it’s thursday, october 21, & moon is in aries, in the starspace called bharani. in the environment of fiery mars-ruled aries, we are inclined to be courageously guided by our inspiration, to follow our gut, fulfill our desires. which is all good, except that under the sway of aries we are also inclined to act first, think later. sometimes that works out well, sometimes not.  

bharani brings the lesson that sometimes when we act without thinking first there are consequences to deal with. well, ok, there are always consequences to our actions, but sometimes they are welcome, sometimes not. bharani supports us in assessing the results of our actions & correcting our course if need be, making amends if need be, deciding whether we should take one step back & have a do-over or whether it’s ok to take another step forward.

it’s the first lunar day, the first phase of the waning moon, so we may still be feeling the fullness of the full moon theme, which was about the “me” & “thee” in relationships. it’s a good day to meditate on what came up for us around who we be with others, what insights—inspirations!—we received & how we are going to incorporate them.

jupiter brings his special sauce to thursday, inspiring us to live our highest purpose, our best lives. to be inspired is to be filled with spirit (from the latin spiritus), to feel the presence within of the divine or supernatural, in the sense of receiving a truth or idea from what seems like out of nowhere, to just know. i mean, there is no recipe for inspiration—when it lands, it just does, right? we can, however, create the conditions for it to land by being receptive. it might come in the form of a podcast or a movie or a chance encounter. it might land while we’re at a stoplight or on the trail or in the checkout line at whole foods or cleaning out our closet. every moment offers the possibility for us to uplevel our lives—we just have to be fully present so we don’t miss the message. as jupiter is now direct, may we all be continually filled with inspiration! may we all continually feel spirit’s presence!

& that’s your daily bliss! which is a kind 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.
