Gati – motion

«(Samyama) On the polar star, knowledge of their movement» (Yoga-sūtra, 3.28).

In Indian grammar the word gati indicates movement, that is, the lengthening of a syllable. In the same context it is used in the sense of “understanding”, “realization”. In jyotisha (astronomy and astrology) gati is the term used for the motion of the planets. In general, gati is movement, moving, moving forward.

There are many things you want, Aquarius, but you still have some doubts about their validity. Continue on your way, pondering everything carefully so as not to waste energy and you will see that from the middle of the month you will begin to see if not the fruits, at least the movement that your actions begin to create. If you focus on what is going on, you will have “knowledge of their movement” and finally something that you have been carrying for a long time, something karmic perhaps, will begin to find its resolution.
