December 25th’s dollop of dharma courtesy of the moon!

it’s wednesday, december 25 (merry xmas!!!), & moon is in the starspace called mula, which is the first sky-slice of sagittarius. sagittarius brings focus to our beliefs/belief systems, especially in terms of how they provide guidance so that we can align with our higher purpose, with something greater than just ourselves, with the truth (capital T). our beliefs could be associated with a religion or spiritual or wisdom school, but not necessarily—maybe you’re an economist or artist & your guru is adam smith or andy warhol! not only is moon in sag, but so are a gazillion other planets, which means there is a whole lotta attention being given to the path we’re walking & how we’re walking it. not only that, but there is a solar eclipse in sag today. eclipses bring what’s hidden to light, they reveal secrets, stuff we might prefer not to deal with. time for the truth to be outed.

     mula means “root” & is ruled by niritti, dark goddess of destruction. as i mentioned yesterday, she is a super-fierce aspect of kali & kali likes things messy. you know how it is when you’re tidying up but first you have to pull everything out of the closet so you can sort through it, fold & hang things more neatly, get rid of what you haven’t worn in ages? well, with the eclipse here, you’re going to find stuff in the back of your metaphysical closet that you maybe would prefer not to look at or have been overlooking, thought maybe you’d get one more season out of. you will be asked to ask yourself, big time, whether your beliefs are serving you, whether your teachers are serving you, are serving the best you you can be. do they bring joy or fear? do they make you cower or light you up?

     the world is full of false prophets & charlatans & if you’ve got an open heart & mind, if you are emotionally vulnerable, it is easy to get taken in, to assume the best. to protect yourself, shaman durek (dude is awesome!!!) suggests rubbing your hands together briskly, which stimulates serotonin. the flooding of serotonin throughout the body strengthens the mental-emotional immune system, creating a sort of energetic shield around you, protecting you from energy that doesn’t come from a place of love—i.e., from those people who don’t really have your best interests or anyone’s best interests at heart, who aren’t aligned with truth (capital T). shaman durek says to do this hand rubbing before you leave the house every day & especially if you are about to come into contact with people whose motives you might question, or enter into a questionable situation.

     i’m going to go out on a limb here & suggest that you might want to just sit quietly after you rub your hands together & meditate on the guiding principles or teachings of your life & see how they sit with you in your state of heightened vibration. let me know how it goes!

     the moon will be completely dark until after dinner, then becomes new around 10 pm mountain time. the next lunar cycle is all about what i just said, so let’s get to work!

     wednesday is owned by mercury, who just joined sun, moon, mars, jupiter, saturn & ketu in sag (yes, it’s a planet party in sag!), so do use your discriminating intelligence to uproot the beliefs what needs uprooting.

     & that’s your daily bliss! a little bit longer than usual b/c it’s an eclipse day—think i’ll take tomorrow off since i’m going to have a late night!
