Manjushri – Tibetan Buddhist Deity

Manjushri is the Bodhisattva in Mahayana Buddhism who is associated with Wisdom, knowledge and intelligence. He is the one who bestows wisdom and clarity of mind on practitioners who rely on him. While Manjushri is a fully enlightened Buddha, he chose to remain a Bodhisattva with the motivation to release all sentient beings from suffering.

He is often depicted with a flaming sword in his right hand, which represents his ability to cut through ignorance and delusion, and a book in his left hand, which represents his knowledge of the Dharma.  

Practitioners often recite Manjushri’s mantra, “Om A Ra Pa Ca Na Dhih,” to invoke his blessings and to cultivate wisdom and understanding in themselves. Manjushri is also associated with the concept of skillful means, which is the ability to use wisdom and compassion to guide others towards enlightenment.  

In summary, Manjushri is an important figure in Mahayana Buddhism, representing wisdom, knowledge, intelligence, and skillful means. His practice is believed to be beneficial for overcoming ignorance, developing clarity of mind, and for achieving spiritual awakening.

Astrology
Natal astrology: This is the most common type of astrology, and it involves drawing up a horoscope for the time of a person’s birth. Natal astrology is often used to try to predict a person’s future or to understand their personality.  

Horary astrology: This type of astrology is used to answer a specific question. The horoscope is drawn up for the time when the astrologer is asked the question, and the positions of the planets at that time are used to interpret the answer.  

Western astrology: This system is based on the tropical zodiac, which is divided into 12 signs based on the seasons. Western astrology uses planets, signs, houses, and aspects (angles between planets) to interpret a horoscope.  

Tibetan astrology: This system combines elements from Indian and Chinese astrology. From India, it takes the planets, signs, houses, and yogas (combinations). From China, it takes the system of elemental divination, which includes the five elemental transformations, 12 animals, eight trigrams, nine numbers, and other cycles.
