AstroYoga: applying Jyotiṣa to the practice of body, breath and inner conduct.
01
Energy Forecast
September 2026 marks a change of regime. After the overload of August, the climate becomes more analytical. It calls for revisiting what has been lived, distinguishing what is useful within it, then reorganising action.
Mercury becomes the guiding thread of the month: entry into Virgo, passage through Uttaraphalgunī and then Hasta, before Citrā. On 12 and 13 September, the Moon successively activates the first two fields: understanding must become structure, then precise action.
From the 17th, the Sun enters Virgo. Mars then moves into Cancer and Puṣya. The end of the month shifts the focus towards protection and closure: Pūrṇimā on the 26th, followed by a very close Moon-Saturn conjunction in Revatī on the 27th.
Jupiter in Cancer-Āśleṣā sustains a process of assimilation and untying beneath the surface.
Adjustment may become permanent hesitation.
Assessment of the three bodies
fine movements, shoulders, arms, wrists, chest, diaphragm and quality of support. The second half of the month adds a need for protection and recovery.
Prāṇa needs less to be slowed than it did in August, and more to be distributed correctly.
The mind becomes more capable of distinguishing, but also more tempted to correct. The central difficulty is recognising when analysis has fulfilled its function.
Sequences
Punarvasu. Restore before asking more of the system.
Resume, untie, strip away. Do not rebuild too quickly.
Uttaraphalgunī and Hasta as priorities; Svātī for adjustment.
Put analysis into action; use Dhaniṣṭhā occasionally if the rhythm runs away.
Puṣya then Revatī. Protect, conclude, and only then restart.
Key dates
Restore, resume, return to what deserves a second chance.
Untie, then strip away. Reduce rather than explain further.
Stabilise, order, refine: the operative core of the month.
Adjust the relationship without losing the axis.
Slow the tempo, then protect what has just been built.
Recognise culmination, complete, conserve, close the cycle.
02
The Dharma of Time
The Dharma of Time here means right conduct within a qualified time. In September, the faculty of discrimination becomes more available: observe, compare, sort, correct, then act.
Distinguish what truly requires correction.
Looking for a flaw simply because one has learned to look more closely.
Establish a criterion before acting.
Constantly shifting the criterion after acting.
Adjust the form to reality.
Force reality to fit the form.
Recognise when a task has been sufficiently completed.
Delay closure in the name of impossible perfection.
The main risk in September:« rightness that hardens because it no longer knows when to stop correcting. »
Meditation guided by the cosmos
may discernment become right action, may precision remain flexible, may I know how to correct without controlling, and recognise the moment when the action is complete.
03
The practices
A kriyā is not an isolated posture. It is a three-stage unit of work: support posture, target posture and integration posture. The support posture prepares the ground. The target carries out the operation. Integration gathers the effect.
Restore
return to one’s own field before deciding what needs to be corrected.
In Gemini: ears, throat, shoulder blades, nose; in Cancer: nose, lungs, respiratory system, chest, stomach, diaphragm, pancreas, upper lobes of the liver, rib cage
When the Moon crosses Punarvasu, Mars is activated. Use this kriyā if energy returns but the breath remains dispersed: restore first, without accelerating.
Rule of reduction
When September becomes too mental, do not look for a more complex sequence. If dispersion predominates, return to Punarvasu. If unfinished business or fatigue predominates, return to Revatī. If the system is stable but the problem remains vague, choose Hasta and define one single criterion. If that criterion is met, the practice is complete.
What enters October must be more precise without being more rigid, better protected without being more closed, and sufficiently complete to no longer require permanent correction.04
The Moon throughout the Month
The data indicate the nakṣatra and tithi present at sunrise in Varaire (France). Their combination provides a daily point of support for directing intention and choosing one of the month’s kriyās.
Mercury enters Hasta while the Moon is still there briefly. Understanding must become gesture. The risk is continuing to correct after the right gesture has already been accomplished.
Hasta. One operation, one criterion of success.
The monthly climate remains the priority. Activation thresholds refine the practice at specific moments. One main kriyā is enough; secondary practices intervene only when their threshold becomes effective.
