it’s thursday, october 27, & moon is in scorpio, in the starspace called anuradha. scorpio vibrates with the frequency of our emotional vulnerability as a result, partly, of being in relationship (scorpio does, after all, follow libra), b/c in order to be in relationship, create true intimacy, we have to be vulnerable, & that is effing scary! it is where our fears & paranoias live—is s/he/they going to leave us? what did s/he/they really mean when they said “that”? scorpio is where the shadow parts of ourselves, whatever we shrink from facing, live.

but/& … “your shadow isn’t just full of painful things. it also contains all of the talents & gifts that you’ve been told to hide away to make others feel safe.”—tobemagnetic

what are you hiding from? what are you hiding from others? is that really serving you, making you fit for service?

anuradha is ruled by mitra, the divine friend, the one who always has our back, & is associated with radha: anuradha can actually be translated as “following in the footsteps of radha”; for anu = after, as in, following after. this asterism brings a lesson about being as devoted to our friends as radha was to krishna. when it comes to our people, we get to ask ourselves, “what would radha do?” WWRD, anyone? 

it’s the third lunar day, the third phase of the waxing moon, which is a jaya (victorious) tithi (moon phase). it’s a good day for building an army, doing construction, weddings, sowing seeds, starting a new job. if none of that applies (do we really need more armies?!), know that the day also supports/encourages flexibility & communication. like, if things don’t go as planned (do they ever?!), we get to pivot, try a different way, communicate if changing direction affects others or to ask for help from others. in this way we can have a victorious day, a best day ever.

thursday is ruled by jupiter, planet of beliefs. as contemplative psychologist dr. john churchill shared on a recent aubrey marcus podcast, beliefs are a psychoactive: “part of tantra is recognizing that if we’re going to have beliefs, which humans do, then let’s build the most beautiful fucking belief system, that’s like a fucking bulldozer, & is not going to be intimidated.” are your beliefs bulletproof? unintimidatable?

& 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.
