it’s friday, august 6, & moon is transitioning from thinky gemini into feeling cancer this afternoon while being supported by the starspace called punarvasu. cancer is all love all the time, but love starts with ourselves.
“love is the capacity to take care, to protect, to nourish. if you are not capable of generating that kind of energy toward yourself—if you are not capable of taking care of yourself, of nourishing yourself, of protecting yourself—it is very difficult to take care of another person. to love oneself is the foundation of the love of other people. love is a practice. love is truly a practice.” — thich nhat hanh
punarvasu is ruled by aditi, the universal mother, whose children were the vasus, the luminous gods, light itself;”punar” means “again.” the lesson here is that the light always returns, comes again & again, & that love is the source of that light. love always has our back.
it’s the fourteenth lunar day, the fourteenth phase of the waning moon, which means one more day to release what doesn’t serve us, b/c: new moon alert for the weekend! & that means we get to start over, we get a blank slate on which to create anew during the next lunar month.
friday is ruled by venus, planet of our earthly pleasures & desires, planet of sex & sociability, art & beauty. now, traditional vedic astrology does not use the way outer planets—uranus, neptune & pluto—but a neo-vedic astrologer i follow does & according to her there is an exciting thing going on between uranus & venus that is dialed in to a fare-thee-well today. uranus is the planet of rebellion & innovation, loves to shake things up, create sparks, defy rules, surprise, even shock. uranus seeks thrills & adventure, rejects the ordinary & mundane.
nothing else going on in the sky can explain the crazy-fun fireworks-like synchronicity i’ve been experiencing this week in terms of people & creativity & beauty. how might you be feeling the uranus-venus magic, which can be especially potent in relationships, could bring a thrilling new way of being & relating with a current partner or a new someone thrilling onto your horizon? let me know!
& that’s your daily bliss! which is a kind 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. ~.~
