Keep the Channel Open
Moon is in Aries + it's Mercury's day: Make a fresh stab at owning your uniqueness & remember that the art of communication involves at least as much listening as talking.
it's wednesday, december 11, & moon is in aries, in the starspace (pie slice of aries sky) called ashwini (& i'm back after a wee migraine break—ugh!). aries vibrates with the frequency of beginning again, of feeling a renewed vigor & vitality (like, um, when you wake up after sleeping off a headache & the meds you had to take for it!) about stepping into your authenticity & of taking action as a result.
"there is a vitality, a life force, 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 never exist through any other medium; & 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 urges that motive you. keep the channel open."—martha graham
ashwini invites us to charge ahead with all the horsepower under our hoods & also reminds us to focus it, to look where we're going & know where we're going, not to race ahead like wild stallions simply enjoying the thrill of the wind in their manes, their muscles contracting & releasing, sweat gleaming their bodies. horses are related to prana, our inner winds, so it's a good day to do some pranayama, balance your inner winds, so you are aligned & focused.
it's the eleventh lunar day (tithi), the eleventh phase of the waxing moon, until midday, then the twelfth. the eleventh tithi supports prayer, keeping our channel open to the divine, the twelfth our prayers being answered. how hard, how sincerely we pray, how open we are to receive, dictates how & if our prayers are answered.
wednesday is ruled by mercury, the poster boy for communication, which involves at least as much listening as talking, if not more. each of us wants to be heard, isn't it?
“the act of listening is perhaps the best we can do for each other.”—nick cave
how's about doing that best thing for someone today? i'm pretty sure it'll be a win-win!
TL;DR
it’s a new day to be your newest, bestest self. • be bold but look where you’re going. • your prayers will be answered according to their sincerity. • take a page from nick cave’s book & gift someone the gift of being heard.
& that’s your daily bliss! IN-joy! 🌓🙏✨
