it’s wednesday, october 28, & moon is in pisces, in the starspace called uttarabhadra. pisces creates an atmosphere in which we feel, with our heart-mind, into our metaphysical nature, to what lies beyond, comes after (meta = after) what is physical, what has form, to all that is transcendent. in yogic terms, what has taken form is prakriti, & has taken form through the three gunas, or qualities—tamas, rajas & sattva; i.e., inertia, passion & purity (that’s the cliff’s notes translation!)—& what has not, or rather, the source of what took form, what is behind form, is purusha, pure awareness, our cosmic self. ok, enough metaphysical chatter for one day.
the energy of the asterism uttarabhadra brings commitment to that flash of insight we got yesterday in purvabhadra & invites us to use that commitment to bore into the depths of that insight, into the depths of our heart-mind, into our psyche, to extract the pearls of wisdom & then use that wisdom for our transformation, for transformation that will last. this is why it’s helpful to learn how to swim as a child—we can’t get to the depths if we’re afraid to dive beneath the surface, if we’re afraid of drowning. let’s put on our masks & make sure our tanks are full of oxygen & d-i-v-e!
it’s the thirteenth phase of the waxing moon, inviting us to connect to our inner bhaga, the god of delight. what brings you joy, in a relative or absolute sense—friends, lovers, art, food, nature, god? so hang with your friends or romantic partner, make art or go to the museum (or do a virtual drive-through), do your happy dance in the kitchen or grab a meal at your fave restaurant, sit in front of your altar & meditate or pray. do the joy however you do it.
wednesday is ruled by mercury, so it’s a good for gathering info & communicating & using technology to do so. got a blog post to post? a newsletter to send? an event to promote? biz correspondence to send? research to do? get-out-the-vote phone calls to make? tele boots to sell? need i say more?
& 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.
