Astrology

It’s a good day for communication and travel.  Got someone to talk to or somewhere to go?  Do it today, if possible.  Last minute shopping is good and you can wrap up old matters.  Creativity is high, and it’s crucial to look your best wherever you are.  Dressing well helps move your project forward today.  Remember that your appearance is a crucial part of the sales package in any deal.  It’s the part that conveys your confidence and your ability to deliver!  Sentimentality is high and you want to be near loved ones.  The past is remembered fondly today.  Maya Angelou said, “You can never go home again, but the truth is you can never leave home, so it’s all right.”

The daily astrology post affects everyone. Because individual charts vary, the circumstances outlined in the post will affect people differently. Some will feel this energy in the personal arena, some in finances, some with children or family, some in work and so forth. There are many departments of life. Look to see where the dynamic affects you!

Astrology

Emotions and ego are out of alignment early in the day.  Pride says one thing and emotion disagrees, and this relates to a financial situation.  If you’ve made a mistake in your bank balance or elsewhere, admit it immediately and make no attempt to shift blame to others.  Follow your intuition or hunch about a different matter.  Something’s brewing that you become aware of through non-traditional channels.  Believe this absolutely.  If you detect that something must be done and you don’t act on this awareness, you have no one but yourself to blame for the outcome. Fortunately, you believe your hunch and all is well.  Intuition is the star of the show today.  Taro Gold said, “Hold fast to your dreams.  Never allow the enemy of self-doubt to destroy them.”

Astrology

The Messenger of the Gods goes direct today, and life seems reasonable again!  It is.  You are looking forward, as opposed to gazing backward, and there is more to be done about the future than the past.  You’ve either solved or given up on your past issues.  It’s easier to run the race facing forward, you’ll notice.  A new burst of creativity involves artistic pursuits, music, poetry and imaginative ventures.  Creativity aligns favorably with nostalgia and sentimentality.  Men are full of warmth, enthusiasm and confidence.  A purchase is favorable as long as it’s not a vanity production.  A secretive and powerful negotiation can buy someone out of trouble and into a happy future.  Financial matters go well, as long as they are not discussed.  Taro Gold said, “Doing your best when no one is paying attention will help you more than standing in the spotlight.”  This is especially true today.

Have Confidence in this Precious Opportunity

An excerpt from a teaching called “The Importance of Shakyamuni” by Jetsunma Ahkon Lhamo:

All of the blessings of the Buddhist path are available to us because of the supreme compassion of Lord Buddha.  If he had not chosen to stay and forego his parinirvana for some time, forego his entry into the state of nirvana in order to teach sentient beings, it would not be possible for us to be on this path.  At the time of his teaching, there was no path that could lead to supreme enlightenment.  Again I say there were paths that could lead to spiritual progress, but none of them truly overcame all of the six realms.

Therefore follow this path with great enthusiasm because you have a set of fortunate circumstances that very few other beings on this planet have, very few human beings and far fewer beings of any other realm of cyclic existence.  If you think about how many humans there are compared to the other five realms of beings, just having that human condition is extremely rare and is over too quickly.  What proportion of those beings that have incarnated in the fortunate human condition have been offered the true path of Lord Buddha?  Such a small portion.

You should think about these incredibly auspicious circumstances, and when you do your practice, think that you are doing this to achieve the ultimate goal possible for humankind.  Think and believe that there is every reason that you can succeed.  Think and believe that there is every reason that even if you don’t succeed now, you absolutely without fail can create the causes by which you will succeed quickly.  If not immediately after this life, then you will soon, very soon.

Your moment is now.  Are you creating the causes by which you yourself might someday appear as a Nirmanakaya Buddha to guide all beings?  This practice that you do now creates the causes.  Practice sincerely.  If you practice sincerely with the intention of guiding beings, with the intention of breaking through samsaric existence as a true renunciate, if you really renounce cyclic existence with all its betrayal and take refuge sincerely, you are creating the causes, and someday your face will be known as the face of a Nirmanakaya Buddha, and your nature will be known both by you and by all sentient beings to be the Dharmakaya.

Astrology

Home calls and the past beckons.  Sentimentality reigns.  Perhaps you are fleeing the sudden burst of opposition that appears, when the bounce-back to your enthusiasm is disheartening.  No matter what you want, others push back with contradiction and stonewalling.  Or else it’s you who contradicts and stonewalls.  Do your best to appreciate the merits of each side and to offer compromise, and things go well.  But this bunch of planets isn’t too interested in seeing the other side.  Major points accrue to those who keep their heads here.  The nice part is that it’s over quickly.  Theodore White said, “The  most difficult thing in the world is to know how to do a thing and to watch someone else doing it wrong, without comment.” Happiness lies in food.

Electricity!  People are magnetic and have confidence in their good qualities.  Others agree, except for the powerful figure lurking behind the scenes who is not impressed. Try to stay out of the public eye with your energy-filled enthusiasm.  It won’t be easy because pretty much everyone thinks you’re wonderful, right on and fabulous.  Communication is great, and learning is outstanding.  Ideas multiply.  This is a time of tremendous mental proliferation that combines with enthusiasm to move the world forward in a positive way.  Today is the last day to express in words everything someone has meant to you.  If you’ve got something worth saying, say it!  Ella Wheeler Wilcox said, “A pat on the back is only a few vertebrae removed from a kick in the pants, but is miles ahead in results.”

Blessings Near and Far

The following is from a series of tweets by Jetsunma Ahkon Lhamo:

Today we had about 60 volunteers to clean up the Stupa land from earlier big storms. These are dedicated hikers who use the land and Stupas for meditation, fitness and recreation. The blessings are theirs to enjoy. We barbecued too. They love the land.

Speaking of land I’ve been invited to go to Yang Sang Pemakod on the border of Tibet/China and India in January.

This is on top of the world. This is the only image I have so far, will get more. It is truly Shangrila. Many great Lamas go for pilgrimage and it is a place of power and mystery. It is a place of power especially due to Guru Padmasambhava’s unfathomable blessing. At the level of The journey to Maritika Cave years ago. Worth it to see the Guru’s blessing so long ago. And now. Uninterrupted. We’ll have to find sponsors!

Now it is up to me to get strong and prepare. I don’t think I can turn this down. Soon the documentary will be up but the format must be changed I feel so blessed!

And here are the workers chowing down after a full day’s work. Way to go! Thank you all!

One short burst of out-of-itness happens and then you’ll be back in the swing of things.  Relax early in the day because you will be raring to go as the day turns into evening.  A blast of energy combines with some sharp decision-making and you are feeling great!  Travel is beneficial and self-expression is favorable.  You are able to accurately pinpoint issues that need improvement.  Excellent changes can be made, and it’s good to remember that you’re still engaged in a cleanup of things from the past.  Don’t begin anything brand new and don’t sign a contract or buy a machine. It won’t turn out the way you hope.  Favorable activity involves transportation, exchange of ideas and the formation of partnerships.  People are in a giggly, jokey mood with lots of hand gestures.  Ok, have fun. Colette said, “Be happy.  It is a way of being wise.”

Astrology

A general feeling of sensitivity and moodiness is pervasive.  If you think you’ve been victimized, relax and decide to review the situation tomorrow.  You won’t see things the same in the future and you may well decide you made a big deal out of nothing.  Wait to “express yourself” and you’ll spare yourself some chagrin.  A bit of tiredness or need to withdraw and rest is clouding your vision.  If everything strikes you as wrong, disappear.  You may well be what’s wrong. Taro Gold said, “An unhappy person and a happy one will have different perceptions of the same circumstances.  The difference lies not in the circumstances but in the two states of life.”  Once this is sorted out, sit back and enjoy the display of truly amazing people and things that are present.  Forget yourself and notice that someone is doing a good job, and someone loves you.

May their minds be filled with the nectar of virtue.

In this way, may all causes resulting in suffering be extinguished,

And only the light of compassion shine throughout all realms.
