it’s monday, december 18, & moon is in aquarius, in the starspace called shatabhishak. aquarius vibrates with the frequency of our humanitarianism, of global, rather than personal, awareness & responsibility. under the sway of saturn’s rulership, we take our ability to have a positive impact on the world around us seriously, to, for example, give what we can & take only what we need. with saturn hanging out in aquarius now, up close & personal with moon—i.e., our consciousness—it’s an especially potent time to address our relationship with the world & its resources, to ask ourselves, for example, do i really need that pint of blackberries, flown in from afar & caged in plastic? to ask ourselves, how can i do less harm? how can i leave the world better than i found it?
shatabhishak means one hundred (shata) healers or medicines (bhishak) & is ruled by varuna, god of the cosmic waters, of healing waters. just as aquarius is symbolized by the bearer of a pot, nourishing the world with its contents, varuna often holds a pot, of soma, in one hand—& a bunch of herbs in the other. soma, the preferred elixir of the gods, is the cure for our psychic & psychological woes, herbs for all else. this asterism brings the possibility for healing from all kinds of crises/difficulties, whether physical or mental or spiritual. & let’s not forget about the power of a glass of water to revive & rejuvenate! are you hydrated?
it’s the seventh lunar day (tithi), the seventh phase of the waxing moon, which gives us the courage to vanquish limiting beliefs & bad habits & whatever other tendencies take away our agency, allow us to feel like victims of fate rather than kings/queens/sovereigns of our own destiny. how can you take more responsibility for your life today? what weakness can you slay?
monday is infused with the energy of the moon, which makes it a good day for healing, for being gentle with ourselves (& others!), for being compassionate rather than critical, receptive rather than judgy.
bonus trak: the asterism shatabhishak in sync with the seventh tithi falling on a monday forms siddha yoga, a combination (yoga) of accomplishments (siddha). all things being equal (that is, whatever is unfolding personally for each of us based on our natal charts), today brings the potential for huge healing on all levels—yay!
& 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.
