Your jazz example is brilliant. I am a designer by self taught and I have learn those that go to the academia try to be perfect a design and are more by the rules no stepping out of line, as in a self taugh/jazz player we don’t mind mistakes because they may lead to new structures of playfulness allowing more creativity to flow threw. It’s great that your daughter is learning these lessons now.
Beautiful! I am reminded of the time I was sitting outside on my deck with my son's girlfriend's 4yr old, and she was reminding me of something we did that I couldn't remember, and I told her I forgot. She touched my heart deeply when she proceeded to say " that's ok, I'll be your memory"! I'm a cancer sun, pisces Jupiter/moon, gemini rising.
I am nearly beyond words… Thank you for this sermon from the stars. I am a Pisces sun with a cancer moon. Today, after a group contemplation (basically radical bible study) took the day to wander the snowy woods imbibed with some earth medicine… I felt my mind completely absorbed with the ether as if I was receiving downloads from an external source. I was contemplating the water, after contemplating your video about Pisces. I contemplated how I felt as a Pisces. I felt myself as a great river that had been dammed up… An expansive being forced into a container (and now I am crying). I perceived myself as that total yin state that forces nothing and just is. I felt frustrated that I live in a society that values pushing and achieving and power over the simple magic of Being-ness. I became overwhelmed with nostalgia for the great ocean of consciousness - for the warmth and love that resides there. I became very aware of my Uranus influence - being that I have an Aquarian Stellium… I was in an altered state of mind that is not generally excepted in society, however I felt more myself. I behaved outrageously, like a child, laying in the snow, touching the trees, trying to see deeper into the colors that were truly there, rather than what the rational mind perceives. I gathered energy between my palms and watched my aura glow with the snow as a perfect backdrop. I was fully conscious that if anyone saw me they would think I was bat shit crazy LOL. Does expanding on what it feels like to be a Pisces: yearning for a home that feels unattainable, feeling misunderstood by most of society, and feeling constraint living in this dimension and time space. I contemplated The duality that arrives with every manifestation and experience - that it’s always what you want but never good enough… And saw an image of God laughing hysterically through the faces of enlightened beings… I laughed with God… Then began to sob with the pain of it all… The restriction… The suffering of those around me. I felt how Pisces has seen it all being the final sign of the zodiac… And so it understands that both of these energies reside in everything. That is where the compassion and understanding and acts of service are spawned. I felt the frustration of having to choose an archetype to work through when I am formless, without a label, without a box restricting my spirit. I saw hell every archetype has its own Carmas attached… But also acknowledged without these archetypes the great river has no real way of expressing itself. And thus, the frustration of being a fish. Thank you again for your talks. I felt a need to escape, today, to either not feel.. or to feel understood… And now I do. Thank you
So many poets I can quote here, but this one seems most relevant: When you are sorrowful, look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth, you are weeping for that which has been your delight. ~ Khalil Gibran
It’s evident the energies are in Pisces - people seem ‘softer’ for lack of a better word. Aquarius season was a very detached and somewhat cold experience for myself and several around me. Even though I have Aqua moon I was ready for it to finish up and move into Pisces which is my ascendant.
As a triple Pisces, I often feel misunderstood by many astrologers. However, your description of this energy brought me to tears. So beautiful, thank you!
Taking the time for that daily hour is a wonderful suggestion. It's like "six bites from full". I may have taken the "divine discontent" for pisces too personally from the previous podcast. I just couldn't relate longing to discontent, maybe because as I currently long for something more, I'm also content with where I am. But your speaking of remembering and forgetting also reminds me, that just because I've processed my (up to now) pain and deep traumas, and can finally sit comfortably with my shadows, doesn't mean that I was not at several other points, truly discontent, consumed and even hopeless. It is a circle, and a cycle. And I wouldn't be who I am without it. Thank you again, for you have helped to truly bring me back to center in this moment. And I'm a pisces sun and a cancer moon.😅🌊
I have a stellium in Cancer all in the 5th with Pisces rising and I remember everything. Both a blessing and a curse. Great for learning but not for bad memories...
Really needed to hear this as someone in Austin, TX, who has experienced the loss of power and water for several days and just recently restored. Witnessing our 70-degree couple of days makes it seem like nothing ever happened, although I know many are still waiting for water and relief from water-related damage (burst pipes). I look forward to the lifting of our boil notice possibly by the 25th. Mostly very grateful for the help and the ability to be of help during this intense time. As someone who grew up in New England, I remember harsh winters so had a different perspective and ability, and many friends and family checking in on us from up North. Thank you for the hopeful energy forecast and reminder of the deeper spiritual significance of these transformative events.
Thank you Acyuta for your message of this pisces season ... As a cancer moon and Asc I intuitively know that mistakes like pain - are lessons that have to be reflected on and to be used to have deeper look into that and try to see or try to bring out from that something beautiful... one of my favoured drawings that I made was done over one of my drawings that made me think that I ruined nice piece of paper - everything got in a mysterious way so right in place that It could nt have been a coincidence- but invisible harmony of the Universe that is begging us to be attuned to the sacred Dance of the Universe...Thanks again :)
that new creativity sparking off a seemingly "error" reminds ke of the japanese art of gluing broken porcelain and painting the parts golden 🤍 i knew this was going to be a good episode. thank you acyuta bhava das ✌🏽🤗
Yesterday afternoon I literally wrote in my sketchbook “things to remember” it was a list of feelings and concepts I discovered in crisis that I know are so valuable and should be so central to me always. Things I need to never forget especially when crisis has gone and mundane remains.
This Moon and Venus in Cancer in 8th house born soul truly truly appreciates the Cancer description: the connection to source (God=love), the longing to what once was and yet still could be, so you live your current life with that knowing, with the feeling guiding you. I have so much faith in this that I will use it to live beyond 120 years in this lifetime...there’s much to do by just being.
What a hugely informative teaching you share today! With Venus as the planet of Oriental appearance in my natal chart, in the first degree of Aries conjunct the IC and ruler of my Taurus Sun (among other things!) & chart ruler Jupiter conjunct Uranus in Cancer (8th house), I related deeply with your descriptions of these signs (my Venus feels quite Piscean!) & the ascription of memory being intrinsic ...the LONGING being the goal! I cannot express the gratitude I feel for this revelation! THANK YOU!!
Pisces moon 12th house... not really wanting to talk about how I am feeling. Listening to lucid dreaming podcast. Dreams have been off the charts. A beautiful and very helpful talk today - thank you.
This was so good. That horary was amazing too! I will have a Venus return on March 4, and I am already feeling occasional brief flashes of hopeful inspiration, true compassion with people walking by me on the streets and the intense beauty of just being alive that comes from within. I love the way you described the high note of that feeling. I relate this feeling with Hexagram 24 - Return (of the Light) in the I Ching Book of Changes with a healthy Pisces energy. All Yin (dark) lines, with a Yang (light) coming into the hexagram from below. Very hopeful and good-feeling. Thank you.
Acyuta-bhava I've had a daily sadhana (kundalini yoga) for almost 2 years. You have beautifully described that essence and subtlety that is gained from the practice. Again, beautiful teaching. Totally love it.
I appreciate how you advise us to be responsible with the energies instead of just going with the flow. I know both choices will bring us a new understanding of ourselves. I guess it's just whatever speaks the loudest. Anywho, beautiful talk today!
Thank you. Always a blessing to receive your messages. Yes. Suddenly, since yesterday I began to remember when i was in darkness 2 years ago and how i overcame it with time and spiritual work and i kind of forgot how it was, and then suddenly i remember it and recognize it again and i understand the cycles and i really loved your video about something so clear. Thank you. Yes, sadhana as you say and your daughters and wife interactions about mistakes and how to transform them is so beautiful. My respect to you. Thank you.
As a pisces sun, an artist, this has been THE most inspirational pieces of wisdom I have received in a long long time. Thank You. Nostos Algos....the pain of returning home. So so so relevant.
I just watched your March Astrology video as well. Today I received a great sum of money that will support me for a couple of months while I get my new business off the ground. It was a gift, just benevolent support to protect and serve me while I grow my presence and voice online in the arena of Astrology and intuitive guidance. I’ll be planning and setting my foundation most of Pisces season and launching March 20. I feel so in harmony and flow.
I haven't left a RUclips comment in about 10 years, but I felt this video was beyond worthy, I am already implementing some of the wisdom in a practical way, thank you! 🙏🙏🙏🙏
This talk was profound to my moment! I'm Cancer rising, the Aquarius stellium in my in 8th house of death and transformation. And today as the Moon in Cancer trines with Pisces in the 9th house, I literally feel the completion of the mother aspect of me into the birth of the high priestess that I always longed to serve. Wow!
Aloha & Mahalo for this helpful and encouraging video Adam 🙏🏼💚 Venus combust influenced my urges and I am praying for a miraculous peaceful recovery. It was minor in the big picture, but totally out of character. Thank you for reassuring us.
Being a Libra, learning about the need for Venus to have freedom is such a revelation. My rising is Aquarius so I always blamed that for my need to not feel restricted. Great informative video.
Thank you, I really enjoyed this. As a Pisces with an Aquarius moon and having a cancer north node, I related to this on many levels. I especially related to the venicuan idea Of longing for some thing that you remember, versus something you want. Also, I can very much relate to the Constant process of continuously remembering and forgetting the light and the dark. We were recently fantasizing about moving somewhere with a warm tropical climate and how wonderful it might feel to live there. Meanwhile, we live in one of the most beautiful and desirable coastal areas of the US! I was able to recognize my desire for adventure to be that which was driving me to fantasize, and not really any lack of what I already have, nor a reflection of something that I actually need to be happy.
Beautiful.So often I have read back on journals surprising myself with what I already understood about myself, life, love etc. where it became obvious how consistently forgetful I/ we are, so thank you Acyuta you have really helped me understand this cycle at much deeper level. Until I forget!
That Minneapolis winter cycle is something else. It is SO dark and deep and all consuming that all you do is hibernate deeply. Come that first 50 degree day, there is this giant BURST of life like no one has ever seen before. Minneapolis BURSTS into the most joyous expression of life. There is three months to get it ALL out. So everyone rides their bikes, goes to the lakes, talks to everyone on the street. Just hangs out and is outside doing all the things. The city positively buzzes for three months. It's invigorating like a drug. We got caught in this cycle where it was time for us to leave , but come summer you wouldn't want to leave because it was so glorious. And then as soon as winter came you were sucked into absolutely positively NOT being able to do something like move. :) (Thre's no spring or fall in Minnesota, just winter and non-winter for three months. 😂) Finally we said alright this is IT. This is the summer! :) Also, wanted to say that I'm feeling this longing to see this certain number in my crypto currency portfolio. I've been quite fixated on this number, and my ego is trying to *figure it out*. Today I realized that I'm doing it and that it never works, so I picked up this book called "It's Not Your Money" which reminds me of what you're talking about with the mother concept. The entire basis of the book is to get sucked up into Source. To give everything to Source. So in a way, you're always living like a baby dependent on its mother with Source as the mother you're dependent on.
Thank you for your anaolgies near the end. I am a pisces going through what i would explain as a hard time. A rough go. Feeling like im stuck in at as well. Thinking why is this happening and when will it ever end. I'm usually positive and thankful ect and this last month or so I've been feeling beat down and struggling to smile. I literally go through the day seeing my children and feeling so much love inside but then emotionally break down by the end of the day feeling burnt out. Part of me is being pulled to see the beauty and part of me feels stuck in the darkness of the physical pain I'm experiencing. I just have started to "remember" within the past 2 weeks the feeling of spring and how good i feel to root my feet to the earth, garden and forage. This has given me a little boost of hope. I will begin adding this remembering to my spiritual practice. Thanks for taking the time to share these great videos with us. Blessings to you
Thank you so much. I was just thinking today of how it is important to remember the past, to recover the memory and with it ourselves. You meant a more fundamental way of remembering and forgetting in general and it was speaking to my soul. Beautiful “daily practice of remembrance” 🙏
Pisces moon, Cancer rising. 3 years ago, I started observing the changes in the light as part of my spiritual practice. I've learned so much from this practice and now that I've started studying astrology, I'm learning even more. Two general observations Id like to share: 1) It didn't take me very long to realize how bitter sweet the summer solstice truly can be. While winter solstice can bring hope and comfort of the up coming warmth and long days even though the coldest part of winter is yet to come, the summer solstice can bring a sense of sadness and grieving even though the hottest part of the summer has not occurred yet. 2) February has always been a very difficult month for me (seasonal effective disorder). I usually need to take a mental health day off work I get so bad. This year because isolation, I found myself not wanting to come out of the darkness because in the darkness there is stillness, rest and peace to be found and I could hide in the darkness away from my worldly problems. I've never experienced this before but I think I kind of better understand why some people hit the self destruct button... there is peace in nothingness. Either way, I'm glad Pisces season has me starting to dream of a better future. It's infused hope and a direction back into my life and has me motivated to start moving forward once more.
Interesting note about forgetting. I'm in TX and was without electricity during the winter storm for 3 days. But in that extreme experience, I forgot my status quo life. For days after the electricity came back on, I would have to remind myself that I didn't have to boil water to make coffee in the dark. It was weird. And then our spring- like weather came to help set me straight and heal my emotional frostbite. Such joy and hope in warm sunshine!
When Saturn squared Uranus on the 17th, my area in Michigan received a ton of snow throughout the night. I woke up to a loud crashing noise. The canvas roof on my gazebo, supported by metal rods, concaved under the weight. I always wrapped the entire gazebo with heavy plastic in winter, and the snow usually avalanced off. What a mess. I now have to get up on a ladder, lean over and shovel snow and water out of the big black hole. That first night I ended up with the worst stiff neck that will not go away. Pisces 4th house. Cancer moon. Moon just went thru Cancer and I have done nothing but cry bcuz I would spend hours inside the gazebo feeling peaceful.
Pisces with high Venus vibes right here.. I loooove looking forward to Spring.. 1 more month, the best one of Winter-time. Loved this, thank you so much :-) It's going to be a wonderful week!! Definitely celebrating this full Moon coming up :-))
Loved hearing about your wife and daughter Acyuta-bhava Das that does wonders for children's confidence! I'll share what I tell my niece (I'm a cancer rising so big mom vibes) as well as subscribers on my channel, "A mistake is not a mistake if you learn from it. If you learn from it, it therefore becomes a lesson. Each lesson is like a feather in your cap and when you have lots of feathers... you become a chief!" There's a whole hand motion that goes with it lol but feel free to get creative with it. 💕
Pisces rising - I so identify with being on an ‘emotional crusade’ ... always! It’s been a tough week with natal Venus in Aquarius (12th house). I sure know about heartache, but also about getting up again and seeing the good in the smallest things - Jupiter in 1st house. Looking forward to these shifts ✨
I really appreciate the seasonal remembering and forgetting spiritualizing discussion. Pisces sun in my D9 chart... all this just resonates so much. Thank you!
My house had a flood on Sunday morning at 3 am on February 28th. The Pisces Full Moon on Saturday morning brought a flood to our home. My mom woke me up to tell me this. She called the plumber at 3 am and, actually, he was awake and answered the phone. He agreed to come over later Sunday morning. When he came he went directly to where the flood was coming from and fixed it right away. Good Fortune abounds.
Cancer Sun, Pisces Moon. Venus is about to enter my 7th house. I felt today's video deep in my soul. The continual discontent with the external world and in relationships in specific (despite everything amazing in my life) was so validated today. Now I am appreciating the "emotional crusade," surrendering to it and seeing where that will take me. Regardless of it is into light or into darkness, it is an intrinsic beauty in my life story.
Exactly this mate. I’m learning how to do my own nails. It’s one of those things that to get really right, you have to perfect it and learn from mistakes. My other half has been learning the piano and we were talking about this earlier.
That was brilliant. I have been not understanding how to come to terms with this back and forth remembering and hoping forgetting or trying to let go. Pisces stellium here. Lots of Capricorn to balance and maybe fortunate to have Uranus in cancer in the 6 th house. Uranus’s being present in the moment is the gift with that. What’s been really difficult is watching others go through and not knowing what to do to be helpful especially during these times. I’ve been getting family involved in putting together a joint picture book project. Thats my story. Mercury Jupiter no node sun and port of fortune in Pisces. The trine to my ascendant now is nice. With moon also in cap training my sun. ( very thankful for that. I’m reminded by your story of moving to Arizona when I was very young. It felt like sensory deprivation with out the seasons to accentuate our lives. Learning a new appreciation of the desert kind reminds me of your story about winter. 12 house moon here.
Remembrance.... you reminded me of loss grief and sorrow .... sort analogous of what you described using the seasons ....long stretches of sadness and loneliness soothed by love, nurture in this life ...
Good news! And venutian longing reminded me of Christmas. You have waited for so long that when it gets there, it is extra lovely. Also the spiritual longing really fill up with precious love. And beautiful stories you have! Pleasure to listen to!
wow, this was beautiful. you have made the best case for a daily practice, which is something I had been weakly intending to do for so long. with thanks and blessings to you from a Piscean Sun.
Incredibly acurate for me: I have Venus at 0:44 in Pisces (master of my Taurus rising). On Feb. 18th I took a damaged carpet that had belonged to my mother to get it repaired on the 19th (costs a fortune), then on the 20th-21st I was gained by memories of my past and of my dearest passed ones and it caused me much pain and sorrow at the extend of feeling angry with my propension to sentimentalism (always the same old song, I know that but can't help). While listening to you I feel the relief of the waxing Moon and Venus being dignified in the sign of Pisces.
When i left my 30 year job, i gar to Go into a darkness of no knowing before in my 65 old life. I allways tried to remember the light. NOway. After 10 month of Isolation an s depression it was done. Very hard and good experience. Love
Interesting and valuable is putting it lightly! Wow, I think this is one of my favorite videos you've done. It's been beautiful. And deeply thought provoking. I appreciate you!🙏💗
South Texas is the only place where it can be in single digits freezing and by the end of the week will be in the 70s! The last big or major freeze like we had was in 2011. I remember freezes since I was a child. It’s been 126 years being this devastated. Your insight reminds me of a song,”Season in the sun,” by Terry Jack.
I feel like you just talked me off a ledge. Although my natal Venus is in Taurus, I'm so watery with a Cancer Sun /Scorpio Moon & Neptune & Ascendant all conjunct/ and Pieces Chiron that all giving me a Grand water trine. Interestingly I have literally come close to drowning probably more times than I know, beginning at only 1+ when my parents each though the other had me and found me wading into the salt water bayou that was at the end of our back yard. My brother remembers me falling out of sailboat at 2 something- no life vest, and our dad grabbing wildly in the dark water of the Gulf of Mexico and coming up with me, but he said, "you were gone". Years of playing in the bayou and not safely, and then there was the bathtub full of water after too many Kamikazes in college, and the canoe trip in a flooded river with dogs that tipped the boat. Thanks for your work.
The example of your daughters art/craft moments of trying to move past a perceived mistake reminds me of an excellent book for kids called, ‘Beautiful Oops’ fantastic preschool age pop up book that encapsulates this concept. As an Art teacher, I would give your wife a gold star for guiding your daughter through those moments! 😎 My young daughter Pisces Asc and sun in Pisces has been having a really hard time with friend dynamics. Her school counselor said my daughter can sometimes catastrophize situations and scenarios. She came home early yesterday and stayed home today with a tummy ache. Lately I feel like I am constantly helping my kids navigate through really challenging relationship dynamics. So I look forward to this energy lifting some. Thank Goodness my Asc is in Cancer and my daughter and I both have Saturn in Libra. With my stellium in Capricorn (moon, sun, mercury and node), I’m days away from saying “suck it up buttercup!”.
Driving to work one morning (thirty-five year ago...?) I saw a hawk snatch a rabbit, and fly away for breakfast. I thought, 'oh, NO!' But I heard, "The Divine loves the hawk, and the hare, the same." It's hard not to take sides, or prefer comfort and fun, to discomfort and labor. Perhaps the best way to praise is to just be in the moment, and be aware of 'being...'
This was so helpful for me. I'd spent since Friday February 26th having these uncharacteristic bouts of sobbing. Was this transit still having an effect? Well it felt like it. I found out that the man I had dated for 7 years is now having a baby with his wife. This all while I'm in an unsustainable romantic relationship with a much younger man and working on freezing my eggs as I try to figure out my future relationship with partnership and families. I had left my ex over 6 years ago with real conviction and certainty that I could no longer be with him, that I was unfulfilled. But, these past few days, I've bizarrely thrown myself into idealizing the past. He has been working at the same health food coop since we first got together, so it's been about 15 years now, and now his pregnant wife works there with him. He always came home and quietly worked on his music and art, which was beautiful. I'm fantasizing about this quiet, profound little life they have together, hermetic and aesthetic with lots of love and family and little ego. I myself am somewhat vain and ambitious and seeking something, and moved to the big city after leaving him to pursue my dreams of becoming a recognized working artist. It's paying off, but these past few days, with this transit, I felt such longing for him, and sadness at his being totally lost to me. That's also because when he married this woman he broke off our friendship entirely, whereas before that we had stayed connected and that was important to me as I respect his choices and style so much. Anyway, this is a long comment! But just to say this video really helped, thank you, and it's good to remember to remember and forget the darkness every day, and to respect one's past and past loves, but maybe no need to regret anything. Preparing myself for the next wave now. I have my own path and no use drooling over a false notion of the past. I am what I am. I was unhappy and felt very trapped back then. Gemini rising, Capricorn sun, Venus and Mars in Pisces, by the way. He was a lovely Cancer, Sag rising, Venus in Taurus. It makes sense.
Greetings from Dallas, Tx. My Cancer moon at 26° Cancer 11H & My Pisces North node conjunct chart ruler Mercury with the Neptune transit exact, I'm really feeling this one. Chiron transit still sitting pretty exact my sun in Aries 8H. If I make it through this, I know I'll be forever changed for the better. Thanks for all your hard work.
Your presence in my life via YT is an anchor. Thank you, Acyuta-bhava Das 🙏🏼.
Same, thank you 🙏 as a Pisces, the urge to escape into the warm loving embrace of spirit is met with Actuta-bhava Das’s sermons of the stars
@@myrrhseart that's so beautiful, & true ☺️.
I come here for the astrology knowledge and leave with the wisdom I never knew I needed
Your jazz example is brilliant. I am a designer by self taught and I have learn those that go to the academia try to be perfect a design and are more by the rules no stepping out of line, as in a self taugh/jazz player we don’t mind mistakes because they may lead to new structures of playfulness allowing more creativity to flow threw.
It’s great that your daughter is learning these lessons now.
Beautiful! I am reminded of the time I was sitting outside on my deck with my son's girlfriend's 4yr old, and she was reminding me of something we did that I couldn't remember, and I told her I forgot. She touched my heart deeply when she proceeded to say " that's ok, I'll be your memory"! I'm a cancer sun, pisces Jupiter/moon, gemini rising.
love that!
That's a heartstring pull!
I am nearly beyond words… Thank you for this sermon from the stars. I am a Pisces sun with a cancer moon. Today, after a group contemplation (basically radical bible study) took the day to wander the snowy woods imbibed with some earth medicine… I felt my mind completely absorbed with the ether as if I was receiving downloads from an external source. I was contemplating the water, after contemplating your video about Pisces. I contemplated how I felt as a Pisces. I felt myself as a great river that had been dammed up… An expansive being forced into a container (and now I am crying). I perceived myself as that total yin state that forces nothing and just is. I felt frustrated that I live in a society that values pushing and achieving and power over the simple magic of Being-ness. I became overwhelmed with nostalgia for the great ocean of consciousness - for the warmth and love that resides there. I became very aware of my Uranus influence - being that I have an Aquarian Stellium… I was in an altered state of mind that is not generally excepted in society, however I felt more myself. I behaved outrageously, like a child, laying in the snow, touching the trees, trying to see deeper into the colors that were truly there, rather than what the rational mind perceives. I gathered energy between my palms and watched my aura glow with the snow as a perfect backdrop. I was fully conscious that if anyone saw me they would think I was bat shit crazy LOL. Does expanding on what it feels like to be a Pisces: yearning for a home that feels unattainable, feeling misunderstood by most of society, and feeling constraint living in this dimension and time space. I contemplated The duality that arrives with every manifestation and experience - that it’s always what you want but never good enough… And saw an image of God laughing hysterically through the faces of enlightened beings… I laughed with God… Then began to sob with the pain of it all… The restriction… The suffering of those around me. I felt how Pisces has seen it all being the final sign of the zodiac… And so it understands that both of these energies reside in everything. That is where the compassion and understanding and acts of service are spawned. I felt the frustration of having to choose an archetype to work through when I am formless, without a label, without a box restricting my spirit. I saw hell every archetype has its own Carmas attached… But also acknowledged without these archetypes the great river has no real way of expressing itself. And thus, the frustration of being a fish.
Thank you again for your talks. I felt a need to escape, today, to either not feel.. or to feel understood… And now I do. Thank you
If your a river ,it usually winds up somewhere and everyone around knows that river.

As a cancer moon and Asc I intuitively know that mistakes like pain - are lessons that have to be reflected on and to be used to have deeper look into that and try to see or try to bring out from that something beautiful... one of my favoured drawings that I made was done over one of my drawings that made me think that I ruined nice piece of paper - everything got in a mysterious way so right in place that It could nt have been a coincidence- but invisible harmony of the Universe that is begging us to be attuned to the sacred Dance of the Universe...Thanks again :)
that new creativity sparking off a seemingly "error" reminds ke of the japanese art of gluing broken porcelain and painting the parts golden 🤍 i knew this was going to be a good episode. thank you acyuta bhava das ✌🏽🤗
Kintsugi!
Wabi-sabi is a beautiful philosophy. Good week to paint some Enso circles!
This was just brilliant. Pure excellence in your work, and very much needed. Heartfelt wishes from Germany🤗
Yesterday afternoon I literally wrote in my sketchbook “things to remember” it was a list of feelings and concepts I discovered in crisis that I know are so valuable and should be so central to me always. Things I need to never forget especially when crisis has gone and mundane remains.
This Moon and Venus in Cancer in 8th house born soul truly truly appreciates the Cancer description: the connection to source (God=love), the longing to what once was and yet still could be, so you live your current life with that knowing, with the feeling guiding you. I have so much faith in this that I will use it to live beyond 120 years in this lifetime...there’s much to do by just being.
What a hugely informative teaching you share today! With Venus as the planet of Oriental appearance in my natal chart, in the first degree of Aries conjunct the IC and ruler of my Taurus Sun (among other things!) & chart ruler Jupiter conjunct Uranus in Cancer (8th house), I related deeply with your descriptions of these signs (my Venus feels quite Piscean!) & the ascription of memory being intrinsic ...the LONGING being the goal! I cannot express the gratitude I feel for this revelation! THANK YOU!!
Pisces moon 12th house... not really wanting to talk about how I am feeling. Listening to lucid dreaming podcast. Dreams have been off the charts. A beautiful and very helpful talk today - thank you.
This was so good. That horary was amazing too! I will have a Venus return on March 4, and I am already feeling occasional brief flashes of hopeful inspiration, true compassion with people walking by me on the streets and the intense beauty of just being alive that comes from within. I love the way you described the high note of that feeling. I relate this feeling with Hexagram 24 - Return (of the Light) in the I Ching Book of Changes with a healthy Pisces energy. All Yin (dark) lines, with a Yang (light) coming into the hexagram from below. Very hopeful and good-feeling. Thank you.
Acyuta-bhava I've had a daily sadhana (kundalini yoga) for almost 2 years. You have beautifully described that essence and subtlety that is gained from the practice. Again, beautiful teaching. Totally love it.
I appreciate how you advise us to be responsible with the energies instead of just going with the flow. I know both choices will bring us a new understanding of ourselves. I guess it's just whatever speaks the loudest. Anywho, beautiful talk today!
Thank you. Always a blessing to receive your messages. Yes. Suddenly, since yesterday I began to remember when i was in darkness 2 years ago and how i overcame it with time and spiritual work and i kind of forgot how it was, and then suddenly i remember it and recognize it again and i understand the cycles and i really loved your video about something so clear. Thank you. Yes, sadhana as you say and your daughters and wife interactions about mistakes and how to transform them is so beautiful. My respect to you. Thank you.
As a pisces sun, an artist, this has been THE most inspirational pieces of wisdom I have received in a long long time. Thank You. Nostos Algos....the pain of returning home. So so so relevant.
No learning, only re-membering. Thank you for this. Blessings All.
I just watched your March Astrology video as well. Today I received a great sum of money that will support me for a couple of months while I get my new business off the ground. It was a gift, just benevolent support to protect and serve me while I grow my presence and voice online in the arena of Astrology and intuitive guidance. I’ll be planning and setting my foundation most of Pisces season and launching March 20. I feel so in harmony and flow.
😊 thanks... always love your updates.
I haven't left a RUclips comment in about 10 years, but I felt this video was beyond worthy, I am already implementing some of the wisdom in a practical way, thank you! 🙏🙏🙏🙏
love this discussion of the light and dark. remembering the darkness strikes me as a way to compassion..
This talk was profound to my moment! I'm Cancer rising, the Aquarius stellium in my in 8th house of death and transformation. And today as the Moon in Cancer trines with Pisces in the 9th house, I literally feel the completion of the mother aspect of me into the birth of the high priestess that I always longed to serve. Wow!
Ah so helpful. Very painful day today and your words helped me move through it.
Aloha & Mahalo for this helpful and encouraging video Adam 🙏🏼💚 Venus combust influenced my urges and I am praying for a miraculous peaceful recovery. It was minor in the big picture, but totally out of character. Thank you for reassuring us.
Being a Libra, learning about the need for Venus to have freedom is such a revelation. My rising is Aquarius so I always blamed that for my need to not feel restricted. Great informative video.
Thank you, I really enjoyed this. As a Pisces with an Aquarius moon and having a cancer north node, I related to this on many levels. I especially related to the venicuan idea Of longing for some thing that you remember, versus something you want. Also, I can very much relate to the Constant process of continuously remembering and forgetting the light and the dark. We were recently fantasizing about moving somewhere with a warm tropical climate and how wonderful it might feel to live there. Meanwhile, we live in one of the most beautiful and desirable coastal areas of the US! I was able to recognize my desire for adventure to be that which was driving me to fantasize, and not really any lack of what I already have, nor a reflection of something that I actually need to be happy.
Beautiful.So often I have read back on journals surprising myself with what I already understood about myself, life, love etc. where it became obvious how consistently forgetful I/ we are, so thank you Acyuta you have really helped me understand this cycle at much deeper level. Until I forget!
You have a beautiful gift of putting all these concepts into words. Thank you!
Jazz and Classically trained here. Yup, your quote on jazz is indeed true. 👍👍💝
That Minneapolis winter cycle is something else. It is SO dark and deep and all consuming that all you do is hibernate deeply. Come that first 50 degree day, there is this giant BURST of life like no one has ever seen before. Minneapolis BURSTS into the most joyous expression of life. There is three months to get it ALL out. So everyone rides their bikes, goes to the lakes, talks to everyone on the street. Just hangs out and is outside doing all the things. The city positively buzzes for three months. It's invigorating like a drug. We got caught in this cycle where it was time for us to leave , but come summer you wouldn't want to leave because it was so glorious. And then as soon as winter came you were sucked into absolutely positively NOT being able to do something like move. :) (Thre's no spring or fall in Minnesota, just winter and non-winter for three months. 😂) Finally we said alright this is IT. This is the summer! :)
Also, wanted to say that I'm feeling this longing to see this certain number in my crypto currency portfolio. I've been quite fixated on this number, and my ego is trying to *figure it out*. Today I realized that I'm doing it and that it never works, so I picked up this book called "It's Not Your Money" which reminds me of what you're talking about with the mother concept. The entire basis of the book is to get sucked up into Source. To give everything to Source. So in a way, you're always living like a baby dependent on its mother with Source as the mother you're dependent on.
Thank you for your anaolgies near the end. I am a pisces going through what i would explain as a hard time. A rough go. Feeling like im stuck in at as well. Thinking why is this happening and when will it ever end. I'm usually positive and thankful ect and this last month or so I've been feeling beat down and struggling to smile. I literally go through the day seeing my children and feeling so much love inside but then emotionally break down by the end of the day feeling burnt out. Part of me is being pulled to see the beauty and part of me feels stuck in the darkness of the physical pain I'm experiencing. I just have started to "remember" within the past 2 weeks the feeling of spring and how good i feel to root my feet to the earth, garden and forage. This has given me a little boost of hope. I will begin adding this remembering to my spiritual practice. Thanks for taking the time to share these great videos with us.
Blessings to you
Thank you so much. I was just thinking today of how it is important to remember the past, to recover the memory and with it ourselves. You meant a more fundamental way of remembering and forgetting in general and it was speaking to my soul. Beautiful “daily practice of remembrance” 🙏
Interesting that water holds memory. 🌙
What a nice warm hug of a talk today - thanks Acyuta. 😘
Pisces moon, Cancer rising. 3 years ago, I started observing the changes in the light as part of my spiritual practice. I've learned so much from this practice and now that I've started studying astrology, I'm learning even more. Two general observations Id like to share: 1) It didn't take me very long to realize how bitter sweet the summer solstice truly can be. While winter solstice can bring hope and comfort of the up coming warmth and long days even though the coldest part of winter is yet to come, the summer solstice can bring a sense of sadness and grieving even though the hottest part of the summer has not occurred yet. 2) February has always been a very difficult month for me (seasonal effective disorder). I usually need to take a mental health day off work I get so bad. This year because isolation, I found myself not wanting to come out of the darkness because in the darkness there is stillness, rest and peace to be found and I could hide in the darkness away from my worldly problems. I've never experienced this before but I think I kind of better understand why some people hit the self destruct button... there is peace in nothingness. Either way, I'm glad Pisces season has me starting to dream of a better future. It's infused hope and a direction back into my life and has me motivated to start moving forward once more.
Interesting note about forgetting. I'm in TX and was without electricity during the winter storm for 3 days. But in that extreme experience, I forgot my status quo life. For days after the electricity came back on, I would have to remind myself that I didn't have to boil water to make coffee in the dark. It was weird. And then our spring- like weather came to help set me straight and heal my emotional frostbite. Such joy and hope in warm sunshine!
When Saturn squared Uranus on the 17th, my area in Michigan received a ton of snow throughout the night. I woke up to a loud crashing noise. The canvas roof on my gazebo, supported by metal rods, concaved under the weight. I always wrapped the entire gazebo with heavy plastic in winter, and the snow usually avalanced off. What a mess. I now have to get up on a ladder, lean over and shovel snow and water out of the big black hole. That first night I ended up with the worst stiff neck that will not go away. Pisces 4th house. Cancer moon. Moon just went thru Cancer and I have done nothing but cry bcuz I would spend hours inside the gazebo feeling peaceful.
Pisces with high Venus vibes right here.. I loooove looking forward to Spring.. 1 more month, the best one of Winter-time. Loved this, thank you so much :-) It's going to be a wonderful week!! Definitely celebrating this full Moon coming up :-))
To me, this was THE most valuable video you have posted. Deep heartfelt thanks!
Loved hearing about your wife and daughter Acyuta-bhava Das that does wonders for children's confidence! I'll share what I tell my niece (I'm a cancer rising so big mom vibes) as well as subscribers on my channel, "A mistake is not a mistake if you learn from it. If you learn from it, it therefore becomes a lesson. Each lesson is like a feather in your cap and when you have lots of feathers... you become a chief!" There's a whole hand motion that goes with it lol but feel free to get creative with it. 💕
Pisces rising - I so identify with being on an ‘emotional crusade’ ... always! It’s been a tough week with natal Venus in Aquarius (12th house). I sure know about heartache, but also about getting up again and seeing the good in the smallest things - Jupiter in 1st house. Looking forward to these shifts ✨
I really appreciate the seasonal remembering and forgetting spiritualizing discussion. Pisces sun in my D9 chart... all this just resonates so much. Thank you!
So beautiful. Thank you for the reminder.
My Venus is in Pisces and it really resonated
My house had a flood on Sunday morning at 3 am on February 28th. The Pisces Full Moon on Saturday morning brought a flood to our home. My mom woke me up to tell me this. She called the plumber at 3 am and, actually, he was awake and answered the phone. He agreed to come over later Sunday morning. When he came he went directly to where the flood was coming from and fixed it right away. Good Fortune abounds.
Water is prominent in my Chart, so this did speak to me deeply.
Thank you. 🙏☀️🌼
So personal, connecting and right on time!! Thank you. Thank you.
A very supportive message as I’m working to bring forward a project this weekend pertaining to helping people connect through memories.
Great talk today! I really enjoyed your explanation of dark and light, and how it relates to the water signs.
Cancer Sun, Pisces Moon. Venus is about to enter my 7th house. I felt today's video deep in my soul. The continual discontent with the external world and in relationships in specific (despite everything amazing in my life) was so validated today. Now I am appreciating the "emotional crusade," surrendering to it and seeing where that will take me. Regardless of it is into light or into darkness, it is an intrinsic beauty in my life story.
Texas winter interlude is back to sunny bare feet in the back yard pruning back the damage.
Beautiful message. Thank you. 🙏🏼
You are such a good teacher
Exactly this mate. I’m learning how to do my own nails. It’s one of those things that to get really right, you have to perfect it and learn from mistakes. My other half has been learning the piano and we were talking about this earlier.
That was brilliant. I have been not understanding how to come to terms with this back and forth remembering and hoping forgetting or trying to let go. Pisces stellium here. Lots of Capricorn to balance and maybe fortunate to have Uranus in cancer in the 6 th house. Uranus’s being present in the moment is the gift with that. What’s been really difficult is watching others go through and not knowing what to do to be helpful especially during these times. I’ve been getting family involved in putting together a joint picture book project. Thats my story. Mercury Jupiter no node sun and port of fortune in Pisces. The trine to my ascendant now is nice. With moon also in cap training my sun. ( very thankful for that. I’m reminded by your story of moving to Arizona when I was very young. It felt like sensory deprivation with out the seasons to accentuate our lives. Learning a new appreciation of the desert kind reminds me of your story about winter. 12 house moon here.
Remembrance.... you reminded me of loss grief and sorrow .... sort analogous of what you described using the seasons ....long stretches of sadness and loneliness soothed by love, nurture in this life ...
Also, a violinist here. I can relate, Venusian Intensity on the "High Notes".👍
This was such a blessing to me this morning.
Good news! And venutian longing reminded me of Christmas. You have waited for so long that when it gets there, it is extra lovely. Also the spiritual longing really fill up with precious love. And beautiful stories you have! Pleasure to listen to!
Thank you for putting up these videos for us, we really appreciate them.
wow, this was beautiful. you have made the best case for a daily practice, which is something I had been weakly intending to do for so long. with thanks and blessings to you from a Piscean Sun.
This is hands down one of my favorite videos of yours- so so so beautiful
This was so beautiful. 🥺 wow
Incredibly acurate for me: I have Venus at 0:44 in Pisces (master of my Taurus rising). On Feb. 18th I took a damaged carpet that had belonged to my mother to get it repaired on the 19th (costs a fortune), then on the 20th-21st I was gained by memories of my past and of my dearest passed ones and it caused me much pain and sorrow at the extend of feeling angry with my propension to sentimentalism (always the same old song, I know that but can't help). While listening to you I feel the relief of the waxing Moon and Venus being dignified in the sign of Pisces.
Venus, jupiter, eros and Fortune in pisces here
thank you deeply
Thank you for the video. Much appreciated. The style, the content, the energy behind your words is on point. You have fantastic skills.
So beautifully said, longing for something in the future, so attracted to it because I feel I somehow remember it. Venus in Pisces here.
Pisces stellium, sixth house. I needed to hear this. Namaste
🙏🏻 ❤️
When i left my 30 year job, i gar to Go into a darkness of no knowing before in my 65 old life. I allways tried to remember the light. NOway. After 10 month of Isolation an s depression it was done. Very hard and good experience. Love
Interesting and valuable is putting it lightly! Wow, I think this is one of my favorite videos you've done. It's been beautiful. And deeply thought provoking. I appreciate you!🙏💗
Taking time to remember....
Utterly priceless....
TY
South Texas is the only place where it can be in single digits freezing and by the end of the week will be in the 70s! The last big or major freeze like we had was in 2011. I remember freezes since I was a child. It’s been 126 years being this devastated.
Your insight reminds me of a song,”Season in the sun,” by Terry Jack.
Not even kidding...our girls, which are the same age as yours, had this exact thing happen while I was listening to this episode!! 😂💓
It’s great when you get on a role it’s like take us to church and preach it! Good stuff
If you stumble make it a part of the dance.
dam brother, well said! the dahli once said the only thing to fear in life is repetition
Hi ABD! Happy Pisces in to Venus! Thanks for the video ;) you’re the best 💘💫💗
Improvising in the midst of “failures” and “imperfections” makes me think of 5 of cups a little, but I’m just learning.
I feel like you just talked me off a ledge. Although my natal Venus is in Taurus, I'm so watery with a Cancer Sun /Scorpio Moon & Neptune & Ascendant all conjunct/ and Pieces Chiron that all giving me a Grand water trine. Interestingly I have literally come close to drowning probably more times than I know, beginning at only 1+ when my parents each though the other had me and found me wading into the salt water bayou that was at the end of our back yard. My brother remembers me falling out of sailboat at 2 something- no life vest, and our dad grabbing wildly in the dark water of the Gulf of Mexico and coming up with me, but he said, "you were gone". Years of playing in the bayou and not safely, and then there was the bathtub full of water after too many Kamikazes in college, and the canoe trip in a flooded river with dogs that tipped the boat. Thanks for your work.
The example of your daughters art/craft moments of trying to move past a perceived mistake reminds me of an excellent book for kids called, ‘Beautiful Oops’ fantastic preschool age pop up book that encapsulates this concept. As an Art teacher, I would give your wife a gold star for guiding your daughter through those moments! 😎
My young daughter Pisces Asc and sun in Pisces has been having a really hard time with friend dynamics. Her school counselor said my daughter can sometimes catastrophize situations and scenarios. She came home early yesterday and stayed home today with a tummy ache. Lately I feel like I am constantly helping my kids navigate through really challenging relationship dynamics. So I look forward to this energy lifting some. Thank Goodness my Asc is in Cancer and my daughter and I both have Saturn in Libra. With my stellium in Capricorn (moon, sun, mercury and node), I’m days away from saying “suck it up buttercup!”.
Driving to work one morning (thirty-five year ago...?) I saw a hawk snatch a rabbit, and fly away for breakfast. I thought, 'oh, NO!' But I heard, "The Divine loves the hawk, and the hare, the same." It's hard not to take sides, or prefer comfort and fun, to discomfort and labor. Perhaps the best way to praise is to just be in the moment, and be aware of 'being...'
This is so beautiful and enlightening. Thank you!
Thank you! This was truly a needed message / answer. 🙏
Thanks for sharing your wisdom. You're awesome! Bless you and yours
“Remembrance is of the dark and the light” wow
This was so helpful for me. I'd spent since Friday February 26th having these uncharacteristic bouts of sobbing. Was this transit still having an effect? Well it felt like it. I found out that the man I had dated for 7 years is now having a baby with his wife. This all while I'm in an unsustainable romantic relationship with a much younger man and working on freezing my eggs as I try to figure out my future relationship with partnership and families. I had left my ex over 6 years ago with real conviction and certainty that I could no longer be with him, that I was unfulfilled. But, these past few days, I've bizarrely thrown myself into idealizing the past. He has been working at the same health food coop since we first got together, so it's been about 15 years now, and now his pregnant wife works there with him. He always came home and quietly worked on his music and art, which was beautiful. I'm fantasizing about this quiet, profound little life they have together, hermetic and aesthetic with lots of love and family and little ego. I myself am somewhat vain and ambitious and seeking something, and moved to the big city after leaving him to pursue my dreams of becoming a recognized working artist. It's paying off, but these past few days, with this transit, I felt such longing for him, and sadness at his being totally lost to me. That's also because when he married this woman he broke off our friendship entirely, whereas before that we had stayed connected and that was important to me as I respect his choices and style so much. Anyway, this is a long comment! But just to say this video really helped, thank you, and it's good to remember to remember and forget the darkness every day, and to respect one's past and past loves, but maybe no need to regret anything. Preparing myself for the next wave now. I have my own path and no use drooling over a false notion of the past. I am what I am. I was unhappy and felt very trapped back then. Gemini rising, Capricorn sun, Venus and Mars in Pisces, by the way. He was a lovely Cancer, Sag rising, Venus in Taurus. It makes sense.
This was amazing as always- venus will be coming up to my pisces moon and jupiter soon., I def need to keep the forward longing in check/ realistic!
Thank you, Acyuta-bhava, this is a most excellent, warming, insightful talk. Wonderful!
My mother, myself, my oldest daughter and her first daughter all have cancer moon and it made me wonder about familial patterns.
Wow that was really beautiful
This was so beautiful and what I needed to hear. Thank you.
I love your broadcasts. They're always so enlightening 🤗🤗🤗. Blessings to you
Greetings from Dallas, Tx. My Cancer moon at 26° Cancer 11H & My Pisces North node conjunct chart ruler Mercury with the Neptune transit exact, I'm really feeling this one. Chiron transit still sitting pretty exact my sun in Aries 8H. If I make it through this, I know I'll be forever changed for the better. Thanks for all your hard work.
Extremely beautiful end beneficial. Thank you very much! ♓♀️🙋♀️🎯
