it’s monday, january 4, & moon is in the starspace called uttaraphalguni, which straddles leo & virgo, transforming leonine energy into virgoan. until about noon mountain time we’ll still be feeling into our sovereign nature, our individual power, but then we’ll realize that that power is useless without virgo’s ability to take care of the details—we may have a hot-rod-worthy engine under the hood, but if we don’t service it, if we don’t put gas in the tank, we might as well be driving a ’64 volkswagen bug! where in your life do you need to pay a little bit more attention to the micro? where does your life need a little more servicing so you can really roar?
uttaraphalguni is known as the marriage star. this asterism supports making commitments that bring us joy, especially those of a one-on-one nature. its energy invites us to focus on what we love, on what we are passionate about, in an effort to serve our highest purpose, whether that’s a relationship (any kind of relationship) or not. likewise, we can support others in their efforts to do the same.
it’s the sixth phase of the waning moon, which is related to shiva’s youngest son, subramanian. a child-general, he vanquished armies b/c he didn’t know he couldn’t, b/c he was naive enough, naive in the best sense of the word, to believe he could. it’s a good day to know that anything is possible if you believe it is & to celebrate your resulting victories as a result.
monday is the moon’s day, so we’re invited to feel into our feeling nature, into knowing from heart- rather than head-centeredness, into moving through the world from your emotional rather than mental body. & speaking of the moon, i just wanted to give you a heads-up that according to the vedic calendar the new year begins on the new moon after the solstice, so if you haven’t made new year’s resolutions & want to, you still have time—about a week—to ponder.
& that’s your daily bliss! which is a kind of lunar weather report. it is my hope that the daily bliss can help you align with the day’s cosmic energy & find a little more bliss; that it inspires you to enlighten up a little more each day.
