it’s wednesday, march 1 (happy new month! it should be a doozy!), & moon is in gemini, in the starspace called ardra. gemini, like wednesday, is ruled by mercury, who is curious & playful & social, loves ideas & information & sharing them with others, & is good with critical thinking. all that said, mercury is combust for the next two weeks, hanging out very closely with the sun & getting singed by sun’s rays, which can be good & bad, both and. on the upside, the sun’s heat can purify all those mercurial qualities, bringing more clarity & discernment to our thoughts & how we use our words. on the downside, we can feel beleaguered by too much data, too many ideas, especially other people’s. use this transit & moon’s transit through gemini to zoom in, focus, be meticulous about meaning what you say & saying what you mean, but without getting bent out of shape—be lighthearted about it.
ardra is ruled by rudra, the storm-bringing aspect of shiva. storms, like the sun’s rays, are purifying. rudra, as an upholder of dharma, brings storms in order to purify, bring us into right alignment when we are out of kilter. storms & the havoc they can cause don’t always feel good in the moment, but, just as having a good cry does, they do feel good in the aftermath. you know what “they” say, no pain no gain. no rain no flowers (well, that’s what i say). or, as the novelist christopher morley said, “heavy hearts, like heavy clouds in the sky, are best relieved by the letting of a little water.” so, cry (or storm or rage) if you want to, need to, today. let it out—you’ll feel better tomorrow.
it’s the tenth lunar day, the tenth phase of the waxing moon, which supports us in doing our dharma (like rudra), fulfilling our life purpose, successfully doing what we came here to do, doing our life our way. & speaking of christopher morely, here’s what he had to say about that: “there is only one success: to be able to spend your life in your own way.” or, as i like to say, you do you!
wednesday, as mentioned above, is ruled by mercury, who loves information & the nitty-gritty. if you are feeling overwhelmed & can’t think straight, focus on the details.
& 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. may it inspire you to enlighten up a little more each day.
