it’s thursday, october 26, & moon is in pisces, in the starspace called uttarabhadra. pisces vibrates with the frequency of surrendering into all that is, letting ourselves float in the great cosmic ocean of consciousness, grok that we are each not a drop in the ocean but the ocean in a drop, as rumi said. “sometimes learning to surrender can feel as if you’re dying,” says the “surrender” card (which i just happened to pull two seconds ago!) in tosha silver’s divine abundance oracle deck. “the ego learns what’s hardest: to stop trying to control the whole universe.”
uttarabhadra is the counterpart to yesterday’s purvabhadra. while jupiter’s rulership of purva gave us an insight, saturn’s rulership of uttara gives us the determination to do something about that insight. but/& in true saturnian fashion, not too fast! if our hesitation is based on wisdom, yay, if on physical or mental laziness, i.e. procrastination, not so much. & like today’s tithi, there’s a connection to waking up from the state of deep sleep & tapping into shiva consciousness. what’ll it be?
it’s the thirteenth lunar day, the thirteenth phase of the waxing moon, which is also called pradosha, or “flawless one,” & is said to remove all shortcomings & increase all abundance! who couldn’t use a bit (or more!) of that today? “on the thirteenth lunar day, nature assists the worshiper in waking up from his mental deep sleep & in becoming aware of the fourth state (turiya),” wrote swami sivananda. “the yogi who practices his yoga on pradosha … gets these experiences of lord shiva quite readily.” if you need encouragement to do your practices, here you go!
thursday is ruled by jupiter, who gives us hope, which we may need now more than ever. if you are having a dark night of the soul know that this too will pass. also know that there are a lot of intense energies at play & interplaying right now, coming to a head with the full moon & eclipse on saturday. jupiter & mars are having a standoff, fo’ sure, so while jupiter does give us hope, he also expands/increases, & may be making us feel angrier, more underappreciated. more tomorrow on all the planets in the eclipse mix! meanwhile, beware making crucial decisions, especially those made from ego rather than generosity of spirit.
& 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.
