We have a Grand Water Trine being initiated by the ruler of last week's Eclipse -- Venus in Scorpio. As the Dark Goddess dances with Saturn in Pisces & Mars in Cancer, we're invited to tend to the waters within, and all the emotions they're likely still digesting.

I speak about the Myth of the Minotaur as a mirror for Venus' process in Scorpio, and touch on Jupiters upcoming Retrograde in Gemini as an ode to the collective need for mitigating information overwhelm. There's some clear collective tending we're being initiated into for the rest of the month.

Lastly, I touch on the spiritual resource + support of Navaratri, the nine nights of the Goddess in the Vedic calendar, from Oct 3-11. Durga, Lakshmi, + Saraswati Devi are here to support us.

It’s a great time to study sacred mantra, stories, and teachings that support the spiritual process. Here are some suggestions for mantras to work with that are considered “open access” // not required to have been initiated into before using. Chant 9x a day, or 108 repetitions if you’re a versed mantra practitioner. The vibrational resonance of Sanskrit works wonders on consciousness itself.

DURGA MĀ : First 3 nights (Oct 3/4/5) Om Mātā, Om Kālī | Durga Devi Namo Namah | Om Matā, Om Kālī | Durga Devī Namo | Shakti Kundalini | Jagadambe Matā | Shakti Kundalini | Jagadambe Matā

Lakshmi Devī: (Oct 7/8/9) Om Shree Lakshmi Devyai Namaha

Sarasvati Devī: (Oct 10/11/12) Om Aim Hreem Shreem Vagdevyei Saraswatyai Namah
