it’s wednesday, june 2, & moon is in aquarius, in the starsapce called purvabhadra. the buddha taught us that suffering is real & that the cause of our suffering is too much attachment to what is, ultimately, ephemeral, & thus not real. one way to lessen our suffering is to turn our attention away from ourselves, & our own minutiae, to others. aquarius inspires us to do so by lifting our gaze to the suffering around us, to the needs of the world. putting our energy into a social or cultural or political or whatever cause, volunteering at a soup kitchen, is a win-win: we help alleviate the suffering of others & give ourselves a break from our own.
purvabhadra brings a lightning strike of “aha!” “bhadra” means “auspicious,” but i think of it as “badass,” for we have to be badass to be receptive enough to recognize these “aha!” moments for what they are—blasts of clarity about the truth of our existence, of who & why we are—& allow them to move us forward on our path of evolution.
it’s the eighth lunar day, the eighth phase of the waning moon, which supports our creativity & is connected to the three gunas & five elements, the basic building blocks of whatever we want to build. there’s a different recipe for everything we manifest & recipes can always be improved upon. today you may need more earth (grounding) or fire (inspiration) to produce the same thing you did last week with less. notice & adjust your recipe.
wednesday is owned by mercury, who will be retrograde until june 22. when planets are retrograde they are closer to the earth, to us, & so we feel their energy more acutely, & also more internally. with merc retrograde it’s a good time to listen more than usual, especially to what’s going on inside our heads, to our stories, our commentaries on what we are doing & who we are doing it with, on what purpose our narratives are serving: are they bringing more connection or less? are they bringing us closer to our god nature, our essential essence, or not? now’s the time to discuss with yourself!
& 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.
