it’s monday, january 15 (happy bday, MLK!), & moon is moving from aquarius into pisces around noon MST while being supported & transported by the starspace called purvabhadra. aquarius vibrates with awareness of the world beyond our personal world, pisces with awareness of the world beyond that, to all that is. aquarius encourages us to take responsibility for the world around us, do something to improve it, leave it better than we found it. & on a big playing field, like the one MLK played on, that surely entails faith in an even greater power at play, which gave him the courage to be the change he wanted to see in the world.
“cowardice asks the question, is it safe? expediency asks the question, is it politic? vanity asks the question, is it popular? but conscience asks the question, is it right? and there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular, but one must take it because it is right.”—martin luther king, jr.
purvabhadra is ruled by aja ekapad, the one-footed goat/serpent, who is the celestial form of agni, the sacred fire of transformation. this asterism has the ability to uplevel our spiritual progress, our evolution, with lightning flashes of insight. the question is always, are we ready to see them? &, do we want to change?
“nothing in life is more exciting & rewarding than the sudden flash of insight that leaves you a changed person.”—physicist arthur gordon webster
it’s the fifth lunar day (tithi), the fifth phase of the waxing moon, which is ruled by the goddess vahnivasini, whose name means “the one dwelling in fire.” vahnivasini, like aja ekapad, is light-giving, insight-giving. the planetary ruler of both purvabhadra & this tithi is jupiter, whose sanskrit name is guru, the one who dispels darkness, shines a light a light on our ignorance. this tithi is also connected to the kingdom of serpents, aka the nagas, the keepers of wisdom, those “aha!” moments, flashes of insight, that are the impetus of transformation.
monday is ruled by the moon, who gives us our superpower to feel—to feel our feels & those of others as well, to feel heart-connected to one & all. moon’s mantra is “i feel you.”
& 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.
