What Would Radha Do?
Moon is in Scorpio + it's Mars' day: "Courage" is the key word for today—the courage to transform through our fears, to be wholehearted, to act in accordance with our principles.
it's tuesday, may 13, & moon is in scorpio, in the starspace (pie slice of scorpio sky) called anuradha. watery scorpio is where watery moon is debilitated, can't get a foothold, is tossed hither & yon. all that water can make us feel like we're drowning in the sea of our emotions. it's where our emotional vulnerability & the fears it creates live. but/& vulnerability is an opportunity for transformation & scorpio is ruled by mars (more below!), who gives us the courage to face our fears, to unpack them & the fictions we concoct around them. each sign is associated with a caste, or occupation. scorpio, as a water sign, is of the priestly caste: think teachers, counselors, ministers & mystics. under the sway of scorpio, we do our work, transform our fears, & pay it forward by teaching others how to, being guides.
anuradha means "after" (anu) "radha" (radha, krishna's greatest, goodest friend), as in, following in the footsteps of radha, whose superpower was loyalty, whose devotion to krishna knew no bounds. this asterism is ruled by mitra, the divine friend, who brings a lesson about who & what we dedicate our precious faculties of attention to. b/c when we do, like radha, give it wholeheartedly, it can make us vulnerable, perhaps even feel like we're being taken for granted. mitra also invites us to reflect on how, for example, jealousy, trauma, or resentment might be preventing us from treating all our relationships as sacred & smacking down wholeheartedly. what would radha do?
it's the first lunar day (tithi), the first phase of the waning moon, until early afternoon, then the second. the first tithi helps us begin to realize our (full moon) desires & resonates well with mars' day & anuradha, giving us more oomph to act/manifest. the second tithi helps us take our inspiration to the next level & doesn't love anuradha, so expect to make more progress this morning & take advantage of that support.
tuesday, like scorpio, is ruled by mars, whose key words are "strength," "courage," "discipline" & whose mantra is "actions speak louder than words." mars gives us the strength & courage to compete & to protect people & principles, to face down enemies, both external & internal. he gives us the discipline to act in alignment with our principles, to act righteously, to act rather than react. what do your actions telegraph to others?
TL;DR
emotional vulnerability is a vehicle for transformation. • are you using your superpower of devotion? • make hay to realize your desires this morning. • remember that actions speak louder than words.
& that’s your daily bliss! IN-joy! 🌖🙏✨
