it’s monday, april 22, & moon is in virgo, moving from the starspace called hasta into chitra any minute. earthy virgo (how appropriate that today is earth day!) vibrates with the frequency of grounding our lives, with solidifying our foundation. virgo invites us to focus on the micro, take care of the myriad deets that allow us to live our lives, wants us to balance checkbooks, pay bills, clean out gutters & pick up yard detritus after a late spring snow, put seeds in the garden, give away clothes, scrub floors, make dental appointments, recommit to healthy eating & exercise habits, etc., etc., etc.
chitra is ruled by vishvakarma, the divine architect, who famously created things that were both useful & beautiful, like rama’s pushpaka vimana, the seven-story flying palace that transported & supported him in battle (see pic). don’t ask me how that thing got off the ground, but, hey, turkeys fly! this asterism reminds us that our greatest, most useful & beautiful, creation is ourselves, & that it’s a lifetime’s work. how’s that project going?

it’s the fourteenth lunar day (tithi), the fourteenth phase of the waxing moon, which is the penultimate tithi before the full moon, tomorrow, in libra, so we are probs full to bursting somehow, some way. me, i’m just back from several days at a path of love retreat, so i am full to bursting with admiration & gratitude for all the courageous souls who did the deep work that allows their most authentic selves to emerge from the shadows of limiting beliefs & for the profoundly intimate connections that are magically created when we can be vulnerable enough to let ourselves be truly seen.
monday is ruled by the moon, who is changeable by nature, is always waxing more, as it is now, or waning more, & represents our emotional body, what’s going on inside, which is always changing, right? i mean, one minute we feel this, the next that, isn’t it? the key is to flow smoothly from one emotion to the next without getting stuck, without attaching, identifying with it. can you feel sorrow without being sorrow? can you be a river rather than be drowned by it?
& 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.
