oi, so much going on—it’s a busy day in the heavens! it’s friday, october 16, & moon is in virgo this morning, then moves into libra. the starspace called chitra provides the segue between these two signs, allowing the moon to cross over with support. not only does the moon change signs today, but so does the sun (do take it easy if you can; do lower your expectations), also moving from virgo into libra. both of the luminaries occupying the same part of the sky is why we have a new moon today. moon in virgo invites us to organize our life, inside & out. moon in libra wants us to stop all the fussing & turn toward the people in our life, enjoy the give & take, albeit making sure there are equal parts give & take.
chitra is ruled by vishwakarma, the divine architect, who, with his imagination & intellect, created amazing objects—like the flying chariots in “the ramayana”—manifesting them out of the void, out of emptiness. yes, humans knew from flying thousands of years ago! this energy sets the stage as the moon begins to build, to wax: what do you desire to bring into form? how can you upcycle something to make it newer & better?
“emptiness is form, form is emptiness.” — from the heart sutra
the new moon, aka the dark moon, means there is no light coming from the moon, it is drained. which means we, too, feel drained, utterly empty. but emptiness does not mean nothingness; it means we are a blank slate, that what we are full of is potential. empty means we are utterly receptive, ready to begin again, begin growing, manifesting again.
this new moon is also the portal to the ten-day cycle of maha navaratri, celebrating the infinite wisdom & sublime creativity of the divine feminine.
venus rules friday & wants us to bathe in whatever brings us pleasure—people, food, nature, art. if you were born after sunrise on a friday, venus areas of life are where you’ve got karmic homework in this lifetime. how are you doing with inviting beauty in your life? how are you doing in the love realm?
& 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.
