it’s wednesday, january 27, & moon is in cancer, in the starspace called punarvasu until early afternoon, then in pushya. cancer is ruled by the moon, the planet of sensitivity, our feeling nature, & the body part associated with cancer is, perhaps not surprisingly, the chest, which protects our physical heart. protect does not mean armor, tho, but rather contain, as in creating a container so that we can feel deeply, give our love unconditionally, like a mother gives to a child. this is not transactional love, the “good for you good for me love” between friends or lovers; this is one-way love. it’s important to know the difference, so we don’t accidentally overgive, which can never happen between parent & child,
see yesterday’s post for punarvasu b/c full moon tomorrow is in pushya & there is a whole lot going on! pushya invites us to tap into our nourishing energy, invites us to question what, exactly, we are nourishing, feeding, swaddling with our love, & whether we are doing so with utmost devotion, without expecting anything in return.
it’s the fourteenth phase of the waxing moon until about noon (see yesterday’s post for more), then the fifteenth, which is the last waxing phase, the climax of which is the full moon. the full moon in cancer will be opposite capricorn, where saturn, sun & jupiter are (& venus will be later today). so not only is the moon reflecting on the sign of capricorn, but all those planets—& all those planets are gazing at the moon. so there is a lot to reflect on & a lot of energy influencing our mental-emotional body. i’ll talk more about that tomorrow, but for now we can start pondering how our need to be safe (capricorn) prevents us from feeling as deeply as we can or want to (cancer) & how we can foster more love & less fear in the second half of this lunar month.
wednesday is mercury’s day, & he has dipped into aquarius for a new york minute, giving us a chance to share ideas about our vision for society, for the world, so, as dan savage says, if you’re not seeing the world you want to see, make some noise!
& 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.
