it’s monday, august 21, & moon is in libra, in the starspace called chitra. libra vibrates with the frequency of, yes, you got it, relationships! all kinds. transactional libra is the sign of the merchant, where we exchange money for goods or services, where our relationships are good for me, good for you. for that to happen, we need to be emotionally mature enough to know what our boundaries are & maintain them through honest, open communication. my fave dj, jeremy sole (kcrw.com), who i’ve been listening to for literally decades, shared this quote from “the wholistic psychologist” on insta, backgrounded by henry franklin’s gorgeously healing “soft spirit”:

“unpopular opinion: the greatest threat to humanity is ourselves. our lack of emotional maturity. our inability to communicate effectively. how so few adults can navigate conflict with empathy. … we need healing.”

we heal relationships one conversation at a time, we heal the world one relationship at a time.

chitra is ruled by tvashtar, the divine architect, who could conjure magical objects with the magic of his mind. rama, too, was able to do this. he conjured the mightiest weapons in existence seemingly out of thin air. his brahmastra, the ultimate weapon in the mahabharata, could dry up the oceans, destroy the entire universe. using it required immense knowledge & concentration, as did its creation. how did rama acquire those powers? through mantra, which allows us to harness our mental faculties, & if we have faith & persevere, allows us to transcend the seeming limitations of the material world. if we believe it hard enough, we can make it happen. what would you create if you could harness your powers of mind over matter? are you using those powers? what are you doing to strengthen that muscle, to honor that divine gift?

it’s the fifth lunar day, the fifth phase of the waxing moon, which just happens to be ruled by moon & supports healing. what would feel healing to you today—listening to transcendent music? massage? company? a bath? a stroll in the woods?

monday is also ruled by the moon, planet of connection, which is definitely a form of healing. don’t you feel better when you connect with others, when your heart communicates on a heart level with another being, when you find commonality, share an idea, emotion or experience?

& 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.
