Got Hands? Get Handy!
Moon is in Virgo + it's Mars' day: Focus on life details, heal yourself &/or others, take a chill pill.
it's tuesday, november 26, & moon is in virgo, in the starspace (pie slice of virgo sky) called hasta. virgo vibrates with the frequency of taking care of our life details so that our life doesn't get away from us—so that we don't, say, forget to pay a credit card bill & then get hit with interest & a late-payment fee; so that, say, that loose shingle on the roof doesn't cascade into water damage during the next big storm. virgo wants us to get ahead of potential chaos by staying on top of infractions now. rather than becoming a victim of life derangement syndrome, make a list (virgo loves lists!) of to-dos & checking them off. now.
hasta means "hand" & is associated with the sun. this asterism brings a lesson about our hands being a vehicle for healing & manifestation, the conduit between the heavenly & the earthly. what would you do with your hands if you saw your fingers as rays of the sun, as conduits for divine energy? it's a good day to paint, write, give or get a massage or reiki treatment, or even bring some healing to your home by tidying up.
it's the eleventh lunar day (tithi), the eleventh phase of the waning moon, which supports spiritual activities, well, actually, more like not-activity, like getting still, quiet, turning within. in the krishna lineage, it's a day of fasting, & i just learned in a sublime lecture yesterday from the always sublime jyotish master dr. arjun pai that fasting on this tithi is an awesome remedy for dealing with anger & enemies—it will make you so peaceful that anger won't arise within you & people won't bother to get angry with you. try it & lmk how it goes!
tuesday is ruled by fiery mars, who is better at acting than thinking or feeling, gets frustrated by head & heart stuff. & he's in the all-feeling watery sign of cancer lately. i probs don't have to tell you what happens when fire meets water. if it feels as if your inner fire has had a big bucket of water thrown on it, it's not your imagination! so don't force yourself to do what you can't. & given that the eleventh tithi invites turning inward & hasta is good for healing, you might just wanna sloooooowwwww down.

TL;DR
make a to-list & start checking stuff off. • healing hands are happy hands. • find time for stillness. • slow down if you’re moving faster than you can.
& that’s your daily bliss! IN-joy! 🌒🙏✨
