it’s friday, november 12, & moon is in aquarius, in the starspace called shatabhishak. aquarius vibrates with the frequency of humanitarianism, of doing good in the world, of doing seva. maya angelou said, “good done anywhere is good done everywhere”—b/c it gets passed on, ripples outward, expands. when i was in l.a. taking care of my mom a couple of years ago, i would go for a walk most mornings around the nearby golf course. the path was disgusting with refuse, so one day i grabbed a pair of gloves & a trash bag & cleaned up the path as i went. my do-gooding mother, who used to report graffiti to keep her ‘hood tidy, was horrified by my contact with the nastiness, but i got a lot of thumbs-ups & high fives & nods of approval & gratitude. & i noticed that afterward others must have taken up the cause b/c the path started looking & staying cleaner—my act had had a rippling-outward effect.
shatabhishak means “100 physicians” & brings the lesson that healing comes in many forms & sometimes we have to try 100 different modalities, get 100 medical opinions, before we get the right diagnosis & figure out the right protocol. it can be frustrating—as much as modern medicine knows, there is probably way more that it doesn’t—& our search might mean going way off-road, but if we can tune into our body, become our own doctor, it will tell us what it needs.
it’s the ninth lunar day, the ninth phase of the waxing moon, so we’re gonna wanna pay attention to toxic thoughts, limiting beliefs, see if we can charm them, like we would a cobra with music, by asking them sweetly what they want with us & thus transform them into wisdom.
friday is ruled by venus … b/c joy matters. ultimately, we want to experience unconditional joy, aka bliss, aka sublime contentment, which comes from knowing we are one with all & require nothing. but until then we get to practice the conditional kind, the kind that requires satisfying our senses, being two with all—us & the object, whether that object is another person or a ripe mango or an exquisite piece of music or a desert sunset. however you experience joy, friday is a good day to do so … b/c joy matters.
& 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.
