it’s thursday, january 20, & moon is in leo, in the starspace called magha. leo vibrates with the frequency of the actor taking center stage. leo loves being in the spotlight. loves taking up space. being seen, having an audience, but like the best king/queen, not to serve ego but to serve all those watching & listening. leo embodies the notion of noblesse oblige, “the obligation of honorable, generous, and responsible behavior that is a concomitant of high rank or birth,” as webster’s puts it.
magha is ruled by the ancestors & brings the lesson of, as mentioned above, noblesse oblige, which comes from humility, which comes from understanding that we didn’t get where we are by ourselves, that we stand on the shoulders of giants, or at least all those who came before us & passed the metaphorical crown down to us. it’s a great good day to honor whoever contributed to our being who we are today.
it’s the third lunar day, the third phase of the waning moon, which brings the possibility of having to pivot & talk about it. like, if your car is encased in a sheet of ice b/c the town is & you offered to run an errand for a friend but it will take you forever to clear your windshield so you can see, can you just bow gracefully out & tell your friend why?
thursday is ruled by jupiter, who gives us our belief system. what do you believe & are your beliefs evidence-based? & are they serving the reality you want to create? for example, we once believed, or were encouraged to believe, that being decimated in the air by a shoe bomb was a real threat, & so for the past 20 years we’ve been taking our shoes off at airports & having our bags riffled through & our bodies scanned—despite evidence showing no continuing threat.
does all that personal invasion really make us feel safer, really ensure our safety? why are we still doing it? do we really want to create a reality in which we feel threatened right & left? i’m not talking about putting our heads in the sand & pretending life is all unicorns & rainbows, i’m just asking if believing that unfounded fears are real, being afraid of every shadow, is how we want to live. discuss with yourself!
& 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.
