it’s wednesday, october 18, & moon is in scorpio, moving from the starspace called anuradha into jyeshtha around 9:30 a.m. MDT. scorpio vibrates with the frequency of our fears & paranoias, of our darkest thoughts, our emotional instability, our wildest, most untethered imagination. as sadhguru has explained, & you know as well as i do, our fears are about what doesn’t exist. people who suffer from something that doesn’t exist are often called crazy, right? he asks, is what happened yesterday in your memory or is it a living reality right now? is what may happen tomorrow in your imagination or is it a living reality? anything that we are not experiencing right this second, in the present moment, is either the past or the future, memory or imagination, both of which are the cause of the suffering scorpio brings. unless we are facing down a tiger right this second, our fears are most likely unwarranted, right?
jyeshtha (see yesterday’s post for anuradha) means “eldest” & is ruled by indra, the king of the gods. altho the odds were way against him, indra, with great courage & cunning, singlehandedly defeated the dragon vritra, who was holding the world’s waters hostage, thus returning prosperity to the earth. how can you embody the courage, wisdom & responsibility of an elder today, even if you are a young’un?
it’s the fourth lunar day, the fourth phase of the waxing moon, which is ruled by both yama, the lord of death, & ganesh, the lord of obstacles. we got a little practice yesterday about having to pivot, & today brings the possibility of having to pivot even more, as we may have bigger hurdles to leap over, feel even more stymied. we get to remember that smooth sailing, while easy & comfortable, doesn’t challenge us, that only, um, challenges challenge us, invite us to meet our edge, & that it’s through overcoming challenges that we grow, evolve. ganesh encourages us to say, “bring it,” to see obstacles as gifts from the universe designed for our transformation.
wednesday is owned by thinky mercury, who gives us the discriminating intelligence to collect data & form opinions, create a story. mercury is very close to the sun & ketu now, so our minds may be overactive, frenzied, we may not be thinking clearly. so let’s do pause & breathe before we share our opinions, make sure we get our story straight.
& that’s your daily bliss! which is a sort 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.
