it’s wednesday, december 1, & moon is in libra, in the starspace called swati. libra vibrates with the frequency of mutually beneficial relationships, relationships—whether familial, romantic, business or platonic—that are good for you & good for me. according to greek concepts of love, when it comes to our heart connections, they fall under the categories of eros, philia or agape. eros is sexual desire, the kind of love we feel for our romantic partners. philia, brotherly love, is the kind of love we feel for our friends & other humans in general. agape is the selfless, transcendent love we feel from & toward god. while agape may be the highest expression of love, under the sway of libra we’re not there yet—we want to get as good as we give.
swati is ruled by vayu, god of the wind & hanuman’s dad. this asterism brings the lesson that, like hanuman, we need to harness our inner winds, our prana, & direct them with intention, to achieve our goals.
there is nothing in life that you cannot breathe through
except death
and since we’re all alive it means at least there’s one breath left
so pull it deep into your chest
into your bones, into your breast
into your blood
into your necks
into the mud
into the depth
until it hugs your soul & suffocates the space that you have left
until it tugs your heartstrings & leaves your molecules caressed
just a few precious seconds right before eternal rest
will you fight for your survival from this uninvited guest?
will you rolodex your history to glamorize regrets?
or set your sights on new arrival & go sprinting up the steps?
(from “breathe,” a poem IN-Q shared on a recent dhru purohit podcast—with apologies for my own imagining of how it might look on the page!)
the takeaway: use your breath like you mean it!
it’s the twelfth lunar day, the twelfth phase of the waning moon, which is related to the sun, who gives us consistent energy & clarifies our vision: do you know where you’re going?
wednesday is ruled by mercury, our discriminating intelligence & desire to communicate. now, more than ever, we need to actually communicate, share ideas open-mindedly, engage in for-real dialogue. i know we can do it!
& 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.
