it’s tuesday, february 21, & moon moves from aquarius into pisces midday while being supported & transported by the starspace called purvabhadra. this is a nourishing transit for moon, who gets to leave behind the sternness of saturn & heat of the sun (which served their purpose, but enough!) for the cool embrace of loving venus & spiritual jupiter. & while aquarius vibrates with the frequency of feeling into our connection with all of humanity, pisces vibrates with the frequency of feeling into our connection with all that is, b/c we were, after all, born of the universe. aquarius is very worldly, pisces otherworldly. the energy of aquarius is still physical, material; the energy of pisces spiritual, metaphysical. of course, we are both &—we are spiritual beings having an embodied experience. it’s a good day to feel into that, to notice whether we feel a shift in consciousness this afternoon.
purvabhadra is ruled by aja ekapad, a one-footed serpent or goat & the celestial form of agni, the spiritual fire & is said to reflect kundalini shakti. the element of fire is associated with insights, “aha!” moments that clarify our vision, like flashes of lightning. interestingly (at least to me!), in the shiva samhita (2.23), the goddess kundalini is described as a creeping vine of lightning!!! what insights, what “aha!” moments, are possible today? & what are you going to do with them? this asterism offers the possibility for spiritual transformation, for waking up & raising kundalini, through discipline & tapas (i.e., internal heat, effort). are you going to use this opportunity or lose it?
it’s the second lunar day, the second phase of the waxing moon, which brings auspiciousness & victory—yay!—& keeps nurturing the seeds of manifestation inspired by the new moon. it’s a good day to urge those seeds into full-blown blossoms & share them with the world.
tuesday is ruled by mars, who gives us the courage to act but doesn’t always think things through before he does. when he doesn’t, he can get us into all sorts of wars-without-end, become an exemplar of not learning from past mistakes & repeating them ad infinitum. let’s not do that. let’s be mindful of the repercussions our actions may have & pause before we act.
& 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. may it inspire you to enlighten up a little more each day.
