Conscious Astrology Navigating Tithi, Ashtami
Hi, welcome to Consciousness Podcasts.
In this season, we analyze the Hindu Vedic calendar system of Panchaanga
with respect to consciousness principles.
We continue with Tithi, the emotional body,
which plays a crucial role in understanding your emotional patterns
and personality traits throughout life.
Today, we explore Ashtami Tithi.
Let us begin.
Ashtami Tithi overview. What is Ashtami Tithi?
Ashtami is the eighth Tithi, Lunar phase of the waxing Shuklapaksha
or whining Krishnapaksha moon.
It occurs when the moon is 96 degrees ahead of the sun in the zodiac.
This Tithi represents intensity, transformation,
and the ability to balance opposing forces.
It is often considered a phase of inner strength and resilience
associated with navigating extremes and emerging more balanced.
Personality traits.
People born on Ashtami Tithi are diplomatic, balanced,
and often excellent negotiators.
They possess the ability to handle extremes in life,
be it emotional highs and lows, relationships, or financial matters.
Their calm, level-headed nature allows them to mediate conflicts effectively.
However, this balanced demeanor can also give rise to sarcasm
and hidden frustrations, which, if unaddressed, may create internal turmoil.
They tend to experience life's extremes,
often oscillating between abundance and scarcity, success, and setback.
Despite these ups and downs, Ashtami-born individuals
are generally able to maintain stability in their personal and married life,
although extramarital temptations may test their commitment.
Astrological Significance.
In a chart, Ashtami Tithi signifies the emotional need to find harmony amid polarities.
This Tithi represents the soul's ability to grow stronger
by embracing duality and finding peace within contradiction.
Ashtami-born individuals are naturally inclined toward transformation
and can emerge stronger from challenging life experiences
if they embrace balance and self-awareness.
Consciousness Principles for Navigating Ashtami.
One consciousness brings polarity back to neutrality.
Consciousness allows us to experience opposites, joy and sorrow, success and failure,
but finds peace and neutrality by not holding onto either extreme.
Application.
Ashtami individuals often find themselves navigating life's dualities.
Consciousness encourages them to avoid emotional entanglement
and instead find empowerment in neutrality.
Practice mindful detachment by observing emotions without immediately reacting to them.
Reflect on both successes and setbacks as temporary experiences
rather than permanent states.
Meditate on dualities, e.g. light and dark,
to reinforce the idea that opposing forces can be a key element of their life.
Dispensing forces can coexist without conflict.
Two. Consciousness Thrives in Transformation.
Consciousness expands by embracing transformation and growth
through change and adversity.
Application.
Ashtami-born individuals are often placed in circumstances that challenge their inner strength.
Consciousness invites them to view these moments not as punishments,
but as catalysts for growth and renewal.
Reflect on past challenges and identify ways they led to personal growth
or new beginnings.
Practice transformative journaling by documenting emotional lows
and reframing them as stepping stones for resilience.
Engage in symbolic rituals such as burning lists of worries or old fears
to signify emotional release and transformation.
Three. Consciousness balances action with stillness.
Consciousness finds power not only in action but also in stillness,
using reflection as a way to process and integrate life's experiences.
Four. Consciousness encourages mental level and
mental stability to be more powerful than ever before.
Consciousness reminds them that rest and reflection are equally important for maintaining balance.
Schedule regular pauses for quiet reflection or meditation to process emotions.
Practice mindful breathing during moments of heightened stress to center the mind.
Reframing rest as a vital part of success rather than as wasted time.
Four. Consciousness expands through emotional integrity.
Consciousness seeks authenticity in emotional expression
and does not suppress feelings for the sake of maintaining appearances.
Application. Ashtami born individuals may use sarcasm or humor as a defense mechanism
to mask deeper emotional pain.
Consciousness invites them to express their true feelings with honesty and vulnerability.
Engage in open conversations with trusted friends or partners
to express emotions directly. Practice journaling to give words to complex
emotions rather than resorting to humor or avoidance.
Develop self-compassion by reminding themselves that vulnerability is a form of strength,
not weakness. Suggested consciousness actions to overcome ashtami challenges.
One. Neutrality meditation. Visualize two opposing forces merging into a calm,
balanced state to reinforce emotional neutrality.
Three. Symbolic release rituals. Write down frustrations or fears and burn the paper to
symbolize emotional release and renewal.
Three. Pause and breathe practice. Incorporate three-minute breathing
exercises during stressful moments to maintain composure and balance.
Four. Authentic expression practice. Share one genuine feeling or thought daily with someone
trustworthy to build emotional integrity and connection.
By aligning with these consciousness-aligned actions, ashtami-born individuals can harness
their strength and resilience to navigate life's extremes with grace and balance.
This allows them to maintain harmony while embracing transformation,
turning life's challenges into opportunities for growth and self-discovery.
