it’s thursday, december 31, & moon is in cancer, in the starspace called pushya. after the mental stimulation of gemini, the looking out & about, under the sway of cancer we turn inward, from head to heart, feel into how all that we explored in gemini resonates, whether it should stay or go, whether we want to nourish it & see what grows as a result.
pushya is the part of cancer that is the nourisher, that is pure unconditional love, pure maternal givingness. last night it was time to let my beautiful boy kitty, bhakti (best boy in the world!!!), go. a friend commented about what a “burden” that was for me. i know what he meant was “responsibility,” but i flinched & thought, no, not a burden at all—it’s probably the greatest privilege one can be gifted with to care for another, for another to trust that you will care for them, that you have only their best interest at heart. that you will be grateful to be woken 3x a night to answer their needs as their health fails, that you will lovingly whip up bach flower recipes & swirl all their supplements into goat’s milk & dole the slurry out with an eye dropper all day long b/c they have become too fussy to let you mix them into their food. & that you will know eventually, inevitably when the most nourishing thing you can do for them after 18+ years of sublime companionship is to say goodbye, ease their transition over the rainbow bridge, hope that they will see their beloved sister, mukti (best girl in the world!!!) when they cross.
ॐ त्र्यम्बकं यजामहे
सुगन्धिं पुष्टिवर्धनम् ।
उर्वारुकमिव बन्धनान्
मृत्योर्मुक्षीय मामृतात्॥
it’s the second phase of the waning moon, which is connected to narayana, the form of krishna who sustains life on earth. how can you harness your most loving creative energy to support & nourish yourself & others?
thursday is ruled by jupiter, making it a good day to connect to the teachings & teachers that give your life meaning, that give it a shape, that create a container within which your authentic self can unfold, unfurl toward the light, from the light.
& 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.
jyotish, vedic astrology, is the science of light. if you want to shine more light on your life, please contact me for a session. ~.~
