it’s friday, july 7, & moon is in aquarius, in the starspace called shatabhishak until late morning, then purvabhadra. aquarius, the sign of the collective (we), is opposite leo, the sign of the individual (me); aquarius demands humility, leo confidence. the polarity between opposite signs is what we are always trying to harmonize, balance. sir lawrence olivier knew this, said that to be a great actor one must have absolute confidence & absolute humility, “the humility to prepare & the self-confidence to bring it off.” how are you embodying those two seemingly contrary qualities?
shatabhishak brings the power of physical & psychological healing, of thinking outside the box to do so if necessary, purvabhadra the power of spiritual upliftment. shatabhishak is ruled by varuna, god of the cosmic waters; purvabhadra by aja ekapad, the cosmic form of agni, god of fire. when we heal our emotional body (water), we are available for those lightning flashes of insight (fire) about the reality of our existence. more on the transition of water into fire, on processing karma & rising, below!
it’s the fifth lunar day, the fifth phase of the waning moon, which supports healing (!) routines. given moon in shatabhishak & venus in a sort of limbo, it couldn’t be a better day to heal thyself, pamper thyself by getting a massage (if you can hook one up last minute) or brew up a bubbly bath & add candles & music to the mix, to create a mini spa day for yourself.
friday is ruled by venus, who is the part of us that experiences the beauty of life with all of our senses, with the fullness of our embodied existence. venus is not only going retrograde soonish but is slowly moving into leo & edging close to mars there. which means that now is the time to double-down on money matters & clean up our relationships—business, romantic, etc.—def not leap into anything precipitously. the border between cancer & leo provides an opportunity to untie a karmic knot; it’s where emotional grunge (from watery cancer) may rise to the surface & we get to process/digest it (with leo’s fire). meanwhile, until venus gets settled in leo, you might wanna just “live quietly in the moment & see the beauty of all before you,” as paramanhansa yogananda suggested.
& that’s your daily bliss! which is a sort of lunar weather report. may it allow you to align with the day’s cosmic energy so you can find & create a little more bliss.
