Keep the Channel Open
Moon in Pisces + Tuesday is Mars' day: Have the courage to dive deeper in rather than be a coward & check totally out.
it's tuesday, november 12, & moon is in pisces, in the starspace called uttarabhadra. pisces vibrates with the frequency of our cosmic existence, of who we are beyond this mortal coil. we can touch this place in deep meditation or during orgasm or with drugs (plant medicine or party drugs). we all make contact with what lies beyond when we close our eyes & go to sleep. yesterday a client emailed me about a powerful dream he had, which he had interpreted as boding well for the coming week—may it be so! do you pay attention to your dreams or ignore them? get insights from them & let those insights inform your life?
uttarabhadra is—duh!—the counterpart to yesterday's purvabhadra. whereas in purva, if our channel was open, inspiration was sparked, uttara invites us to put our nose to the grindstone & kindle that spark.
"there is a ... quickening that is translated through you into action, & b/c there is only one of you in all time, this expression is unique. & if you block it, it will ... be lost. the world will not have it. it is not your business to determine how good it is, nor how valuable it is, nor how it compares with other expressions. it is your business to keep it yours clearly & directly, to keep the channel open. you do not even have to believe in yourself or your work. you have to keep open & aware directly to the urge that motives you. keep the channel open."—martha graham
it's the twelfth lunar day (tithi), the twelfth phase of the waxing moon, which is said to be the birth tithi of gentle, flexible, easygoing mercury, which is why it is the most pleasant & conflict-free lunar day. for other reasons, it also practically guarantees spiritual or material wealth in alignment with our vision. are you clear on your vision?
tuesday is ruled by mars, who gives us martha-graham-esque courage to do what's hard, not easy. it's easy to, say, check out by indulging in party drugs or sex or alcohol. it's harder to check deeper in, to consciously explore the innermost realms of our psyche, of our spiritual existence. pisces gives us a choice—what'll it be?
bonus track: mars (i.e., tuesday) + uttarabhadra creates all kinds of juiciness to keep obstacles at bay & get 'er done, so do take advantage!
TL;DR
are your dreams mere entertainment or do they yield useful insights? • run with your inspiration—don’t worry about whether it’s “good” or not. • grow your vision. • be martha-graham-esque courageous today!
& that’s your daily bliss! IN-joy! 🌖🙏✨
