it’s friday, june 5, moon is full in the jyeshtha sky-slice of scorpio . . . a-n-d . . . we have a partial lunar eclipse in the middle of the day, marking the beginning of eclipse season—there’s also a solar eclipse on june 21 & another lunar eclipse on july 4, and then we’ll get some closure. by “closure” i mean that if we use the eclipse season for what it’s meant for, which is to dive into & explore the hidden parts of us & clean our inner house, then we will emerge with a sense of accomplishment & be well situated to move forward. this is not a time to start anything new but to sweep away the emotional cobwebs & dust balls preventing us from doing so later.
i gotta say, full moon in scorpio is no joke & the eclipse is no laughing matter either—i’ve been feeling it all week. scorpio is where all our emotional instability & irrational fears are revealed. elizabeth gilbert has said, “your fear is the most boring thing about you,” but i beg to disagree. fear is only boring if we ignore its wisdom aspect, if we don’t use it as an opportunity for self-revelation, for healing our deep unconscious patterns, if we don’t parse it the way we would a scary-confusing dream. that ginormous spider that was about to pounce on you while you were at tea party? if you google “spider & myth,” you’ll discover that spiders are associated with the art of weaving. for me, spiders are a good omen, b/c i write like a spider weaving a web. see—not so bad when you are willing to inquire!
the scorpio full moon begins the completion of the lunar cycle that began with the taurus new moon two weeks ago. taurus is about stability, scorpio the opposite. so this is a great good time to explore what makes you feel grounded & supported & what doesn’t. who. which people or situations. can you bring your super powers of groundedness to situations in which you feel wobbly & transform them?
jyeshtha is ruled by indra, the god of gods. he supplies the emotional courage & leadership to face our fears & turn them into strengths, to use them as weapons on themselves, to turn our shadows into the light of truth. time to get curious.
venus owns friday & venus is not only retrograde now but also combust (i.e., too close to the sun, so getting fried), so we may need to work our venus muscles a little harder, remind ourselves to appreciate others & tell them how much we do.
& 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.
