it’s tuesday, december 14, & moon is in aries, in the starspace called ashwini. aries vibrates with the frequency of charging ahead, starting over, beginning projects, exploring uncharted territory. like a ram, under the sway of aries, we want to do things in a big, bold way, make our presence undeniably known. we want to be a leader not a sheeple. also like a ram, we may keep our head down, not look where we’re going, act without thinking about the consequences. so let’s look up from time to time to make sure we’re not leaving havoc in our wake.
ashwini is ruled by the ashwin kumara, who were, yes, doctors, as i mentioned yesterday, but they were also horses. horses represent our senses. a team of horses has to work like a team—if they pull in opposite directions, they’ll never get us anywhere. the lesson here is about controlling our senses, whence our desires; to keep them reined in, to make sure we’re the deciders not them. we get to have & fulfill our desires as long as we do so intentionally, consciously.
it’s the eleventh lunar day, the eleventh phase of the waxing moon, which, i just learned from my friend malini, is said to be the day vishnu woke from his slumber & the doors to the heavenly realm opened. the eleventh tithi is associated with fasting & other spiritual practices that increase our receptivity to divine intervention, our ability to connect to the highest. malini also shared that fasting on this particular ekadashi (eleventh lunar day), the one right before winter solstice, has the power of fasting on all 23 ekadashis of the year. so if you need any encouragement, there you go!
tuesday is ruled by mars, who is hanging out pretty tightly with ketu, the south node, in scorpio this week. ketu is energetically similar to mars, who is fiery, so that’s a lot of fire mixing with water, which, if not otherwise utilized, will create steam, as in the kind that comes out our ears. the best use of this mars-ketu conjunction is to fearlessly unpack the origin of our fears before we inadvertently lash out at someone, b/c anger is just misdirected/unprocessed fear. we can use this time for some deep spiritual & psychological & emotional cleansing. another way to move that energy is to actually move it, like be in our bodies & get physical, & to do acts of service. today is a great good day for both activities!
& that’s your daily bliss! which is a kind 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. may it inspire you to enlighten up a little more each day.
