Being able to differentiate between the meaning you give words makes for a less reactionary state of being. It can be helpful to take stock of this in order to become more mindful of the way you perceive life and others. The meaning you give to certain words reveals a lot about the way you view reality. Observe and try to understand your reactions to words that instill an emotional reaction in you in order to find more space for understanding. It’s time to explore the meaning you attribute to certain words. However, when you read the word “table,” that has meaning. What is the meaning of the table? It has no inherent meaning.

The mental body consists of thoughts, emotions, and sensory input. When Venus and Uranus are stationed in the same sign, our focus on the mental body, or manomaya kosha, is heightened.
