it’s sunday, september 6, & moon is in aries, in the starspace called ashwini. aries is the first sign of the zodiac, & so we begin again. we are always beginning again, we always get to begin again from wherever we are. creation is an “ongoing story of new beginnings, of opportunities to begin again & again,” writes wayne muller in his beautiful book sabbath. “god began to create, is still creating; nothing is finished. creation continues to arise out of emptiness, take form, & dissolve over time, dust to dust, returning to emptiness. all life arises & falls away in this beautiful, fruitful rhythm.”
i don’t know about you, but sometimes when i’m working on a project & i get stuck, i put it aside & pick it up a few days (or weeks!) later & am able to begin again, with fresh inspiration. what or how can you begin again today?
the asterism ashwini brings horsepower to our day, can have us chomping at the bit, dying to burst out of the gate (sorry, terrible metaphor b/c horse racing is animal cruelty, plain & simple). this energy is also connected to our prana, our life force, which, um, rides on our breath. if we can breathe, stay connected to our inhales & exhales, while we charge forth, we can channel this horsepower; otherwise we might feel like our horses are running away without us, that our energy is ill spent.
it’s the fifth phase of the waning moon, which supports nourishing ourselves through healing routines—god meditation? got asana? got a juicer ready to squeeze a healing tonic out of some fruits & veggies? personally, i am feeling utterly nourished after totally unplugging yesterday, but i’m sure i can find yet another way to nourish myself!
sunday is—duh!—the sun’s day. the sun brings clarity to our vision, so sunday is a great day to soak up those rays (literally—yes, do get out in the sun if you can, if it’s not too hot where you are—or metaphorically) & get clear about our intentions for the week so we can take positive action steps.
& 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.
