it’s wednesday, october 19, & moon is in cancer, in the starspace called ashlesha. under the sway of cancer, we feel heart-connected to everyone & everything. which is gorgeous, & can also be too much. like we can be sooooo empathetic, so tuned into what others are feeling, that we prioritize everyone else’s needs over our own. unless you are a mother with a newborn that works for about a new york minute—& even new moms need an occasional break.
ashlesha is ruled by the nagas, semidivine serpent beings that are half-human half-cobra. serpents, like snakes, glide effortlessly around obstacles, slip between rocks & crevices, without getting stuck & without letting anything stick to them. this asterism brings a lesson about how we traverse the landscape of our own lives, whether we get stuck on, cling to, our negative thoughts, our limiting beliefs, let them poison our minds, or whether we use our superpower of awareness to transform them into wisdom & thus transform ourselves; for snakes in hindu mythology are wizards in disguise. tap into your wizardly naga energy today!
it’s the tenth lunar day, the tenth phase of the waning moon, which is called purna (full). this tithi (lunar phase) is ruled by dharma & supports the completion of whatever you are working on or want to start working on, especially—need i say?—if that work is virtuous, that is, aligned with your highest purpose & is in the highest interest of the world. nothing like keeping the stakes high!
wednesday is ruled by mercury, planet of speech. tantrik scholar chris wallis says that “ordinary speech is constantly informed by deeper levels of consciousness & can point you toward those deeper realities.” how we speak is shaped by how we think, which is shaped by our deep unconscious convictions about reality, which are in turn “partial articulations of the singular divine awareness that freely chooses to express itself in a rhythm of contracted & expanded forms.” translation: how we speak, the words we use, is a reflection of the quality of our consciousness. & our words “powerfully shape other people’s experience of reality & our own, & therefore must be used with care.” it’s an especially good day to use our words wisely—for our own sake & the sake of others.
& 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. may it inspire you to enlighten up a little more each day.
