it’s thursday, november 19, & moon is in capricorn, in the starspace called uttarashadha. in the environment of capricorn we take action steps to live the purpose we envisioned in sagittarius. we get practical. we focus & persevere.
uttarashadha means “later victory” & is ruled by the vishwadevas, universal forces like dharma (truth), karma (action) & daksha (talent/skill). how we align with these principles & how much we are committed to them will determine how successful we are. it helps that once we find the thing we’re really good at & that feeds our soul, it usually feels effortless & so commitment, taking action, isn’t a problem.
it’s the seventh phase of the waxing moon, which is known as mitra (the friend) & is ruled by indra (the god of gods), so it’s a good day to walk through your realm with friendliness & gentleness, not with a big ego & a sense of lording it over others.
thursday is ruled by jupiter, who moves into capricorn tonight. jupiter is our connection to soul purpose, to our dharma; jupiter is our moral & ethical compass. capricorn is down to earth & material, so it is easy for us to lose our direction while jupiter hangs out there, & he is going to be there until april. which means that we could lose sight of the big picture & focus more on, say, making money & buying more stuff.
it has been well documented that more does not make us happier, that once our basic needs are met (& by basic, i do not mean a 5,000-square-foot house & three cars in the garage), our happiness does not increase with gains in income. so it’s important that during this transit, we make sure our material goals are aligned with our dharma, that our aim is true, that our needle is pointing true north. nothing wrong with earning money, but if earning money is our focus, maybe we think about what we are doing with that money, maybe we think about tithing, about all the people we can help as a byproduct. maybe we pick a cause or two or three.
& 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.
