it’s monday, september 7, & moon is in aries, in the starspace called bharani. aries is action- & desire-oriented & so we feel inspired to get ‘er done, to pursue our pleasures. which is all well & fine, but while aries loves to charge ahead, taking a step back if necessary, rethinking actions? not so much. so we are beholden to try to think before we act, to use our foresight to scan the place our next step is going to land, what its repercussions might be, so that we don’t get stuck in a quagmire or hurt anyone’s feelings.
the asterism bharani means “to bear” & is represented by the yoni, the female reproductive organ. the yoni is the gateway between spirit & form, it is the vessel through which spirit takes form, through which the soul becomes manifest as a human. the yoni represents the pregnant void out of which all creation springs. without emptiness, without that void, “we are clogged & unable to give birth to music, love, or kindness,” writes wayne muller in sabbath. it’s in the pause that the magic happens, that the magic has room to happen. what is on the precipice of being born in you, from you, if you only give it the space to be born? what might be waiting on the other side of that doorway to be manifest like a soul coming into its next incarnation?
it’s the sixth phase of the waning moon, which is associated with kartikeya, siva’s youngest son, who was a celebrated general b/c of all of his victories. today is a good day to celebrate your victories, to do a happy dance b/c of all the foes you have vanquished—all those negative & self-defeating beliefs.
monday is the moon’s day, an opportunity to turn the brain off & really feeeeeeel, especially if you tend to overuse the left hemisphere of your brain, if you tend to use logic & structure to navigate the world. mondays invite you to connect to the world through your emotional body, through your intuition, by what your heart tells you to do.
& 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.
