STELLAR REGIONS
By Swami Namakirtanananda
(Mary Whitney)

     Your lifestyle is your general pattern of living. It is a collected series of moments that gives the overview of your values.

     The planets suggest a variety of lifestyles. Perhaps one in particular seems right for you.

     Moon - A lifestyle of caring for others; nurturing as a parent, friend, spouse or partner. You may wish to look within to understand how you may help those around you, and become aware that people tend to live their lives based on their emotions. Maybe you can help them to pierce through the veil of those emotions to enable them to see themselves more clearly. You may be able to add insight to their subjective universe, so that a new way of perceiving their issues, problems, and foibles brings them more liberation.

     Mercury - This is a lifestyle based upon what you have read and studied, and gleaned or digested from that study. You may value teaching or writing and have decided to share in this way. You trust that what others have come to understand as truth can direct you to find your own code of ethics, honesty and contentment. It is bringing the mind to a point of shining clarity and breathing life into that crystalline moment so that it can guide your day to day life until you become a luminous beacon to others.

     Venus - Simply love. Love and accept your world, including the people, animals, and minerals that inhabit it. Do not forget to accept yourself and pour some love into your own mind and body. Open the heart; it is a worthwhile lifestyle that precludes being judgmental. There is a beauty in understanding that everyone is doing the absolute best they can in any and every circumstance. This awareness brings contentment and gives a serenity that permeates your every waking moment - your lifestyle.

     Sun - Be a leader, take a stand, based upon what you believe in and what you feel is important. What would you like to impart to others? How would you like to help them? Try to take responsibility to learn how to do the things you will need in order to help. This is the path of the doer, the person who has the natural ability to inspire others. Yet the lifestyle works best if the ego is kept in check and the life force is used for the betterment of those you wish to serve.

     Mars - This is the lifestyle of action, of the hero. The hero can be male, female, and of any age. It brings the state of self-awareness that enables you to show courage for another, and allows you to know that your strength is made stronger by helping someone with it. You are exercising your strength to aid others, but taking action according to your own standards. Yes, the hero must be true to the inner self, then she or he can ascend the mountain to conquer the next karmic battle within

     Jupiter - This is the lifestyle of expansive consciousness, and it incorporates a lot of humor. Humor is the panacea; it helps you to take your concerns and problems more lightly. It means that you are detached, if humor can gently be brought into all of life's dusty corners - the dusty corners of the mind. Laughter can vacuum that dust away! You are using an optimistic outlook if humor is part of your life. It seeps into your everyday world and becomes your style of life!

     Saturn - The lifestyle of responsibility. Everyone has a dharma, the duty that they feel they need to fulfill on this earth. Only you can take on what you feel you should in the realm of responsibility, which is why it is your dharma. But to fulfill it brings the joy of satisfaction, the knowing that what you are doing is right. Being responsible for yourself and for the others in your orbit is living a lifestyle of commitment, and service should then come very easily. Ultimately you are serving the universe and that style of living benefits others, but also serves your Reality within.

     Uranus - This is a lifestyle of freedom as a constant quest. If you can find it, share it and allow others to be free as well. If you strive for freedom, but have not seemed to find it, it is best to introduce some discipline in the area in which you wish to be liberated. Once you can contain and limit yourself a bit, you can discover your dream and fly with it!

     Neptune - Neptune's way is living a daily life with beauty as a theme, and inspiration as a mode of spiritual insight and growth. By making your reveries and ideas practical, chances are you will inspire others and the feeling of upliftment will resonate even more strongly within you.

     Pluto - This is finding the path to rejuvenation. What do you need to get rid of? By letting go of all that you deem to be no longer necessary in your life, you can rise up to a new you. Rise up to your potential; do not fear it, but rather become it. You may find that there is a group of people who share your views and who wish to find the regeneration too. Do it together!
