it’s wednesday, may 12, & moon is in taurus, in the starspace called krittika until early afternoon then rohini. taurus is where we feel happy, ultimately for no reason. happiness, goodness, compassion & love are our birthrights, as richard freeman & mary taylor write in the intro to their new translation of the bhagavad gita, but “we must work with integrity, in a spirit of generosity & kindness, if we are to find them,” adding that “lasting happiness requires that we … take decisive actions based on a trust in the nature of change & the power of relationships.” how happy do you feel, 1 to 10? if it’s not a 10, why not? where do you need more trust & integrity?
krittika’s energy (see yesterday’s post for lots more) can yield sharp insights—crystal-clear “aha!” moments that incite decisive actions. rohini is the moon’s favorite place, where our consciousness feels most comfortable, most happy. this asterism supports fertility, creativity, passion & beauty. brahma, the divine creator, rules this asterism, & the long-lived banyan tree is not only a symbol of brahma but is also said to be where spirits, deceased ancestors & other gods, especially shiva & durga, love to hang out, thus infusing it with intense spiritual energy. seems like the perfect place to erect a tree house or, um, tree temple to soak that up!
it’s the first lunar day, the first day of the waxing moon cycle, so you may be getting off to a slow start with this month’s moon work, implementing your intention about what you want to manifest, & that’s to be expected given that the moon is still pretty dark, which means that our consciousness isn’t totally online.
wednesday is dolloped with mercury’s special sauce. if you were born on wednesday, you may be expressing those planetary gifts with your writing or business or speaking acumen. you may be flexible in body &/or mind, charming & a quite talented multitasker. the rest of us can tap into those gifts of communication & curiosity & bendy-ness today, using them to uplevel our authenticity & be powerful influencers. but:
“be careful of the words you say,/keep them short and sweet./you never know, from day to day,/which ones you’ll have to eat.”—anonymous
& 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.
