it’s thursday, november 7, & moon is in the starspace called purvabhadra, which straddles aquarius & pisces, providing a segue between those two energies, although most of purva b is in aquarius. so we’ll mostly still be focused on how we can be of greater service to the world, to humanity, until late this afternoon, when moon moves into the pisces portion of this asterism & pisces expands that focus beyond the world itself, the material world, & we get curious about what lies beyond this mortal coil & what that says about the nature of who we are. really.
purvabhadra brings a spark of knowing that there is more to us than what we can perceive with our mind & senses, that the true meaning of life lies beyond all “this.” the energy of this nakshatra is connected to the form of shiva who stands on one leg doing tapas. tapas is the heat created from the desire to transform & do whatever it takes to do so. which is why we practice asana—not to get yoga butts but to create enough mental & physical heat to purge our bodies & minds of the toxins getting in the way of our spiritual evolution.
today could be a good day to get with your favorite one-legged yoga pose & channel your inner shiva, your desire to know, to become: it doesn’t have to be natarajasana, aka dancing shiva (&, no, mine doesn’t look like the one pictured here either!)—vrksasana (tree pose) would work just fine.
it’s the eleventh lunar day, which supports committing or recommitting to spiritual practices, getting your yogic routines on, whatever helps your soul shine brighter, which might mean a fast or mini-cleanse of some kind or, um, unpacking natarajasana!
thursday is ruled by jupiter, who is just … starting … to … make … his … way … into … sagittarius after his yearlong stay in scorpio. expect jupiter to begin revealing the truth, putting the lie to all the paranoid fantasies & hidden agendas of scorpio, & asking us to delete teachers or teachings that don’t serve our highest expression of self to make room for those that do & will. meanwhile, do connect to what inspires you today.
& that’s your daily bliss! jyotish, vedic astrology, is the science of light. if you want to shine more light on your life, contact me for a session! ~.~
