daily blissit’s sunday, september 29, & moon is in the starspace called chitra, which straddles virgo & libra, bridging & harmonizing those two different energies. chitra is the divine architect, virgo is focused on the details of our material existence & libra is focused on others, on the details of our social life. so the first part of the day, we’ll be erecting the foundation of our quotidian existence, which may look like, say, doing laundry or paying bills, while in the later afternoon, when moon moves into the libra half of this asterism, we’ll be more inclined to erect a container in which to enjoy our quotidian life with those near & dear, to support our relationships, which may look like, say, calling a friend just to say hi or throwing a spontaneous dinner party.

chitra is a very creative nakshatra, as it is ruled by tvashtar, later known as vishvakarma, about which the vishnu purana says: “he is the author of a thousand arts, the carpenter & mechanic of the gods, the fabricator of ornaments, the chief of artists.” chitra can mean “to be painted,” as in a picture or as in the colorful baubles or finery we might wear or create. or as in ourselves. if you’ve been thinking about getting out your sewing machine to fabricate something beautiful for yourself or your home or a loved one, the cosmos will egg you on today. likewise, if you’ve been thinking about getting out your paints & brushes, or making a collage or jewelry or making yourself over or, well, you get the idea. of course the most beautiful thing we can create is doesn’t need creating—it just needs unveiling, it just needs freeing. & that’s the full potential of our soul.

it’s the first phase of the waxing moon, which is also a creative phase, so there’s still time to create/set your intentions for this cycle, which are related to virgo, b/c that’s where the moon was new yesterday. what area of your life needs some virgo attention to detail? which part of your life needs organizing or healing?

sunday is owned by the sun, making this a great good day to feel your physical power, to feel your presence, how you walk through the world. how do you walk through the world? what kind of mark do you make?

& that’s your daily bliss! jyotish, vedic astrology, is the science of light. if you want to shine more light on your life, contact me for a session! ~.~
