it’s thursday, july 16, & moon is in the starspace called rohini, which occupies a sky-slice of taurus. taurus brings a sense of comfort, of creature comfort, & ease. taurus is lounging on overstuffed couches & reading stellar fiction. it’s taking bubble baths. it’s grilling veggies in the backyard with your loved ones. it’s delighting in nurturing ourselves & others,
rohini is the moon’s favorite place. the moon has twenty-seven wives, that’s why there are twenty-seven nakshatras (asterisms/starspaces), & although rohini is his favorite wife, he shares himself equally with all of his wives. i’m not sure why he just doesn’t hang with rohini if she’s the one, but i guess if he did we’d be in trouble, b/c the moon would stay stuck in one place & then so would our consciousness, we’d be in some kind of forever present—like bill murray in “groundhog day.” although, since the moon/mind is, um, grounded & content in rohini, maybe not such a bad thing!
the day is equally split between the eleventh & the twelfth lunar day. plz see yesterday’s post on what the eleventh lunar day supports this morning. the twelfth lunar day is associated with the sun, which is our inner light, our vision. the sun just crossed over from gemini into cancer late last night. when the sun moves into a new sign it takes a while for him to feel settled, just as when we move into a new house it takes us a while to unpack all our boxes & suitcases. the sun’s first day in his new home is called sankranti & the jyotishi freedom cole suggests taking this as a “beach day” if possible, b/c it’s like our own soul(ar) battery is charging—we’re likely to feel as if we’re doing halfway or that we’re getting half-results. if we can’t take the day off & head to the real or metaphorical beach, it’s a good idea to just lower our expectations for the day, maybe take care of tasks that don’t entail so much soul power.
thursday is jupiter’s day. jupiter is our connection to something larger than ourselves, & that connection is what allows us to live an inspired life. what or who inspires you, gives you a sense of purpose, gives your life meaning?
& 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.
