it’s friday, september 5, & moon is in capricorn, in the starspace called śravana until noon MDT, then dhaniṣṭā. capricorn is the tenth sign of the natural zodiac, which is called the karma bhava, the house (bhava) of action (karma comes from the sanskrit verb kṛ, “to do”). this is our public-facing life, our duties & responsibilities, our career, how we show up & what we do in the world. capricorn is very business-y; it’s where we take the business of our life seriously.
śravana invites us to listen deeply & brings the power to connect. dhaniṣṭā, in the heart of capricorn, invites us to tune into our unique rhythm & brings the power of abundance & fame. when we listen to others, we connect & through those connections gather all the resources we need to act with integrity in full view of the public, dance fearlessly to our own beat.
it’s the thirteenth lunar day (tithi), the thirteenth phase of the waxing moon, which is 1) ruled by kamadeva, aka the hindu cupid (venus’ son), & has quality, perhaps not surprisingly, of priti (love); 2) removes all shortcomings & increases good juju; 3) is also co-ruled by jupiter, who increases our connection to our intuition, our inner GPS, our inner guru. triple yay!
friday is ruled by venus, planet of love, art, beauty, of all our earthly delights. in fact, our human experience is pretty much a venusian one. so friday is always a good day to celebrate, indulge it.
meanwhile, venus is smack-dab in the middle of cancer right now & will next move into leo & then into virgo, none of which are her happy places, which means it’s harder for us to access the best of her & we may feel dissatisfied, as if we’re being starved of our earthly pleasures, may even hold our people responsible.
rather than looking to netflix series or chocolate (i’ve got nothing against chocolate, but … ) to self-soothe, to fill ourselves up, we can nourish our depleted venus by wearing white or buying ourselves flowers on fridays, by dressing up, by chanting or listening to a lakshmi mantra like om hrim mahalakshmyai namah.
heads-up: there is a lunar eclipse sunday morning, in aquarius, in the starspace called pūrvabhādra. this can be a particularly sensitive time, but/& also a time for great healing—stay grounded, notice what arises. more coming soon.
& that’s your daily bliss! which is a sort of lunar weather report. may it allow you to align with the day’s cosmic energy so you can find & create a little more bliss.
