it’s tuesday, january 24, & moon is in aquarius, in the starspace called shatabhishak until early-mid-morning, then purvabhadrapada. from pop culture & the tropical astrology view of aquarius, you might think the sign is about stoned-out, free-spirited flower-children dancing in meadows wearing rainbow-colored beads & thrift-shop clothes & singing about “harmony and understanding / sympathy and trust abounding.” & while harmony & understanding are a thing from the sidereal, vedic, perspective, that harmony & understanding doesn’t come from drug-induced fantasies but from the hard work of dealing with our own suffering & thus having compassion for the suffering of others & wanting to do what we can to alleviate it, to be of service to others, to the world around us. in order to give peace a chance, we get to facilitate the conditions for it, we get to find common ground in our shared humanity, which can be the common ground of suffering, which isn’t as sexy as skinny-dipping, but is, hey, the condition of being human.
shatabhishak infuses the first hours of the day (which in the vedic world officially starts at sunrise, even if, like me, you’ve been up for hours before then) with the invitation to get with or research healing protocols, be willing to go off-road if need be, which may just mean regulating your nervous system—a very good place to start. b/c if you are feeling regulated, you just may be open to receiving the lightning strike of inspiration from purvabhadrapada, that “aha” moment of knowing that comes from a divine download streaking through the ether directly into your soul.
it’s the fourth lunar day, the fourth phase of the waxing moon, which supports us in overcoming obstacles. one way to overcome them is to not see them as obstacles but as opportunities—i know, sometimes easier said than done! another way to deal is to not resist them. as winston churchill said, “if you’re in hell, keep going.” the only way through is through. you got this!
tuesday is owned by fiery mars, who infuses the day with passion passion passion. best to use that energy to dive into what you love rather than trying to win arguments—now is so not the time for that!
& 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. may it inspire you to enlighten up a little more each day.
