asherisLIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22):
Mantras are spiritually potent phrases that are supposed to purify and uplift those who chant them. The magic is said to work even if the devotee doesn't understand the words. So for example it's not necessary to know that the Sanskrit "Om Namaha Shivaya" is sometimes translated as "I honor the Divine within" or "Salutations to that which I am capable of becoming." With all due respect to the ancient tradition, I propose that we expand the concept by creating mantras in our native tongues. Here's one that's a perfect fit for your current astrological needs, Libra: "It's finally my turn, dammit." I urge you to speak, whisper, or bellow that mantra hundreds of times in the coming week, preferably in conjunction with "Om Namaha Shivaya." Use these words of power to build up your confidence that it's high time for you to claim your fair share.
Damn straight, it's my turn!
