Uranus and Saturn make a last gasp at competing with Neptune this week, before Neptune completely takes over the action in the zodiac near the end of the week. What a finish for Neptune…Moon, Venus (Neptune’s acolyte), Sun, Chiron, and Mars will all reside in the Pisces sign, along with Neptune, with the Sun’s ingress on February 18. Yet almost as soon as Neptune dominates the heavens, Mars moves into his home sign of Aries. Mars hates to be controlled! And undoubtedly Neptune’s watery, nebulous influence competing with him is no exception. Mars likes action, taking the initiative, and forging ahead with plenty of energy and fire, and what better sign to do so than in Aries? Additionally, perhaps Uranus regains a subtle ally in Mars. Electricity and fire clash with the endless diffuse fog of the watery Neptune.

What might this week portend for you? Consider your Sun sign and rising sign/ascendant as well.

The heart chakra is the central chakra, right smack in the middle of the phenomenal kundalini process. It is the pivot of the human soul, the spiritual hinge of the human mind. In Buddhist circles it is known as heartmind, as it connects the higher and lower aspects of the human condition.

It’s where Shiva (the divine masculine) and Shakti (the divine feminine) are eternally dancing, yin-yang-happy with their moving in and out of being and not-being, mind and no-mind, attachment and detachment, life and death, finitude and infinity. There are infinite lessons hidden within such dancing, most of which are difficult to tap into. For the sake of uncanny exploration, let’s dive into five unconventional ways to trigger the heart chakra.

1) Let your heart break over and over again

Go for a run. Get up and go, get out of your chair and move. These words resonate with me multiple times a week as if it were some form of mantra. I never had a love for running growing up, if anything I despised it until recent. If you are like me and the majority of your working days are desk bound, you will know the stale feeling that can build up throughout the day mentally and physically. No fresh air and maintaining supposedly the worst position for the human body, sitting.

When you fall victim to the physical and mental drain of the daily grind and woes I can recommend one medicine, a simple run. I didn’t start running because I was told to, I normally swayed to weight training in the gym. Running is intrinsically natural, primeval even, whether it was our ancestors chasing prey or running from predators, it would have been a daily activity. We lost this over time as we became kings of the food chain, sinking into the more comfortable existence we now know.

In this modern world, it can be quite challenging to retain perspective and a feeling for the right timing of things that will occur naturally in life. You come here with a plan and upon arrival promptly forget said plan. The result is a feeling of rushing against time and space, fighting against self and divine timing in all things. You second-guess, allow your mind to be prepared for the journey ahead, but in this preparedness forget to simply be directed in every moment by your heart.

The quest to slow down and let it be is something that you can resonate with. You must question what can be gained by us rushing things to be ready before their time. All that is formed within this energy can be artificial, not fit for purpose and empty of all true meaning and depth, taking us down a path that was never meant to be tread by us, just yet.

The principal musical elements are: rhythm ­ tone ­ melody ­ harmony ­ timbre.

1. Rhythm

This is the primordial and fundamental element of music. The music of primitive peoples consists solely of rhythm. It is, indeed, what the poet D’Annunzio has called it, “the heart of music.” Rhythm is the element which has the most intense and immediate influence on man, and it affects directly both the body and the emotions.

Organic life is based on various rhythms: the rhythm of respiration; the rhythm of the heart­beat; the rhythm of the various muscular movements; the rhythm of activity and rest; the rhythms of the various bodily functions, not to speak of the more subtle vibratory rhythms of every cell, every molecule and every atom.It is therefore not surprising that the rhythms of music exercise a powerful influence on those organic rhythms, either stimulating or calming them, harmonizing or creating discord and disruption.
