it’s monday, august 10, & moon is moving into the starspace called bharani, which occupies a sky-slice of aries. in the environment of aries, we begin, or begin again. as hope jahren writes in “lab girl” (highly recommend!), “each beginning is the end of a waiting.” just like each seed that does or doesn’t become the tree or plant it was designed to be, “we are each given exactly one chance to be. each of us is both impossible & inevitable.” what/who are you waiting to be, waiting to create? as she writes:
“when the embryo within a seed starts to grow, it basically just stretches out of its doubled-over waiting posture, elongating into official ownership of the form that it assumed years ago. the hard coat that surrounds a peach pit, a sesame or mustard seed, or a walnut’s shell mostly exists to prevent this expansion. in the laboratory, we simply scratch the hard coat & add a little water & it’s enough to make almost any seed grow. i must have cracked thousands of seeds over the years, & yet the next day’s green never fails to amaze me. something so hard can be so easy if you just have a little help. in the right place, under the right conditions, you can finally stretch out into what you’re supposed to be.”
how can you create the right conditions so that you can finally stretch into all that you can be? how can you crack the code of your protective layer?
bharani invites us to both bear the results of previous efforts & to cherish, nourish, incubate new ideas & thoughts, to create anew, to grow that peach pit into a magnificent tree that produces succulent fruit for all to enjoy, that expands into all it was meant to be.
today is the seventh lunar day, which is associated with lord indra. it’s a good day to feel your kingly- or queenly-ness, to survey your realm, but with a sense of humility, a sense of awe.
monday is the moon’s day, so we are invited to feeeeeeeeeeel.
& that’s your daily bliss! which is a kind of lunar weather report. the moon is our consciousness & i hope that by unpacking the cosmic forces influencing it every day, you’ll be better able to understand & thus lean into its ever-changing vibrations & use them to your advantage.
