it’s wednesday, may 3, & moon is in virgo, moving from the starspace called hasta into chitra about 9:30 a.m. mountain time. oh, yay, more virgo love today! more time to vibe with that detail-oriented frequency & dot our i’s & cross our t’s. given that it’s wednesday, those i’s & t’s may involve money, computers, communication or travel deets, or all of the above. does your banking need attention? your software need upgrading? a newsletter or proposal need editing or proofreading? do you need to make reservations to soak at strawberry park hot springs when you go to steamboat next month, like me? (done! it’s already a good day!)
chitra, like hasta (see yesterday’s post for hasta), brings creative energy but takes it to the next level. “chitra” can be translated as “glittering,” “bright,” “brilliant.” think gemstones, whose brilliance results from intense heat & pressure over millions of years, & lasts for just as long, if not longer. this asterism invites us to create a thing of beauty that will last forever, that might be our legacy—or at least put our energy toward that purpose, not toward something frivolous & fleeting.
it’s the thirteenth lunar day, the thirteenth phase of the waxing moon, when it is said that all shortcomings are removed & all auspiciousness is increased. it is also said that on this tithi (lunar phase) “nature assists the worshipper in waking up from the mental deep sleep & becoming aware of the fourth state (turiya).” hmmm, dontcha think that bringing awareness to our shortcomings is how we remove them & that all does seem more auspicious after? & where do our shortcomings come from than from ourselves! it’s a great good day to become aware of where & how we are limiting ourselves so we can wake up just a little bit more.
wednesday is ruled by mercury, who gives us the ability & desire to communicate. the manusmriti is an ancient hindu legal text & counsels that wisdom means to “say what is true & sweet, not say what is true but not sweet, nor what is sweet but not true.” this is always awesome advice, but with mercury still retrograde until may 21, & venus in mercury’s sign of gemini until the end of the month, it is more important than ever to rethink, reanalyze, review & revise whatever it is we think we want to say before we say it, to use our words to heal relationships & talk things through with civility & the highest intention.
& 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.
