it’s monday, january 13, & moon moves from gemini into cancer midafternoon mountain time while being supported & transported by the starspace called punarvasu, where we have a full moon. & & & sun opposite, shining his light fully on the moon, is moving from sagittarius into capricorn in the evening while being supported & transported by the starspace called uttarashadha. that’s A LOT of transformative luminary activity for one day, so let’s unpack it.
punarvasu means “the return of light,” as in hope, as in positive energy, as in a sense of renewal, of doing over or doing again. it is ruled by aditi, whose name means “boundless,” as in infinite possibility, & is the mother of all godly beings in the universe. like the ether, out of which everything in the universe was & is born, this asterism, connecting thinky gemini & feely cancer, invites us to tap into, to feel into our spaciousness, our own magic dark, the fertile ground where the seeds of what might be germinate & grow.
sun’s move from inspired sag into practical cap is called makar sankranti, which once upon a time coincided with winter solstice, when the sun (from our POV on earth) begins its northward journey & the light & more positive energy return to life in the northern hemisphere, days get longer. uttarashadha is ruled by the vishvadevas, who rule the ten directions, & brings a lesson about realigning with our true direction if we’ve lost our way.
moon is about to meet up with retrograde mars, also in punarvasu, increasing both emotional intensity & courage.
whenever sun, who is our soul(ar) battery, moves house/sign it’s always a good idea to pause, take a “beach day” if possible, wait until he’s unpacked & settled in his new abode, his/our battery has been recharged. the full moon also invites us to pause, be still, & in the stillness find renewed optimism to recommit to, revive intentions & resolutions.
yes, if we’ve fallen off the wagon, we get a redo! pause. be still. what is percolating up out of the ether, out of your magic dark?
happy full, full of potential moon!
p.s. tomorrow is a travel day for me, & i’m going to keep feeling into my infinite spaciousness, so i’ll catch back up with you on wednesday, once i, like the sun, have fully settled & unpacked.
& 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.
