it’s friday, february 4, & moon is in pisces, in the starspace called uttarabhadra. pisces vibrates with the frequency of what lies beyond this mortal coil, beyond our experience in the material plane. pisces is the cosmic ocean, the ocean of consciousness. we are often told that we are each but drops in the ocean or a grains of sand along the shore of that ocean, which gives us the perspective to be humble. but rumi said:
“you are not a drop in the ocean, you are the ocean in a drop.”
how powerful is it to consider that each of us contains the ocean, IS the ocean? i mean, if we are all iterations of god, of the divine, of whatever you want to call the ineffable source of all creation that pervades all, & that essence is the cosmic ocean of consciousness, then we are that ocean, too, right? (& yes, individual drops too!)
uttarabhadra brings a lesson about drilling into the flash of inspiration or insight we received yesterday. inspiration is just the beginning, & without it we probably wouldn’t get very far, but hard work, determination, action is the counterpart.
it’s the fourth lunar day, the fourth phase of the waxing moon, so don’t be surprised if things don’t go smoothly today, if you face some resistance. this too will pass!
friday is owned by venus, planet of love. venusian love is contractual/conditional/transactional: we want the love we give to be reciprocated. & sometimes we want our beloved to be other than they are, which, i hate to break it to you, means we don’t really love them. b/c loving them means loving who they are, being a stand for them, holding sacred space for them so they can express their multitudinous essence. i mean, don’t we want that for ourselves? who wants to feel confined? who wants to feel like they have to be less? who thinks it’s ok to not do something they love b/c the other person doesn’t like it?
“you must love in such a way that the person you love feels free.”—thich nhat hanh
hopefully you know this, but just in case: i am not talking about letting someone be an abuser b/c that’s their nature!
& that’s your daily bliss! which is a kind 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.
