Translation

When the moon, the sun and Bṛhaspati simultaneously enter the constellation Puṣyā in Karkaṭa sign, Satya-yuga will begin. This verse describes the beginning of Satya-yuga. Tiṣya means Puṣya constellation. Jupiter enters Cancer sign every twelve years (staying there for approximately a year) and during that time it is possible for two or three dark moons (conjunction of sun and moon) to conjoin with Jupiter. However, when all three planets enter Puṣya simultaneously, Satya-yuga begins.

Personal Guidance

Bhāgavatam pinpoints even the astronomical moment when Satya-yuga begins. The Lord's plan is exact; nothing is random. A reader takes courage that the same precision watches over one's own life and timing.

Reflection Questions

Where am I telling myself my situation is random and unfair?
What changes when I trust that even my timing is held by Him?
