Anything else happening in November?

Magha, spelled with an H, is going to be on fire. Where is this in your chart?

Any planets in Magha? How will they be affected?

Which house, body part or area of life might this affect?

If your Ascendant in the sidereal system is:
Aries, it’s your 5th house
Ta**us, it’s your 4th house
Gemini, it’s your 3rd house
Cancer, it’s your 2nd house
Leo, it’s your 1st house
Virgo, it’s your 12th house
Libra, it’s your 11th
Scorpio, it’s your 10th house
Sag, it’s your 9th house
Capricorn, it’s your 8th house (🔥)
Aquarius, it’s your 7th house
Pisces, it’s your 6th house

America, it’s your 9th. May it empower collective dharma ✨

Simple can be soothing, which is exactly what this dal is! With coconut milk adding creamy sweetness this is a grounding, Vata, Pitta balancing, dal for summer or autumn.

Something about autumn makes me think about simple. Simple comforts, simple pleasures, simplifying our ways. Simple is soothing. Simple can even be sumptuous. Sometimes all you have to do is walk outside, breathe the fresh air, admire the colors of … Continue reading →

Apples come just in time. With a cooling virya (energy) to balance the heat (Pitta) accumulated over summer, they are moistening and fibrous to support the colon as autumn's Vata blows in.

Feeling this as I head to the airport. Don’t want to leave. Kerala is love, beauty, wisdom, nourishment, healing. I could stay another week, month, lifetime.

But home calls too. Family, garden, earth - the piece of nature we tend, which tends us, the place that gives belonging…

Oh Kerala, you have given us so much! Thank you 🙏🏽 Thank you to my teachers, remembered with every step I take through your homeland, through the embodied songlines of the Ayurveda Vidya. Jai Ma Jai Guru!

Ayurveda = CARE

A truth so often overlooked: The essence of Ayurveda, beyond all the lists and practices, protocols and complexities - what to eat, when to eat, how to eat, what spices are best, which herbs for your body type, hot to this and how to that - fundamentally Ayurveda is about the deep relaxation that returns you to your generative source.

Ayurveda is a consciousness-based approach to wellness, a spiritual medicine that recognizes the phenomenal self-generative and regenerative healing power in everything that lives.

Knowing that relaxation is essential for any healing to occur, Ayurveda seeks to relax you to your core, where you can not only access the deepest and most potent healing but you can even untie the knots of your karma.

Have you every felt this loved, this held, this fully rested?

It is the essence of Ayurveda, and the gift of Yoga too. “Tada Drashuh Svarupe Vasthanam” ~ YS 1.3

Imagine the world if the deepest relaxation into Love was our highest goal.

I am so grateful for Ayurveda, for its preservation across time, to the people of Kerala, to all my teachers - and all the Vaidya and therapists who help so many heal, and remember Love is at the heart of it all.

🙏🏽💛🍃

Venus moved to Libra on September 2, where it is in dignity. One month later, on October 3, at 14:15 Libra, Venus turned retrograde.

Meanwhile, we had a full moon on September 26th in Uttara Bhadrapada Nakshatra in Pisces.

Venus represents feminine attraction, beauty, desire, intimate relations, and the wife or beloved in a man’s chart, among other things.

Venus is called Shukra in Sanskrit, the same word Ayurveda uses for the reproductive tissue.

The archetype representing Venus is Lakshmi, the Devi of beauty, fecundity, abundance.

Moon is mother, mothering, also mind, our subtle body, our watery nature, and hormones.

In the USA chart, Venus is in Ardra Nakshatra, the star of sorrow, and the star of storms. Ardra is intense, raw, stormy. Ruled by Ardra, it can be destructive, but it can also be about dismantling.

Add to that Venus is conjunct Mars and aspected by Saturn. We have some collective karma here.

However, the USA chart, Venus is also conjunct Jupiter, in Ardra as well, so there is potential to grow towards the light, to awaken to enlightened relationships, as a country, as a culture.

Libra, where Venus is spending most of last four months of this year, is on the US’s 11th house of ideals, aspirations, auspiciousness and strength.

This Venus retrograde transit began in the wake of that full moon in Uttara Bhadrapada, which was conjunct Saturn in Pisces, the sign of healing, wholeness, unity, as well as big emotions! It is really stirring up a collective fury, but also it seems a reckoning.

There’s so much here that suggests dismantling, justice and an awakening to true relationship, in harmony and with respect for women, for children, for people of color, for nature, the land, the animals, the earth, for life in all its biological expressions.

It’s time.

Jaya Lakshmi!
