it’s a monday & the first day of june & moon is in virgo, in the starspace called hasta the first half of the day, then in chitra. so today brings more of that virgo desire to exert some control & order over the world we inhabit, which is, ultimately, a very small portion of it. the truth, sorry to have to say, is that we are soooooooo not in control of almost everything, despite what we’d like to believe. however, being at least able to weed the garden & wash some clothes & swap out winter & summer clothes (what, have you already done that?) makes us feel some wee semblance of control, some wee semblance of being able to keep our world in order. especially when it seems to be spinning more & more out of control every day.
hasta means “hand” & can suggest what is written there. i don’t know much about palmistry, but i do know that some lines are fixed in the hand, some not—just as in vedic astrology, in which some of the karma written in our birth charts is fixed, some not. which is to say that we have free will. chitra is related to the celestial architect. if we can think of ourselves as rough stone, as the potential written in our palms & in our charts, & the celestial architect as the energy we channel to exert our free will, to cut away all that keeps us from shining brilliantly, we can at least partly rewrite the story we came into this world with.
it’s the eleventh lunar phase, related to our spiritual practices, which include, if you’re a yogi, the yamas & niyamas, the sort of ten commandments or, rather, guidelines, for living in alignment with what supports the greatest good for all. the first yama is ahimsa, nonviolence. mahatma gandhi walked his nonviolence talk & proved that it’s an effective tool for change. over the weekend, a sheriff in michigan put down his baton & walked that walk too. it’s not so hard, people!
monday is the moon’s day, so feel free to feel into your vulnerable heart, feel what you feel, own your feelings.
& 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.
