it’s wednesday, december 6, & moon is in virgo, in the starspace called uttaraphalguni. while leo vibrates with the frequency of the realms we rule, virgo vibrates with the frequency of the infrastructure of those realms. virgo is where we get to make sure all the t’s of our life, both external & internal, are crossed & all the i’s dotted, where we get to pay attention to our financial & physical health—balance checkbooks, make drs appointments, re-up exercise routines, assess our eating habits. “people are fed by the food industry, which pays no attention to health,” wrote wendell berry, “& are treated by the health industry, which pays no attention to food.” virgo is where we seize the agency we have over our own health & wellness.
uttaraphalguni is ruled by aryaman, who blesses contracts, especially but not exclusively marriage contracts, made based on what’s in the highest interest, what’s most loving, for all parties concerned. what’s loving for one person is ultimately loving for both/all, even if it doesn’t seem so in the moment, b/c an agreement based on anything less is like a house built on a foundation of sand—it ain’t gonna remain standing in the long term.
it’s the ninth lunar day (tithi), the ninth phase of the waning moon, which can bring inner turmoil, existential crises to the surface, a feeling of emptiness, as it is ruled by the nagas, those cosmic serpents who love to excavate the nooks & crannies of our psyche to extract wisdom. so we will have a tendency toward solitude, wanting to pull in & away. that’s a great good thing, b/c this tithi is auspicious only for inner transformation. what is hiding in the depths of your consciousness, what toads & frogs (remember anne bancroft & shirley maclaine going at each other in “the turning point”?) are lurking there? why are they there? if we can confront them & learn the lessons they are meant to teach us, we can set ourselves free.
wednesday is ruled by mercury, who also rules virgo, so it’s a double-good day to double-down on our mercurial powers of discriminating intelligence, communication & paying attention to details, external & internal—like making sure we mean what we say & say what we mean, that we fine-tune the thoughts we want to share so they come out of our mouths clearly & don’t cause harm.
& 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.
