it’s monday, december 28, & moon is in the starspace called mrigashira, which is the starry bridge between taurus, where moon will be until early afternoon, & gemini, where it will be later. taurus invites us to enjoy our creature comforts, the blessings of being spiritual beings incarnated in a physical form—got body? use it! gemini says, ok, but what else? we’ve got a mind too—gotta feed that too. in taurus we’re happy to sit on the couch & read an awesome novel (highly recommend elena ferrante’s latest, “the lying life of adults“) while sipping our fave beverage & snacking on our fave snack; in gemini we want to move, explore, physically & mentally. notice how your energy shifts from the morning to the afternoon today.
mrigashira is the asterism of the deer who wanders in search of delectable morsels, alert & aware lest she miss one, tuned in to the experience of the now as she gently chews each one, savoring every bite. she invites us to pause & smell the roses, or, um, taste that spinach leaf or pea or carrot top, to delight in each savory sensation, in each moment.
“as soon as you honor the present moment, all unhappiness & struggle dissolve, & life begins to flow with joy & ease. when you act out of present-moment awareness, whatever you do becomes imbued with a sense of quality, care, & love—even the simplest action.” — eckhart tolle, “the power of now”
how can you be a little bit more like a deer today, be alert, pause & immerse before moving on?
it’s the fourteenth phase of the waxing moon, which means we’ve got a full moon tomorrow & so we’re feeling pretty close to maxing out emotionally, although with moon in taurus today that could just be maxing out with sweetness, with peacefulness, with contentment.
monday is ruled by the moon, so all things considered it is likely to be a day of feeling into our heart-mind rather than letting our mind-mind hold sway.
& that’s your daily bliss! which is a kind of lunar weather report. it is my hope that the daily bliss can help you align with the day’s cosmic energy & find a little more bliss; that it inspires you to enlighten up a little more each day.
