it’s tuesday, november 3, & moon is in taurus, in the starspace called rohini until early afternoon, then in mrigashira. taurus is where we get an inkling of happiness.
“the desire for happiness is essential to [people]. it is the motivator of all our acts. the most venerable, clearly understood, enlightened & reliable constant in the world is not only that we want to be happy, but that we want only to be so. our very nature requires it of us.” — saint augustine
our challenge is to realize that all that glitters cannot bring happiness; all that glitters eventually rusts & fades & disintegrates. it’s ok to enjoy it, but not a good idea to get too attached to it, to think it can do more than it can.
rohini invites us to enjoy creature comforts, but enough is enough; mrigashira makes us restless, gives us the inclination to search for more, but not, say, more food or sex, but the more, the morsel, that will bring true happiness, the kind of happiness that doesn’t rust & fade, that is eternal.
the third phase of the waning moon becomes the fourth early this afternoon. if we are flexible in the earlier part of the day, are open to new ideas, are able to think outside the box, we just might be able to feel victorious in the latter part—like, say, being able to win at chess by being able to tap into our subconscious guidance.
tuesday is ruled by mars, & i think it’s safe to say that today is apt to feel unruly, especially b/c mars is retrograde & is getting a stern gaze from saturn, intensifying all things martian—remember, mars is the god of war & our president is fond of invoking the word “martial.” so let’s keep cool heads, cross our fingers (mudras never hurt!), & lean into the light, set the heart intention for what is in everyone’s best interest to prevail, eventually but inevitably. oh, yeah, mars is also aspecting the sun, which is our sense of personal power/identity/agency, inflaming the us- vs them-ness in the air. double-good reason to just hunker (bunker?) down.
& 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.
