Jupiter Stations Retrograde
We’re being churned by the many planetary shifts happening this month, including Jupiter stationing retrograde this afternoon in Bharaṇī भरणी (Sidereal Aries), The Star of Restraint. The retrograde motion of Jupiter beckons a profound four-month period of inner transformation and regeneration, centered around our connections with knowledge, teachers, children, health, healing, leadership, expansion, and personal growth.
As I immerse myself in the energies of Bharaṇī, a timeless Sufi adage comes to mind: ‘You must die before you die.’ Indeed, genuine rebirth necessitates a willingness to let go of preconceived notions about ourselves — a voluntary surrender of our egoic identities.
Birth and death are intertwined facets of existence; when in harmonious equilibrium, the soul embraces the waves of evolution with serenity. Conversely, disharmony leads to confrontation. This phase invites us to reflect, review, redefine, and reconstruct. While guarding against excesses, our creative faculties may experience invigoration. A heightened yearning for inner transformation and spiritual elevation emerges.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Bharaṇī emanates the shakti to endure, purify, and dispel impurities. The present juncture offers fertile ground for nurturing nascent plans and concepts. Embracing diligence, discipline, and self-control, we pave our pathways towards cherished aspirations.
A timeless insight from Nisargadatta Maharaj echoes: 'Pain resides in the physical realm; suffering takes root in the mind. Beyond the confines of the mind, suffering ceases to exist. Pain remains indispensable for the body's preservation, yet suffering remains optional. It signifies our reluctance to evolve, to flow harmoniously with life’s currents.'
