it’s tuesday, june 20, & moon is in cancer, in the starspace called punarvasu until about 11 a.m. MDT, then pushya. while gemini vibrates with the frequency of the mental, cancer vibrates with the frequency of the heart. we have moved from the land of thinking into the land of feeling. we have explored, tried new things, investigated; now we get to be with what resonated, what feels aligned, what has dropped down from our head into our heart center, truly landed. while mercury ruling gemini seeks the truth with the intellect, moon ruling cancer knows what’s true by feeling it in the innermost, innermost, innermost part of our being, intuits what’s true.
punarvasu (see yesterday’s post for more) is ruled by aditi, the ur mother; pushya by brihaspati, priest to the gods. both bring a quality of nourishment, but pushya’s is more spiritual in nature, which shouldn’t be surprising given the difference between a mother & a priest. a mother’s love is unconditional, a priest’s (or guru’s, brihaspati being jupiter, who is also known as “guru”) not exactly conditional but definitely more directed toward our soul evolution, not just our immediate happiness & well-being. pushya is said to increase our good karma & positive efforts—if we are aligned with the highest intention, with dharma, pushya will give us a boost, take us even further. how to do that? by connecting with our teachers, with our wisdom sources, perhaps by asking, “what would [fill in the blank with the name of your guru or your personal exemplar] do?”
it’s the third lunar day, the third phase of the waxing moon, which supports us in being flexible, in being able to go with the flow, shift gears, do a 180 if necessary, & keeping anyone who might be affected if we change direction in the loop.
tuesday is infused with the energy of mars, who gives us the courage & willpower to overcome obstacles. mars says, “where there is a will, there is a way.” with mars still in cancer, where he can be oversensitive, easily triggered, & now joined by venus, who isn’t in her happy place either, it’s especially important to beware our impulse to react, or, um overreact, & to harness our willpower to cool our jets, deal with our challenges internally.
& that’s your daily bliss! which is a sort 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.
