it’s thursday, january 14, & moon is in capricorn, in the starspace called shravana. sun is there, as is mercury, saturn & jupiter, so there’s a planet party going on in capricorn. altho capricorn is not exactly the best place for a party—maybe party planning, but not the party itself. the energy here is serious & practical, especially, on a personal level, where our immediate world is concerned. it’s where we reflect on the limitations in our life & how we can use them to our advantage, to focus.
shravana invites us to listen deeply so we can hear the truth within. to be able to listen deeply, we have to get quiet. to get quiet, we have to get still. to get still, we have to love ourselves enough to want to be with ourselves alone, to want to hear what our innermost being has to reveal to us, to be able to surrender, not feel the need for other distractions. which means we have to love ourselves truly, madly, deeply. which means that meditation is an act of radical self-love. how’s your self-love life?
it’s the second phase of the waxing moon, the second lunar day, which supports creative acts that sustain our life, like, say, knitting a sweater or blanket or making a vat of soup & freezing it in quarts.
thursday is ruled by jupiter, whose sanskrit name is guru. the guru dispels darkness & confusion, provides clarity & gives us hope by guiding us toward the light. of course there are false gurus, & i don’t just mean spiritual teachers, but anyone who stands on a real or metaphorical pulpit & acts as if they know something we don’t, as if they have the answer. with jupiter in his least-happy place in capricorn for months to come, this is a good time to really question our beliefs, & who is providing them, to question whether they are really serving our highest interests, & to remember that our highest interests are not separate from everyone else’s, b/c we are not separate.
& that’s your daily bliss! which is a kind of lunar weather report. it is my hope that the daily bliss can help you align with the day’s cosmic energy & find a little more bliss; that it inspires you to enlighten up a little more each day.
