It’s the Shivaratri Indian festival today, and there’s a Solar Eclipse today/tomorrow – we pulled this card – Kali – from the ‘Goddess guidance’ oracle card deck by Doreen Virtue today – and it sounds *very* fitting with what’s going on!

Some general info on Shivaratri:
[…] Maha Shivaratri is a Hindu festival celebrated annually in reverence of the God Shiva. It is believed to be the day Shiva saved the universe by drinking “haalaahala” the poison that emerged from the churning of the ocean (samudra manthana). While most Indian festivals are celebrated during the day, Shivaratri is celebrated during the night by keeping a “jaagaran” – a night-long vigil as its believed that Lord Shiva saved the universe from darkness and ignorance. This day is also believed to be the day that Shiva was married to the Goddess Parvati. […] source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maha_Shivaratri
Also note that Kali represent’s Shiva’s Shakti – or energy – which can only manifest itself if rooted in its source. In other words, Shiva without Kali is powerless; it’s Kali that propels him into his next cycle of renewal and growth.
