Curiosity, Cleverness & Communication at Play
Moon is in Gemini + it's Mercury's day: Time to get off our duff & explore new realms, physically or intellectually & to ground ideas we're all fired up about.
it's wednesday, may 28, & moon is in gemini, in the starspace called mrigashira until midday, then ardra. i don't know about you, but i can sit around for only a day or two before i need to bust a move, physically or mentally, before i need-want-desire new stimulation. having indulged in the comfort zone of the familiar in taurus, we are enticed by gemini to explore the unfamiliar, especially as it relates to information & ideas, to education, but if that's not calling maybe a new sport is. ruled by curious-communicative-clever mercury, gemini is ever open to different perspectives, can see all sides of an issue, loves to play with & talk about whatever he's into at the moment. the only thing he's wedded to is expanding & understanding his sense of self & his place in the world—everything & everyone are grist for that.
mrigashira is the star of searching, like a deer ("mriga" = deer) ever in search of the next tasty morsel. this asterism's planetary ruler is mars, the spiritual warrior, who reminds us that what we are ultimately seeking is moksha, spiritual liberation. this is underscored by its deity, soma, the moon god & the elixir of immortality quaffed by the gods. immortality = moksha, same-same. the question for us is whether we are seeking satisfaction from sensual pleasures or spiritual ones. ardra means "moist one." its planetary ruler is rahu, who brings obsession & confusion, while its ruling deity is rudra, who brings transformation, usually after we get unconfused, shed a tear or two, no?
it's the second lunar day (tithi), the second phase of the waxing moon, which has a quality of pride, giving us more confidence in growing whatever we mean to grow/manifest in the waxing lunar cycle. & the second tithi + wednesday + either mrigashira or ardra creates a yoga (combo) for accomplishment. yay! what do you want to accomplish today?
wednesday, like gemini, is ruled by thinky-talky mercury, who is whooshing through taurus after getting lit up with inspiration in fiery aries. what has been firing you up? best to ground that inspo while you can, share it with the world if that's appropriate. & wednesday is always a good day to have necessary convos, send out email campaigns, deal with techno issues, travel. & don't forget to have fun while you're doing it!
TL;DR
follow your desire for the unfamiliar wherever it leads you. • ask yourself whether you are seeking satisfaction in sensual pleasures or spiritual ones—no judgment!—&, oh, yeah, cry if you want to, need to. • feel a boost of confidence & the tailwind of a powerful yoga. • get your word out & have fun.
that’s your daily bliss! IN-joy! 🌒🙏✨
