it’s monday, may 31, & moon is in capricorn, in the starspace called dhanishtha. under the sway of capricorn we are reminded that time is finite, we get only so many breaths in a lifetime—approximately 672,768,000, give or take—& that we shouldn’t waste them. annie dillard said, “write as if you were dying.” capricorn says, do everything as if you were dying, or, make sure you do what really matters as if today were your last day on earth.
dhanishtha is ruled by the eight vasus, the cosmic deities that are rays of light in our life & support us in making the intangible tangible, who bring inspiration down to earth by guiding us toward taking practical action steps to manifest our dreams, bring them into the light of day.
it’s the sixth lunar day, the sixth phase of the waning moon, which i always appreciate b/c it invites us to celebrate our victories, to see our glass as half full, if not overflowing, rather than as half empty, to see abundance rather than lack, to recognize the small & big miracles in our lives, which we facilitate all. the. time.
at natural grocers the other day, i happened to mention to the produce guy that i was disappointed all the cherries were gone, upon which he said there was one bag left in the fridge & asked me if i wanted them. of course i did! & of course i recognized the grace, the miracle, that this simple connection brought. what miracles, big or small, have appeared as a result of actions (like connecting to a stranger) you have taken, big & small?
monday is ruled by the moon. all of the planets are alive within us, & the moon lives within us as our capacity to feel—to feel connected to others. today is a good day to trust your heart & let it lead, to be open to giving & receiving love & to noticing where your love might be blocked, whom you might be excluding.
“love until you & the beloved become one.” — ram dass
& 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.
