it’s tuesday, july 20, & moon is in scorpio, in the starspace called anuradha as i write but moving into jyeshtha probably by the time you read this. scorpio’s waters are dark & churn with emotions, with the sturm und drang of life. to optimize this energy, try to pull yourself out of those waters, find a better vantage point, so you can observe what’s coming up & separate fantasy/fear from reality.
anuradha brings the lesson of devotion, especially to others, as this asterism is ruled by mitra, the divine friend. jyeshtha is ruled by indra, means “eldest,” & reminds us that those of us even slightly awake have a responsibility for others. may we wield our responsibility like devoted friends!
it’s the eleventh lunar day, the eleventh phase of the waxing moon, which is related to yogic practices, especially meditation, which are designed to set us free, to free us from our attachments to what isn’t real so we can experience what is. it all starts with our thoughts, which create our reality & which we cling to like life rafts.
“letting go gives us freedom, & freedom is the only condition for happiness. if, in our heart, we still cling to anything—anger or anxiety or possessions—we cannot be free.” — thich nhat hanh
today is a good day to be (or stand on!) the island (or rock!) in the middle of the churning sea by allowing more space between your thoughts, more freedom from them.
tuesday is ruled by mars, who is not in his happiest place right now, so if you woke up feeling cranky, annoyed or frustrated by someone or someones, that could explain it. if you’re not feeling totally into your power, able to get ‘er done, that could explain it. try to just be with that energy rather than beating yourself up or doing or saying something you’ll regret as a result. mars is moving from cancer into leo today, so this, too, will pass, & b/c he is moving signs that’s another especially great reason to just chill while he gets situated. go for a run or walk or swim, pull some weeds, clean out the basement if you need to rechannel that energy.
& that’s your daily bliss! which is a kind of lunar weather report. it is my hope that the daily bliss can help you align with the day’s cosmic energy & find a little more bliss; that it inspires you to enlighten up a little more each day.
