The news cycle moves fast. People and their homes vanish in minutes. The observance of World Tsunami Awareness Day on November 5 reminds people how fast life can be transformed, and this is what we often forget to cherish while we have it.The Sun is in Scorpio, so today’s themes are serious ones.
Buddhist Quote of the Day : Dhammapada 235
You are like a dried leaf. The messengers of death are approaching. You are at the gate of leaving, and you have made no provision for the journey.The verse is straightforward. It urges people to prepare for the inevitable, and not to be afraid.
Change Happening Swiftly
Floods, tremors, and hurricanes confirm what Buddhist teachings state clearly. Life-changing events can come at any time. Nobody can know the day, and worrying will not alter anything.Neptune is retrograde in Aries, which can make the sense of safety feel vague. Feeling secure may be hard, but the practical steps are clear.
Prudent Preparations Are Needed
With Saturn retrograde in Aries, it is a good time to review basic safety routines. Make sure your home keeps a printed list of phone numbers, a torch with working batteries, and a family meeting point. People living close to the shore should learn about alarm signals and the route to higher ground.It should take no longer than one evening for a person to take action and stop worrying.
Pay Attention to the People You Have Around
Jupiter is in Leo, so appreciate people’s warmth and generosity. Say something nice today instead of saving it for some other time. Have a family gathering without using phones.Pluto, now direct in Aquarius, keeps slow change under way.
Being Compassionate When Bad Things Happen
When disaster strikes elsewhere, it’s better to provide help through a trustworthy organisation than to act on impulse.
