daily blissit’s tuesday, november 12, & moon is in the starspace called krittika, which straddles aries & taurus, creating a segue between those two energies: our fiery individuality (aries) gets turned inward, toward those things that bring comfort (taurus), that ground us, that create a true sense of peace in our heart of hearts, which could most definitely be other people. it’s important for us to distinguish between temporary happiness (great sex, a bowl of coconut bliss, a swim in the ocean) & deep, everlasting happiness, which is true joy, bliss, ananda, which is not dependent on anything external, just is.

the shakti of the nakshatra krittika helps us cut (krit) through obstacles, which, as we know, are only & always mental constructions—our mind is our great limiter. the imagination has been called “the scissors of the mind,” for it allows us to cut ideas out of the fabric of the universe, to piece them together to create our vision, to create our world. & with these mental shears we can also cut away, discard, those ideas that are extraneous, that don’t serve, that just take up space & prevent us from shining our brightest. what can you cut away with your mental scissors today? or what can you cut in—what piece is floating in your imagination just waiting to be incorporated, to provide just the right color, give just the right shape to your creation?

“imagination is more important than knowledge. knowledge is limited. imagination circles the world.” (einstein)

it’s the first lunar day, the beginning of the waning cycle, which invites us to connect to what we want to create, which could be a sense of comfort, maybe more peace.

tuesday is ruled by mars, who is in venus’s sign of libra while venus is in mars’s sign of scorpio, so there is a seesawing between self (mars) & other (venus) just as this morning’s full moon in aries balances the new moon energy of libra (see yesterday’s post for more) .

& 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! ~.~
