it’s friday, september 30, & moon is in scorpio, in the starspace called anuradha. the environment of scorpio is where our dark side—our fears & paranoias, the ugly bits of ourselves we would prefer not to acknowledge or let anyone else see—is revealed. it wakes up the toads in our emotional body, whose croaks drown out all rationality in our mind. scorpio is where the mind plays tricks on the heart. it is where our inner monsters live.
a few years ago, i did a weeklong shadow-work process called the path of love & i discovered, much to my chagrin, that—shock! shock!—there are parts of me that feel monstrous, that i would be embarrassed for anyone else to see. but guess what? i also discovered that i’m hardly alone. & guess what else? being able to stare down the scary monsters & super creeps takes away their power, is actually freeing. as a yogi friend recently pointed out, “the degree to which a person can grow is directly proportional to the amount of truth they can accept about themself without running away.”
scorpio invites the possibility for humongous emotional growth if we can channel the courage to not turn tail, to do our work, make peace with ourselves, accept all of who we are.
anuradha is ruled by mitra, aka the divine friend, & brings a lesson about following (anu) in the footsteps of radha, who was krishna’s most awesome & loyal friend. no, radha was not married to krishna; she was simply devoted to him b/c he was, well, god. are you as devoted to your people as radha was to krishna? how can you be a more devoted, loyal, divine friend? do you see the divine in your people?
it’s the fifth lunar day, the fifth phase of the waxing moon, which is connected to the shakti of the goddess—the creative force of the universe & the energy of healing. it’s a great good day to be creative with your healing, or use your creativity to heal, or just get with your favorite modalities of creativity &/or healing.
friday is owned by venus, who wants us to be in our joy, in the flow of love, in the lila of life like radha & krishna—b/c “survival is insufficient.”
& 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.
