it’s tuesday, june 6, & moon is in sagittarius, in the starspace called purvashadha. sagittarius is ruled by jupiter, whose sanskrit name is guru, the one who brings knowledge & in so doing dispels our darkness, our ignorance. “our knowledge is a little island in a great ocean of nonknowledge,” wrote isaac bashevis singer. our beliefs are based on what we know, or think we know. we all have beliefs, which guide our behavior, inform our thoughts-words-actions. but just b/c we believe something doesn’t mean it’s true. most people don’t really want the truth; they just want constant reassurances that what they believe is the truth. as ever-evolving beings, our challenge is to, when faced with the reality of facts, of truth, let go of old beliefs & embrace new ones.
purvashadha can be translated as “former invincible one” & is ruled by apas, an obscure water goddess. this asterism invites us to ask how we are obscuring ourselves, hiding, being a mystery, what we are too shy about to reveal, share with the world. & also reminds us that whatever it is, there’s no point in being shy about it; for it is destined to be revealed—if not now, when? only you know what that is. what are you waiting for?!
it’s the third lunar day, the third phase of the waning moon, which supports us in being flexible, in entertaining new options, thinking outside the box, in, um, embracing a new mind-set, a new paradigm or belief if the old one is no longer working, is at cross-purposes with our goal.
tuesday is ruled by mars, who as i have mentioned is in cancer until the end of the month. nothing wrong with cancer, except cancer is very emotional & mars, like some men (ok, women too—i’m not man-bashing!), isn’t so good with emotions, can’t connect to or understand them, doesn’t feel good feeling, & so he gets frustrated. mars is a little old-fashioned, hasn’t done his work, isn’t really interested in doing his work. so we get to understand that, hold space for him, & thus for ourselves, for our own inner mars—cause we’ve all got that part of us prone to frustration. so do keep that in mind & when you start to feel the heat rise, channel it productively—yank some weeds, go for a run, clean out a closet.
& that’s your daily bliss! which is a sort 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.
