it’s wednesday, may 27, & moon is in the starspace called pushya, which occupies a sky-slice of cancer. did you know that before blue oyster cult was blue oyster cult, they were called the soft white underbelly? i mention this b/c (no i was not a fan) i happened to discover that while rereading “just kids” (highly recommend), patti smith’s memoir, & b/c the crab, which is the symbol for cancer, likewise has a soft white underbelly—not to mention a very hard exterior, like oysters. cancer is the place of the vulnerable heart—that carapace doesn’t wrap all the way around like our human ribs do. while it’s awesome to feel emotionally connected to & responsible for everyone, it can be exhausting. if you’re feeling some of that, especially b/c you may have a houseful of beings who need to be soothed & directed these days, close the bathroom door & draw yourself a bath, or grab your mask & head to the hills or your local equivalent for some alone time.
pushya means “nourisher” & resonates with the maternal vibration of cancer, that unconditional love that exudes support & encouragement, that wants everyone to thrive. the feeling here is of the peacefulness that comes from having nothing to fear, from being held in a safe container, the way an infant is held in the safe container of a mother’s arms.
it’s the fifth phase of the waxing moon until midday-ish, then the sixth. so the morning invites us to channel our creative or healing energy, the afternoon to celebrate our victories, which may mean we have to overcome something first, win a battle. in any event, i think it’s always good to celebrate our victories every day, whether teensy or ginormous—to accentuate the positive.
wednesday is owned by mercury, who is hanging out with rahu, the north node right now. rahu likes to throw a wrench in the works, create confusion & intensify. he’s restless & mercury can be as well, so you may find yourself overwhelmed by too many details today or hopping from one project to another. how can you best use that energy? how can you make use of your day despite it?
& 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.
