it’s friday, november 1, & moon is in libra, in the starspace called swati. libra vibrates with the frequency of our relationships—all relationships, all the time. romantic, platonic ones, familial, business, casual, serious, fleeting or forever. libra invites us to ponder how we engage with people. libran relationships, unlike selfless cancerian ones, are completely transactional, are about giving & getting, about paying with our time & energy, with our heart, & receiving value in return. which is why libra is represented by a merchant’s scale. it’s not that our interpersonal transactions are cold & calculating, but that, for example, no one is entitled to our love & friendship, just as no one is entitled to our vote (hey, we are in the thick of it!)—they’re a gift, they get to be earned. libra time is time to reflect on whether we’re getting as good as we’re giving & to rectify the sitch if need be.
swati, where new moon was just before sunrise, is connected to prana, our vital life force, our inner winds, & to hanuman, the hero of the epic ramayana, who famously rescued sita from the clutches of the demon ravana. how’d he do that? by harnessing his precious faculties of attention & intention. how’d he do that? with his love & devotion to ram, sita’s beloved. (more on sita & ram in yesterday’s post.) this asterism brings a message about focusing our prana, our energy, rather than letting it dissipate, be carried away helter-skelter on the wind like fall leaves. just as hanuman, who had no idea what power lurked within him, we have no idea what we might achieve if we focus, focus, focus. what are you devoted to?
it’s the first lunar day (tithi), the first phase of the waxing moon, so we are still feeling a little (or a lot!) lethargic in terms of rocking our intention for the waxing cycle, which, under the influence of libra, just probs has something to do with being stands for ourselves in terms of our people, our relationships.
friday is ruled, like libra, by venus, planet of all earthly delights—art, nature, music, food, love & friendship—& in delighting in them. with venus in the dark, murky waters of scorpio, we may be hewing toward the negatives rather than the positives. that just means we get to work harder to IN-joy. yes, we can!
& that’s your daily bliss! which is a sort 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.
