it’s friday, may 15, moon is in aries, moving into the starspace called bharaṇī at 8:45 a.m. MDT, it’s the fourteenth phase of the waning moon & venus’ day.
first off a mea culpa: yesterday was the thirteenth, not the fourteenth, tithi! the thirteenth tithi increases all goodness & decreases all obstacles—did ya feel it, even amid all that other planetary discombobulation? alas, my vedic planner (kind of a datebook with lunar phases & planetary positions) is so covered in sticky notes & scribbles & arrows that i didn’t/couldn’t read straight. but/& gotta say that my whoops! was a great example of what can happen to your mind with moon in gandanta (crossing from a water to a fire sign, when it has no support from a nakshatra), not to mention sun moving signs. apologies!
ok, back to our regularly scheduled program. …
aries is where we get to be our most authentic self, thanks to courage from ruling planet mars, who just stepped into his home sign, bringing his firepower. mars says, go bold or go home.
“to be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest achievement.”—ralph waldo emerson
are you showing up as your most badass self?
bharaṇī (see yesterday’s post for aśvinī) is symbolized by a womb & derives from the sanskrit verb that means “to bear,” as in bearing a child, yes, but/& it is also ruled by yama, lord of death & also of dharma, who knows a thing or two about karma, holds us accountable for our actions, makes sure we bear the consequences of them & decides what our next life will be based on them.
our actions don’t always have the consequences we intended, sometimes they even go way south. it’s up to us to own them (!), apologize (!) & make amends if necessary, pivot.
do you have a whoops! you get to un-whoops!?
the fourteenth lunar day (tithi), the fourteenth phase of the waning moon, supports us in fiercely releasing, burning to ashes, whatever no longer serves us in preparation for the new moon, to create space in which to manifest something new. & i do invite you to read more about this tithi in yesterday’s pos, &/or listen to jaya lakshmi’s perfect song, cause it is so perfect, imo!
friday invites us to be in the flow of venusian energy, which is the energy of our human experience, of our embodied existence, of having senses that allow us to access so much sensory pleasure & the desire to share that pleasure with others. what/who would bring you pleasure today?
FYI: new moon tomorrow, in taurus/kṛttikā, demands its own post—i’ll send that later.
& 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.
