Be Wise, Not Otherwise
Moon is in Sagittarius + it's Jupiter's day: It's a double-good day to zoom out, expand your perspective & be hopeful.
it's thursday, june 12, & moon is in sagittarius, in the starspace (pie slice of sag sky) called mūla until midmorning, then pūrvāṣāḍhā. sagittarius vibrates with the frequency of the big picture. it's where we zoom out & stop fretting the small stuff (we did enough of that in scorpio, no?!), which is not to emotion-shame anyone (including myself!), just to remind that these hiccups (which, yes, i know, don't feel like hiccups in the moment) are in service to, don't define, our overall purpose on this planet. sag invites us to shake off any lingering stress & trauma like cats, dogs, even polar bears do, so we can move forward with more wisdom, in an inspired, hopeful way.
mūla brings a lesson about un-chaos-ing our life, decluttering on any/all levels. "they" say our physical/external environment reflects our psychic/internal one: what does yours reflect about you? does it reflect who you are/want to be? no judgment. (full disclosure: i'm a kali girl, & kali likes it messy—that's how i roll!) pūrvāṣāḍhā means "early" (pūrva) "victory" (aṣāḍhā) & brings a lesson about invincibility, about nurturing that seed/that dream within us that wants, like an acorn, to become a magnificent oak tree. which means being able to go the distance. which means not being short-sighted, not being focused on quick results, not being so optimistic that we don't really do the work, make effort. what is in you that's dying to see the light of day, that is dying to be shared with the world?
it's the second lunar day (tithi), the second phase of the waning moon, which gives us the confidence to fan the spark of our full moon inspiration, encourage it to spread & grow, take up space in the world. kinda like nourishing the seed, the acorn, within us!
thursday, like sagittarius, is ruled by inspirational, hopeful, optimistic, expansive, wise jupiter, whose sanskrit name is "guru." guru is the one who dispels our ignorance, destroys (ru's) the darkness (the gu) & thus brings the light, expands our perception of reality, of the world & how we fit into it.
"nobody is a fool & nobody is wise. it is the space, which makes you foolish or wise. if you have space within your mind, then you become wise, & if you have no space in your mind, then you become 'otherwise.' "—shri brahmananda sarasvati
TL;DR
shake it off like a polar bear so you can move forward. • declutter home & head; nourish the seed within. • fan the spark of your full moon inspiration into flames visible to the whole world. • embrace the light.
& that’s your daily bliss! IN-joy! 🌕🙏✨
