it’s wednesday, october 13, & moon is in capricorn, in the starspace called uttarashadha. after the hopefulness of sagittarius, capricorn vibrates with the frequency of practicality, of being disciplined about the inspiration we gained over the past two days, the clarity we received, & bringing it down to earth, taking action steps to infuse it into our lives.
uttarashadha is the counterpart to yesterday’s purvashadha (see that post for more) & they’re connected to the idea of invincibility by the elephant tusk that represents them, one for each asterism. what’s more invincible than an elephant with two ginormous tusks?! whereas the invincibility in purva comes from our own efforts, in uttara it comes when we call in, allow ourselves to receive, help from all the universal forces, from all the superpowers, of which there are myriad, at our disposal. ask & ye shall receive! the universe/spirit/god does have our back!
it’s the eighth lunar day, the eighth phase of the waxing moon, which is ruled by the eight vasus, the creative forces of life: the three gunas (tamas, rajas, sattva) & the five elements (earth, water, air, fire, ether). everything in material existence is composed of the gunas & elements, just in different combinations, including us. some of us have, say, more tamas or more rajas, but we all need tamas to go to sleep at night, rajas to wake up, sattva to sit on our meditation cushions. some of us are more grounded (have more earth element), some more emotional (have more water element), but we all have earth & water. & we all fluctuate: sometimes earthy people feel more fiery, sometimes the more ethereal among us feel more emotional. it’s interesting to notice how the vasus are manifesting & whether you need to/want to tweak the ingredients in your personal daily recipe, shift your energy, calm yourself the “f” down or motivate yourself the “f” up, whether, say, more meditation or more coffee would be helpful so you can achieve, so you can manifest, what you desire.
wednesday is infused with the special sauce of mercury, master of words & ideas. as the great sage robin williams said, “no matter what people tell you, words & ideas can change the world.” feel free to go out & uplift/uplevel the world today!
& that’s your daily bliss! which is a kind 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. may it inspire you to enlighten up a little more each day.
