it’s thursday, august 18, & moon is aries, in the starspace called bharani until midday, then moves into krittika, which will transport & support the moon as it moves into taurus late afternoon. did you navigate all that? see if you notice the shift from the fiery, masculine, rajas of aries into the earthy, feminine, tamas of taurus, from wanting to show up bigly to wanting to curl up with yourself & take a rest from all that showing up bigly. under the sway of aries we are motivated to want to achieve more, under the sway of taurus to be content with what we’ve got, with what we’ve done, with what we’ve done has got us—to paraphrase sinéad o’connor, we do not want what we do not have.
bharani, which is ruled by yama, god of restrictions, brings a lesson about bearing the consequences of our actions. krittika, which is ruled by agni, the primordial god of fire, brings a lesson about purification through the fires of knowledge & experience. in short: bharani invites us to take responsibility for our actions, krittika to deepen that self-understanding/-awareness through discipline, by being willing to offer up, let go of, torch, incinerate, turn to ash what isn’t in the interest of our soul purpose.
it’s the seventh lunar day, the seventh phase of the waning moon, which supports egolessness. of course we need an ego to get us out of bed every day & move through the world, but we don’t need it to bogart all the credit, get a big head about it. &, actually, if we are humble, more will come, we’ll accomplish more.
thursday is owned by jupiter, planet of wisdom, who, in his highest expression, at his most intelligent (yes, planets can be kinda dumb, as in ignorant, just like us), inspires us to realize that we are free beings of blissful consciousness. bliss doesn’t mean we’re so happy we can’t contain ourselves, that we want to dance down the aisles of the grocery store or on top of a table in the brewery—altho feel free to do so if that’s what calls you! bliss “just” means a state of loving acceptance of what is, is unfolding in any given moment, like sipping an awesome cup o’ joe. on a scale of 1 to 10, how blissful do you generally feel? how blissful do you feel right now?
& 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.
