SakaDawa ~> 28/29th May New Moon in Gemni

A New Gemini Moon, during the year of the dynamic Green Wood Horse, on the 28th/29th May at 18:40UT, sees the start of a lunar cycle when Himalayan Buddhists celebrate ‘SakaDawa’, and the birth, enlightenment and paranirvana of Gautama Sakyamuni Buddha. Throughout this next lunation, karma is multiplied 100x. Creating merit is encouraged. Karma is further multiplied 100billion x at the Saka Dawa Full Sagittarius Moon, bringing teachings to and from the cosmic Heart Guru.

Whatever is set into motion with this New Moon cycle, spiritual practice or healing project, or romance even, is celestially sealed with three incredibly optimistic astral markers, creating a wave of powerful cosmic energy; firstly with the sacred Six Pointed Earth-Water Star ✡ on the 5th June; culminating with the blessed festival of SakaDawa ۞ at Full Moon 13th June; and for magically Divine Feminine Solar-Luna interaction, with a last quarter waning Dakini moon at Summer/Winter Solstice ☼ June 21/22nd, bringing this holy lunation around full bliss!

Also, at this start of SakaDawa lunation, Gemini Sun/Moon/Healing Goddess Hygeia are in hard square to compassionate Neptune in Pisces, to learn how to heal others with kindness and consideration. By the end of this lunar cycle (June 27th) Neptune then makes a much better aspect and trineS the Cancer Sun/Moon. Generally speaking, this shift from tough aspect to easy makes this a month of potential peak blissful experiences, particularly when surrendering in devotion, to be of spiritual service for the greater good in the world. ॐ_/\_

Wishing for all beings to reach enlightment with a teaching from Verse 29 from Atisha's ‘Lamp for the Path to Enlightenment',"I shall not be eager to reach enlightenment in the quickest way, but shall stay behind till the very end for the sake of a single being."

♄ Saturn in Scorpio direct ॐ ♄♏♥ ~> July 9th 2013

Moving ahead with insight and discipline, this new Cancer lunation is marked by the heavenly pantheon’s heavyweight, Saturn, going forward after almost 5 months of retrograde motion. At 4Scorpio, and involved in the fortuitous ‘Grand Water Trine’, Saturn now exercises an extremely remarkable skill that reaps the rewards of dealing with an intense kind of karma (which admittedly can seem like a burden) by being confident, trustworthy and diligent.

Acutely perceptive, Saturn in fixed Scorpio tolerates and controls with critical edge and concentrated focus, to work towards (tantric) transformation.  Accomplishment within in Scorpio’s powerful realms of intimate relationships, secrets and power, research and psychology require Saturn’s mastery and responsibility. Timely investment or commitment may well involve emotion, energy or money.  Saturn in Scorpio has the potential to develop trust with an intuitive wisdom that can be passionately shared.

Look to 4Scorpio in your horoscope and find where a laser-like, single-minded one-pointed focus is currently penetrating; and use the indicated attributes to accomplish great deeds.

In other words, prepare to exercise wisdom and transform whatever karmic obstacle, obsession or desire that has held you back, and forge ahead renewed, having mastered fear (with love) with greater strength and resolve.

In the 10th century, Buddhist teacher Atisha wrote ~>
“The greatest achievement is selflessness.
The greatest worth is self-mastery.
The greatest quality is seeking to serve others.
The greatest precept is continual awareness.
The greatest medicine is the emptiness of everything.
The greatest action is not conforming with the worlds ways.
The greatest magic is transmuting the passions.
The greatest generosity is non-attachment.
The greatest goodness is a peaceful mind.
The greatest patience is humility.
The greatest effort is not concerned with results.
The greatest meditation is a mind that lets go.
The greatest wisdom is seeing through appearances.”

May all beings achieve such wisdom in this one lifetime! _/\_ ॐ ♄♏♥ ॐ
