it’s thursday, june 18, & moon is in the starspace called krittika, which straddles aries & taurus, but moon moved into the taurus portion while we were asleep. did you wake up feeling less itching to do, more calm & wonder why? that’s b/c taurus is earthy & thus grounding, while aries is fiery & excitable. who doesn’t need a bit of a rest after all that outward motion for the past couple of days? who doesn’t need to regroup, observe whether the actions they’ve been taking provide a sense of security & comfort, increase their wealth (whatever wealth may mean)?

krit means “to cut” & tika “to challenge”: your challenge or mission, should you accept it, is to cut out, to excise, what doesn’t serve your highest interest. ultimately this means the negative beliefs that keep you small, that keep you from knowing your true nature. but we can also start from the outside, make room in our physical space so that we have the mental-emotional-spiritual space to be more discerning internally. what can you do to marie kondo your physical or mental space? i just started a 21-day challenge (you can too!) to get rid of stuff—21 objects a day for 21 days—& i am already feeling lighter, freer, happier, more spacious. you can start small (see pic of day 1)—pieces of paper count—but i guarantee that the momentum will be huge & so will the fun.

it’s the thirteenth phase of the waning moon, which invites us to fulfill our desires, to be happy. see if you can check in with yourself throughout the day to see what you truly want/desire in the moment & whether you can fulfill that want. which doesn’t mean indulging every craving—make sure the want is in your best interest & don’t be afraid to say no to yourself … in a loving way.

thursday is jupiter’s day & jupiter is the guru, so it’s, say, the perfect day to jump on a dharma-talk zoom call with a wisdom teacher or otherwise connect with the guiding principles or, um, principals (!), of your life.

& 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.
