it’s friday, july 19, & moon is in the starspace called dhanishta, which straddles capricorn & aquarius. yesterday afternoon moon was in the capricorn portion, today it’s in the aquarian portion. after getting real about our immediate life in capricorn, we want to extend that “leaving everything better than we found it” mentality to all of humanity, or at least some, at least as much as we can touch, the next ripple beyond, say, our family & closest friends. but don’t stop there if you want to do more!
dhanishta is about feeling wealthy in mind & spirit & is ruled by the eight vasudevas, who personify the sun in the forms of: apas (water), dhruva (the polestar), soma (the moon as the nectar of immortality), dhara (earth), anila (wind), anala (fire), pratyusha (pre-dawn) & prabhas (the sky/ether). apologies for all the sanskrit terms, but i beg your indulgence for one more bit of sanskrit to, um, illuminate the shakti associated with this asterism : the root vas means to shine, grow bright or to bestow by shining upon. so do soak up all that light today, allow yourself to feel the blessings of material as well as spiritual wealth. allow the light of all those devas to shine on you & fill you, so that you can pass it on, bestow it on others—keep the rays of that heavenly light rippling out out out out out.
it’s the third phase of the waxing moon, which invites us to be flexible, open to change, to be curious about options, especially ones we hadn’t been considering.
& that’s your daily bliss—venus exudes his influence over friday, so it’s a great good day to, say, have a picnic by boulder creek to celebrate the end of a two-week intensive with your delightful & delightfully wise & sweet & embodied ashtanga teacher. you know where to find me late this afternoon!
p.s. jyotish, vedic astrology, is the science of light. if you want to shine more light on your life, understand why you are here & how best to work with the planetary energy expressed through your natal chart, i’d love to enlighten you with a session—contact me! ~.~
