it’s friday, august 5, & moon is in libra, in the starspace called vishakha. libra vibrates with the frequency of relationships, whether romantic or familial or business or platonic. &, unlike cancer, which is about giving-giving-giving, libra wants us to give as good as we get & not more. which doesn’t mean we have to be stingy, just circumspect about our relationships being mutually beneficial, mutually satisfying, fulfilling the needs of both/all parties. if there’s an imbalance, we get to right it or move on. while relationships ideally uplift all parties, improve one another’s lives, libra isn’t about expecting/needing others to do our own work, complete us, or be the change agents in our life, it’s about each person showing up fully & bringing their best game.
“if you are searching for that one person that will change your life, take a look in the mirror.”—golden shadow astrology
vishakha is the only nakshatra ruled by two deities, indra & agni, the king & the priest, & represents what can appear to be a fork in the road, with one path leading in a materially exclusive direction & the other in a spiritually exclusive one. but the truth is that we are spiritual beings having a material existence, not sadhus meditating twenty hours a day in caves. (if you are & are reading this, you must have internet in your cave & fallen off the wagon!) the lesson of this asterism is that just as the king needs the priest to bless his work & the priest needs the king’s money to support him, so, too, our lives are based on an integration of the two: if we don’t have a roof over our head & food in the fridge, we can’t do our spiritual work either.
it’s the eighth lunar day, the eighth phase of the waxing moon, which may bring toxic thoughts/emotions, so beware, especially as we’re heading into a scorpio-moon kinda weekend.
friday is ruled by venus, planet of love & relationships & also the ruler of libra. “love is the water of life,” said rumi. are you immersed in that water, are you swimming in its depths more often than not, or are you dog-paddling or floating on its surface? friday is always a great good day to plunge all the way in, feel enlivened & inspired by its transcendent powers.
& 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.
