it’s tuesday, september 1, & moon is in aquarius in the starspace called shatabhishak, where it will be full full full tonight. the full moon marks the halfway point in the lunar month & sets the tone for the completion of the cycle over the next two weeks. what began with the new moon energy in leo is harmonized by the full moon energy in aquarius. leo’s energy was about the personal, aquarius’s is about the collective, about humanity, about the world.
so now we ask ourselves, how, after we reestablished our individuality in leo, we can use that groundedness in self to make a difference in the world. mother teresa sagely said that we can’t all do great things, but we can all do small things with love. small things add up, just like pennies (remember them?) in a jar can eventually add up to a $100. imagine what a difference we could make if we each did one small thing every day! need some ideas? check out “50 ways to help the planet” for some simple ideas that can be done with love.
shatabhishak is the asterism of 100 (shat) healers (abhishak) & is ruled by the deity varuna, who had 1,000 eyes. thus, this full moon invites us to use the power of our vision to not only heal the world but also to heal ourselves. illness, whether personal or public, is always caused by an imbalance of some kind, so we get to use the laser focus of our insight to scan for where it might be lurking, where we might be out of alignment, where the world might be (well, that’s obvious, no?!), & take appropriate healing measures. which might involve, say, taking care of our physical health by going for a hike under the full moon tonight!
tuesday is ruled by mars, who is stationing in aries right now. which means he’s about to go retrograde, move backward but is stuck, fixated, right now, now going anywhere. which means that our inner mars might be feeling fixated/stuck, which could lead to frustration, fire power with nowhere to go, & thus explosiveness. we must take care not to explode.
& 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.
