KARMIC UNRAVELLING............

KARMIC UNRAVELLING June 2011 is a month of Karmic unravelling in many ways leading to an upsurge of all the recent planetary influences of this past year, notably the difficult transits of the past two months, following the strong conjunction of planets first in Pisces, then in Aries near the beginning of the zodiac. We experienced a mild partial Solar eclipse June 1 in Taurus. The important total Lunar eclipse of June 15 in Scorpio is the one to observe. The Moon is debilitated in a Gandanta degree very close to Rahu unfolding powerful moments and experiences in our inner and outer worlds. It is a time to reconcile with our Karmic evolution through sadhana and propitiating the planetary Lords and our gurus and Devatas. Psychic sensitivities are highlighted and inner peace, equanimity and humor should be cultivated to counter this. The July 1 Solar eclipse should close the door on a lot of this prevailing turbulence. Essential dates to watch for in June are: June 6: the Lunar Nodes Rahu and Ketu both retrograde transit Abhukta Mula Gandanta, a stressful position as it unravels our deepest soul stirrings. The nodal axis shifts from Sagittarius-Gemini to Scorpio-Pisces. Yet it is a most powerful time to spiritualize our lives merging with the cosmic universe. Honoring the Shakti force allows us to work through this turmoil of the Goddess's Maya – the material life conjunct with our spiritual aspirations. Turbulence in reckoning with our emotions highlights this period with deep confrontation of our inner and outer reality, stirring the root foundations of our existence. Abhukta translates as `unexperienced' and Mula means `root'. In our outer worldly experience this unfolds the past karmas which color our present life situation. Spiritualizing these planets guides us in moving beyond our weaknesses to contact our innate strengths. This is the beginning of an 18 month long journey when Rahu and Ketu transit their debilitated positions in the Scorpio-Taurus axis, opening us to a lot of upheaval and personal reckoning. It can be translated into a deeper learning lesson of our essential karmic unfolding. Fortunately Saturn goes direct in Virgo June 13 and its difficult influences will begin to reduce. Highlighting the planetary situation in June is Ketu, south node of the Moon which conjuncts with 3 planets in June. Mercury –Ketu conjunct June 13 – for spiritualizing the mind Sun –Ketu conjunct June 15 – for spiritualizing the self Venus-Ketu conjunct June 30 – for spiritualizing the emotions Use these days for special sadhana and propitiation of the planets to ease the stress. In my own experience as a sadhak Ketu is the `Inner Guru' who guides us to our higher self. So this is a great time to work at a deeper level conscientiously. Mantra Shakti is most powerful to help us move through these situations in life. Hold to the intrinsic faith that we can trust in the Universe to bestow upon us the divine grace of Shakti, the Mother Goddess.    Jai Ma Guru!
