it’s friday, november 5, & moon moves from libra into scorpio while being transported & supported by the starspace called vishakha. while libra vibrates with the frequency of relationship harmony, scorpio vibrates with the frequency of the emotional (& largely unfounded, irrational!) fears that arise when we are in relationship—we let ourselves be honest, vulnerable, & then we’re like, whoa, did i reveal too much? does the other person still like/love me? what did that squint in their eye really mean? in the potentially volatile waters of scorpio, we are invited to watch the churning, the rising & falling of emotional waves, rather than getting sucked under, & maybe drowned, by them. if magic is a shift in perception from fear to love, can we love our fears, notice what they are revealing about us, & thus diffuse their power over us? yes. we. can.
vishakha is ruled by both indra & agni (or indragni, if you prefer), reminding us that there is a codependent (in the best way) relationship between king (indra) & priest (agni)—the king can’t rule without the blessings of the priest, & the priest can’t bless without the financial support of the king. this asterism brings the lesson that when our power is aligned with our highest intentions, with something bigger than ourselves, with the grace of the divine, we will, eventually but inevitably, be successful.
it’s the first lunar day, the first phase of the waxing moon, so not surprising that just as the moon is beginning to grow anew, we are feeling the urge to create ourselves, or some part of ourselves, anew as well.
friday is ruled by venus & it’s considered vedic date night. it makes way more sense to party when venus is in the house rather than on saturday, when stern, old man saturn is. venus wants to have fun; saturn’s idea of fun is meditating, which, don’t get me wrong, is its own kind of fun, but def not the venusian kind of fun that can be shared with others. venus knows that, as ram dass has said, “the lesson in this incarnation is to love.” that’s why we’ve got bodies, that’s why we’ve got feelings. so don’t be bashful about getting your embodied beingness on 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.
