it’s friday, july 2, & moon is in pisces, in the starspace called revati. in the environment of pisces we get a big hit of, “oh, this isn’t all there is,” & can feel ungrounded, like we’ve got a foot in two worlds—the cosmic & the material—& aren’t sure how to straddle what feels like an abyss between them. that’s our challenge—to be fully in the material world while knowing it isn’t all there is, to be able to hold opposing ideas of reality at the same time. which is one definition of yoga.
revati is ruled by pushan, the shepherd who guides us home with love & gentleness. the energy of this asterism invites us to engage with the people in our lives the way we would a lost animal—letting it know its safe with morsels of compassion & kindness & helping it make its way home. who in your life could use some tender shepherding today?
it’s the ninth lunar day, the ninth phase of the waning moon, which is related to serpent energy, which can be both toxic & not, for serpents have the power to turn poison into wisdom. & so do we. our first step is recognizing the poison for what it is, whether it’s a thought, emotion, person or situation.
friday is owned by venus, who wants us to delight in our material (as opposed to cosmic) existence. i mean, we’re here, on the earthly plane, & have been given bodies for a reason, right? although, with saturn turning his stern gaze at venus right now, we might be feeling contracted around love, around joy, around earthly pleasures. we might be feeling like we don’t deserve to party like it’s 1999, or whatever our favorite year (or prince song) was. or to enjoy on a smaller scale, like having dinner with friends. that it’s a waste of time we could or should be spending on more serious pursuits. that just means we get to work a little harder, be a little more intentional about getting our venus on today—we can sit on our meditation cushion tomorrow & make saturn happy on his own darn day!
& 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.
