it’s friday, march 24, & moon is in aries, in the starspace called bharani. in the environment of aries we just want to be me, me, me, me, me. this expression of ego can be healthy or un-. we need an ego to get out of bed every day & to empower us to take action, but the overexpression of ego that encourages us to think the whole world revolves around me, me, me, that alienates others? not so much. we are relational beings; we exist, we are who we are, only in relation to others, who reflect us back to ourselves. if a tree falls in the forest & no one hears, does it make a sound? if we have gifts to share & no one to receive them, appreciate them/us, do our gifts, do we, still exist? libra, the sign of relationships, which sits opposite aries, reminds us of the interdependence of me & thee. “what you meet in another being is the projection of your own level of evolution,” said ram dass. without others we know not who we are or where we are.
bharani comes from the sanskrit verb that means “to bear” & is symbolized by the yoni, the female organ of procreation. in bringing life into this world, women have to bear down, then bear responsibility for that life. this asterism reminds us that all creativity generated by us—thoughts, words, actions—has consequences, just as that moment of sperm & egg coming together (accidentally or intentionally!) does. what have you wrought & what consequences are you dealing with?
it’s the fourth lunar day (tithi), the fourth phase of the waxing moon, which can bring a feeling of being thwarted (oi! i had enough of that yesterday!), of obstacles strewn across our path, but also supports us in overcoming those obstacles … if we can see them as opportunities to, well, take our evolution to the next level, or closer anyhoo.
friday is ruled by venus, planet of love, art & relationships.
“life is the flower for which love is the honey.”—victor hugo
honestly, i’m having trouble doing the math re that quote, but the words “life,” “flower,” “love” & “honey” in juxtaposition really resonate with me. so i’m going to just suggest that it’s a great good day for each of us to make whatever equation we like out of them.
& 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.
