it’s sunday, september 13, & moon is in cancer, in the starspace called punarvasu. cancer exudes a sense of maternal, unconditional, love. a mother’s love, so i am told, can be so vast that the abundance & complexity of it are hard to express. do you ever feel that your cup of love runneth over? can you ever really love too much? if it seems too much to bestow on one person, share it, spread it around, there are plenty of people who would be grateful for it!
the nakshatra punarvasu is ruled by aditya, the earth mother, who dries our tears & soothes us after the emotional storms of ardra. i sometimes find it comforting to remember that “grief is love that doesn’t have anyplace to land,” according, i believe, to sharon salzberg, but she may have been quoting someone else. we’re sad, we grieve, b/c we love, b/c we are capable of incredible quantities of love. which isn’t really a bad thing at all, although it does. just. hurt. sigh.
it’s the eleventh phase of the waning moon. the eleventh lunar day is connected to yogic practices, especially but not exclusively meditation. why do we meditate? some people meditate to soothe anxiety, for a respite of peace. but what is the ultimate anxiety-dispeller, the ultimate source of peace? god, connecting to god within, to source.
“to seek god is to find god.” — augustine
seek & ye shall find!
sunday is the sun’s day. the sun always shines, always exudes its light. its light helps us to clarify, to articulate, to understand what we know. how will that awareness serve you today? how will it bring you closer to your truth? it’s a good day to get out in the sun, absorb those rays, look at the sun (not directly! not for too long!) & realize that what’s out there is also within & connect to your inner sun, your inner source of clarity & vision.
& 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.
