it’s friday, january 27, & moon is in aries, in the starspace called ashwini. aries vibrates with the frequency of our individuality, of wanting to own our power & make our mark in the world. for better & worse, aries is ruled by mars, who gives us the courage to be all we can be, to step out bigly in the world, but who is prone to act first, think later. & let’s not forget that the symbol of aries is the ram, who rolls with head down & gnarly horns butting objects out of the way, perhaps wreaking havoc in the process.
ashwini is related to prana, our vital life force, & invites us to harness it, rein it in, focus it so we can accomplish what we mean to. it’s a good day to actually do some pranayama, harmonize our inner winds, which will have an effect on our mind & thus on our actions.
it’s the seventh lunar day, the seventh phase of the waxing moon, which is ruled by indra, whose big, fat ego was his ultimate ruin. this asterism reminds us that pride goeth before the fall, so it’s best to check our ego at the door, or at least consider whether our ego is serving our highest interests & those of others. ego is not a bad thing—if we didn’t have egos we wouldn’t get out of bed every day & get sh&t done—but ego run amok can be.
friday is owned by venus, who infuses the day with the spirit of love & relationships. relationships involve egos & b/c of that entail conflicts, the butting of heads & hearts. b/c passions get aroused, butting heads can be juicy, at least in my experience, can bring two people closer, but only if the space for arguing is held in love, with love, with the desire to understand each other, not to win for winning’s sake—only if we can learn indra’s lesson & be humble, prioritize the relationship above our individual egos (which might be challenging today with moon in aries, sign of individuality!). if both parties aren’t on board, that ain’t gonna happen. being able to resolve conflict with love is a test of love, of the relationship itself, of how much both parties value that relationship.
& 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.
