it’s thursday, august 27, & moon is in the starspace called mula, which occupies the first sky-slice of sagittarius. time to reconnect with our sense of higher purpose, with what gives our life meaning, with our sense of hope. if you are feeling hopeless about, say, the state of our country, one antidote would be to make sure every democrat you know votes in this most crucial election of our lives. just saying!
mula is kind of the marie kondo of the nakshatras. mula wants us to yank out, uproot, whatever doesn’t serve, whatever isn’t useful or beautiful in our lives, make space for what will better serve us, or just make space, period. unlike marie kondo, mula invites us to do so ruthlessly, dispassionately—altho feel free to make a ritual of the process, to look that negative belief in the eye & say, “thanks & goodbye!”
it’s the tenth phase of the waxing moon, which is associated with acting in right relationship to dharma, with doing the right things—not just for ourselves, but for everyone. &, actually, they are related, b/c what is truly right for us is right for all & vice versa. according to kant’s categorical imperative, we should “act only according to the maxim whereby you can at the same time will that it should become a universal law.” which means, before we act, imagine what would happen if everyone did the same thing. still want to do it? still want to go through that red light? still want to use a plastic bag? still want to buy clothes made in a sweatshop? still want to eat meat processed in a slaughterhouse where covid is raging & workers are treated as badly as the animals—i mean, if you eat meat?
thursday is ruled by jupiter, who is the guru, our inner guru. yes, even tho we look outward for teachers & teachings, the reality is that we are the ones who decide which teacher or teachings resonate, which path to follow, & thus we are our own teacher, our own guru. it can just take us a while to figure that out.
& 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.
