it’s friday, february 24, & moon is in aries, in the starspace called ashwini. while pisces vibrates with the frequency of endings, of what’s behind us, aries vibrates with the frequency of beginnings, of what’s ahead of us. pisces is the door closing on a chapter of our lives, aries the door opening on a new chapter. we get to start over, write a new story. a good place to start is with the foundation, an outline, the steps we can take to bring that story to life. what is your new story? what first steps is it inviting you to take today?
ashwini is ruled by the ashwini kumara, the twin horse deities associated with ayurveda. horses are related to prana, our inner wind, our life force. how? b/c horses have a lot of energy—why do you think the engine power of cars is measured in horsepower?—& charge forward like the wind, expending that energy. this asterism reminds us that we have only so much energy, do not have unlimited horsepower, & that’s important to rein it in, yoke it, as if it were a team of horses we needed to keep from going in opposite directions. (that’s just a metaphor—i do prefer my horses wild!) it’s a good day to conserve & focus our energy, do some pranayama.
it’s the fifth lunar day, the fifth phase of the waxing moon, which supports healing & acts of creation. given that the ashwini kumara were doctors & that aries is all about recreating our lives, beginning again, it’s a perfect day to perhaps think of creation as an act of healing or healing an act of creation.
friday is ruled by venus, planet of earthly delights, of all the ways we delight in being earthlings—art, music, nature, food, love, sex—what brings us joy. venus invites us to do what we love with the ones we love, to be in the flow of love with our people & our activities. “any time not spent on love is a waste of time,” wrote the sixteenth-century italian poet torquato tasso. how can you bring more love into every second, minute & hour of your day today, into everything you do? how can you align with love & let that be your guide?
& 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.
