it’s monday, november 6, & moon is in leo, in the starspace called magha. you know what helen reddy said, “i am lion, hear me roar!” ok, she said “woman,” not “lion”—whatever! leo is the lion & vibrates with the frequency of feeling our power & letting everyone else know we’re feeling it. &, wow, if we are all feeling it, it’s gonna get noisy out there! but how awesome would it be if we all felt in our power & wielded it magnanimously, as sattvic leo is meant to?
magha is ruled by the pitris, our ancestors, all those who came before us, which is, um, all those—as in our ancestry goes back to adam & eve, or whomever you think were the first humans. &, really, all the way back to the stardust created during the first bang. &, if you can wrap your head around it, which i admit i have trouble doing, to whatever was there before the big bang that exploded our universe out of it. “within you is the historical & microscopic film of aeons & ages, mankind & creation,” wrote swami satyananda. “there is nothing you are not.” wow, put that in your pipe, puff on it & tell me how that makes you feel!
it’s the ninth lunar day (tithi), the ninth phase of the waning moon, which is related to the water element & is ruled by the nagas, the serpents who bore into our deepest inner recesses to extract wisdom. this tithi can be incredibly challenging as we bore inward into our emotional turbulence &/or existential questions for which there never seem to be satisfactory answers. but/& it does help us overcome obstacles, whether inner or outer. meanwhile, the number 9 represents our lineage—spiritual & otherwise—& reminds us to know where we have been so we can know where we are going. this tithi supports us in our personal journey as long as we respect those who made it possible. inward & onward, people!
monday is ruled by moon, who wants peace for one & all, wants everyone to feel at peace in their hearts. “the war is not the disease itself,” said osho. “peace is missing in the heart—hence the war exists. the war is a consequence: more peace, less war. if peace becomes predominant, war will disappear.” may we each find a bit more peace in our hearts today & reflect that outward.
& 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.
