it’s tuesday, december 7, & moon is in capricorn, in the starspace called uttarashadha until late morning, then in shravana. capricorn vibrates with the frequency of practicality. in the environment of this saturn-ruled sign, we grok that our time on this planet, in this incarnation, is finite, & if we don’t get done what we are meant to, we’ll just have to come back & do it next time. i’m not complaining about this time, but, hey, wouldn’t it be fun to have a different experience next time? if you’re with me, you will want to take consistent, positive action steps every day to complete your work. every step counts!
shravana (see yesterday’s post for uttarashadha) brings the lesson that wisdom arises when we are able to get quiet & listen deeply. in the words of paramahansa yogananda, “through the portals of silence, the healing sun of wisdom and peace will shine upon you.” we can use silence to heal ourselves or others. by, for example, being fully present to another person’s pain, allowing them to share their woes with total compassion & acceptance & without judgment, we can help to free them from it. creating a safe container is a loving way to use the power of silence.
it’s the fourth lunar day, the fourth phase of the waxing moon, so we might feel stymied, come up against some hurdles. there’s always a do-around, or, in the case of hurdles, an -over & -under, right?
tuesday is ruled by mars, who is our fighting spirit, our inner warrior. ideally, we use mars’ energy spiritually, to fight our mental-emotional-psychological demons so that we can evolve, be our best selves, rather than to fight the demons we think are “out there,” coming from or in the form of other people. tackling our inner demons can be an endless task, but mars is strong-strong-strong right now, so we could give a few of them the one-two punch without getting bloody knuckles. how about discomfort, which can arise when, say, we feel we can’t control our circumstances, which, um, we really can’t ever do! how about we use some spiritual muscle to knock discomfort upside the head today? but feel free to tackle whichever demons are most present for you!
& that’s your daily bliss! which is a kind 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. may it inspire you to enlighten up a little more each day.
