Astrology

An imaginative appeal inspires you.  Go for it!  Art, mustic, and all medical interventions are helpful.  An invention or a sudden inspiration or discovery opens a new door.  Things associated with water are favorable, and someone who seems “out of it” has the correct answer!  Follow your hunch today, especially in purchases and on the financial front.  Call or email people who are important to you.  Pay attention to your dreams.  On a different front, you have a new idea that is a winner. Take that idea and run with it!  You will see progress within a week.  Conversations, discussions and negotiations are very important now.  If someone wants to talk to you, be there for that person.  The opportunity may not come again.  Oscar Wilde said “No man is rich enough to buy back his past.” Seize the moment.

The daily astrology post affects everyone.  Because individual charts vary, the circumstances outlined in the post will affect people differently.  Some will feel this energy in the personal arena, some in finances, some with children or family, some in work and so forth.  There are many departments of life.  Look to see where the dynamic affects you!

What to Abandon and What to Accept

From a series of tweets by Jetsunma Ahkon Lhamo:

When an ordinary person decides they are Enlightened but hate, gossip and bad qualities show they absolutely are not. Be careful and watch. If one believes in a person who self proclaims Enlightenment and follows them in lying, hate, gossip they too will fall to a lower rebirth. If a person proclaims themselves Enlightened and has nothing to show for it their lives bear no extraordinary fruit and they should be abandoned. To hide one’s flaws and preach to others is a waste of time. Most people aren’t blind. And flaws will never be pacified.

How excellent, how wonderful to abandon pride, hatred, gossip, etc and attend to a pure practice given by a pure master from a pure source!

How sad when one does not know what to abandon and what to accept.  Anyone can talk. Dogs bark, cats meow. Compassion and courage to get out and benefit beings and our planet – this is what counts.

OM AH HUNG BENZAR GURU PEDMA SIDDHI HUNG!

Early in the day nothing much happens. As time  passes, a dreamy, imaginative energy enters the picture.  A questioner can be mis-led or given confusing information.  If you are that person, go for hard facts as opposed to an answer that seems to offer your heart’s desire.  It doesn’t.  Let your head clear, and notice how powerful figures are falling from grace.  During this time, hidden things come to light.  If you have a damaging secret, it’s better to bring it up yourself. Personal confession of wrongdoing is honorable and very different from getting caught, which is likely to happen during these times.  News is important, and the news keeps changing.  Stay aware of what’s going on as you continue to manage your finances.  Sam Walton said, “There is only one boss:  the customer.  And he can fire everybody in the company, from the chairiman on down, simply by spending his money somewhere else.”  Remember the customer.

Personal magnetism is favorable today.  And pleasing speech guarantees a successful conclusion to something you’re trying to accomplish.  Spend time planning your financial goals.  Make changes if you’ve neglected issues, and stay in the present in planning for your needs.  If you set something in motion years ago and it  no longer fits your needs, make a change!  Be both careful and willing to change.  Friends want to be with you, and this is lovely, but don ‘t let yourself be distracted from the matter at hand, which is financial planning.  A relationship issue that began last October must be handled.  Something has come back, and although it seems to be related to the past, it is here now.  You get a chance to do-over or resolve things you didn’t quite handle before.  If you don’t understand something, ask for help. A Chinese proverb says, “He who asks is a fool for five minutes, but he who does not ask remains a fool forever.”  Your choice.

Compassion, Wisdom and the Importance of Lineage

Palyul Nyingma Refuge Tree

The following is a series of tweets given by Jetsunma Ahkon Lhamo on the importance of lineage:

Wisdom and Compassion are the two eyes of Mahayana. Wisdom is pure awareness of empty nature. Not book learning. Compassion is Boddhicitta. Boddhicitta is primordial fundamental uncontrived nature’s pristine display. To attain wisdom meditate on emptiness – the sublime view. To give rise to Boddhicitta, accomplish View, leading to the understanding that all beings are same in nature, and struggle to be happy. Ordinary human kindness will suffice in this life but the Great Boddhicitta accomplishment benefits every future life.

Wisdom is not taught in school. That is knowledge. Wisdom cannot come from books, only knowledge. Wisdom comes with the mind ripening at Guru’s feet. Neither ordinary kindness nor book knowledge bring Supreme Buddhahood- Liberation. Only Wisdom View and Boddhicitta’s nectar can. Ordinary thoughts and concepts from ordinary people are just that. Primordial Wisdom is more rare and precious than any jewel. When you find yourself lost in blah blah blah let it go like vanishing dew. Come back to Wisdom and Boddhicitta- pray, meditate. This is the method and the way of uncountable Buddhas and Bodhisattvas before you from practices handed down through Lineage. All empowerment passed through lineage can be traced back to the blessing of Guru Padmasambava and Consort in an unbroken chain of mastery.

Empowerment without lineage is not traceable to original source. Never take empowerment without tracing through Lineage. If not traceable from Guru to student through out the centuries it is likely tainted by broken Samaya or is totally made up. Taking impure empowerment is like drinking poison and will destroy your path and progress. Every pure Lama gives lineage of empowerment.

Astrology

This is a day to use your intelligence.  Pull all your thinking together, aim it in one direction, and you can’t go wrong.  Women friends are especially helplful, as are all friends.  Two forces are favorable.  First, the intellectual realm is powerful, and next the material or financial realm is strong. Give each its due and try not to mix the two together, because today they work against each other. Move forward cheerfully and at a careful pace.  A steady growth is promised. Anya Bass said, “Yesterday’s history, tomorrow’s a mystery.  I try to live in the present.”  Excellent advice for today.

Full steam ahead!  Major action today, or if you’ve been diligent, yesterday was the accomplishment day.  Tell everyone!  Powerful news, powerful communication, is effective today.  Pay attention to the news and to the messages you receive.  This is important.  Be sure you clarify what you hear, since confusion is possible. Double check information, triple check!  If you don’t, you could make a mistake.  The boss could be left off the guest list for an important occasion. Don’t get lost or over-party today.  Still, your progress is excellent, and things are working out.  Anne Morris said, “Good communication is as stimulating as black coffee, and just as hard to sleep after.”

Come Together – The Great Mother Needs Us!

The following is from a series of tweets by Jetsunma Ahkon Lhamo:

Good evening all. Many feel this is our last day on earth. Anyone packed yet? Once in Sedona Arizona a large group packed essentials and stood waiting in a grocery store parking all night with their leader. Oopsey! No pick up. Now the end of the world is tomorrow. The rapture! At last some action! Were the teabaggers “in the know?” Hmmm. See this is what happens when you leave the heavy spiritual lifting to regular people, ordinary in their spiritual view? Always listen to the elders. They are the only ones capable of understanding and interpreting ancient mystical teachings from ancient times. If you follow the “pretenders” you will get the wrong info every time. Even Christian pastors follow the Bible like a recipe book because they have no ancient ways to guide them, to interpret. I as many feel the Bible (read it three times) is metaphor. We then miss out on the beauty and wisdom. In Buddhism we have one life practitioners who say outright they are enlightened. Just follow their (insane) ways and drop the care and kindness. Then we won’t care if we are dead or alive, so long as they have power over our minds.

Elders of any long rooted Lineage know what the bottom line is. They live it. In Buddhism we go to the “Elder” Tulkus who do know from lifetimes of practice and learning plus teaching. And the blessings of their “Elders” in an unbroken line. The Hopi elders know. The Mayans know. The northwestern Tribal elders know. Indigenous people know, as they watch and care for the earth. Who tells you truth? Those that have wisdom or those that read? Rapture will not come tomorrow. Unless you are high. No, the earth suffers and dies bit by bit.

Those who try to have power through opinion do not know. And they convey that nobody needs to do anything to help. Cop out! It isn’t over. It is time to get off our lazy deluded butts and help. Get political. Pick up the damn garbage. Quit dumping sewage into our water. Get into Japan’s face and make them trade their pride for earth’s safety. Stop whaling, feed your ego to the hungry (they need. You don’t.)

America is fat mostly because we are gluttons who do not help sentient beings. Selfish. Gotta have all the bacon. Too bad, you don’t need it and half the world is hungry.

So- how do we wake ourselves up? Prepare for difficult times. Learn how to grow food. Learn to pray. And how to make offerings. Learn how to learn. Learn how to shelter. And please, most of all come together, stay away from divisive people. All faiths must join together to save, not destroy Mother Earth. The Great Mother needs us to wake up!

Astrology

Serious stuff today!  A major force aligns favorably with business ventures.  Fast thinking and a pleasant out look score major points.  You may have had an “aha” during the night, a new way of understanding the situation. Something is revealed, dug up, that clarifies things. Something hidden is brought to light. Using this knowledge, you can move forward effectively. An action can place the final piece in the puzzle you’re been carefully constructing.  This may cost money, but consider it well spent.  An emotional hurt comes from a source you weren’t paying attention to.  Tend to the hurt, but don’t lose your temper. Robert Ingersoll said “Anger is a wind which blows out the lamp of the mind.”  You’ll need that mind later, don’t lose it now.
