it’s monday, october 30, & moon is in taurus, in the starspace called krittika. taurus vibrates with the frequency of our deepest sense of comfort, which feels like sinking into an overstuffed couch with a good book, cup of tea & some dark chocolate, maybe a cat on our lap. note: it’s an internal feeling & not dependent on external accoutrements, like that cushy couch or bar of askinosie (or fine & raw!) chocolate. with all the tumult in the world, in the external, it can be challenging to find the peace within, & may even seem selfish or frivolous. but “even though things are not as we would like,” said thich nhat hanh, “we can still be content, knowing we are doing our best & will continue to do so. if we don’t know how to breath, smile & live every moment of our life deeply, we will never be able to help anyone.”
krittika is ruled by agni, god of sacred fire, agent & element of purification, insight, vision. this asterism brings a lesson about burning up the impurities in our life, tossing negativity, anything that is negating our authenticity, into the fire & turning it into ash. what needs to, gets to, go? who or what is impeding you on your journey? can you say “thank you & goodbye”?
it’s the second lunar day, the second phase of the waning moon, which grounds the creative inspiration of the first tithi (lunar day), encourages & nourishes its growth. this tithi resonates well with monday, the moon’s day, b/c it is ruled by the moon, & according to the agni purana the combination with krittika will attract great prosperity. it is a day to be our biggest, most brilliant, talented & fabulous selves, to share our inspiration, spread it wide. for, as marianne williamson said, our “playing small does not serve the world. … we are meant to make manifest the glory of god that is within us. it’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone.”
monday is ruled by the moon, planet of peace, inner & outer. moon wants everyone to feel peaceful, for the world to be at peace. with the moon exalted in krittika, it’s an especially good day to remember that peace is not the destination, but the road we walk. can you take another step on that road today?
& 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.
