it’s monday, june 22, moon is in virgo, in the starspace called hastā, it’s the ninth phase of the waxing moon & moon’s day.
where your attention is being drawn
virgo vibrates with the frequency of getting “it” right, as in everything, & everything is a moving target—there’s always more to do, the bar keeps getting raised higher, or lower if you’re playing limbo, isn’t it?
how high can you jump? how bendy can you be?
we want to get it all right b/c we think then we’ll be safe—from disease & debt & enemies & other obstacles. but the effort can be a sort of disease in itself—we can put so much energy into perfecting our lives that we lose the authenticity of them, & of ourselves, in the process.
which is why my teacher, sharon gannon, always says, “do your best & let god do the rest.”
& which is why i say there’s nothing wrong with a little mess!
if you’ve been bit with the perfectionista bug, i recommend reflecting on my friend casey o’connell’s beautiful reflection on the shadow side of perfectionism.
how to direct your mental/emotional energy
hastā means “hands” & gives us the power to shape things, including our world, gives us the skills to organize & problem-solve, to manifest. it’s where virgo’s ruling planet, mercury, is exalted, heightening intelligence.
mercury thinks/solves problems with the mind, moon with the heart.
can you find a balance between heart & mind?
hastā is light & fast-moving—it initiates, is good for activities that require physical or mental agility, brings clarity & efficiency.
what supports your emotional body
the ninth lunar day (tithi), the ninth phase of the waxing moon, which is like getting past the halfway point in a marathon, or in a century ride (omg, i remember those days!)—the end is in sight, moon is brighter than not.
this tithi is ruled by goddess kulasundari, aka “the most beautiful in her abode,” as in home, where she dwells. this tithi is one of those (along with the fourth & fourteenth) during which you may feel unsupported emotionally, so take the opportunity to turn inward, to perhaps beautiful your home or just spend time enjoying your beautiful home.
especially b/c in combo with moon’s day the water element may swell & overflow the river banks, we may feel super emotional.
how to align with the weekday’s energy
monday is ruled by moon, planet of intuition, which is associated with the right side of the brain. the right hemisphere of the brain is connected to the left nostril & the left hemisphere to the right nostril.
the swara, or flow of prana, changes from nostril to nostril all day long—some sources say every half-hour, others forty minutes or hour. in any event, it changes, moves, doesn’t stagnate.
if you’re not in your right mind (!), are feeling intuition-stymied, notice which nostril feels more open, where air flows more freely. if it’s the right one, just wait until it switches to the left & see if the green light of intuition doesn’t switch back on.
🌓🙏✨
the daily bliss is 100% human generated! the act of creation is intrinsic to being human—when we give up our agency to create, we cease, little by little, to be fully human.
may it allow you to align with the day’s cosmic energy so you can find & create a little (or a lot!) more bliss in your life.
