it’s wednesday, may 8, & moon is in the starry sky space of gemini known as ardra. here the mind is daily blisscurious, creative, intellectually fertile. mind wants answers & may feel dissatisfied with the ones that have appeared thus far. mind wants everything to make sense, but, ya know, sometimes it just doesn’t, right? sometimes two opposing ideas are equally true,

right? one definition of yoga is the ability to simultaneously hold mental space for contrary ideas—that’s your challenge today! can you be simultaneously confused & enlightened (or at least content)?

ardra is ruled by rudra, the storm god, who is fierce & destructive. rudra is the form of shiva who destroys ignorance, keeps us moving toward understanding why we are here, what this embodiment is all about, and questioning whether we are actually fulfilling our purpose in life. this is where we may butt up against the maya of expectations—the ones we’ve taken on from society & our family & our own psychology—& feel frustrated about how to move forward. so we need this fierce shiva energy to dig in & make a greater effort.

just make sure you use your inner fierceness wisely—moon is hanging out with mars today & that mars influence could bring frustration, which could lead to your impulsively lashing out, destroying something that actually serves you.

& that’s your daily bliss—mercury is not only the ruler of wednesday but also of gemini, so tap into his discriminating powers to expand your horizons, to see beyond.
