it’s thursday, september 30, & moon is in cancer, in the starspace called punarvasu until midafternoon, then pushya. cancer vibrates with the frequency of heart connection, like a mother feels for a child, that inexplicable, unconditional primal love. which is such a beautiful thing! in the environment of cancer, we feel called to give without expectation of getting anything in return. which is a beautiful thing! but that can be a challenge with beings who are not our children or our animals. i mean, who doesn’t generally want something from the other, whether companionship or validation or love or … ?
both punarvasu (see yesterday’s post for more) & pushya are connected to maternal energy, but while punarvasu is ruled by aditi, the universal mother, pushya is ruled by brihaspati, who is, according to the bhagavad gita, among the best of priests. just as a mother nourishes with breast milk, so the priest nourishes by connecting us to the divine, facilitates our spiritual growth just as food & human love do our physical & emotional/psychological growth. brihaspati was the guru to the gods, & jupiter is known as the guru, so we have an opportunity today to double down on the deepest principles that hew us toward the divine, toward our divine nature.
the ninth lunar day, the ninth phase of the waning moon, becomes the tenth midmorning. we are supported in releasing any toxic emotional & mental knots so that we can step into our dharma by taking consistent tiny actions in the direction toward who we truly are.
thursday is owned by jupiter, who connects us to the wisdom that guides us on our path. as morpheus says in “the matrix,” there’s a difference between knowing the path & walking the path.” with jupiter retrograde these days, we are being asked to ask ourselves whether we are indeed walking our path, whether what we’ve been calling wisdom truly is, is truly leading us where we mean to go, toward who we really be. which houses jupiter rules in a chart & which houses his transit back into capricorn affects will bring focus to a different aspect of life for each of us, but thursday is always a good day to check in with our wisdom sources & assess how they are or are not serving our highest purpose.
& 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.
