it’s wednesday, august 19, & we’ve got a new moon in leo, in the starspace called magha, setting the tone, giving us direction, for the lunar month ahead. the new moon means sun & moon are in the same sign, both illuminating & reflecting its intelligence, its wisdom, its efforts to help us evolve.
leo is the king, the king of the jungle, the sovereign within each of us, & the nakshatra magha connects us to our ancestors, to all those who came before us, passed our kingdom down to us, made it possible for us to rule & roam through our jungles. so we are being asked to step up into our bigness for the next month, to inhabit our throne, & to do so in a manner that honors our ancestors.
where can you be bigger in your life, take more responsibility, ooze more beneficial influence, as a good king does? how can you step into your bigness to heal your ancestral karma, the karma carried by generations or even the karma just passed down to you from your parents? what gifts did they pass down? what not-gifts, as in, how did they not fulfill their destiny, their unique potential, their desires, & how can you heal those wounds by fulfilling yours? what familiar wounds are still festering? when we heal ourselves, we heal our ancestors as well, end the festering.
our ancestral karma is both personal & collective. we have karma as earthlings & as americans as well. now is a great good time, perhaps the best & most crucial time, to think about how we can wield our power, our sense of purpose, our ability to go big, to step up, to heal those karmas as well. no better time to help create the world we want to see, the america we want to live in, by doing whatever we can. something. if each of us does something, it will get done. may the world hear us roar!
wednesday is ruled by mercury, who is hanging out in leo with sun & moon right now, & so close to the sun that we may find ourselves misunderstood or not heard. it may feel as if we’re shouting into a solar wind, that our words are being singed by solar flares, b/c we sort of are, they sort of are. if everyone is shouting, no one is being heard. not to worry—this too shall pass.
& 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.
