it’s friday, february 11, & moon is in gemini, in the starspace called mrigashira. mercury, planet of discriminating intelligence, rules gemini, which vibrates with the frequency of wanting to know. in the environment of gemini, we don’t outsource fact-gathering, we do our own due diligence. yes, it is more labor intensive than just, say, swallowing headlines whole, just taking one person’s word for it, but it allows us to own our truth, be fully in the integrity of it, to separate out the lies, what doesn’t resonate, to define our reality.
mrigashira is ruled by the deity soma, the elixir of immortality, the favorite cocktail of the gods, which mortals have been seeking for as long as there have been mortals. alas, the secret is that soma is not “out there,” that the search is not an outside job but an inside job, that there is really nothing to search for, &, if we could just cultivate some stillness by, say, meditating, we might realize that.
“why wander all over the world looking for something you already have? you are already the richest person on earth.”—thich nhat hanh
it’s the eleventh lunar day, the eleventh phase of the waxing moon, which supports us in our spiritual practices, like meditation, a practice available to everyone.
“when you’re looking at a thought in meditation, something is underlying that & that thing is said to be ‘you’ at the core, & unless you have some contact with that, it will remain dormant, unexplored, unrealized.”—manorama
if we don’t know who we are at our core, we can’t show up in our absolute, magnificent authenticity. who’s up for getting real about their true core work?
friday is ruled by venus, planet of love. venusian love is reciprocal, it involves partnership, both people participating. venusian love is not fulfilled without both parties giving & receiving. warning: with venus & mars hanging out closer than close for the next month, we may feel more push-pull than give-receive in our partnerships. that doesn’t mean that’s what’s going on, just that that’s what we might be feeling, cause, ya know, there’s a thing called projection, a thing called wounded beliefs! best not to jump to hasty conclusions & blow things up. best to just watch what might be unfolding, breathe deeply & think with your heart before you act.
& 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.
