Adult Up & Dance to Your Own Beat
Moon is in Capricorn + it's Moon's day: Get serious & get compassion.
it's monday, may 19, & moon is in capricorn, in the starspace (pie slice of cap sky) called dhanishtha. capricorn, where moon has been since midday saturday, vibrates with the frequency of hard work, making effort, getting serious about the business of our lives, making a commitment to our long-term goals, to what gives our life meaning, taking practical action steps to achieve them, ground them, literally, b/c cap is an earth sign, wants solidity, wants to bring the ephemeral/amorphous down to earth, make it real, tangible. capricorn is ruled by old man saturn, who reminds us that there are only so many grains of sand in our hourglass this time around, so best not to waste any of them, to be mature, adult up. now.
dhanishtha means "wealthiest" & is symbolized by a drum. after spending five days doing a deeeeeep dive into shadow with twenty other curious & courageous souls (not the first time at that rodeo for me!), i can tell you that true wealth, at least for me, comes from being authentic, which fosters powerful aliveness. that allowing yourself to dance to your own drummer, owning & playing your drum, & being witnessed brings a sense of wealth that is as bottomless as mary poppins's magic carpet bag, constantly replenished abundance.
for thoreau, "books [were] the treasured wealth of the world," b/c of their value as sources of knowledge, culture & wisdom. what makes you feel wealthy, abundant, richer than rich? how do your source & resource abundance? do you dance to your own beat or let others dictate the rhythm?
it's the seventh lunar day (tithi), the seventh phase of the waning moon, which—well, well, well—is ruled by merciless saturn, whose purpose is to keep us on track, remind us of our duties, responsibilities & pending debts. &, if we need reminders, which we often do, you can be sure he'll send a message or messenger to deliver them. this tithi may also bring us to our knees (check!) to teach us humility, how to surrender, as it did indra, who is associated with this lunar phase. on the upside, the combo of this tithi + dhanishtha + monday creates the superpower of accomplishment, which should make saturn very, very happy.
monday is ruled by the moon, whose key words are "connection," "compassion" & "love." compassion creates connection. connection creates love. "friendship is the purest form of love," said osho.
TL;DR
we get only so many grains of sand in our hourglass—best not to waste any. • never-ending abundance is an inside job. • if you get off track, expect a message to get you back on. • “love,” “compassion” & “connection” are the key words for monday.
& that’s your daily bliss! IN-joy! 🌗🙏✨
