it’s monday, august (yikes! august already!) 2, & moon is in taurus, in the starspace called krittika this morning, then rohini. taurus vibrates with the frequency of comfort. our culture is predicated on keeping us in a state of discomfort, of feeling less than, inside & out, so that we’ll keep buying crap to improve our lives, make us feel better about ourselves, whether it’s another new dress or a bigger house or a more lavish yoga retreat than last time. eventually, but inevitably, we realize that we are the source of our own comfort, that it comes from within not from without. be your own countercultural hero & know that you are enough just as you are! write it on your mirror!
moon is exalted (i.e., acting with super intelligence) in krittika, bringing the lesson of what needs to go, helping us cut (krit) through our negative tendencies, our counterproductive mind-sets. moon is still very happy in rohini, but can feel so happy as to get carried away. you know how it is when you feel so good you forget about boundaries, especially when it comes to your senses, whether they involve bed or other pleasures? yeah, consider yourself warned.
it’s the tenth lunar day, the tenth phase of the waning moon, which supports us in doing our dharma, living our truth, fulfilling our purpose. it also reminds us that if we act in accordance with our dharma, the universe will support us. & when we’re not acting in alignment, the universe will send us messages, perhaps in the form of curveballs, to help us realign, recalibrate.
monday is ruled by the moon, who infuses the day with his special sauce of heart connection, connecting to our own hearts—as in trusting what we feel, feeling into our powers of intuition—& connecting through our hearts to others. if you feel someone in your life straying, or is farther away than your heart desires, imagine golden light extending from your heart to theirs & then see if you can call on the potency of the exalted moon to gently draw them closer, as if you were reeling in a big one (bad analogy for a vegan, lol!).
& that’s your daily bliss! which is a kind of lunar weather report. it is my hope that the daily bliss can help you align with the day’s cosmic energy & find a little more bliss; that it inspires you to enlighten up a little more each day.
