it’s wednesday, may 29, & moon is still floating in the deep, spiritual waters of pisces but now in the starspace called revati. revati is the last nakshatra of the zodiac, so we are completing another revolution of evolution today. like a shepherd herding his/her/their flock home after grazing in the fields, we are being led home today, home being the next jumping off point for yet more evolution, home being the place from which we begin again.
“home is a name, a word, it is a strong one; stronger than magician ever spoke, or spirit answered to, in strongest conjuration.” —charles dickens
revati is the wife of balarama, krishna’s older brother. according to mythology, balarama was transferred from the womb of his biological mother (devaki) to the womb of rohini (oh, what miracles could be performed in more sattvic times!) in order to save him from being killed by the demon king kamsa (long story!). after krishna was born, balarama became his brother’s keeper & helper, the personal assistant to the divine, you might say. revati is the feminine aspect of this nurturing & protective power, supporting the expression of nature’s potential
the presiding deity of this asterism is pushan, who guides both the living & the dead, who holds space for our transitions, helps people get where they need to go (ie, home!) without fear or anxiety, looks after us when we’re feeling helpless. so this is a good day to surrender to that support & to offer it to others, to the planet & her beings, to be a good shepherd yourself.
it’s the eleventh phase of the waning moon, which makes it a good day for yogic & other spiritual practices, not just talking about doing them but actually walking your talk.
& that’s your daily bliss—wednesday is ruled by mercury, so use your words but use them wisely, indulge your curiosity, deal with technical nonsense if necessary.
p.s. jyotish, vedic astrology, is the science of light. if you want to shine a little more light on your life, on why you are here & how the planets are guiding you on your path, i’d love to support you with a session. contact me! ~.~
