it’s tuesday, november 22, & moon is in libra, in the starspace called swati until late morning, then vishakha. the environment of libra brings our attention to our relationships, all of them, every make & model, & to our attachment to them. libra’s ruling planet, venus, can make us so desirous of being in relationships that we will do anything to remain in one, even if it no longer meets our needs (or, um, ever did).
“we meet only those people with whom our meeting is predestined. duration of association with each person is also preordained. one should not grieve if one is separated or if the association does not last long. wherever you may be, all that is auspicious will be with you.”—shri neem karoli baba
why is it so hard to let go of people?
swati brings a lesson about focusing our precious faculties of attention as hanuman did—& hanuman is related to mars, which is why tuesday is hanuman’s day. vishakha brings a lesson about about aligning our material & spiritual natures, about understanding that we are spiritual beings living a material life—we need the support of the material to evolve spiritually & we need the bigger picture perspective spirituality gives us to live more fulfilling lives as embodied beings. it’s not one or the other, but both and.
it’s the fourteenth lunar day, the fourteenth phase of the waning moon, which means we have one more day to prepare ourselves for the next lunar cycle, which begins with a new moon in scorpio tomorrow afternoon. as the moon goes into dark mode, we may be feeling the darkness as well, feeling weighted down emotionally or psychologically. get quiet to get clear, ask for support—hey, that’s what our people are for! let go of what you can—there’s always something extra, right?
tuesday is ruled by mars, who gives us one-pointed focus, which is called dharana. dharana is what gives us the ability to sit on our meditation cushions without getting distracted—well, ok, it’s a practice, fo’ sure! & we can practice all day long, by focusing our precious qualities of attention & intention on what we desire, wielding them like a warrior does a spear. mars is our inner warrior. how can you wield your focus like a spear today? what is your target?
& that’s your daily bliss! which is a sort 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.
