it’s thursday, february 12, moon is in sagittarius, in the starspace called mūla, it’s the eleventh phase of the waning moon & jupiter’s day.
sagittarius can feel like the weight of the world being lifted off our shoulders after the sturm und drang of scorpio (phew! glad that’s over!). sag vibrates with the frequency of hope & optimism, of pronoia, which is the name of rob brezsny’s emphatically positive book & is the opposite of scorpio’s paranoia. pronoia is the belief that others & the world are conspiring for our benefit, that there is a bigger force (hello, jupiter!) working behind the scenes (or maybe right in front of our faces) to support us, who want only the best for us.
mūla invites us to uproot (mūla = “root”) the negative/outdated thoughts & beliefs (like that the world has it out for us, doesn’t have our back) obscuring the truth. the truth isn’t always pretty, neat ‘n’ tidy. good thing goddess niritti is in charge: she loves to make a mess!
the eleventh lunar day (tithi), the eleventh phase of the waning moon, is associated with spiritual practices like fasting & meditation b/c it’s when our mind is least bizzy & buzzy, the least distractible, so the most receptive to messages/wisdom from the divine, from the ether, from what is bigger than us.
“meditation has become a part of my writing process. & when i am meditating, i am giving thanks & also very much asking for guidance, for input, for the ability to hear & feel the presence of ancestors & my own higher self,” writes former US poet laureate tracy k. smith. “listening out beyond my own known self gives me the feeling that i am porous, & that i can think in dialogue with another larger intelligence.”
what guidance/wisdom might you receive if you listened beyond your known self?
thursday is, like sag, ruled by jupiter, so it’s a double-good day to collect evidence for all the ways the universe is supporting, not thwarting, us.
btw: another good reason to lie low, focus on your inside life, is that it’s moving day for sun, who is making the trip from capricorn into aquarius this afternoon. sun is our soul(ar) battery & when he moves house he’s preoccupied with packing & unpacking, just as we would be. he has to unplug & then plug back in, & it takes a bit of time for him to settle into his new digs & recharge. so we may feel as if our own battery is in the red zone. best to lower our expectations, cut ourselves some slack, take a “beach day” if possible.
& 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.
