it’s thursday, february 18, & moon is in aries, in the starspace called bharani until late afternoon, then krittika. under the sway of aries, we feel enthusiastic about starting new things, but we don’t always finish them. that’s ok—sometimes we have to just start to realize that that wasn’t such a great idea, doesn’t really resonate with us, isn’t working out the way we imagined it would.
bharani (see yesterday’s post for more) is where we get to take responsibility for our actions, deal with the consequences. krittika (more tomorrow) helps us cut through our illusions & delusions, sever our attachments, especially emotional ones (& aren’t they all emotional?), so we can make peace with the consequences of our actions.
it’s the seventh phase of the waxing moon, the seventh tithi, which is related to lord indra, who represents our ego & the havoc it can wreak. we need our ego so we can show up every day, but we can’t let it run the show, or we’ll fall from grace like indra. ego is the story of who we are, all of our stories, & our attachment to them. it’s hard to transcend the ego, but we can become partners with it, teammates, as east forest wrote in “grandmothersphere.”
thursday is ruled by jupiter, who represents our connection to the divine & the teachers & teachings that facilitate that connection. jupiter inspires us to look beyond, to reach higher, & brings us evidence that there is more, that we can be more if we trust & believe. thursday is a good day to take stock of all the wisdom our wisdom teachers have blessed us with so that we can become the wise ones, our own gurus. it’s also a good day to feel into how, with enough awareness, every moment is an opportunity for deepening our wisdom. what did those two snow plows occupying both lanes on vail pass teach you? patience? to be grateful for an infrastructure that provided humans & machines to clear a dangerous stretch of road to keep you safe?
& 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.
