it’s thursday, august 10, & moon is in taurus, in the starspace called rohini. taurus is the second house of the natural zodiac, which means the zodiac that begins in the sky with aries, not the one that begins for each of us with our rising sign. the second house is associated with, among other things, our values—what we value & how we feel valued, which are often mirrors of each other. if you’re not sure what you value, look around you, see with what & whom you surround yourself. with taurus’s ruling planet, venus, retrograde now, it’s a great opportunity for us to reassess our surrounds—our relationships, our stuff, how we are spending our money—make sure they reflect our highest, truest values.
rohini means “reddish one” or “growing one” & is ruled by prajapati, the creator of all living creatures. this asterism gives us the power of fertility, the power to grow whatever we desire—red is, after all, the color of passion! we just have to be mindful not to arouse unwanted passion, i.e., jealousy, in others, to not flaunt our abundance, the gifts prajapati bestows on us.
it’s the tenth lunar day, the tenth phase of the waning moon, which supports us in doing our dharma, fulfilling our soul purpose. you might say that our dharma is relative & absolute. on a relative level, we each have a unique dharma, whether that’s to be teachers or accountants or parents or just to be in our joy & spread that joy to others. on an absolute level, our purpose, our dharma, is the same for all of us, “to become conscious of our natural union with all of existence,” said shri brahmananda sarasvati.
thursday is ruled by jupiter, who gives us our beliefs, which give us a sense of purpose, a container within which to live our lives. we have all kinds of beliefs about all kinds of things, including, perhaps especially, about ourselves. what do you believe about yourself? how do those beliefs serve you? do they allow you to experience your life as extraordinary or merely ordinary? which would be more fun? “our beliefs are so powerful,” says jodi chapman. “when we focus on our positive & empowering beliefs, we open the door to miracles.” what miracles might you be blessed with by bringing all of your intention & attention to your most positive beliefs?!
& 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.
