it’s wednesday, april 13, & moon is in leo, in the starspace called purvaphalguni. leo is ruled by the sun, which consistently & magnanimously shines its light—even when we’re asleep. in the environment of leo, we, like its ruling planet, want to shine our light, be as big & bright as the sun. like the best kings/queens/quings, like true servants of the people, we want to step fully & confidently into the radiance of our power so others can do the same.

all that said, sun is betwixt & between right now, moving from pisces into aries, where he will be for the next month. like anyone moving into a new house, or even into a vacation rental, he’s not here or there yet, & when he gets there late tonight he will have bags to unpack, have to figure out where to put his stuff, how to make his new digs work. which means, especially for those of us leos (!!!), we may be feeling a little less confident than usual. but this too will pass & as sun is exalted in aries, we should all be feeling supercharged with that luminary’s intelligence & ready to shine brighter than bright soon enough!

purvaphalguni brings a lesson about the need to recharge, put our feet up, take a break from our duties, rest on our laurels, enjoy the fruits of our labors. & with sun in the process of moving houses/signs, today (& tomorrow too!), we have the perfect excuse to cut ourselves some slack, take a beach or ski day if we can.

it’s the twelfth lunar day, the twelfth phase of the waxing moon, which is, like leo, connected to the sun, so we get to double-down on sharing our gifts, being lights for others in our lives.

wednesday is owned by mercury, the ur-communicator, the part of us that wants to share ideas, engage in conversation with others, speak our mind. if mercury is strong, in our chart or in the sky by transit, we will use our words wisely, to uplift rather than criticize or blame, we will take the other person’s ability to receive into consideration, we will listen, not monologue or lecture. to tap into mercury’s strength, before we open our mouths, we can ask ourselves, “how will my words make the other person feel about themself?”

& that’s your daily bliss! which is a kind 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. may it inspire you to enlighten up a little more each day.

jyotish, vedic astrology, is the science of light. if you want to shine more light on your life, please contact me for a session. ~.~
