it’s tuesday, august 17, & moon is scorpio, in the starspace called jyeshtha, until early afternoon, then moves into sagittarius, into the starspace called mula, but it’s not a seamless transition. scorpio is a water sign, sagittarius fire. no starry bridge eases the moon’s passage from water to fire—the luminary connected to our consciousness has to make an evel knievel-like leap from one to the other. so beware that your mind might feel a little destabilized during moon’s journey from the realm of deep emotions (scorpio) to vision & actions (sagittarius). this too will pass.
jyeshtha is ruled by indra, the firstborn of the gods, & brings the lesson of how being the eldest often comes with responsibility for younger siblings. but having power over others can go to our heads, keep us tethered to the spoils of the material world, as it did indra. mula is ruled by nirritti, an especially fierce form of kali, who brings the lesson of uprooting (mula = root) what doesn’t serve our highest purpose, including attachments of a material nature. how big a house do we really need? how many pairs of shoes? what are we expending our energy to acquire, stuff or truth?
it’s the tenth lunar day, the tenth phase of the waxing moon, which is also related to responsibility, in this case our dharma, whether we are in alignment with our inner light, our vision, our life’s purpose, truth with a capital T, or not. fulfilling our dharma = success in life.
tuesday is ruled by mars, who gives us our strength & courage, our discipline & ability to act. mars can be a hothead—he doesn’t want to talk about whatever might be bothering him, he just wants to do something. the problem with anger is keeping it bottled up so that we explode, do something or say something unintentionally & then have to deal with the unintended consequences. some of us may be feeling anger & frustration now. if that’s you, might i suggest releasing it before it wreaks havoc? take a baseball bat to some pillows & wail on them; go out into the woods & scream; turn the volume up to 11 on your favorite hardcore punk cd & jump & shout.
& that’s your daily bliss! which is a kind 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. may it inspire you to enlighten up a little more each day.
