it’s tuesday, october 26, & moon is in gemini, in the starspace called ardra. under the sway of gemini, we want to take things lightly, which may be challenging today. but we can at least use gemini’s discriminating intelligence to give us some perspective, remind us to gather all the facts before we jump to conclusions, act unintentionally.
ardra, which is ruled by rudra, a primordial form of shiva, brings storm energy & the lesson that we have to go low to go high, the lesson that transformation & renewal come in the wake of a storm, that the more pain we can feel the more love & joy we can feel. as chuck palahniuk wrote in “fight club,” “only after disaster can we be resurrected.”
it’s the sixth lunar day, the sixth phase of the waning moon, which is related to shiva as well, but this time to his son kartikeya, ganesha’s younger bro. kartikeya was a precocious warrior who was charged with leading an army at a very young age & who famously also slew the powerful demon taraka. it’s a good day to celebrate our victories over our own demons, maybe slay another one or two!
tuesday is infused with the spirit of mars, which is our fighting (!) spirit, our warrior spirit, the highest expression of which is our spiritual warrior. with mars in libra, sign of relationships & their harmony, now through early december, it’s important to remember that, to remember that relationship harmony starts with us, that we need to do our self-love work before we can love on or expect love from others. mars in libra wants to rebalance power dynamics, make sure our connections are symbiotic, are founded on equal trust & respect, give & take. mars can want to act first, think later, so it’s a good idea to pause, make sure we’re not acting from a wounded place, that we fight our own inner demons before we engage with the people who matter to us.
with all the shiva & mars energy today (kartikeya is associated with mars), there is HUGE potential for us to do some crazy-ass inner transformation work, conquer our personal demons, so we can uplevel our relationship with ourself & thus with others. are you up for it?
& 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.
