it’s monday, august 14, & moon is in cancer, in the starspace called pushya. cancer vibrates with the frequency of what truly resonates with us, what lands in our heart, what brings us a sense of peace, of being at home in ourselves. cancer is the sign of the divine feminine, the maternal energy that holds us, loves us unconditionally, comforts us, & thus allows us to feel safe, at peace. with venus retrograde in cancer, where it will be conjunct with the new moon overnight tomorrow, we have, many of us, been feeling unsettled in our heart, questioning how & whom we love, who does or does not allow us to feel safe & peaceful. inquiry into matters of the heart is what venus retro & the new moon is all about—let’s keep at it!
pushya means “nourisher/nurturer” & is represented by a cow with full udders nursing her calf, giving of herself. this asterism is ruled by brihaspati, who is the priest, the guru, the one who nourishes with wisdom, divine knowledge. a cow’s dharma is to feed her calf, the guru’s to feed souls. the shakti of this asterism is to increase our good karma & good efforts if we are aligned with dharmic intentions. what do you want to grow & how are you nourishing it? who are you nourishing & who needs your nourishing? how are you being nourished? with all the planetary action in cancer of late, it just might be you, so take some time for yourself today if that’s what’s calling—after all, if cows don’t eat, i.e,. take care of themselves, they can’t produce milk to feed their babes.
it’s the fourteenth lunar day, the penultimate tithi (phase) before the dark moon, the empty moon, the emotionally intense new moon. are you feeling as drained by emotional attachments as the moon is drained of light? that’s normal! & that means you may want to meditate on why, on how you are enabling them—hey, we are all enablers on some level—& let go of what it’s time to let go of. what can you release today?
monday is ruled by the moon, our feeling, intuitive nature. given moon in cancer & new moon there tomorrow, it’s an especially good day to trust what you feel, what your heart knows to be true, allow it to be your guide.
& 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.
