it’s monday, august 7, & moon is in aries, in the starspace called ashwini. how was your pisces-moon weekend? was it full of surrender, of dropping in? or was it full of dropping out through sensual indulgences? no judgment! regardless, it was hopefully the end of something so that you are ready to begin again in aries, which vibrates with the frequency of starting over, of making new, great strides into being all we can be, of doing all we desire to do, of being our outrageously unique selves. as sir laurence olivier said, “don’t be afraid to be outrageous; the critics will shoot you down anyway.” what would you do, how would you express yourself, how would you show up, would you be able to own center stage, if what anyone else thought was the last thing on your mind?
ashwini is ruled by the ashwins, twin horse deities, & gives us the power to get shit done, achieve our goals. horses are powerful (think “horsepower”!) & also represent prana, our vital life force. “horses are all heart & confidence,” said sir larry, the jockey “intelligence & humility.” we get to be both horse & rider. (& no, i am def not condoning horse racing—it’s just a metaphor!) in fact, we have to be both if we are going to get where we mean to. we are going to have to be very agile jockeys to keep heart & intelligence working in tandem, to keep both horses synched rather than straining to go in different directions.
“all motion, either in the body or anywhere, is the work of this prana,” said as swami vivekananda.
it’s the seventh lunar day, the seventh phase of the waning moon, which is connected to indra, the famous king of the gods whose infamous flaw was hubris, too much ego, i.e., lack of humility. we need ego to get ourselves outta bed every day & motivate us to get shit done, but not so much that we get a big head about it. as you-know-who said (yes, it’s a sir larry kinda day!), we need “the humility to prepare & the self-confidence to bring it off.” it’s not one or the other, but both/&.
monday is ruled by moon, who gives us the power of intuition, which gets more powerful the more we use it. it’s a good day to trust your heart-knowing, to work that muscle, strengthen it.
& 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.
