it’s monday, july 25, & moon is in gemini, in the starspace called mrigashira. gemini is a male, rajasic, air sign ruled by mercury & vibrates with the frequency of those qualities. which means it is action-oriented (male), social (rajasic), information-seeking & communicative (air), playful (mercury). which means that under the sway of this sign we are inclined to investigate new ideas or realms b/c it’s fun & share what we uncover with others. with ruling planet merc in cancer through the end of the week, the emphasis is on investigating new heart territory, asking ourselves what we are feeling & communicating it to those who need or want to know what’s on our heart. it’s not always easy to know, or express, what we feel, so take your time, make notes if need be, before you share to make sure you’re saying what you mean & meaning what you say.
mrigashira is the wandering deer & is ruled by soma, that elusive elixir of immortality imbibed by the gods that humans have been searching for forever. some people think soma was cannabis & was smoked by shiva, which is why you see dreadlocked sadhus in india walking around with cigar-size spliffs; others think it was amanita muscaria, a psychoactive ‘shroom. who knows? the lesson of this asterism is that we can seek it here, we can seek it there, but, to paraphrase ramana maharshi, what we are seeking is what is seeking; i.e, it’s not out there but in here.
it’s the thirteenth lunar day, the thirteenth phase of the waning moon, which is related to kamadeva, the hindu cupid, so it’s a great good day to pursue joy with others, to be in the flow of what delights you, what lights you up, to deepen your love muscle, your connection with others, which starts with deepening the connection with yourself, deepening your love for yourself, b/c we can only love others & connect with others to the extent that we can love ourselves, are connected to ourselves.
monday is infused with the energy of the moon, our emotional intelligence, our feeling nature, our intuition. you know the expression “i just knew in my heart it was true”? that’s moon wisdom, heart wisdom. sooooo, what do you know in your heart, rather than your head, to be true?
& 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.
