it’s monday, april 27, & moon is in the starspace called mrigashira until midday, then moves into ardra, both of which occupy sky-slices of gemini. gemini is an air sign ruled by mercurial mercury, who brings us our curiosity, our engagement with ideas, & who gives us the ability to share our interests through our powers of communication—verbal speech & technology. we will have especial access to this gemini energy for the next two & a half days, so have fun with it—gemini doesn’t like to take things toooooo seriously.
mrigashira is the wandering deer (“mriga” = deer; “shira” = head), always in search of another tasty morsel. the first half of mrigashira is in earthy taurus (that was so yesterday!), where that seeking is focused on the material, but in airy gemini that seeking becomes more abstract—ultimately we’re looking for truth, the truth of our existence. ardra is ruled by rudra, a fierce form of already fierce shiva, the god of transformation. as rudra he brings transformation through storm energy: think hurricanes & tornadoes & earthquakes; think world-upheavaling events like assassinations & pandemics. the aids virus & J.F.K.’s assassination & now the coronavirus occurred when rahu, the north node, another unsettling, destructive force, was in this asterism. make sure you use this destructive energy wisely—don’t nuke anything or anyone you don’t mean to!
it’s the fifth day of the waxing cycle of the moon, which is connected to the moon itself, making it a good day for healing routines & taking medicine: your healing routine may involve yoga asana or tai chi or taking a walk in nature; your medicine may involve eating kimchi & drinking fire cider, as mine does. if you don’t know what fire cider is, have no fear: i’m about to finish a blog post with a recipe & will share it soon. (or you can just consult dr. google.) however you find healing, today is the day to get with it.
monday is the moon’s day. moon is our emotional brain. it is how we know & connect through feeling rather than thinking. moon is our field of intuition. see if you can get curious about the depth of your essential nature, which is love, rather than getting pulled off center by the emotion of the moment. see if you can trust your intuition to tell you what is real & what isn’t.
& 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! ~.~
