it’s tuesday, november 28, & moon is in taurus, in the starspace called mrigashira, which will support & transport moon as it journeys into gemini this afternoon. the environment of taurus is that of our comfort zone, where we take comfort in our embodied existence, enjoy the sensual pleasures of being human. it’s where we want to experience bliss &, eventually but inevitably, realize the limitations of sensual pleasures to do so. like as soon as we finish eating, say, one pumpkin cheesecake brownie (cinnamon snail‘s recipe, which i made for t-day), the so-called bliss is gone, over. true bliss is eternal not temporal, & it’s not as if we can keep eating brownies forever, right?
mrigashira is ruled by soma, which is both another name for the moon & the name of the elixir of immortality quaffed by the gods & which humans have forever been trying to get ahold of & quaff themselves. what is soma but the flow state, true bliss, the experience of being one with all, which is what moon, the moon in us, desires. how do we get there? well, it’s a practice, like anything else. as dr. david frawley has said, “cultivating soma means cultivating the fuel of devotion, receptivity, love & surrender. it means increasing the power to feel, dissolve, merge & become one with all. we must eventually realize that all things are offerings to the divine light of awareness within us. then there will be nothing that is not soma for us.” who’s ready to practice?
it’s the second lunar day (tithi), the second phase of the waning moon, which grounds the intention we set for our moon work yesterday, brings auspiciousness by allowing that spark to grow.
tuesday is ruled by mars, our inner warrior, our fighting spirit, who is, as i mentioned yesterday, hanging out in his home sign of scorpio a little too closely for comfort with the sun. mars can already be a hothead, so the sun’s heat makes him want to explode, act out, act without thinking, thinking not exactly being mars’ strong suit to being with. since mars does love to get physical, & getting outside is grounding, try going for a run or doing some yard work (if you have a yard) or just scrub floors or clean out closets if you feel like you’re boiling over.
& 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.
