it’s thursday, december 9, & moon is in aquarius, in the starspace called dhanishtha until 9-ish this morning, then shatabhishak. aquarius vibrates with the frequency of thinking lightly of ourselves & deeply of the world, to paraphrase miyamoto musashi, perhaps the greatest samurai & a zen buddhist. in the environment of aquarius, we feel a sense of responsibility for, a desire to improve, to heal, the world around us.
“action on behalf of life transforms. b/c the relationship between self and the world is reciprocal, it is not a question of first getting enlightened or saved & then acting. as we work to heal the earth, the earth heals us.” —robin wall kimmerer
speaking of healing, shatabhishak (see yesterday’s post for dhanishtha), which means 100 doctors/healers, brings the lesson that sometimes, maybe all the time, we need a lot of help to heal, especially on a metaphysical level—to heal our karma. i’m sure you know what i mean: like, how many times are we going to be triggered by the same situation before we work that woundedness out? how many different therapeutic paradigms are we going to have to throw at our pain before we can say we’re done with it, before we’ve finally incinerated those karmic seeds? so, let’s keep at it! b/c the more we heal, the more we heal the world & those around us.
it’s the seventh lunar day, the seventh phase of the waxing moon, which is ruled by indra. it’s a good day for us to feel into our power but also to remember that we are mere vehicles for it, that it comes from god. we get to be powerful & not all up in our heads about it. we get to be powerful & humble.
thursday is owned by jupiter, whose sanskrit name is guru. the guru is the one who connects us, through wisdom sources, as the wisdom source, to god, who reminds us that our deepest dna is divine. for this reason, it is said, or has at least been said by my teachers, that there is no difference between guru & god. if you are not feeling your divinity today, if you are not feeling your god-nature, your buddha-nature today, it can be helpful to read some scripture or watch an uplifting youtube video or just meditate on your favorite teacher.
& 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.
