Kalpanāśakti – the power of forming ideas

«Name, universal and all the rest are connected by the said conceptual content; hence what is spoken of (by Diṅnāga’s definition) is the same conceptual content which has been described as ‘the idea associated with verbal expression’» (Tattvasangraha, 1223).

According to the dictionary the kalpanāśakti is: «the power to form ideal images or schemes, devices, ways, exciting ghosts: the faculty of imagination or invention». Kalpana is the thought, the idea, the imagination.

If you have any ideas in mind, Scorpio, now is the right time to take action in order to put them into practice. Get informed, study, plan, contact those in charge and finally associate it with a verbal and then material expression. With your birthday approaching at the end of the month, you may already see if not the fruits, possibilities and doors that open.
