it’s monday, january 29, & moon moves from leo this morning into virgo this afternoon while being supported & transported by the starspace called uttaraphalguni. leo, where moon has been all weekend, vibrates with the frequency of our sovereignty—have you been feeling it? leo wants us to shine like its ruling planet, the sun. “your days are numbered,” wrote philosopher-emperor marcus aurelius. “use them to throw open the windows of your soul to the sun.” while the sun invites us to express outward, the energy of virgo’s ruling planet, mercury, is internal. virgo vibrates with the frequency of turning our critically thinking faculties on ourselves & our lives & even on those in our lives. marcus aurelius had something to say about that as well: “whenever you are about to find fault with someone, ask yourself the following question: what fault of mine most nearly resembles the one i am about to criticize?”
uttaraphalguni is ruled by aryaman, the god of contracts & unions, especially but not exclusively marriage contracts. uttara = “latter”; phalguni = “fruits.” all actions bear fruit, have results. aryaman blesses those unions (actions) that are based on what’s mutually beneficial for both/all parties with prosperity, good fortune. in the case of marriage, in vedic times children were considered signs of prosperity, & still are in indian & other cultures. all contracts are designed to yield fruit, whether children or not, are designed to create greater prosperity than either party could create on their own. the key is for both/all parties to benefit equally. it’s a good day to reflect on whether the contracts we have made with others—whether for business or pleasure—fulfill those criteria.
it’s the fourth lunar day (tithi), the fourth phase of the waning moon. it is said that ganesh, who both places obstacles in our path & removes them, was born on this tithi. all obstacles are created in our mind & so we can uncreate/remove them with our mind as well. our challenge is to re-envision obstacles as gifts from ganesh, as opportunities to purify our mind, to think outside the box to find solutions.
monday is ruled by the moon, who wants everyone to be happy, feel full of love & peace. how can you facilitate that today? what would make you feel more at peace? how might you bring more peace to someone else?
& 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.
