Sagittarians, we know you like to travel. You wouldn’t be a Sagittarius sign individual if you didn’t. It’s part of your expansive and exploratory nature. And this is the time for you to make a spiritually romantic travel destination a reality of your life. So get ready to romance the essence of your soul, the still core of your body, and the freely wandering nature of your spirit. Lift your arms to the wind and the sky, fasten your seat belt and travel, by plane, ship or maybe best of all – mind, to the city of Lumbini, a peerless romantic travel destination, where the Enlightened One, Shakyamuni Buddha was born in 642 BC.
By all accounts, Lumbini was founded in November 864 BC. In the Buddha’s time, it was in Northern India, but now it’s part of Nepal, in the foothills of the sublime Himalaya Mountains.
Life, power, and passion course through the legendary gardens of Lumbini. Maya Devi, the mother of the Buddha, gave birth to him while she was resting under a Sal tree in the gardens. The temple of Maya Devi, which was built over the foundations of four earlier temples, has a sacred bathing pool known as Pukarni. Many believe that Maya Devi took a bath in the pool before giving birth to the Buddha. Nearby is a deep blue river called the “Ol” River. In 1996, an archaeological dig found a flawless stone in the river that was placed there by the Emperor Ashoka in 249 BC to mark the exact location of the Buddha’s birth.
Sagittarians, connect to your beloved natural world as you meander through the dark shrubs drinking in the melody of the night and watch as, from afar, the moon sails through the dark sky, nightingales sing and, in the distance the mighty “Ol” River glimmers.
It’s likely that you will stay, calm and spellbound, until the early hours of the morning, and then raising your head to the radiant dawn, your heart will be led by Lumbini’s centuries-old accumulation of wisdom and passion to focus as perhaps never before on the true knowledge of your heart’s desire.
Lumbini will repay your visit in heart gold and, long after your trip, its bell notes will linger in your Sagittarius soul like the joyful sounds of Lumbini’s night birds that sing you into sleep.
