Bhagamālinī

This chapter opens on the Dvitīyā tithi — the day of Bhagamālinī, she who establishes what the first desire has set in motion. Her name, Garlanded with the Six Glories, names the six divine attributes of sovereignty — lordship, strength, glory, splendor, knowledge, renunciation — as aspects of what becomes stable when desire is held clearly. The financial teaching of this tithi is stability: not rigidity, but the capacity to hold a course through the natural fluctuations of the market, the month, the mood.
