it’s tuesday, october 1, & moon is in virgo, in the starspace called uttaraphalguni. virgo vibrates with the frequency of habits & healing & is ruled by mercury, who gives us the critical ability & curiosity to get under our hood & change our literal or metaphorical oil, to rotate our tires, detail everything, so our life runs more smoothly & is prettier to look at. virgo invites us to spic ‘n’ span our inner & outer lives, to organize & tidy, fix what’s broke, heal what’s ailing—mentally, physically, spiritually. what area of your life could use the medicine of tidying up so you can spark more joy, aka more health & wellness?
uttaraphalguni is considered the marriage star as it is ruled by aryaman, the deity who blesses unions, the contracts we make with others, guarantees their success … as long as they are based on what is mutually beneficial to both (all) parties involved. there is def an emphasis on one-on-one relationships, which even in group situations start there: if a & b are in harmony/alignment, & b & c are, then isn’t there a good chance that a & c will be? please feel free to check my math, which has never been my strongest suit!
it’s the fourteenth lunar day (tithi), the fourteenth phase of the waning moon, until about 10 a.m. MDT, then the fifteenth, the penultimate phase before the dark moon & the dark moon itself. since moon is our consciousness, this means our ability to know what’s true in our heart, to feeeeeel into knowingness, is offline.
tuesday is ruled by mars, the part of us that is a spiritual warrior & gives us the courage to look first at how we just might (!) be creating the causes & conditions for our own suffering rather than blame others for it.
putting it all together: with the solar eclipse in virgo tomorrow, which means both sun (our soul) & moon (our consciousness) will be dark as dark, it’s a good day to prep by looking within at the physical, mental, social, spiritual, etc., etc. habits that are no longer working for us. i was on retreat last week, meditating 10+ hours a day, which was no joke (!) but allowed me to get ahead of the eclipse, do some internal spic ‘n’ spanning. perhaps you can make a wee bit of time today to find some stillness & do a bit of that?
& 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.
