it’s sunday, april 26, & moon is in the starspace called rohini until about midday, then in the starspace called mrigashira. rohini is fully in taurus, mrigashira is half in taurus, half in gemini. moon won’t be moving into the gemini portion until midnight-ish (depending where you live), which means we’ve got all day to cozy into that taurus atmosphere. taurus is ruled by venus, who is in taurus right now. when a planet is in the sign it rules, it feels especially confident, able to exude its essence with maximum intelligence, just as you probably feel more comfortable in your own home than in a hotel room or sleeping on the pullout sofa at a friend’s house. venus brings the desire to take care of & appreciate others, to create a safe container for ourselves & others, to see & express beauty.
rohini is ruled by brahma, the creator of the universe. brahma was married to saraswati, the goddess of art & music & learning. mrigashira is ruled by soma, the god of immortal nectar & another name for the moon. soma is elusive, but we also never stop searching for it, for that morsel, that nugget, of truth that is going to bring ultimate satisfaction, give life crystal clear meaning. the moon had 27 wives, which is why there are 27 nakshatras, & rohini was said to be his favorite. still, he spent one night with each of his other wives. so you may be feeling called to make music or art (or beautify your vegetable garden, as i am) this morning & restless, unsettled, fickle, looking for something else to satisfy this afternoon.
it’s the fourth lunar day, which is associated with lord ganesh, the one who brings & removes obstacles. if you are feeling thwarted, know that ganesh always has a very good reason for his mischief, & it’s not usually apparent until after we’ve overcome it. try to be patient, try not to resist what is, but see if the obstacle isn’t a doorway to some greater understanding … or reward.
sunday is the sun’s day. the sun is our soul essence & how it is expressed through our physical form. so sunday is always a good day to keep our vehicle in tiptop shape—recharge our soul(ar) battery by getting out for a hike or walk or bike ride or swim & soaking up some vitamin D(aylight).
& that’s your daily bliss! jyotish, vedic astrology, is the science of light. if you want to shine more light on your life, please contact me for a session! ~.~
