AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

What spiritual significance does the planetary parade have๐Ÿ™‚ ?

From the occult point of view it means that certain forces that govern our life are coming together and aligning themselves. It is likely to have a beneficial cosmic influence but hardly any spiritual significance. Spiritual consciousness rises way beyond these forces that still belong to the realm of ignorance. As long as we remain tied to the Ignorance they affect and influence us but the moment we start our journey towards the deeper spiritual reality, towards the Divine who is the Master of all, they begin to lose their hold and influence upon us.

Affectionately,
