If May was a rollercoaster, June reveals agitation. An impatient angst.You may feel ready to get things done, but the cards whisper “not now, not yet” The world may see more expressions of tyranny and rebellion and economic losses as old institutions struggle and new institutions are yet to be formed. The Pandemic may continue to flare up in different regions of the world even though lockdown measures may ease. The key message for coping seems to be “step into the other person’s shoes” and acts of kindness. Deceptions may be exposed at a mass level and at an interpersonal level. Going deeper than that is the realisation that we can no longer deceive ourselves. Somewhere we have to be accountable for own thoughts, words and actions if we want harmony and unity.

Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Unfinished Karma comes to light. People and incidents from your past may re-emerge for a final hello and goodbye. Time to bring in a balance into your affairs. Go beyond yourself and think of the greater good. The more you share of your time, your knowledge and money, the more peace you will attain. New ideas for business may start coming, now all you need are people to help you. Decide who you’d like to turn to for direction. And prepare to be a bit more patient.

Taurus (Apr 20- May 20)

One massive chapter is coming to an end in your journey. Go back and see how far you’ve come but only for a second. A good time to start restructuring, reorganising and decluttering. Somethings are never going to be the same again. And you will have to accept it. Even if at times, it doesn’t make sense, just keep going. Your loved ones are your batteries in the days ahead, and make sure you frequently connect with them.

Gemini (May 21 – June 20)

Suddenly you begin to see things differently, for what they really are. And what they have become. A period of change begins as job seekers apply for new roles in new industries. And plans are made for shifting homes. Or even reaching a decision legally. It doesn’t matter if people don’t understand your perspective, your purpose is to be true to yourself. And do what’s right and what needs to be done. Radical changes in diet and lifestyle will be bring in the results you seek.

Cancer (June 21 – July 22)

You know it’s time for change when you just don’t feel like going to work anymore. How about polishing your resume. Or connecting with some old colleagues. Get the ball rolling. The cards do predict changes coming up for you after a bit of a wait, but first you will need to do some work for it. Personally things run smoothly, there’s peace within you which reflects in your relationships with your closest ones. A wonderful month to drop an old habit, your willpower is at its strongest now.

Leo (July 23- Aug 22)

From Excess to Moderation. Time to tighten up the purse strings. A temporary phase of financial stress may occur due to an unwise investment or an unpaid loan. Instead of worrying, start by being more accountable to your self and consider new sources of income. And if this feels all too familiar, lessons are repeated until we learn. Coworkers and clients may be exceptionally difficult to deal with and you may find yourself facing the consequences of past actions. An old friendship may be rekindled which will bring peace.

Virgo (Aug 23- Sept 22)

Negotiations may conclude successfully, and though your heart may not be in work, you will meet the deadline and the requirements. A part of you may crave change and want to leave your responsibilities behind but the rest of you will make sure you’re there for your loved ones and your team. If you find yourself constantly thinking about someone from your past, there may be some unfinished business you need to sort out. Mind your eating habits. Physical activity will help channel energies.

Libra (Sept 23- Oct 22)

Someone lends a hand just when you needed it. Friends come out to help you. Or you get a job in a dream company because of someone’s recommendation. All the good things you have done for others is returned in the form of praise, help, advice and promotion. A good time to feel grateful for your blessings. And if you were planning to get married, it may happen sooner than planned. Children bring joy and inspiration to your world.

Scorpio (Oct 23- Nov21)

Realise that if something is meant to be, it will come to you when it has to. When you stop expecting or searching too hard, things begin to happen. You may discover that you are not the cause and are truly powerless to change what is happening around you. Let go of something that’s just bringing you down unecessarily. A relationship which was under strain shows signs of harmony again. And if you were worrying about a payment, it will be received.

Saggitarius (Nov 22- Dec 21)

Sometimes a little white lie can lead to a major misunderstanding. Or sometimes something said inoccently could escalate into a fullblown argument. Watch your words. Before you shoot off your mouth, think, please. A lover or a mate may act possessive or jealous and it would best to handle it sensitively. Remember, they arent going to change. On the workfront, an important decision could bring about sudden changes in the whole company. Be mindful about how you treat your colleagues.

Capricorn (Dec 22-Jan19)

Delays delays delays. Count to 10 if you havent yet, cause this is the month of learning patience. Deadlines may change. People may frustrate you with their attitude. A promise may fizzle out. Beyond your control. No point reacting. No point blaming someone else. How about learning to accept the situation and do something else in the meantime. Romantically the person you are eyeing in may be playing games with you. Figure out their game plan. And woo them before they lose interest.

Aquarius (Jan 20- Feb 18)

Time to take a reality check, especially if you’ve been running away with your fears. What you fear the most is not going to happen so breathe easy. Learn to relax in the present moment instead of constantly worrying about the future. At work, a coworkers sudden resignation or departure may send everyone into a tizzy. A good time to talk with your girl friends, women have a lot of positive influence in your life, and now’s the time to absorb it all.

Pisces (Feb 19- Mar20)

Expect the unexpected in love matters and personal relationships. A part of you may feel like walking away or forgetting the pain of the past, but it will be hard. Seek help or healing.Plans may be sudden and unexpected. Remember the pessimism you feel will be replaced by joy, and whatever is happening is only temporary. Hang in there, and if what you think or hear is negative, don’t believe it

Bejan Daruwala. Charismatic. Unforgettable. Articulate. Devoted to Ganesha. Profoundly Knowledgeable. With an air of cuteness around him. I remember buying his Annual Astrological Forecast booklets in 1998 and then getting hooked into his deep intuitive insights about planets, transits and personality traits. Who inspired us all in his own unique way. And charmed us with his aura.

In 2004 I had the honour of working alongside him digitally on Times Astrospeak. It was such an honour to be featured on the same page as the man who was awarded “Astrologer of the Millenium” He was my “online neighbour” and a great one too. He inspired me to keep learning. And he showed me that an Astrological Reading does not have to be sombre or scary, he made his querent feel completely at ease and made them laugh with his unique wit and charm. And boy was he accurate.

Look what I found in one of his earlier forecasts for my sunsign.

“Living Life to the Fullest. You will go for a ride and an adventurous trip.”

Thank you Bejan Daruwalla. May the Gods give you eternal peace and happiness.

“A mad scramble’s about to take place.

What are you going to do?

Join in the screaming rush?

Or stand back and let the wave subside a little before you

take a step.

You can’t go back. That world barely exists.

You can’t take the fear, the anger and the pain with you.

Just drop the excess baggage.

Forgive. Let Go. Drop. Drop. Drop it all.

Time to unlearn. And relearn.

Adapt. Accept. Advance.

You can handle it. We all can. “

The upcoming energy shifts reveals a time for a reorientation to a new normal. And an internal evaluation of our own skills, abilities, mindsets and states of wellbeing will be required to adapt to a new way of living and functioning on this planet.

Find out if the upcoming energy shifts will help you or hinder you with a Tarot Report or Telephone Session. For details message me on mita.bhan@gmail.com/9810138315.

Compassion during Covid 19

12 Tuesday May 2020

At some level everyone is suffering. Whether it’s the loss of a loved one. Or a loss of a job. Or the incessant gnawing in the pit of the stomach. Covid 19 has affected all of us deeply. But the force that seems to be far stronger than the suffering is the acts of compassion displayed by people in uncertain times across the world.

Acts of sheer generosity. Acts of caring for the community. Acts of caring for the street animals. Kind words, actions and support in difficult times which have brought people closer, restored faith and made us all feel a little better. Going beyond yourself to offer help, support, encouragement, a hand helps in bringing in a sense of wellbeing.

Tara Parker-Pope author of the book “The Science of Helping Out” says, “During a crisis, the people who cope best are those who help others.” The act of giving makes us feel not only better but in a small yet significant way, it raises the positive vibrations in this world, especially now.

What kind of acts of compassion can you extend in the lockdown?

  • Sponsor meals for migrant workers.
  • Pay salaries to your part time helpers. Find out if they need anything and help them with food supplies.
  • Sponsor meals for street animals and animal sanctuaries.
  • Call a friend that you haven’t spoken to for a while
  • Tell a family member how much you love and appreciate them
  • Tell someone you know why you are thankful for them
  • Send a motivational text to a friend who is struggling
  • Send someone you know a joke to cheer them up
  • Reach out to call a friend, family member or neighbour who is experiencing loneliness or self-isolation
  • Donate to a charity.
  • Lend your ear – call a colleague and ask how they’re finding the change in routine
  • Donate to foodbanks
  • Offer to send someone a takeaway or a meal.

Thank you so much for supporting my Monthly Tarot Forecasts with your feedback and suggestions. Do share the forecast with your friends and family. For telephonic readings/email reports and select personalised readings message 9810138315/mita.bhan@gmail.com for details. If you would like to copy an excerpt or the whole reading kindly provide a link to this page.

Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

A little progress is still progress. Time to just move in the direction you have chosen but expect the journey to be delayed a little. Wounds have healed and and you’ve left the bygones behind. Groups, associations and alliances especially new ones will be beneficial in the long run, so if you aren’t networking in your circles, start clicking on the keyboard now. An old flame may reconnect but don’t go back out of loneliness or boredom.

Taurus (Apr 20- May 20)

When you look back you understand, the little things aren’t so little. Cherish the memories and the connections. A call from overseas will lift your spirits and bring in some peace. Doing what you love the most could become a source of income. Open your mind to short term assignments and an opportunity to showcase your talents. A good month to reflect and restart.

Gemini (May 21 – June 20)

You’ve made it this far, so why give up now? You may be tempted to walk out of a dead end relationship or a job that’s beginning to bore you, but don’t. A time to reconfigure yourself literally, the cards urge you to focus on your strengths. Great courage will be required along with patience to get going. The rewards are worth it, but for the time being, this is a month for rolling up your sleeves and just working. You’re half way to attaining your dreams. Just don’t quit now.

Cancer (June 21 – July 22)

The right contacts will open the right doors. A good month for reaching out to new people in your circle. Business ideas, discussions, meetings may take centre stage as plans are put down for the future. Be bold and more assertive than you usually are. Anxieties slowly begin to lessen as you discover new opportunities. Singles may find themselves attracted to someone who’s not usually your type. Open your mind.

Leo (July 23- Aug 22)

Even though you may be ready and raring to go, others will hold you back. An opportunity fizzles out and you may feel like you’re being prevented from moving forward with your plans. Hold on, things will get better, but only after you learn the lesson of patience and cooperation. Energy levels may dip a little so make sure you eat right and healthy. On the personal front, a misunderstanding is cleared with a loved one.

Virgo (Aug 23- Sept 22)

You’ve changed and you begin to realise it in your reactions to people and circumstances. You are no longer bothered by old irritants, and instead start to maintain a more balanced and detached view of life. A good month to sort out your finances with a long term view and organise paperwork. And on the personal front a friendship may turn into something serious.

Libra (Sept 23- Oct 22)

Are you looking at things as they really are or your emotions clouding the issue? Tempers run high as things don’t go according to plan. Before you lash out, take a few deep breaths and ask yourself if it’s truly worth it. A coworker may cause misunderstandings and honesty would be the best policy to clear up the mess. It’s time to change something in your life, once and for all, especially if it’s peace of mind you seek.

Scorpio (Oct 23- Nov21)

A past project gets suddenly renewed. Something that was on hold re-emerges. An old friendship is rekindled. It’s all about momentum in the weeks ahead and you may find yourself multitasking again. Though a part of you will enjoy the sudden bursts of activity, your heart won’t be in it. You may long to be somewhere else. Or with someone else. Watch your sleep routines and start working out again.

Saggitarius (Nov 22- Dec 21)

You may find yourself impatient to speed things up and settle a matter of concern. A busy month of calls and messages a part of you may be ready to settle down with the right person, but don’t pressure them to marry if they’re asking for some more time. Legal matters may cause frustrations but if you’re resourceful or seek a second opinion, expect sudden progress and a positive turn of events.

Capricorn (Dec 22-Jan19)

Your mind is brimming with ideas and you’re ready to learn. A good month for self improvement and enrichment. Deep within, you’re already beginning to feel like you’ve evolved. And people will notice your new aura. You may seriously consider a new source of business, or a start up and if you find the right allies, you could launch it before the end of the year. Make sure to do your research right and get all the contracts in place before time, it could save you a lot of bother later.

Aquarius (Jan 20- Feb 18)

When you focus on past losses, you only hurt yourself, or make yourself angry. Even if there’s confusion about why it happened, it’s pointless to dwell on the past. Time to rebuild and restart, piece by piece. And trust that things will be fine again. People may let you down with false promises, strive to be more self reliant and release grudges. A good month to bring in positive changes in your daily routine, and let go of relationships that do nothing but drain you.

Pisces (Feb 19- Mar20)

A new discovery about someone or something could raise the excitement levels. You will be grateful for a solution to a problem or unexpected help. God does work in mysterious ways and in the months to come you may find yourself blessed in more ways than one. As things perk up financially, don’t forget to acknowledge your loved ones. A special person may enter the scene for a short and sweet affair. Are you ready for another adventure?

One day a young Buddhist on his journey home came to the banks of a wide river. Staring hopelessly at the great obstacle in front of him, he pondered for hours on just how to cross such a wide barrier.

Just as he was about to give up his pursuit to continue his journey he saw a great teacher on the other side of the river. The young Buddhist yells over to the teacher, “Oh wise one, can you tell me how to get to the other side of this river”?

The teacher ponders for a moment looks up and down the river and yells back, “My son, you are on the other side”.

Hexagram Fu, I Ching, The Turning Point

The Pandemic has rocked our world.

There are days when it feels like a rollercoaster.

There are days when it feels like the Dead Sea.

And there are days when it’s all about walking

in a brand new pair of shoes.

Getting used to the fact that

there is a new beginning at hand.

Something has changed

Forever transformed. Forever altered.

And it’s a process that will keep happening .

Until we all go to a space where we were meant to be.

And it’s up to us to steer our course, through choppy waters

and swampland. By simply choosing to adapt to the sudden changes.

With an open mind and hope in our hearts.

Oracle Messages for all SunSigns in Lockdown

In uncertain times the present moment becomes even more powerful. When we take care of how we feel, think, or act today, we can be assured of a better tomorrow. And sometimes all we need is a little nudge or a message that connects and puts us back on track or assures us we’re on track.

Here’s what my Crystal Oracle had to say when I turned to it for some much needed clarity.

Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Practice the Pause. You’ll get all your answers during your me-time. And a slow realisation that you need to take control of something in your life. Could it be your finances? Or your health? Or your relationships?

Taurus (Apr 20- May 20)

Acknowledge the kindness of others. Remember those you take for granted. Cherish and value those who have given without expectation. Go beyond yourself. How can you bring a ray of sunshine into someone else’s life today?

Gemini (May 21 – June 20)

Slow doesn’t mean No. Something’s testing your patience. And something’s got to change. The good old days weren’t necessarily the most balanced days. Hang in there. Some changes happen in a flash. And some take their time.

Cancer (June 21 – July 22)

When you’re not happy with your self how can you be happy with others? Someone will always disappoint you or not meet up to your standards. Time to forgive all those who hurt you and yourself for all those who you hurt.

Leo (July 23- Aug 22)

Don’t think of it as loss. Look at it as a clearing space for the future. Minimise waste. Minimise damage. New beginnings can only take place after purging the old. Mother Earth reminds you to be more careful.

Virgo (Aug 23- Sept 22)

Kindred spirits are coming towards you. Will you reconnect with an old flame? Or find someone who feels like family? Or create something awesome with the power of brainstorming and respectful teamwork?

Libra (Sept 23- Oct 22)

The winds of change are blowing in your direction. Will you flow with the breeze or stand firmly against it. Believe you can and you will. Prepare yourself well and you’ll float right through the storms.

Scorpio (Oct 23- Nov21)

Flexibility is always a blessing. Whether it’s the feeling you get after a great Yoga class. Or whether you stop and truly listen and put yourself in someone else’s shoes. And understand them.

Saggitarius (Nov 22- Dec 21)

Be willing to forgive. Accept the apology. Even if the memory hurts you, it’s time to let it go and give the relationship another try. Some bonds are worth fighting for, some bonds just break away don’t they?

Capricorn (Dec 22-Jan19)

You are in charge of how you feel and where you are headed. Let others have their say, but do what you must and do what you feel is necessary. Don’t back down down, now your journey has just begun in the direction you wish to shine.

Aquarius (Jan 20- Feb 18)

Sometimes you need to dig out the compass and decide where you want to go. Trust your inner judgement, you are already learning who’s real and who’s fake and now you will be steered in another direction if you don’t pay attention.

Pisces (Feb 19- Mar20)

Open minds never get disappointed. Approach your journey like a child, everything is changing, everything is renewing. What would you like to keep with you, what do you think it’s time to leave behind.

Hurt First. Heal After

“I can’t understand how on earth I am healing when I’m in so much pain” the student asked her Teacher.

Image of Guru Rinpoche or Padmasambava.

With a stern expression and a deep husky voice the white haired Teacher answered.

“First it hurts you then it heals you”

“What is it?” she clenched her hands as a wave of pain gripped her.

“Old karma, repressed beliefs, trauma, fears. Everything you’ve buried in you for centuries. Don’t hold on to the pain memory. Let it go.”

“But what if the next pain hurts even more”

“Don’t let the fear of future pain paralyse you. You’ve survived this. You’ll survive the rest”

Teacher dusted his desk meticulously while the student pondered.

“How Do I Meditate as a Beginner?”

12 Sunday Apr 2020

Posted by in Meditation, Mita Bhan Writings, QuoraAnswer, QuoraAnswers

≈ Leave a comment

You are no longer a beginner when you decide to meditate. Something in you recognizes the need for inner peace. And you’ve cleared the first step to the most important journey you will ever make in your life.

However what follows is consciously making Meditation a part of your daily routine. Like brushing your teeth and hair. Like making your first cup of tea. Make time to meditate. Even if its for 5 minutes. Even if it’s for an hour. Set reminders.

Choose a technique that works for you. Explore different meditative techniques for at least a month and you will intuitively know which technique works for you. There are hundreds of ancient and contemporary techniques to choose from. I began with just focussing on my breath for months.

Don’t Quit. Keep going. There will be tough days, there will be easy days. Even after nearly 2 decades I still find it hard to stay still at times. But I remember the first step I took when I decided to meditate. And as any meditator will tell you, it will be the most memorable journey of your life.

All the best on your journey.
