it’s tuesday, october 13, & moon is in leo, in the starspace called magha until late morning, then in purva phalguni. leo creates an atmosphere in which we can each shine, in which we want to shine, to express our individuality, our unique manifestation of the divine. when each of us shines, we give permission to others to shine. imagine what the world would be like if everyone shone like the sun … all the time! ok, maybe we’d need sunglasses, but not such a terrible consequence!
magha (see yesterday’s post for more) invites us to honor our ancestors, to consider how we are an extension of them, how our life is a continuation of theirs. purva phalguni is ruled by bhaga, the god of delight, and he wants us to enjoy what we’ve got, to be in-joy, to experience the pleasures of the material world, especially if they involve others. bhaga invites us to feel full to overflowing with that juiciness, so that we want to share it, shower others with it. be generous with what you’ve got today.
it’s the twelfth phase of the waxing moon, which is related to savitur, the sattvic animating power of the sun (aka surya); savitur evokes our vitality. and since sun also rules leo, this is an especially good day to tap into our soul(ar) power, the sun within, by chanting the gayatri mantra. if you don’t know it, you can look it up—that’s what google is for.
mars rules tuesday. among other things, mars gives us the courage to vanquish enemies, whether internal or external. if you were born after sunrise on a tuesday, mars represents one aspect of your unique karma. how does physical prowess show up in your life? do you shrink from athletics or are you the first one to sign up for power volleyball on the beach? are you able to rise in your career by overcoming perceived or actual obstacles, including people who might impede your progress? basically, are you able to embody the virtues of mars?
& that’s your daily bliss! which is a kind of lunar weather report. the moon is our consciousness & i hope that by unpacking the cosmic forces influencing it every day, you’ll be better able to understand & thus lean into its ever-changing vibrations & use them to your advantage.
