it’s monday, october 10, & moon is in aries, in the starspace called ashwini, but we had a full moon yesterday in pisces, in the starspace called revati, & i’m going to share about that if you don’t mind, cause full moons are big events, like their counterpart new moons. while new moons begin the monthly lunar cycle, full moons complete it, begin the latter half of the cycle, provide a course correction, balance, harmonize the new moon energy.
the new moon was in virgo, in the starspace called uttaraphalguni, which invited us to focus on the details of our earthly existence, to ground our lives in the micro (virgo), especially in the details of our agreements with others (uttaraphalguni is the marriage star & ruled by aryaman, who blesses contracts), to make sure our contracts are based on what’s loving for all parties. the full moon in pisces, in revati, invites us to stop worrying over the details, to stop focusing on the micro, to stop using our ego mind, & to surrender to cosmic knowing, feel into the macro, to trust in the mystery, to trust that pushan, the ruling deity of revati, has our backs & is guiding us, like the shepherd he is, exactly where we need to go.
mercury, as the ruler of virgo, is sort of the consummate student & thinks he can create a sense of control over our lives by learning learning learning. jupiter, who rules pisces, is the consummate teacher & guide & knows that control is an illusion. mercury contracts, jupiter expands. we need both energies & to harmonize them—the energy of effort (mercury) & of grace (jupiter), of the student & of the teacher, of seeking & wisdom.
to paraphrase chris wallis, the ego is a persistent contraction of awareness, but when it “reaches the state of complete expansion, it merges into the ocean of consciousness.” virgo is that contraction, pisces that ocean. or to paraphrase my teacher sharon gannon, you’ve done your best, now let god do the rest!
so our moon work for the half of the lunar cycle initiated by yesterday’s full moon is to trust that we’ve done what we can do, to let go & let god (as sharon also loves to say).
& that’s your daily bliss! which is a 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.
