it’s tuesday, january 26, & moon is in gemini, in the starspace called ardra until early afternoon, then in punarvasu. we get another day to be childlike in our curiosity, to explore & play.

the storm energy of ardra reminds us that we are darkness & light, we are joy & we are pain, we can’t have one without the other, as trevor hall sings in “great storm clouds“:

Up and down it goes like a great wave across my own home
All the questions of the mind trying to find a way to show
That i got darkness i got light i got everything in between
Don’t deny any side
I don’t cut branches off my tree

Great storm clouds holding rain
It’s part of nature to hold a bit of pain
All in all that rain falls and then we watch a new thing grow

Feelings coming feelings leaving that is just the way it goes
How to surrender to the mystery i often never know
Treat it like a weight or treat it like a never ending dance
All the laughter all the tears are just a part of the romance

punarvasu brings the light (vasu) again (punar), reminds us that we contain the light, are the light, that if we trust in the mystery, surrender to the flow of the universe, darkness will always be transformed into light, b/c light is at the root of darkness (& vice versa).

it’s the thirteenth phase of the waxing moon the first half of the day, then the fourteenth. allow what or who delights you to rule your morning, then, as you begin to feel emotionally more & more full as moon moves toward becoming full to bursting overnight wednesday, ponder what you can release to create balance in the next half of the lunar month, which began with a focus on doing. what can you stop trying to make happen so you can be in the feeling of what is? can you trust that, like joy & pain, darkness & light, they are interdependent, are essential to each other?

mars rules tuesday & his placement now brings the potential for great bursts of creative energy but also uber self-centeredness. be aware of how you’re channeling your firepower!

& 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.
