it’s monday, july 11, & moon is in scorpio, in the starspace called jyeshtha. scorpio vibrates with the frequency of our most irrational fears & paranoias. it’s where we feel the most unstable emotionally & we let our emotions take us to dark places. but we know that the deeper we go, the higher we fly, right? that the more we experience at one end of the emotional/psychological spectrum, the more we can experience at the other end, right? scorpio gives us the opportunity to go low so we can go high, to let us be with our darkness, our shadow, our negativity & in so doing transform it into light. b/c what we resist will persist. if we deny the ugly parts of ourselves, the thoughts & feelings we’d rather not have, they’ll just get stronger. the only way out is in. the only way to free ourselves from our fears is to face them. &, as marianne williamson has said, “as we are liberated from our own fear, our presence actually liberates others.”
jyeshtha is ruled by indra, at one time the king of the gods, who is often portrayed with a thunderbolt in his hand & was worshiped, way back when, as the bringer of rain, which, in an agricultural society, meant wealth, prosperity. but too much of a good thing isn’t necessarily a better thing. too much rain can destroy crops, bring hardship, take away rather than provide material abundance. this asterism brings a lesson about how power is wielded, whether for the good of all or for the good of, say, the one percent. it also reminds us that we can control only what we can control, which is how we wield our personal power, whether we do so ethically & with integrity or not.
it’s the thirteenth lunar day, the thirteenth phase of the waxing moon, which is related to kamadeva, the hindu cupid, so it’s a good day to be with the one(s) you love & do the things you love, that bring you joy, that make you feel good in an earthly way.
monday is owned by the moon, who just wants to feel good & for everyone else to feel good as well. the best way to feel good is to perform acts of goodness just for goodness’s sake, for the metaphysical pleasure of it—good for others, filling the world with more goodness, is good for everyone, including you!
& that’s your daily bliss! which is a kind 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.
