it’s tuesday, august 29, & moon is in capricorn, in the starspace called shravana. the environment of capricorn invites us to get serious about our immediate lives, reminds us that time waits for no one, including us, so we best make hay while we can. which means now.
shravana means “what is audible.” it is the star of deep listening. as jai dev singh shared recently, shravana “is the deep listening that emerges when the chatter of the mind finally relaxes. it is a dwelling in bliss,” adding that “all the greatest musicians tap into this energy when at their best. coltrane called it a love supreme. carlos santana calls it the universal tone.” what are you listening to? is it bringing you closer to bliss or farther away from it? does it speak to your heart, invite your heart to speak to you? does it nourish your soul? can you hear the innermost, innermost voice dwelling within you, the voice of truth, of inspiration? put on some coltrane or santana & see if that helps!
it’s the fourteenth lunar day, the fourteenth, & penultimate, phase of the waxing moon, & you know what that means—full moon on the horizon! so we are probs feeling full to bursting with sumpin’—maxing out the work we have been doing for the past fortnight regarding our emotional attachments & what they want to teach us. it’s a good day to ponder what we have & have not learned, where we still have room for growth, & to not judge ourselves but to remember that we never finish growing, that earth school is pretty much forever.
tuesday is ruled by mars, who, in the natal chart, is the indicator of siblings. where he lands—in which house, which sign, which nakshatra, in what relation to other planets—provides insights into your relationship with your brothers & sisters (or lack of them), into the karma you get to work out with them in this lifetime. my teacher sam geppi reminds us that in the hindu calendar today also happens to be a holiday called raksha bandha, which is a day to celebrate siblings, heal any rivalry, tell them how special they are. if that’s a stretch for you, maybe just reach out!
& that’s your daily bliss! which is a sort 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.
