it’s monday, april 26, & we’ve got a full moon tonight in libra, in the starspace called swati. the full moon, which is the halfway point in the lunar cycle that started two weeks ago with the new moon, is opposite the sun in aries. the sun gazing with full force at the moon is what makes it full, allows all of itself to be seen, reveals our most lunar proclivities, maxes out our feeling nature, which is why we often/usually feel like we are bursting with emotion of one sort or another in the build-up & over full moons.
sun in aries is about expressing our individuality, moon in libra about creating harmony between ourself & others. we need to show up in our power in relationships but not overpower others. it’s a dance, a balancing act, which is reflected in the symbol of the scales associated with libra. so this is a good time to notice whether it’s been too much “all about me” lately & whether the relationships in our life have suffered as a result. relationships are not static, life is not static—we are constantly being invited to reassess & readjust, to correct our course.
when sailing, on the actual ocean or the ocean of life, it’s most efficient to go with the wind, not against it, to harness its power. libra is an air sign & the asterism swati is connected to air through its deity, vayu, god of the wind. who also happens to be hanuman’s father. & it happens to be hanuman jayanti today, the birthday of lord hanuman, who, in case you don’t know it, was the general of a monkey army. monkeys are associated with discursive thoughts—you’ve certainly heard the expression “monkey mind.” thoughts ride on prana, on our inner winds, but hanuman was able to harness the power of an army’s worth of those thoughts & focus it to serve his lord, rama, to whom he was utterly & totally devoted.
so with this full moon we are being asked to examine how we are using our prana, who or what we are serving, & whether we are using it to create greater connection or separation in our relationships. remember: thoughts become words become actions.
jai hanuman!
& that’s your daily bliss! which is a kind of lunar weather report. it is my hope that the daily bliss can help you align with the day’s cosmic energy & find a little more bliss; that it inspires you to enlighten up a little more each day.
