it’s tuesday, november 17, & moon is in sagittarius, in the starspace called mula. in the environment of sagittarius, we feel more hopeful, we can pull back & see the big picture rather than be obsessed with the small. & now that venus & the sun have moved out of their signs of debilitation & all the other planets are moving forward, we are likely to be feeling more optimistic, we are likely to be feeling more philosophical, more inclined to trust in g-o-d: goodness overcoming darkness.

mula invites us to get into the weeds of our life & yank ’em out so we can plant something more useful, like flowers or kale or an aspen tree. this take-no-prisoners energy is harsh & defensive. how can you use it to cull negativity from your life, get rid of what doesn’t serve you, scare your enemies away? (& you know we are our own worst enemies!) between the shakti of this asterism and the passionate warrior spirit of mars (see below), you’ve got this!

it’s the third lunar day this morning, then the fourth this afternoon. if we can be flexible this morning, be willing to make adjustments & go with the flow, think outside the box to solve problems rather than hold tight to the way we want things to be or think they should be, that will set us up for any challenges or obstacles we face this afternoon. remember that obstacles are opportunities to learn & grow, are gifts in disguise.

tuesday is ruled by mars, the warrior. our highest expression of mars energy is as spiritual warriors. contrary to perhaps popular opinion, it takes strength to forgive, & through forgiveness we grow stronger, not weaker. as lama marut has written, “real strength is required to overcome our own habitual negative feelings,” which include bitterness, anger, vengefulness & resentment, all of which zap us of precious energy. let’s not forget that when we point one finger at someone else, three fingers are pointing back at ourselves. we can practice forgiveness on ourselves, then extend it to others. try it!

& that’s your daily bliss! which is a kind of lunar weather report. it is my hope that the daily bliss can help you align with the day’s cosmic energy & find a little more bliss; that it inspires you to enlighten up a little more each day.
