it’s monday, september 25, & moon is in capricorn, in the starspace called shravana. while sagittarius vibrates with the frequency of hopefulness & inspiration, capricorn vibrates with the frequency of putting our nose to the grindstone, taking action. that’s the contrast between the more ethereal energy of jupiter (sag’s ruler) & the more earthy energy of saturn (cap’s ruler), of tapping into our imagination & then staring reality in the face. it’s not one or the other, but both/&—if we weren’t inspired, we wouldn’t do jack, would we? & if we didn’t have a plan, practical skills, our inspiration would just float above us like a cloud & eventually dissipate, never turn into anything solid. our weekend was half-sag, half-cap—did you notice the shift? how did it play out for you? what action steps were you inspired to take to turn your dream into reality?

shravana is the star of deep listening, of getting quiet enough to go beyond words, beyond all the external noise, to connect to the voice within, to what is eternal, to the truth of who you are. what are you listening to in your life? is it nourishing you, bringing you closer to your divine nature, or further away from it? can you hear the voice of your true inspiration? given that it’s the moon’s day & the eleventh tithi (lunar phase), it couldn’t be a better day to get quiet & see what you can hear.

it’s the eleventh lunar day, the eleventh phase of the waxing moon, which is related to spiritual practices, like, especially but not necessarily, fasting, & today is yom kippur in the jewish tradition, def a day of fasting. fasting is not about suffering, it’s not a punishment, it’s a way to take our minds off the daily so we can connect more deeply with the divine, to undistract ourselves, turn off the noise. if you’re fasting, may it be sweet & easy. if you’re not, may you find another way to simplify your today so you can focus & reflect & feel into the sublime peacefulness at the core of who you are.

monday is ruled by the moon, planet of our intuition, our heart-knowing, which is a direct transmission from the divine. just b/c the divine is transmitting doesn’t mean we’re receiving the signal, or heeding it. so, once again: it’s a good day to work our intuition muscle, listen deeply (!) to our inner knowing, show it some respect.

that’s your daily bliss! which is a sort 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.
