it’s wednesday, july 12, & moon is moving from aries into taurus this afternoon while being supported & transported by the starspace called krittika, but is in bharani for a smidge this morning. hmmm. … so most of the day we’ll be fired up to get sh&t done, &, oh my, have i been fired up & getting sh&t done the past couple of days, def exacerbated by ruling planet mars being in fiery leo. how about you? can’t tell you how i am looking forward to taking a little break from doing & sinking into just being in taurus, enjoying the sensual pleasures of ruling planet venus appropriately with some self-care & loving friends. how about you?
krittika (see yesterday’s post for bharani if you like) is ruled by agni, primorial god of fire, & invites us to cut (krittika means “the cutter”) away or burn away the impurities of our life. perhaps something came up when you took stock yesterday under the sway of bharani, some way of being that brought unwanted consequences, that wasn’t letting you show up as authentically & powerfully as you are meant to? discuss with yourself!
it’s the eleventh lunar day, the eleventh phase of the waning moon, which in the vaishnavite tradition (hindus who are devoted to vishnu & his 10 incarnations, including krishna—hare krishna!) is observed by fasting. fasting is a way of taking our minds off the worldly & focusing on god. so do fast if that’s your thing, but there are other ways to re-up your connection to god, god consciousness, like re-upping your meditation practice. “a controlled mind is your best friend, uncontrolled your worst enemy,” wrote i don’t know who, b/c i scribbled that down without scribbling the attribution.
wednesday is ruled by thinky-talky mercury, who will be surfing the emotional waters of cancer for another two weeks. mercury doesn’t love feeling, altho he doesn’t mind talking about feelings, the concept of them, just not necessarily his own. switching from right brain to left, from intellectualizing what’s true to trusting what feels true, is not easy for him, so be patient with him, with yourself, try to use his analytical abilities to unpack & process what you’re feeling, maybe by journaling about them—cause mercury loves to write! today would be a good day to start practicing that skill.
& 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.
