it’s thursday, may 13, & moon is in taurus, in the starspace called rohini—yes, still. in the environment of earthy taurus, we feel grounded & content with, well, our earthly existence, take comfort in material pleasures. with venus, who rules taurus, mercury & rahu hanging out in this constellation now & sun joining tomorrow, there is a lot of energy focused here, many aspects of our lives being supported by or influenced by this energy. just note that rahu tends to intensify & disrupt, confuse.
rohini (see yesterday’s post for lots more) is ruled by brahma, who created the universe with his thoughts. this asterism gives us the power of imagination: we have to imagine it before we can manifest it. dreaming the impossible dream allows it to become possible.
it’s the second lunar day, the second phase of the waxing moon, which also supports creativity, creativity connected to god, your inner brahma, you might say—your highest self, which is beyond ego. it also means that tomorrow is the third lunar day & akshaya tritiya. perhaps the most auspicious day of the year, it brings enormous blessings to whatever we do & keeps any negative planetary influences at bay. more on that tomorrow, but just wanted to give you a heads-up so you can plan accordingly & take advantage of this cosmic gift.
thursday is the day to embrace our inner jupiter, the guru within, the part of us that knows there is more to us, to the world, than meets the eye.
“a human being is a part of the whole, called by us the ‘universe,’ a part limited in time & space. he experiences himself, his thoughts & feelings, as something separated from the rest—a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. this delusion is a kid of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires & to affection for a few persons nearest to us. our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures & the whole of nature in its beauty.” — einstein
how can you peel back a layer of your optical delusion today, ru (remove) some gu (darkness, delusion), set yourself free, or freer?
& 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.
