it’s thursday, march 25, & while moon is now in cancer, in the starspace called ashlesha, it will be in leo, in the starspace called magha by late morning mountain time. our energy will be shifting from the internal, reflective, unconditionally loving feminine to the external, active, idealistic masculine. this transition is where what we feel in our hearts becomes what we are passionate about & take responsibility for. leo, as you know, is the king of the jungle, the sovereign. we rule our kingdom, create our world, based on the strength of our feelings for it. if we don’t care about it, don’t have a moral compass, we create chaos, leave a mess in our wake.

magha is ruled by the pitris, the ancestors. in the voodoo religion, loas are spirits who are prayed to like ancestors.

“ ‘don’t forget to feed the loas’ serves as an entreaty or opening salvo & refrain in ishmael reed’s great novel mumbo jumbo. the phrase articulates the imperative to remember to honor the deity—like ancestral forces that guide us through our contemporary lives. the offerings on their altars may be fruit or flowers, chicken or wine; when taken metaphorically, offerings may also be found in the form of art & the calling of names that honors our dead & keeps them near.” — from light of the world

how do you honor the spirits of your ancestors, keep them near, receive guidance from them, fulfill the dharma of your lineage?

it’s the twelfth phase of the waxing moon, which is connected to the sun. so with leo ruled by the sun, there is a double whammy of solar influence today, twice as much possibility to tap into that juice. the sun brings clarity to our path, to our vision, & is always shining—just b/c we don’t see it doesn’t mean its light isn’t available to us.

thursday is ruled by jupiter & thus flavored with his special sauce. it’s a good day to ask for & receive insight from our wisdom teachers & traditions, which shine a light on our journey to our highest purpose, offer guidance, hope & clarity.

& 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.
