it’s thursday, june 10, & moon, which eclipsed the sun in the wee hours this morning, moves from taurus to gemini midday while traversing the starspace called mrigashira. eclipses come in pairs & this solar eclipse is the counterpoint to the lunar eclipse in scorpio on may 26. interestingly, moon is debilitated in scorpio & exalted in taurus, which is why we felt emotionally unstable in the former & the opposite now, in the latter, & why we have the opportunity now to revisit the fears & paranoias & toxicity that were churned up in scorpio & use the strength of this exalted moon to tune into what’s really true about them, to listen to & trust our heart’s wisdom.
the spectrum of toxicity/negativity runs from unhealthy to, well, poisonous, & ultimately is a reflection of our mental processes. for example, ya know that person who drives you crazy, who seems like such an energy vampire? well, not everyone sees them that way, which means that they are not inherently toxic. which means that if you see that person as toxic, it’s coming from you. so you can either excise that person from your life or ask yourself what you’re doing to facilitate their toxicity, how you are enabling it, perhaps by not holding your own boundaries?
the asterism mrigashira is often called the wandering deer & is associated with soma, the elixir that gave the gods immortality. there is a sense of restlessness here, of looking beyond what is for something better. but all we ever really have is the present moment. as eckhart tolle writes in “the power of now”:
“as soon as you honor the present moment, all unhappiness & struggle dissolve, & life begins to flow with joy & ease. when you act out of present moment awareness, whatever you do becomes imbued with a sense of quality, care, & love—even the most simple action.”
today is a good day to ask yourself whether you are running away from something or toward something, whether the most loving thing you can do is to, say, let someone or something go or open your heart more, be more receptive to a new way of thinking about it, & to ponder how you can grow that seed of insight in the waxing moon cycle.
& 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.
