it’s tuesday, february 8, & moon is moving from aries, where it will be most of the day, into taurus midafternoon while being supported & transported by the starspace called krittika, altho moon is in bharani as i write this at the crack o’ dawn. aries vibrates with the frequency of the fiery masculine, while taurus vibrates with the frequency of the earthy feminine. could they be more different? no! notice whether your desire to go-go-go, do-do-do wanes this afternoon & you just want to be-be-be, rest-rest-rest.
krittika (see yesterday’s post for bharani) means “one who cuts” & brings a lesson about excising the extraneous from our lives, getting rid of what doesn’t serve us, of what is impeding our soul growth. altho this asterism is represented by a sword, the krittikas were the seven wives of the moon, so this energy has a more feminine quality. we are not out to chop off heads or vanquish a foe in a jousting match like knights in shining armor. rather, our work lies in penetrating the layers of our emotional/mental/psychological conditioning & cutting away our useless ways of believing or behaving like the bruised bits of otherwise delicious pieces of fruit. there is no judgment here—just keen observation, a keen desire, sharp as the sharpest blade, to be in the intention to learn & transform.
it’s the eighth lunar day, the eighth phase of the waxing moon, which supports us in tapping into our creative potential & manifesting something of value based on the three gunas & five elements. with aries, krittika & mars at play today, there is a lot of fire & rajas in the field, so you might want to balance that with some earth or tamas. or maybe not—your call! only you know what your recipe for success is!
tuesday is ruled by mars, who is our inner fire, our passion & courage & desire to act. if you’re not feeling it, if you think your inner fire has gone out, turned completely to ash, maybe it hasn’t really, maybe there’s a hidden ember you can coax into ignition. maybe all that’s necessary is some kindling & a little puff of your breath to get your fire going again, reignite your enthusiasm.
& 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.
