it’s sunday, june 21, & moon is in gemini in the starspace called ardra. gemini is where we explore ideas, using our discriminating intelligence to unpack them, figure out whether they align with our values, with our beliefs, or not, figure out whether they ring true for us. the solar eclipse occurred in gemini way early this morning, revealing the unseen realms, our irrational fears about our ideas of how things are or should be. there may be a useful insight buried in the paranoia & negativity, but it’s best to just let it be for now, revisit it tomorrow when we’ve come out of the shadow.
ardra is ruled by rudra, the form of shiva associated with storms—both external & internal. if, like me, you’re feeling into, or are feeling engulfed by, grief, maybe b/c it’s father’s day & you’re missing your dad, remember that, as kahlil gibran wrote, “when you are sorrowful look again in your heart, & you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight.” tears are cleansing—it’s a good day to have a good cry.
it’s the new moon, the first phase of the waxing moon, the first phase of the next lunar cycle, which is a gemini cycle. if you know which house gemini is for you, you will know which area of your life is asking to be deepened with your intellectual curiosity & playfulness. if you don’t know which house gemini is for you, maybe it’s time to get a reading! in any event, you can ask yourself what you want to grow for the next month & put your powers of discrimination to bear on that.
sunday is the sun’s day, & although yesterday was the solstice, & it maxed out its shining, today it got eclipsed. the sun is our presence on a soul & physical level—our sense of who we are internally & externally. so we may be feeling some self-doubt today (especially if you’re a leo like me, b/c we are ruled by the sun). we may not be feeling up to climbing any mountains. no problem—eclipse days are meant for turning inward, stepping away from the world. we are excused from doing today!
& 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.
