it’s friday, june 19, & moon is in the sky-slice of taurus called rohini. taurus creates an atmosphere of wanting to enjoy what we have with others & rohini is moon’s favorite place, so let’s hope this combo brings peace & calm, a feeling of unity in celebration, to this auspicious day. in case you didn’t know, although the emancipation proclamation had been signed two & a half years earlier & the american civil war had ended in april, texas, the holdout confederate state, didn’t free its slaves until this day in 1865. although … believe it or not, that was not the end of slavery, which was still effing legal & existed in union border states until the thirteenth amendment passed in december that year. & if you think slavery ended then, you might want to watch 13th, which i couldn’t recommend more.
it’s the fourteenth phase of the waning moon, which means we’ve got a new moon this weekend, not to mention the summer solstice & a solar eclipse on the longest day of the year, maximizing its impact. so the weekend is hugely potent & i will write more about the new moon & eclipse on sunday, but i did want to give you a heads-up so you are not caught off-guard. i know sunday is father’s day & you may be planning some social-distancing socializing, but eclipses are times to go inward, to focus on the spiritual, so do try to set aside at least a little bit of time to do that. & today is a good time to start preparing by making inner space, cleaning your inner house, letting go of whatever doesn’t serve you & won’t going forward.
“and what is it but fragments of your own self you would discard that you may become free?” (kahlil gibran)
friday is ruled by venus, who, with three other planets, is retrograde now, inviting us to do that inner work, clean up our karma in oh-so-many areas of our life. but today you might want to focus on your relationships. got amends to make? people who don’t really support your authentic you? do you need to rethink how you show up for others? these are just prompts, not accusations!
& 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.
