it’s friday, september 11, & moon is in gemini, in the starspace called ardra. it’s hard to write that date & not reflect that it was nineteen years ago today that i walked out of the polling place in my neighborhood in nyc & found out that the world as i knew it had changed. there were similar cosmic alignments then & now, which then brought suicidal terrorists crashing planes into the world trade center & now brought us covid. let’s hope for a better outcome from our current disaster (fires & hurricanes included), that we as a country make better choices about our future, that we don’t let the forces of greed & evil continue to wreak destruction on our world, that we rise like phoenixes from our ashes, shine our light out into the world again.
ardra is associated with rudra, the stormy aspect of already stormy shiva. ardra takes no prisoners, destroys what needs destroying. sometimes that destruction is beyond our ability to grok & we rage against it, cry until we can’t cry anymore, cry until we’ve grieved all we can for what we lost. & then, when we’re empty, when our inner skies are clear, we can see what’s ahead of us, what that destruction made room for.
it’s the ninth phase of the waning moon, so beware the serpent energy today, the possibility for venom to cloud your thoughts/emotions. rather, harness the serpent’s potential to cull wisdom from the shadows, from the recesses of your consciousness, to turn what seems negative into a positive.
friday is ruled by venus, who just wants us to live & love, be in a state of joy & abundance. with venus in very maternal cancer right now, we may be filled with an abundance of love to shower on others, to perhaps be the mothers to others that they never had, & in so doing heal the wounds of our own needs for mothering. i mean, did each of us really get all the mothering we needed? that’s not a judgment or criticism of our mothers—who couldn’t use a little (or a lot) more mothering, maternal love, unconditional swaddling energy?
& 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.
