The connection between Yoga and Astrology

The Connection Between Yoga and Astrology

Yoga is about ‘yoking’ the sun and the moon. With Yoga we invite into our lives, cosmic wisdom, in addition to the mastery we work towards within our physical bodies on the earth. Our physical human bodies are a literal microcosm of the solar system. The Sun, together with its family of planets, moon, and asteroids tells of an unfolding story of a search for union. And as the Earth orbits the Sun in our outer Solar System, our body contains a completely unique expression of our inner solar system here on earth. This gives us insight into the characteristics of who we are. The uniting of these concepts is often referred to as Yogastrology.

Yougastrology says that every sign has a corresponding part of the body that needs focus and attention in your yoga practice. Like there are 12 core yoga poses, there are 12 horoscope signs. When overlapped, they match exactly in terms of the physical and medical benefit of each posture with the known physical planetary rulership of each sign. We are taught to create a moving horoscope with our body to strive for unity and balance.

The best pose for your sign

Capricorn (22 December–20 January) – Strengthen your alignment with chair pose, mountain pose, and tree pose.

Aquarius (21 January–19 February) – Lotus pose, eagle pose, or revolved side angle can help shift focus to movement forward.

Pisces (20 February–20 March) – Connect to the earth through mountain pose, half frog pose, and standing split.

Aries (March 21–April 20) – Try a calming standing forward bend, head-to-knee pose, and savasana.

Taurus (21 April–21 May) – Cow pose, cat pose, and bridge can help you release pent up stress in the head, neck, and shoulders.

Gemini (22 May–21 June) – Let some of that responsibility roll off your shoulders with bow pose, cobra pose, and downward facing dog.

Cancer (22 June –22 July) – Break out of your shell by focusing on chest and heart-opening poses like upward plank pose, half moon pose, and dancer’s pose.

Leo (23 July –22 August) – Do we really need to tell you to try the lion pose? You will also benefit from spine strengthening camel and revolved triangle poses.

Virgo (23 August–23 September) – Work on opening up with the peacock pose, full boat pose, and seated twisting pose.

Libra (24 September–23 October) – Be balanced with tree pose, extended hand-to-toe pose, or side crane pose.

Scorpio (24 October–22 November) – Release energy and relax the pelvis through camel pose, lotus pose, and wide-angle seated forward bend.

Sagittarius (23 November–21 December) – Counteract any hip stress with lizard pose, half pigeon pose, and high lunge.

Numerology: Ruling Number 1 Compatibility Guide

Most people are curious to know if they are compatible with someone else. It can be our significant other, boss, friend or family member.

We find this out by reducing our ruling number to a single digit. Remember: our Ruling Number (aka Life Path Number) is our complete birthdate reduced to a single digit. As long as you know the person’s Ruling Number you are ready for some interesting info. There are many combinations to finding compatibility so over the next few blogs I’ll break the numbers down individually.

Our first number, of course, is 1.

We will explore number one with the rest of the numbers 2 through 9.

Ruling Number 1 Compatibility:

1 with 1

Leadership is key with this combination. Since you both are aggressive and both want the same things, working together in harmony is the lesson here.

1 with 2

Number 1 is the leader here and number 2 is the support. This is a winning match because you compliment each other.

1 with 3

With one’s leadership abilities and three’s ability to turn ideas into real success, these two can have an extremely fruitful relationship. If they both stay focused anything can happen.

1 with 4

Even though ones are strong on leadership they are also strong on impulsiveness. Fours are cautious which can be irritating to a one.

1 with 5

Both of these people are very active and have original minds. They make a great team with the one originating the ideas and the five selling them. They have a great capacity to make a good living together.

1 with 6

People with a number six love art, beauty and the “good life”. The number one person is capable of delivering these luxuries as long as they don’t insist on having their own way all the time. A cooperative effort and this team can do great things.

1 with 7

These two people can make a spiritual connection. Ones need to give sevens the space needed for privacy and thought. Sevens can help with the impulsivity of ones. Together these numbers can make a powerful team.

1 with 8

Both numbers here are aggressive and used to things going their way. They would have to cooperate or become arch rivals. They can either do great things together or bring ruin to each other.

1 with 9

This is an interesting combination. Nine people have great vision and wisdom while one people are original and inventive. Together they can make for a very successful partnership doing great things.

That’s it for now

Numerology: Power & Master Numbers

This time we are going to talk about the three Power numbers otherwise called the Master numbers 11-22 and 33.

The Master Numbers

We do not break these numbers down to a single digit. We refer to them as 11/2, 22/4, and 33/6 because they contain aspects of their single digit counterpart.

11/2

We already talked about how elevens have exceptionally high levels of intuition and spirituality. These are the people who are the guides of mankind. They guide us into lives of compassion and awareness. The eleven also has aspects of the number 2 which includes charisma and leadership. The number two is a duality of intuition and inner conflict. The negative side of this is that not many elevens live up to this great responsibility. They are shy and have a lot of nervous energy. This can give way to fear and self-doubt.

Elevens make great teachers, artistic performers and social workers.

22/4

Twenty-two is not only the most powerful of all numbers but the most successful. The number 22 encompasses the all or nothing. Twenty-two’s can become the masters of anything they are committed to or they become lazy drifters. Remember, 22 are double 11 and they have the practical aspects of 4. Four’s express themselves best in the material world. What a great combination! They possess an immense potential to achieve with intense productivity. The number twenty-two is rare occurring in a small percent of the population.

Twenty two’s make great leaders in all aspects of life, artists, diplomats and architects.

33/6

The number 33/6 is not concerned with self-advancement. It is all about doing well for mankind. This brings with it great responsibilities and leadership skills. These people are all about serving and helping the largest number of people. The down side of this is their being able to discern where, when and whom to help or they become overwhelmed. Remember, 33 combines 11 and 22 all of which are rare numbers. 33/6 also encompasses the number 6 which is about responsibility especially to others. It also represents a take charge attitude along with loyalty. There are always two sides to every number. The negative side to 33 is to become too focused on your own agenda and to care less of others. People born under 33 make great spiritual leaders, teachers and artists.
