it’s tuesday, march 16, & moon is in aries, in the starspace called ashwini. aries is the first sign of the natural zodiac, where we enter the cycle, take our first steps, announce that we are here & this is who we are, assert our individuality. according to a friend, e e cummings said that we are told night & day how we should be anyone but ourselves—so we can fit in. but the better advice is, as oscar wilde brilliantly declared, that we should just be ourselves b/c everyone else is taken. (hope no one is offended by the dr. seuss quote: no reason to throw out the baby with the bathwater, imo—he wasn’t perfect for sure, but wisdom is wisdom!)
ashwini invokes the power of two horses, which represent our prana, our vital life force. it’s important for us to rein in our prana, focus it, direct it, so we can go where we mean to. it’s a good day to make sure our right & left horses, i mean channels, are balanced by doing nadi shodhana, for example.
it’s the fourth lunar day, the fourth phase of the waxing moon, which is related to ganesh. most people think of ganesh as the remover of obstacles, but the truth is that he also creates them. not that he is mischievous or mean-spirited, just that he knows we grow by overcoming challenges—smooth sailing gets us nowhere. & he never gives us a bigger hurdle to leap over than we can, well, leap over—he knows our capacity, our limits, better than we do. so can you trust that you are capable of moving whatever seems to be in your way today out of your way? can you trust that ganesh always has your back?
tuesday is ruled by mars, which happens to also rule aries & is that part of us that gives us courage to fight the good fight, who is our warrior essence, the part of us that does battle with our inner demons, the ones who would keep us small, insignificant, incapable of maximizing our potential, embodying the full magnificence of our authenticity, prevents us from being ourself.
& 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.
