it’s wednesday, october 9, & moon will move from the starspace called dhanishtha (see yesterday’s post) about 11:30 mountain time this morning into shatabhishak, which occupies the middle portion of aquarius. aquarian energy invites us to realize that we each have a role to play in something larger than ourselves, whether immediately larger like our family, or a little larger like our community, or massively larger like the global village. aquarius invites us to positively impact social or political or cultural structures. could be a day to, say, go hear the candidates for your city council tell you how they’re going to keep your city frack-free & promote affordable housing!
shatabhishak means 100 doctors/healers, but it can also mean the opposite, 100 demons. what is healing but being able to transform our demons, whether physical or emotional or spiritual, use them to cure ourselves—that’s how vaccines & homeopathy work.
what is dis-ease but not being at ease, not at ease in who or how we are, often because we deny a part of ourselves or are afraid to be fully seen. or, as is all too common in the spiritual-sphere, we think devotion to meditation or krishna or whatever avenue is the cure-all, that if we can just sit on our cushion longer or chant harder or offer more pujas & finally see the face of god, all will be well. but while we are essentially spiritual beings, we have a lot more going on. if we cannot, as integral philosopher ken wilber puts it, not only wake up, but grow up, clean up & show up, we are not living our full human potential, we are not expressing our max authenticity. if we cannot look at our shadows & embrace them, as shatabhishak invites us to do, but instead deny them, try to hide them in the dark corner of an interior closet, we cannot fully show up & be fully seen & thus be fully impactful. time to acknowledge our dark parts—hey, everyone has them!
it’s the twelfth phase of the waxing moon, which is connected to the sun, who gives us clarity of vision & the energy to act on it.
wednesday is ruled by mercury, who is feeling pretty blissful these days while he hangs out in libra. which means your mind should be feeling pretty calm, your negative & positive thoughts balancing out so you can move forward from a place of mental serenity—maybe be able to look at your shadows without self-judgment.
& that’s your daily bliss! jyotish, vedic astrology, is the science of light. if you want to shine more light on your life, contact me for a session! ~.~
