Hello Everyone,
What a month this has been so far. New Moon fell on my birthday August 8th & since then I started a yoga business 2 days a week with aerial yoga, ropes wall, and other restorative and fun classes. Sundays coming up are full of special events, like Intro/Refresher Aerial Yoga workshops with Lily Dougher Hagerman (her September 12th workshop has a few spaces open! Email or go to the website to sign up), Sound Healing Journey with Ben Carroll on October 3rd, Floating Full Moon Yoga Nidra (sold out until October 20th. Sign up for Wed, Oct 20th 7 pm on the website or email me), and Aerial Yoga Teacher Training over 4 Sundays this fall.
Plus I started a radio show again and will bring Robin's Zodiac Zone to WMPG 90.9 in southern Maine & streaming at wmpg.org. My first show was Thursday, August 19th and my first Robin's Zodiac Zone themed show is Friday, August 20th from 1:30 to 3 pm with music for Full Moon, Leo season, and some bands or artists with upcoming concerts nearby. If you're catching this forecast in time, tune in! I do not yet have a permanent time weekly so stay tuned for random dates I'm on air.
My own new pursuits, routines and changes reflect the atmosphere of change we're going through and processing. Give yourself time to integrate all the shifts, and check with your self to see if you're open and versatile or contracting and holding on to dated ideas and opinions. This Full Moon forecast includes about faces, potential reversals and breakthroughs.
Open House at the studio, Leaping Waters Yoga and also Breathing Room, our sister studio, is Sunday, August 22nd 11 am- 2pm. Come feel out the space, enjoy live music outside 11:30 -1 pm, and meet some of our yoga community. The South Portland Farmer's Market is in the adjacent parking lot too!
Hope your Full Moon brings you joy and astonishes you in the best possible ways!
I'm starting a fund to support yoga for people in our recovery community, newly housed or in transitional living situations, and/or in marginalized groups. If you would like to help and contribute, donate through paypal and support my vision of a broader yoga community. Funds will immediately begin to filter out and invite new friends to practice.
Gratefully,
Robin

Sunday, August 22nd: A wildly energetic and assertive trine between Mars and Uranus at 2:38 am EST is reason to be extra cautious and thoughtful. Things can happen suddenly and without warning with these two planets involved. This may call for quick response or action, and activates the earth element. So it could feel like an earthquake, literally or symbolically. The Moon meets Jupiter less than an hour later, with a healing and expansive influence related to community, others, and our interconnectedness. This happens in Aquarius, sign of this morning's Full Moon. It's exact at 8:02 am EST, opposite the Sun in Leo, and the final lunar aspect of Leo season. Full Moon qualities and essence includes high drama, intensity, rebellion, originality, unusual events and accelerated timelines. Group energy and connections are highlighted by the sign Aquarius. This Full Moon speaks to the inevitable and to the future. Pressure may be felt where outdated ways of thinking, acting, deciding, communicating and interacting need to be replaced and updated. Void Moon from 8:02 am to 8:43 am when the Moon moves to Pisces followed by the Sun's move to Virgo at 5:35 pm EST. This is the final phase of summer, one more lunar month. Virgo Moon brings attention to health, self care and reorganizing for efficiency and harmony. Wear Gold today.
Monday: Venus aligns with Saturn and we're still in the wake of Full Moon. Relationship and partnership commitments, decisions and responsibilities to one another are emphasized. Agreements may come easily and feel necessary. Look for a sense of harmony and order in relationships and in group dynamics. This may also relate to policies that are fair and create a sense of ease and relief. Pisces Moon aligns with Uranus in Taurus for original and creative responses and emotional awareness and awakening. Realizations are one effect. Suddenly understanding why you feel a certain way or how your feelings are changing is one example. The Moon opposes Mars and Mercury. We could feel agitated by emotional processing that's needed, and we may find ourselves on obviously opposite sides with people who think differently. Share ideas where the environment is welcoming or if you have an opening, however this is not a time to push too hard. Sensitivities are high and passive aggression is something you may notice under this aspect (Moon opposite Mars specifically). Bathe in healing waters, give yourself some personal time, and recognize rest as essential to clear functioning. Today's color is Blue.
Tuesday: Pisces Moon meets Neptune and joins powers with Pluto. All of this relates to our innermost feelings and thoughts, the subconscious, imagination, and inner dialogue. Are you being kind to yourself? Are you forgiving and otherwise creating peace with your past or a past version of your life? I encourage you to be gentle with yourself today. Others may seem lost in thought, dreams or denial. Some of us will get very creative and work with our vision. Void Moon increases floaty, drifty feelings and ungrounding from 5:12 am to 2:57 pm EST. Aries Moon may feel like a cup of coffee, a quick pickup in pace or energy after this. Tonight's Mercury/Neptune opposition keeps Neptune's visionary vibe alive though, and writers, artists and other creative workers make their magic, alone or together. Topics include mystical, metaphysical, and environmental inspiration. Light Blue.
Wednesday: Aries Moon aligns with Saturn. This may relate back to Venus and Saturn trine on Monday morning. We'll tend to act on how we feel. Make sure that's not too quick, overly forceful or impulsive. The Moon opposes Venus and differences of opinion and method are likely. Aries Moon can bring up our inner aggressor. Venus in Libra wants harmony. Hold the line where justice is concerned. Fairness is today's theme. Notice if you are too self involved or if someone else is. Respond accordingly. Aries Moon time is for progress. Make sensible progress today. Wear Orange.
Thursday: Mercury and Pluto form a trine. This helps us sort our feelings and leads to reflection. It's a great day to journal, to express ideas on paper or written form, and to engage in something therapeutic for your mind. The Moon squares Pluto and if you feel resistant to doing the inner work, that's one effect. The square is beneficial for working through the tough stuff, if you can manage. This is how progress is achieved. Take initiative in healthy ways today, for yourself or for others. Aries Moon is always an opportunity to see if give and take, self and others, are in balance. The Moon makes a final aspect to Jupiter, in harmony, before moving on to Taurus. It could lead to a social, night, to a beneficial connection, and to acting on and expanding on ideas or forming groups. Void Moon 5:14 pm EST into the overnight. Today's color is Green.
Friday: Taurus Moon time from 12:27 am EST. The Moon and Sun are in harmony, in earth signs, and we may feel grounded, in sync, ready to order and organize, and ready to complete tasks. Connect heart, hands and mind as you go about your routine. It may be a very new routine or a transitional time. Notice what seems to work well for you now, what approach you are trying out or altering, your ability to be flexible, and how your gut feels. This can be your intuitive gut or the digestive belly itself. It may tell you when something is off and needs a new approach, or less heaviness or more to process if you've been feeling uninspired. Pick up a book or watch a video on how to do something interesting! Later, the Moon squares Saturn in Aquarius. Saturn is retrograde along with some other planets. This leads to redoing or revisiting a lesson not quite integrated. This one may have to do with how you connect to other people and what your approaches are. If you are being overly conservative or overly radical, the lesson may be found there. Would another approach be a positive or necessary update? Observe any inner programming that is exactly that..so you can release, adjust or modify and be more authentically you. Today's color is Brown.
Saturday: Taurus Moon meets Uranus. This happens monthly, and this time may relate to Full Moon events from the past 7-8 days. You may have figured out how to respond to something that came up unexpectedly and was unplanned. Taurus is an earth sign and is about the action and approach. It's a sign of 'how to' and favors constructive and methodical approaches. Apply that to anything that feels like chaos or wild uncertainty. Develop plans A & B. The Moon aligns with Mars for putting things into effect. Taurus Moon and Neptune harmonize so that creativity and vision are incorporated and you don't become too rigid or fixed. Keep a sense of imagination and possibility even as you decide upon something and act on that. Pink is today's color.
