Keep Going Come What May
It’s Friday, October 5, & Moon is in Libra, in the starspace or Nakshatra called Swati. Libra vibrates with the frequency of our relationships, all of them, in all of their infinite varieties, shapes & sizes—romantic, familial, business, platonic, casual & serious, fleeting & forever. All relationships other than parent-child are conditional/transactional, are based on giving & receiving, & Libra wants us to make sure that we’re not giving more than we’re getting or giving up/abandoning ourselves to get, b/c the only way we can truly be in relationship is to show up as authentically AF.
“My mission, should I choose to accept it, is to find peace with exactly who & what I am. To take pride in my thoughts, my appearance, my talents & my flaws & to stop this incessant worrying that I can’t be loved as I am.”—Anaïs Nin
Swati is connected to the wind & invites us to focus our prana (our inner winds), our precious life force, so we can get ‘er done. We can also use wind power today to spread our message—send important emails, push “send” or “publish” on that newsletter that’s been marinating.
It’s the second lunar day (tithi), the second phase of the waxing moon, which supports nurturing the flame of our inspiration, adding a bit more fuel or oxygen to turn it into a fire that sustains, doing one more thing, even if we’re not totally sure of our ultimate goal.
I must continue to follow the path I take now. If I do nothing, if I study nothing, if I cease searching, then woe is me, I am lost. That is how I look at it—keep going, keep going come what may.
“But what is your final goal, you may ask. that goal will become clearer, will emerge slowly but surely, much as the rough draught turns into a sketch, & the sketch into a painting through the serious work done on it, through the elaboration of the original vague idea & through the consolidation of the first fleeting & passing thought.”—Vincent Van Gogh
Friday is infused with the energy of Venus, planet of earthly delights—food, sex, art, nature, relationships. Friday is always a good day to do what brings us pleasure with (or without!) the ones who do. And Venus also rules libra, so it’s a double-good day to double-down on the Venus principle.
And that’s your daily bliss! Which is a sort 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.
