it’s friday, august 14, & moon is in gemini, in the starspace called mrigishira. gemini creates an environment in which we feel curious & communicative—we want to read everything, pursue new interests, gather information & then talk about it with others, share our experiences, discuss the new ideas we’ve unearthed in an effort to see if they hold water, if they resonate with truth for us. & we do this all with a sense of fun, a sense of humor.
mrigashira is the asterism that bridges taurus & gemini, the wandering deer who metaphorically wanders from taurus into gemini—its hind legs are in taurus, its forelegs in gemini. it embodies the gentleness of taurus & the light-/swiftness of gemini. deers are vegetarian & are always seeking out yet one more tender leaf, one more tender morsel. mrigashira is ruled by the deity soma, the ultimate morsel, the elixir of life, the nectar of immortality, that drop of god-juice that reveals the truth of our existence. if you are a seeker, that’s what you are seeking, you are the wandering deer. we are all always seeking something, right? what are you seeking today?
today is the eleventh phase of the waning moon, which invites us to get with our yogic practices, do some purification, some inner cleansing. if you’re a faster, this is the day. if not, no worries. see if you can find a way to step away from your routine, to create space to connect to your inner wisdom, to cultivate the pause so you can act rather than react. if you have a meditation practice, you know all about that; if you don’t, today is a good day to start one or to restart one.
“as meditation deepens, compulsions, cravings & fits of emotion begin to lose their power to dictate our behavior. we see clearly that choices are possible: we can say yes, or we can say no.” — eknath easwaran
choice is better than not-choice, don’t you think?
venus owns friday & venus is that part of us that totally digs having a human body that sees & feels & hears & tastes & touches—& loves, mostly loves. so that’s what fridays are for!
& that’s your daily bliss! which is a kind of lunar weather report. the moon is our consciousness & i hope that by unpacking the cosmic forces influencing it every day, you’ll be better able to understand & thus lean into its ever-changing vibrations & use them to your advantage.
