it’s thursday, july 8, & moon is in gemini, in the starspace called ardra. gemini vibrates with the energy of curiosity & experimentation, intelligence & communication. with moon here, our consciousness hews toward wanting to play in the realm of new ideas & new interests & share what we discover with others—either by telling them all about it or by inviting them to play with us; for gemini likes fun, likes to keep things light, is sociable.
ardra is associated with droplets of moisture, in the form of rain or, um, tears, both of which are purifying: rain purifies the air & washes away detritus from the earth; tears purify the soul & wash away pain & sorrow. as maharaj-ji (neem karoli baba) once counseled krishna das: “you’re crying b/c of attachment. … the fruit of lust, anger, greed, & attachment is tears. you are reaping that fruit now. this is how wisdom develops.” so tears are how we shed attachment & become wiser. how much wisdom can you harvest today?
it’s the fourteenth lunar day, the fourteenth phase of the waning moon. there are only fifteen phases in both the waxing & waning cycles, so that means this is the last one before the new moon tomorrow. which means we get to ask ourselves, what needs to go in order to create space to manifest something entirely new? what isn’t serving our highest intention(s)? what is out of alignment in our life? could just be the lens we’re looking through & all we need to do is clean it, get rid of the smudges!
thursday is ruled by jupiter, who is that part of us that gathers knowledge from wisdom sources & uses it to create meaning for our life. we often think of teachers/gurus as being the source of wisdom, & they are, fo’ sure, but life is our greatest teacher, can be our greatest teacher, if we have faith in its divine unfolding, if we trust that we have something to learn, if we don’t just let life happen but engage with it.
“life is what happens to you while you’re busy making other plans” — john lennon
& 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.
