it’s tuesday, june 28, & moon is in gemini, in the starspace called ardra, where it will be new tonight. mercury-ruled gemini vibrates with the frequency of curiosity & innocent playfulness, with the intellectual ability & agility of our minds to investigate & discern, gather information & sift what’s true from what’s not, see through & beyond our stories. gemini invites us to be in a state of wonder, judgment-free, like objective experiencers.
ardra is ruled by the deity rudra, a fierce, primordial form of shiva whose mission is to destroy ignorance so we can transform, evolve. rudra brings storm energy. our minds can create storms, swirling energy that is hard to see through. we have to walk through our inner storms, the stories we have fabricated, our pain or frustration or anger or grief, to perceive what’s real, the true true. as we know, there is no gain—no healing, no transformation—without pain. we also know that the sun always comes out after it rains.
“& once the storm is over, you won’t remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive. you won’t even be sure, whether the storm is really over.
“but one thing is certain. when you come out of the storm, you won’t be the same person who walked in. that’s what this storm is all about.”—haruki murakami
the name rudra means “the howler.” rudra was born from brahma’s frustration when no one would help him populate the earth. this asterism brings a lesson about what we must overcome so we can create & attain our highest objectives.
tuesday is ruled by mars, our inner warrior, who gives us the courage to do what’s hard, be with what is, feel what we feel, process it, let it go & then take the next right step.
how much pain are you willing to endure, what are you willing to blow up, destroy, in order to get to the truth, be the truth of who you are? &, yes, you get to shout & wail, scream & cry, punch a pillow, dance it out like you’re possessed if that’s your jam—that’s part of the process, part of your purification!
yes, our moon work starts with some intense releasing so we can get clear on what we want to build in the waxing cycle, which brings auspiciousness with jupiter, saturn, venus, mars & mercury in their signs of strength.
& that’s your daily bliss! which is a kind 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. may it inspire you to enlighten up a little more each day.
