it’s tuesday, august 2, & moon is in virgo, in the starspace called hasta. virgo vibrates with the frequency of our critical mind’s eye, of seeing where our life could use some improvement & doing something about it. virgo is, among other things, the sign of the healer, so the point is to use our critical awareness not to beat ourselves up, not to point out all the ways we are coming up short, are not perfect, not to be subjectively, mean-spiritedly destructively critical but to be objectively, constructively critical. beating ourselves up puts us in a state of fight-flight-freeze; rather than motivating us to heal, it just makes us feel sicker, less motivated. loving kindness for our selves is a way better motivator than not-loving criticism, cause who feels like doing anything when they feel down, right?
hasta is ruled by savitr, the sun in his aspect as the god of sunrise, who brings the dawning of knowledge & good insights. the word “savitr,” besides referring to the deity, means “to generate” & hasta is symbolized by a hand, through which we generate, make, manifest, do. sooooo, putting it all together: this asterism brings a lesson about our ability to make sh#t happen if we are connected to our inner sun, to the light of inspiration, which can come only from source. one way to access the light within is to chant the gayatri mantra, especially today:
ॐ भूर्भुवः स्वः
तत्सवितुर्वरेण्यं
भर्गो देवस्य धीमहि
धियो यो नः प्रचोदयात् ॥
om bhuur-bhuvah svah
tat-savitur-varennyam
bhargo devasya dhiimahi
dhiyo yo nah pracodayaat ||
earth. space. heavens. we meditate on the divine light of the radiant source. may that inspire our hearts & thoughts.
it’s the fifth lunar day, the fifth phase of the waxing moon, which is related to the moon & healing, which is perfect for practicing self-compassion (which see above), or getting with a hands-on (cause hasta) healing modality like massage or acupuncture or physical therapy, or nurturing yourself in whatever way feels loving to you.
tuesday is ruled by fiery mars, who gets angry (& is brimming with that potential right now) when he’s afraid.
“don’t move the way fear makes you move. move the way love makes you move.”—rumi
& that’s your daily bliss! which is a 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.
