it’s monday, august 1, & moon moves from leo into virgo late morning while being supported & transported by the starspace called uttaraphalguni. the transition from the fiery, masculine, sattvic energy of leo into the earthy, feminine, tamasic energy of virgo means we’ll go from being inspired (fire) to take action (masculine) toward what’s in the highest interest (sattva) of our kingdom to reflecting on (feminine) & worrying about (tamas) the foundation (earth) of it. we go from the macro to the micro; from the greater vision to the minor details; from being rulers to maintenance workers. as we come under the sway of virgo we grok that the metaphorical walls of our castle will crumble if we don’t keep them in good repair.
uttaraphalguni is ruled by aryaman, the god of contracts, & is known as the marriage star. this asterism brings a lesson about alliances—romantic, social, business—established with joy, from a place of love, that benefit both (or all) parties. we get to make sure that the contracts we make with, the commitments we make to, others are in everyone’s best interests; we get to negotiate until that is so, until everyone’s future happiness is ensured to the best of our ability.
it’s the fourth lunar day, the fourth phase of the waxing moon, which is related to both yama, the god of death/endings, & ganesh, the god of obstacles. which means: we may feel thwarted, especially if we resist what is, like letting go of something that needs to go, that just isn’t working for us. & we get to take heart from the fact that while ganesh is the lord of obstacles, he puts them in front of us so we can evolve, by, for example, coming up with creative workarounds to overcome them or by shifting our perspective—seeing them as opportunities rather than punishments.
monday is owned by the moon, our feeling nature. moon wants us to feel our feels, b/c the more we feel, the deeper we can feel, the more we can expand the spectrum of our feeling nature. & the depth of our feelings, not our mind/ego, is what leads us to truth. it’s a good day to tell your mind to take a hike & allow yourself to feel what’s true for you.
& 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.
