Kali day 4: Kurukulla: Nitya of Enchantment
Om Kurukullayai Namaha
Sun: 21 Aries
Moon: 27 Scorpio, 216 degrees from Sun, Disseminating/Waning Crescent Moon
Inner Moon: transition between ovulation and luteal phase
Moon Vibes:
The Shaman doing the deep inner work of acceptance and surrender. We sense into and through the chaos and crave liberation for self and others. We attune to the mysteries of life cycles, death and rebirth. We lose our sense of self-importance. This phase relates with Lammas. In tantra yoga, this starts surychara, ascending course of the Sun with the out-breath moving upward from heart to throat. Relates with first quarter of the day (morning) and the element is water. In the hero’s journey, this is the return journey. We are feeling gratitude for survival and ready to integrate the gifts from the journey. In the menstrual cycle, this is transition between the high of ovulation and the hormonal shifts of luteal phase.
Moon in Sagittarius:
Relates with liver, hips and thighs.
Moon in energy oriented Scorpio this morning. Moving into philosophically adventurous Sagittarius by evening, around 6. By 11 pm, Moon will be in resonate polarity with Venus/Vesta. Allow yourself to have a felt experience of what these forces are sharing with you. We inform the cosmos as much as we are informed by the cosmos. It’s a relationship.
Moon/Neptune graceful aspect today assisting understanding in communication.
Nutrition suggestion:
Liver chi: Feeling aggravated or angry? Dandelion greens or any bitter greens in a salad are perfect Moon nourishment for today. If it’s cold and rainy where you live, cook the greens.
