May 12, 2019 is Mother's Day in America. On this day, Moon will be in Leo in Magha Nakshatra and transiting the 5th house of children & creativity.
Moon represents mother in Vedic Astrology. Wherever Moon is placed in your natal chart is where the qualities of your mother and your relationship with her can be seen. Also, depending on your Lagna, Moon will rule a certain house in your chart wherever Cancer is placed.
This Mother's Day , Moon will be in the sign of Leo which is ruled by the Sun. The day itself, Sunday, is also ruled by the Sun. This signifies the perfect chance to shine a light on your Mother and everything she signifies in your life.
Moon will also be transiting into Magha Nakshatra whose symbol is the royal throne. When we think of royalty, family lineage comes to mind. What a perfect placement of Moon, which represents your mother, to be in on her special day. You would not be on this earth if it were not for your mother, and her mother, and her mother and so on. Take the time today to celebrate your mother and her lineage that is an integral part of your entire existence.
Moon will also be in the 5th house at sunrise. 5th house represents children and creativity. When a mother has her 1st born child, the 5th house becomes activated in her chart. The sign ruling her 5th house will show the themes that will play out. For instance, if Capricorn rules her 5th house, her first born will activate fame, reputation & status, even career. Why? Because Capricorn is the original ruler of the 10th house in which those things are represented.
Below are 10 ways to celebrate your Mother inspired by Vedic Astrology. ( 10 because Magha is the 10th Nakshatra )
1. Create a family tree of your mother's lineage and present it as a gift. This is also a great remedy for whenever Moon transits Magha.
2. Channel the generous qualities of Leo and treat your Mother like royalty today. Wait on here hand and foot!
3. Using the creative energy of Leo, draw or paint something as a gift.
4. Magha inspires musical tendencies, take Mom to a see some live music or sing her a song!
5. If you know your mom's birth time, order her a natal chart from Lunarpersuasion.com. There are certain divisional charts that allow you to see past lineage!
6. 5th house represents having fun. Take your mom somewhere she's never been or play a game and just have fun.
7. Spend time with your mother and ask her questions about her memories as a child and her mother. Magha is all about celebrating your ancestors.
8. It is a great time for settling disputes during Magha Nakshatra, if you are fighting with your mom, try to reconcile by looking into your self and learning what you can do to make things better. This will take some effort since Mercury (communication) will be in Aires and Mars (anger) will be in Gemini.
9. Chant "Om Gham" 108 times together with your mom.
10. Thank your mom for all she does and has done and will do! Showing gratitude towards your ancestors is extremely auspicious during the Moon's transit through Magha
If you are like me and your mother has passed, celebrate your mother's life by having a dinner or get together with your family or simply sit in a quite place and think about her and how grateful you are for her bringing you into this world. Remember, the goal here is to show gratitude towards your ancestors today.
These may seem like simple ideas, but like I always say, it's the little things that matter!
Hope you have a wonderful Mothers Day!
