it’s monday, june 8, & moon is in capricorn in the starspace called uttarashadha. uttarashadha starts in sagittarius & ends in capricorn, transforming sagittarian hope & high-mindedness into practical measures to realize that hope & high-mindedness. capricorn asks us to get serious about what we believe. you know, it’s one thing to say, “black lives matter” or, “we have to do better than this tyrannical, fascist government”; it’s another thing to put our money where our mouth is & donate to causes that protect black lives or to start canvassing for candidates who can turn this country around. as the rev. al sharpton said in his eulogy in minneapolis last week, “there is a time and a season, and when I looked this time, and saw marches where in some cases young whites outnumbered the blacks marching, I know that it’s a different time and a different season.” sagittarius reveals the new season; capricorn reminds us that time is running out, that the time is now.
uttarashadha is connected to the previous nakshatra, purvashadha, in that what couldn’t be subdued now really can’t be subdued. if yesterday you spied a spark of your essence that you’re keeping way dimmed, today—if you are willing to commit, are willing to take action, are willing to be your own leader, if you are in right alignment with your dharma—that dimmer knob is going to be turned all the way up.
it’s the fourth phase of the waning moon, which is related to obstacles. of course the obstacles are only ever in our minds—we create them, we can disappear them. how have you been blocking yourself, limiting yourself? what beliefs about yourself are so not true & are only obstacles to your true truth?
monday is the moon’s day. i think it’s safe to say that every day feels a bit like monday these days, that we’re all feeling emotionally tender & vulnerable, that the layers around our hearts are getting peeled back. i think that’s a good thing.
& 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.
