Universal – In this kaleidoscopic week, inspired by the enigmatic Yayoi Kusama, we stand on the precipice of infinite possibilities. As the cosmos unfurls its tapestry, we find ourselves in the celestial embrace of a glorious New Moon in Virgo on Thursday & Friday, (depending on your timezone) a cosmic invitation to embark on a journey of self discovery.
With just one polka dot, nothing can be achieved. In the universe, there is the sun, the moon, the earth, and hundreds of millions of stars. All of us live in the unfathomable mystery and infinitude of the universe. Pursuing ‘philosophy of the universe’ through art under such circumstances has led me to what I call ‘stereotypical repetition.” – Yayoi Kusama
This glorious New Moon is one of the luckiest New Moons this year. It urges us to break free from the rigidity of our routines and to ponder how we can shape the next chapter of our existence. Mercury, still in retrograde, serves as our cosmic confidant, guiding us in reflecting on the dormant dreams that lie within, waiting to bloom.
As we plant the seeds of intention, they shall bloom into tangible reality, unveiling their realistic results by the corresponding Full Moon in February, next year. Our vision boards become our sacred scrolls, and to-do lists our maps to uncharted territories. Saturn, the
cosmic guardian of discipline and maturity, opposes the ruler of this New Moon, empowering us to take pragmatic strides toward our aspirations.
The universe will shower us with positivity and delightful surprises during this lunar dance, so take action. Virgo’s meticulous nature invites us to delve into the details, perfecting our visions with patience as our guiding star. In this cosmic symphony, remember that actions speak louder than words, though communication remains vital for sharing desires and seeking support from our cosmic comrades. Believe that persistent devotion to detail can manifest miracles.
“I have a flood of ideas in my mind. I just follow my vision.” – Yayoi Kusama
On Friday, Mercury, the messenger, finally turns direct! Rejoice, for the haze of communication mishaps lifts, bringing an end to the delays and misunderstandings that have plagued us. We only have one last Mercury Retrograde left this year which will be in December, enjoy the forward motion the next weeks and try to get everything done before December.
Saturday is birthing the promise of delightful earthly pleasures. Speak your ego’s desires but temper it with humility, for a balanced ego shall lead to revelations and unanticipated joys. This cosmic alignment of the Sun and Uranus encourages us to disrupt our routines and silence the chatter of over-analysis.
However, on Sunday, a sense of grandeur may overtake us, and greed may whisper in our ears. Beware of overindulgence and reckless spending, for the Sunday hangover may be less euphoric than anticipated.
In the realm of Yayoi Kusama’s infinite dots, let us find balance between ambition and humility, between dreams and reality. As we navigate this cosmic week, may we heed the whispers of the stars and, like Kusama herself, turn the infinite canvas of our universe into a masterpiece of our own making.
