it’s tuesday, december 15, & moon is in sagittarius, in the starspace called purvashadha. whereas scorpio is a tamasic sign, is motivated by fear, sagittarius is a sattvic sign, is motivated by truth with a capital “t.” if we do our scorpio work & face our fears, look them in the eye, realize that they are not us, we open ourselves to the insights & wisdom of sagittarius, where we see the bigger picture, connect to something vaster & more soul-nourishing, beliefs that can sustain us for the long haul.
purvashadha can be translated as “that which cannot be repressed” & is ruled by apas, the water god. when we water a seed, eventually but inevitably, its true nature, its hidden essence, is revealed, the giant oak contained in that tiny acorn package emerges. we are all seeds. we all contain infinite gifts waiting to burst forth. what is waiting to burst forth from you? what kind of nourishment does it, do you, need?
it’s the second phase of the waxing moon, which invites us to create something tangible that will sustain our life on earth: sagittarius inspires wisdom & hope, which sustains us on a soul level; this phase of the moon inspires us to make a big pot of soup & freeze some or plant a garden or repair the roof, to sustain us on a material level.
mars rules tuesday, & he likes us to do, to take action, but it is moving day for the sun, who is making the journey from scorpio into sagittarius. sun is our consistent energy source & when sun is moving signs that energy is focused on the moving & it can be a little harder for us to access it. so it’s helpful to lower our expectations, even take the day off doing if we can. &, really, the highest expression of mars is as the spiritual warrior, whose energy is focused within, who does battle with our crazy-ass demons who keep us from expressing out genuine authentic selves. as chogyam trungpa said:
“warriorship is a continual journey. to be a warrior is to learn to be genuine in every moment of your life.”
so maybe take some quiet internal action steps today to fine-tune your authenticity?
& that’s your daily bliss! which is a kind of lunar weather report. it is my hope that the daily bliss can help you align with the day’s cosmic energy & find a little more bliss; that it inspires you to enlighten up a little more each day.
