it’s tuesday, august 23, & moon is in gemini, in the starspace called punarvasu. gemini is infused with the playful, curious, inquisitive energy of mercury & vibrates with the frequency of organic, dynamic, spontaneous, childlike wonder. like, i’ve been traveling the past week & when i arrived in santa fe yesterday & realized i’d landed in a magical oasis (can you believe that garden??!!), i felt like a child who’d been sprinkled with fairy dust & had phase-shifted into an entirely different dimension of existence. we can all choose to perceive the world through the eyes of the children we once were & are still alive within us—how much fun would that be?! our perceptions create our world(s). what kind of world do you want to create? how much fun can you have with that?
punarvasu means “the return of the light” & brings a lesson about the cycle of darkness & light, about how the sun always comes out again, rises every day. the truth is that the sun is always shining. the truth is that light, our light, is infinite. just as the sun’s light is hidden from us when our hemisphere of the earth turns away from it, so our own light is often hidden from us or we keep it hidden from the world. but it doesn’t have to be so.
it’s the eleventh lunar day, the eleventh phase of the waning moon, which supports us in attending to our spiritual practices. it’s a good day to, say, meditate outdoors on a daybed if you happen to have one handy. it’s a good day to fast or eat a little less, so you can feel lighter & brighter, feel more into your light-being-ness, your godly/goddessy nature.
tuesday is ruled by mars, who is our warrior spirit, the part of us that is ready to fight the good fight. the keyword is “good.” a good fight would be one inspired by, say, moral outrage not by vindictive or score-settling anger, being a spiritual warrior—fighting for causes or fighting our own demons. the more we do our own inner work, do combat with our own limiting beliefs, the less likely we are to turn our unconscious anger toward ourselves outward & make other people wrong, make other people the enemy, turn other people into demons.
& that’s your daily bliss! which is a 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. may it inspire you to enlighten up a little more each day.
jyotish, vedic astrology, is the science of light. if you want to shine more light on your life, please contact me for a session. ~.~
