it’s friday, january 21, & moon is in leo, in the starspace called purvaphalguni. in the environment of leo, we feel into being kings or queens or quings of our jungle, of our domain, and strut about it fearlessly & courageously, unabashedly using our voice, our roar, to let everyone know we’re present & mean business. leo says play big or go home. as we well know, playing small doesn’t serve anyone, least of all ourselves. so go ahead, strut your stuff, own your life, be all you can be, show others how to do it.
purvaphalguni is ruled by bhaga, the god of delight, luck & good fortune, whose name also means “love” & is another word for “yoni,” the womb, the source of divine feminine procreative energy. but let’s not forget the delight component, b/c pleasure is the secret ingredient in the recipe of creation. this asterism brings the lesson that enjoying the sensual delights of embodied existence, which, yes, means getting to do so with a romantic partner, is integral to being fully human.
it’s the fourth lunar day, the fourth phase of the waning moon, which is ruled by both ganesh, the god of obstacles, & yama, the god of restraint & death. death is perhaps the greatest restraint & the only obstacle we can’t truly overcome, unless we realize that something has to die for there to be rebirth, something has to end for something else to begin. so get ready to feel thwarted somehow today & know that it is an opportunity for you to stretch yourself, to grow, to test your resiliency. & that if one door slams closed behind you, another one will open in front of you. don’t fret! be curious!
friday is infused with the special sauce of venus, who is, yes, still retrograde (one more week!), which means we still have time to unpack & repack our relationship to beauty, art, nature, sensual pleasures, and, yes, of course, relationships, which includes how we are relating to others. if you’ve been banging your head against the wall trying to get clarity about someone in your life, try using your heart instead, try feeling into the other person rather than trying to think into them.
& 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.
