it’s thursday, january 7, & moon is in libra, in the starspace called swati. libra creates an atmosphere in which we can focus on our relationships, whether business or platonic or romantic, & make sure the give is equal to the take, that everyone’s needs are met, that no one feels take advantage of.
the asterism swati is ruled by the ur devotee hanuman, whose father was vayu, the wind. ideas are carried on the wind, are dispersed, shared, by it.
“there are no new ideas. there are only new ways of making them felt.” — audre lorde (feminist, writer, civil rights activist)
our challenge today is to share ideas in a way that uplifts & inspires, to reimagine the ordinary & make it extraordinary, transform a commonplace word into the sacred, infuse it with divine wisdom, so that it is heart-felt by others.
it’s the ninth lunar day until late morning, then the tenth. the ninth phase of the moon brings serpent energy, which can bring intense & intensely toxic emotions to the fore. the key is to recognize that that’s what’s going on & get to the root of them, defang them. the tenth phase is connected to dharma, to taking actions that align with our soul’s purpose.
“here no work is lost nor is there any reversal of progress. even a small amount of this practice (dharma) protects from great fear.” — bhagavad gita II.40 (translation from richard freeman & mary taylor’s when love comes to light)
which is to say that every step forward is a step forward & that that step, that effort, will never be undone, that all effort is welcome, that aligning with our dharma boosts our soular immunity. sooooo, what action steps, regardless of how big or small, can you take today to bring yourself a bit more, or a lot more, in alignment with your true north?
thursday is owned by jupiter, so thursday is always a good day to reconnect with what inspires us, with the beliefs that create a container for our lives, with the wisdom teachers who shine a light on our lives, who magnetize us to our true north.
& 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.
