It’s Monday, June 3, & Moon is in Aries, in the starspace or Nakshatra called Ashwini until midday, then Bharani. Aries vibrates with the frequency of our individualism, of being absolutely & unabashedly our unique selves, standing in the power of who we are meant to be.
“Our passing through this earth is so absurd & fleeting, that it calms me to know that I have been authentic, that I have managed to be more like myself as much as I could.”—Frida Khalo
Aries is the first sign of the natural zodiac, where we get to begin again. It’s never too late to begin again, to start fresh, to choose today as if there were no yesterday, to be as much yourself as you can.
Ashwini is ruled by the Ashwin Kumara, twin horse gods. The first asterism of the first sign of the zodiac is charged with horsepower, with speed & energy. It brings a lesson about running with our inspiration but also about the necessity to focus our precious life force lest it run amok, scatter in different directions like wild stallions. Bharani is ruled by Yama, the god of death, which sounds scary, but it’s not. death is just an ending of something. This asterism reminds us of the consequences of our actions, that if, say, we don’t focus our energy, harness our horses & get them to work together as a team, we may not get the results we intended, have to take responsibility for the consequences, perhaps make amends, that something may need to end, we may need to change direction.
It’s the twelfth lunar day (tithi), the twelfth phase of the waning moon, until midday, then the thirteenth. so, yes, today may feel like two b/c of the energetic shifts between morning & afternoon. The twelfth tithi is considered to be the most conflict free & supports us in achieving material or spiritual wealth. The thirteenth tithi removes shortcomings, increases auspiciousness. It allows us to be more receptive to & trust our inner knowing so we can see things more clearly.
Monday is ruled by the Moon, our feeling, intuitive nature. Moon gives us the ability to connect through our heart, to trust our inner knowing. What do you know in your heart to be true? How can you create more heart connection 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.
