it’s tuesday, september 8, & moon is in taurus, in the starspace called krittika. taurus is where the moon—our consciousness, our heart-mind, our feeling nature—is most content. this energy invites us to get cozy on the material plane as well, enjoy our embodied existence, eat delicious food, hang out with delicious friends, bask in art & nature & on overstuffed couches in front of roaring fires (hey, snow is coming to boulder today!). taurus reminds us that even though we are spiritual beings, we have bodies & they are fun, they bring us pleasure. bring the pleasure today!
speaking of fire, krittika is ruled by agni, the primordial god of fire. there are many words for fire, for heat, for purification & the power of illumination in sanskrit, b/c that’s what we are here for. for example, tejas is the tip of a flame; it is heat & it is light.
“agni is the blazing fire, while tejas represents the transformation that happens when you go through the heat of practice & become the light of the fire.” — manorama
what can you offer into the fire of purification today so that it might bring illumination to your life, so that you might become the light of the fire today?
the sixth lunar day this morning becomes the seventh this afternoon. in the morning, we can give ourselves a pat on the back, celebrate our victories, whether big or small, b/c each small victory adds up, totally counts. in the afternoon we are reminded that these victories are not really ours, that we are merely the vehicles, that when we are in alignment with our dharma, all that needs to flow, all that needs to happen, happens. when we’re not in alignment with our dharma, we think we have to do something, we let our ego take over, we get all full of ourselves. & you know what they say: pride goeth before the fall.
tuesday is the day to feel into our inner mars & use that energy wisely. at his best, mars likes a good clean fight against our delusions. at his worst, he likes to pick fights just b/c he can. always a good idea to keep an eye out for our worst tendencies.
& 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.
