it’s monday, september 27, & moon is in taurus, in the starspace called mrigashira. taurus vibrates with the frequency of wanting to be happy for no reason. yeah, imagine that. imagine your happiness not being conditioned by who loves you or whether you have your favorite chocolate or whether you get a promotion or whether you can still squeeze into a size 6 whatever or whether the weather cooperates so you can pursue your favorite outdoor activity. imagine.
mrigashira means “deer” (mriga) “head” (shira) & this asterism invites us to ask ourselves whether our curiosity serves or doesn’t serve us, whether we are searching, like a deer for yet another tasty morsel, for something that can ultimately satisfy our craving or not. bonus points if you already know the answer!
it’s the seventh lunar day, the seventh phase of the waning moon, which is associated with indra, the protector & sustainer of the heavenly realm. tap into your inner indra today, look around your realm of influence & see if there isn’t one person—friend or stranger—who couldn’t use support of some kind, visible or not.
once upon a time, during my residential teacher training, there was a woman in my cohort who was having a really rough time (not b/c of the training!). one day a few of us were doing laundry, & she left while her clothes were in the dryer, so we decided to fold them while she was gone, scurrying, like mischievous mice, to get ‘er done before she returned, & she couldn’t have been more gobsmacked when she did. we all just played dumb. so. much. fun. could be a good day to do an anonymous act of kindness for another.
the moon, who owns monday, wants us to feel all of our feelings, the full spectrum—not just the ones that feel good, not just the ones we welcome, partly b/c, let’s face it, we really don’t have any control over what we feel, over how we respond emotionally to someone or something, & partly b/c by experiencing the vastness & depth of our feelings, we expand & deepen our ability to be fully human. the harder we can grieve, the harder we can love, & who doesn’t want to love harder? i say, bring. it. all!
& 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.
