it’s wednesday, december 9, & moon is in virgo, in the starspace called hasta. virgo encourages us to cast a critical eye over the mundane & often boring (at least to me!) details of life, & make sure all our ducks are in a row: that our checkbook is balanced & house is clean & doctors’ appointments made. virgo wants to keep us safe & healthy. but virgo can also go to extremes: we really don’t need to don full PPE just to grab some apples at whole foods!
hasta means “hands.” it is with our hands that we make things. it is with our hands that we offer them. it is with our hands that we form the mudra of prayer & gratitude, anjali mudra, & connect to god, the divine, spirit, whatever you call the mysterious intelligence & power that is source. in “yoga & the art of mudras,” which is nubia teixeira’s offering, she writes:
“the hands, which are an extension of the heart center, can carry the energies & prayers of our innermost sanctum outward &, in turn, bring into our hearts the energies & prayers that sustain us. … our hands possess the power to manifest our thoughts & actions, positively directing them to bring virtue & beauty into our lives & into the world around us.”
the energy of this asterism invites us to connect to our heart center, feel into what source would have us create & offer that creation into the world like a prayer, like a gift from the divine, to understand that we are vehicles rather than doers.
it’s the tenth lunar day, the tenth phase of the waning moon, which is connected to dharma, the truth of your purpose & taking responsibility for living from that place, for walking the walk, not just talking the talk. make sure your actions align with your truth—own your truth & live it through your actions.
mercury rules wednesday & he supports us in attending to anything involving words or technology or both & doing so with a sense of ease & curiosity, even playfulness.
& that’s your daily bliss! which is a kind of lunar weather report. it is my hope that the daily bliss can help you align with the day’s cosmic energy & find a little more bliss; that it inspires you to enlighten up a little more each day.
