it’s friday, march 11, & moon is in gemini, in the starspace called ardra. in the environment of gemini, we feel social & playful, inclined to journey into new intellectual & creative territory—gather new information, try new things—& share the results of our explorations with others.
ardra brings the stormy energy of rudra, known as “the howler,” whose name is derived from the verb rud, which means “to weep or howl.” rudra is said to be an earlier form of shiva, the great transformer. as we know, there is no transformation without destruction, without the loss of something. as we know, no pain, no gain. if it’s time to let something go, if something wants to be let go of, feel free to get with your inner rudra, scream & shout (into a pillow if necessary), shed some tears, embrace the cathartic process. change is part of life! who wants to stagnate?! be the same person forever & ever & ever?!
it’s the ninth lunar day, the ninth phase of the waxing moon, which is alive with serpent energy. if snakes give you the creeps, remember that in the vedic world, snakes represent wisdom, they represent our ability to slough off toxic beliefs/people/emotions, to look our shadow in the face, learn the lessons of the negativity & move on to the next lesson in earth school.
according to lara j. day, who is not an astrologer, but is an oracle & created an oracle deck called the 13 holy nights, “snake shows us how to pass through life without accumulating unwanted toxic baggage,” to “LET GO of any negativity or toxicity that may have taken up residence inside” us, to shed our skin & completely transform, “emerging as a healed & wholly new individual.”
serpent energy is about being able to experience whatever arises without judgment or story (imagine not creating a story about an event & wrapping yourself around it like a boa constrictor!), being able to look at it with cold reptilian eyes, & thus deprive it of its power.
friday is ruled by venus, planet of our earthly & earthling delights. it’s a good day to get with whatever or whoever feels delightful, to get your earthly-/earthlingness on!
& 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.
