it’s monday, march 11, & moon is in pisces, in the starspace called uttarabhadra until midday, then revati. pisces vibrates with the frequency of the true nature of being, where we experience our timeless essence, which is unbounded by the constraints of our material existence. it invites us into the experience of being both a drop in the ocean & the ocean in a drop, being one & being all. for, as c.s. lewis said, “the present is the point at which time touches eternity.”
uttarabhadra is the counterpart to purvabhadra, where new moon was in the wee hours yesterday morning. purvabhadra brings a lightning strike of realization, which we can receive only when we’re ready, only if we’ve prepared. that preparation can involve therapy, personal development work, yoga. as ashtanga teacher richard freeman says, you can tell “the process of yoga is really working when, all of a sudden, one starts to see infinity” (eternity!). are your practices working? have you been preparing? did you have an “aha” moment? what are you doing with it? uttarabhadra picks up where purva left off, invites us to do something tangible with our realization. which is a perfect way to get our moon work rolling for the waxing cycle. how’s that going for you? revati, “creates abundance through providing proper nourishment,” says david frawley. “it helps all people in their efforts. … promotes fertility and growth and gives abundance and completion to our projects,” like whatever we started on the new moon.
it’s the second lunar day (tithi), the second phase of the waxing moon, which supports us in fanning the spark of creative inspiration we got yesterday, on the first tithi, encourages it to grow into fire & spread its light. so, yes, very similar to the energy of the asterisms, sort of redundant in a good way! the second tithi is when we can actually see the moon again in the sky—it’s still hidden by the sun on the first. it’s time to confidently step out of the shadows & let our light shine, let the world see what we are creating.
monday is ruled by the moon, who feels everyone, wants everyone to be happy & free, to not feel alone. moon knows the healing power of simple acts of kindness. who can you be kind to today?
& 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.
