it’s friday, july 14, & moon is in taurus, in the starspace called rohini until midday MDT, then mrigashira. under the sway of taurus, we just want to be happy, for pete’s sake. is that so hard? apparently! why? probs b/c it is so hard for us to just be present in the moment. “the moment in front of you is not bothering you,” wrote michael singer. “you are bothering yourself about the moment in front of you.” how are we bothering ourselves? by comparing this moment with the last one, fretting about this one, worrying about the next one—all of which means we are not being fully present in the moment & being content with what is. just saying!
rohini is moon’s fave place, as i mentioned yesterday (see that post for more), so we feel grounded there, content. mrigashira, on the other hand, brings discontent. it is the birth star of parvati, shiva’s loyal companion, but there was a time early on in their relationship when she wasn’t feeling so loyal, when shiva’s constant meditating drove her up the wall, made her feel rejected (do you feel her?!). so she decided it was time for a timeout from him, left kailish & went down to earth to be with her own devotees. after several years, she felt the pull to return to him but forgot how to get back. oi! she did eventually get back to kailash, realizing, as did dorothy, the meta teaching of this asterism that “if i ever go looking for my heart’s desire again, i won’t look any further than my own back yard. because if it isn’t there, i never really lost it to begin with!”
it’s the thirteenth lunar day, the thirteenth phase of the waning moon (it’s not too soon to get ready for the new moon, on monday, start feeling into what to let go of so you can manifest anew), which is ruled by kamadeva, the hindu cupid, which makes a nice confluence with venus’ rulership of friday. so it’s a double-good day to do what you love with the one(s) you love!
friday is ruled by venus, planet of earthly delights, of pleasure. “everyone is seeking pleasure, but there is only one pleasure that can reach the heart, & that is the pleasure of experiencing the heart’s need to give love & receive love,” says his holiness radhanath swami.
& 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.
