it’s thursday, october 14, & moon is in capricorn, in the starspace called shravana. capricorn is ruled by saturn, who i always think of as a stern old man, wagging his finger at us & reminding us that we don’t have all day, that time is running out, the clock is ticking, that life will whoosh by in a flash, that we shouldn’t put off until tomorrow what we can do today. he means well, has our best interests in mind, is just sharing his wisdom from the vantage point of age. we’d do well to listen to him.
shravana brings the lesson of, um, listening deeply, to be the listening, of getting so quiet that we can be fully present to what’s in our heart, to what’s arising in the moment. if we are in the intention to listen, we are out of the intention to think. thinking takes us out of the present moment into the past or the future, which is, alas, where most of us spend most of our time. practice being the listening today & let me know how that goes!
it’s the tenth lunar day, the tenth phase of the waxing moon, which is connected to doing our dharma, being in righteous alignment with our highest nature & acting accordingly. we don’t all have huge callings. not all of us are going to, say, be able to solve the problems of climate change. for some of us showing kindness to a stranger might be why we are here, might be our dharma. that offering from a place of love & connectivity might change someone’s life, might pull them back from the brink.
“let yourself be silently drawn by the stronger pull of what you really love.” — rumi
our true essence, the essence of who we are, is love. if we let love guide us, we can’t go wrong, we can’t miss doing our dharma.
thursday is infused with the flavor of jupiter, planet of growth & expansion. jupiter wants us to step into our bigness, our bigness of spirit not of ego, by growing our wisdom muscle, connecting us to sources, whether books or classes or experiences or people, that challenge us, stretch us, make us think, shift our perspective, inspire us. playing small doesn’t serve anyone, starting with ourselves.
& 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.
