it’s friday, march 1, & moon is in libra, in the starspace called vishakha. libra inspires us to seek equality in our relationships, all of them, & in order to find it we may feel inclined to shake things up a bit to see how ( or if!) they resettle. just as we don’t grow if we aren’t challenged, if we don’t face adversity, neither do relationships. the key is to not overshake, not to shake things up so much that everyone involved is so rattled they can’t, or don’t, recover. libra is ruled by venus, who is gentle & diplomatic, so if you are inclined to shake, do so lovingly.
vishakha means “forked” or “two-branched” & is the only asterism ruled by two deities, indra & agni, the king & the priest, who represent the twin paths of materialism & spirituality. but it doesn’t have to be either/or, especially for those of us (all of us?!) not living in himalayan caves. the lesson here is that we need both: financial means give us the freedom to do our practices, our practices keep our material pursuits dharmically aligned.
it’s the sixth lunar day (tithi), the sixth phase of the waning moon, which supports us in making our dream a reality. this tithi gives us the confidence to do so, guarantees our happiness if we do, & even brings fame & glory. of course that fame or glory may come from within, from the satisfaction of honoring our inspiration, believing in ourselves.
friday is ruled by venus, whose key word is “love.” “being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage,” said lao tzu. “there is no greater gift than love, & the gift is found in both giving & receiving,” says aubrey marcus, one of my fave light workers, & i couldn’t agree more! how about you? how can you live your venus today by giving & receiving love?
bonus track: moon moves into scorpio tonight & will be there all weekend. scorpio is where, after we open ourselves up in relationshipy libra, fear, paranoia & emotional vulnerability rise to the surface, causing us to worry about whether people still like us, about whether we revealed too much, opened ourselves up too much. remember that “you gain strength, courage & confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face,” said eleanor roosevelt. own your fear, your irrational thoughts, your emotional wooziness & enjoy your weekend!
& 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.
