Got Cabin Fever?
Moon is in Gemini + it's Jupiter's day: Follow your curiosity ... just for the fun of it; take in the big picture view of yourself & life.
it's thursday, april 3, & moon is in gemini, in the starspace called mrigashira. gemini vibrates with the frequency of mental & physical curiosity. after two & a half days of coziness in taurus, we are experiencing a little bit of cabin fever (as opposed to a fever for cabins, which i have most days!), are itching to get out & explore, challenge ourselves somehow in some way. sign up for a seminar on the anthropology of the midcentury novel? try a harder climbing route? take salsa lessons? gemini is where we expand our sense of identity by trying new things & discovering what we're good at, what resonates, which aren't necessarily the same. just b/c we're good at something doesn't mean we like it enough to keep pursuing it. but/& gemini invites us to explore just b/c, to play, like a child, with no agenda except to have fun & to continue to play until it's not fun anymore.
mrigashira is the wandering deer, who straddles taurus & gemini, wandering from the one into the other in search of soma, the elixir that will quench all thirsts, satisfy all cravings. what does the deer, what do we, thirst for, crave? eternal bliss! even if we don't realize it, that's the crux of all our desires. like the musk deer searching everywhere for the source of the sublime scent of musk & not realizing it is coming from him, so we continually search "out there" for what is "in here": we are the source of soma, but/& it is only by stopping our search & resting in the present moment, where we are free of desire, that we can tap into it.
it's the sixth lunar day (tithi), the sixth phase of the waxing moon, until about 10 a.m. MDT, then the seventh. the sixth supports us in turning our dream into something as real & impenetrable, as impervious to nicks & scratches, as a diamond. the seventh tithi supports us in keeping our mind from, well, wandering in all directions, leading us into brambles & thickets, getting us way lost. altho sometimes getting lost is necessary to teach us humility.
thursday is ruled by jupiter, who infuses the day with hope & abundance, with infinite possibility, who gives us the wisdom to see the big picture, expanding our perception of ourself & the world.
TL;DR
be as playful as a child as you explore new mental or physical realms. • what you are looking for is not “out there” but “in here.” • solidify your dream; wrest control over your wandering mind. • zoom out.
& that’s your daily bliss! IN-joy! 🌓🙏✨
