it’s monday, september 28, & moon is in aquarius, in the starspace called dhanishtha until late morning, then shatabhishak. aquarius creates an environment in which we feel connected to everyone & everything, & feel a sense of responsibility to make the world a better place as a result. in the book “refuge,” terry tempest williams relates a conversation she had with a kikuyu woman, who said, “my people believe if you are close to the earth, you are close to people.” she explains that by nurturing the soil, respecting & honoring the land, women are able to grow food for their families & ultimately nurture their community.

“because we have forgotten our kinship with the land, our kinship with each other has become pale. we shy away from accountability and involvement,” she says of life in america.

if you are feeling disconnected from your people, from community, try feeding someone, like a bird (which i did yesterday at finch lake in rocky mountain park; see pic of my grateful friend! bonus points if you know that bird’s species!) & see if that isn’t the medicine your heart needs.

dhanishtha (see yesterday’s post for more) invites us to consider what makes us feel truly wealthy, truly abundant. shatabhishak is the nakshatra of healing, of the healer, & invites us to think outside the box, to be open to alternative medicines & therapies. love can be a most effective drug & it’s one we all have in abundance, in endless supply. it can cure so much of what ails us & others.

it’s the thirteenth lunar day, which is associated with kamadeva, the hindu cupid, which means love is in the air, fulfilling desires is in the air, fulfilling your desires with the ones you love is in the air, is supported. if you feel something, say something!

monday is the moon’s day, a day to feel into our emotional body, to connect to our heart, where the feeling mind lives. you know that expression “i just knew it in my heart”? that’s what today’s about. what do you feel to be true? what truths are your emotional body revealing to you?

& 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.
