it’s thursday, december 7, & moon is in virgo, in the starspace called hasta. virgo is the sign of perfectionism, which we know by now is an illusion & that that bar guarantees disappointment, right? still, a lot of good can be done by our efforts to reach it, by making steady stabs to improve our life. as olympian kim collins said, “strive for continuous improvement, not perfection.” & as benjamin franklin said, “without continual growth & progress, such words as improvement, achievement & success have no meaning.” how can you improve your life today? hint: virgo loves making lists & spreadsheets, downloading new apps to optimize their health & fitness, putting to-do’s in their calendar.
hasta is ruled by savitur, who is, to quote david frawley, whom i love to quote, “the creative, inspirational & transformative form of the sun god [&] its power is the ability to gain what we are seeking & place it in our hands.” the key to this power is knowing that we are not the doers but the vessels, that our ability to manifest comes when we surrender to, or rather partner with, divine will. it’s a good day to start the day by asking, “god, what are you & i going to create today?”
it’s the tenth lunar day (tithi), the tenth phase of the waning moon, which supports doing our dharma, the work we’re meant to do in this lifetime, the road we’re meant to walk. we’re not all meant to be world-changers like gandhi—altho, wow, imagine how quickly we could transform the planet if there were more gandhis! some of us are “just” meant to exude kindness—but, wow, imagine how quickly we could transform the planet if there were more kindness! if you’re still not sure what your dharma is, look at where you’ve been, at the breadcrumbs you’ve dropped along your journey so far, & know that confusion is part of the process of transformation. oh, yeah, & trust your inner-knowing—moon plays a big role in this tithi as well.
thursday is ruled by jupiter, whose sanskrit name is “guru.” guru is a principle, the principle that anything & everything is an opportunity for our soul evolution, for us to remove (ru) a bit more ignorance (gu) about who we are & why we are here, to be more ecstatically present in life.
& 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.
