Pickleball, Anyone?

Moon is in Gemini + it's Moon's day: What is piquing your curiosity? What are you itching to know, explore, try? Separateness keeps us from being our most compassionate selves.

it’s monday, june 15, moon is in gemini, in the starspace (pie slice of gemini sky) called ārdrā when you read this, it’s the first phase of the waxing moon & moon’s day.

focus of attention

gemini, the third sign/house of the natural zodiac (the one that begins with aries & ends with pisces), vibrates with the frequency of our curiosity, of itching to explore new realms, whether they’re intellectual, like a new course of study, or physical, like a new sport (i still haven’t tried pickleball, have you?).

the third house is associated with our ego, our sense of self, of who we are, & we fine-tune it by exploring the new-new & discovering what resonates & what doesn’t, which new skills we can add to our repertoire, what makes us feel more “me,” enhances our sense of self.

don’t worry, ego is a good thing—if we didn’t have one we wouldn’t get out of bed every day!

what itch do you want to scratch?

mental/emotional direction

ārdrā is ruled by stormy rudra, an aspect of shiva, so you know transformation—whether we like it or not!—is gonna be involved. we can expect some inner turmoil, emotional storms, the opportunity to cry if we want to/need to, to purge, release.

this nakshatra’s unique quality/energy/power is tikshna, which means “sharp,” “keen,” “intense.” it’s associated with, yes, intense transformation, deep inner work, removing obstacles/negativity, healing & detox (physically, mentally, spiritually).

how keen are you to release what’s preventing you from becoming the best version of yourself? (i mean, you’re perfect the way you are, but. ... )

can you get with the purging program? remember: what you resist persists!

emotional support

the first lunar day (tithi), the first phase of the waxing moon, is ruled by kameshwari, whose name means “goddess of desire” (kama = “desire”; ishwari = “goddess”). she wakes up our true desire, brings it front & center in our consciousness, makes us aware of its existence.

if you were as sleepy as i was yesterday, today you get to wake up, realize what you want to manifest in the waxing lunar cycle.

what’s your desire?

quality of energy

monday is moon’s day, which means it’s a day to feel into our interconnectedness rather than our separateness, to feel the joy of others as our joy, the sorrow of others as our sorrow, & thus to feel into our vast well of compassion.

“i was no longer needing to be special, b/c i was no longer so caught up in my puny separateness that i had to keep proving i was something.”—ram dass

TL;DR

enhance your sense of self—discover a new talent, skill, passion. • intense transformation is possible, but it’s not for sissies! • wakey-wakey from your deep sleep & become aware of what’s arising in your consciousness. • take a page from ram dass & feel into your interconnectedness with one & all.

the daily bliss is 100% human generated! the act of creation is intrinsic to being human—when we give up our agency to create, we cease, little by little, to be fully human.

may it allow you to align with the day’s cosmic energy so you can find & create a little (or a lot!) more bliss in your life.
