Mukta – slackened

«The desire of living-liberated men (jivan-muktas), is not properly any desire at all, since it is the pure desire relating to universal weal and happiness.» (Yoga-vasistha,3.22.5).

A mukta is a man who has achieved spiritual realization and thus freed himself from suffering by exiting the cycle of rebirth. The word mukta in a broader and more common sense means “relaxed” and “loose”too. Since the realization is the highest degree of emancipation, a relaxed man is an emancipated man.

You start the month with difficulty, Scorpio, but towards the end you can relax, even if you will only be able to do only a part of what you had in mind, as if everything went slowly. Not bad, it means it’s time to slow down.
