it’s sunday, august 2, & moon is in capricorn, in the starspace called uttarashadha. uttarashadha occupies a sliver of sagittarius, but is mostly in capricorn. it creates a bridge between those two signs, a segue from the hopefulness of sagittarius into the reality-check of capricorn. under the sway of sagittarius, we find inspiration for how to live our lives, connecting to our higher purpose, seeing the bigger picture & the role we play in it. in capricorn, we do the work to walk the talk, to live an inspired life; we commit to it & figure out how to make it so.
uttarashadha means “later victory” & is ruled by the vishwadevas, the universal gods, the ten foundational principles of life—like time & talent & determination, to name a few. how we honor them, how we do or don’t rely on them, embody their wisdom, will determine how much success we have, whether we get those later victories. how we do anything is how we do everything. the step we take today determines where we end up tomorrow. doing our dharma, being in right relation with the gods, with the divine, both connects us to our own divinity & is an expression of it. it’s a gift, a win, that keeps on giving, that keeps us feeling victorious.
it’s the fifteenth phase of the waxing moon, which means we may be full to bursting with emotions & that there will be a full moon tomorrow in the asterism called shravana. so more on that tomorrow, but that doesn’t prevent you from checking out the moon tonight & absorbing its healing luminosity—moon bath, anyone?
sunday is ruled by the sun, & as i always say, it’s a good day to get out in it, to recharge your soul(ar) battery—but don’t forget your hat & sunscreen. it’s also a good day to set your intentions for the coming week—three’s a good number—so that you can make each step you take an intentional one.
& 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.
