daily blissit’s tuesday, september 3, & moon is in the starspace of libra called swati. so we’re still under the sway of the spirit of “can’t we all just get along?!” maybe without the exclamation mark, though, b/c libra doesn’t want to beat you over the head; libra wants to make it easy, wants to invite harmony not drill it into you. &, yeah, trying to drill harmony into someone is oxymoronic.

i was just reading about a partner exercise: one person made a fist & the other person had to figure out how to get the fist opened. people tried to pry & bite to loosen fingers, but the most (perhaps only) successful outcome was when one person simply stroked the other’s forearm & gradually moved on to each finger. the other person eventually surrendered, his fingers opening like a flower in time-lapse photography. do try this at home! do see how gentleness rather than hardness works in your relationships!

swati is ruled by vayu, the god of wind. vayu refers to our inner wind, our prana, our vital life force, which keeps us functioning properly. prana is also our link to what is eternal. when there’s an imbalance of prana, we usually get sick; when the imbalance is really bad or prolonged, we get really sick. dis-ease = not being at ease, & what does not being at ease mean but not feeling ourselves, feeling disconnected from source, unplugged from what is eternal. one of the best ways to keep prana in balance is to eat whole foods (not necessarily from whole foods, just not packaged!) & get eight hours of shut-eye every night. again, do try this at home!

the fifth lunar day (see yesterday’s post) becomes the sixth around noon mountain time, so it’s a good day to celebrate your victories, no matter how small they seem, b/c each victory is one step forward & we need to constantly remind ourselves (or is it only me?!) that we are making progress.

tuesday is ruled by mars, who gives us the discipline to gain self-mastery. i’m going to thank mars in advance for giving me the discipline to plow through a list of annoying to-dos today, give me some mastery over my time!

& 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! ~.~
