it’s friday, october 8, & moon is in libra, in the starspace called vishakha. libra vibrates with the frequency of mutual benefit in relationships, whether they’re business, platonic, familial, or romantic. for relationships to be mutually beneficial, both parties have to be seen & accepted for where they are in the moment, not where we wish they were or where they have been, so their needs in the moment can be met. relationships aren’t static b/c life isn’t. 

“in our relationships, how much can we allow them to become new, & how much do we cling to what they used to be yesterday?” — ram dass

a relationship is a living, breathing thing. when we cling, we strangle it. are you letting your relationships breathe & evolve or are you strangling them to death?

vishakha brings the lesson of coming to a fork in the road & choosing one way with conviction & single-pointed focus, not wavering. think of how when arjuna pulled back his bowstring all he saw was the target he was aiming his arrow at, all else disappeared. it’s a good day to sharpen our focus, make sure our aim is true!

it’s the third lunar day, the third phase of the waxing moon, which invites us to find another way if necessary, to be ready & able to pivot, to even INjoy the pivot, try something new, not be so attached to the way we’ve been doing or being.

friday is ruled by venus, who also rules libra, so the theme of relationships is heightened today. venus, who wants to connect & hold, has the diplomatic skills to do so, but may be feeling that those chops are all used up right now. it may be time to give diplomacy a rest, to stop talking & start looking deep into relationships that might not be working as well or as smoothly as we’d like, to get to the root of the matter. we might need to take a break from them, or break free from them. what did sting say? “if you love somebody set them free!” that somebody could be you or the other person. sometimes not being in relationship is the most loving thing for both parties even if they love each other hard.

that said … moon is going to be debilitated, in scorpio, this weekend & a bunch of other cosmic mischief abounds, so don’t make any hasty decisions!

& 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.
