Tidying-Up Wizardry
Moon is in Virgo + it's Jupiter's day: Get your inner Marie Kondo on; be grateful for all the everything that helped you evolve thus far.
it's thursday, may 8, & moon is in virgo, in the starspace (pie slice of virgo sky) called uttaraphalguni for a smidge longer, then hasta. virgo vibrates with the frequency of tidying-up wizardry; it's where tidy-up queen marie kondo holds court, where we useful & beautiful our lives, make spreadsheets & to-do lists & check off items, organize like you-know-what, take care of all the boring details (except to virgos!) that keep us & our lives humming along. virgo is ruled by keen-eyed mercury, who is now in aries/ashwini, where he is lit up with inspiration, feels like he's got the flames of a fire licking at him. so we may feel on fire as well, moving as fast as one burning through dry brush, turbocharged to get 'er done. nothing wrong with not overanalyzing & agonizing, with not placing that ugly xmas sweater in the keep, then the give away, then back in the keep pile, with making quick decisions & moving on.
hasta (see yesterday's post for uttara p) is ruled by savitur, the solar deity, & means "hand," whose fingers are like the rays of the sun. this asterism brings a lesson about being vehicles for the divine to work through us—god is in our hands!—not being the doers, which allows us to offer our gifts freely & humbly, with open hands.
it's the twelfth lunar day (tithi), the twelfth phase of the waxing moon, which has the quality of "shri," or wealth/abundance, which comes in many forms. maybe b/c moon is dwelling in virgo, the natural sixth sign of the zodiac, which is associated with health, we might think of our health as wealth & ask ourselves how wealthy (healthy) we feel, how we might feel even wealthier.
thursday is ruled by jupiter, whose sanskrit name is guru, aka the one who dispels darkness, aka ignorance, aka the one who shines a light on our path so we can see more clearly. guru can be a person, but it is also a principle, the principle that every moment of the day, every person who crosses our path, every situation & thought is an opportunity for learning, for evolving. thursday is a good day to remember that the unexamined life is not worth living & to be grateful for those people & moments that have helped us evolve to this point, to remember that everything matters, everything is useful & beautiful in its own way.
TL;DR
feel lit up to make to-do lists & check off items. • share you gifts with open hands, not closed fists. • consider that health is wealth & ask yourself how wealthy you feel. • guru as a principle is a reminder that every person-situation-emotion is a useful & beautiful part of our soul evolution.
& that’s your daily bliss! IN-joy! 🌔🙏✨
