it’s tuesday, january 3, & moon is in taurus, in the starspace called rohini. taurus is our safety zone, the teddy bear of the zodiac, but/& feeling safe has its drawbacks, can impair/impede our growth. marin mikulic, according to soulsofamovement, says that “safetyism makes us crave a sense of perpetual security, stability & safety that clings to us like a plastic wrapper, a warm embrace to eliminate all obstacles. we’ve got painkillers for the pain, sleeping pills for insomnia, medication for anxiety, netflix to kill the time, spotify to strangle & choke the silence, alcohol for illusory courage, tinder to suppress loneliness, & social media to construct a false bubble of perfection & bliss. we sacrifice our ability to cope & learn from discomfort at the altar of perpetual comfort.” as aubrey marcus, one of my favorite seekers & light workers, put it on a recent podcast, bliss is actually the state of being able & willing to feel all our feelings, & the depth of them; it doesn’t come from shying away from the unpleasant or uncomfortable, but being able to dive into, embrace, those feelings as well.
rohini is the moon’s favorite place. according to mythology, each nakshatra (asterism, starspace) represents one of the twenty-seven wives of the moon. when moon became overly enamored of rohini, the other wives threw a hissy fit & demanded equal time. to appease them, moon started spending one night with each one, which is how we got a lunar month comprising twenty-seven nakshatras. it’s a good day to be with our favorite people, doing our favorite things, but also a good day to beware of jealousy—our own & that of others.
it’s still the twelfth lunar day, the twelfth phase of the waxing moon. how does that work? well, technically, the day’s lunar energy is established at sunrise, according to which sign & asterism & phase the moon is in. the moon didn’t actually move into the twelfth phase until about a half-hour after sunrise yesterday, so i went with the twelfth (see yesterday’s post for the deets), even tho it was the eleventh at sunrise, which is kinda cheating but not totally, & i’ll spare you the reasons why.
tuesday is owned by mars, who is prone to act first, think later, a strategy that is less than strategic & can result in undesirable consequences. tuesday is a good day to think before we act.
& 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.
