it’s thursday, december 14, & moon is in sagittarius, in the starspace called purvashadha. sagittarius vibrates with the frequency of our belief system—the principles we live by, that give us a sense of purpose, of living a righteous life. note: that does not mean that objectively we are doing good in the world, uplifting those around us. terrorists feel a sense of purpose, think their principles & causes are just, that they are doing good in the world! ruling planet jupiter inspires & expands, can take inspiration too far, into the realm of fanaticism, can make us preachy, self-righteous. moon in sagittarius, with mercury retrograde there, gives us an opportunity to ponder whether our beliefs are actually bringing the results we want, if they are sattvic (pure) & connecting us to the highest.
purvashadha brings a lesson about the big thing that lives within us, the itch that needs to be scratched, the dream within us that is dying to be realized. the poet & master gardener stanley kunitz said, “i dream of an art so transparent you can look through it & see the world.” what’s your dream? if you had one year to live, what would you feel compelled to do or create before you transitioned into the next realm of existence? what do you feel compelled to complete in this lifetime? what’s on your vision board? do you need to make a new one? what are you waiting for?!
it’s the second lunar day (tithi), the second phase of the waxing moon, which gives us the confidence to fan the spark of yesterday’s inspiration into a full-blown flame big & bright enough to be visible to the world.
thursday, like sagittarius, is ruled by jupiter, planet of abundance & expansion, who expands our vision of ourself, allows us to grow, by connecting us to wisdom sources. wisdom comes from many sources: teachers, teachings, parents, coaches, therapists, mentors, life events. jupiter is the part of us that is always learning, that doesn’t discriminate among the good, the bad & the ugly, but rather invites it all, says, “bring it!” how are you with what life throws at you? do you deflect it like a force field or are you able to hold it in your field with compassion & curiosity, see what you can learn from it?
& 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.
