it’s wednesday, july 15, & moon is in the starspace called krittika. krittika straddles aries & taurus & moon moves into the taurus portion around noon mountain time. so take advantage of the morning’s fiery blast of get ‘er done, making headway on whatever new thing you’re working on, then chill a bit, take a step back & ponder whether that new project aligns with your values, contributes beauty or comfort to your life.
the energy of krittika supports cutting away (krit means “to cut”), literally or figuratively, the excess, whatever prevents our light from shining, the false beliefs that keep us small. my brother is the ur-contrarian: if you say it’s white, he says it’s black & will argue vociferously to prove his point, or disprove yours. he loves to give me a hard time for practicing astrology & asked me, b/c i’m having a “procedure” this morning, whether i’d scheduled it per today’s astrology. well, i didn’t have the luxury of doing so, but as it turns out, having the moon in krittika seems pretty serendipitous since cutting away is going to be happening. & while the cutting will start before moon is in taurus, which loves beauty, it will end with moon there, so hopefully i won’t have a ghastly scar (on my face!) as a result.
it’s the eleventh lunar day, which means, yes, it’s a good day to double-down on spiritual practices, especially meditation. as osho said: “meditation will bring you sensitivity, a great sense of belonging to the world. & this sensitivity will create new friendships for you—friendships with trees, with birds, with animals, with mountains, with rivers, with oceans, with stars. life becomes richer as love grows, as friendliness grows.” who doesn’t benefit from more friends?
mercury rules wednesday & mercury went direct a few days ago, so that’s another support for my procedure. & it’s a support for communication in general—it’s always a good idea to think before we speak, but now that merc is no longer retrograde we don’t have to be sooooooooo careful.
& that’s your daily bliss! which is a kind of lunar weather report. the moon is our consciousness & i hope that by unpacking the cosmic forces influencing it every day, you’ll be better able to understand & thus lean into its ever-changing vibrations & use them to your advantage.
