Stillness Is the Portal to You
It’s Thursday, August 15, & Moon is in Sagittarius, in the starspace or Nakshatra 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.
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!
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.
