it’s monday, may 9, & moon is in leo, in the starspace called magha. after a weekend of feeling into the divine feminine with moon in moon-ruled cancer, we get to feel into the divine masculine with moon in sun-ruled leo. whereas cancer vibrates with the internal frequency of receptivity & unconditional love, leo vibrates with the external frequency of action & unconditional responsibility. whereas cancer is the queen, leo is the king. these are energies, not genders—anyone can be queen for a day, anyone can be king for a day; we each contain multitudes of ways to feel & express ourselves. like the moon, we get to fluctuate, flow, wear different hats or crowns from day to day.

magha is ruled by the pitris, our ancestors, & brings a lesson about our connection to all those who came before us & made our lives possible, maybe not perfect, but possible, like teachers & mentors & spiritual guides & especially our parents. most of us didn’t have perfect childhoods, many of us experienced either small “t” or big “t” trauma—it unfortunately goes with the growing-up territory. as adults we get to take kingly responsibility for ourselves, stop blaming others, & heal ourselves, do our work, which is also the best way to heal our lineage & generational trauma.

it’s the eighth lunar day, the eighth phase of the waxing moon, which is connected to manifesting in alignment with our values. if you’re not sure what you value, look around you: what objects & which people to you surround yourself with? what do they reflect back to you about you? what/who is or is not in alignment with your values? how are you thus not in alignment with your values?

monday is ruled by the moon, which is the part of us that wants to feel peaceful & happy, which is our true nature. why is that such a challenge for so many of us? why do we deny our true nature? why do we think we don’t deserve to be peaceful & happy? in what ways are you preventing yourself from feeling peaceful & happy? how are your thoughts, & perhaps the people in your life, undermining the nature of who you be?

& that’s your daily bliss! which is a kind 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. may it inspire you to enlighten up a little more each day.
