the daily blissit’s friday, december 20, & moon is in the starspace called chitra, which occupies a sky-slice that straddles virgo & libra. moon is in the virgo slice until about 8 pm mountain time, but i’ve written a lot about virgo the past couple of days & since tomorrow is sacred saturday & i won’t be posting & we will be having a most libran experience all weekend, i think it would be helpful for you to know that libra is all about our relationships. relationships are based on spoken or unspoken, conscious or unconscious, agreements, so now is a good time to notice how those agreements are working, or not, for you & for how you relate to others. when we think of libra, we def think of relationships with others, but all relationships are based on our relationship with ourselves. so if your relationships aren’t juicy harmonious, maybe look to how you relate to yourself & see if there isn’t some correspondence to offer a key for improvement: the way we treat ourselves is the way we treat others.

chitra is ruled by tvastar, the celestial architect, & this asterism reflects the potential of our soul, the lump of coal (ok, speaking just for moi!) that could be, would be a diamond (conflict-free, of course!). plato said that each of us has a divine design—just as buildings start with blueprints, the two-dimensional expression of the three-dimensional form, we are meant to fully flesh out that design, to unabashedly embody our uniqueness. florence scovel shinn, the christian mystic, said, “there is a place that you are to fill and no one else can fill, something you are to do, which no one else can do.” chitra invites us to be our own architect (or sculptor), to use our powers of courage & creativity to reveal all that we can & are meant to be.

it’s the tenth phase of the waning moon, which is related to responsibility & pressure, the pressure responsibility brings, & how we respond to it, what actions we take as a result. it’s important to make sure that our actions are based not on fear but on our dharma, our highest truth, & that they bring us into right relationship with it.

friday is owned by venus, which makes it a good day to create or enjoy beauty in your life—to celebrate your beauty or delight in someone else’s. get a facial. go to the museum. have tea with a friend. go out dancing. see a movie. make art. make love. venus loves it all!

& that’s your daily bliss! jyotish, vedic astrology, is the science of light. if you want to shine more light of your life, contact me for a session! ~.~
