it’s wednesday, may 6, moon is in sagittarius, in the starspace called pūrvāṣāḍha, it’s the fifth phase of the waning moon & mercury’s day. oh, & we get a suta yoga!
sagittarius, the ninth house/sign of the natural zodiac, vibrates with the frequency of dharma, of our highest sense of purpose & thus living a life of inspired meaning. meaning comes from wisdom sources—teachers & teachings—that provide a framework of belief(s). the thing about beliefs is that they’re not necessarily based on facts or on truth with a capital T.
for example, serial murders & terrorists have a dharmic calling & a belief system—”these people are bad, they need to die & i’m fulfilling my highest purpose by ridding society of them.”
sag is opposite gemini, which bursts with discriminating intelligence, the axis challenging us to test our beliefs, over & over & over again, in the crucible of objective facts, lest we terrorize others & ourselves with them.
pūrvāṣāḍha means “early victory” & is ruled by apas, an obscure goddess associated with water, the ocean of cosmic consciousness, where divine wisdom & inspiration flow in abundance. this nakshatra brings a lesson about not being too shy about our soul’s desire, to not keep it in a state of obscurity, hidden from the world, to not be so short-sighted that we can’t see past early victory, first steps, toward final, ultimate victory, that we fail to fully manifest what we are inspired to.
what is your soul’s desire? can you see more than one move ahead, let your vision be buoyed by the ocean of cosmic consciousness?
the fifth lunar day (tithi), the fifth phase of the waning moon, supports our powers of creativity, but can support them soooo much that we lose sight of our main goal (see above!) & try to keep too many balls in the air at the same time. this tithi calls in the energy & focus of lakshmi, goddess of prosperity (see bonus track below!), whose name is actually derived from lakshya, which means “the goal.”
keep your eye on the prize!
wednesday is ruled by mercury, who invites us to think deeply, parse facts objectively & share our thoughts. & he is in aries these days, where our thought processes & communication skills are on fire, which is sweet relief after being in a state of confusion & limbo in pisces. that said, mercury is combust the sun & getting more combust every day, so do take pride in your ideas & your desire to share them—just beware getting all up in your head & forcing them on others.
bonus track: pūrvāṣāḍha + fifth tithi + wednesday produces a suta yoga, a combo that bestows blessings & brings forth prosperity. i don’t know about you, but i can use some o’ that today!
& 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.
