it’s tuesday, april 28, moon is in virgo, in the starspace called uttaraphālgunī until about 11 a.m. MDT, then hastā, it’s the thirteenth phase of the waxing moon & mars’ day (& i needed an extra day of gentleness with myself after an intense & intensely gorgeous deep dive into the nature of compassion over the past five-ish days, so thanks for your patience).
virgo, the sixth sign/house of the natural zodiac, vibrates with the frequency of getting ahead of debt, disease & deterrents. in fact virgo’s mantra is pretty much “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” ruled by meticulous mercury, virgo time is an opportunity to meticulously clean up our act so we can stay healthy in body-mind-soul, to organize & uplevel the physical, material, emotional, spiritual, whatever components of our life.
how’s your diet? your meditation practice? your exercise regimen? when was the last time you looked at a bank statement? have you been procrastinating cleaning the gutters, making a dental appointment, booking a massage?
uttaraphālgunī is ruled by aryaman, the sort of cosmic lawyer who blesses agreements/contracts (especially but not necessarily for marriage) made with everyone’s highest interest in mind (& heart), guarantees prosperity/wealth as a result. this nakshatra reminds us that choice is ours, as are the results of those choices, so it’s best to make conscious, intentional ones.
hastā is ruled by savitur, the vedic sun god, who illuminates with his rays, brings clarity, gives his light generously & reminds us that that’s how we, too, are invited to roll—to send our light out, share our gifts without attachment, to offer with open hands (hasta = “hand”), imagining our fingers as the rays of the sun. how can you embody that generosity, that not holding anything back?
the thirteenth lunar day (tithi), the thirteenth phase of the waxing moon (only two tithis away from the full moon—can you feel it?), is ruled by kamadeva, the hindu cupid, who may stir up relationship energies. its planetary ruler is jupiter, the guru, who connects us with our own inner knowing, our intuition, whether related to partnerships or not.
& this tithi + hastā + tuesday produces an amrita yoga, a combination that yields the nectar of immortality, as in everlasting prosperity, positive results from today’s endeavors.
tuesday is ruled by mars, our inner (& outer) action hero. with moon in virgo & hastā, it’s a good day to use your hands to take action, & tuesday is always a good day to get in your body, move energy by running or doing asana (mars is also your inner yogi).
& 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.
