it’s wednesday, august 18, & moon is in sagittarius, in the starspace called mula until just after noon mountain time, then purvashadha. sagittarius vibrates with the frequency of hope, the kind of hope that comes from, say, having our psychic wounds revealed in scorpio, being triggered like all get-out & being able to step away from the pain, get some perspective on it, see the bigger picture, see how our emotional turbulence served a purpose, helped us evolve. can you see how every circumstance in your life is an opportunity to find greater meaning, to hew closer to your highest purpose, your highest expression of self? under the sway of sagittarius, we may not be able to clearly see where we’re going, but we begin to trust that bigger forces than ourselves are able to read our destiny’s map.
mula brings the lesson of lightening the load on our journey, getting rid of anything—people, beliefs, stuff—that is impeding our progress. purvashadha brings the lesson that once we do create more physical or mental space, we can feel more authentically into what we are here to manifest, plant & water those seeds. this asterism invites us to trust that eventually, but inevitably, those seeds will sprout & grow as an expression of our truest self.
it’s the eleventh lunar day, the eleventh phase of the waxing moon, which is connected to our spiritual practices, especially meditation, b/c it is only by being fully present in each moment that we are truly & magnificently alive, that we fully & magnificently express & experience our essence.
wednesday is ruled by mercury, who gives us our curiosity to explore new interests & ideas & the discriminating intelligence to form opinions about both, decide how they resonate with us. mercury allows us to keep an open mind until all the facts have been gathered.
“all truth passes through three stages. first, it is ridiculed. second, it is violently opposed. third, it is accepted as being self-evident.” — arthur schopenhauer
are your opinions set like cement? is your mind open or closed? can you engage in honest, civil dialogue, especially about charged topics, with the intention to learn?
& 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.
