☸ Buddha's birthday ~> Vesak & Sakadawa
May 6-7-8th __/\__
With the Sun in Taurus, the Buddhist world now begins to honor the
birth of the Buddha. Though it must be noted that Siddhārtha Gautama
Shakyamuni Buddha’s birth date varies with tradition; so while Himalayan
Buddhists celebrate his birth, enlightenment, and paranirvana this year
with SakaDawa on June 13th, many other Buddhist countries begin now to
celebrate the birth of Buddha, just as
the earthy Taurean Sun squares today’s first quarter Leo Moon - an
astrological combination symbolic of stabilizing the spirit by
courageously overcome ego’s obstacles.
And on the Full Scorpio
Moon, accenting spiritual transformation, most of Asia celebratez
Vesak, revering the Buddha’s life and teachings on 13/14th May.
Today, however, in my Tibetan Buddhist tradition, we make our monthly
offerings to the healing power of the Medicine Buddha. Due to Saturn's
opposition to the illuminating Sun at this first quarter, sun-ruled Leo
Moon, the astral focus currently tends towards the results of
self-created karma now coming into sharper focus over the next few days -
so that any unhelpful action can be transformed and healed, ready for
an emotionally cathartic Full Scorpio Moon a week away. __/\__ ☼✶•*¨*•.¸¸✶
