it’s sunday, may 17, & moon is in the starspace called uttarabhadra, which occupies a sky-slice of pisces. pisces fosters our connection to ultimate reality, which can be confusing when we’re still tethered to the earth or when we’re not ready to experience the truth. & so, rather than dive into the mystery through, say, meditation, we might just want to check out of the reality we know, whether through binge-watching netflix or drugs or alcohol. jupiter, who is the guru, rules pisces: beware false gurus—is (re)watching all eight seasons of “game of thrones” going to serve you, bring you closer to truth? only you know the answer.
uttarabhadra is ruled by ahir budhnya, a serpent deity who lives deep in the ocean (aka, our consciousness). snakes/serpents are personifications of wisdom & this particular serpent has to come to the surface to breathe. just as yogis have to come out of the cave, live their yoga off the mat, so the serpent can’t remain immersed but must share its acquired wisdom with the world. we are spiritual beings living an embodied existence: our challenge is to live our wisdom & share it. are you ready?
it’s the eleventh tithi (lunar phase), which is related to the practices that ground us & are soul-nourishing. we do our practices b/c they’re so essential that when we don’t it feels like something’s missing, like we started the day on the wrong foot. we do our practices with a sense of perhaps unacknowledged hope, hope that we’re going to feel different afterward, b/c we do, don’t we? my teacher sharon gannon famously says, “with repetition the magic is forced to arise.” that means with accumulated effort, that means showing up consistently, not once in a while. for me, meditation is as essential as coffee—when i miss a day it’s like someone made me decaf instead of a triple espresso. meditation is what allows me to tap into the magic. what does it for you? today is a good day to recommit to practices if you’ve let them slide, if you’ve been willing to deny yourself the magic that is your due.
sunday is the sun’s day, which makes it a good day to feel into your physicality, move your body, recharge your soular battery.
& 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! ~.~
