it’s wednesday, june 10, & moon is in the nakshatra, or skyspace, called dhanishtha. dhanishtha straddles capricorn & aquarius, subtly shifting our focus from the individual in capricorn to the collective in aquarius. both signs are ruled by saturn, who makes us practical, gets us serious & gives us perseverance, but in capricorn we’re more concerned with our immediate world, with ourselves & the people closest to us, while in aquarius our concern expands to the entirety of the world, we want to take on great humanitarian & social & political causes, get real about making the world a better place for one & all.
dhani means “wealthy,” ishtha “completely,” as in every way you can imagine—wealthy in body, mind, spirit; wealthy in home & family, in your vocation or avocation; wealthy in yourself, in feeling that you are enough, that you are whole, that you are full, complete. one definition of yoga is the state of not wanting anything, b/c you know you have it all, of not feeling lack but of feeling abundance. under the influence of dhanishtha it’s a good day to appreciate all you have & all you are & to realize that it’s plenty, that you’ve got it all going on, that you have everything you need, & more.
it’s the sixth phase of the waning moon, which is associated with with shiva’s youngest son, kartikeya, who was a general celebrated for his victories. what breakthroughs can you celebrate today? what breakdowns can you celebrate? yes, sometimes we have to break down to rebuild, to move forward, to show us what didn’t work. sometimes what appears to be “bad” is really “good.”
it’s wednesday, which means mercury is in charge & he’s in his own sign of gemini right now, so we’ll get super support when it comes to what he cares about: communicating with others, sharing ideas, exploring new interests, dealing with technology. maybe today’s the day i deal with my backup drive not backing up!
& 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.
