it’s monday, november 11, & moon is in the starspace called bharani, which is in aries & is where it’s going to be maxing out its fullness just before dawn tomorrow. the full moon in aries balances out the energy of the new moon in libra two weeks ago. libra was all about creating harmony with others through our ability to compromise, to sacrifice some of our needs-wants-desires for the greater good of the relationship. but sometimes we overgive, we sacrifice too much, b/c our boundaries aren’t very robust, b/c we want to please, be liked, & we think we have to do whatever it takes to achieve that goal, that we won’t be liked otherwise, that we are less-than if we can’t make everyone happy. now that the moon is in aries, it’s time to ask ourselves what’s been in it for us, whether all those compromises have been good for us as well. aries is a no-compromise zone. aries is where we reestablish, or establish, our boundaries so that we are in right relationship with ourselves. b/c it is only from that place that we can truly give, truly compromise. we have to be in alignment with our core values, our essence, in order to accommodate others.
bharani is ruled by yama, the lord of death, of restraint, so we may be chafing at what we perceive as restraints/constraints, we might even be feeling punished by our circumstances (or want to restrain, ie, punish, others). many years ago, i studied with the pulitzer-prize-winning poet phil schultz, whose mantra was “technique will set you free!” he taught us to set boundaries by unpacking the techniques of different writers & trying them on to see what might be unleashed in us. the results could be frustrating, could be surprising, but the process was always interesting, always productive. can you rethink your restraints, ask yourself whether they are happening to you or for you? can you use them to your advantage, as a means to funnel your energy more productively, maybe surprise yourself?
it’s the fifteenth lunar day, ie, purnima, ie, a full moon, so that’s why you’re feeling full of aries energy, of your need to express yo’ self, to be who you are not in relation to anyone else, not as a partner or parent or employee or employer, not as one taking one for the team.
monday is the moon’s day & moon is full of himself, so that means you’re full of the moon too, full of that aries passion—just make sure that need to assert your individuality doesn’t result in anger.
& that’s your daily bliss! jyotish, vedic astrology, is the science of light. if you want to shine more light on your life, contact me for a session! ~.~
