daily blissit’s friday, july 12, & moon is in the starspace of scorpio called anuradha. in scorpio we can feel out of our depths, as if we’ve waded or swam out too far from shore, into waters where we can no longer touch bottom or are so choppy that we lose our sense of direction, where fear holds sway. best thing to do is to surrender, relax into the depths of your own being, trust in your own inner compass, your own innate groundedness.

anuradha can be broken down into anu + radha. anu can mean “a little” or “after.” radha is, well, radha, krishna’s greatest friend, his spiritual companion & support. so here the inspiration is to be a little like radha (or, go for it & be a lot like her!), to follow in her footsteps, follow her example. how devoted are you as a friend? how devoted are you to god, whatever god means to you, however you connect to that source of divinity within you?

anuradha is ruled by mitra, the divine friend, your friend & protector, the one who is there in times of need, the one who opens a door when other doors seem closed. who is there for you when you need help? who opens doors for you? whom do you open doors for? this energy is about connecting people—the one looking for a job, say, with the one who has a job on offer. who can you connect today? who can connect you?

the eleventh phase of the waxing moon becomes the twelfth this afternoon—your yogic disciplines, doing your practices, will give rise to clarity, knowing what action steps to take … maybe knowing whom to call on for that favor of connection?!

& that’s your daily bliss—friday is ruled by venus, who wants you to enjoy the sensual pleasures, the material pleasures, of embodied existence. what brings you pleasure: yummy food? loving friends? nature?
