daily blissit’s sunday, may 26, & moon is in the starspace of aquarius known as shatabhishak, which is associated with healers & healing. aquarius energy invites us to took beyond ourselves, to be selfless, be humanitarians, to heal the world. which doesn’t mean we can’t heal ourselves as well; it means that we should share our own special medicinal formulas with the world.

just as, say, homeopathy works by using a bit of the “poison” to stimulate the body to restore itself to health, so we shouldn’t be afraid of tapping into, of engaging with, our darkness/shadow/negativity/grief/fear/sadness, because by doing so we take away its power to perpetuate & can transform it, turn it into light, into medicine to soothe our soul, heal what ails us & thus what ails others. having the courage to face our own demons gives others the courage to face theirs, & that is medicine in itself.

varuna is the ruling deity of this nakshatra. he is the god of the ocean & thus influences our emotions. he has the ability to bestow wisdom on us & shift our perspective. one of my teachers always says that magic is just a shift of perception. magic is the elixir that turns a poison into medicine. since all of our greatest suffering, our greatest illnesses, start in the mind, clearly all we have to do is put on a different pair of glasses! i know, easier said than done, but not impossible.

it’s the eighth phase of the waning moon, which has to do with creativity. could be a good day to, say, do some expressive art—make a painting or collage (or voodoo doll!) of any poison in your mind, perhaps a spiritual dilemma.

& that’s your daily bliss—it’s the sun’s day & i always think nature is the best medicine there is, so it’s a great good day to get outside & get yourself some, to let it seep into you on a cellular level.
