it’s friday, july 24, & moon is in virgo, in the starspace called uttaraphalguni. uttaraphalguni connects leo & virgo, reminding us that ruling our world (leo) means paying attention to the details (virgo), to the small stuff, that it’s not all fancy-dress parties. we either have to get out the toothbrush ourselves & get down on our hands & knees & clean the crevices of our lives or delegate the task, but it has to get done. this is where the passion of leo, the thing we love, becomes hard work—hopefully, we love the thing enough that we don’t mind the hard work, just as, say, parents don’t mind changing diapers b/c they love their newborn so much.
uttaraphalguni is ruled by the deity aryaman, who helps us with contracts & other official dealings that maintain our queendom. most of us can’t do it all alone—some things we are good at, or enjoy, others not so much. today is a good day to figure out which tasks we can or want to delegate & establish agreements to get ‘er done. if we don’t know who can help, surely someone in our vast circle will. a friend whose home turned into his office thanks to the pandemic & is overwhelmed by keeping it clean asked me if i had a cleaner. oh, how i wish i did! but i do have a friend who has one. that’s how it works & how we keep our queendom working. thinking we have to do it all ourselves is just a way of procrastinating & feeling overwhelmed, which doesn’t serve anyone.
it’s the fifth phase of the waxing moon, which supports getting with healing routines, with taking our medicine, as does the fact that today is ruled by venus, the florence nightingale of the planets, who would nurse us or have us nurse others back to health.
“oh beauty, you are the light of the world!”— derek wolcott
venus owns friday. venus is our connection to, our ability to appreciate & express, beauty, to be nurtured by it. how does beauty light up your world? how do you light up the world with your own beauty?
& 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.
