it’s friday, september 25, & moon is in the starspace called uttarashadha, which occupies the sky-slice where moon will be transitioning from sagittarius in the morning into capricorn in the afternoon. in sagittarius we find inspiration, which gives us hope, a pathway forward.
“i believe we have access to a source of insight unique to each one of us that can inspire and guide what we do. i believe that this source flows like a stream, continually clear and refreshed.” — writer & poet diana durham
capricorn gives us the practical tools to walk forward on that path, to take action steps in alignment with our inspiration. capricorn gives us the discipline & the focus to get ‘er done.
uttarashadha means “later victory” & is ruled by the vishwa devas, the ten universal principles. in mula we yank what doesn’t serve us out by its roots to make space to plant the seeds of what will. in purvashadha we water those seeds with love & devotion. in uttarashadha, what we reap is a result of how we honor, by embodying, the universal forces, which are: goodness, truth, willpower, skill, time, desire, firmness, ancestors, abundance & joy. if you’re harvesting lemons when you thought you’d peaches, maybe you’re dissing one of these gods.
it’s the tenth phase of the waxing moon, which is connected to doing our dharma, doing what’s right for us. which, alas, doesn’t always mean what’s in the best interests of everyone. monsters do their dharma, fulfill their purpose, by being monsters. a teacher i used to study with once suggested that dexter morgan, in the series “dexter” (yes, spiritual teachers watch netflix too!), was doing his dharma by being a serial killer. we can see how actively the monsters in our world are doing their dharma, but if all of us non-monsters do ours, hopefully we will overpower them.
venus owns friday, so carve out some time today to enjoy enjoy enjoy, whatever & however, especially, but not necessarily, if that involves the ones you love.
& 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.
