it’s sunday, july 5, & moon will be moving from the starspace called purvashadha into the starspace called uttarashadha later this morning. purvashadha, where the moon was full yesterday, is in sagittarius. uttarashadha straddles sagittarius & capricorn & the moon will be moving into the capricorn portion late this afternoon, inviting us to transform our inspiration (sagittarius) into practice (capricorn), to make it real & tangible, not just theoretical.
the full moon in purvashadha set the tone for the second half of this lunar month, which began with the new moon in gemini two weeks ago. under the sway of the new moon in gemini we started seeking facts to support or discredit our beliefs; in sagittarius we begin to integrate that information & adjust our beliefs accordingly, rid ourselves of false narratives & drop into a narrative that is truer, at least for now.
purvashadha means “early victory,” uttarashadha “later victory.” our early victories come from our connection to teachers & teachings, from the blessings of wisdom passed on to us. our later victories come from putting those teachings into practice. teachers can do only so much. wisdom isn’t wisdom unless we use it, share it, live it. the best way to honor our teachers is to practice what they teach. are you doing so?
it’s the first phase of the waning moon, which is associated with the creativity of new beginnings. being creative is innate to being human—how we express our creativity is unique to each of us. creativity is both a (birth) right & a privilege. may we revel in it rather than squander it.
sunday is owned by the sun, which brings clarity to our vision through its purifying heat the way saunas, whether dry heat or infrared, rid our bodies of toxins, improve circulation, etc. it’s a good day to feel the sun’s literal heat on your body, imagine it penetrating all your koshas, layers—from the physical to the emotional to the astral—& getting super clear. but don’t forget your sunscreen & sun hat—after receiving a diagnosis of squamous cell skin cancer, i’ve become a born-again champion of sun protection!
& that’s your daily bliss! which is a kind of lunar weather report. the moon is our consciousness & i hope that by unpacking the cosmic forces influencing it every day, you’ll be better able to understand & thus lean into its ever-changing vibrations & use them to your advantage.
