it’s thursday, september 17, & moon is in virgo, in the starspace called uttaraphalguni. virgo wants everything decluttered, organized & spic ‘n’ span. virgo wants us to get micro, get out the toothbrush to get into the cracks, delve into the details of our life. b/c virgo is a bit of a worrywart & just wants to make sure we’re safe & healthy.

uttaraphalguni is associated with contracts, especially sacred ones like marriage, b/c shiva & parvati were married under this star. this asterism is auspicious for contracts/agreements of all kinds, for making things official & doing so with joy, for joy. just as marriage (often) produces children &, say, signing a publishing contract results in a book (unless you blow your advance & skip town without writing it!), what we commit to has a result. sometimes commitment is its own reward, but we usually want some fruits, some results, from our commitments, from our efforts. what do you want & what are you willing to commit to in order to bring it to fruition? & is there joy involved? joy is the secret ingredient!

the new moon in virgo in uttaraphalguni sets the stage for the coming lunar month. what part of your life needs to be decluttered & organized, cleaned up? what part of your life could use more discernment? what part of your life could benefit from more joyful commitment? clue: whichever house virgo occupies in your chart is the area of life you are meant to focus on. if you don’t know, ask me! aryaman is the presiding deity of this asterism. he brings patronage & kindness & friendliness. he wants to help. he will do favors for you if you ask. ask & you shall receive! make the most of this new moon energy!

jupiter rules thursday & he is in his own sign of sagittarius, where he feels strong. he’s been retrograde until now, so we have been revisiting our beliefs & what inspires us, assessing whether we are really in alignment with our highest purpose, as we get ready to move forward, to take action based on those reconsiderations.

& 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.
