it’s tuesday, october 5, & moon is in virgo, in the starspace called uttaraphalguni until midday, then in hasta, where the new moon is going to be tomorrow. virgo can be a worrywart, but in a good way. virgo vibrates with the frequency of creating a safe container for our lives by seeing what’s amiss & anticipating what might go wrong. virgo is opposite pisces, which vibrates with the frequency of letting go & which is where the full moon was two weeks ago. virgo wants control, pisces not. until we are fully liberated, it is helpful to incorporate both into our lives, to have a balance. i am reminded of the mantra my writing teacher phil schultz used to recite: “technique will set you free.” it is when we know the rules, when our lives are in order, that we feel safe enough to explore, go off-road.
uttaraphalguni (see yesterday’s post for more) brings the lesson that when we make contracts with others based on love & respect, on being in alignment, on mutual benefit, they will bring material & spiritual success. hasta means “hand” & brings the lesson that we are not the doers, that we can’t fix everything, control anything but how we respond to what arises in the present moment, that we offer ourselves & our gifts into the world with an open hand not a closed fist, release rather than cling.
it’s the fifteenth lunar day, the fifteenth phase of the waning moon, which is the last phase & is known as amavasya & results in the new moon. so ask yourself how all of the above resonates & how you can incorporate those energies into the next lunar cycle, where you can use a little more structure to facilitate a little more surrender.
tuesday is ruled by mars, who gives us courage, is our fighting spirit. tuesday is also hanuman’s day. hanuman was very mars like, courageously serving lord rama, but doing so with love & devotion. it was love that allowed hanuman to see past his limiting beliefs & tap into powers he didn’t even know he had—how else could he have made that great leap over the ocean to lanka?! how can devotion to something greater than yourself free you to take courageous actions?
& that’s your daily bliss! which is a kind 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.
