it’s thursday, january 21, & moon is in aries, in the starspace called bharani. in the environment of aries, we are inspired to start a new venture, to boldly explore new realms, to make our mark in the world, to metaphorically plant our flag on virgin territory, say, “i am here, this is who i am, i did this.” being able to take initiative, to feel our sense of agency, is awesome; the unawesome aspect can be acting without thinking, charging ahead without considering the consequences.
bharani is the part of aries that invites us to consider the consequences of our actions. all actions, as we know, have results. & as we also know, even inaction has results, not-doing can be as impactful as doing—standing by while stupid angry white people riot, for example, & not doing your job, giving them a pass, allowing them free rein, as opposed to, say, capitol police officer eugene goodman, who did his job with gusto & more than stood up to the terrorist mob & is now being considered for a congressional gold medal. it’s a good day to reflect on the repercussions of what we may have put into motion yesterday, either by doing or not doing, own them rather than make excuses (“my president told me to do it!”), & then act or not act accordingly.
“he who perceives inaction in action, & action in inaction, is wise among men; he is a yogi & performs all actions.” (bhagavad gita IV.18)
it’s the ninth phase of the waxing moon, which brings serpent energy, the possibility of mental venom oozing to the surface. but with awareness, by staring down the serpent, we can use the poison like a vaccine to inoculate ourselves, turn it into medicine, rather than succumb to its capacity for destruction. try not to get bit today!
thursday is ruled by jupiter, who is our high expectations—the part of us that thinks big, sees the big picture—& gives us the inspiration & optimism to reach for them, to act with intentionality & purpose.
& that’s your daily bliss! which is a kind of lunar weather report. it is my hope that the daily bliss can help you align with the day’s cosmic energy & find a little more bliss; that it inspires you to enlighten up a little more each day.
