it’s thursday, august 15, & moon is in sagittarius, in the starspace called mula. sagittarius brings relief from scorpio’s emotional turmoil, b/c it is ruled by jupiter (as is today!), who gives us hope, a sense of optimism, by expanding our worldview outward, allowing us to see the bigger picture, the macro rather than the micro. under the sway of sag, we grok that the universe has our back, that we are playing a role in a story beyond our own conception, that a power greater than us knows the whole plot & narrative & is unfolding it for our benefit.
mula means “root” & is ruled by niritti, a fierce aspect of fierce kali. this asterism brings a lesson about yanking out by the roots what doesn’t serve us so we can make room for what does. niritti, like kali, takes no prisoners, thrives on our psychic bloodletting. how ruthless can you be?
it’s the eleventh lunar day (tithi), the eleventh phase of the waxing moon, which supports spiritual practices, especially meditation, finding stillness, the portal into the temple of our true essence.
“the world goes on as it must … but i’m taking the day off. quiet as a feather. i hardly move though really i’m traveling a terrific distance. stillness. one of the doors into the temple.”—mary oliver
thursday is ruled by jupiter, who gives us faith, which, like wi-fi, is invisible but has the power to connect us to what we need. may you find your hotspot today!
bonus track 1: speaking of wi-fi: i’m going camping & hot-springing (under a bright moon!) for a few days, b/c i’m an orophile, the mountains are my sweet spot, & will be without, so i’ll catch up with you all on tuesday.
bonus track 2: sun moves into leo tomorrow. sun is our soul(ar) battery & he unplugs (disconnects from wi-fi!) while moving signs, so we can feel underpowered as well. it’s a good idea to cut ourselves a little slack expectationwise, or, um, spend the day in the car driving to a remote mountainous region!
bonus track 3: full moon alert for monday! in aquarius, in the starspace called dhanishtha. start thinking about how you might have fallen out of step with your inner drummer & how you can get back in tune, find your rhythm again, for the waning lunar fortnight.
& 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.
