it’s friday, february 14, & moon is in leo, in the starspace called purvaphalguni until midmorning mountain time, then uttaraphalguni, leo time is time to strut our stuff, take center stage, enjoy the limelight, which isn’t always easy/comfortable, even for leos. while leo is all about our personal sovereignty, it is opposite aquarius, sign of the collective, inviting us to use our personal power for the good of all, which may make being in our power a little more comfortable. key words: sovereignty & humility.
purvaphalguni & uttaraphalguni are like the “a” side & “b” side of a single (anyone remember singles?!) & are actually represented by the front (“a” side) & back (“b” side) legs, respectively, of a bed. in the case of purva, the bed is more like a couch (or hammock!) used for lounging, taking a siesta, enjoying a little afternoon delight. in the case of uttara, the bed is the marriage bed—always a good idea to make sure we are truly delighted with a partner before we commit! uttara blesses contracts, especially but not necessarily those for marriage, made with the greatest benefits of both/all parties in mind—unless everyone is happy, no one will be happy.
it’s the second lunar day (tithi), the second phase of the waning moon, until about 9:30, then the third. while the second gives us pride, the confidence to begin a project, smack down with what we want to manifest, the third helps us sustain it, nourish it so it can thrive. shiva & parvati are said to have been married on the third tithi, so it especially supports paying attention to home & family, which might involve circumventing/overcoming any obstacles, any pushback our people might throw at us with nourishing love & compassion.
friday is ruled by venus, planet of love, creativity & bliss, who is in his power place (pisces) until the end of may. how are you going to use this gift today, especially today, given that it’s valentine’s day? whom can you shower with love? what might you create? how much bliss can you feel?
bonus track: it’s going to be a virgo kinda weekend, time to use our hands literally or metaphorically to organize & tidy up our lives—make a to-do list tonight & start crossing stuff off tomorrow.
& 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.
