it’s monday, december 9, & moon is in the starspace called bharani, which occupies a sky-slice of aries. aries shows our enthusiasm & passion for stepping into our bigness, for being a walking, talking manifestation of our soul’s highest purpose, for letting the world see who we really are. with mars still aspecting the moon we have to watch out not to lash out when we feel our identity being challenged, being silenced. like yesterday, when i drove all the way downtown from the valley (we’re talking three freeways!) to go to the deeeelicious jivamukti oasis in the arts district of l.a., only to discover that the 3 pm class had been canceled b/c of a workshop & i did not joyfully, or even equanimously, accept the news, but took it as a personal affront against my need to express myself fully & completely via a juicy jivamukti class. blaming mars, who also rules aries, for that one, fo’ sure!
bharani is ruled by the deity yama. yamas are the ethical prescriptions that allow us to engage with the world from a place of alignment with our highest spiritual goals, they constrain & restrain our actions, & yama is the god of death, the one who literally takes our breath away—can’t get more restrained than that. restraints/constraints can feel like punishment, but what they do is create the boundaries of a safe container, a container of upliftment, for our embodied existence. personally, i’d rather have guardrails along a narrow himalayan road than not (fat chance!). we can think of constraints/restraints as a funnel that helps us better channel our energy, our prana, our vital life force, that keeps it from spilling, from being wasted, & that’s a great, good thing, right?
it’s the thirteenth phase of the waxing moon, which is connected to kamadeva, the god of desire, aka hindu cupid. so it’s a good day to get with your beloved or to generally be with the ones you love.
monday is ruled by the moon, who invites us to feel our feelings, to connect to the world & all of its beings through our hearts, so coupled with the energy of the thirteenth tithi, we could have some emotions today! (try to keep that martian aspect from heating them up to explosive levels!)
& that’s your daily bliss! jyotish, vedic astrology, is the science of light. if you want to shine more light of your life, contact me for a session! ~.~
