it’s tuesday, may 5, & moon is in the starspace called chitra, which straddles virgo & libra, serving as a bridge between those two energies. once we clear out all the cobwebs in our kingdom under the sway of virgo, we’re ready for company, we’re ready to have people over (with masks & not more than a handful) or just engage more socially, which is how libra likes it. libra likes to schmooze & connect, whether for business or pleasure. libra is the ur networker.

chitra’s symbol is a big, bright, brilliant gemstone, & it supports creative perfection. gemstones are forged through the intense heat & pressure of millions of years, & then their jewel essence is revealed when their excess is chiseled away. we, too, have been forged through the intense heat & pressure of many lifetimes to get to where we are today, & our purpose now is to chisel our excess away so that our essence can shine as bright & brilliantly as it’s meant to. through svadyaya, self-inquiry, we can begin to chip away at the dust & grime that occludes our light. got intention? got chisel?

it’s the thirteenth phase of the waxing moon until about noon mountain time, then the fourteenth. indulge what brings you pleasure in the first half of the day, especially if that involves others (hello, libra!), because the afternoon invites us to marie kondo our life, get rid of what doesn’t bring us joy, what isn’t useful or beautiful, what doesn’t serve our highest expression of self. got chisel? got some trash bags?

tuesday is ruled by mars, who gives us courage, our fighting spirit. mars just moved from earthy capricorn, where he operates with high-mindedness, into aquarius. aqaurius is an air sign & mars is fire. do you know what happens when air meets fire? something like what happened at costco in new rochelle, ny, on saturday, when police had to deal with an out-of-control crowd waiting to get into the store. so for the next six weeks try to keep a lid on it, try to remember not to take everything personally, try to remember that we’re all in this together & that it’s only by remembering that—& that this is a marathon, not a sprint—that we’re all going to get through this with the least possible damage to all.

& that’s your daily bliss! jyotish, vedic astrology, is the science of light. if you want to shine more light on your life, please contact me for a session! ~.~
