it’s tuesday, july 16, & moon will be in scorpio any minute, in the starspace called vishakha until about midafternoon, then in anuradha. scorpio vibrates with the frequency of our emotional insecurities, which arise as a result of being in relationship (libra), b/c if we didn’t have other people as a mirror, reflecting ourselves back to us, we’d be un-self-aware. our self-awareness can create waves of paranoia: did i say the wrong thing? reveal too much? does s/he/they hate us? our mission is to let these thoughts live & then die.
“remember one thing: when the negative moments come, just remain watchful; don’t get identified with them. they come, & they come with a great force, & when they are coming with great force it is in indication that soon they will die. before they die, they come with great force; it is their last effort to catch hold of you.”—osho
vishakha brings a lesson about knowing our path is both material & spiritual, anuradha one about who (& what, but mostly who) we are devoted to & whether we are fully devoted, are all in, or just have a toe in the water.
it’ll be the eleventh lunar day (tithi), the eleventh phase of the waxing moon, just a wee bit after moon lands in scorpio. mind is said to be the least busy during this tithi, is thus the most receptive to divine influence, which is why this tithi supports spiritual practices like fasting & meditation. meditation, for those of you who haven’t figured this out yet, is not about controlling our thoughts, or getting rid of them (as if!), but is a means to, um, let them live & then die, be a witness to them, to observe them without identifying (!) with them—thinking “i am my thoughts.” nice confluence with scorpio, no? yes!
tuesday is ruled by mars, who has just joined jupiter in taurus, his energy getting purified as he passes through the starspace called krittika, where mars’ fire power meets krittika’s. may jupiter positively impact mars’ aggressive tendencies, instill him (us—we are all mars!) with wisdom, & may earthy taurus ground his fire. have we not seen enough violence, rage, aggression lately? yes!
bonus track: sun has also moved, is now in cancer, inviting us, for the next month, to focus on healing & nurturing, on unconditional love, compassion, on our emotional well-being, on what feels good in our heart. may it be so!
& 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.
