it’s thursday, august 24, & moon is in scorpio, in the starspace called anuradha. scorpio, where the moon is debilitated, feels lost at sea, vibrates with the frequency of emotional instability, of our most irrational fears & paranoias (is paranoia ever rational?!). it’s the dark & cloudy night of our soul, where our internal waters rumble & roil. on the flip side, scorpio invites us to courageously dive into our psychic depths, face our fears, for scorpio is ruled by mars, the spiritual warrior, vanquisher of darkness. a warrior isn’t fearless, a warrior is a warrior b/c she/he/they act despite being afraid AF, b/c a warrior knows that:
“without a cloud, there will be no rain; without rain, the trees cannot grow; & without trees, we cannot make paper. the cloud is essential for the paper to exist. if the cloud is not there, the sheet of paper cannot be here either. so we can say that the cloud & the paper inter-are.”—thich nhat hanh
a warrior knows there is no light without darkness, no sunshine without rain; a warrior embraces both, b/c both inter-are.
anuradha is ruled by mitra, the divine friend, which is what radha was to krishna. this asterism gives us the power of devotion in friendship, inviting us to be as devoted to our people as radha was to krishna & to be so honorable that our people are similarly devoted to us—for there to be right relationship coming & going.
it’s the eighth lunar day, the eighth phase of the waxing moon, which is the birth tithi (lunar phase) of both lord krishna & goddess durga & is ruled by the vasus, the three gunas (tamas, rajas, sattva) & five elements (earth, water, air, fire, ether)—the building blocks of all creation. what can you manifest with the love & compassion of krishna & the compassion & fierceness of durga?
thursday is ruled by jupiter, who connects us to our big “S” self through wisdom sources. wisdom is like kryptonite for the small self. while kryptonite disempowered superman, took his bigness away, it has the opposite effect on us—it allows us to expand our perspective on our life, realize that there is something bigger at play, that we are part of something bigger, allows us to feel truly superhuman, b/c we are!
& 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.
