it’s monday, november 25, & moon is in the starspace called vishakha, which occupies a sky-slice of mostly libra but a little scorpio as well. so vishakha eases the transition between harmony-in-relationship-loving libra & the deep inner psychic dive of scorpio. it’s really kind of brilliant the way the zodiac balances the masculine & feminine, the external & internal, the active & the passive, the doing & the receiving from month to month.
libra invites us to share what we care about with others, to share the beauty of life, to experience joy, to reflect on our relationships to make sure they are allowing us to do so. moon moves into scorpio in early afternoon, giving us a taste of the new moon to come tomorrow. scorpio takes us into deep emotional waters & challenges us to make sure that we are emotionally attached to what nourishes us rather than to the intensity of drama for drama’s sake.
vishakha is the only nakshatra ruled by two deities, indra & agni, the king & the priest, who represent our dual (dueling?) nature as spirit having taken human form: the material & the spiritual, the sensual & the ascetic, the relative & absolute sense of existence. the rig veda says that these two deities were born of the mouth of the cosmic being (purusa). the mouth is a portal for making offerings—the gods eat our offerings. the symbol of this asterism is an archway, another portal, another gateway between the earthly & the heavenly—in fact, vishakha means “to enter” (visha) heaven (kha). are you feeling curious about what lies beyond, are you tempted to step through that doorway, to investigate something other than life as usual?
it’s the fifteenth lunar day, the final phase of the waning cycle before the moon begins to wax again. it’s a good day to ponder what you want to grow as the moon begins to, what final dregs you want to release so there is room to grow that something new.
monday is the moon’s day, so we will be feeling into our feeling nature, getting out of our heads & into our hearts, but may also be feeling emotionally drained b/c the moon will be getting dark as dark can be.
& 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! ~.~
