it’s monday, september 19, & moon is in gemini, in the starspace called punarvasu. gemini vibrates with the frequency of intellectual & creative curiosity, of wanting to explore new interests, new subject matter, to gather & share information. that sounds like great fun, right? & it is. but just as one piece of chocolate (ok, maybe two) can be awesome & satisfying, a whole box will give us a stomach ache & too much sugar will lift us up only to crash us down, so too much info can clutter our head so we can’t digest & process & evaluate. so we look to the sign opposite for balance, in this case sagittarius, which gives us a sense of our highest purpose & invites us to ask whether all this stuff we are pursuing serves our highest expression of self or is just distracting us from what truly matters, whether our pursuits inform our continuing life journey, provide wisdom as we walk our path.
punarvasu means “the return of the light” & reminds us that life is cyclical. that’s why we’ve got the triumvirate of brahma, vishnu, shiva—the creator, maintainer, destroyer. life is a creative process; there is no rebirth without death. shiva, the disruptor/destroyer, has been working his magic on me this weekend & i am definitely feeling the magic of rebirth this morning. how about you?
it’s the ninth lunar day, the ninth phase of the waning moon, which is related to serpent energy & can be challenging, b/c serpent energy takes us into darkness & it can be hard to see the light from that vantage point. but the light is contained in the darkness: if we can be with the darkness, fearlessly investigate it, we can transform it into the light of truth.
monday is owned by the moon, who infuses the day with a desire for peace, for feeling at peace in our hearts. no one can give us peace but ourselves, it comes from within, it comes from an ability to be with what is rather than wish it were different. wishing things were other than they are creates suffering. soooo, can you be with what is? that doesn’t mean you have to like it, but that you at least don’t push back against it, resist what is, b/c as we know, what we resist persists—& that just means prolonging our suffering.
& that’s your daily bliss! which is a 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. may it inspire you to enlighten up a little more each day.
