it’s friday, january 8, & moon is in libra, in the starspace called vishakha. libra brings our attention to the relationships in our lives. how are the people in your life treating you? how are you treating them? what do your relationships say about you? what do the people in your life reflect back to you about who you are? … heads-up that we’ve got a scorpio-moon weekend ahead, so do beware going to dark emotional places & seeing the world, your friends & lovers, through that lens.
vishakha—how appropriate!—takes our relationships beyond the personal to the cultural & social level, to the place we might, um, feel like taking a stand for the big stuff, like, well, unless you’ve been hiding under a rock for the past two days or think it’s ok for presidents to incite riots or for capitol police to lay out welcome mats for rioters, should be obvious.
it’s the eleventh phase of the waning moon, which is connected to spiritual acts of austerity, like fasting. we don’t fast to punish ourselves, to deprive ourselves, but to remind ourselves that our resources are limited & that it’s in our best interest to use them judiciously, to step off the treadmill of life from time to time so we can take stock, reallocate. soma is the moon & it is also the nectar of immortality. we are each born with a pot of that magic potion, however full, based on our past-life merit & it’s up to us whether we want to deplete our store or add to it so that we never run out, whether we want to indulge our desires 24/7 & drain it or perform acts of kindness & charity to replenish what we’ve used, to keep topping it up. it’s a good day to ponder our good fortune & decide how best to spend it, to ponder whether we are hewing closer to, or farther away from, our highest purpose.
venus rules friday, which is why friday is considered (vedic) date night—a much better night for love & romance, gaiety & sensual pleasures than saturday, which is ruled by saturn, the old man with the serious face & early curfew!
& 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.
