Go High, Not Low
Moon is in Aquarius + it's Mars' day: Being “for” is much more effective in the long run than being “against”; courage & discipline rather than anger or frustration.
it's tuesday, june 17, & moon is in aquarius, in the starspace (pie slice of aquarius sky) called śatabhiṣak until about 1 p.m. MDT, then pūrvabhādra. aquarius is the sign of technology, networks, innovation & collective ideologies/human systems, & as i mentioned yesterday, rahu, the great disruptor (for better or worse!), is dwelling there now.
protests, like the 4.2-million-strong no kings marches this weekend, are one expression of this disruptive, systems-challenging/-breaking energy. & they can, especially if they're massive, have an impact in a send-a-message way. but/& being "for" something is more powerful than being "against"; positive thoughts-words-actions vibrate at a higher frequency than negative ones; love, joy & gratitude have a high vibe, fear, anger & sadness a low one. i know from experience that it's easy to show up at a protest, voice your "against," much harder to actually take positive action, come up with solutions & work to implement them.
"if you cannot work with love but only with distaste, it is better that you should leave your work & sit at the gate of the temple & take alms of those who work with joy, for if you bake bread with indifference, you bake a bitter bread that feeds but half man's hunger."—kahlil gibran
śatabhiṣak (see yesterday's post for more) invites us to heal or be healed. what can you do to heal, say, someone in your network? what kind of healing do you need? pūrvabhādra brings flashes of insight & inspiration, ultimately, but not necessarily, a glimpse of the true nature of reality& who we really are. wait, you mean this isn't all there is? spoiler alert: yes, that's what i mean! these flashes come in a flash—if you snooze, you lose, so pay attention, be ready to receive!
it's the seventh lunar day (tithi), the seventh phase of the waning moon, which gives us courage & mental steadiness, supports us in taking right action—& if we don't, will let us know. this tithi + tuesday with śatabhiṣak creates a vinasha yoga, a combo for destruction (destroy or be destroyed!), but with pūrvabhādra produces a suta yoga, giving us the ability to extract the juice from life.
tuesday is ruled by fiery mars, who is now dwelling in leo, opposite the moon today. let's do try to keep cool heads & channel his firepower into disciplined, courageous action.
TL;DR
disrupting systems without a plan to build better ones is sad & useless. • heal or be healed, get ready to receive flashes of insight/inspiration. • how might you use destructive energy this morning so you can extract the juice from life this afternoon? • keep a cool head, my friends.
& that’s your daily bliss! IN-joy! 🌗🙏✨
