it’s monday, january 24, & moon is in libra, in the starspace called chitra. libra is social & vibrates with the frequency of relationships, but of relationships in which both parties feel seen, in which both parties get their needs met, relationships that are mutually beneficial, not one-sided, relationships in which both parties get as good as they give.
“being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.”—lao tzu
may everyone feel strong & courageous!
chitra is ruled by tvastar, the divine architect, & brings the lesson that creating our lives is our greatest act of creation. we can each think of ourself as a magnificent slab of marble that we keep chipping away at, keep softening the edges of, keep shaping & polishing, as a sublime piece of art that we are forever bringing into a state of perfection. what bit can you chisel away today? what is still marring the perfect expression of you? what is extraneous, out of alignment?
it’s the seventh lunar day, the seventh phase of the waning moon, which is associated with indra, the king of the gods. indra is famous in the rig veda for defeating the demon vritra, who was holding the waters of the world hostage, & thus restoring prosperity & happiness to the world. in post-vedic times, however, indra got a little too full of himself, became prideful, a bit of a drunkard, hedonistic, sloppy you might say. you know what they say: pride cometh before the fall. our challenge is to let ourselves be all we can be, & feel good about it, without getting all up in our heads. we get to remind ourselves that humility is a virtue, that no one is any better than anyone else.
monday is ruled by the moon, whose superpower is feeling & feeling connected. ultimately, moon wants to just feel good—who doesn’t? but sometimes we get to feel other feelings to get to those good feelings, to know how good good can feel. moon lets us feel it all, lets us feel how much, how hard, we can feel. moon lets us feel & then release, reminds us that feelings come & go, wax & wane, just like the moon.
& 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.
