Chitra, "The Opportunity Star"
An opportunity is a set of circumstances that makes it possible to do something. That "Something" is an embedded desire. But, desire in itself is not going to make it happen. You need a plan.
Our New Moon is all about creating a plan that sets you up for an opportunity. The Deity of Chitra is Vishwakarma, "The Celestial Architect.” Everything in existence came from his plan. Not to be confused with his idea, as the idea came from a desire from something or someone else. He's just the architect! Chitra is the Moon Mansion of Libra. Libra, with its balancing scales, strives for everything to be in order. A natural place for a celestial architect to reside. Natural Laws set forth at the beginning of creation allows for order that Vishwakarma adheres to. He knows how everything fashions together, what comes first, and when this and that get placed and where.
Some of the architects trusty tools consist of:
A Drawing Board: Ideas begin to have visual structure.
An Architects Compass: A tool with a grounded stationary leg and a movable leg that creates arcs and angels.
Drawing Pencils: A variety of drawing pencils for creating shades and color, bringing out each component.
A Ruler: measuring distance and creating straight lines from point A to point B
An Eraser: To make changes and to keep the plan clean in the drawing process
Nothing comes into manifestation until the plan is finalized. Once in motion, it cannot be changed.
Tapping into the energy of this New Moon allows the opportunity to bring out your inner architect. But this is not about creating something new, it's about looking at the plan that's already in motion—your Life.
Your Life had been planned from the moment of birth, actually prior, by you, the architect. You embedded in your plan all that you would do and desire in this lifetime. And then, Life began, and now you wish to go back to the drawing board.
How many times do you feel as though you've gone back to the drawing board?
Perhaps until now, you have been at the drawing board creating a plan within a plan, creating a no plan of the plan. Think about that for a moment. If you create a plan within a plan, you're altering the plan. This is where the architect's eraser would come in to erase all that you're adding to the original plan. Sticking to the original no plan plan would be a better plan.
If you must go back to the drawing board, use your tools not to alter the plan but work your plan.
An Architects Compass: Keep yourself grounded as you explore the drawing board of your Life with all its different shapes and elements.
Drawing Pencils: Look at your different colored pencils as your family, friends, and loved ones that help color your world.
A Ruler: To measure how far you've come, not how far till I get there.
An Eraser: Clean up your world by eliminating things that are no help or use to where the plan is taking you.
Stand back and look at the plan, and tell me about the precious, amazing Life you planned.
So as Above, So as Below
The Sun and his beloved, The Moon are together in Chitra working the plan for the month of October. Two planets, Mars and Mercury are retrograde this month, so watch for delays and frustrations with our actions and communications. Take a breath before saying what you really want to say. Theres a better time down the road.
Venus transits into Virgo its debilitated sign October 22, watch out for nit picking
from your beloved. They only do it because they know whats best.
Jupiter and Saturn are holding court in the Ashadas they rule. Jupiter in Purva Ashada is expanding the view of whats possible and Saturn in Uttara Ashada is showing us what needs to be done to get there. In looking at all the tensions of our present day reality we have come back to the drawing table and hopefully are picking up the eraser to remove what was not part of the plan. Look towards the southern sky just after dark and you can see Jupiter and Saturn coming closer together, day by day.
Love & Wisdom
