I went to The Dude’s class again last week. His name is George actually but if you check out his picture you’ll see why I call him “The Dude.”

(When I say “you’ll see” this assumes you do not have an underdeveloped right brain and/or have not been living in a cave with no cinema for at least a decade and a half. Just in case, I’ll explain… “The Dude” is a character played by Jeff Bridges in the film The Big Lebowski. George looks like “The Dude” to me.)

Ok, so anyway… My old Capricorn friend went with me. She is a yoga teacher, by the way. She studied Integral Yoga and teaches a pretty laid back yin style class. I enjoy dragging her to these very Marsy/Yangy Iyengar classes with me.

As is one of my patterns, I have started to play business with her. I have Sun/Saturn in the second, but it’s in Libra so I need a friend to stimulate this part of me. When we get together, we start to talk about our practice and that usually leads into “wouldn’t it be great if we had a studio…” which leads into “Let’s go look at places for rent.” things like that.

I have done this with lots of friends. I have a huge stack of fantasy business plans. Usually the other person either flakes out or the business plan is just ludicrous so we don’t go through with it. I don’t care, I still find it entertaining. So this is part of what we do when we hang out. We talk about our future yoga studio.

We decided as part of our “due diligence” we would visit every yoga studio in the DFW metroplex together. So during our last coffee appointment, we made another appointment with each other to go see George.

I also invited my Cancer friend to tag along. She has been getting into yoga lately. She has Scoliosis and had to wear a back brace in high school. She said she is “finally getting around” to doing those exercises her doctors told her to do.

So, there we were, a T-Square of cardinal bitches taking on the current Aries Stellium in our yoga pants.

We picked up Nessa (Cancer friend) right before class. She had just gotten off of work and was chowing down on some noodles. She has a Taurus moon. It was a “Lay off me! I’m starving!” kind of moment.

Fast Forward…

We’re in class practicing Sirsasana (head stand) which means we were upside down. Nessa comes out of the pose and lets a little burp fly. George says “How you doing over there?”

“I feel kinda nauseous.”

Nanda (The Cap) says in a very proper I-know-why-because-I’m-a-teacher/authority voice “It’s because she ate before class. You should wait at least 3 hours after eating before you practice.”

George, The Dude, our teacher, just rubs his belly and says (please note the Texas accent) “Whadjoo have? Like a big ole Chile Relleno or somthin?”

I found out later that George also has a Taurus moon.

In fact he’s all earth. Capricorn Sun, Taurus moon, Virgo Rising. The man is a rock. He also has Sun conjunct Jupiter which accounts for “The Dude” factor, also makes a good teacher.

Do you know any “Dude” types?
