it’s monday, january 10, & moon is in aries, in the starspace called ashwini. aries vibrates with the frequency of boldly going where we haven’t gone before, of starting something new, of doing something for the first time. aries is about what brené brown calls “f.f.t.’s” (fucking first times), which may entail feelings of uncertainty or insecurity. “learning how to stay standing in the midst of feeling unsure and uncertain—that’s the foundation of courage,” says brown. & aries is all about courage. so go boldly!

ashwini brings the lesson that in order to go boldly where we desire to go, to fulfill our vision, we have to rein in our prana, our precious life force, & channel it, direct our precious faculty of attention & intention, focus. 

it’s the ninth lunar day, the ninth phase of the waxing moon, which brings serpent energy. altho snakes do harbor venom, they are considered masters of wisdom in vedic philosophy—they are able to transform toxicity, negativity, into amrita, the nectar of immortality, truth serum, you might say. & let’s not forget that snakes are great shedders, always renewing themselves, ridding themselves of excess, that is, toxic, baggage, so that they can slither through life smoothly. today is a good day to look at what we are carrying—whether a person or situation or emotion—& whether it is useful or the opposite, whether it supports us or impedes us, whether it feels like amrita or poison. it is hard to take bold steps forward, as the aries moon is inviting us to do, if we’re bogged down with excess weight.

monday is ruled by the moon, who infuses the day with the desire to connect. as humans, we long to connect—connection, the feeling of the oneness of being, is our true nature. dis-connection is the root of all dis-ease. our dis-connection to the earth has resulted in our dissing the earth, which has resulted in climate change. our dis-connection to nature has resulted in our eating unnatural foods, which has resulted in a physically dis-eased population. our dis-connection with one another has resulted in polarization—on a global, local & personal level. how can you heal the dis-connections in your life, re-connect? we’re stronger together than apart!

& 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.
