it’s thursday, september 10, & moon is in the starspace called mrigashira, which occupies the starspace that straddles the signs of taurus & gemini. moon will be in the comfort zone of taurus until early afternoon & then, after that respite of grounding for the past two & a half days, will be ready to set out for new territory, to get curious about new ideas, dance & play, be, well, mercurial—mercury is, after all the planet that rules gemini.
mrigashira is the wandering deer looking for that elusive morsel that will bring eternal satisfaction, that will vanquish the desire to keep seeking, that will answer all questions, soothe the soul. what is it that elusive morsel we are looking for? saint francis of assisi knew the answer. he said, “what we are looking for is what is looking.” translation: it’s not out there, it’s in here; like dorothy we don’t have to look farther than our own backyards, or inside yards.
it’s still the eighth phase of the waning moon for most of the day, which supports our creative endeavors, gives us the tools, the ingredients—the three gunas & five elements—with which to build anything & everything. how we put them together & what they thus yield is up to us, just as one recipe may yield a carrot cake & another a thai noodle salad based on the ingredients. you get to play master chef today!
thursday is jupiter’s day. jupiter is the guru, the one who keeps us on our path, keeps us connected to our sense of purpose by helping us define what we believe in. jupiter has been going retrograde for a while & on saturday he will stop his backward motion in preparation to move forward again. so for the next few weeks we may be feeling stuck in our beliefs, fixated. does everything not already feel binary, does everyone not feel dug in, separated into maskers & anti-maskers, BLM’ers & fascists, conspiracy theorists & fact-based realists? how much worse can it get? we’ll find out!
& that’s your daily bliss! which is a kind of lunar weather report. the moon is our consciousness & i hope that by unpacking the cosmic forces influencing it every day, you’ll be better able to understand & thus lean into its ever-changing vibrations & use them to your advantage.
