it’s monday, august 16, & moon is in scorpio, in the starspace called anuradha. scorpio vibrates with the frequency of our woundedness, of not being able to just let our emotions be, feel them, but having to make up stories about them & what they mean, deepening rather than healing our wounds. it might help to remember that we’ve all got wounds, that none of us are alone, that even tho our wounds feel especially special, they’re not, really. we’re all in this together. hopefully a little perspective will take some of the sting away.
going a little off-script to say that today just might be a day, b/c a quadrumvirate of challenging cosmic forces are at play. for one thing, we have moon in scorpio, where it is debilitated, as in, not expressing its most intelligent & resourceful nature. moon is our ability to feel good, so when it’s debilitated, well, we can go to dark places. for another thing, sun is moving into leo midday. sun is our power source, & when sun moves signs our battery goes into the red zone until it gets settled, which can take a day. then there’s venus, who just wants us to be happy & is also debilitated. & as if not feeling good or happy & having no energy weren’t enough, it’s the ninth lunar day. so do be gentle with yourself, do cut yourself a whole lotta slack today. find ways to love on yourself so you don’t fall into the trough of despond.
anuradha, which is ruled by mitra, the divine friend, brings the lesson of being like (anu) radha, being devoted to another (aka krishna) without attachment, without wanting anything in return. this may be easier to practice with our animal companions than with our human ones, since we are conditionally relational beings, not gods, but that doesn’t mean we can’t try.
it’s the ninth lunar day, the ninth phase of the waxing moon, which is related to toxic energy that can be turned into wisdom—by facing our shadow, owning our wounds, we start releasing their negative influence & can eventually heal ourselves.
monday is ruled by the moon, who wants heart connection with others—see if feeling your relationships hard doesn’t ameliorate the challenges of today.
& 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.
