it’s wednesday, april 7, & moon is in aquarius, in the starspace called dhanishtha. after the hardships of capricorn, the reality check of realizing that as mortals we suffer when we can’t get out of our own way, that we have inner obstacles to overcome, we develop compassion for ourselves, for our human condition, & then, so humbled, are empowered in aquarius as we realize that we are not special, it is not all just about us, that everyone has the same stuff to deal with, & we turn our compassion outward & outward & outward until it umbrellas all of humanity.
dhanishtha means “completely wealthy”—wealthy in body-mind-spirit. true wealth comes from living our values righteously—by being our word & living it through compassionate actions. how wealthy are you feeling today? how can you increase your spiritual net worth?
it’s the eleventh phase of the waning moon, which supports practices that connect us to god, however you define that term or whatever term you use to define the ineffable, the mysterious wisdom that informs our life. meditation & prayer are two ways to connect. setting an intention before meditating, praying for something, is one way to combine the two. but rather than asking for what we think we want, which is so limited, we might ask to be more how we want to be, which is limitless. b/c the possibilities are infinite when we, say, ask to be more open-hearted & become more so.
wednesday is mercury’s day, & he wants us to explore & share ideas, be intelligently discriminating, & do so joyfully, playfully. with mercury in pisces now, we may feel logic (airy mercury) diluted by imagination (watery pisces). which isn’t necessarily a bad thing—sometimes what we want to say defies logic, may even need to. we may need to get out of our heads to be able to express our thoughts, shift from the limits of our left brain to the unlimits of the right. as alan watts said, “to go our of your mind”—by which he surely meant the thinking mind—”at least once a day is tremendously important, b/c by going out of your mind you come to your senses.” try it & see if you don’t agree!
& that’s your daily bliss! which is a kind of lunar weather report. it is my hope that the daily bliss can help you align with the day’s cosmic energy & find a little more bliss; that it inspires you to enlighten up a little more each day.
