it’s friday, october 21, & moon is in leo, in the starspace called purvaphalguni. in the environment of sun-ruled leo, we want to shine as generously, as selflessly, as the sun does, light up the world around us with our brilliance, our rays. not out of ego but b/c we can, b/c sharing our unique gifts, our authenticity, with the world is what we’re here to do. it doesn’t help anyone to be a dim bulb. in fact, quite the opposite: the more we let our light shine, the more others feel the permission to do the same. under the sway of leo, we have the humility, rather than the hubris, to be magnanimous with our light, knowing that we are serving by doing so.
purvaphalguni is represented by two legs of a bed, but more like a daybed or chaise, maybe a hammock, which is where we’d take a siesta or partake of some afternoon delight (hey, it’s friday, venus’s day!). this asterism brings a lesson about the importance of taking a timeout from our responsibilities, enjoying the fruits (phala = fruit) of our hard work, & how much better life is when we let ourselves rest up, recharge.
it’s the twelfth lunar day, the twelfth phase of the waning moon, which is called bhadra (auspicious) & is ruled by the sun, like leo. sun gives us clarity of vision & the power to take action to bring our vision to light. whatever we do in alignment with our vision today will be blessed. seize the day!
friday is ruled by venus, planet of relationships, who is hanging out these days in his (yes, sorry, all planets are still considered male!) home sign of libra, sign of relationships, so there is an especial focus on the quality of our relationships now, which is determined by how each of us shows up, whether as who we truly, madly, deeply are or as, say, who we think we need to be to be liked/loved. “authenticity is the daily practice of letting go of who we think we’re supposed to be & embracing who we are,” says brené brown. the more authentic we are, the juicier our relationships will be. if our relationships fail on the juice-o-meter, we get to ask ourselves how authentic we are being.
& 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.
