On Thursday evenings I teach Chakra Flow, a yoga class about subtle awareness, personal intuition, and energy balance and alignment. When you practice noticing and observing through postures and meditation opportunities, it becomes more natural to notice when imbalance occurs and possibly to understand why. People come back to this class week after week because it feels useful and goes beyond exercising the body. I tell you this today because I'm inspired to try something this week. I'll add a Chakra focus to each daily forecast. Let me know if it's useful to you.
Know that you can attend Chakra Flow virtually and also receive a recording if you don't want to take class live on Thursday at 5:30 pm. There's plenty of chakra learning and self study and the conditions are set up for reestablishing a healthy inner flow. You can sign up at Breathing Room ME for either live in person or virtual with recording. The studio tends to fill as we allow for socially distance mats. Masks required for unvaccinated students and if you're vaccinated (which over 70% of Mainers are! Yay, locals!) you can practice without or with your mask. I am no longer wearing mine for class. Maybe I'll see you online this week as we tend to the heart and throat, our 4th and 5th Chakras.
Have a gorgeous weekend!

Sunday, June 6th: Heart Chakra. The Moon wanes as we move toward Gemini's New Moon & solar eclipse at 6:53 am EST on Thursday. Waning Moon means time to reflect and invite new priorities and intentions. It could bring up the emotional aspect of finishing, perhaps more than the technical completion of, a task, project or relationship. Taurus Moon from 1:46 am EST until Tuesday afternoon. The Moon is happily complemented by Venus and Jupiter in water signs, balancing for relationships, emotional life and favoring abundance and growth. This day is bright gem during the current retrogrades. Use this time for doing good, seeing the positive and feeling your place in nature, family and everything. Today's color is Green.
Monday: Throat Chakra. Taurus Moon meets Uranus and squares Saturn. These two aspects range from radically different to contradictory. Some strong possibilities include feeling pressure, really needing to get 'the job' done, and a need for spontaneous decisions and actions. Thinking and acting while right on the spot isn't always comfortable. Ask for extra time if that's possible. There may be some urgent situations that don't allow for that. Tap into Taurus's hands on style and use your skills to recreate something that just didn't work out as planned. With Saturn retrograde in Aquarius, keep group goals and vision in mind and try not to over control what is not solely your decision. Taurus rules the neck and throat and relates to our voice. You may feel compelled to speak up about injustice or strongly suggest a new approach. Today's color is Blue.
Tuesday: Third Eye Chakra. Taurus to Gemini Moon with void of course time, the transition phase, from 11:07 am to 2:47 pm EST. The earlier hours look productive and pleasant overall as Taurus Moon aligns with Neptune, Pluto and Mars. Dreams may take tangible shape. If you wake up with a great idea (Neptune), follow up (Mars). Pluto assists with self reflection and contemplation of current priorities before new Moon. The solar eclipse is sure to bring something you would not have envisioned. Make flexible plans and be willing to reorganize in July or late June. Have a broad outlook that leaves room for something even better or more necessary. During void Moon time, exercise, nap or otherwise check out of technical and analytical work. If you must do such tasks, edit and recheck once the Moon is in Gemini. Gemini Moon 2:47 pm EST, leading to Thursday's solar eclipse for fresh starts, particularly ones you didn't know about! The Moon and Jupiter in Pisces form a square reminding us how versatile and adaptable we need to be. Notice shifts in your relationship with something, someone or your own perspective changing. Notice where there's excess, if there is. Practice moderation. Today's color is Violet.
Wednesday: Solar Plexus Chakra. Gemini Moon aligns with Saturn. Revisit collaborative projects. If you begin one, the brainstorming process is favored today. Keep decisions flexible and adjustable while Saturn and Mercury are retrograde. Share ideas, converse, have a lunch date. Use light activities or atmospheres to deal with even very important topics and work. Include everyone who wants to be included in the process. This is a day to connect. Wear Yellow, balancing the dark sky during balsamic Moon.
Thursday: Crown Chakra. New Moon is exponentially more powerful and fills the environment with change during this solar eclipse. The changes roll for two weeks to a month, so even if they're not immediately evident, know that news for weeks to come is initiated today, and also two weeks ago with the lunar eclipse. This is probably the most changeable period of the year. Uncertainty is natural now. Mercury retrograde is a huge influence, meeting the Moon at 8:37 am, less than two hours after the eclipse at 6:53 am EST. Mercury in Gemini increases feelings of being scattered, jumpy and anxious. If you are unsettled about a decision, could it be put off for about two more weeks or longer? Generate ideas, act on them later. Set flexible new intentions, daydream, draw and write. Be careful with belongings as you do New Moon cleaning. We could tend to lose things, toss something important, or let go of something and later wish we hadn't. Neptune squares the Moon and we may feel (or want to be!) very ungrounded during void of course Moon time from 1:38 pm EST. As the Sun meets Mercury at 9:13 pm EST, some announcements or information will be premature. Do not trust everything you read or hear. Wait for proof and verification. Try not to act too quickly or share misinformation. Allow more time to process. The other effect of this conjunction is that we reconnect with people we haven't seen or spoken with in a long while. It's likely to happen by chance. Notice who you cross paths with or hear from! Today's color is White.
Friday: Sacral Chakra. Void Moon time ends at 3:23 am EST as the Moon enters her home sign, Cancer. Emotional waters are stirred. Jupiter aligns with the Moon for creativity, abundance and intuition. Immerse in water, cleanse and feel renewed on this day after New Moon. Taking care of home and family is favored. Family relationships and tending the home fires can be grounding after a few days of airy Gemini energies. Mars moves from Cancer to Leo at 9:34 am EST. Mars is more comfortable and useful in the fire element. We may experience this as more energy, increase physical exercise, and feel the urge to perform, take center stage and actively engage in learning (especially learning creative or performance related things). Take a class during these next several weeks. Develop a new skill! Today's color is Orange.
Saturday: Heart Chakra. Cancer Moon meets Venus for romance and other good feelings between us. Forgiveness, love and compassion increase. Spontaneous reunions and spontaneous feelings are likely as the Moon aligns with Uranus in Taurus. Our sense of place may be related, so sudden desire to move or discovering a place without searching are some possible ways this manifests. Ground in strong relationships, family and love. Feel what is truly important and create a memory of that. We may feel sentimental and/or attached. Today's color is Light Blue.
