it’s tuesday, february 1, moon is in capricorn, in the starspace called dhanishtha, & it’s the chinese new year—happy year of the tiger! like a tiger, saturn, who rules capricorn, means business—literally & metaphorically. capricorn is also the sign of government—the government-government & how we govern our individual selves, how we show up & take responsibility for our lives. if you have been shirking responsibility for your life, like a prime minister hiding from an historic convoy of truckers who have a message for him, it’s time to buck up, get down to business, be a stand for yourself, act like the leader you are.
dhanishtha brings the lesson that wealth does not come from outside, from accumulating money or stuff, from achieving more, but from inside—it is a feeling of wholeness, of abundance, of knowing we have everything we need, that we are our own source of all, that we want for nothing. in fact, one definition of yoga is the state of not needing anything. this is what the invocation from the isha upanishad says, that we are always whole:
pūrṇasya pūrṇam ādāya pūrṇam evāvaśiṣyate
oṃ śāntiḥ śāntiḥ śāntiḥ
from the whole when the whole is negated, what remains is again the whole.
om peace peace peace
it’s the first lunar day, the first phase of the waxing moon, which means it’s time to start anew & we may still be feeling into the solitude & meditative quality of the new moon from which infinite possibility arises. one way to tap into that creative potential is to do a burn & release ceremony to let go of any lingering fragments of anything preventing you from moving forward. last night i wrote & read a letter to someone i needed to release from my life, burned it & sprinkled the ashes in the snow under the dark moon. it was hard, but clearing. who or what can you release in service of your highest expression of self?
tuesday is ruled by mars, whose energy is rather tigerlike: he’s courageous & physical, he loves a challenge & has a sense of adventure. how can you make use of those qualities, or one of those qualities, in a productive way today? how can they support you? b/c they want to!
& 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.
