he controlled his wardrobe but not his mind nor his hair
Imagine you’ve got one robe, one pair of sandals. Monks all over the world have naturally simplified their lives, freeing mind and soul to explore the ethereal plane.
Albert Einstein was known to have 10 complete outfits in his closet – all exactly the same. This allowed him to pursue the rich terrain of the imagination, unencumbered by the fussiness of the mundane world.
Monks have successfully managed to marry the need for worldly order (Moon in Virgo) + the desire to explore heavenly realm of ideas (Jupiter in Pisces). Today, you could feel pulled in two different directions – what will your response be?
some possible scenarios
- Being over-critical of yourself or a loved one (Virgo) then reacting by over-indulging in food or drink to feel better (Pisces)
- Doing some chore thoroughly (Virgo) in a spirit of selfless service (Pisces)
- Gorging on TV (Pisces) alone in your apartment and feeling bad about yourself afterward – too many commercials! (Virgo)
- Cleaning your house by day (Virgo) then enjoying the sacred space you created by lighting a candle, making music, or entertaining friends (Pisces)
You don’t really need to do much to resolve these opposing forces. Awareness itself, as always, is the key. Life is a meditation. Enjoy the process.
Explore the ethereal realm yourself — bliss out to this meditative music video of experimental Tibetan bells and moody skies… May there be Peace throughout all of Space.
