Sept 14 – Ganesha Chaturthi
If you’re at an impasse or caught in a loop, stop and consider another way through. It’s the 4th day of the waxing moon of Bhadrapada— the auspicious day of Lord Ganesh, the elephant-headed god of wisdom and good fortune, and the remover of obstacles. Beloved of Goddess Parvati in all her , Lord Ganesha clears the path for new life on Earth.
Even in the face of insurmountable trouble and strife, Lord Ganesha brings a good outcome.
Ganesha means “lord of the ganas”, the nature spirits that enliven human imagination and inspire divine intelligence and intuition. He expands consciousness and allows what seems impossible to be possible.
Though he is enormous, he rides a tiny mouse.
Though he has the head of an animal, he is wiser than humankind.
Though he is the cause of obstacles, he is also the remover of them.
And though his day is auspicious, it’s said to be bad luck to look at this crescent moon!
Avoid moon sightings today. (Moonsets 8-9:00 pm tonight, depending on location.)
