it’s wednesday, august 9, & moon is in taurus, in the starspace called krittika. after the fiery, active, external energy of aries, we get to just be, enjoy the fruits of all our doing, in taurus; for taurus vibrates with the frequency of our comfort zone, of wanting to just be comfortable. while the environment of taurus encourages us to feel into our material comfort, all the good stuff we’ve got in our lives, the ultimate goal is santosha, a sanskrit word that implies contentment despite our external circumstances, feeling calm & peaceful within regardless of what is or what we have. how’s that going?
krittika is ruled by agni, the sacred fire of purification & transformation. this asterism gives us the power to burn & destroy, to turn the impurities of our life into ash, destroy what doesn’t serve the highest expression of ourselves. the invitation is to perform an inner puja, to toss whatever is poisoning our lives into the fire, offer it up to god/dess. what can you offer up today?
it’s the ninth lunar day, the ninth phase of the waning moon, which brings in serpent energy & supports acts of destruction (like agni burning stuff up). serpents are not mere snakes but “represent all the transformational electrical forces of the cosmos from the material level to that of pure consciousness,” says dr. david frawley, aka pandit vamadeva shastri. how can you use the doubly potent energy of asterism & tithi (lunar phase) to destroy your enemies, like your, um, limiting beliefs, transform that poison into a higher state of consciousness, of being?
wednesday is ruled by mentally dexterous & curious mercury. “i would rather have a mind opened by wonder than one closed by belief,” wrote gerry spence, who famously won the karen silkwood case. note that both signs mercury rules, gemini & virgo, are opposite the two signs jupiter rules, sagittarius & pisces. mercury invites fact-gathering & discriminating intelligence, jupiter faith pure & simple. when signs are opposite each other, it’s an indication that our work is to harmonize their polarity. in the case of mercury’s & jupiter’s rulerships, we get to bridge the divide between what we know to be true & what we just believe, so that our beliefs are based in fact not fantasy. wednesday is a good day to receive new intel so we can incorporate it on thursday, jupiter’s day.
& 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.
