it’s tuesday, june 13, & moon is in aries, in the starspace called ashwini. just as the previous sign, pisces, vibrates with the frequency of endings, of completion, aries vibrates with the frequency of beginnings, of new possibilities. aries gives us the opportunity & encouragement & courage (b/c mars rules this sign & is the eternal warrior) to take bold action in our lives. of course bold is relative—what’s bold for me may feel wimpy to you & vice versa. what does bold feel like to you today? where in your life would you like to begin again or, um, embody the spirit of a beginner’s mind—of openness & eagerness without any preconceptions about what is possible or about your abilities? what would it feel like to be free of limiting beliefs?!
ashwini is ruled by the ashwin kumara, twin horse gods who bring healing & rejuvenation, fast, radical or miraculous cures. this asterism gives us the power to achieve our goals as swiftly as horses—the term “horsepower” didn’t come out of nowhere! horses, like the ashwins, are related to prana, our vital life force, & it is by channeling it, focusing it, that we achieve our goals, whether curing ourselves of disease or shooting a hole-in-one (hey, i spent a weekend recently with a bunch of golf fanatics!) or landing a dream job.
it’s the eleventh lunar day, the eleventh phase of the waning moon, which supports us in our spiritual practices, meaning those practices, like meditation, that allow us to experience our essence as spirit—these bodies are just containers for that essence. meditation allows us to quiet our mind, or, rather, to loosen mind’s hold on, control over, us. prana & thoughts are two wings of the same bird; when we control one, we control the other. with the influence of ashwini, it’s an especially good day to focus our prana by focusing our mind. or try the opposite: do some pranayama & see if it doesn’t calm & focus your mind. (& don’t forget that chanting mantra is a form of pranayama.)
tuesday is infused with the energy of mars, who is passionate, sometimes to a fault, is prone to act first think later. given that he rules headstrong aries & is still in cancer, where he is def not using his head, it’s important for us to remember, as elizabeth kenny said, that “he who angers you conquers you.”
& 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.
