it’s friday, july 3, moon moves from capricorn into aquarius early afternoon while being supported & transported by the starspace called dhaniṣṭā, it’s the fourth phase of the waning moon & venus’ day.

 

where your attention is being drawn

the move from capricorn into aquarius is one from taking responsibility for our personal life to taking responsibility for our life as global citizens, understanding that everything we do impacts the world around us, that we are all butterflies beating our wings & affecting the weather thousands of miles away.

unlike butterflies, who don’t consciously do what they do, we get to choose how we behave, do understand that our actions have consequences.

“things do not change, we change,” said thoreau. “be the change you want to see in the world,” said gandhi.

how do your actions reflect your vision of the world you want to live in?

 

how to direct your mental/emotional energy

dhaniṣṭā means “the most wealthy” & brings a lesson about abundance, about true abundance coming from finding, or realigning with, your own personal, unique rhythm. this nakshatra is also known as śraviṣṭā, connecting it to yesterday’s star (śravaṇa) of deep listening, thus doubles down on the necessity of listening to & trusting your intuition.

are you dancing to your own beat or someone else’s? do you trust your innermost voice?

 

what supports you emotionally

the fourth lunar day (tithi), the fourth phase of the waning moon, is ruled by goddess bherunda, aka “the terrible one.” terrible as in formidable, as in watch out! for she helps us see what we don’t want to see in ourselves. which is why this tithi is one of the three (with the ninth & fourteenth) best for inner work, spiritual & otherwise.

what might you find if you take some time to look within?

 

how to align with the weekday’s energy

friday is ruled by venus, so it’s always a good day to do what you love with (or without, b/c fourth tithi) the ones you love. but/& venus is, like moon, changing signs, the difference being that moving from cancer into leo, venus has no starry support. there is no nakshatra between water & fire signs to ease the way—planets have to fly without a net.

it will take venus until july 8 to fully make the crossing & settle in leo. during this time karmic issues around relationships may surface—yay, we get to grow!—& we get to ask ourselves what is ours to carry & what not, whether we are, perhaps, staying b/c it’s familiar & thus comfortable, whether it’s time to break a well-honed pattern, take off our masks & set ourselves free. which may not entail a total severing but just a rebalancing of the dynamic.

ponder, but don’t make rash decisions—venus is prone to blame others these days now, make us feel under loved & under appreciated.

but … what would be possible if you let go of the familiar & welcomed the unknown, stepped a little more into your power?

the daily bliss is 100% human generated! the act of creation is intrinsic to being human—when we give up our agency to create, we cease, little by little, to be fully human.

may it allow you to align with the day’s cosmic energy so you can find & create a little (or a lot!) more bliss in your life.
