it’s tuesday, june 29, & moon is in aquarius, in the starspace called shatabhishak. as an air sign, aquarius creates an environment of idealism in which we long for something greater than what is & aspire to do something about it. under the sway of this constellation we are encouraged to be selfless enough to be of service, to be willing to devote time & energy to a social or political or cultural cause, but we have to be careful to not be so selfless that we become martyrs in the process.
mother teresa once told a volunteer at one of her missions, “if you’re not having fun, go home,” which is to say that service should be joyful, should energize not drain you. she also said, “if you want to change the world, go home & love your family.” can you imagine the world we’d be living in if everyone felt loved?!
shatabhishak means 100 doctors & is ruled by varuna, god of the underworld, the cosmic ocean, which gives him power over both life & death, just like a doctor, which is why this asterism is associated with healers & healing. alas, it is said to be inauspicious if you fall ill with the moon here, but auspicious to implement a cure under its influence. today is a good day to cure what ails you or another.
it’s the sixth lunar day, the sixth phase of the waning moon, which is connected to kartikeya, shiva’s younger son & ganesha’s perhaps not-as-famous brother, who became an army general at a very young age & was renowned for his victories. what victories can you celebrate today? how have you stepped up & forward in your life, in little & not-so-little ways? how have you stretched yourself? how have you boldly gone where you once feared to go? in what ways have you not held yourself back, kept yourself small?
tuesday is ruled by mars, who is the part of us that expresses as the spiritual warrior, that uses its courage & fire power to burn through illusion. tuesday is a good day to reflect on how we are using our courage & fire power, whether we are turning it inward or outward, whether we are turning illusion into ash or leaving pain & destruction in our wake.
& that’s your daily bliss! which is a kind of lunar weather report. it is my hope that the daily bliss can help you align with the day’s cosmic energy & find a little more bliss; that it inspires you to enlighten up a little more each day.
