it’s tuesday, august 16, & moon is in pisces, in the starspace called revati, as i write but is moving, actually leaping, into aries & the starspace called ashwini in a couple of hours. i say leaping b/c there is no starry bridge connecting the two signs, which means we will feel unsupported emotionally & mentally. & as if that’s not enough, sun is also moving, & also leaping, from cancer into leo, again without the safety net of a starry bridge. the sun is our soul(ar) power, our sense of identity, so we may be feeling wobbly about who we are & what we can do today as well. we’ll be affected by that transit through tomorrow. & as if that’s not enough, we’re going to get some solar flare action to spice things up even more. so we are all advised to hold our horses, not leap to act, watch our impulses, mind our minds, mind the gap & be in the pause, be the pause, cut ourselves some slack, be gentle as “f” with ourselves.
the shift from pisces to aries is one from the feminine, watery, sattvic into the masculine, fiery, rajasic, from feeing & being into acting & doing, from being one with all to being the one, from the end to the beginning, death to rebirth, which is kind of (!!!) a seismic shift!
revati brings a lesson about being shepherded gently toward our final destination & being shepherds for others, being guided & supported & guiding & supporting others. ashwini brings a lesson about holding our horses, not charging ahead without gathering & focusing our forces, coordinating our energies, about not being led astray, distracted, letting our energy be dispersed.
it’s the fifth lunar day, the fifth phase of the waning moon, which supports us in being as gentle as the moon with ourselves, with being nourishing & healing, whatever that means for us—maybe walking along the animas river if you, like me, happen to be in durango this afternoon. i always find moving bodies of water incredibly healing & calming.
tuesday is ruled by mars, who gives us the firepower to act but can also make us act impulsively out of anger, so, given all the cosmic activity, let’s be especially mindful today about not doing that, ok?
& that’s your daily bliss! which is a 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.
