Pedestals Are not for People
Moon is in Libra + it's Jupiter's day: Assess relationship imbalances; do something, b/c wishing won't make it so.
it's thursday, december 26, & moon is in libra, in the starsapce called vishakha. libra is all relationships all the time. & by all, i mean all: business, romantic, platonic, familial, guru/teacher. under the sway of libra, we get to right imbalances, like giving more than we're getting, trusting people who don't deserve our trust, putting people on a pedestal.
in 2022 snatam kaur shared how the earlier revelations about yogi bhajan's sexual abuses caused her to reassess the relationship she'd had with her spiritual teacher since she was a teenager & come to the painful conclusion that she could no longer call him her teacher. but that did not mean throwing out the baby with the bathwater, that she hadn't received gifts & blessings from him, that he hadn't changed her life for the better. the practices of kundalini yoga had "brought joy, peace, & strength to my life," she said, adding that "i also realized that i believed that yogi bhajan was perfect & that i could never match up to that level of perfection & what i thought i should be. this belief left me feeling disempowered & insecure as i aimed for the impossibility of that perfection for many years. i am now forging my own sovereign connection with my spiritual path."
what gifts have your relationships brought you? do your relationships make you feel empowered or disempowered, more you or less you, more sovereign or less?
vishakha combines the force of two deities, indra & agni, uniting in us passion & will power, devotion & motivation, gives us the ability to overcome any negativities preventing us from achieving our goal. you might even say it puts the action in hope (see more below!).
it's the eleventh lunar day (tithi), the eleventh phase of the waning moon, which is considered the best for spiritual practices b/c our mind is the least busy, the least distracted, & thus the most available to connect to the divine, to "the existence," as osho put it, to realizing that "the existence loves you, otherwise you would not be here." so, "relax into your being, know that you are cherished by the whole."
thursday is ruled by wise 'n' hopeful jupiter. hope without action is like prayer without action. just noise. as my high school geometry teacher used to say, "wishing won't make it so."
& 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.

TL;DR
no one deserves to be put on a pedestal. • inspiration + motivation = success. • connect to the existence & know you are loved. • hope without action is just noise.
& that’s your daily bliss! IN-joy! 🌒🙏✨
