it’s tuesday, august 8, & moon is in aries, in the starspace called bharani. in the environment of aries, we get to be “all about me,” which is how we make our mark in the world, stake a claim to our niche. we can also be unconsciously ruthless, single-minded in the process—like the ram who represents this sign, we can just put our heads down & go as if we had blinders on, heedless of who or what we are, um, ramming into, or out of our way, in the process. so do take heed, look both ways lest you cross someone or something.

bharani means “to bear” & reminds us that all creative endeavors, especially but not exclusively the creation of life, bearing children, involves consequences. consequences involve taking responsibility for our actions & mitigating or making amends for them if need be.

it’s the eighth lunar day, the eighth phase of the waning moon, which also supports creativity—& let’s face it, everything is shakti, the creative principle of manifestation.

tuesday is ruled by mars, as is aries, & is in leo, both of which are fire signs. mars is our inner & outer action hero—he loves to fight the good fight, get shit done, loves to be in his body, get physical. given all that, it’s a double- (triple-?) good day to take bold action steps about what fires you up or to use your fired-up engine to go for a run (or SUP) or, um, perhaps gather up the tasteless apples that are littering your yard & are candy for the bears!

bonus track: not only is moon in bharani, but so is jupiter, which can help us overcome envy & jealousy, perhaps brought on by dissatisfaction, which, ya know, could def be a thing during this crazy six-month venus cycle, especially now with venus’ retrograde, when we are noodling over, perhaps obsessing over, our relationships past & present. but/& jupiter is tightly aspecting (sending his love bigly) to mars over in leo, so def mitigating our potential to get fired up about how others have or are treating us & bringing some high-mindedness to the equation instead. we get to remember that we are always the common denominator in relationships & we call in people who are vibrating at a similar frequency. if we’re not happy with the ones in our life, maybe we should take responsibility for our part & focus on raising our own vibration, yes?

& 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.
