it’s friday, september 16, & moon is in taurus, in the starspace called rohini. taurus is all about our comfort zone, which is lovely, b/c who doesn’t want to be comfortable? but too much comfort can make us complacent, unmotivated, can make us afraid of not being comfortable. the only way we can be truly comfortable is to be comfortable with our discomfort, as pema chodron has so famously observed. so we look to the sign opposite taurus, which is scorpio, the sign of all the discomfort we fear, our discomfort zone, for balance, to shake things up & remind us that, hey, a little discomfort ain’t gonna kill us & will actually make us only stronger &, thus, um, more comfortable in our beingness.
rohini means “growing one” & is represented by an ox cart, a symbol of fertility, as it is the vehicle for conveying the bounty of the earth, the fruit of the seeds we have planted & nourished, & thus brings a lesson about nourishing what we want to grow, create, manifest, especially on a material level.
it’s the seventh lunar day, the seventh phase of the waning moon, which is related to indra, who started off high-vibing but got taken down by his ego, & whose reputation suffered as a consequence. who can’t relate to one false move seeming to destroy the myriad moves in alignment with truth that came before, metaphorically canceling ourselves or feeling canceled by others? yes, we all have our good moments & not-so-good moments. a little compassion for ourselves & others would go a long way. &, yeah, let’s all try to be a little more humble today; compassion is a great good vehicle for doing so.
friday is ruled by venus, planet of love—& relationships & generally enjoying our embodied earthly existence—as is taurus, so it’s a double-good day to double-down on who we love & what we love doing, what brings us pleasure, brings us more into the flow of love; for, as neem karoli baba has said, “love is the strongest medicine. it is more powerful than electricity.” the world & all the beings in it need as much of that powerful medicine as it can get right now, & if we are feeling the love, we are spreading it.
& that’s your daily bliss! which is a 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.
