it’s monday, october 9, & moon is in cancer, in the starspace called ashlesha. cancer, where moon has been since saturday morning, vibrates with the frequency of our heart wisdom. it’s the sign that comes after gemini, which is all head, & so provides balance. gemini is left brain, cancer right. it’s not one or the other, but both/&. altho most of us are probs dominant one way or the other, we need logic & discriminating intelligence, & we also need creativity & emotional intelligence (EQ). we don’t want to be robots & we don’t want to be victims of our feels either. still, “your power source is your heart,” says sara landon. “but most of the time you’re in your head wondering why you don’t feel very powerful. go into your heart. that is the source of your power.” power-up today!
ashlesha is ruled by the nagas, the entire kingdom of celestial serpents, who give us the power to inflict our enemies with poison, to slay them, & are also harbingers of wisdom. hmmm … well, we know that we are our own worst enemies, right? that our self-judgments & -criticisms & thus our limiting beliefs are our true enemies, right? the awareness to see the behaviors we are attached to, are boa constrictored around, gives us an opportunity to examine why, ask ourselves what purpose those behaviors serve, & thus become wiser. what person-situation-feeling-behavior is it time to uncling from, what has served its purpose?
it’s the eleventh lunar day, the eleventh phase of the waning moon, which is related to spiritual practices like fasting & meditation. with the solar eclipse on the horizon, it’s not too early to get quiet & start reflecting on what issues have been front & center for the past six months or so & prepare (individual results may vary!) for some juicy “aha” moments, big reveals, healing to come.
monday is ruled by moon, who gives us the capacity to feel & also rules cancer, the feelingest of signs. so it’s a double-good day to double-down on feeling all our feels, whatever they are, even, maybe especially, the unpleasant ones. b/c the more sorrow we feel, the more we can feel its opposite, love, joy, happiness. & while “things can give pleasure to the mind & senses,” says radhanath swami, “only love can give pleasure to the heart.” & we want to feel more love in our hearts, right?
& 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.
