it’s tuesday, april 2, & moon moves from sagittarius into capricorn late afternoon MDT while being supported & transported by the starspace called uttarashadha, but will be in purvashadha until late morning. got that moving around of the cosmic puzzle pieces? so we get most of the day to be in the vibration of jupiter-ruled sag, where we get to take stock of our beliefs & how they hold up in the world, whether they are facilitating the reality we want to create, whether the facts actually support them. sag is also where our belief in something bigger than ourselves creates a container in which we can explore our greater purpose, feel inspired to do so. then, in saturn-ruled capricorn, we can deal with implementing the practical aspects.
purvashadha (where moon has been since late morning yesterday but i was too distracted by kali’s aspect as niritti to mention—hey, can’t help it, i’m a kali grrrlll!) & uttarashadha are, as you might suspect, related. purvashadha means “former victory” & puts us in the race, uttarashadha “latter victory” & gets us across the finish line. the victor/race is bringing to fruition that thing inside us that is dying to be born, see the light of day before we leave this planet. sometimes what prevents us from birthing that thing is our attachment to our identity, to the label we’ve hung on ourselves, but, as alan watts said, “you are under no obligation to be the same person you were five minutes ago.”
it’s the eighth lunar day (tithi), the eighth phase of the waning moon, until just after this gets posted, then the ninth. the eighth supports balancing light & dark (how’d that go yesterday? i was all over it!), the ninth rooting into the dark recesses of our psyche & shining the light there, turning negativity into wisdom by looking it in the face. whether negativity takes the form of people, emotions, situations, doubts or fears, it serves a purpose & we can end its service & move on by getting the lesson. what lesson do you get to learn today? what’s ready to go so you can move forward? what might open up for you as a result?
tuesday is owned by mars, who gives us the courage to fight the good fight, which is, ultimately & ideally, with our own inner enemies (which, um, live in the nooks & crannies of our psyche!) rather than making other people out to be our enemies.
& that’s your daily bliss! which is a sort of lunar weather report. may it allow you to align with the day’s cosmic energy so you can find & create a little more bliss.
