it’s thursday, march 17, & moon is in leo, in the starspace called purvaphalguni, but the moon will be full tonight in virgo, in the starspace called uttaraphalguni, so that’s what i’m going to talk about this morning, b/c full moons are a big deal. they mark the halfway point in our monthly moon work, which starts with the new moon.
the moon is full in virgo, full of light, b/c it is reflecting the light of the sun, which is in the opposite sign of pisces. what is the sun illuminating, besides the moon, & what is the moon reflecting on? pisces is the cosmic ocean, the sea of our unconsciousness, the dream state, the liminal place before we come into life, the metaphysical, source, mystery, what can’t be named, the imaginative. virgo is the practical, the concrete, the details, everything that can be named & seen & attended to with discipline.
hatha yoga is about harmonizing the sun & moon, ha (sun) & tha (moon), effort (sun) & grace (moon), that balance is what we’re always aiming for, & the full moon reminds us of that goal. we are now being invited to ground the metaphysical (pisces) in the practical (virgo), to bring our ethereal ideas (pisces) down to earth (virgo) to make them real.
uttaraphalguni infuses this full moon with commitment connected to what we love. if we don’t love what we want to manifest hard enough, if we don’t feel passionate about it, if that commitment isn’t connected to source, to the divine, if it doesn’t serve a purpose higher than our mere selves, then it’s not going to bloom bigly. but if it does, then yes it will.
what do you want to pull out of the ether to manifest & where does that desire come from, what purpose does it serve?
thursday is ruled by jupiter, planet of wisdom, our wisdom, our inner truth, which we tap into by connecting to source, to cosmic consciousness. einstein, who had a lot of piscean energy in his chart, was totally tapped in. he had strong powers of envisioning/imagining (pisces), but he couldn’t have, say, produced any theories if he couldn’t actually do the math (virgo). he put in the effort (virgo) by thinking & then surrendered to grace (pisces).
“i think 99 times and find nothing. i stop thinking, swim in silence, & the truth comes to me.”—einstein
& that’s your daily bliss! which is a kind 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. may it inspire you to enlighten up a little more each day.
