Yesterday Jupiter transited to Cancer. Jupiter is considered the most generous, auspicious, dharmic and uplifting of planets. When exalted these gifts really flow. What will this mean specifically for you? For insight, we look to the house, or Bhava, where Jupiter is currently transiting in your chart. This can be seen both from your Ascendant and Moon, and will also be influenced by other planets, aspects, etc. For a full understanding, and to make the most of this transit, you can book a Consult (link in bio). Also, I’ll be running a massive summer sale soon, including on a limited number of consults, so join my newsletter if you’d like to know about that (also link in bio). Jupiter in Cancer, by Bhava (direction, aka “house”) *My website has a chart calculator if you do not have your Jyotish/sidereal chart (link in bio).1st: If Cancer is your Ascendant or Moon, you may be filled with optimism and seen for the wisdom and care you have to share. Opportunities abound. Marriage and children uplift.2nd: If Gemini is your rising sign or Moon, prosperity may increase; your voice resounds and you may feel nourished by family, work.3rd: Taurus rising or moon may find more enjoyment with siblings, close friends, short trips. Good for writing and communication, also learning. 4th Bhava, Aries: Home, mother, vehicles, heart, happiness may become a source of great blessing and wisdom; Career gets a boost by aspect. 5th Bhava, Pisces: Great for children, creativity, games, romance, education, finances, devotional practices. 6th Bhava, Aquarius: Challenging people are won over by your inherent goodness; health may improve or you may gain skills in healing work; service brings fulfillment.Contd in the comments ✨—#jupiterincancer #jupitertransit #vedicastrology #jyotish #truthisfreedom ...

Full Moon in Anuradha, ScorpioMay 31, 2026, 1:45am PT | 9:45am UTCAnuradha is described as a spark, the spark that lights the heart, that ignites the devotion that fuels spiritual transformation. It feels deeply, sees clearly, loves strong.Anuradha is a Devic Nakshatra ruled by Mitra, the lord of friendship, giving affection, humility, tenderness, empathy and devotion. One of the symbols for Anuradha is the lotus flower. Humbly aware of “roots in the mud,” the lotus is light-seeking, rising through the waters to float and bloom under sun.It speaks to me of the deep emotional waters Anuradha navigates, often in solitude, yet always surfacing again with a heart willing to open and bloom. Anuradha sits in the middle of Scorpio, where the moon is said to be “in its fall.” A full moon here can be a tender time, with sudden feelings of grief, isolation, even the illusion of unworthiness.Scorpio is brave though - unafraid to meet the tender, the unmet, unwanted parts of our self, so we can heal with the waters of compassion. It’s a great time to curl up with your best pal, or get with your close buddies, share from the heart, and let yourself feel how divinely nourishing friendship can be. Even more, this is a time to deepen into your friendship with nature, and with your own divine nature, to feel the sacred, sumptuous self within. This full moon invites devotion. Divine friendship. Soulful healing. Spiritual depth.✨ Note: The Sun lighting the moon full is in Rohini, the star of Krishna. Anuradha means following Radha, or in the style of Radha. So this full moon is a cosmic dristhi of Krishna and Radha, or the Lover and the Beloved. It is a beautiful time to meditate on love, on devotion, on beauty, and to ask, how am I a part of this fullness? How am I a part of this beauty? How can I bring this more and more into the light and live this divine relationship always? I live on this Rohini-Anuradha line and am finding this full moon to be very sweet. No rushing, no doing, just being, loving, enjoying. I wish you that same sweet fullness ✨__Mom rising over Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve by Patrick Myers, @NPS __#anuradha #fullmoon #sidereal #vedic #astrology ... See MoreSee Less

“Look at Beauty’s gift to us. Her power is so great she enlivens the earth, the sky, our soul.”Mirabai, known also as Meera, was a 16th-century mystic poet and one of the most important poet-saints of the Bhakti movement. Born to a royal family in what is modern-day Rajasthan, Mirabai dedicated her life to Sri Krishna. Her songs of devotion were legendary, and continue to inspire to this day. Mirabai chose devotion over pomp and privilege, at times to the point of persecution. Stories tell of Mirabai leaving the kingdom to spend her later years on pilgrimage. It is said that at the end of her life she miraculously merged, disappeared, into an idol of Krishna. Sure, there’s a lack of historical evidence, but how does a merging with Krishna leave historical evidence? It is known only by the invisible, intangible immortalizing experience of Beauty. 🕊🕊🕊#mirabai #devotional #bhakti #poetry #poetsofinstagram ... See MoreSee Less
