it’s tuesday, march 24, moon is in taurus, will be in mṛgaśira by the time you read this, it’s the seventh phase of the waxing moon & mars’ day.
taurus is the second sign/house of the natural zodiac & elementally earth. the second house is related to the nourishment we receive from our early family life, how we are resourced—in terms of love & food & education & finances. it’s where we develop our sense of value—what we value & how we feel valued—& of what makes us feel materially comfortable/wealthy/secure.
the element of earth is related to artha, which can be translated as “goal,” “purpose,” “material wealth/prosperity”; earth grounds us, gives us stability, a sense of security.
how do you resource a sense of security? what do you value & what/who makes you feel valued? as taurus is very materially oriented, just look around at the stuff you surround yourself with, at your possessions, but also have a look at the people in your life & how you spend your time, which also show what you value. & then ask yourself whether all these elements of your life really reflect you back to you, reflect your truest values, actually give meaning to your life.
mṛgaśira is the wandering star & will support moon’s wandering from taurus into gemini later this afternoon. its shakti, or superpower, is to bring fulfillment, to sate us once & for all so that we are no longer constantly seeking, led by the nose of our desire. yeah, i know, good luck with that!
where is your desire, your longing, leading you today?
the seventh lunar day (tithi), the seventh phase of the waxing moon, is ruled by goddess shivaduti, whose name means “the messenger of shiva.” she’s got shiva’s ear, is a conduit for his wisdom, passes his steadiness of mind, the ability to control over negative samskaras (unconscious & repetitive habits/thoughts/actions), down to us. she does not let us wander off the path & if necessary will send us messages, in the form of people or situations, to bring us back on track, teach us a little humility.
tuesday is ruled by mars, our inner action hero, who is always chomping at the bit to DO SOMETHING & can get frustrated if he can’t.
frustration can easily turn to anger, lashing out. how can you channel mars’ energy to take positive action so that doesn’t happen?
bonus track: mṛgaśira + the seventh tithi + mars’ day is a recipe for an auspicious dvipushkara, or double-lotus, yoga: the good juju of any work we do today will be doubled—we’ll get twice the benefits now or the benefits may come around again; likewise, we may have to repeat any action that arises from negativity, reap double any ill effects. so let’s be very intentional & go for the gold not the !
& 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.
