it’s tuesday, august 10, & moon is in leo, in the starspace called purvaphalguni. in the environment of leo we want to feel into & express the power of our authenticity, like a king, like the lion in the jungle. this is not where we play small. but it is also where we don’t play so big that we bust our britches. this is where we express healthy ego. yeah, in case you thought ego was a “bad” thing, just try getting out of bed without one. if you didn’t have an ego you wouldn’t be reading this. ego motivates us to live & thrive. the kingly energy of leo motives us to not just live & thrive but to realize that by doing so we enable others to live & thrive, that we have a responsibility to enable. this is healthy enabling! sooooo, if you can step into your power in a healthy, loving way today know that you are allowing other people to do the same. way to roar!

purvaphalguni brings the lesson that even a king gets a day off, gets to rest on his/her/their laurels, enjoy what they have created. this is my birth star & a jyotishi once told me that it could be characterized as a cat in a hammock. now, i LOVE kitties, but i was stung by the notion that i might be lazy, b/c being lazy is one of my wounded beliefs. but the thing is, we are all way more productive when we give it a rest, do take a timeout from doing. so feel free to “do” that without guilt today.

it’s the third lunar day, the third phase of the waxing moon, which invites us to be flexible, pivot, readjust, embody our gumby-ness.

tuesday is ruled by mars, our fighting spirit. ultimately we want to fight our limiting notions of self, wrestle our wounded beliefs to the ground, rather than pick fights with other real, live people. i know it’s hot out there, but if you notice that you are hankering for a fight, take that energy outdoors & go for a run or hike or swim or paddle, pull some weeds or clean out the basement.

& 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.
