it’s tuesday, october 4, & moon is in capricorn, in the starspace called uttarashadha. capricorn vibrates with the frequency of our commitments, especially to our goals, of how much focus & discipline & perseverance we bring to them. with cap’s ruling planet, saturn, having been retrograde for the past (wow, it seems like forever, no?!) few months, we’ve had plenty of time to reflect on what we’re committed to, to reassess our goals. of course, which area of life that pertains to is unique to each of us depending on which house saturn has been hanging out in. (you can always ask me if you don’t know.) if, say, you’re a leo, you have been reflecting on the hard work of relationships & whether it seems worthwhile. anyhoo, the good news is that saturn will be going direct on october 22, so things will start to move forward, but it also means we’ve only got a bit more time to ponder how we want to do so.
uttarashadha is the counterpart to yesterday’s purvashadha, which revealed the seed of potentiality within us dying to come into full fruition. uttarashadha brings a lesson about, yes, committing to the nourishment of that seed. it’s one thing to have an intention, another thing to actually do what you intend to do.
it’s the tenth lunar day, the tenth phase of the waxing moon, which is related to dharma. dharma can be translated as being in righteous alignment with truth, with the truth of who we are, to not try to be who we think others want us to be, to not hew toward an adharmic cultural narrative. which isn’t easy, but who ever said the dharmic path was easy?! as ralph waldo emerson said, “to be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.”
tuesday is ruled by mars, who is the part of us that gets angry. what, you don’t get angry? awesomeness! but venus is combust now & for the foreseeable future, which means that all things venus are getting put through the fire of purification, so for those of us who do get angry, it’s important to be mindful lest we accidentally blow up at our people b/c we’re being super critical.
& that’s your daily bliss! which is a 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.
