Constraints are those annoying little pieces of reality that say how you can and can't get from where you are to where you want to be. It's really easy to view these blockages as stopping points rather than guideposts--but that's exactly what Saturn is trying to make us see. Saturn wants us to work WITH reality, rather than be stopped in our tracks by it.
Everyone is working with constraints. There will ALWAYS be constraints. Even if, for example, you win the lottery, so money is no longer a constraint, you will then be bound by other constraints such as the time it takes to realistically accomplish something. Money is the lowest hanging fruit when considering barriers to getting where we want to go. It's easy to say "I'm not where I want to be because I can't afford X, Y, or Z resource that others can afford". While that may be true--sometimes other people DO have an easier time because they have more resources or some other advantage over you. Saturn (especially during retrograde) asks you to challenge that thought and get creative with solutions.
Remember - constraints don't mean something is going away or won't work long term. How you (or we, collectively) work with those constraints or don't (change them or uphold the status quo) determines how we move forward. The presence of constraints does not determine the outcome, how we work with them does.
Tune into this episode to hear historical examples of Saturn's retrograde through Aquarius so you can get a general idea of what to expect collectively.
And, as always, listen until the end to hear yoga practices & journal prompts to help you best work with this energy on a personal level.

This full moon happening on the summer solstice is like the "top of the inhale" of the year. In this podcast episode, we explore why, astrologically and ayurvedically, that is true, and we also explore breathing and body mechanics concepts that will help embody that in our beings. We dive into this exploration of the energetic peak of the year can translate onto your yoga mat, and off the mat in the rest of your endeavors.
As always, we'll end with practical yoga practices and journal prompts to help you streamline your life and stay aligned with your highest ideals.

Have you ever practiced yoga nidra (even if you haven't, stick with me) that asked you to cultivate an inner resource? Typically, these guided meditations rely on memory, which is not very reliable when it comes to sensations and embodiment.
Heck, even according to the yoga sutras, memory is a block to yoga (memory is one of the 5 vrittis, and yoga is defined as the cessation of vrittis, or mind chatter).
This new moon in sidereal Taurus marks the beginning of a long cycle of expansion (too much of a good thing can be a bad thing -- think mo' money mo' prolems) and upheaval when it comes to our sense of stability & security, especially related to our finances.
So having an inner resource is more crucial than it's ever been! How do you cultivate an inner sense of safety amid life's eternal chaos? This episode is here to help :)
We'll explore the concept of cultivating inner resources--why and how you should do it--in a way that doesn't rely on memory. In this episode, you'll learn how to embody stability and sensuality, harness the long-term cycles of Jupiter and Uranus in Taurus, and make the most of your financial growth. Plus, we'll share yoga practices and journal prompts to help you thrive, as always.

There's a chinese proverb that goes something like "move, and the way will open" and that's the vibe for June! Tune in to find out what that means and what to do about it.
June is the perfect time to take initiative, embrace change, and maintain practicality in your endeavors. I'll share insights on harnessing Mars in Aries energy to get things done and how Uranus in Taurus might shake up your stability, helping you navigate these changes with confidence. You'll also get all the other key dates and events to watch for, including the new moon in Taurus and the start of Gemini season, along with practical tips to utilize these astrological influences to your advantage.
Plus, as with every episode, I offer yoga practices and journal prompts tailored to support your journey throughout the month, ensuring you stay grounded and focused. Listen in to make informed choices and set yourself up for success as you navigate the astrological landscape of June 2024.

Get ready to find new solutions to old problems, and make sure those solutions are in alignment with your personal values. While you're at it, you might consider to what degree your personal values are shaped by your current environment and your upbringing, and if that is serving you or not. (journal prompts to help sort this out in the episode, of course!)
Uranus moves to Taurus in a couple weeks! This is a major deal given that Uranus stays in a sign for 7-8 years, depending on retrogrades (it will make its first shift out of taurus in 2031 and move to gemini for good in 2032).
This period is likely to influence our stability, values, and the potential for personal and global revolutions in areas like finance, agriculture, and environmental activism. Learn about the historical significance of past transits, and explore how to align your actions with your values for a more grounded and fulfilling life. Tune in for practical tips, journaling prompts, and yoga practices to help you navigate this transformative period.

In this episode of the YOGISCOPES podcast, hosted by Rosemary Holbrook, the discussion centers around the themes of independence, relationships, and the balance between the two, in the context of the upcoming full moon on April 23rd, 2024.
Rosemary delves into the growth patterns of grass to illustrate the concept of interdependence, contrasting the idea of a single blade of grass (which is impossible) with the reality of multiple blades growing from one seed. This serves as a metaphor for the episode's focus on the full moon in Libra, an air sign associated with relationships and diplomacy.
The episode guides listeners through the significance of the full moon, its relation to releasing or culminating aspects concerning relationships, and its connectivity to the Vedic astrology concept of the Swati Nakshatra – symbolized by a single, yet interconnected, blade of grass.
Rosemary shares her personal journey, including a hiatus from the podcast due to health and personal reasons, and her decision to integrate her offerings more cohesively under Mars Hill Yoga.
She offers journal prompts and yoga practices to help listeners navigate the themes of independence vs. co-dependence, and the importance of embracing interdependence. The episode culminates with an encouragement for listeners to reflect on their relationship patterns and how they align with the Libra full moon's energies.
