it’s wednesday, february 3, & moon is in libra, in the starspace called swati. the energy of libra encourages relationships that are mutually beneficial, that are balanced; overgiving & not getting your needs met are not welcome here. libra is transactional, it involves a transaction, meaning relationships have to be a two-way street. if they’re not, you can fix that with your words & if the other party isn’t amenable, you can use your words to say, ok, thanks, nice knowing you & use your feet to walk away.
one symbol of the asterism swati is a young plant shoot being gently blown about by the wind, which suggests being in harmony with the forces of nature, being able to bend to them without being destroyed, for that delicate shoot is not as delicate as it looks, will weather whatever storms are thrown at it & will grow up to become whatever it is meant to be. the element air likewise performs a balancing act among the other elements—water, earth, fire, ether. & swati is midway in the zodiac, with thirteen asterisms on either side. it’s a good day to get your balancing act on, to be flexible, to give & take, to give as good as you get.
it’s the seventh phase of the waning moon, which is ruled by indra, the lord of the gods. we are invited to use our kingly energy, our power, gently, lest we fall from grace as indra did, for we know that pride (abuse of power) goeth before the fall, don’t we?
wednesday is mercury’s day & mercury just went retrograde a few days ago & will be retro until the 19th. when a planet goes retrograde, we are invited to examine the internal dimensions of that energy. mercury is about communication, so we are now asked to examine our inner communication, how we talk to ourselves, what we say in our heads about ourselves & other people. what’s going on with those voices in our heads? what stories are they telling us about ourselves & about others? what do those stories we tell about others say about ourselves? remember: everyone is a mirror. ok, you’ve got your homework assignment for the next couple of weeks!
& 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.
