Jupiter’s Blessing: Embracing Wisdom on Thursday

Written by Jamie Epstein

It’s Thursday, April 25, & Moon has moved from Libra into Scorpio, while being supported & transported by the starspace or Nakshatra called Vishakha. Whereas Libra vibrates with the frequency of our relationships, Scorpio vibrates with the frequency of the emotional fallout from them – of our paranoias & insecurities.

For no sooner do we create intimacy with others, do we allow ourselves to honestly share, vulnerably reveal who we authentically are than we freak out, wonder if we overshared, said something that might have been taken the wrong way, were too real, or, gasp, ruined it all by telling someone we loved them first! Scorpio is where our emotional insecurities feel as insurmountable as Mount Everest. but/& Scorpio is ruled by courageous Mars: we get to remember that walking up mountains makes our legs stronger. Time to gear up & start climbing!

It’s the second lunar day (tithi), the second phase of the waning moon, which brings auspiciousness & victory, gives us the confidence to start something, like laying the foundation to manifest our intention for the waning moon cycle. There’s no time like the present … especially today!

Thursday is ruled by Jupiter, who connects us to wisdom, which is a form of grace.

“When one is illumined with the wisdom by which ignorance is destroyed, then this knowledge lights up all things, just as the sun reveals the world at dawn.” (Bhagavad Gita 5:16)

Is your heart open enough & humble enough to receive the grace of wisdom?

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.
