it’s tuesday, december 27, & moon is in aquarius, in the starspace called shatabhishak. in the environment of aquarius, we feel a part of the global village & thus inclined to take responsibility for its well-being, be the change we want to see in the world. the gift of aquarius is that when we serve others, we also serve ourselves, b/c for one thing, serving others gives us a break from our self-obsession; for another, what’s good for the world at large is good for us—it’s a win-win.
shatabhishak can be translated as either “one hundred healers” or “one hundred poisons”—that’s the beauty & mystery of the sanskrit language, which invites us to ponder, to meditate, to find meaning. this asterism reminds us to think outside the box when it comes to healing what ails us & that ultimately we are our own healers b/c only we know how to heal ourselves. we all know that what manifests on the physical level is often rooted in emotional or psychological or spiritual issues. we know that a smile or a hug can heal, that a walk in nature can heal, that light & love heal. i swear i read a quote from emerson saying something like “let poetry be your medicine.” i couldn’t find it this morning but i did find this one from jeanette winterson: [fiction & poetry] “are medicines, they’re doses, & they heal the rupture that reality makes on the imagination.” it’s a good day to tap into our fave healing modalities, whether traditional or not.
it’s the fifth lunar day, the fifth phase of the waxing moon, which is, serendipitously, favorable for taking medicine, purging poisons & surgery, so a double-good day for healing. & the co-ruler of this tithi is the nagas, the divine serpents who are keepers of secrets & have the ability to transform poisons into wisdom. is not wisdom medicine? is not ignorance the greatest cause of our suffering?
tuesday is mars’s day. mars is our inner action hero; he loves to get sh&t done. how can you take advantage of your martianness today? what courageous action steps can you take?
given all the attributes of this day, perhaps doing something positive to heal what ails the world might be in order. just saying!
& 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. may it inspire you to enlighten up a little more each day.
