it’s thursday, october 19, & moon moves from scorpio into sagittarius about 9:30 a.m. MDT, which involves leaping across the border between the starspace called jyeshtha & mula, so let’s do mind that gap this morning when the moon, & thus our mental-emotional body, will feel unsupported. meanwhile, while watery scorpio vibrates with the frequency of our deepest, darkest emotions, fiery sagittarius vibrates with the frequency of our brightest, most illuminating inspiration. & one usually follows the other, isn’t it? sagittarius is like the life raft thrown to us that saves us from being tossed around by scorpio’s ferocious seas. for sag gives us perspective, insights into why we get to experience what we do—the good, the bad & the ugly. as the ninth sign of the natural zodiac, it is a house of dharma, of higher purpose, of our connection to god & guru, the understanding that the universe has our back, that all is unfolding just as it needs to for our soul evolution.
mula (see yesterday’s post for jyeshtha) is ruled by fierce niritti, who invites us to yank out by the roots (mula = “root”) whatever is, like weeds, denying our soul nourishment, taking up too much actual or metaphorical space. what needs to go? how can you declutter your physical or mental/psychic space today?
it’s the fifth lunar day, the fifth phase of the waxing moon, which supports & inspires us to nourish (!) what we want to grow, create, achieve. the quality of this tithi (lunar phase) is called lakshmi, which derives from the sanskrit root laksh (लक्ष्), “to perceive, observe, know, understand, goal, aim, objective.” goddess lakshmi famously emerged from the milk ocean knowing without a doubt what she wanted, exactly what her objective/goal was—vishnu!—& claimed him by placing a garland of flowers around his neck. how clear is your goal? is your aim true or have you lost focus? are you ready to claim it, commit fully to it?
thursday is ruled by jupiter, whose sanskrit name is guru, the one who brings wisdom that enlightens us up, gives us a big picture view of our life, & who happens to not only rule sagittarius but also the fifth tithi! so it’s a triple-good day to connect to those who bring us wisdom or to their teachings, to sacred scripture or otherwise inspiring or uplifting texts—even an awesome quote from a thought leader (or, um, cartoon) counts!
& that’s your daily bliss! which is a sort 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.
