it’s wednesday, may 31, & by the time you read this moon will be in libra, having been supported & transported during its journey from virgo by the starspace called chitra. having (hopefully!) tidied up our lives (or was i the only one polishing furniture & vacuuming the past two days?!), we are ready to get out & socialize or have people over, for libra is all about being in relationship, b/c it is through relationship that we get to fulfill our desires & expand our pleasure—we are, after all, relational beings; we are here to be with people. the key is to know when to compromise & when to hold our boundaries, to figure out what we really need vs. what we just want & to weigh (libra is, after all, represented by scales) the benefits of giving & taking—whether giving is going to get our needs met, whether we are going to be met where we are.
chitra is ruled by tvashtar, the divine architect, who created sublime objects. this asterism straddles virgo & libra & brings to mind the tidying-up queen marie kondo, who wants our external lives to be an expression of the useful (like mercury-ruled practical virgo) & the beautiful (like venus-ruled pleasure-oriented libra). while marie kondo would have us edit what we already have, tvashtar would have us create anew. how can you apply both of these principles to your life & to yourself—b/c we are our own ultimate art projects. what work do you still get to do to fully manifest the usefulness & beauty of your unique authenticity?
it’s the twelfth lunar day, the twelfth phase of the waxing moon, which is related to the sun, our source of power & the light that guides us from within. it’s a good day to feel into your power, to look where you’re going & let your inner sun guide your way on.
wednesday is ruled by mercury, who can take things seriously but not too, including himself. “you grow up the day you have the first real laugh at yourself,” said the actor ethel barrymore. mercury is definitely an embodiment of our childlike, playful, essence, which is maybe why he can laugh at himself, not get so caught up in ego, pride, self-consciousness. can you laugh at yourself? can you be a little more mercurial, a little more playful today, with yourself &, b/c of libra’s influence, with others?
& 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.
