it’s wednesday, september 16, & moon is in the starspace called purvaphalguni, which occupies a sky-slice of leo. so we are still feeling into our sense of sovereignty, our individuality & ability to, desire to, express it out into the world, to walk with a sense of ownership through our world. not ownership in terms of “this is mine” but in terms of taking responsibility for, owning, our actions & how they impact the world around us. everything we do ripples outward from us, touches someone or something.
we are each like butterflies affecting the weather hundreds or thousands of miles away with the beat of our wings, our minutest actions, but how many of us actually think about that as we go through our day, make choices, starting with, say, what we eat or how we transport ourselves from place to place?
purvaphalguni is where, just like god on the seventh day, we rest on our laurels, enjoy our creation, take a nap in the hammock, maybe with someone else.
it’s the fifteenth phase of the waning moon, aka the dark moon, aka the pause before the moon begins to wax again. it is like the gap between an inhale & exhale, or exhale & inhale. according to the book of exodus, “in six days god made heaven & earth, & on the seventh day god rested, & was refreshed.” the word being translated as “refreshed” is “vaiynafesh,” which evidently means, “& god exhaled.” everyone needs a time out, a time to pause, to refresh, to feel empty, so they can be productive again—even god. be like god today & enjoy the spaciousness, the emptiness, the potent possibility, of the exhale.
mercury rules wednesday & has been hanging out in virgo, its sign of exaltation, lately. when a planet is exalted, it means it’s in its most happy place, where it is vibrating at its highest frequency, where it can do its dharma to the max. use this energy wisely & put your discriminating intelligence to work to, well, discriminate, so you can fine-tune your ideas & express them through your communications.
& 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.
