it’s wednesday, july 8, & moon is in aquarius, in the starspace called dhanishtha until early afternoon mountain time, then in the starspace called shatabhishak. both capricorn & aquarius are ruled by saturn, but capricorn’s energy is internal, aquarius’s external: in aquarius we take the benefits of capricorn’s solitude, the stillness & focus, into the world. miyamoto musashi, the seventeenth-century japanese swordsman-philosopher, put it best: “think lightly of yourself & deeply of the world.”
dhanishtha (see yesterday’s post for more) is ruled by the eight vasus, who, basically, bring us all the good things in life, making us feel wealthy. shatabhishak, which means “100 healers,” is ruled by varuna, the lord of the oceans. he holds a pot that contains soma, that herbal elixir that heals all ills, physical & spiritual, that rejuvenates & also intoxicates. now’s as good a time as any to ponder whether the liquids you are imbibing are healing or hurting you, & whether they make you feel intoxicated with aliveness or not. i have a good friend who drinks 80+ ounces of water a day to keep hydrated & to flush toxins out of her system. how’s your water consumption? does what you imbibe, in solid or liquid form, make you feel more alive or not, more authentically you or not?
it’s the fourth lunar day, which is associated with obstacles/challenges. the chinese ideogram for “obstacle” also contains the solution, just as an answer is contained within a properly composed question. if you meet an obstacle today, ponder it like a question & see if the solution, if the means to overcome it, isn’t contained within.
wednesday is mercury’s day & mars is glaring at mercury right now, so we want to be careful about having angry thoughts & letting those thoughts distract us or get us into arguments. hmmm, maybe today isn’t the best day to talk to my neighbors about maybe turning the bass down on the rave music they seem to have going 24/7 & keeps me in constant vibrate mode— maybe i should just scream into a pillow instead?!
& 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.
