it’s tuesday, july 27, & moon is in the starspace called purvabhadra, which straddles aquarius & pisces, but we’ll be feeling into that aquarius energy for most of the day. which means we’ll be feeling less selfish more selfless, more concerned about others than about ourselves, more inclined to want to do something to improve the world, whether it’s our neighborhood or country.
purvabhadra is ruled by aja ekapada, which is related to lightning striking & can also be translated as “the single path to transcendence.” it’s like a shaktipat from heaven, an “aha!” moment. but if we’re not ready, we can miss it, miss that jolt/volt of inspiration, of true knowing. which is why we do our practices, especially meditation. so if you haven’t got on your cushion yet today, what are you waiting for? a missed opportunity is, well, a missed opportunity!
it’s the fourth lunar day, the fourth phase of the waning moon, which invites us to see obstacles as opportunities, or, as dhru purohit talked about on his “broken brain” podcast #209, to get out of our own way & see struggles as challenges. so our, um, challenge for today is to embrace our challenges, challenge ourselves to smack down before them, to smile at how high the bar seems & to effortlessly vault over it.
“the problems we face today eventually turn into blessings in the rearview mirror of life. in time, yesterday’s red light leads us to a greenlight. all destruction eventually leads to construction, all death eventually leads to birth, all pain eventually leads to pleasure. in this life or the next, what goes down will come up. it’s a matter of how we see the challenge in front of us and how we engage with it. persist, pivot, or concede. [my emphasis] it’s up to us, our choice every time.”― m
mars rules tuesday, & as always with mars, we want to keep his fire in check, focus it, but especially now, b/c after spending the last many weeks feeling emasculated in cancer, he is really feeling his full fire power in leo & is ready to remind everyone that he is the man.
& 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.
