it’s friday, october 6, & moon is in gemini, moving from the starspace called ardra into punarvasu around 10 a.m. mountain time. gemini is ruled by mercury, who makes us curious & communicative (well, some of us more than others), invites us to explore—to explore new ideas, new subject matter, new places—& to tell others all about our discoveries, the stuff we’ve learned, the things we’ve experienced. the word “curious” comes from the latin “cura,” which means “care, concern, trouble.” if you care, if you are concerned, if something troubles you, you will be curious to, um, cure your curiosity, satisfy it. what do you care about? what concerns you? gemini invites you to scratch that itch.
ardra (see yesterday’s post for the deets) can bring inner storms, punarvasu dries our eyes, brings the light back into our life. punarvasu actually means “return” (punar) of the “light” (vasu) & is ruled by aditi, who brings in nourishing, maternal energy, just like a mom who dries your tears. allow yourself to feel nourished, renewed, loved up, full of light today!
it’s the eighth lunar day, the eighth phase of the waning moon, which supports our creative efforts, our efforts to manifest, through the five elements & three gunas. what’s the missing element in your process, what do you need to bring your project home? do you need to light a fire under yourself? do you need to ground? charge your enviro with a candle! get barefoot in the earth!
friday is ruled by venus, planet of our earthly delights, like art, nature, beauty, food & love. venus reminds us that we are relational beings, that we are designed to share what delights us with the ones who delight us.
“life will break you. nobody can protect you from that, & living alone won’t either, for solitude will also break you with its yearning. you have to love. you have to feel. it is the reason you are here on earth. you are here to risk your heart. you are here to be swallowed up. & when it happens that you are broken, or betrayed, or left, or hurt, or death brushes near, let yourself sit by an apple tree & listen to the apples falling all around you in heaps, wasting their sweetness. tell yourself that you tasted as many as you could.”—louise erdrich, “the painted drum”
& 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.
