it’s monday, april 18, & moon moves from libra into scorpio late morning mountain time while being supported & transported by the starspace called vishakha. whereas libra vibrates with the frequency of sociability, of how we show up in relationship, scorpio vibrates with the fears & vulnerability that can arise in relationship as a result of revealing our true selves. did we reveal too much? not enough? do they still like us, or are they just pretending to? what did they really mean when they said [fill in the blank]?
darkness can seem to prevail in the stormy emotional waters of scorpio, but light is stronger & brighter than darkness is dark; light will always win. &, as radhanath swami has said: “we should try to avoid tuning into negative forces, b/c every time we do, our receptivity to positive forces reduces. if we avoid all these other stations & tune into the channel of the supreme power, then our receptivity for spirituality becomes much deeper.” i’m not suggesting that we spiritually bypass, but that we try to be the witness, not attach, succumb, be sucked into a negative vortex, by being vigilant, keeping our torches well lit & our eyes wide open.
vishakha brings a lesson about what can seem like dueling urges—toward the material & toward the spiritual—but are really, like the two strands of dna that wrap around each other to form a helix, dual supports for our embodied existence: a material foundation allows us to pursue our spiritual goals; a foundation in spirituality gives meaning to our material existence.
it’s the second lunar day, the second phase of the waning moon, which is connected to lord krishna & the merging of the material & the spiritual as well. krishna, aka god, delighted in his earthly existence & inspired devotion in other earthlings. how can you bring a sense of devotion, godliness, into your connections? what would you create if you brought god into the process?
monday is owned by the moon, who just wants everyone to get along, feel the ur-connection of one & all, who just wants peace, peace, peace.
“peace is a balanced expression of cooperation.”—frank böhm
