daily bliss

it’s monday, july 27, & moon is in the starspace called swati, which occupies a sky-slice of libra. libra is an air sign ruled by venus. venus wants us to be happy, to be happy in the world. air wants us to reach out to others, to share that happiness with others, to negotiate happiness with others. in libra we want something & are aware of what it might cost us. we ask ourselves, is it worth it? libra wants to make sure it’s a good bargain (think scales). libra wants the give & take to be harmonious—equally beneficial to both parties.

swati is ruled by vayu, the wind god. wind disperses things, which is helpful if we mean to disperse—if, for example we want to send out a newsletter or email someone about a project or job, if we want to put out an ad campaign. but if we don’t mean to, it can, for example, just scatter our thoughts, disperse them on the wind, carry them away away away, dissipate our prana, our energy, leave us depleted & wondering what the heck happened to that awesome idea we had. hanuman was a son of vayu & shows us how powerful we can be when we truly mean to do something & harness all of our prana, our precious mental faculties, & direct it toward our goal. swati invites us to connect to our inner hanuman. got hanuman?

it’s the eighth phase of the waxing moon, which is related to the eight vasus, the elemental gods representing the natural world: water, the polestar, the moon, the earth, the wind, fire, pre-dawn & ether. the vasus are the creative forces of life & what we create we create through them. harness their support to create what matters to you today. do you need more fire to get ‘er done? more earth? ask the gods for what you need.

monday is the moon’s day, so if you are feeling moony, if you are feeling more than you are thinking, if you are hewing more toward heart rather than head, you are right on moon track.

& 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.
