it’s tuesday, may 16, & moon is in pisces, in the starspace called revati. pisces vibrates with the frequency of otherworldliness, of that reality beyond the physical one, that liminal space between this lifetime & the next. in the environment of pisces we can, if we’re lucky & fearless, surrender the droplet of who we are into experiencing ourselves as one with the cosmic ocean, for if we don’t, says leonard cohen, we’ll be seasick every day. we get a taste of that liminal state, of merging into the cosmic ocean, when we are in deep states of meditation, or when we dream. sublime, not scary, right?
revati is ruled by pushan, the cosmic shepherd, the one who guides animals home. pushan protects his charges, makes sure they are well fed, like a regenerative farmer, who regularly moves flocks & droves to new, more nourishing pastures. of course, that’s just a metaphor for his real purpose, which is to protect souls on their journey from this world into the next, through that liminal zone. & of course, we are all shepherds, or have the potential to be. as baba ram dass has famously said, “we are all just walking each other home,” although, with all due respect, i’d have to quibble with “just”—shepherding is no small thing, but maybe he meant that it is through our interactions with others, what we reflect in & to one another, that we each evolve & that’s how we serve as shepherds, “just” meaning that that’s our essential purpose. thoughts?
it’s the twelfth lunar day, the twelfth phase of the waning moon, which is related to the sun, who is always shining, never turns out his light. it’s a good day for us to shine our light, feel our solar power, be as generous as the sun with our rays.
tuesday is ruled by mars, who can be a little hotheaded & until the end of june is in cancer, which isn’t his happy place, which means he will be prone to take things personally & so we must be vigilant about that possibility & try to keep a cool head, try to respond rather than react, step away from the car, go for a run or move some furniture or find another way to channel that potentially explosive energy more productively, less destructively. but that doesn’t mean you don’t get to call out someone’s bad behavior, which i just did & which felt awesome!
& 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.
