PURVA BHADRA PADA
This nakshatra may well be the most eccentric of all 27! It is made up of the two main stars, Markab and Sheat in the body of the horse, Pegasus. The deity is Aja Ekapada, the one footed goat or unicorn! Purva Bhadra Pada people are unique, passionate , mystical beings. They like to live outside the box. The primary motivation is artha which means they are good at making money. They are also great at speaking. Aquarius is an air sign so there is natural intellectual capacity. There is also a strong move to help humanity. Jupiter is the ruling planet which connects this nakshatra with the priest/ess or brahmen caste.
ARTHA AND YOU
There is just so much focus on making money these days. We live in a matured capitalist society which has the masses under the spell of marketing and fear. The work hours have gone up and the pay has gone down. The youth are anxious and depressed in the richest society in the world because all they do is work to live. There is not much time to pursue passions and develop the creative. What to do?
With any critical situation, the most important this is to stop the hemorrhaging. If your expenses are way more then your income you will always feel stress. Temporary measures are needed to just fix the present moment. It may be uncomfortable, no matter your age, to bring your expenses way down, but in many cases it is the only way you can clear your head and stop the anxiety. Do not feel sorry for yourself. The north americans have a disease where they feel so deprived when we waste more in a day than most people in the world survive on in a week! As a nation we have been programmed to spend.
FIND YOUR ‘PURVA BHADRAPADA’
If trying hard to conform is only causing more and more depression and anxiety, it could be time to embrace nonconformity. Do you know that most really successful people have become that way through non conformity. As much as it may be uncomfortable ask yourself , ‘is what you are doing now really working for you”. If thought of making changes feels uncomfortable, is it really going to be any different than now? Steve Jobs left a very important message for us. He told us to, ‘stay hungry’..be willing to be a little uncomfortable for this is where you are really living. He also added..” do not live another’s dreams’. There is such value in both of these simple concepts.
YOUR PASSION
When you are living for somebody else’s dream for too long, eventually you are not even capable of identifying your own passions. This is a big warning sign!! Life is not that complicated. Even if , in the end, it all means nothing, we are gifted this exact moment to dance in the ‘leela’.
LEELA
Leela is a sanskrit word that means : to play.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lila_(Hinduism)
Leela is the concept that we are Gods and Goddess playing with the elements of creation.
Essentially this means don’t take yourself so seriously! Don’t take all of this so seriously!
LET IT GO
As much as you can become richer by accumulating material goods, you can also become rich spiritually by letting go of the material goods.
YOUR ECCENTRIC NATURE
This full moon is a great time to investigate your own eccentricity. You may feel that you need to hide it, but please rethink that , and let it shine. There are many many souls living radically different kinds of lives on this planet and happy. When you embrace your own eccentricity you will find that you will be loved and cherished for just that!
LOVE YOUR DIVINE NATURE! YOUR ARE UNIQUE AND SPECIAL! EMBRACE YOUR SELF!
LOVE ONLY..
