it’s sunday, july 19, & moon is in gemini, in the starspace called punarvasu. gemini energy is about pursuing our interests, seeing where our curiosity takes us, & communicating/sharing our excitement about what we discover. our interests are reflections of what we value. like, i’m interested in hiking-biking-skiing b/c i value having a healthy body. or i’m interested in yoga & scripture b/c i value understanding what i am doing here & how i can better align with my purpose. what do your interests reflect about what you value?
punarvasu means the return (punar) of the light (vasu). this asterism suggests that from light we came & from light we return, or, rather, that the light is always shining but we don’t necessarily see it with our eyes. in “big magic,” elizabeth gilbert talks about how inspiration, that spark of light, is always nearby, always trying to get her attention, is “always trying to send me messages in every form it can—through dreams, through portents, through clues, through coincidences, through déjà vu, through kismet, through surprising waves of attraction & reaction, through the chills that run up my arms, through the hair that stands up on the back of my neck, through the pleasure of something new & surprising, through stubborn ideas that keep me awake all night long … whatever works.” (italics hers)
we get messages all the time, the light is always trying to get our attention—we just have to expand our awareness to receive those messages, b/c, as my teacher sharon gannon likes to say, there are no coincidences.
the fourteenth lunar day this morning becomes the fifteenth, this afternoon, which brings the new moon tomorrow. it’s a good day to let go of the last dregs of whatever you can so you have room to start building anew.
sunday is, not surprisingly, the sun’s day. the sun is literally our inner light. if you need help connecting to your inner light, try chanting the gayatri mantra, in which the sun is our divine illumination as expressed through savitur.
& that’s your daily bliss! which is a kind of lunar weather report. the moon is our consciousness & i hope that by unpacking the cosmic forces influencing it every day, you’ll be better able to understand & thus lean into its ever-changing vibrations & use them to your advantage.
jyotish, vedic astrology, is the science of light. if you want to shine more light on your life, please contact me for a session. ~.~
