it’s friday, may 15, & moon is in the starspace called shatabhishak, which occupies a sky-slice of aquarius. when the 5th dimension sang about the age of aquarius, they were conjuring an era of harmony & peace, trust & sympathy, a time of unity consciousness. people who have instinctively & spontaneously sprung into helpful action during this pandemic, throwing up websites to deliver groceries to the homebound, sewing masks for free, raising money for out-of-work freelancers, organizing babysitting services for healthcare workers, who have, in short, revived the essence of a mutual-aid society & have been hugely expressing “we’re all in this together & i’m going to do my part”—that’s the spirit of aquarius.
shatabhishak means “100 doctors,” but, b/c sanskrit is such an inscrutable language, a language in which meaning can be endlessly unpacked—the devas who gave us this language clearly wanted us to think, to ponder, to go beneath the surface—it can also mean the opposite, aka “100 poisons.” that’s how homeopathy, & vaccines (but i’m not going there!) work—a smidge of the illness inspires our bodies to action to heal us. so sometimes we have to think outside the box, try something that seems contrary, exhaust all modalities, see 100 doctors, before we realize that we are the cure. let’s see what sparks of insight illuminate a cure today.
it’s the ninth tithi (lunar phase), which is connected to serpents, which can be toxic but also represent wisdom. can you alchemize your poisons, in this case your poisonous thoughts & emotions (i mean, if you have them), into medicine for your soul?
friday is ruled by venus, who is that part of us that enjoys life through our senses—who delights in seeing, hearing, tasting, touching & smelling. follow your delight today. venus is in his (sorry, all planets are considered male) happy place in taurus, where he’s bringing earth wisdom & healing—the first step in healing a wound is owning it, which is a pretty wise & earthy observation that i can’t take credit for but that i can pass on. meanwhile, venus also just went retrograde the day before yesterday & will remain so until june 25. retrograde planets invite us to reflect on what they represent, universally & personally. in venus’s case it’s on our relationships. you could say, & i’m going to, that the second step in healing involves reflection.
& that’s your daily bliss! jyotish, vedic astrology, is the science of light. if you want to shine more light on your life, please contact me for a session! ~.~
