it’s friday, january 22, & moon is in krittika, the starspace that straddles aries & taurus & eases the transition from the fiery, outward-moving energy of the former into the earthy, grounding, inward-focused energy of the latter. aries brings action, taurus a pause in the action so we can reflect on what is already present in our lives, what we have already created. see if you notice a shift midday, when moon moves signs, from the need to do & make something happen to just being able to be, feel content with what you have.
krittika is ruled by agni, the god of fire, who represents the power of transformation. on earth agni appears as fire, in the atmosphere as lightning, in the sky as the sun, which turns water into gas & what’s solid into ash. in a homa, the hindu fire sacrifice, we make offerings (ghee, rice, mantra) to agni, who then offers our offerings up to god. agni represents our ever-changing nature, our potential for transformation, & is the agent of transformation, of change. the homa allows us to better organize our lives, offer into it what doesn’t serve. what can you offer into the fire today? what rituals allow you to organize your life, purify it, focus it?
it’s the tenth phase of the waxing moon, which encourages us to do our dharma, to fulfill our highest purpose in this incarnation. the bhagavad gita reminds us that “it is better to do one’s own dharma, even though imperfectly, than to do another’s dharma, even though perfectly.” (XVIII.47) it’s a good day to check in, make sure you are doing your own soul’s business, not someone else’s, that your own heart is guiding you.
venus owns friday, so do be in the flow of love & feed your senses with pleasure of all sorts day & night today: be with the ones you love, enjoy or make art, take a walk in nature, eat yummy food, listen to music—delight in the delights of your eyes, nose, mouth, ears, hands!
& 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.
