Perhaps the most unifying factor for human beings is a common desire for happiness.
We all seek enjoyment of our lives despite the warnings from many spiritual sources that happiness on Earth is just maya or illusion.
But Dr. Pillai, who hails from a tradition of pure asceticism—the Tamil Siddhas—admits that without this maya, human beings risk going crazy from suffering, and that maya can actually help us on our evolutionary journey.
Moreover, love and joy have been hard to reach lately because of some astrological factors. So, what is happening right now with the planet of love and pleasures, and how can we navigate this time without problems?
The planet most associated with happiness, Venus, has been facing some ups and downs due to a very close conjunction with the inimical and now debilitated Sun, the planet of royalty consciousness and True Self.
Moreover, this closeness and resulting irritation caused by the Sun’s heat will repeat again in Scorpio on November 16.
This is the reason why many are experiencing some turmoil in relationships and in their creative efforts—Libra rules relationships, arts, creativity, luxury and beauty.
Below you can find six steps for avoiding difficulties and enjoying your time with others and also in your creations.
Identify your non-negotiables. Can you honestly say that you’ll give up authority and personal power in order to get along with everyone? No? But, while you may realize that within one work project you must stand up for yourself and assert your expertise, you also want to enjoy your life at home through a compromise.
Understanding is key. People want their needs to be understood both in a personal and a work relationship. Often, conflicts stem from a lack of understanding. Polite and respectful interaction along with openness to listen to the other person is crucial right now. If you make sure that everyone feels validated, then you are more likely to get along.
Choose happiness. In relationships we must often choose between love and power. While wanting to control a situation or a person may be natural, it is impossible to achieve lasting happiness that way. If we want love, we must surrender. And while royalty consciousness has its place in our lives, many recognize that our good relationships with others are our true source of happiness.
Love is devotion. We must remember that we can never demand love and that a relationship is more likely to work when we become truly devoted to another person.
Explore an art form. Our souls seek creative expression. Therefore, when we are satisfied with our creations we are less likely to nag another person for attention. You could take up dance or study drawing or practice anything that makes your heart sing. Check out new artistic avenues and raise your happiness quotient in the process. Even something as simple as taking photos around town can change our perspectives and bring more beauty into our lives.
Chant some sounds. Venus’ energy and the Sun’s power can be felt through some special sound waves. To resonate with these planets you can recite OM Shukraya Namaha 108 times for Venus, and OM Suryaya Namaha 108 times for the Sun. Spend a few extra minutes with these sounds on Fridays and Sundays.
Enjoy the energies!
