Lalita day 4: Vahnivasini: Nitya of Fire
Om Vahnivasiniyai Namaha
Sun: 6 Taurus with Uranus at 6
Moon: 17 Gemini with Venus at 17, 41 degrees from Sun, Waxing Crescent Moon
Inner Moon: transition between bleeding and follicular/proliferation
Moon Vibes:
Individuality. Going extreme, leaping out, feeling a strong desire for manifesting those new Moon intentions. Feeling an extreme sense of hunger for our mission and divine guidance. Developing awareness of spiritual and sexual identity. This phase relates with Imbolc/Candlemas. In tantra yoga, this is somachara, descending course of Moon, in-breath (prana-vayu) from crown to the third-eye, relates with last quarter of daylight and the element is air. In the hero’s journey this phase is where we are feeling our desires, sensing into the intentions and meet a mentor in human, plant, animal or other than human form. In the menstrual cycle, this phase is transitional including bleeding and the building up of the uterine nest in the follicular/proliferation phase. Use clean, easy to digest food.
Moon in :
Moon in Gemini with Venus and Vesta today. Feeling coyote medicine. Wild, fun, creative, spontaneous, free. In 120°with Mars, easy to make moves towards expression of ♊freedom and amusement.
Astrology info to consider:
Sun and Uranus both at 6°Taurus today. Sun is like our heart and solar plexus combined. Uranus is like your electrical system that connects you with everything.Uranus initiations are sudden life changing events (usually) for the betterment of humanity.
Pluto retrograde started yesterday goes for 5 months. This is a time for scorpionic digging for roots, revealing repressed emotions, thought patterns, gutting yourself for deep healing. Not all at once and it doesn’t need to be today. This period will be most felt by Capricorn/Cancer between 20-29°. What planets do you have there?
Mercury squared up with Pluto/Jupiter. Conversations get real. Perception and cognition are touching the highest high and lowest low at the same time.
Nutrition suggestion:
Guerilla gardening is one way of spreading nutrition beyond the borders of your home. I like to sprout seeds in peat moss or manure pots and nurture them to a certain level of hardiness. Then take them to locations I know of that can be good hosts. For instance, there’s a long alley in my neighborhood that I call botanical alley. This alley grows brocolli, fennel, kale, passionfruit, grapes, avocado, figs, all the citrus and so many flowers. I pick some and also plant new things every year. Take a walk through nature, scout out a few spots for guerilla gardening and harvest some “weeds” for a wild greens salad.
Ritual:
Tonight’s ritual is inspired by feeling the pure amusement of Gemini energy. Have you ever heard of Laugher Yoga? It’s great if you can get someone to practice with you, but you can definitely practice alone. You can use your favorite silly song or video to get laughter started, there are also many Laughter Yoga videos on youtube.
Gemini Moon Ritual:
- Begin your ritual by breathing your awareness into your spine, creating sacred space by calling in your spirit guides to support you.
- Standing up, move your body for enjoyment and energetic release. Allow your body to move anyway that feels good, big and small movements expressing how you feel.
- Take 3 deep breaths, sighing on your exhales.
- Relax your whole body, relax your face, feel the corners of your mouth gently turn up to create a soft smile.
- Now with your next exhale make a loud audible HA- sound, use your whole exhale make the sound. Repeat 3 times, feel the HA- coming from your heart!
- Now on your next exhale say HA, HA, HA! Followed by a full inhale and then repeat! Exhale HA HA HA!
- Play with this technique, starting with these chanted HA’s and let them evolve into natural laughter.
Conclude in gratitude!
Dreams:
Waking up is crucial for dream recall. Here are a few tips for waking up with the intention to record and honor your dream reality.
- Use body clock, not alarm. This may take training.
- Intent to wake up 30 min earlier than usual by body clock.
- Set a back up alarm until your body clock takes over.
Stay in dream position upon awakening so you can capture dream mist. Rehearse the parts you remember and then start writing them down as soon as possible
