it’s wednesday, october 16, & moon is in the starspace called krittika. krittika straddles aries & taurus: it occupies a few degrees in fiery aries, mostly in earthy taurus, and by the time you read this (unless you are reading over my shoulder right now) moon will be in the taurus portion of this asterism. moon likes being in taurus, where the earth provides stability in contrast to moon’s emotional flowiness. flow is all well & fine, it’s lovely to connect through our feeling nature, but having a container for our emotions makes us feel safer, calmer. so enjoy the calm before the next storm—b/c as my lama would always say, we’re always either in crisis or between crises. not trying to be a downer, but that’s the truth, right?
krittika is ruled by agni, the god of fire & fire itself. the energy of krittika is fierce & destructive as it allows us to cut (krit) through our challenges (tika), burn them to ashes if need be. & fire gives us mental clarity, laser vision, to know what needs burning, what not. agni is the fire into which we make offerings & is the conduit for them—he carries them from us to the highest realms, to the gods or god, answering our prayers.
where is there excess in your life? what can you excise? what are you praying for? where do you need/want help from the universe? of course, we’re the ones who answer our prayers, by being clear about what we desire (hopefully not just a new mini cooper!) & humbling ourselves enough to receive the wisdom that tells us what to do, where the next step on our path lies.
it’s the third phase of the waning moon, which invites us to be flexible (sometimes whether we like it or not!), to be willing to think outside the box, be open to change.
wednesday is mercury’s day. mercury is our ability to communicate, to share ideas & to be discriminating about the information we take in. mercury is hanging out in libra for another week or so, so, between that & fact that moon is in taurus, we should be feeling pretty mentally calm & balanced today.
& that’s your daily bliss! jyotish, vedic astrology, is the science of light. if you want to shine more light on your life, contact me for a session! ~.~
