Rosh Hashana (Jewish)
Malkuth
Themes: Forgiveness; Cleansing; Health; Peace; Earth; Balance
Symbols: Yellow-colored Items; Quartz; Cereals and Grains; the Number 10
About Malkuth: Malkuth is the goddess of the tenth sephira in the Cabalistic Tree of Life. Here she reminds us of the need for positive actions on the physical plane, not simply good thoughts or lofty words, to bring about change. Malkuth also counsels us to always balance our goddess spirituality with real life and to keep peace with the earth, which she personifies.
To Do Today: This is the Jewish new year and typically a time for prayer, introspection, and healing the emotional wounds that keep people apart. Take ten minutes out of your morning routine and pray to the goddess or meditate on recent months. This will give you time to begin integrating all the lessons and changes that have occurred.
Jumping into or over water today liberates you from sin and negativity, as does naming a handful of grain after your problems and tossing it in water. Eating a round loaf of bread dipped in honey bring longevity, and eating apples dipped in honey brings the sweetness of Malkuth's health.
To encourage Malkuth's balance and harmony throughout your day, wear something yellow or carry a yellow-colored stone or a piece of quartz with you. The quartz in particular engenders better communication skills and an improved connection with the earth/physical plane.
