it’s friday, october 15, & moon is in aquarius, in the starspace called dhanishtha. aquarius vibrates with the frequency of wanting to improve the world around us, to selflessly serve, to do what we in the yoga world call seva. after being under the sway of capricorn, we feel grounded enough in ourselves to look beyond, to the world, under the sway of aquarius.
as the sanskrit goddess manorama says, “seva is a practice of being so grounded in yourself that you have the real strength to give beyond your own personal self.”
seva can mean anything from buying a homeless person a meal to volunteering at your child’s school to marching for human rights to building houses with habitat for humanity. what’s calling you today? how can you smack down with the strength of your humanity in service to all of humanity?
dhanishtha is represented by a flute or a drum & brings the lesson that we are vehicles for creation, for producing something from vibration just as these instruments produce music. everything in the universe is sound/vibration, starts with sound. in shravana (see yesterday’s post for more) we learned to listen; now we are empowered to manifest from what we heard, to put our individual stamp on sound/vibration—think smaller scale big bang!
it’s the eleventh lunar day, the eleventh phase of the waxing moon, which is, in the yoga world, considered a fast day—not fast as in don’t go slow, but fast as in don’t eat, so you can focus on your relationship with god, the divine. doesn’t mean you have to fast. i don’t. but if you’ve gone off the spiritual practice wagon, you are well supported today to get back on it.
friday is infused with the flavor of venus, who loves love. as the buzzcocks (remember them?) sang, “life’s an illusion, love is a dream.” & as oscar wilde said: “yes: i am a dreamer. for a dreamer is one who can only find his way by moonlight, and his punishment is that he sees the dawn before the rest of the world.” we have to dream it to make something a reality, & what better to dream into reality than love? wishing everyone sweet dreams! enjoy the moonlight!
& 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.
