it’s tuesday, january 16, & moon is in pisces, in the starspace called uttarabhadra. in the environment of pisces we feel one with that “indefinable mysterious power that pervades everything,” as gandhi put it. “i feel it,” he said, “though i do not see it. it is this unseen power which makes itself felt & yet defies all proof, b/c it is so unlike all that i perceive through my senses. it transcends the senses.
“i do dimly perceive that whilst everything around me is ever changing, ever dying, there is underlying all that change a living power that is changeless, that holds all together, that creates, dissolves & re-creates. that informing power or spirit is god.”
uttarabhadra is the counterpart to yesterday’s purvabhadra, the latter (uttara) to the former (purva). if you got a flash of inspiration yesterday, if you experienced an “aha!” moment of insight, today you get to run with it, or, um, ground it, make it real. for while purva was ruled by jupiter, uttara is ruled by saturn, the stern task master, who leavens our ethereal notions with practicality, brings them down to earth. obviously we can’t act on every idea that pops into our head, but we do get to remember that:
“an idea that is developed & put into action is more important than an idea that exists only as an idea.”—buddha
it’s the sixth lunar day (tithi), the sixth phase of the waxing moon, which is ruled by the goddess vajreshwari. vajra means “hard, adamant, impenetrable,” also “diamond,” which has all of those qualities. similarly to the connection between purva & uttara, the fifth tithi brought inspiration & the sixth makes that spark tangible, gives it form. vajreshwari gives us the ability to overcome our negativity & limiting beliefs so we can give it form, can weave something gorgeous & real from the ephemeral threads of our imagination.
tuesday is ruled by mars, our warrior spirit. mars gives us the desire & ability to fight, but ideally the good fight, one for a just cause, or for those who can’t fight for themselves, or against our own limiting beliefs. so let’s do make sure we’re doing that today, not just fighting for the sake of fighting. let’s make sure not to take the bait if it’s offered.
& 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.
