As we move into February, a churning begins in the sky above and within us below.
Five planets stack the sign of sidereal Capricorn forming a stellium, which could be compared with a single shaft of light—your spinal column. 

This month you locate your “spine” in all areas of your life. If you find you’ve been lacking “backbone” for a while, you may see this as a time to develop one. 
It’s a time to stand upright in your purpose even if you don’t know what it is.
Just holding the posture of purpose (like a practicing Zen Buddhist) will entrain your body to recognize it when it shows up.

A stellium is a rare astrological event.

It’s powerful in that it brings everything focused on a single point.

It brings crystal clarity to all your internal impressions that are buried deep inside.
It will root them out, bring them to the surface, and provide you an inventory of what you’ve been hanging onto (without realizing it) as it leaves you.

Yes, it’s that powerful of a time. 

Are there bumps ahead? 

Yes. 

But we are not put off guard by anything, because we are one-pointed.
This much the pandemic has taught us.
This much yoga has taught us. 

This is a genuine moment of one-ness within an appearance of separation.
Mercury goes retrograde at the start of the month.
He’s forced to look inward. And so are we. 

So many of us are tired of looking within. We’re pandemic weary. 

Over the years I’ve found chanting Sanskrit to be especially helpful in times of stress and uncertainty.

I feel now more than ever should this powerful “technology of consciousness” be made available to help us get through.
