it’s friday, february 26, & moon is in leo, which is the sign of the king, of our individual sovereignty, how we rule our world, & this is where it will be full tonight. the full moon is opposite the sun in aquarius, which is the sign of the collective, of the people. so this full moon is asking us to reflect on (the moon is full b/c it is reflecting the brightness of the sun) our relationship to power, how we embody it, express it in the world.
today the moon is in magha nakshatra, but the moon will actually be full-on full in purvaphalguni overnight. magha is ruled by the pitris, the ancestors, purva p by bhaga, the god of delight. we get our power from those who came before, who laid the path for us, shared their genes or inspiration, & it’s up to us to enjoy it, to delight in it, for their sake & ours. the best way to honor our ancestors is to be all we can be, but be it with humility, by delighting in how it benefits others, the collective, the greater good of all.
venus, who owns friday, is that part of us that wants to share love with others. although the highest expression of venus is to feel love-bliss-happiness for no reason at all, venusian love as most of us experience it is transactional, conditional, & there’s nothing wrong with that! except when venus is combust, which it is now through most of march. b/c then, rather than feeling that juicy good-for-you-good-for-me kinda thing with our friends & beloveds, we can feel cranky & underappreciated, misunderstood—our ability to love can feel burnt out, like a candle with no wax left. & our passion can get rerouted from the pleasure we share with others to our (often irrational!) displeasure with them. beware the jealousy monster!
this can be a fraught time for relationships, so we need to cool our jets, not expect too much from others, give them space, find alt expressions for our venus energy—dance! paint! cook! get out in nature! take a bubble bath! shop!—so we don’t accidentally burn our relationships up as well.
& 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.
