daily blissit’s wednesday, august 14, & moon is in capricorn, where it’s going to be full full full later tonight. the new moon starts the monthly lunar cycle, sets the tone, the emotional groundwork; the full moon brings balance, the counter action. so, for example, the new moon in cancer on august 1 invited us to focus on family & home, to feel into our emotional connection to those things; the full moon in capricorn does a 180, inviting us to balance that “other” focus by dealing with our personal crap in relation to family & home & doing so with discipline, by using our heads more than our hearts. altho, sure, yeah, do be loving about it, always be loving—with yourself & others!

moon is in the starspace called shravana, the asterism of deeeeeeep listening, of not just hearing but of listening not just to words themselves, but to the space between them, to what’s unsaid. sometimes we have to hear twice in order to really listen, ask someone to repeat themselves. i mean, i can’t tell you how many times i have, say, asked a person their name, only for it to go in one ear & out the other, how many times i haven’t really listened, absorbed. sometimes—or is it just me?!—we just have to ask the other person to say it again to make sure we got it, that we get it. b/c if we don’t, there is no real communication & without real communication there can be no intimacy, no real connection. & we are here to connect & to understand, in the depths of our souls, that we are all connected, that there is no separation between us & others, between us & [choose your fave word for the experience of god here].

the 15th lunar day brings the full moon, so you may be full to bursting emotionally. what can you let go of? can you release without judging first? full moons (& new moons) are perfect occasions for a timeout, to meditate, which allows you to listen deeeeeeply, observe what needs to go.

& that’s your daily bliss—mercury owns wednesday & wants to communicate, wants to use his words, but make sure that you are truly communicating, which involves listening & using your words consciously, intentionally, wisely.
