It’s Monday, October 28, & Moon moves from Leo into Virgo midmorning while being supported & transported by the starspace or Nakshatra called Uttaraphalguni. While Leo vibrates with the frequency of our kingly-/queenly-/quingly-ness, our sitting-on-the-throne-ness, Virgo vibrates with the frequency of climbing down from that throne & keeping it immaculate, keeping the throne room vacuumed & dusted & polished to a fare-the-well. Leo is where we feel powerfully well, Virgo where we get to make sure we stay that way, b/c if we’re not well we can’t rule well.
As human-potential goddess teal swan has pointed out, if we don’t make time for our wellness, we’ll be forced to make time for our illness—oh, no!
Virgo time is time to tidy up & uplevel the foundations of our life—our finances, our health, our home, our spiritual practices. Virgo invites us to clean out the garage, make doctors’ appointments, balance the checkbook, recommit to going to the gym &/or asana practice. You get the idea.
Uttaraphalguni is the star of contracts, specifically but not necessarily, marriage contracts, contracts that are good for both/all parties & that result in more goodness for both/all as a result. This asterism brings a message about the agreements we make with others, the contracts, literal or figurative, that we sign, & the intention behind them: if our intention is not for what serves everyone’s best interest, if the contract is not mutually beneficial, we should keep negotiating until it is … or not sign & move on.
It’s the twelfth lunar day (tithi), the twelfth phase of the waning Moon, which is said to be the most pleasant & conflict-free lunar day. I don’t know about you, but I can certainly use a conflict-break! It supports us in achieving wealth in various forms—material, spiritual, physical, wealth of wisdom. what makes you feel as rich as a king? With moon in Virgo, we might take mahatma Gandhi’s words to heart: “it is health that is real wealth & not pieces of gold & silver.”
Monday is ruled by the Moon, who is the part of us (as above, so below!) that desires peace & happiness for one & all, that experiences how much more we are alike than different. Moon is the true unity party!
Bonus track: the twelfth tithi + Monday creates a one-two punch that yields nectar, so let’s do sip on that today!
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.
