 Really there is much to be excited about from today. Mars and Mercury are now moving forward, Saturn has changed signs into Aquarius, Jupiter is still at home in Pisces and we have the year of the kind and peaceful Rabbit (in the Chinese lunar calendar) to celebrate on this upcoming New Moon. There is a feeling of moving forward from a stasis state we walked into this January. So please, shake it out/off/up and take a huge sigh of relief.
An Uttarashada new moon is one of victory. With the symbol of the tusk of the elephant it's hard not to instantly conjure up Ganesha. Ganesha is the symbol of new beginnings. Often referred to as the remover of obstacles yet a less known fact is this elephant headed god is also the bringer of obstacles. This deity will place obstacles in your path to help you grow, block you from misdirection/ill timing or as a karmic learning. Think back on the past years and see where your obstacles have laid. What have you learned from these thwarts? What have you denied, ignored or avoided from these sorrows? It is through our sufferings we arise triumphant if we are brave enough to stare straight down the barrel of the experience. So it is at this new chapter of our lives shared together we have a new opportunity ahead. Yet this new opportunity is something very real and longtime coming. Uttarashada is a later victory or as I like to say late blooming. Like a fine wine after hard work, patience and faith we start to hear the trumpets declare the fruit has ripened, the road is clear and the obstacles are no more. 2023 here we come!

 I was going to wait to begin 2023 with a chipper upcoming new moon post BUT the winds of Saturn have been blowing in my ears. The winds are singing a song of calling bullshit without apology. As Saturn climbs home into Aquarius this Tuesday eve there is a fascinating and very real shift taking place in our skies. After rolling around in the Capricorn dirt throughout the whole pandemic we have been hit supremely hard with the karmic stick. Saturnian/Capricornian words of responsibility, patience, humility, resignation, experience, solitude, discipline, commitment, suffering, integrity, accountability, morals and reality are all governed under the rings of this sobering planet. Sound familiar? Saturn is not a popular planet. I'll leave it there.
I see this new Aquarius chapter as a fortification of the root chakra with the the throat chakra. Working in the yoga industry for over a decade I have become very comfortable in allowing words like 'flow' and 'vibe' to bypass many of the gifts of this planet. Excusing and allowing others (and of course myself) to be out of alignment with words and actions to serve the many desires of the ego. Saturn doesn't suffer fools lightly and it would be foolish to carry on in unconscious ways after the past few years of very difficult but very awakening learnings. There is much work to be done in our inner and outer worlds and much of it is progressive and liberating moving forward. When what we say and what we do align we can move mountains. Otherwise we lose confidence, credibility, respect and support. Gifting the words of truth (throat chakra) with the security of reality (root chakra) we become a force to be reckoned with. No longer confusing. No longer confused. This is true strength of conviction and THIS will be the reign of Saturn in Aquarius.
