it’s wednesday, march 8, & moon is in virgo, in the starspace called uttaraphalguni. while leo vibrates with the frequency of our power, virgo vibrates with the frequency of the deets that allow us to be in our power, getting them under control. this can include practical, earthy (virgo is, after all, an earth sign) stuff like cleaning the house & paying bills &, b/c virgo is ruled by ever-thinking mercury (see more below), cleaning out our mental closets, discriminating between what we can control & what we can’t. what we can control: our energy, self-talk, words, what we consume (food, media, people, etc.), our self-care, our boundaries, our own work, our responses. what we can’t control: the past, the future, the media, algorithms, other people’s beliefs/behavior, other people’s opinions of us.*
uttaraphalguni is ruled by aryaman, who blesses contracts & unions with prosperity if they are made with the best interests of both/all parties in mind. this asterism reminds us of how much more powerful we are when we join forces & resources with another (or others), that the whole is greater than its parts, that “if two lie down together they keep warm, but how can one be warm alone?” & that “though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves.” (ecclesiastes 4:11-12)
it’s technically the first lunar day, but it ended barely an hour after sunrise, so i’m going with the second, which is connected to narayana, an aspect of vishnu, the one who sustains our life on earth. it’s a good day to get with your creativity when it comes to making your life more cozy, more sustainable.
wednesday is ruled by mercury, who likes to stay curious, keep on open mind, be receptive to new intel. “when your mind is full of assumptions, conclusions & beliefs, it has no penetration, it just repeats past impressions,” says sadhguru, who knows a thing or two about how the mind works. is your mind on autopilot or is it open to change its mind? today is a good day to test the veracity of assumptions, beliefs, conclusions, perhaps by listening to the opinions of others & having a dialogue or by getting with a new source of info.
& 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. may it inspire you to enlighten up a little more each day.
