it’s tuesday, april 19, & moon is in scorpio, in the starspace called anuradha. moon is debilitated in scorpio, which means that rather than getting its positive effects, which include feeling peaceful & emotionally calm & stable, connected to one & all, we are inclined to feel the opposite—clingy & fearful, emotionally turbulent & disconnected. under the sway of scorpio our shadow comes out to taunt us & we get to remember that we’re the boss of us, including of our shadow, that if we don’t own it, it will own us. sooo, what’re you gonna do about that today?
anuradha is ruled by mitra, the divine friend, & brings a lesson about devotion & friendship, about whether we see our friends as godly beings, just as radha saw krishna (aka the supreme beloved). who or what are you devoted to & does that devotion come from connection to the divine or to ego? is that devotion selfless or selfish? does it uplift, enlighten up one & all?
it’s the fourth lunar day, the fourth phase of the waning moon, which can bring a feeling of heaviness, of obstacles, like we have to move heavy furniture all by ourselves. but if we can see obstacles as gifts, as opportunities to evolve, stretch ourselves, step more fully into the truth of who we are, then i say, bring them!
“obstacles become blessings with the right angle of vision. try to understand your life’s lessons & persevere, while humbly seeking shelter of the supreme beloved within your heart.”—radhanath swami
tuesday is owned by mars, who can be a hothead, act without thinking, or with blindered single-minded focus, leave pain & suffering in his wake, not consider whether the end justifies the means or even care if it does. there seems to be a whole lotta callous indifference by a few power-mongering hotheads going on now—note the word “few”; putin does not have a monopoly on grave indifference, on hotheadedness, on collateral damage, on brutality. we must be vigilant to falling prey to that energy, make sure we pause & think lest we further incite them to blow our world up, literally or metaphorically, lest we contribute to the pain & suffering & inhumanity.
& 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.
