it’s monday, april 24, & moon is in gemini, in the starspace called mrigashira. if taurus feels like a cozy extra-long morning in bed, gemini feels like throwing off the covers & jumping outta that bed. while taurus, where moon was over the weekend, vibrates with the frequency of enjoying what is, gemini vibrates with the frequency of wondering what else is out there. ruling planet mercury infuses this sign with curiosity & playfulness. where does your curiosity want to lead you today? how much fun is that?
mrigashira is ruled by soma, which is another name for the moon. soma is also the immortal nectar churned up by the gods from the milk ocean. it was so hard to obtain that the gods required the help of the demons, who then tried to steal it for themselves, b/c who wouldn’t want to be immortal?! (discuss among yourselves!) soma is hard-earned but brings the bliss of immortality, which is really the knowing that we are essentially immortal, that our true (capital “s”) self was never born & thus will never die. the bliss, the soma/amrita, is, thus, not something we have to search for out there but is contained within, although it does take effort to peel back & peel back & peel back the layers obscuring it, obscuring our knowing, which is what yoga practices are designed to do.
it’s the fifth lunar day, the fifth phase of the waxing moon, which is ruled by the moon & likewise brings the quality of healing, rejuvenation & transformation afforded by soma. i don’t know about you, but after a gorgeously intense week of creating & being in a container of transformation last week, not to mention the eclipse & major planetary activity (see this post for more), i can def use a day of healing, of slowly allowing myself to reintegrate, starting with a morning bath & some juicy yoga.
monday is ruled by the moon, who gives us the power of inner-knowing, of intuition. intuition is the pathway to spirit, allows us to go beyond mind, & like any muscle, the more we use it, the stronger it gets. how can you work, & thus strengthen, your inner-knowing today?
& 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.
