it’s monday, august 26, & moon is in taurus, in the starspace called rohini. taurus vibrates with the frequency of our comfort zone. it’s where the stuff of our lives creates a cozy container for our existence & we can sink into it, as if it were an overstuffed couch, & feel safe. it’s also where we can feel sooooo safe, sooooo cozy that we don’t wanna do anything, where we can feel stuck—i mean, you know how hard is it to extract yourself from that deep, puffy couch, right? & note the word “stuff.” taurus can make us preoccupied with stuff, with more, better, newer, bigger, brighter stuff, with thinking our stuff, which entails endless desire, endless chasing to fulfill it, is the source of our happiness. spoiler alert: it’s not! true comfort is an inside job.
rohini is moon’s favorite place, where moon feels most comfortable, so best able to express its creativity, which is underscored by being ruled by brahma, the creator of all that is. the hitch is that brahma created rohini, his daughter, along with everything else, & then fell in love with her. whoops! it’s a good day to own your magnetism & powers of fertility but/& maintain boundaries.
it’s the eighth lunar day (tithi), the eighth phase of the waning moon, until about 3 p.m. MDT, then the ninth. the eighth tithi is the halfway point of moon’s journey between, in this case, full & new, when moon is half light & half dark, equally balanced between these two opposing forces; the ninth when the balance tips away from full toward new, when darkness begins to overcome lightness. support comes when we can embrace both our shadow & our light, feel into how the one informs the other, how we are not one or the other but both &. it comes when we can turn our shadow into wisdom by acknowledging it, by understanding that it has a purpose, something to teach us.
monday is ruled by moon, who is all peace & love & wants to spread that peace & love. how to do that? well, why not start your day by thinking, as sadhguru has suggested, “wherever i go i will create a peaceful, loving & joyful world”? b/c thoughts become words, which become actions. thoughts are our secret superpower!
& 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.
