Inspiration + Action = Success
It’s Friday, September 13, & Moon is in Sagittarius, in the starspace or Nakshatra called Purvashadha until 10 a.m. MDT, then moves into Uttarashadha, which will support & transport moon into Capricorn. Sagittarius is the sign of inspiration, Capricorn of getting serious about what inspires us. Sagittarius is where we dream, Capricorn where we make that dream a reality, manifest. Soooo, keep dreaming your dreams for most of the day, being open to receiving, & then decide which dream is worthy of bringing down to earth, resonates the most, & start planning accordingly; for it’s going to be a Capricorn kinda weekend: how are you going to smack down, take practical action steps?
Purvashadha brings a lesson about the first steps necessary for achieving victory, Uttarashadha about the next steps. Purva helps us declutter physically, mentally, psychically to create room for something new; Uttara to nurture that something new, which might mean asking for help, delegating. What are you trying to grow? What resources are you lacking? Who has them? Where can you find them? Ask & ye shall receive!
It’s the tenth lunar day (tithi), the tenth phase of the waxing Moon, until 11 a.m., then the eleventh. The tenth supports re-upping our commitment to our dharma, the eleventh our commitment to practices that allow us to be more mindful, more present, so, for example, we are aware when we fall off the dharma wagon. Reliving the past, worrying about the future is not being present. It’s a good day to meditate, to find stillness.
“Most people treat the present moment as if it were an obstacle they need to overcome. since the present moment is life itself, it is an insane way to live.”—Eckhart Tolle
Friday is ruled by Venus, planet of love & harmony, which with all the verbal & physical saber-rattling, we need now more than ever. What is the matter with people—i.e., government people, who could, if they really wanted to, make love, or, ok, at least make nice, not war? Oh, yeah, there’s that power thing.
“When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace.”—Jimi Hendrix
Bonus track: the variables of Venus’ day, the Ashadhas & the eleventh tithi create potent combos for achieving our goals today, so do take advantage of that energy. What would you really really really wanna accomplish?
And 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.
