it’s tuesday, may 26, & moon is in the starspace called punarvasu, which straddles gemini & cancer, transforming the energy of the former into the latter. through punarvasu, gemini’s curiosity, which led us to seek out new interests-people-ideas, becomes heart-centered in cancer: what sticks is what feels good to us. that webinar on quantum theology? maybe not so much. but that dive into a home kirtan practice? oh, yesssss!
punarvasu means “returning” (punar) to the “light” (vasu), becoming the light again. it’s a reminder that we are light & that even when we wander away from it, wander away from that knowing, we can always return, come home again, that being of the light is our true nature. this asterism’s symbol is a bow or arrows. in vedic times, some weapons, like rama’s arrows, were called astras & they were magical—when you used them in the pursuit of your dharma they came back to you. the takeaway is that you will return safely from whatever mission you pursue—whether going to the store or doing a century bike ride or writing your thesis. what’s your mission today? how can you best use your quiver of arrows (i.e,, your magical resources)?
it’s the fifth lunar phase, which is connected to healing energy. we are ultimately our own healers—even if we seek outside help, from an acupuncturist or massage therapist or shaman, it is b/c we know what our body or soul or mind needs. today is a good day for healing practices, whether a soak in the tub, some juicy asana time on the mat, or a convo with a good friend. whatever works!
tuesday is owned by mars, who gives us the courage to forge ahead, take action steps, believe in our power to get ‘er done. i always find tuesdays to be very productive days for me, that that blazing mars heat gives me an intensity of focus, keeps my eyes lasered & my mind less distracted than usual, that i am less likely to be undermined by doubt & limiting beliefs. how about you?
& 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.
