daily bliss

it’s monday, august 17, & moon is in the starspace called pushya, which occupies a sky-slice of cancer. cancer is where we feel into our unconditionally loving nature, where we give without expecting anything in return, where we accept & don’t judge, the way a mother, ideally, relates to her children. lean into less judgment, more acceptance today.

pushya is the nourisher & is represented by breasts or a cow’s udders, both of which nurture offspring. the cow is revered in india as a symbol of motherhood & fertility, the representation of shakti, the divine feminine, the essence of goddess energy, which has the power to provide whatever is required. the more a human or cow baby suckles, the more milk is produced—there seems to be an endless supply. the mother trusts that she will always have milk to give. how can you give with ease & abundance, knowing that you are the unlimited source of all? do you trust that it’s always safe to give freely as your heart guides?

it’s the fourteenth phase of the waning moon, which means we have one more day before the dark moon, one more day to release release release so we can build build build. what can you, what do you want to, release? what do you want to create, to build, during the waxing phase of the moon? what are you clinging to that’s keeping you from feeling free? always good to ponder—you don’t have to wait for a new moon!

“letting go gives us freedom, & freedom is the only condition for happiness. if, in our heart, we still cling to anything—anger, anxiety or possessions—we cannot be free.” —thich nhat hanh

monday is owned by the moon, who is the emotional body, & b/c moon is in cancer, which is ruled by the moon, you may be feeling especially connected, or, um, overconnected emotionally today. make sure that the emotions you’re feeling are yours, not someone else’s, that you don’t become a sponge for someone else’s drama.

& 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.
