it’s monday, october 25, & moon is in gemini, in the starspace called mrigashira. gemini vibrates with the frequency of intellectual curiosity, flexibility, playfulness & communication. under the sway of gemini, we want to pursue every interest that catches our eye/brain/heart with the naïvety & joy of a child & share what we discover with others; we want to be that kid excitedly running home to tell their mom what great experience/revelation they just had.
mrigashira is the wandering, restless, always-looking-for-the-next-tasty-morsel deer & brings the lesson that, ultimately, what we are searching for is already within us. or, as the sage ramana maharshi said, “what you’re looking for is what is looking.” of course, it takes us a while, & a lot of searching out there, a lot of wrong turns & bitter or otherwise disappointing lessons, a lot of dissatisfaction, to realize that. it’s ok. it’s all part of our human journey.
it’s the fifth lunar day, the fifth phase of the waning moon, which invites nurturing & healing routines. might i suggest what the japanese call shinrin-yoku, or “forest bathing”—aka a walk in the woods, or whatever patch of nature (a city park works!) is convenient? you don’t have to be a nature-lover to benefit from immersing yourself in Mother, taking a timeout from the techno ravages of the world, the daily hustle-bustle, to connect to the essence of planetary existence, of life, of yourself, to remind yourself that you are not separate, that your heart beats to the same tune as the trees, so you can recalibrate.
monday is infused with the spirit of the moon, which is all about connection, the communication between hearts. as the incredibly connected & uplifting zach bush pointed out in his most recent podcast:
“when you lose communication—one cell doesn’t know what the other one is doing—you get isolation, you immediately get entropy, chaos, disease. & so the meta disease of humanity is isolation.”
isolation is anathema to the moon. which divine being (i.e., cell) can you communicate sincerely, lovingly, compassionately with today & so be part of the cure, the antidote, to the dis-ease of separation?
& that’s your daily bliss! which is a kind 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.
