it’s monday, february 20, & moon is in aquarius, in the starspace called shatabhishak, & that’s where the new moon was born just after midnight mountain time. aquarius vibrates with the frequency of humanitarianism, expanding our POV outward from our own lives to that of our community, city, state, country, world. it’s no longer about doing what needs doing to improve our own lives, but doing what needs doing, what we can do, to make a positive impact on the world around us.
shatabhishak brings the shakti (the power) of healing by revealing mysteries—sources of illness, cures—which is underscored by the fact that shiva is said to burn through the veil of illusion, maya, when he opens his third eye on this new moon (note the moon sliver in his hair!) & that karmic patterns can be transformed. we know that karmic patterns cause all manner of dis-ease, whether physical, emotional or cultural, right? this asterism also reminds us that we are our own healers & shiva gives us the power of meditation to look within. as swati dharma mentor says, “lack of trust in your own medicine will keep you wasting time & energy searching for answers that are already within you.”
with saturn in aquarius feeling the sun’s heat big time, truths about government & society & the global matrix may be revealed. with venus exalted in pisces & hanging out with jupiter, we may be feeling into whether our relationships, any & all, align with spirit, with our highest potential & aspirations, or whether we have been deluded.
the new moon is the union of sun & moon, shiva & shakti, & we know what usually happens when male & female get up close & personal, right? a seed is planted, new life is born. shiva without shakti “is not even able to stir,” as the saundarya lahari, puts it, but when united with shakti “has the power to manifest.”
soooo, our moon work for the coming cycle is to plant the seeds for healing—whether that means for ourselves, our relationships, or our freaking world.
it’s the first lunar day & monday is ruled by the moon, so it’s an especially good day to feel into what our intuition tells us would be healing, what would be the best, most auspicious use of our powers of manifestation, so we can bring it.
& that’s your daily bliss! which is a sort 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.
