it’s tuesday, october 27, & moon is in aquarius until midafternoon, then in pisces, in purvabhadra, the starspace that acts as a bridge between those two signs. so the first part of the day will be about our sense of responsibility for the world around us, while the latter part will bring the realization that there is more to our existence than, say, the greed & hypocrisy & inhumanity & vandalism & mendacity of this administration & its enablers. & if you are feeling beyond frustrated, if you are feeling angry & helpless, might i suggest grabbing a pillow & screaming & cursing into it?! i just did, &, wow, i feel much better, much more hopeful, much clearer.
purvabhadra gives us that flash of insight that allows us to see beyond this mortal coil, gives us a glimpse of the nature of reality, gives us perspective on our place in the universe. & it is a fierce energy, allowing us to use that insight to conquer our negative tendencies, our false beliefs about who & what we are or can be, our mental afflictions—basically, our internal enemies. got mental afflictions, aka citta vrittis? see below for more.
it’s the twelfth phase of the waxing moon, which is connected to the sun. unlike the flash of insight we get from purvabhadra, the sun’s light is always shining, always illuminating our life, always bringing clarity to our vision, always allowing us to then take action steps aligned with the light—the light out there & the light within. this tithi (lunar phase) brings auspiciousness—if you want to make a positive impact in your life, the time is now!
tuesday is ruled by mars, our fighting spirit, our spiritual-warrior-ness. use this energy for its highest purpose, to get angry & stop procrastinating & make war on what master shantideva calls our true enemies:
i should therefore never turn back
even for a single moment from the task
of destroying the mental afflictions.
i should get attached to them,
& learn to hate & make war.
these kinds of mental afflictions
act to destroy the mental afflictions
& so are not counted among them.
& that’s your daily bliss! which is a kind of lunar weather report. it is my hope that the daily bliss can help you align with the day’s cosmic energy & find a little more bliss; that it inspires you to enlighten up a little more each day.
