“Know Yourself and Show Good Will”
Hello Cosmic Yogis~
We are back! We had a short hiatus, but our reports have returned with a little combination of Astrology and Karmic Happens. We will unpack the cosmic energies and share about what is unfolding simultaneously at Karma Yoga Center.
This lunar cycle begins with a Libra Full Moon on April 1, which is also the Pink Moon. Libra is an energy of balance, relationship, self-study, and union. So, it can be considered an energy of yoga. Yoga is about balancing the inner and outer worlds, the sun and the moon, and the material and the spiritual. Ultimately, yoga and Libra are processes to help guide a seeker on the path of Self-Realization and harnessing the will to turn inwards to the hridyam heart or inner sun. When realized, we have the capacity to shine goodwill and love upon every being.
Aries energy is very forward in the field this cycle, as it always is seasonally with the start of spring. When the Sun enters Aries on March 20 – April 19, it is the Spring equinox, the astrological month of Aries, and the start of the astrological year. There will be 7 planets and luminaries in the sign of Aries on April 16, and the Aries New Moon is April 17. Mercury, Mars, The Sun, The Moon, Neptune, Saturn and Chiron will also be in the sign of the Aires. Aries, in its highest expression, is a truth seeker, open-hearted, expressing the desires of the Soul, and devoted to the feminine. This could be a time of inspiration, initiation, new beginnings, and revelation of truth for the individual and the planet.
Uranus enters Gemini on April 25. Uranus spends seven years in each sign and has been in Taurus since 2018, focusing on Earth, Financial Markets, Agriculture, Food, Wealth, Resources, Institutions, and Self-Love. Now in Gemini, it will bring explosive and radical shifts in technology, neurology, quantum computing, information, and the subconscious realm. The last time Uranus traveled through Gemini was from 1941 to 1949. This period included WWII, the birth of NATO, the Cold War, the end of segregation by President Truman, the Atomic Bomb, the first computers, Israel and Palestine, and India and Pakistan- to name a few world events.
May 1 is the mystical quarter season of Beltane and the Scorpio Full Moon. Beltane is the mid-point between spring and summer, and when nature is at her full expression of life and fecundity. It is time to honor the full return of spring and the sacred union of the masculine and feminine principles that bring and sustain life. This full moon is also Buddha’s birthday, known as Buddha Purnima (The Buddha Full Moon) and Vesak. There have been many Buddhas (enlightened beings) and this date specifically honors Siddhartha Gautama’s Self-Realization. Buddha was said to have both realized enlightenment and been born on this day. A beautiful energy to both celebrate Mother Nature (the feminine creative principle) and realization the True Self (the still masculine principle).
And come celebrate at Karma Yoga on Saturday, May 2, from 2-5 pm for our Beltane and Buddha community gathering. We will have live music, a ceremony, art, free nourishment and refreshments, happenings for all ages, tarot, astrology, sacred geometry, tarot, and more!

Dec 4 – Jan 3 | The Shaman & The Mermaid Astrology Report ~ “When The Going Gets Tough…”
“When The Going Gets Tough, The Tough Get Going”
We are on the precipice between 2025 and 2026. While the year change in the Gregorian calendar is more arbitrary, it marks a significant point in our current collective psyche. It is a mile marker for life events. As we approach the close of this year, many energies are on the cusp of significant change. A tidal shift in consciousness is coming.
While there will be an expansion of cognition and intellect, there is an even greater leap in heart awareness flowing through the collective field. This means that some old and outdated ways of perception are dissolving, and we are being called to an expanded plane of awareness. In the moment, this may present as challenges and seemingly radical shifts. This is the proverbial “when the going gets tough.” But you were born for these times, and you came here to grow and to expand. So, “the tough get going.”
Astrology Report | Nov 5 – Dec 4, 2025 | “Sometime The Poison Is Actually The Medicine”
"Sometime The Poison Is Actually The Medicine"
There is a well-established principle in both modern and ancient healing practices that sometimes a poison can serve as medicine. Anti-venom for snake bites is produced from the actual venom. The flu shot is derived from the flu virus. In biology, this concept is called hormesis, where a low-level stress, toxin, restriction, or poison actually promotes greater health, resilience, and growth. Paracelsus, the renowned Swiss physician, alchemist, and philosopher of the German Renaissance, stated that “all things are poison, and nothing is without poison; only the dose permits something not to be poisonous.” This serves as the fundamental principle of homeopathy—like cures like. A substance that causes symptoms in a healthy person can be used in diluted form to treat similar symptoms in someone who is sick.
This all seemed pertinent to this month’s astrology cycle, where there are a number of retrogrades, directs, and Taurus/Scorpio energy, which have to do with transformation, survival, health, growth, and sometimes poison. From the Soul realm, whether something is poison or medicine depends on perception of the mind and time. Time can change everything, including our perceptions. What was once the worst thing might actually become the best force for evolution and growth over time.
“Big Changes! As The Surface Waves Churn, Dive Deep Beneath To Learn” | Oct 6 – Nov 5, 2025 Astrology
"As The Surface Waves Churn, Dive Deep Beneath To Learn"
There is a timeless lesson that we are like the ocean. The churning of the surface waves represents our mind and ego. But beneath the turbulent surface lies the calming depths of our Soul. If we identify with the waves, we may be swept around, but if we seek our true selves and dive deep beneath the surface, we will remember our eternal self as the vast ocean of spirit.
This month’s astrology is full of waves on the surface of the ocean, churning and turning with aspects and movement from the personal planets. If we stay at the surface, we may get lost. But there are deeper tones and more profound guidance coming from the Soul and the great depths of consciousness unfolding. Tune into your spiritual heart at this time and seek the guidance of your Soul, your intuition, and your inner wisdom. “As The Surface Waves Churn, Dive Deep Beneath To Learn.”

“Get Clear, Cut The Crap, and Move Forward”
Now begins eclipse season and the reason for our mantra. The word eclipse means to “cut” or “clip.” They occur when the Sun, the Moon, and the Earth align at the mystical points in the sky called the Moon’s Nodes. For the journey of the Soul and the Collective Consciousness, these are points of evolution, transformation, and cutting away what is not serving the greater harmony, meaning the cosmic flow of Karma & Dharma.
These portals of transformation will occur whether we are conscious of them or not, so it is best to get clear and tune into what is being called to the cutting block. Is this bad or good? Neither— it depends on our own free will choices and understanding of our karma and dharma. If we are aligned, this could be like the farmer in an abundant wheat field harvesting with a grateful heart because the time is right. Or it can be the revelation of a karmic pattern that we previously were unable to see or unwilling to acknowledge, brought to the forefront so that we can cut it out and transform it, allowing us to move forward with more harmony and grace.

"Cancel Your Doubt & Trust"
Trust. Wholeness. Coherence. Harmony.
Speaking these words calls in their essence. We feel trust when we speak and meditate on trust. We feel more whole when we visualize and embrace wholeness. We feel coherent and harmonious when we use language and ideas that support these concepts.
When we hold doubt in our minds and thoughts, it clouds our inner vision and purity of heart. Doubt is a veil that covers our innate nature of trust, faith, and love.
We are moving through cycles of great change in our inner and outer worlds. Our perceptions and desires may be shifting. Collectively, we are being magnetized toward love, connection, inter-being, and trust. Trust that these changes are rhythms and tones revealing more of the heart’s true coherence and possibilities for inter-being. Let doubt softly surrender to trust and be held. Know that so many are wanting, praying, dancing, singing, and loving for these healing and revealing times. Hold each other up and trust. Many energies this moon cycle support and illuminate the “call to cancel your doubt and trust.”

Quit Your Cryin’ And Be The Lion!
The sage Ramana Maharishi taught that the path to Self-realization is through the Spiritual Heart. All other manifestations we encounter along the journey are merely illusions born of ego and mind. When distracted, our minds constantly seek outside the Self, becoming lost in maya. But when turned inward toward the cave of the heart—toward Brahman—we begin to realize our true Self. The wisdom lies in its simplicity: we are asked to “drop the mind into the heart.”

"Rise With The Sun, And Catch The Energy Of The Day"
“Rise With The Sun, And Catch The Energy Of The Day.” This is a beautiful teaching from the yogic tradition that our teacher Saul David Raye shared with us, and we feel it is true. When you rise with the Sun, you catch the energy and spirit of the day- and the life. The Sun is an external guide to mirror our own inner sun of the heart which the yogis call the Hridyam.

"Rock Your Gypsy Soul"
Astrology Report: This astrology cycle is filled with retrogrades, direct movements, seasonal shifts, planetary sign transitions, eclipses, and abundant Pisces, Virgo, and Aries energy. The cosmos is vibrating, and it’s here to awaken your soul. All of this energy makes us feel the Van Morrison song “Into the Mystic.” The mystic embodies Pisces energy, and Van belts out, “Rock Your Gypsy Soul.” This serves as our theme for the lunar cycle.

“Don’t Suffocate On Your Own Hate. Meditate On The Spiritual State.”
In truth, all of astrology is about our union with the spiritual state. All of the astrological signs are consciousness rays illuminating the same Universal Energy and the same Central Sun of Spirit. Just as each of us is a ray of consciousness radiating out from the One, we are all one energy, one love. This is the essence, foundation, and core of the Yogic Teachings and Astrology.
