it’s monday, january 8, & moon is in scorpio, in the starspace called anuradha. scorpio is the deep, dark, rollicking, churning ocean of our worst fears & paranoias, where our consciousness (the moon) is totally out of its depths, can’t find purchase, doesn’t know which way is up—ya know, like when you get caught under a huge wave & lose your orientation to the surface. the best thing we can do is what seems counterintuitive: rather than fight what is, we get to surrender, relax, let it wash over us. as rilke said, “let everything happen to you: beauty & terror. just keep going, no feeling is final.” robert frost put it another way: “the only way out is always through.” mars rules scorpio, giving us the courage to weather our personal terrors & by doing so strengthen our emotional intelligence muscles. which is the gift of scorpio. who’s ready to take on the heavy bag of their heaviest emotions today? who’s ready to crush a workout in the emotional gym?
anuradha, the star of devotion, is ruled by mitra, the divine friend, & brings a lesson about seeing the divine essence in everyone, the sameness, the lack of difference. our invitation is to realize that we are all fractals of the one supreme consciousness & to treat each other like brothers & sisters, like great good friends, to be devoted to the godliness in one & all.
it’s the twelfth lunar day (tithi), the twelfth phase of the waning moon, which is ruled by the goddess vijaya, who blesses us with all kinds of wealth—material wealth, fame, wisdom, spiritual evolution. as long as we’ve done our prep, & as long as we don’t overdo the pride factor, get all up in our heads about our good fortune, use it to uplift others. have you been doing your prep? what kind of wealth is showing up in your life?
monday is ruled by the moon, who invites us to feel all our feels & connect to others through our heart, through our feeling nature. moon’s mantra is “i feel you.” with moon in scorpio, its sign of debilitation, tho, it’s important to make sure we don’t feel others soooo much that we fall into their ocean of despair & drown with them. carry your water wings or life jacket today!
& 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.
