it’s tuesday, october 25, & moon is in libra, in the starspace called swati, which is where the eclipse was—it ended just as i started writing. even tho it wasn’t visible in the states (alarmingly, it was very visible over ukraine, & that area of the world doesn’t need more intensity!) doesn’t mean we weren’t affected by it here. libra is the sign of relationships & eclipses reveal where we’ve still got karma to deal with (see yesterday’s post for more), with the actors sun, moon, ketu (the south node) at play. we get to ask ourselves what baggage we are still carrying from past relationships—familial, fraternal, business, romantic.
moon is the mother: what did your mom reflect to you about how to relate to women? about nourishing others? yourself? about how to relate to men?
sun is the father: what did your father reflect to you about how to relate to men & other authority figures—teachers, bosses, the gov’t? about how to relate to women?
what did your parents reflect to you about how to treat your beloved, how to be in relationship with another, how to create intimacy?
how much of that primal imprinting are you still carrying? how much imprinting from past romantic relationships? are you comparing your current partner to past partners?
ketu wants us to let go of all that, which, yes, can be easier said than done. how can you release your karmic debt with others & set yourself free, forgive & hopefully forget? we forgive for ourselves: as nelson mandela said, “forgiveness liberates the soul, it removes fear. that’s why it’s such a powerful weapon.”
swati’s symbol is the sword—can you wield forgiveness like a sword?
it’s the first lunar day, the first phase of the waxing moon, which is considered nanda (joyful) & is related to brahma, the ur-creator. this tithi (lunar phase) supports new growth & creativity, but/& since we are still in the eclipse portal, it’s probably best to be thinking about rather than doing something about it, maybe just meditating on it.
tuesday is ruled by mars, who gives us the inner strength to, yes, forgive, b/c that’s how we grow spiritually. &, no, spiritual growth is not for the faint of heart!
& 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.
