it’s thursday, december 28, & moon is in cancer, in the starspace called punarvasu. whereas gemini vibrates with the frequency of mental stimulation, cancer vibrates with the frequency of heart resonance. gemini invites us to play & be curious, to try new things, explore new topics, in order to refine our sense of identity. cancer is where we feel at peace with who we are. gemini is head-motivated, cancer heart-motivated. the sanskrit word for heart, “hrdaya,” ह्रदय (thank you for indulging me—i LOVE sanskrit!), actually means “heart, mind, the essence,” implying that the heart & mind are one, that the true seat of knowing is where our essential essence lives. how can you move (& think!) from your heart center today? cancer is ruled by the moon, our feeling nature—how would it feel to respond to how you feel rather than what you think? how would it feel to live your essence?
& just in case you need a reminder: “peace is your natural state. it is the mind that obstructs the natural state.”—sri ramana maharshi
i’m not saying the mind isn’t useful … for some things … but. …
punarvasu means “the return of the light” or “wealthy again.” it’s the promise of the peace after ardra’s storms. it’s the sun coming out to shine on our world again. this asterism is ruled by aditi, the great mother goddess, whose name means “unbounded” & who brings revitalization & renewal, who reenergizes us with her boundless love. we get to feel nurtured by & nurture others with boundless love today—sweet!
it’s the second lunar day (tithi), the second phase of the waning moon, which is ruled by the goddess bhagamalini, whose name means “garlanded with luck.” while this tithi is also ruled by the sun, who gives us the confidence to manifest the desire that was sparked in our heart yesterday, goddess bhagamalini virtually guarantees victory if we pursue it.
thursday is ruled by hopeful jupiter, who is also the planetary ruler of punarvasu, so it’s a double-good day to feel hopeful. do you? or is it just me?! what gives us hope? wisdom teachings, which is why jupiter’s sanskrit name is guru. guru is the one who dispels our ignorance, brings light, like punarvasu, into our lives, allows us to see our path forward more clearly. if you’re not feeling it, try reading something inspirational, uplifting.
& 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.
