Nourish Your Wisdom Body: Mercury Cazimi Sun Dates To Save
When Mercury is ‘cazimi’ it’s a day in astrology that is wonderful for nourishing our wisdom body. There are specific dates I mark on my calendar to give extra attention to this, so I thought I'd share this one with you as well. Firstly the wisdom body (also known as Vijnanamaya Kosha) is one of the ‘invisible’ sheaths or subtle bodies that is an important part of our spiritual anatomy related to our discernment, intuition, and higher intelligence.
The reason why it’s a good day to tune into the wisdom body is because of an astrological placement that happens a few times of year where the planet Mercury meets the sun (this meeting is known as cazimi).
Cazimi is an astrological term that is used to refer to planets that are so close to a conjunction with the Sun that they are "in the heart" of the Sun.
When the planet Mercury is mid way through it’s retrograde it meets the Sun in this way. So in the heart of every Mercury Retrograde we are gifted with this day to be really open to insight and inner wisdom.
Why?
Well because the Sun represents Consciousness and Light in us. The Sun IS Consciousness and Light.
Mercury being the closest planet to the Sun is said to be the messenger and helps us to receive and translate information from the Sun.
So when Mercury is in the ‘heart’ of the Sun there is an opportunity for a deep receiving of wisdom, light and consciousness. That is because everything is astrology follows the hermetic principles of “as above so below, as within so without”.
This is a great day to create some space for inner wisdom and intuition to land - when our mind is busy it’s harder for that information to come through.
This is an important part of Spiritual Nutrition - nourishing our wisdom body by taking the time and making space for the “unseen” intuition, wisdom and higher intelligence to land and be integrated into our lives.
Here’s some tips to make the most of this day. Normally Mercury energy is very busy, thinking rapidly. However this is a day to RECEIVE wisdom (the glyph of Mercury has antenna to pick up information!!)…
Make time for meditation and journalling
Practice “Pratibha” where you ask a question and listen for the answer
Free journal - see what flows through you
Notice what ideas, themes or intuitions land on this day, they will be a clue for the continuation of energy during the next Mercury cycle (which starts at the cazimi)
It’s also a great day to remember your dreams and write them down!!
