Navigating Intense Energies and Upcoming Astrological Alignments
It’s intense out there, and the energy isn’t likely to ease up anytime soon. We are all in this Earth School together and we chose to incarnate at the end of the Kali Yuga era. As we navigate the end of the Ascension Cycle during this age of deception, we are reminded of the training, tools and resources we have to move through the intensity with grace and ease. We must be sure to care for ourselves which includes maintaining our practice and also helping others. Here is a passage from the upcoming ECKASHA Mystery School Manual," It has taken you 84 million lifetimes or more to arrive at this incarnation where you are reading these words. As Angelic Humans, we find ourselves ensnared in a cycle of reincarnation. Our DNA has been tampered with, leading us into a vicious loop of pain, addiction, and suffering as we seek meaning in it all. Why are we here? What is our purpose, and how do we ascend?
For millennia, we’ve been fed lies to keep us trapped in the matrix and unaware of the truth. Through this book and its practices, it is my prayer that millions awaken from the delusional dream of this 3D "reality". Almost everything we’ve been taught is a lie, intended to keep us programmed, powerless, and enslaved.
Various religious practices have brainwashed us into believing we are powerless and that only select ascended masters like Jesus, Buddha, or Mohammed can “save” us. All we must do is pray to them, pledge allegiance, and surrender our power... then, if we behave well, we’ll ascend to heaven. Meanwhile, we navigate a world where we often feel lost and question our purpose as we strive to match the select few master teachers who transcended the matrix.
These teachings are esoteric, aimed at guiding you to experience realities beyond this three dimensional world. In fact, within the multiverse, numerous dimensions and realities exist. As Angelic Humans, we are awakening to the realization that we are not alone in the universe and we possess immense power and mastery." In order to tap into this mastery, we must first break the patterns and heal from past trauma. These teachings and this school are designed to to just that. More information on the upcoming ECKASHA Mystery School is found here, https://www.communiteayoga.com/eckasha-mystery-school
In order to help navigate these challenging times, we've put together some tools including astrology, yoga/mediation practices and supportive events that can aid in aligning with the new energies and astrological shifts.
Astrology Update
People are asking, "What’s going on with the astrology right now?" The answer is: Allot! This is one of the most intense astrology weeks of the year and could affect us for the next 5 years until Jupiter and Saturn oppose each other in 2029. We're approaching some very challenging T-squares with Jupiter conjunct Mars at 16 degrees squaring Saturn retrograde in Pisces. This is an amplification of aggressive and warrior-like energy. Jupiter-Saturn squares initiate some of the biggest changes in our lives. The last time these two came together they were with Pluto in 2020. The exact alignment occurs on Wednesday, August 14th.
Both Mars and Jupiter represent fire signs and they are in the sign of Gemini, symbolized by the twins. Gemini represents intellect, learning, and new ways of thinking, but it can also lead to scattered thoughts or a head-focused mindset. Mars brings action, and Jupiter expands that energy. This combination, which happens every two years, is setting the stage for something new to be born. What that is, we do not know yet. How we react is up to us. Looking at the malefic side of the equation, Mars, the warrior, and Jupiter, the expander, are increasing aggressive tendencies globally—just look at places like Venezuela, Israel, and Russia. This energy can lead to irritation, frustration, and a lack of patience. This ongoing theme will persist through the rest of the year, with Jupiter representing law and Saturn symbolizing institutions and government structures. Mars in the Saturn square is linked to discipline and the armed forces. Because it is in Gemini it can be the constriction of information and our communication. Think of social media and the news that the Prime Minister of England is having law enforcement arrest people who post about the current riots on their social media accounts.
Mars square Saturn is a huge stop sign and Saturn retrograde in Pisces is like a karmic life reveiew. If this alignment occurs in the lower part of your chart, it might feel like you’re pushing the gas pedal while Saturn is holding the emergency brake. Conversely, if it’s the opposite, the world may seem to be moving too fast while you, like Saturn, are trying to slow things down.
The mutable signs—Virgo, Pisces, Gemini, and Sagittarius—are particularly affected at this time.
As well, Mercury is retrograde conjunct Venus in Virgo, highlighting the need for service related life changes. This energy encourages us to communicate better, review things very carefully and shift from service to self, prevalent in corporate America and government, to serving others. It requires a degree of spiritual maturity and responsibility. The Sun in Leo reminds us to stay in the energy of love. The Sabian Symbol for the 4th degree of Virgo is "Black and White Children Play Together Happily, Free from cultural bias and polarization." Another relevant Sabian Symbol for the Mars/Jupiter alignment is "A soldier disobeys authoritarian orders of an aggressive society and follows his conscience." These symbols remind us of the need to come together despite our differences, a key theme of the Age of Aquarius.
Remembering, every planet has both positive and negative aspects and we live on a polarity planet, it’s up to us to choose where we focus our energy. Two people can stand on the same street corner, yet one lives in heaven and the other in hell. Patience and focused attention are the essential keys. Saturn retrograde in Pisces highlights escapism in its various forms. Perhaps look at Saturn’s limitations and restrictions as opportunities to cultivate qualities of reflection and patience rather than feeling that we have to check out or disassociate because the circumstances are too stressful. While Mars traditionally represents war, this energy could also be channeled into achieving goals, particularly those related to new intiatives,intellect, learning, writing and other forms of communication.
At the end of this newsletter, you’ll find some practices and events to help you stay balanced and composed amidst the world’s madness. You can be the still, silent observer, offering support to others caught in the matrix.
Full Moon Supermoon in Aquarius- More intense t-sqaures are happening for the first supermoon of the year this Monday August 19th 11:26 am PST. Also known as the Sturgeon Moon, this Supermoon will be particularly potent and wild, with three challenging t-squares, one of them with Uranus amplifying its unpredictable energy. Notably, this is the same day as the Democratic National Convention—a challenging timing, clearly they are not working with astrologers, as Mercury squares Uranus, likely bringing shocking news. This Supermoon is also conjunct the USA’s moon while it's squaring Uranus, heightening the rebellious energy in the population. Get ready for a tidal wave of truth approaching, as Uranus represents the unexpected, authenticity, and innovation.
In order to assist with this energy we will host a special Kundalini class with sound healing on Sunday, August 18th, at 9:30 am. If you’re local, please join us in person or online here https://www.communiteayoga.com/events/full-moon-in-aquarius-session
At the end of the month, on August 26th, there will be a rare 6-planet alignment involving Neptune, Saturn, Jupiter, Uranus, Mars, and Mercury. As we move through the Lionsgate activations, this intense astrology, and into the September Equinox, remember that balance is key. Yoga and breathwork are invaluable during these times. Returning to the Law of One and remembering that "God and Me, Me and God are One" is vital.
Yoga and Meditation Practices
A great practice for these times is the Long Ek Ong Kar chanting meditation, also known as the Long Chant, Morning Call, or the Thunderbolt Mantra.
This Ashtang (eight-component) mantra—Ek Ong Kar Sat Nam Siri Wahe Guru—literally reprograms your brain, allowing you to respond intuitively rather than reactively. The mantra’s syllables each hold specific meaning:
Ek – One (there is absolute oneness)
Ong – Source that manifests
Kar – Creation
Sat – Truth/life
Nam – Identity (Infinity that I Am the true identity)
Siri – Greatness
Wahe – Wow (it brings humility)
Guru – From darkness to light
Chanting this mantra helps erase subconscious blocks, reprogram your blood cells, and distribute a sense of calm throughout your body. It also stimulates the vagus nerve, filling your physical being with hope and gratitude. Practice this chant for 31 minutes over 40 days, and you’ll notice extraordinary shifts in your life. Here is a great video with Guru Charan Singh leading the meditation. https://youtu.be/d8b-BfsNRVU?si=yFmWD6HX5nisGS1D
Kirtan Kriya is another excellent practice for these times. It balances the mind and the tattvas, reduces stress, improves sleep, and enhances your pranic body. This kriya is one of the most studied Kundalini practices with UCLA and other univeristies studying its affects on Alzheimers caregives. https://youtu.be/jfKEAiwrgeY?si=JArdLkeeJd6C7_2x
Here are more supportive events for you during these times.

Receiving a private healing from a Tibetan Buddhist monk who has dedicated his life to prayer service is a rare experience. The Vajravidarin Private Healing is a ritual of purification and has three stages: purification and removing of negativities; removing subtle negative imprints; and offering protection. You will sit with the The Vajra master and his translator. Prior to your healing, he will take the form of this Buddha of Purification and use his power to cleanse participants from sickness, and other factors against a congenial life. After removing subtle negative imprints, the vajra master will instruct through visualization and ritual and then take the negative subtle imprints and transform them into Inexhaustible Bliss.
