it’s monday, november 9, & moon is in leo in the starspace called magha. leo is the sign of the sovereign, the king of the jungle; it is where we feel into our personal power over our realm, where we acknowledge our responsibility for it, our dominion over it. but this power does not come from us, it comes from above; we are mere vessels for it to flow through. in order to be a true vessel, we have to get out of our own way. the greek word “kenosis” means “emptying,” & christian theology suggests that it is only through self-emptying, ie, ridding oneself of the small self, the ego, that one can become truly receptive to god, to the divine, that one can become a true vessel. an enlightened king rules not by thinking of i-me-mine, but by thinking we-us-ours, by feeling into “not mine but thine be done,” by taking responsibility, not by taking for themself.
magha is ruled by the pitris, the ancestors, by our vast lineages of forebears—our parents & other biological ancestors, for sure, but also, say, the teachers who saw a spark in us & kindled it, or inspired us, anyone who did what we want to do & made us realize it was possible. without cézanne & rousseau & tribal art, there would be no cubism—picasso didn’t conjure it whole out of the ether. the best way to continue receiving the gifts of the ancestors is to honor them, acknowledge them.
it’s the ninth lunar day, which is connected to serpent energy. serpents contain venom but they are also harbingers of wisdom. wisdom comes through being able to alchemize toxins into knowledge, which only comes by facing them, dealing with them, staring them down until their power over us dissipates. forgiveness is one way to transform poison into something benign or even better, into love. who can you forgive today, starting maybe with yourself?
monday is the moon’s day. mondays are good days to feel into our domestic bliss, whether that means our family & children or just the luxe of having a roof over our heads & food in our fridges.
& 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.
