it’s thursday, february 23, & moon is in pisces, in the starspace called revati. pisces is the completion of a cycle, of our journey around the zodiac, the dream state before we wake up, are born or reborn, begin again. the moon actually ends its transit through pisces midafternoon before it leaps across the gandanta into aries. so, what needs or wants to be completed between now & then so you can begin again? what dream has been germinating? what illusion gets to be released?

revati is ruled by pushan, the cosmic shepherd, the one who guides us home, helps us complete our journey. this asterism reminds us that we are all each other’s shepherds, that we each get to support & be supported by others along the way, that that’s the only way.

“together we are all on a journey called life. … each one of us is aspiring to make it to the end. none is deprived of pain here & we have all suffered in our own ways. i think our journey is all about healing ourselves & healing each other in our own special ways. let’s just help each other put all those pieces back together & make it to the end more beautifully. let us help each other survive.”—ram dass

it’s the fourth lunar day, the fourth phase of the waxing moon, so don’t be surprised if you feel thwarted, if obstacles appear out of nowhere. it’s just a reminder that much as we think we can control life around us, we mostly never can. all we can control is how we respond to what life throws at us. how do you respond to obstacles—with resistance or curiosity?

thursday is ruled by jupiter, who keeps us positive, optimistic, by allowing us to see the big picture, be grateful for all the good stuff in our lives. it’s a good day to remember that, as michael franti sings, while “bad sh%t happens, good sh%t happens, too.” ya know, like when it takes seven hours rather than two-ish to drive to vail b/c of too many accidents & hairy road conditions that you will have a powder day the next day, that you are blessed AF to have a body that can still ski & the good fortune to have the time to be able to do so.

& 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.
