it’s tuesday, september 29, & moon is in aquarius, in the starspace called shatabhishak the first half of the day, then in purvabhadra. under the sway of aquarius, our sense of responsibility expands beyond ourselves & our immediate circle of family & friends. we want to make a difference in the world, in big & small ways. we can’t take on the whole world by ourselves, but we can do something. we can affect the hearts of one or two or three or ten people through small acts, like writing postcards to voters, encouraging them to vote.
“we don’t set out to save the world; we set out to wonder how other people are doing & to reflect on how our actions affect other people’s hearts.” — pema chodron
shatabhishak is the nakshatra of healing & healers (see yesterday’s post for more)—where can you put your curative powers to work this morning? purvabhadra straddles aquarius & pisces, transforming the humanity-oriented energy of the former into the cosmically-oriented energy of the latter. in the aquarius portion of this starspace we feel one with all beings, understand that we are all the same. in the pisces portion we understand that we are part of something even bigger than that. in aquarius we see god in everyone; in pisces we see god everywhere, we are ready to release the final dregs of ego binding us to the illusion that there is anything but god.
it’s the fourteenth lunar day, which means we’re building toward a full moon, in pisces, tomorrow night. if you are up to your eyeballs with emotion, if your passions are strong, that’s not surprising, especially b/c pisces is a water sign & water is all about our feeling nature.
mars rules tuesday. mars is the warrior within, the part of us that courageously dispels our negative beliefs, that fights the good fight. in the epic “the ramayana,” the warrior heroes rama & lakshmana are described as having greatness shining “from their bodies like light from the sun.” on a scale of 1 to 10, how bright is your greatness shining?
& 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.
