Service, Not Servitude
Moon is in Aquarius + it's Mars' day: Take your responsibility as part of society seriously, act with courage & discipline.
it's tuesday, may 20, & moon is in aquarius, & will be in the starspace (pie slice of aquarius sky) called shatabhishak as soon as i post this. aquarius vibrates with the frequency of the collective, of society, of all humanity, of the groups & networks we belong to. ruled, like capricorn, by saturn, planet of responsibility, aquarius invites us to extend our sense of responsibility out from ourselves to the world beyond our front door, whether that means our neighborhood, town or city or the entire planet. the symbol of this sign is a man holding an empty water pot: is the pot empty b/c the man has just happily shared all he had with others from a feeling of abundance, or is the pot empty b/c the man feels empty, unseen, unresourced? the key to aquarius is humble service, not self-negating servitude.
shatabhishak is the star of healing & of thinking outside the box to heal. ya know, like maybe my illness is stress (which can mean emotional or physical trauma) related. maybe energetically related. maybe my reference point is wrong & i'm not really sick at all.
"is society healthy, that an individual should return to it? has not society itself helped to make the individual unhealthy? of course, the unhealthy must be made healthy, that goes without saying; but why should the individual adjust himself to an unhealthy society? if he is healthy, he will not be a part of it. without first questioning the health of society, what is the good of helping misfits conform to society?"—krishnamurti
it's a good day to tap into alt healing practices, including a shift of perspective, which might include being proud not to fit in—misfits unite!
it's the eighth lunar day (tithi), the eighth phase of the waning moon, which is the halfway point in moon's monthly cycle, when moon is half light, half dark, when the forces of chaos & creation come into balance/harmony. but/& before they do there is conflict, so we may experience inner battles, our light side duking it out with our dark side. our work is to remember that the one informs the other, that it's not all light or all dark but both &.
tuesday is ruled by mars, who gives us "courage," "discipline" & "action," which can be internal or external. how might you act with courage & discipline today?
TL;DR
share what you can from a place of abundance, not depletion. • not fitting in just might be a sign of health. • embrace your light & your dark sides. • courageous, disciplined action is on the menu today.
& that’s your daily bliss! IN-joy! 🌗🙏✨
