it’s monday, september 1, & moon moves from scorpio & the starspace called jyeṣṭḥā into sagittarius & the starspace called mūla this morning at 8:22 MDT while being supported & transported by nothing, no starspace—yikes! this juncture, or abyss really, between water (cancer, scorpio, pisces) & fire (leo, sagittarius, aries) signs is where planets have to essentially make an evel-knievel-like leap from one to the other, kind of hold their breath & focus all their energy on the feat, so they don’t have much to give us. unresolved karma (there’s always more, no?!) may arise from that abyss & bite us in the you-know-what or stare us in the face.
the transition from scorpio to sagittarius is one from our deepest fears to our highest hopes—the lower we go the higher we get to fly!
jyeṣṭḥā means “eldest” & is ruled by indra, king of the gods, the elder. it invites us to consider & step into our leadership qualities. it can also bring out the perfectionista in us & of thinking we’re more perfect than others; rather than leading with humility, we might turn our role as an elder into an opportunity to criticize others for their imperfections. this asterism brings a lesson about mastering ourselves before we try to master others.
mūla means “root” & is ruled by niritti, one of the fiercest goddesses in the fierce-goddess pantheon. i was def channeling her yesterday as i went on a tear in my yard, ripping out dead growth by the roots—sooooo satisfying! this asterism invites us to yank out the dead growth in our lives, literally & metaphorically, physically & psychically, to make room for something new, better, more aligned with who we are.
me, now i’ve got tons of room to plant bulbs bulbs bulbs! what might you make room for?
it’s the ninth lunar day (tithi), the ninth phase of the waxing moon, which is connected to serpent energy & can help us slither into the nooks & crannies of our psyche, where there’s still karma to work through, to extract the wisdom from it, the lessons it wants to teach us. but/& it is a watery tithi & monday is watery as well, so we do get to beware becoming emotional messes, especially as moon is unsupported this morning.
monday is ruled by the moon, our mental & emotional body, who is passing through that sensitive zone between signs. we may feel particularly vulnerable as it does, so it’s especially important to be gentle with ourselves, don’t be impatient with the journey, the insights. as trevor hall sings, we can’t rush the healing.
& 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.
