it’s monday, november 29, & moon is in virgo, moving from the starspace called uttaraphalguni into hasta at about 9 a.m. mountain time. virgo vibrates with the frequency of wanting to dot all the i’s & cross all the t’s of our life so that we feel safe. under the sway of virgo we are inclined to balance our checkbook so that we don’t have to worry about our rent or mortgage check (you remember what that is, right?) bouncing so that we can keep a roof over our head & make doctors’ appointments or schedule a massage so that we keep our physical container in optimal shape.
hasta brings the lesson that, despite the perception of virgo as being practical, there is strong mystical potential here. hasta is ruled by savitur, an aspect of surya, the sun, who is invoked in the gayatri mantra. we chant the gayatri to connect to the sun within, the divine within, understanding that we are vehicles for the divine, that what we manifest, what we offer literally or metaphorically with our hands, our hastas, comes through grace not our own efforts, that we are not the doers. knowing that can take a huge load off, no?!
it’s the tenth lunar day, the tenth phase of the waning moon, which is connected to dharma, to upholding the truth, which can be interpreted as svadharma, our personal truth, our personal expression of our highest self, or truth with a capital T, the truth by which the universe & everything in it operates. if our actions aren’t dharmic, they’re adharmic. sometimes we only know what’s right by knowing what’s wrong, not right. the sanskrit expression neti neti, which means “not this, not that,” is a formula we can use to separate the wheat from the chaff, to know our truth or Truth.
monday is infused with the moon’s superpower, which is our ability to feel & trust what we feel, to trust our heart wisdom, aka our intuition. sanskrit scholar & wisdom-carrier manorama counsels us to “set aside time each week to listen to your intuition.” there’s no better day than monday to do so, so why not put that on your schedule today?
& 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.
