it’s thursday, february 25, & moon is in cancer, in the starspace called ashlesha. cancer is ruled by the moon, the planet of sensitivity, of deep feeling, of nurturing, of unconditional love. so if you have been feeling your feelings hard now, that’s why! being able to feel is awesome, but feeling so much that we are taken out by enormous waves of emotion, not so much! under the sway of cancer we can be incredibly empathic, so it’s important to choose who we hang with carefully.
ashlesha means “coiling,” “clinging,” “embracing,” “entwining” & so it’s not surprising that its symbol is a coiled snake. like everything in astrology (or in life), there is a spectrum of energy, from least intelligent to most, from negative to positive, low functioning to high, tamasic to sattvic. snakes are seen as poisonous, cold-blooded & deceptive as well as divine beings with access to the mysteries of the psyche, as guides to or sources of deep wisdom. our challenge today is to subdue the lower qualities of any serpent energy coursing through us, to notice what we are clinging to emotionally, & in so doing find a truer truth, write a more enlightened & empowering story for ourselves.
it’s the fourteenth phase of the waxing moon, which means we’ve got a full moon tomorrow night & that we just may be feeling emotionally restless & preoccupied, not knowing what to do with all that we are feeling, which just could be a lot. the fierce goddess kali, who destroys illusions & takes no prisoners in the process, is associated with this tithi. how can you channel kali to free yourself of the toxic need to make sense of everything you feel or of emotions that don’t serve, so you can find some stillness at the center of your personal storm?
jupiter owns thursday. jupiter is our sense of hope & optimism, our connection to the bigger picture—he allows us to zoom out for some perspective. which could come in handy today if we are entwined with confusing/toxic/distracting emotions.
& 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.
