it’s thursday, june 22, & moon is in cancer, in the starspace called ashlesha. in the environment of cancer, we are still in the feeling zone, which can get to be too much & why cancer is symbolized by a crab. a crab has a hard carapace to protect its tender heart, which is located in its back. that’s a reminder to us about our need for boundaries lest we become so consumed by the needs of others, become so empathetic, that we forget to take care of ourselves. yes, it’s awesome to want to take care of, nurture, others, but we get to remember to put our own oxygen mask on first.
fyi: moon moves from cancer into leo late this afternoon, doing the evil knievel leap over the great divide between those two signs without the safety net of a starspace. so do mind that gap, when the mind will feel unsupported.
ashlesha is ruled by the nagas, divine serpents, & brings a lesson about poisons & wisdom & attachment, about, you might say, how what we attach to is poison for our minds & hearts & about how being the witness rather than the clinger allows us to loosen our grip & extract wisdom from the object of our attachment, be it a thought, emotion, situation or person, by asking why it is there, what lesson we are meant to learn from it. snakes are highly sensitive—their entire bodies are in contact with the earth, which allows them to literally feel danger, like an earthquake, days before it happens & be the first ones to get the heck outta dodge. we might feel incredibly sensitive today, probs b/c of clinging to what isn’t serving us. as the buddha said, “the root of suffering is attachment.” what can you let go of today?
it’s the fifth lunar day, the fifth phase of the waxing moon, which is connected to the moon & healing routines, so a perfect day for some self-care, maybe, especially, around 4 or 5 this afternoon mountain time?
thursday is infused with the energy of jupiter, who gives us hope, “that thing with feathers / that perches in the soul, / and sings the tune without the words, / and never stops at all,” as emily dickinson famously put it.
& 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.
