it’s monday, october 5, & moon is in taurus, in the starspace called krittika. taurus creates an environment of security, of comfort, a place where our material needs are met, our desires fulfilled, where we hew toward beautiful things & experiences, like love. taurus wants us to enjoy the good things in life & there’s nothing wrong with that, but the key here is to enjoy what we already have, be content, not to keep pursuing more more more, acquiring more more more, looking for the next best thing, whether stuff or experiences or relationships.
krittika is symbolized by a razor or dagger & invites us to slice off, to cut (krit) away, what doesn’t serve us, what doesn’t bring eternal contentment. ultimately that means cutting through the veils of illusion, our misperceptions about who we are & why we are. along the way we can rid ourselves of limiting beliefs, whatever keeps us small, like fear of owning who we are, for example. as humans we are endowed with creative energy, but we are often afraid to express it, afraid of being judged.
“to live a creative life, we must lose our fear of being wrong.” — joseph pearce
we can also practice using the purifying power of this nakshatra in less subtle, more tangible, ways, which is probably why i woke up this morning thinking, “i really need to mow the lawn & cut out all the dead stuff in my veggie patch.” time to play with metaphorical or literal sharp objects!
it’s the fourth phase of the waning moon, which is related to lord ganesha, the bringer & remover of obstacles, the one who loves us so much that he puts up roadblocks that we have to circumvent, b/c that’s how we learn & grow. face & embrace any challenges that come up today & thank ganesha for them.
monday is the moon’s day, a day to deepen our heart connection to the people in our lives. of course we can open our hearts to an extreme, go soooo deep, feel sooo much that it hurts. but as emily dickinson wrote, “pain prepares us for peace.”
& that’s your daily bliss! which is a kind of lunar weather report. the moon is our consciousness & i hope that by unpacking the cosmic forces influencing it every day, you’ll be better able to understand & thus lean into its ever-changing vibrations & use them to your advantage.
