it’s sunday, november 3, & moon is in the starspace called uttarashadha this morning, then shravana this afternoon. both nakshatras belong to capricorn, so we’ll be feeling displined & serious regardless, focusing our attention on the immediacy of our personal lives. capricorn is where we make commitments based on the inspiration gained from sagittarius, where we set boundaries to create a container in which to manifest what we hope to achieve.
uttarashadha brings us victories by helping us to develop the highest qualities of character. how do we develop those? through relationship, by being aware of how others feel, of how we treat others. we have to remember that what we reap, we sow—if we sow resentment & criticism, it will boomerang back to us. the christian mystic florence scovel schinn wrote: “man picks up a live-wire whenever he criticises or condemns, & may expect a shock.” of course, sometimes we need to be shocked out of our bad behavior!
get enough shocks & we begin to suspect that we just might be heeding the wrong inner advice, that we might not really be listening, might not really be in alignment with our dharma. shravana invites us to get quiet, get so quiet that we can listen to the wisdom that lies within, in our innermost selves, the wisdom that is often buried beneath the noise of everyday life, the noise of fear & anxiety & just trying to keep up.
“as in music, when we hear the crescendo building, suddenly if the music stops, we begin to hear the silence as part of the music.” — chogyam trungpa
what do you hear when you let the music of your life fall away, when it becomes background rather than foreground, when you can’t even hear it anymore?
the seventh lunar day becomes the eighth early afternoon, which means that the morning’s energy is about feeling like a king (ie, like the sun!), feeling the freedom to roam throughout your realm, & the afternoon’s is about connecting to what you value & creating from that place. what do you truly value? how does that feed your creativity?
sunday is of course the sun’s day, so it’s always a good day to get out in it (if the sun is shining where you are) & soak up those solar rays, be like the soul(ar) battery you are. sun is our sense of personal power & if yours is feeling a little depleted right now that’s b/c sun is still in libra, which is his least-happy place, but this will soon(ish) pass.
& that’s your daily bliss! jyotish, vedic astrology, is the science of light. if you want to shine more light on your life, contact me for a session! ~.~
