it’s tuesday, march 2, & moon is in libra, in the starspace called chitra. after organizing our life, fixing all that’s broke, solidifying our earthly foundation by hewing into virgo’s vibration, we’re ready to hew into libra’s—get out & be with people (if we can, which we seem to be able to do more & more), focus our energy outward on our relationships, whether they’re business or platonic or romantic, maternal or paternal.
chitra, which means “brilliant,” is the asterism that connects virgo & libra, transforming the detail-oriented energy of the former into an outer expression in the latter, the way a grain of sand, noodled over within the interior of an oyster for ages, becomes a pearl. that process is irritating for an oyster, just as the creative process can be irritating, frustrating, depressing even, for artists. but … no pain, no gain. i don’t think an oyster really cares about the pearl its creative process eventually produces b/c its process is, as far as we know, unconscious & unintentional. but we, we at least can find comfort in knowing that the process has a purpose & eventually even being grateful for the irritations that allowed us to produce pearls.
it’s the fourth lunar day until early afternoon, then the fifth. if you feel stymied this morning, if you feel as if you have to leap over a hurdle (hopefully not hurdles!), know that you can leap higher than you might think. & if the process is stressful, know that the afternoon supports creativity & healing, or creative healing—isn’t making art, making something, healing?
mars, who rules tuesday, is hanging out in taurus with rahu for the next six weeks. mars is our fighting spirit, our courage; rahu brings shadowy, confusing, adharmic energy into the mix. while the highest expression of mars is to fight for what’s good for all, the lowest is to fight just for ourselves, to put our selfish interests above all. now is the time to make sure we are fighting the good fight, to stay connected to truth.

& 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.
