day 25: Ghana: Nitya of Deconstruction
Om Ghanayai Namaha
Sun: 0 Pisces
Moon: 16 Capricorn, 316 degrees from Sun, Balsamic
Inner Moon: transition between luteal and menstruation
Moon Vibes:
The mystic, deeply sensitive to psychic reality, energetic information, connection with disembodied energy like spirits. Ultra-creative, dream-like visionary with sharp mental acuity. Ethereal quality with little to no ego attachment. This phase relates with Samhain. In tantra yoga, this suryachara, ascending course of Sun, ascending out-breath moving upward from soft palette to third-eye. Relates with last quarter of day time and the element is air. In the hero’s journey, this is where we are sharing and offering the gifts and lessons learned. Preparation phase for the next call to adventure at new Moon.
Moon in Capricorn
- Moon in Capricorn relates with backbone, knees, joints, hair, bones, teeth, nails.
- Capricorn is our structure. Physical and invisible structures like rules that govern our life.
- Moon within 1° of Jupiter in Capricorn today! Perfect day to rewrite your financial plan (or joy, abundance, higher education, adventure plan) with the aid of Moon, feeling, intuition and nurturance. Capricorn likes plans and results, so make a plan with achievable goals. Go big! Expand things on purpose, not randomly. Overeating is a common effect of Moon/Jupiter conjunction.

Astrology info to consider:
Mercury 5° from Neptune in Pisces makes this retrograde period extra dreamy and whimsical. There’s an emphasis on oneness, spirituality, and healing. Pisces is traveling the deep seas of heart. Yours, mine, theirs, the collective heart. During this retrograde, travel light. Carry the wisdom of heart and see what else you actually need. Repurpose the rest.
Menstruation cycle and Moon:
What phase of your inner Moon cycle are you in? What hormones are most prominent? How does this relate with outer Moon’s transition between luteal/last quarter and menstruation/new Moon? Remember, your cycle and Moon cycle do not need to match. Read more about the correspondences here.
Dreams:
After 3 months of offering advice for increasing dream recall and activity, I have a dream medicine to share. Galantamine is recommended in Dream Yoga, by Andrew Holecek. Do your research and develop your dreaming techniques before trying it. I’ve been dreaming on purpose since 2004 and feel quite comfortable in all the phases. Meeting dead people, watching people die, getting close to death myself, learning ego dissolving truths, being lucid, loosing lucidity, waking up crying, and being in periods of time where my dreams where more real to me than waking life. There is a lot to dream reality that can inform and affect your waking reality so don’t jump the gun on trying galantamine or any substance before you feel fully capable without it.
