it’s monday, september 14, & moon is in cancer, in the starspace called ashlesha. (&, whoops, yesterday moon was in pushya, not punarvasu!) under the sway of cancer, we feel into our true nature, which is peace & love. this can make us feel vulnerable, can make us feel that we’re losing ourselves. but all we are losing is our ego’s concept of who we are. when we feel truly nurtured, loved unconditionally, there is no fear, only relief to be able to let go & truly be. cancer invites us to nurture others as we would have been nurtured, to hold space for others, accept them as they are, allow them to feel free to let go & just be.
the nakshatra ashlesha reveals the part of cancer that becomes emotionally entangled, that loses sight of what’s real & what’s imagined, of what serves our highest purpose & what is distracting us from it. usually what distracts us are our attachments to material desires, to thinking/feeling that their achievement is going to fulfill us—especially that that person is going to be the one, the one who makes us feel whole or truly loved. but i don’t have to tell you how wrong-headed & wrong-hearted that path is. the highest expression of ashlesha is entanglement with pure, unadulterated love, like the love a mother, whether human or nonhuman animal, has for a child or the love for god/truth.
it’s the twelfth phase of the waning moon, which is associated with the sun, our consistent source of light & magnanimity. that light allows us to clarify our own vision & then shine it out into the world—the more we shine, the more we light others up & give others permission to shine. for whom can you be a klieg light for today, put in the spotlight at center stage, celebrate & support?
monday is the moon’s day, & given the influence of ashlesha, we could find ourselves clinging to toxic emotions, drowning in a sea of negativity. so let’s not!
& that’s your daily bliss! which is a kind of lunar weather report. the moon is our consciousness & i hope that by unpacking the cosmic forces influencing it every day, you’ll be better able to understand & thus lean into its ever-changing vibrations & use them to your advantage.
