Shiva is the original yogi, the constant meditator sitting peacefully on the mountain top, representing the formless state of awareness itself.
As Shiva represents the peak of the mountain, Saturn represents the hard work you need to do to reach that peak.
And in the Vedic calendar, in the southern hemisphere, today is Saturns birthday.
Saturn is the lord of karma. The momentum of our past, plus our present moment actions and the trajectory those actions will instigate. So choose wisely, all action, even no action leads to outcomes.
Saturn helps us face our fears, will expose our shortcomings, gives us challenges to face, so that we have to do the inner work, in order to progress towards more awakened states.
Saturn may delay our boons, but will never not deliver if we do the work. As it says in the Bhagavad Gita “ tastes like poison at first, but is a nectar later.”
Saturn moves slowly, is in the last 2.5 years of a 30 year cycle, ,so appreciate the challenges, the hard work & introspection you have gained, knowing that if you do face your stuff, there will be rewards down the track.
To honour Saturn today, give offerings to Shiva, such as white flowers, white foods, Shiva mantras.
If Shiva is connected to karma, focused action, and humbly taking responsibility for your life, must surely plant a positive trajectory.
This is Jai”s Shiva, heralding your entrance into the studio. Now that’s got to be a good thing, getting on your mat.
