it’s friday (again!), may 8, & moon is in the starspace called anuradha, which occupies a sky-slice of scorpio. scorpio is the eighth sign of the natural zodiac & thus reflects the qualities of the eighth house, which has to do with feeling out of control (i mean, in regular times; in these “during” times everything is out of our control like nobody’s business), but also offers the possibility of transformation if we can surrender & just go with whatever is going on. scorpio’s energy can turn us emotionally upside down so that we can’t tell what’s real & what’s a figment of our fabulous imagination. see if you can dive beneath the waves rather than get caught up in the chop.
anuradha offers us release from our emotional attachments through the powers of devotion. anu = “after” or “following”; radha = “radha,” krishna’s great friend. we are being invited by this asterism to do like radha, to follow in her footsteps, to ask ourselves, “what would radha do?” radha, who despite what you may think, was not married to krishna, was still utterly devoted to him, as a true heart friend. radha is said to represent the individual soul & krishna the universal soul, or god. the lila of radha & krishna is one of longing to merge with the divine. if we focus on that, all of our attachments, all of our false & limiting beliefs, will easily & naturally fall by the wayside.
it’s the second tithi (phase) of the waning moon, which invites us to create based on what we value. what we value is really an extension of how we value ourselves, how we feel valued. if you’re not sure what you value or what you think of yourself, look at what’s around you, look at the people in your life—it’s all an extension of you. what does that reflect about you? is it in alignment with your core values?
friday is ruled by venus, aka our pleasure principle. according to yuval noah harari, the author of “sapiens,” happiness, which is biochemical, comes from pleasant sensations in our bodies, & evolution has made sure that most of us are neither too happy nor too miserable. who cares if they can be reduced to hormones & electrical signals? venus wants us to get some happy on today. so let those hormones & electrical impulses zing!
& 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! ~.~
