The connection between yoga and astrology
Yoga and astrology are two totally distinct systems, Sweet explains.
Astrology is math and astronomy, and it can provide context for the way you experience life.
At your center, youll feel a sense of calm or balance.
(If you dont know your signs, heres how to read and understand yournatal chart.)
The pose involves balancing on one leg while holding your other leg behind you in a curved position.
Taurus
As an earth sign, you’ll want to try out these grounding poses, Taurus.
Visualizing the rise and fall of these three parts can help promote deeper, more relaxing breaths.
“Durga Pranayama really helps you feel centered, grounded, and stable in your body, Sweet says.
A Taurus moon is very determined and persevering.

Gemini thinks in black or whiteit’s on or off, it’s thoughts or feelings, Sweet says.
So again, there’s that binary.
Cat-cow pose shows their body that they can move between two things with harmony.
It doesn’t have to be so abrupt.
Cancer
As a water sign, you’ll want to try these flowy poses, Cancer.
It’s close to the earth, and so it feels steady.
It’s also a heart opener, and if held long enough, it can be kind of challenging.
So it’s going to activate that heat inside them that they need.
You want the spaces between the inhale and the exhale to become seamless.
Leo
Fan or cool your inner fire with these exercises, Leo.
Hold your arms out to the sides or in a prayer pose.

I want Leo rising to have confidence and faith in their ability to choose and step forward.
Virgo
Take time to ground to the earth, as this is your primary element, Virgo.
There’s a part of the Virgo nature that tends toward anxiety because they are our healers and fixers.
Virgo is devoted to helping everybody out and fixing everything.
This is the best breathwork for calming an overactive mind, Sweet says.
Eagle poseis the posture of focus.
Its the posture of determination and of solving problems.
Libra
Find balance as an air sign with these poses, Libra.
You’re balancing one side of your body with another, and it’s also extremely hard-core work.
Thats so important for Libra because Libras don’t love to make decisions.
Alternate nostril breathing will help bring them back into focus.
Continue to switch until you find a rhythm.
“Your balance and the ability to see both sides is your superpower.
Scorpio
As a water sign, you feel deeply, Scorpio.
Unlock your emotions with these three postures.
Scorpio is a water sign, but it’s the most fiery water sign.
To do this pose, start on your hands and knees on the mat.
Slide one leg in front of you in a bent position and stretch your back leg out long.
Start by lying down with your feet firmly planted on the mat.
Sagittarius
As another fiery sign, these poses will feel great, Sagittarius.
To do it, lie flat on your stomach and then lift your head and chest off the mat.
A Sagittarius moon will end thisbreathworkfeeling revitalized and full of life.
Plus, it’s really supportive of their optimistic and positive attitude,” she adds.
While balancing, reach your arms up to the sky.
Capricorn
Feel the earth beneath you with these heart-pumping poses, Capricorn.
To do this pose, think about doing a regular push-up, but a little more slowly.
Ujjayiis the breath of victory, Sweet says.
This is going to help Capricorn feel the respect that they so desire.
Rising: Chair pose (Utkatasana)
This pose stokes the fire that drives Capricorn to achieve.
Here, they get to look at how hard theyre workingbecause this pose is tough, Sweet says.
Shift your weight toward your heels as you extend your arms out in front of you.
Aquarius
Sometimes, it can be tough to focus inward as an air sign.
But these poses will help you do so, Aquarius.
This posture is also known as a “forward fold.”
Then, slowly reach your hands back to hold the outer edges of your feet or ankles.
Pisces
Try these postures to reconnect with your water element, Pisces.
To do this posture, start by lying flat on your back with your legs out long.
Prop up on your elbows and arch your back until the top of your head is touching the mat.
