it’s wednesday, may 19, & moon is in leo, in the starspace called magha. in the environment of leo, ruled by the sun & sign of the king, we want to shine like the sun, send the heat of our power out in every direction so all can feel it. as long as we have everyone’s best interests in mind, no problem! as long as we are illuminating the world around us from a source of our own most exalted authenticity, no problem! for then we are being beacons for others, brilliant examples of what is possible, giving others the permission to shine shine shine as well. but if we are, “hey, look at me, look how bright my light is, aren’t i effing amazing,” not so much!
magha is ruled by the pitris, our ancestors, & brings the lesson to honor those who have come before us, as well as those who will come after, through our actions, to remember that those who came before—parents, teachers, mentors, aunts & uncles, scholars & explorers & artists—allowed us to be who we are now & that who we are now will allow others to maximize their potential to be who they are meant to be.

it’s the eighth lunar day, which supports creativity through the three gunas (tamas, rajas, sattva) & five elements (earth, air, water, fire, ether), which are the components of everything in the universe. it’s a good day to tweak the recipe for our own unique creative mocktail, figure out whether we need more or less get up & go (rajas) or connection to the divine (sattva), more or less grounding (earth) or trust in intuition (water), for example.
wednesday is mercury’s day, a day to use our mercurial skills to communicate any & every which way that works for us, to indulge our intellectual curiosity, to use our powers of discrimination (aka, to get our buddhi on!), to be flexible & playful, to not take ourselves too seriously & enjoy whatever we are doing or however we are being with whomever we choose to be or do.
& 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.
