it’s tuesday, august 25, & moon is in the starspace called anuradha, which occupies a sky-slice of scorpio. scorpio is where our inner moon can get confused, tossed & turned this way & that on its dark, choppy waters; where we can feel emotionally like eco-challengers lost in the jungles of fiji despite our stellar navigational skills, unable to get our bearings. knowing where that squiggle on the map leads for sure is awesome, but sometimes we gain new insights & experiences by taking a path untaken, being able to embrace the unknown.

“to me, confusion is more valuable than certainty. certainty is mediocre, certainty is stupid. certainty simply means that you don’t know. only a person who is very ignorant can be certain.” — osho

anuradha is ruled by the deity mitra, the divine friend. it is said that there are four ways to relate to god, to the divine: as a parental figure, as a friend, as a lover, or as a child. the invitation here is to connect to god, whatever that means to you, as a friendly energy (or being, if that’s your jam), to know that you can ask for support if you need it, b/c like your best friend, the divine always has your back. &, conversely, for you to relate to others as a divine friend, as if you were everyone’s bestie & had everyone’s best interest at heart. that’s your emo-challenge for today.

it’s the eighth lunar day, which is associated with how & what we create vis ả vis the five elements (earth, water, fire, air, ether) & three gunas (tamas, rajas, sattva). can your efforts to manifest benefit from, say, more grounding (earth), more inspiration (fire), more dialogue with others (air), more emotional truth (water)? do you need to slow your roll (tamas), give yourself a nudge (rajas), or ask source what the heck your next step is (sattva)?

tuesday is mars’s day. mars is in aries, where he is feeling all fired up. which means we are. the best use of mars’s firepower is to burn away, destroy, our own weaknesses. make sure to keep that fire directed & contained! clear the brush around you!

& that’s your daily bliss! which is a kind of lunar weather report. the moon is our consciousness & i hope that by unpacking the cosmic forces influencing it every day, you’ll be better able to understand & thus lean into its ever-changing vibrations & use them to your advantage.
