Today holds profound significance as it marks the arrival of the full moon in Libra, coinciding with a lunar eclipse. With the Earth positioned between the sun and the moon, a shadow will be cast upon the moon's surface, dimming its luminosity at varying times depending on one's location in the world. Additionally, today is the Hindu festival of colors, which aligns with the final full moon of the year according to the ancient Vikrami calendar. This festival celebrates the onset of spring, the triumph over evils, and fertility. Concurrently, it is Holy Monday in the Christian tradition, commemorating the day when Jesus cleansed the temple of Jerusalem—an act of purification and renewal in the run-up to Easter. Amidst these symbolically and culturally significant events that culminate today, let us strive for balance in our lives and contemplate the phenomena in the cosmos and in our hearts unfolding before us.
