it’s friday, november 20, & moon is in capricorn in the starspace called shravana. capricorn brings our attention to the hard work of life, the focus & commitment & perseverance & discipline that allow us to meet our goals. capricorn is not about partying, it’s about getting serious about our lives, but that doesn’t mean no enjoyment, for isn’t fulfilling our goals satisfying? isn’t it better than doing nothing & complaining? we get to be the victor not the victim.
shravana invites us to listen deeply. in “lab girl,” which was a way more intoxicating read than you might imagine a memoir organized around plants would be, the brilliant scientist & writer hope jahren writes:
“each piece of wood in your house—from the windowsills to the furniture to the rafters—was once part of a living being, thriving in the open & pulsing with sap. if you look at these wooden objects across the grain, you might be able to trace out the boundaries of a couple of rings. the delicate shape of those lines tells you the story of a couple of years. if you know how to listen, each ring describes how the rain fell and the wind blew and the sun appeared every day at dawn.”
what story, what message, what truth arises if you can get quiet enough to hear it?
yikes, i was on migraine brain yesterday & blurred my tithis! this is what i wrote yesterday, which is really about today: 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.
venus rules friday, & with venus feeling at home in his home sign of libra, we should be feeling more at home, more comfortable, in our relationships. they should be feeling less fraught; we should be feeling more appreciated by others & more appreciative of others. we are likely to feel inspired by all things venusian, so let the good times roll, let art be made, let the senses be satisfied.
& 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.
