it’s wednesday, january 11, & moon is in leo, in the starspace called purvaphalguni. leo is ruled by the sun & is the sign of the king (not gender-specific! we’re talking about the highest embodiment of leadership), who, just as the sun’s dharma is to magnanimously & selflessly share its light, give it to the world, thus keeping us alive & thriving, leads b/c that’s what his/her/their dharma is. the highest expression of leo is to be the leaders we are all meant to be, to lead by the example of shining our light generously & brilliantly, & thus inspire others, give others the permission, to do the same. do you have the courage to shine your light, stand in your power, roar? if you need inspiration, might i suggest the netflix series “live to lead“? no, we are not all ruth bader ginsburgs, for example, but she didn’t know she’d turn out to be the notorious rbg either! she became notorious one ray of light at a time, by owning her power & standing courageously in her integrity.
purvaphalguni reminds us that the complement to working hard is playing hard, or just playing, taking a break from work to enjoy the fruits of all our hard work, rest on our laurels, if i may.
it’s the fifth lunar day, the fifth phase of the waning moon, which supports us in nourishing, in healing, ourselves. which, given, purva p, means it’s an extra-good day to put our legs up, read a book, go for a walk, take a bath or get a massage, have tea with a loved one. what would feel nourishing today? what’s your favorite way of loving on yourself?
wednesday is owned by mercury, who will be in retrograde motion for another week. when a planet is in retrograde (appears to be moving backward in the sky from our perspective on earth), its energy, which lives in us, is internalized. in the case of mercury we’re talking about buddhi, the thinking part of our brain (mercury’s sanskrit name is, in fact, budha). so we get to keep on reflecting, having dialogues with ourselves (feel free to talk to yourself out loud if that helps!) & listening more than we speak; for listening, receiving what others have to say, is a huge component of communication.
& 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. may it inspire you to enlighten up a little more each day.
