it’s thursday, march 3, & moon is in pisces, in the starspace called purvabhadra. pisces vibrates with the frequency of otherworldiness, of what’s beyond the earthly plane. in the environment of pisces we realize that there is more to life than what we can see, feel, hear, taste, touch, & we want to know that, have the experience of the ineffable, of what defies words. ram dass tried to touch that through lsd & other drugs, but his guru, neem karoli baba, explained to him, without judgment, that that was the temporary path, that the experience of god, of the ineffable, would vanish as soon as his trip was over. if he wanted that transcendental experience to last, he needed to get with some serious yogic practices. & he did.
purvabhadra brings a lesson about being able to receive, see, the lightning strike of inspiration when it strikes. as richard freeman has said, “experiencing the present moment is not something you do; it is something that just happens. you ‘do’ the [yoga] practice so that when the flash of insight arises you are awake enough to notice it.” are you ready? are you awake? are you fully present to what is or might arise in this moment? can you receive?
it’s the first lunar day, the first phase of the waning moon, which supports creativity. just as the moon is creating itself anew, we get to do the same, take the first steps forward in this cycle’s moon work. what insights were sparked by the new moon’s energy around global healing, around each of us being the cure, the instrument for healing what ails the world?
thursday is owned by jupiter, who gives us our beliefs. if we believe in nothing, we’ll fall for anything. jupiter is known as the guru, the teacher, the one who removes (ru) the darkness (gu). not everyone gets their beliefs from a teacher, but we all get them from someone/something—unless of course we don’t believe in anything. it’s a good day to check in with our beliefs, with the source of our beliefs, & ask ourselves if they are really grounding us, shaping our life, really providing a meaningful container for our journey on this planet in this moment.
& 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.
