer to the sun and maybe just disordering distorting the light a little bit.
[00:09:37] And so. Rah who and K2. The nodes of the moon are those mathematical points. That, um, are responsible for eclipses. And so, because of that, because of the way that, you know, circles around earth go. I have a circle intersects with another circle. Um, and they have like the same center point, which is the center of earth it's going to intersect twice.
[00:09:59] So that's why we always have two eclipses. And they happen twice a year. And. So that's the astronomy of it. The astrology of it is if you think about. What the sun and the moon represent. And then of course, we'll also talk about what RA, who and K2 represent. Um, because those are the planets, the archetypes that are involved in eclipses. The moon is our emotions, our intuition, right.
[00:10:29] Um, our, our sense of nurturing and the sun is our soul. And maybe also how we shine in the world, like what we sort of shine out or how we're meant to sh. To shine in the world. So, um, when they are getting. Shadows. Cast it over them. It gets to be a time where our intuition might be a little bit shadowy.
[00:10:56] Like I'm not going to say your intuition is wrong, but it might be like harder to tap into. It might be, um,
[00:11:04] That you're having these like downloads, right? Where, where your intuition might actually be more powerful, but it's kind of unclear how you should work with it. If that makes sense. During these eclipse times. And so then with the sun, it's like, you might also not be, um, Putting yourself out there in the most clear way.
[00:11:26] So those are the reasons why you'll most often hear astrologers say around the time of eclipses. It's a time to lay low and do your spiritual practices and not, not really start new things. And so we'll, we'll explore that. I always say, take it with a grain of salt. Sometimes things will powerfully set in motion. Uh, that you've been working on for a long time.
[00:11:48] And during the eclipse season, we call it like this portal. Where it's like, whatever you're kind of working with, working on. During this eclipse portal will sort of reverberate beyond and you're either. Um, ingraining old patterns or. Forming new patterns that will reverberate beyond the eclipse season.
[00:12:09] So they happen twice a year. So they happen about every six months. Right. And so when we say this portal, Or the eclipse season, what we're talking about is, um, the it's, it's a six week time period that happens every six months. So twice a year. Right. And so the six weeks are marked by. Um, the eclipses, since one happens at a new moon and one happens at a full moon. That's like half a lunar cycle, right?
[00:12:38] A fortnight. There's two weeks between one eclipse to the next, um, because that just has to do with the way the earth and the, um, or I should say the moon and the sun moon around earth. And so they always happen like that. And so we consider astrologically the eclipse season portal. To be the time from the new moon before, or, you know, whichever, whichever is happening first from the, the moon cycle, before the fortnight, before the fortnight, between, and which in Vedic astrology, we call. that just means Fortnite or the two week period in between. And then the two week period until the next regular lunar fate, like newer, full moon phase after the second eclipse. And so this year, That eclipse portal is happening from the new moon in Leo on Monday. September 2nd. And then the peak will be between the full moon lunar eclipse in Pisces on September 17th. Through the, um, new moon solar eclipse in Virgo on October 2nd.
[00:13:47] And then. Um, It will officially end on October 17th with the full moon in Aries. So. Don't worry if that didn't just sink in w. I will, of course do individual episodes for each of those four things for the new moon in Leo on September 2nd, the lunar eclipse in Pisces, the solar eclipse in Virgo. And the full moon in Aries.
[00:14:12] Of course, we will dive into those individually as it gets closer to when they're happening. But this episode is to just serve as a, a zoom out of like, how can you make the most of this time while we're not in it yet while your, your intuition is not being blurred out or blotted out or having a shadow cast upon it just yet.
[00:14:36] So we want to kind of zoom out and look at the whole period and what all is happening. Beforehand. So that you can maybe step through it with some intention and grace, and then we'll dive more into the particulars as we go. As always. So with that. We've covered what eclipse season is, right? It's the six week period this year. Between October or sorry, September 2nd.
[00:15:00] And October 17th is our eclipse portal. And it's between those dates that your, your intuition might start get it getting kind of blurred out. For the reasons I said. And so raw. Who and K2, let's just briefly dive into those, which always with the caveat to like, please revisit the resources. Um, that I will link in the blog post that I make about this episode. I've started doing this where I'm making more in depth.
[00:15:34] It used to be for the membership only. And now I've made it so that, um, the sign by sign is still for folks that joined the brand new iteration of the Vedic astrology club. Um, And so you can get the signed by sign actually for the, for the eclipse, for longer-term things like this. I, I publish them to everybody for the individual, like new moons and full moons.
[00:15:56] It's members only. And so anyway. I've started publishing that for everybody so that you can have this place to go revisit. So it's like handy to listen to the podcast episode you might be driving or walking or, or, you know, doing chores right now while you're listening. And so having that companion blog post can help you kind of refresh your memory about the things that you heard me say. And for the folks who maybe aren't auditory listeners. Um, or auditory learners.
[00:16:22] I mean, so anyway, I will put all these dates. In there of like, and these pass resources like that karmic indicators episode, I was talking about. There is a full there's a whole bunch of resources from this time last year when Ramu and K2 moved into the signs that they're in. Um, and so you can revisit all of those individual resources.
[00:16:44] I'll link them in the companion blog post. At your, um, convenience, but. Just a quick synopsis now. And to give it context raw, who is the north node of the moon? If you've heard that in like Western astrology before RA who and K2 are. The nodes of the moon, rod who being the north K2, being the south node. And. The mythology goes that basically. They were. One snake that got severed at the neck.
[00:17:21] And so you can go listen to that past episode to hear the whole story. Um, But raw who, so rod, who is the head of a snake. Without a body. K2 is the body of a snake without a head. And so with that, we get the archetype that raw, who is this sort of. All consuming, like maybe even sort of overstimulating because your head is where you take in all of your sensory input. Right.
[00:17:49] Your head is also where we make stories about, um, that sensory input. So in the brain, right, our brain is always just sort of interpreting things for us. The things that we take in with our eyes, our ears, our mouth, right. Our, our smell. And so when that gets disconnected, From the body. What we have is this lack of digestion, this lack of, um, You know, paring things down to what's essential, like the nutrients, right.
[00:18:26] And then the body without a head. We get this more, like embodied a feeling rather than thinking energy, but maybe also like a lack of interpretation, a lack of higher thinking sort of thing, going on with the body without the head. Um, And also, this is where we get that K2 is sort of disconnecting from things like worldly pleasures, because it's disconnected from all those sensory environments of the head or like the desires of, of the brain and the head to. Um, Kind of participate in the world, right? Um, so the body without a head is more of a, you think of it like spiritual Vagrant kind of vibe.
[00:19:12] That's K2. And so. Um, those are the archetypes raw who the north node being things like obsession, worldly sort of pleasures, um, being like overstimulated, these kinds of things over thinking maybe even, um, and not digest giant digesting, whereas K2 is the more embodied, but maybe more detached, like not caring, not paying attention, sort of, um, Vibe. And. At the time of these eclipses, the eclipses will be occurring.
[00:19:48] As I mentioned in Pisces and Virgo. So we'll dive more into the individual eclipses of course, as we go. Um, but with RA who in Pisces, the vibe, and you can also revisit the whole episode. I did. Last fall about a year ago when they moved there. About these archetypes and there's also a companion blog post. When you go to Yogi scopes.com. And click on articles.
[00:20:16] There's a dropdown you click on weekly Yogi scopes. You can find last year's eclipse season one. There. And, um, so that'll take you into all of those resources and that podcast episode and, and all of that. But anyway, in short RA, who in Pisces is creating this. Um,
[00:20:36] Big desire, right? RA who this may be insatiable desire because there's no connection to the hunger and fullness cues of the body. Um, This insatiable desire to. Um, Do Pisces things and Pisces things are, uh, like tapping into the subconscious going on retreat, spiritual travel. Um, Paying attention to the emotions which can lead to maybe on the shadow side. This sort of overthinking or letting your emotions take too much of like the driver's seat. Um, or maybe even we might say delusion. Right.
[00:21:18] And then K2. Being the more embodied, more detached one in Virgo is creating this. So Virgo is related to, um,
[00:21:32] Health and routines and, um, Yeah. Like I actually, it's funny, a Virgo rising said to me the other day, That health was their number one value. And I was like, that's like the most Virgo thing I've heard all day. When that person said that to me. And so Virgo. Yeah. Virgo is all about health and wellness and routines that gets you there.
[00:21:56] And, um, when K2 is there, what we know about K2 is sometimes K2 can kind of cut you away from those things. It can make you have a spiritual experience around what being detached from maybe health and wellness. Is, you know, from, from those things. And, um, so basically the overall vibe of this eclipse season is sort of balancing that. Embodiment of wellness with, um, You know, there's some element of like, of, of psychosomatic, right?
[00:22:34] So with Pisces being the emotions and the subconscious and Virgo being, uh, the body and your everyday habits and your physical health right there is this. Element of maybe kind of getting to the root and figuring out what are, what, like the trauma, the subconscious trauma that's like carrying on in your body, those kinds of things.
[00:22:57] Um, And. Uh, Working through the emotions that might be keeping you from habits of wellness and all of that kind of stuff. So we'll, we'll dive more deeply into it as we go. Um, But that's the vibe is like, how can you sort of, like I said, in the beginning of the episode, um, Sort of break free from these old patterns, maybe habits daily habits around your, um, like health routines and stuff.
[00:23:27] Like what are your daily habits making you more healthy or less healthy? Um, And is there an emotional component? Like maybe like emotional eating or, um, some like depression coming up. That's keeping you from doing. A lot of healthy habits. Right? So. Real life stuff. Um,
[00:23:52] Yeah, what's coming up along that. Access for you between, you know, like psychosomatic symptoms and how trauma might be manifesting in the body. And so we'll continue to explore it as we go. There's a couple other things that I want to talk about. Happening around this eclipse season that I think. Make it just more supportive of. Transformation.
[00:24:18] And so. It, especially if you're here listening to this podcast means you're paying attention and it means you're more likely to harness these energies that are present. Um, in a way that will be supportive of stepping through the portal in a way that doesn't just reinforce old patterns that weren't working for.
[00:24:36] You stepping through this eclipse portal in a way that brings you closer. To your goals or to the person you want to be or to the life you wanna live. Um, and so this is why it's good to think about this beforehand, because once we get into that shadowy period of this six weeks, between September 2nd and October 17th, you might be less clear about what that even is about.
[00:24:59] What, um, You even want things to look like as you step through the portal. So it's good to think about it now. That's what we're here to do now. On this podcast episode. And so. Right now as I'm recording this it's August 21st as I'm recording this. Um, We are in the month of Donna. So there are. This happens every year, the month of Novena happens around this time.
[00:25:27] And so Ana means. Uh, like listening it's Strava. Rovena, uh, means to here. Right? And so this period. Of the month of Venom. AHRQ August 5th to September 2nd, this year 2024. Uh, is basically a period to slow down and listen. So it's a time to slow down and pay attention. We also have mercury retrograde right now. Um, and you could revisit that episode as well, but mercury retrograde bringing up all this stuff around ancestral trauma, lineage healing. Uh, nervous system. Stuff, which the nervous system is, is, you know, if you've ever read about polyvagal theory, the nervous system is sort of that link between the psychosomatics that I was just talking about. Um, so that's, that's coming up right now in August.
[00:26:16] So if you're paying a lot of attention, Uh, if you slow down and listen, which is basically what that's an over-simplification, but that's basically what the month of Shaaban. Robin. It is about slowing down and listening. If you do that now. Um, you will have a clearer picture of sort of what's coming up and what maybe patterns you are hoping to either ingrain deeper or not during this. I clipped season what patterns you might be hoping to change? And so that's now that's leading up until you remember.
[00:26:49] I said September 2nd, with that new moon is the official beginning of eclipse season. So all the way from right now, when you're listening to this, through that new moon. Which I will cover on its own episode. It's a time to slow down and listen and be thinking about what patterns are coming up. And so you might revisit, especially the journal prompts from the mercury retrograde episode. Too. Maybe consider some of those things. What, what might be coming up?
[00:27:14] Um, And then right on September or, sorry, not right on September 2nd, but September 6th. Through 17th is a 10 day celebration in the Hindu tradition to celebrate. Uh, Ganesha is birthday and Ganash is the remover of obstacles. So basically, um,
[00:27:42] I'll say more. Let me just keep explaining the progression of these sacred periods and how it's aligning with eclipse season.
[00:27:50] So it's like leading up until eclipse season is Strabane it's time to slow down and listen. And then. In that period, the first two weeks before the first eclipse that's part of eclipse season, but we haven't had an eclipse yet. It's time to think about. Removing obstacles and paying homage to Ganash right there, remover of obstacles.
[00:28:11] And then we have that, that time. This year between eclipse seasons, um, between the eclipses that Pasha that two weeks happens to also be ancestor fortnight Petrou HSA, which is a time that happens every year. Um, and so ancestor fortnight happens at this time every year. Um, And it's basically a time to. Integrate these karmic lessons and ancestral healing pay. Pay homage to your ancestors and maybe think about the sort of good that you got from your ancestors and what you want to carry on.
[00:28:48] And thank. Thanking them for getting you to where you are, but maybe also considering because Roku and K2 also sort of represent karma in this way. Right? Like the hand you've been dealt in life, the past life karma, which often comes from the ancestors and then RA who being your forward, moving karma. Um, like what you're going to do about it, what you're going to, um, learn and what karma you're going to undo, or maybe. New karma.
[00:29:14] You're going to gain in this lifetime. That's raw who and so. Ancestor fortnight. Happens every year around this time. And just. Based on where the nodes are based on where Raho and K2 are. That's why these eclipses are perfectly aligning with ancestor fortnight. So that just means that during this eclipse season, Um,
[00:29:42] The themes of this sort of ancestral healing and either, you know, ingraining, the good things that you got from your ancestors and carrying on those traditions or, um, healing, maybe the trauma that you got from them is extra heightened. At this eclipse time. Um, and so right now, as I mentioned with this mercury retrograde, bringing up a similar sort of lineage healing, Vibe wash Robyn is going on now is really a time to be listening to like, That's why I said revisit those journal prompts from that mercury retrograde episode. And then after the second eclipse that's, um, Or yeah, after the second eclipse is on October. Second. Um, That will lead us to our final two weeks.
[00:30:35] Final pock HSA of this. Uh, period is always right after ancestor Fort night, we have Navarre Autry. Which is like the nine nights of the goddess, a time to celebrate. Being renewed. So let me just recap that these like spiritual festivals that happen every year, it just happens to be that this year because of where the nodes of the moon are, where Raku and K2 are. They're overlapping. With eclipse season, which sounds bad.
[00:31:02] I think a lot of people, um, There's like fear-mongering out there about this. Like you basically just need to like shut down and not live your life for the next two months for September and October, because of all this crazy astrological stuff happening, um, that kind of points to slowing down and. Um, being more internal, I'll say more about how I think you should actually work with it.
[00:31:24] When I get to the yoga practices and journal prompts. And just a moment. Um, but I just want to always be clear that I am trying to do the opposite. I'm trying to undo all of that. Fear-mongering that? I feel like people come to me with these internalized messages. Uh, that gives them like analysis paralysis and they just end up not doing anything at all, because they're scared to do the wrong thing.
[00:31:45] Um, and that's what the great majority of, of students, especially around eclipse season. Come to me. With some baggage around, I guess. Um, if you've, if you've. If you're not new to eclipse season, if you are new to eclipse season, then. Just listen. Hear me when I say. You don't need to shut down and not live your life. So the sacred periods, just to recap. And we're starting with, Travina leading up to eclipse season overlapping with this mercury retrograde. It's a good time to slow down and listen, especially to the, um, Lineage healing or generational trauma stuff. Coming up for you. And revisit that mercury retrograde episode, if you want. Help sorting that out.
[00:32:31] Like what exactly should I be listening to? Um, and then after that, We go into. Um, The ganache chatter. so I'm sorry. I was like, avoiding saying that until now. Cause I'm like, not even sure if I'm saying that, right. It's one of those ones I've only seen written. Um, So that is. The time to pay homage to Ganesh, the remover of obstacles.
[00:32:56] So, uh, what are the things getting in the way of you having these spiritual practices or, um,
[00:33:04] What are the sort of karmic blockages that you want to maybe ask a Nash to remove? During that time.
[00:33:12] And then following that is ancestor fortnight, which is right at the peak of the eclipses ancestor. Fortnight begins at this first eclipse. The lunar eclipse in Pisces. And then it ends on the solar eclipse. In Virgo. And so that will really be the time to pay attention to what sort of ancestral healing or karmic lessons are really coming through and how you want to then after that second eclipse and during Navarra tree. Um, how do you want to step forward renewed? After that second eclipse. So that's sort of the greater context.
[00:33:52] Um, there are a couple other things I've already mentioned the mercury retrograde leading up to the eclipse and how that's, that's bringing up this sort of ancestral. Healing stuff as much as ancestor Fortnite happening right during the peak of eclipses is. And the other thing is that also. Um, sort of right during this time, Uranus is going retrograde on September 1st, which is remember that's the day before the new moon in Leo, that marks the beginning of eclipse season.
[00:34:21] So the day before eclipse season starts, Uranus is going retrograde in tourists. Uranus is there in tourists with Jupiter, who is the ruler of Pisces, where the first eclipse is happening? Um, so that's the connection. And, um, Jupiter is going retrograde on October 9th in tourists. And so I will of course cover that in its own special episode two.
[00:34:49] I will cover if, if I'm saying the seven-year just like, what, like what, how would I put all these pieces together? Don't worry too much about the individual. Pieces right now, there are resources you can revisit on this podcast and on my website about each individual piece, especially if one sort of strikes a chord with you, but also know that I will be covering each individual eclipse. Um, I'll be covering this stuff more as we go right now.
[00:35:14] I'm just trying to zoom out and we're trying to see how all these individual little cogs, these little gears. Our, um, Moving together. Right. You can think of them as they're all interlinked. Right. And so right now we're trying to see the big picture and we'll zoom in on the individual pieces. So don't worry about the individual pieces too much. Right now, I'm just trying to kind of touch on all of them so that you can have that sort of zoomed out big picture view. And so. With the Uranus and Jupiter retrogrades happening. You can revisit.
[00:35:50] I believe it was like the may outlook from this year. May, 2024, it could have been June 20, 24, 1 of those outlet. You'll find it in the show notes, um, where I talked about both things, but basically. Uh, Uranus is like sudden events. Upheaval. Um, New solutions to old problems was like the keyword for Uranus and Taurus.
[00:36:13] And it just moved there. It's the beginning of a seven year cycle around the same time. Jupiter moved there in. Um, like may of this year, I think Jupiter moved there in may and you're in a smooth there. And like June 1st. And so they're both going retrograde around the same time. And so, um, it's connected to the eclipses in a big way, because one of the, where the eclipses is happening is ruled by Jupiter.
[00:36:37] And that's, if that doesn't make sense to you, don't worry about it. Just know that it. Is connected. Um, And basically. Tourist being an earth sign is also bringing up. Um, this connection to like the material reality and, um,
[00:36:57] You know, Like resources, the, with the Pisces and Virgo access being activated in a big way where we're considering things like psychosomatics and how your spiritual and physical wellness are interconnected. Um, And maybe what sort of karma or traumas you have that factor into that is a big theme of this eclipse season and we'll parse it out as we go.
[00:37:24] Um, but there's this. Also coming up is like, Um, It's hard to address those things. If you are not. Like financially stable. And that's what your innocent Jupiter and tourists are kind of pointing out. Or maybe asking you to look at. Um, and so you can think of it as like Maslow's hierarchy of needs. Like, um, before you can start doing the self-actualizing and all this like spiritual, emotional sort of work, you have to be like physically healthy. And, um, have your, your basic human needs taken care of.
[00:38:01] This is what I always tell people when they like fall asleep in restorative class or something. I'm like, if you fell asleep during Shavasana or like in a restorative pose, Uh, that just means you needed sleep more than you needed meditation because meditation is self care. Right. And tapping into this. The spiritual work that I'm talking about. But if you're, uh, you know, sleep needs, aren't taken care of and you're falling asleep during meditation.
[00:38:25] And that just means you need to take care of your sleep needs. And then you can think about self-actualizing and you know, that top of the, the hierarchy of needs. Um, After the, the foundational stuff and the pyramids taken care of. And that's coming up with the Uranus and Jupiter in Taurus thing. So let's talk, let's recap and move into your yoga practices and journal prompts.
[00:38:49] Um, so the overall energies. R this maybe obsession sort of towards spiritual awakening, deep, emotional healing. Feeling really called towards those things. And if you are. Then great. That's like what we're here to do. And then. Um, Also this sort of like a real alignment of values and priorities. So that's. Especially related to the Uranus and Jupiter. In Taurus. Um, Connection is like, Really like, what are your values? And are you.
[00:39:29] Um, living in alignment with them. And if, if no, if you find that the answer is no. Great. Now you're aware and these eclipses can help you. Maybe work through the emotional or subconscious blocks that are keeping you from the physical and like daily habit actions that it will take to live in alignment with those values.
[00:39:54] If that makes sense. So that's the kind of portal that we're talking about is working through this, like maybe psychosomatic or, um, And so when I say psychosomatic, I feel like that has a connotation to it. That's like a, you're making it up. It's all in your head. No, a psychosomatic symptoms are real. And they're like, they're real symptoms, but they're the kind of symptoms that you go to a doctor and they're like, well, there's no tissue damage.
[00:40:17] Your, your blood work is coming back. Normal. Your hormones are coming back normal. So you must be fine. There must be nothing wrong with you, right? It's all in your head. That's psychosomatic. But those physical symptoms are real and they're just as debilitating as they would be. If there were tissue damage or whatever, if your levels were out of whack and. Also the frustrating thing is that doctors will tell you, you're fine, nothing's wrong with you.
[00:40:41] And it's all in your head and that's how they'll treat you. And so it's kind of. Turning to these, you know, spiritual somatic practices that will help. And that's what the yoga practice isn't journal prompts are for. And that's the work that I do with yoga therapy, as well as that sort of somatic healing. And so, um, to recap, this eclipse season is a good time for spiritual practices and introspection.
[00:41:12] So doing that. Look that gazing into the abyss, looking into your subconscious and, and getting curious about what's there and what's coming up and where this stuff is coming from. Right. It's also a good time to connecting to your health routine or, um, how that is. Is there a connection, like if you do yoga, odds are your health routine is connected to spirituality because that's kind of the vibe of yoga, but if not, now's a good time to, um, connect the dots if they aren't connected.
[00:41:46] Um, it's also a good time to focus on grounding and embodiment. So. Um, If you are just doing this sort of gazing into the abyss without connecting it to these, the body, this like where, where are these. Psychological or spiritual things landing in your physical body. That's sort of the connection between this, this Pisces and Virgo, the RA who and K2, that's the connection we're hoping to draw.
[00:42:11] We don't want these two things to be separated. And that's what Roku and K2 are trying to do is separate them. And we're trying to. Uh, draw the integration. It's also a good time for, um, cutting back to what really matters. So Virgo has a really big, like, Minimalist vibe. And so with K2 there it's even better to like, um, yeah, minimize as much as you can focus on.
[00:42:39] What's really important. And be honest with yourself because that RA who in Pisces can. Bring somewhat of a delusional vibe. And so, um, yeah, I'll leave it at that. Where it may be. Where have you been delusional? Where can you kind of like, and I hate to say it like that because I'm like, I don't know, I'm a Pisces rising.
[00:42:58] Y'all like, I can be a little dilute myself. And so sometimes it's like, ouch, that stings. To point that out point out ways that I'm maybe have been being delusional. But this eclipse season is a good time to think about that. Um, and so it's a bad time for sort of the opposite of the things I just said.
[00:43:18] Um, especially being financially delusional, um, with, especially after, um, Uranus goes retrograde in tourists, uh, and the Jupiter and Torres can lead to a little bit of like an overspending vibe. So just be careful with that. It's also a bad time for being overly critical because that's a, unfortunately a shadow side, a Virgo vibes is that Virgo can be a little bit. A little bit critical, a little bit harsh. A little bit, um, Stinging with their words or critical, you know, perfectionist is maybe coming up. High expectations. Letting perfect.
[00:43:57] Be the enemy of good. And that can be in terms of your own self, your own practices, your own work. But also in relationships. So Venus will be. Debilitated in Virgo at the time of these eclipses. So just have some care. Especially when it comes to relationships around the eclipses that you just. Soften your approach a little bit. And, um, yeah, it's a, it's also because of that Venus. Thing I did. Didn't mention until now, but. Um, Just watch out for miscommunications or poor boundaries or, um, being a really sensitive, maybe knowing that other folks might also have this tendency to be a little bit extra critical or a little bit sharper. With their words.
[00:44:46] And so your yoga practices. For the whole period, of course, we'll dive into individual yoga practices for each eclipse itself. Um, But basically the whole time. Yin yoga and restorative yoga are highly highly indicated for this kind of work for this sort of like deep, emotional release and the psychosomatic. Connection of like what's going on in your brain.
[00:45:14] Where is that causing holding patterns in your body? Yin yoga and restorative yoga. They are different, but they both are very strong for sorting this kind of thing out. Um, And then sort of purification type. Korea's if you know any, so kapala, Bati. skull shining breath. That's a good one. Um, But also, if you don't know that one. Like don't try to go out and do it on YouTube.
[00:45:45] Naughty showed in an alternate nostril, breathing. It's good around Burgo season anyway, around the change of seasons, around what we call the shoulder seasons. When we get around. Um, The Equinox is spring and fall equinoxes that sort of balancing between sun and moon balancing between light and dark. Balancing the size of the body.
[00:46:07] It's also very, um, it's like clarifying for the brain. So 90 show knows always a good one. Alternate nostril breathing. So, um, I'm actually not going to say your journal prompts out loud. I'm going to point you to that blog post because we are late in the episode and that's a fun, new thing about the blog post.
[00:46:26] If you go to Joey scopes.com click on weekly Yogi scopes, it will be up by Friday, your eclipse season one, because there's a lot for this one. And I want y'all to get used to going there and seeing your. Signed by sign reading this, the one for your rising and moon sign, because that's the fun thing about for eclipse season. Um, I'll post it for everybody because these, this is a biggie.
[00:46:48] And so just to kind of recap, Um, if you want to have my one-on-one attention support to the kind of things that we're working on for this eclipse season, like this deep emotional healing, um, The psychosomatic work. Um, I am opening up three spots for readings for eclipse season readings. And then after this. I am not planning on offering one-off readings for the foreseeable future, because I want to work with folks in a more longer-term container than just a one-off reading. Um, Where for the whole container of eclipse season four, the whole portal from September 2nd to October 17th.
[00:47:33] So if you book, now we can have your reading before eclipse season starts. Um, And then you can have the focus and flow sessions unlimited 15 minute follow up sessions with me for that time to help you like get into focus and flow. Right? Because like I was saying, the eclipse season can kind of, uh, muddy the awareness.
[00:47:54] And so you'll have my support to integrate the things that we come up with in your birth chart readings. So we'll start out with that one hour. Birth chart, reading with a special focus on. The things that might be coming up for you specifically based on your chart for this eclipse season. So we'll start with that, but you also get six weeks of the focus and flow of sessions.
[00:48:17] So maybe you've heard me talking about that. Um, if not, you can now go see both things on when you go to Yogi scopes. Dot com click offerings and you'll see this special eclipse season reading. Once all three spots are gone, there will be no more readings for, um, the only come as parts of either yoga therapy packages or. Um, focusing flow sessions because I just don't see a lot of value personally, for you or for me in us, just having this one hour together, talking about all this deep stuff and then never seeing each other again, I feel like that's a waste of. Um, my yoga therapy skills, honestly, because. It's one thing to know all of the karmas that are coming up are showing up in your birth chart.
[00:49:00] And it's another thing to actually put changes into practice. And so that's what the yoga therapy or the focus and flow sessions are designed. To do is like, okay, now you know, all these things, but what are you going to do about it? And, um, you can have my support in that way. It's a really beautiful container.
[00:49:17] It's really transformative. To say, like, we're going to work on one little bite-sized thing at a time. You're going to implement it. Like maybe once it might be a journal prompt, it might be a conversation. It might be a like, you need to decide this thing. You need to go do a meditation, whatever it could be like anything under the sun. Uh, that will get you closer to what your goals are. And. Then report back, you know, it could be, you could report back later the same day. If you, if you do the thing that we talk about, or it could be the next day or, um, some folks fall into a sort of once or twice a week rhythm, it's, it's really up to you and what you're working with and what you have bandwidth for.
[00:49:59] That's the idea. So. Um, I wish you all the best for eclipse season. And. Yeah, I look forward to working more in a one-on-one container. Going forward. That's what I would rather do. Um, but as always, if you want. You know, a group container, you can now join the Vedic astrology club. You'll see it on the weekly OB scopes.
[00:50:27] So. I wish you the best. Please remember to keep your feet on the ground. You're heading the stars and stay in the light until next time. Take great care of yourself.
