it’s thursday, july 22, & moon is in sagittarius, in the starspace called purvashaddha. sagittarius is imbued with the masculine fiery energy of jupiter, planet of hope & optimism, expansion & wisdom. in the environment of this constellation we ask, “what’s it all about?” we ask, like dionne warwick sang, “is it just for the moment we live … are we meant to take more than we give or are we meant to be kind?” & she comes to the conclusion that “as sure as I believe there’s a heaven above … i know there’s something much more, something even non-believers can believe in.” & we find an answer, an inspired outlook on life, a way to believe in being.
purvashaddha means “that which cannot be subdued” & is ruled by apas, the goddess of water. the water element is connected to the second chakra, swadisthana, the source of sexual/creative energy, for what is more creative than, um, PROcreation, what’s more magically unimaginable than a baby? the lesson of this asterism is that we all have magic within that wants to be born & shared & that when we are in our flow, when we are like water & don’t resist, it cannot not be born.
it’s the fourteenth lunar day, which means tomorrow is a full moon & so we are feeling emotionally full. the full moon also marks the halfway point of the lunar cycle, which began with the new moon in gemini, which means that half our moon work is done for this cycle! what remains to be done? what improvements or adjustments can you make to whatever you birthed two weeks ago? do you remember what intentions you set for the new moon?
thursday is ruled by jupiter, the guru, & tomorrow’s full moon is known as guru purnima, the full moon on which we honor the guru. the guru removes (ru) the darkness (gu). when the darkness is removed, the light, our light, can shine, we can see where we’re walking. we get to do the walking—no one can do that for us. today is a perfect day to reflect on how the guru has appeared in our life so we can best honor that energy, which can take many forms, tomorrow.
& 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.
jyotish, vedic astrology, is the science of light. if you want to shine more light on your life, please contact me for a session. ~.~
