it’s tuesday, june 9, & moon is in the starspace called shravana, which occupies a sky-slice of capricorn. capricorn is ruled by saturn, who supports us in making slow, steady progress, gives us the persistence & discipline to keep putting one foot in front of another toward our goal. saturn is also the great meditator, capable of enormous stillness & solitude in order to tap into source.
shravana invites us, encourages us, to listen deeply so that we can hear what our heart is saying. in order to listen, we have to create space, a buffer of silence around our heart. we have to get still to do that, keep the noise at bay. there is a lot of noise in the air right now, a lot of voices, a lot of ideas. honestly, as a privileged white woman (is that redundant?) with a clearly myopic view of racial injustice (is that redundant too?), i know what’s wrong intellectually, but i’m not sure what the answer is yet, it hasn’t entered my awareness, hasn’t taken root in my heart. i lived with a man for ten years whose zulu father had been driven off by his white british mother’s family, but i don’t think i ever connected his reality of otherness to black otherness in general—his otherness seemed specific. my brain knows that black, & other marginalized, people wake up every day wearing their skin color like difference, but i don’t know what that feels like, so i’ve decided that for the time being i’m just going to shut up & listen to experts, starting with this list.
it’s the fifth phase of the waning moon, so it’s a good day for healing routines, including, um, getting still & meditating—clearly a theme today!
mars, who likes a good fight, rules tuesday. he’s been in aquarius for the past couple of weeks, & aquarius is concerned with social justice, which explains why people are all of a sudden fed up and coming together to fight the good fight—by finding commonality in outrage & protesting, talking truth to power.
& 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.
