it’s friday, november 17, & moon is in sagittarius, in the starspace called purvashadha until about midday mountain time, then moves into uttarashadha, which will support & transport moon into capricorn early this evening. the transition from sagittarius to capricorn is one from inspiration into practicality. sagittarius lets us soar, capricorn brings us back down to earth. inspiration without action is worthless. “faith by itself isn’t enough. unless it produces good deeds, it is dead and useless. now someone may argue, ‘some people have faith; others have good deeds.’ but I say, ‘how can you show me your faith if you don’t have good deeds?’ ” (james 2:17-18) soooooo, finish getting your inspiration on today & then do something with it, produce something good, over the weekend, don’t let it die.
purvashadha means “former victory,” uttarashadha “latter victory.” they both refer to the seed within us that wants to first sprout, then grow & blossom. yesterday we gave it space by yanking out our inner weeds. now it’s time to water & fertilize it. what is percolating within you that you don’t want to leave the planet without manifesting? “i dream of an art so transparent that you can look through & see the world,” wrote the poet & master gardener stanley kunitz. what is your dream? what do you want to grow? don’t be afraid to get your hands dirty!
it’s the fifth lunar day (tithi), the fifth phase of the waxing moon, which lights our creative fire & can also make us a little daydreamy, perhaps overly sensitive. so it’s important to keep our eyes on our goal, focus, in which case we will find the strength to achieve it. perhaps your sensitivity is your creative superpower!
friday is ruled by sociable, sensual venus, who gives us the ability to enjoy our earthly existence, especially, but not necessarily, with the ones we enjoy. with venus debilitated right now, we may be feeling critical of & disappointed with our people, or unappreciated, unable to appreciate the beauty around us. not only that but mars, mercury & sun are hanging out in the deep emotional waters of scorpio. all of which means it’s especially important not to lash out at others, make them wrong, & to work our venus muscle harder by being grateful for all the goodness we have in our lives.
& 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.
