it’s thursday, june 23, & moon is in aries, in the starspace called ashwini. while pisces vibrates with the frequency of completing a journey, aries vibrates with the frequency of beginning again, starting out fresh on a new soul adventure. aries is ruled by mars, who gives us the courage & vigor to be all we are meant to be, to do all we are meant to do. mars allows us to go boldly where we haven’t gone before, to take risks, but in a good way, to stretch ourselves. if something’s been on the back burner in your life, some project or idea you haven’t had enough belief in yourself to start manifesting, it’s time to put it on the front burner & turn up the heat!

ashwini is related to horses, who represent our desires & creative energy, & brings a lesson about reining in our senses & focusing our prana, our precious faculties of attention & intention, as we charge forward.

it’s the tenth lunar day, the tenth phase of the waning moon, which supports us in doing our dharma, which is not dissimilar to the energy of aries. for doing our dharma means fulfilling our destiny, being all we are meant to be, being fully authentically “me.” what’s dharmic for me may not, probably won’t, be dharmic for you.

“it is better to do one’s own dharma, even though imperfectly, than to do another’s dharma, even though perfectly. “—bhagavad gita 18.47

in the bhagavad gita, arjuna had qualms about fulfilling his dharma as a warrior, but his karma was to be a warrior, so he could not not do what he was meant to do. today is a good day to feel into your dharma & take bold action steps toward fulfilling it.

thursday is ruled by jupiter, whose sanskrit name is guru. the guru is the one who connects us to god through his/her/their teachings, by passing on wisdom. the ultimate wisdom is knowing that god, the divine, whatever you call the ineffable, pervades all, is everything & everyone. that knowing is a heart, not head, knowing & entails faith.

“it’s better to see god in everything than try to figure it out.”—neem karoli baba

& that’s your daily bliss! which is a kind 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. may it inspire you to enlighten up a little more each day.
