it’s friday, january 14, & moon is in taurus, in the starspace called mrigashira, which is the starry bridge connecting taurus to gemini, where moon will be this weekend. taurus is where we feel cozy, but we can apparently endure coziness for only so long. eventually but inevitably we get restless, get curious about what all else is out there, is possible, maybe question what purpose our coziness serves. taurus is earthy, stable, inert; gemini is airy, flexible, in motion. notice the shift in energy when you wake up tomorrow. after your rest in taurus, notice if don’t feel more stimulated—mentally or physically.
mrigashira means head (shira) of the deer (mriga) & is ruled by soma, the god of immortality. soma is the nectar that even all the gods searched for; it represents the ultimate search, the ultimate knowing, of any seeker. this asterism brings the lesson that though we may wander, like a deer looking for another tasty morsel, we are never really lost, that though our paths may seem to zig & zag we are always right where we are meant to be, that we cannot necessarily understand our journey while we are in the middle of it.
it’s the twelfth lunar day, the twelfth phase of the waxing moon (yes, still!), which is related to the sun, who gives us our vision & keeps our physical being energized. the sun is moving house today, from sagittarius to capricorn, & gets distracted when changing signs, what with the packing & unpacking, the getting settled, so the sun part of us may not be feeling totally online—our vision may not seem so clear, our body may feel a tad sluggish—basically, our soul(ar) battery may be feeling less than fully charged. it’s a good day to cut ourselves some slack, lower our expectations, do less rather than more, even take the whole day off if we can.
friday is ruled by venus, who infuses the day with the power of love & the love of beauty & all earthly delights. “i know of one duty, & that is to love,” wrote camus. in order to love, we have to be real, be willing to reveal our true selves, take our masks off. let’s get real & do our duty today, yes?
& 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.
