As always, I love your posts especially as a guide and reminder to this time of year. Did you know that this is also the time to celebrate Stella Maris? I am only now meeting this name of Mary | Divine Mother and it now seems not such coincidence that the Star of the Waters is celebrated during this time. I write this as a real-time realization and maybe some of your readers have insights to what I am saying.Thank you Juliana! ✨🌊

Thank you, dear Kate, for your kind support and feedback. I believe that the Way of the Rose celebrates Stella Maris from September 19-27 every year, and the Feast Day of Stella Maris in the Catholic Church is September 27. The Pitru Paksha is calculated according to the Vedic lunar calendar and it changes every year. Last year it went from September 29 to October 14. Next year it will be from September 7-21! But anyway, let all these beautiful celebrations begin!!! xoxoxoxo

Yes, the Way of the Rose, is where the rabbit hole began. And this is a good reminder that the Catholic calendar is static and Vedic is lunar, and I just might be walking into a wink with the overlap. Thanks for the illumination!
