it’s tuesday, february 23, & moon is in gemini, in the starspace called punarvasu. another day under the sway of gemini means another great opportunity to let your curiosity guide you, to be playful & flexible, to indulge your inner child (which, um, i highly suggest you do every day).

punarvasu can be translated as “the return of the light,” as in, wow, a bright today is dawning after that stormy yesterday (or was i the only one who got drenched?). this asterism invites us to consider the darkness that has transformed or that we can transform into light. it also reminds us that we will return safely, from darkness to light, from whatever mission we undertake.

it’s the twelfth tithi, the twelfth phase of the waxing moon, which is connected to the sun. the sun is our eternal source of vision & power. it shines a light on our path, allowing us to see with clarity where we are going. its heat & light are so bodacious, we have plenty to share with others. as with the oxygen mask on an airplane, we have to put our own on before we can help others. if we don’t shine, we won’t be able to share our light with others. but if we shine, others get to bask in our radiance & shine as well. how are you doing with giving others the permission, the encouragement, to shine by shining as brilliantly as you can?

mars, who owns tuesday, is holding court from taurus through april 13. mars gives us courage to burn up what doesn’t serve, venus-ruled taurus just wants us to be content with what is. so on the one hand, mars could feel a little frustrated—he so does not want to sit on an overstuffed couch, drink tea & read a good book or necessarily snuggle all day with his beloved—on the other hand that could be a good thing when it comes to relationships: whether this transit brings juicy, sensual passion to relationships or the passion of fighting words is, ya know, up to us. you know what to do: pay attention & be intentional! think one step ahead! focus your fire!

& 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.
