Yoga Collisions ~ Never Say Never

Just yesterday I was thinking I may never write another Cosmic Collision post again because I cannot recall the last time I had a truly Divine Encounter. So true to form, I had one today. It really lifted my spirits to recognize that there still is guidance amidst the hellscape of 2025 America.

So this is how it went: I have been craving pasta at a newish restaurant in a nearby town. They feature three creations on the menu, made with high quality ingredients and home made pasta. I chose a tuna dish with anchovies, capers, cherry tomatoes, and olives. The pasta was  al dente and the meal resembled an Italian summer on a plate. I find that light, healthy authentic food is what my body often requires. As long as it is delicious, that is.

I had errands to run and a time limit to consider as I make my way back to the car. The weather is absolutely delightful and transiting Jupiter just conjoined my natal Mars, on the 6th house cusp. Fortunate energy around health and work and routine activities ?   Maybe ?

I spot a Yoga place near the parking lot with a few tables by the window, I was curious about what kind of classes and services they offered. I would not call the town of Ambler bohemian but it has a slight edge to it. I am not sure why I felt the nudge to cross the street and walk into the studio. There was nothing striking about the place. I just followed a feeling from my internal GPS. It was automatic. They were out of flyers and I wanted a schedule so I asked the woman at the desk for one. She did not have any but she gave me a card and described the offerings. She struck me as young and bubbly and enthusiastic. A fiery sort ( like Jupiter/ Mars energy ) . I told her I could benefit from more movement and community. I often guide my clients to consider yoga for these very reasons. I haven’t taken a class in years, but every so often I revisit yoga. I like the practice and am quite fond of most things Indian. I decided to ask an off topic question, prefacing it by saying that I am intuitive and while she may not be able to assist, I felt led to ask anyway.  I asked her if she could recommend a good psychic reader.  She responded by saying that she gives readings. However it is not highly advertised.   She started talking about herself and mentioned astrology. I told her that I practice astrology. She asked me to take a seat and we started talking about our charts to see if there was synastry. I said I picked up  water energy and she has a Scorpio Ascendant. She also has a Leo stellium on the 9th house involving Mars and Jupiter. Like I said, she was quite fiery! She mentioned that she wasn’t supposed to come in today. I certainly wasn’t planning to visit a Yoga studio anytime soon. The more we chatted, the more obvious it became to me that this was a Divine encounter, probably planned in the Astral. I mentioned that while I tend to be reserved, I am known to walk up to strangers in certain situations if I get a nudge to do so. I was so aware that this type of encounter seemed so unlikely in recent years. We talked some more about her life and what I noticed in her chart. I was so spot on with the examples I gave. I am a skilled astrologer, but was a bit surprised that so much if what I said with no preparation was so precisely true. I knew in the moment that this was an atypical experience.

I began to tear up and felt a bit vulnerable. I knew some of the tears were due to my gratitude for being in the flow. I felt so fortunate to be in communion with someone, without judgement or reason.

I do not know if I will take a class or schedule a reading, but it is such a relief to be able to manifest again. My day – to – day has been so very dark and foreboding. A major takeaway is that it is beneficial for me to be around hopeful, optimistic spirits. This woman was very positive and sunny. I can be very negative and cynical, when push comes to shove. I wonder if my work is partially to blame. Maybe I underestimate the extent of what I absorb from my clients. In any case, I am grateful for today and how I heeded my inner voice. Even in these dog days of summer, Autumn eventually arrives.  Never say never, when it comes to communion.
