it’s thursday, july 2, & moon is in scorpio, in the starspace called anuradha until about 2 pm mountain time, then jyeshtha. scorpio is where toxic emotions & fears & paranoia & vulnerability & other negative psychic energy can bring us to our knees. however, with scorpio’s ruler, mars, up for spiritual battle, being brought to our knees is hopefully an act of devotion, of humility, of being able to surrender, to offer up, our self-limiting beliefs & feelings in the service of knowing our true self, the truth of our existence
anuradha can be translated as “after” (anu) radha, as in following in the footsteps of radha. jyeshtha means “the eldest.” radha was krishna’s great, good friend; she was utterly & selflessly devoted to him, but they were not lovers, were not married. the eldest in the family often takes on a role of devotion to younger siblings, of protecting them, providing guidance for them, being a role model, sometimes even taking on parental duties, which can be a thankless task, which can inspire resentment, especially if the eldest takes themself too seriously, starts loving the power. who are you selflessly devoted to? whose back do you always have? who are you a stand for? how do you protect & guide others? keep your eyes open for opportunities today.
it’s the thirteenth phase of the waxing moon, which is associated with what brings us pleasure, like friends & good times. since thursday is jupiter’s day those pleasures might have a more spiritual flavor.
as i just said, thursday is jupiter’s day. jupiter has moved back into sagittarius, where he is at home, which means we can more easily tap into our inner guru, into our embodied repository of teachings, sacred & otherwise. saturday’s full moon (& lunar eclipse!) in sagittarius will be an auspicious day for receiving teachings & putting them into practice, so why not start feeling into them today? & moon & jupiter are close & bright in the sky right now (closer tomorrow), so do look up at night & let yourself bask in jupiter’s light.
& 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.
