it’s tuesday, december 6, & moon is in taurus, in the starspace called krittika. taurus vibrates with the frequency of pleasure, of happiness, of ultimately wanting to be happy for no reason. until we get there, tho, or to prime ourselves for that ultimate state, we vibe with pleasure through our senses—in food, sex, people, nature, art, music, etc. eventually we come to the realization that it’s a sort of sisyphean effort, that the more we seek it, the more elusive it is—that nugget of intense dark chocolate melts into nothingness, our partner starts snoring, krishna das stops singing, there are dishes to wash after that sumptuous meal, our buzz is killed & we can’t wait for the next thing to keep us topped up, sated. to be in-joy without being dependent on the external—that is our mission.
krittika is ruled by agni, the primordial god of fire—as if we need more fire today (see below)! fortunately, agni brings the fire of purification, allows us to see the truth (fire = insight). this asterism brings a lesson about tossing into a sacrificial fire the patterns, emotions, expectations, relationships, whatever that no longer serve. it’s a great good day for a bonfire, real or imagined.
it’s the fourteenth phase of the waxing moon (full moon alert for tomorrow!), so we may be feeling full to bursting, as if we are on the precipice of something, which can cause anxiety or tension, b/c we just want it to happen already. the energy of this tithi (lunar phase) is ugra, or “fierce,” & we may feel nervous or irritated or given to sudden bursts of anger (or worse). it’s best to keep things as simple as possible today, read scripture if we can, definitely count to ten (or a hundred!) before we act or speak, especially considering so much fire element at play—yikes!
tuesday is ruled by fiery mars, who is opposite fiery sun right now, so we get to be extra cautious about not getting hotted up ourselves & unintentionally singeing others with our flames. best way to channel martian energy is to get physical rather than angry, to pause & remove ourselves from tense situations, especially before they become tense. better to go for a walk or run (or scream into a pillow) while we ponder next steps.
& 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.
