it’s tuesday, september 28, & moon is in gemini, in the starspace called ardra. gemini vibrates with the frequency of intellectual curiosity & stimulation, the fun kind that lets you go down rabbit holes just to see where they go. gemini wants to know what it doesn’t know. in the environment of gemini we’re not interested in confirmation bias, in having our opinions validated or reinforced, but in gathering more information to develop them, bring more nuance to them, test them, develop new ones. if they turn out to stand on solid ground, great. if not, no problem. gemini is flexible. gemini gives us the discriminating intelligence to look at & assess data, not manipulate it, bend it to our preconceived notion of how we want things to be. gemini wants to discover.
ardra, being ruled by rudra, a volatile form of shiva, can bring, well, volatility, in the form of storms, whether metaphorical or real live hurricanes-earthquakes-fires. let’s remember that storms are a means to purge & purify, to cleanse our inner or the outer world. let’s remember how good it actually feels to cry, shed some (or a lot of) tears, to release, maybe not in the moment, but soon after. how healing it ultimately feels.
it’s the eighth lunar day, the eighth phase of the waning moon, which is related to the five elements (earth, water, air, fire, ether) & three gunas (tamas, rajas, sattva), through which everything in the material world is manifested. we have an opportunity to look at what we’ve created or want to create & figure out if it’s perfect as is or, say, needs more or less fire or tamas.
tuesday is ruled by mars, who is combust now & will be so for quite a while. when a planet is combust it means it’s very close to the sun & thus feeling its rays, which are purifying. but purification, doing tapas, as anyone who has done a fast or sweat lodge or ayahuasca knows, ain’t an easy process, ain’t comfortable, that toxins rise to the mental or emotional or physical surface. when mars undergoes tapas, frustration can arise. where in your life might you be feeling frustrated & what is that revealing about you? what is it asking you to look at in yourself?
& that’s your daily bliss! which is a kind 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.
