it’s wednesday, february 28, & moon is in the starspace called chitra, which will support & transport moon from virgo into libra around 8:30 a.m. mountain time. having taken care of life details, we get to be sociable, focus on the people in our lives. whether those people are friends or lovers, family members or business partners, libra wants there to be a balance of give & take between us & them, def doesn’t want the scale to be weighted on one side.
chitra means “bright,” “brilliant,” like gems, which are formed over time & under intense heat & pressure. chitra is ruled by tvashtar, the cosmic artisan who created objects that were useful & beautiful & that endured. this asterism reminds us that we are the diamond that started out as a lump of coal & to keep applying heat, to keep polishing.
it’s the fourth lunar day (tithi), the fourth phase of the waning moon—yes, still, so the possibility of feeling thwarted is still at play. feelings become thoughts, & once they do we can shift them, which then shifts how we feel. which is to say that we can turn obstacles into opportunities—it’s up to us & this tithi will support us in that upleveling effort.
wednesday is ruled by mercury, whose key word is “communication.” while there are many ways to communicate, mercury is fond of words & using them wisely.
“a single word can brighten the face / of one who knows the value of words. / ripened in silence, a single word / acquires a great energy for work. / war is cut short by a word, / and a word heals the wounds, / and there’s a word that changes / poison into butter and honey. … / know when to speak a word / and when not to speak at all. / a single word turns the universe of hell / into eight paradises.”—from “the drop that became the sea,” by yunus imre
how can you use your words today to transform someone’s reality? & guess what? b/c words are energy, they will transform yours as well.
bonus track: there is an exact conjunction of sun, saturn & mercury today, so it’s an especially good day to think before you speak, maybe hold your tongue if possible, not let your fears get the better of you. you may also feel energetically blah. this too will pass!
& that’s your daily bliss! which is a sort of lunar weather report. may it allow you to align with the day’s cosmic energy so you can find & create a little more bliss.
