it’s thursday, march 30, & moon is in cancer, in the starspace called punarvasu until midday, then pushya. after following our curiosity where it led us in gemini, pursuing new interests, we get to see what really resonated, what’s going to stick, what our heart, not our head, wants. for, while gemini vibrates with the frequency of mental energy, cancer vibrates with the frequency of heart energy—we drop out of what we think & into what we feel, from our intellect into our emotions. under the sway of cancer we feel into, well, our feeling nature, into our intuition. you know the expression “i just knew it in my heart”? that’s cancer. that’s where we are. the sanskrit word hridaya (ह्रदय) means heart-mind & pretty much says it all: our heart is the true seat of our mind, of our absolute knowing.
both punarvasu (see yesterday’s post for more) & pushya are asterisms of nourishment. punarvasu is ruled by aditi, the universal mother, who nourishes with love; pushya is ruled by brihaspati, the sage who counseled the gods, who nourishes with wisdom. pushya gives us the power to uplevel ourselves spiritually, to make sure we are in right alignment with our dharma. it’s an especially good day to meditate, chant, pray, do asana &/or pranayama, to get with your sadhana in whatever shape or form it takes, so you can facilitate the conditions in which wisdom can arise & so be nourished, enhanced, expanded by it on a soul level.
it’s still the ninth lunar day, the ninth phase of the waxing moon, which is related to serpents. in vedic mythology serpents are embodiments of both toxins & wisdom. if we can be powerfully present & unattached to what/who we are clinging to that is toxic (i.e., what is downleveling/limiting rather than upleveling/expanding us) in our lives (thoughts, emotions, people?), ask ourselves why it’s there, what lesson it is trying to teach us, we can transform it into insights, into wisdom.
thursday is infused with the energy of jupiter, who gives us beliefs. are your beliefs prisms or prisons? do they enhance your worldview, expand your spectrum of awareness, make it more colorful, refract more light? or do they narrow, limit, contract, darken your perspective of how the world is & how you be in the world?
& 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.
jyotish, vedic astrology, is the science of light. if you want to shine more light on your life, please contact me for a session. ~.~
