it’s tuesday, march 9, & moon is in capricorn, in the starspace called shravana. capricorn is ruled by saturn, who never stops reminding us that time is of the essence, we don’t have all day, there are only 525,948.767 minutes in a year, & that we must focus focus focus, commit commit commit so that we don’t waste one precious minute. the question is, how are you going to use your allotment of 1,440 minutes today? what’s the best purpose you can put them to?
shravana brings the lesson of deep listening. one tenet of jivamukti yoga is nada, “sound,” which we incorporate into our classes through chanting sacred mantra & crafting playlists to support & deepen the asana practice. we imbibe the magic of sanskrit syllables & tune our external ears to hear, so that when we sit for meditation we’ve primed our body to turn on our inner ears, hear the voice within.
listening is an act of love, whether we listen to ourselves or to others, & surely listening to one nurtures our ability to listen to the other.
it’s the twelfth phase of the waning moon, which is connected to the sun, who gives us our vision & clarity & is our consistent source of energy. oh, to feel always fully charged, always radiating our light! oh, to always know where we are going! yes, we can!
tuesday is owned by mars, who is our warrior essence, the part of us that courageously takes action to improve the world or ourselves. mars is our inner rebel, but can sometimes become so passionate & headstrong as to forget about the others in the picture, become self-centered & then even resentful, alone & separate, which can turn into combativeness, & that’s not good for anyone. the next few weeks are a good time to focus our martian firepower on getting sh%t done in our own lives—if you can’t think of anything, there’s always taxes!
& that’s your daily bliss! which is a kind of lunar weather report. it is my hope that the daily bliss can help you align with the day’s cosmic energy & find a little more bliss; that it inspires you to enlighten up a little more each day.
