Kala Sarpa, The Serpent of Time
Kala Sarpa, The Serpent of Time
This week as the moon slips past the north node of the moon on Wednesday we enter what is called Kala Sarpa in Vedic astrology. The rare occurrence happens when all of the planets are positioned on one side of the zodiac between the karmic axis of the north and south nodes of the moon, Rahu and Ketu. These points in the sky have the power to block the energy of the luminaries, the Sun and Moon and are where we experience eclipses. In our birth charts this axis determines our karma in life by the houses they are stationed in.
The last time we experienced a Kala Sarpa was during the Covid “pandemic”, sometimes referred to as “Planet lockdown”, which is apropos as all the planets were “locked down” between the nodes.
A Kala Sarpa is known as the Serpent of Time, because the nodes of the Moon are said to the the head and tail of a great serpent demon.
What does this mean for us?
It is said to mean that the powers of the Universe are creating a transformation, a period of fate being determined by Divine forces out of human control or the illusion of it. What appears to us on our screens is a surface drama of great proportion that heralds a deeper and more significant transition.
Very significantly, Jupiter just turned direct. Jupiter is the most benefit of planets and is known as Guru in Vedic astrology. His direct movement is a positive spiritual boon casting a glance on all of these planets jammed together in Aquarius and Pisces, the natural 11th and 12th houses of the Zodiac and the end of a cycle.
What is our most beneficial practice during this karmic time?
Hold the still point. Be the eye of the storm. Let the churning ocean of maya swirl around you, but anchor in deep surrender to the potent neutral place inside of you that is aligned with Divine power and Universal Law. When we are swayed into extreme emotion either for or against we add to the karmic burden of mankind playing out on the world stage. When we align with the power and strength of stillness we add to the field of harmony is coming into form in the next cycle of humanity’a awakening. These are forces beyond out control. You could draw the analogy of swimming in the ocean where there are strong slip currents that could pull you out to sea and instead of struggling and fighting you relax until the current releases you into safe harbor.
We underestimate the significance of our inner alignment. Why do you think there are so many distractions. If we realized the power of our focus we would take care to stay aligned with what is true, eternal and good. Obviously we don’t always have the clarity to know what that is. We will not learn it on the news.
Pull away from the drama. Sit in stillness everyday, surrendering into the wisdom of creation, the great and eternal OMMMMMM. Be the peace frequency and hastens its manifestation.
Be in gratitude.
Much love,
Neva
