it’s tuesday, august 24, & moon is in pisces, moving from the starspace called purvabhadra into uttarabhadra just after sunrise. pisces vibrates with the frequency of cosmic unity; it is where we want to merge with all that is, or at least feel what that feels like. b/c, really, most of us don’t want to leave this plane of existence, blast way off into inner space. but many of us do at least want a taste of it.
purvabhadra (yikes! moon has been here since yesterday morning—apologies for blowing past that!) & uttarabhadra are (i’m sure the “bhadra” is a dead giveaway) a pair of asterisms that bring auspiciousness or blessings (bhadra); purva sooner, uttara later. & that blessing is truth, with a capital T. both asterisms have serpents (nagas) as their ruling deities, both of which are connected to rudra energy. rudra is said to be the progenitor of shiva, lord of destruction. what we want to destroy, what we are here, in this lifetime, to destroy, are our illusions about who we be. purvabhadra gives us a lightning flash of realization, uttarabhadra gives us the grace to let go & be transformed by it.
god, when i
cross the
truth, give me
the awareness
to receive it
the
consciousness
to recognize it
the presence to
personalize it
the patience to
preserve it
and the courage
to live it

it’s the third lunar day, the third phase of the waning moon, which supports us in being flexible, in pivoting, going in a different direction, totally rethinking a project if need be. if something isn’t working, can you let go of your idea about how you wanted it to be or thought it ought to be & be open to a new way of moving forward?
tuesday is ruled by mars, who gives us our courage & ability to take action. with fiery mars still in fiery leo, we may be feeling, um, on fire to get sh@t done. or is it just me, b/c i’m a leo? or those of you mars-ruled scorpio or aries people? anyhoo, with mars it’s important to direct our firepower, to think before we unleash it, to take intentional, positive action steps rather than unintentional & harmful ones.
& 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.
