daily blissit’s wednesday, july 3, & moon is in the starspace called punarvasu, which is mostly in gemini, but dips its toes into cancer. gemini brings focus to our ideas—how we cultivate & hone them, how we express them; cancer says, good job gathering the facts, but what do you know to be true in your heart, how are you embodying those ideas rather than just spouting data?

punarvasu means “the return” (punar) to the “light” (vasu). vasu is where the soul dwells; it’s where we feel at home in our beingness. as the new lunar cycle has begun, we feel a new sense of ourself, a new identity. yes, each day we are born anew, fo’ sure, but with the nourishment of the new moon cycle, its waxing energy, we have the opportunity to really step up & into a newness that keeps growing, keeps expanding, keeps expressing more deeply & subtly, for the next 30 days. gemini is the key: what aspect of your life is calling you to gather information? where does your curiosity lie? & how is that relevant to your soul’s growth now?

punarvasu is associated with aditi, the divine mother, the maternal energy that sustains & nourishes the whole universe, who wants you to know that you are loved unconditionally, who is always there for you. she is the life-giving force & the divine feminine principle. she infuses everything in the universe with creativity & inspiration to grow, to expand, to express, to evolve.

the first phase of the waxing moon transitions into the second this morning. both are, fittingly, connected to creativity—in the first phase we are inspired to manifest & in the second to joyfully share whatever we manifest with others. a potentially fun day!

& that’s your daily bliss—wednesday is ruled by mercury, which aligns with those gemini themes of using our discriminating intelligence to figure stuff out.
