Power to the Peaceful
Moon is in Cancer + it's Moon's day: It's a musical Monday, with Jimi Hendrix & Michael Franti sharing their wisdom.
it's monday, march 10, & moon is in cancer, in the starspace (pie slice of cancer sky) called pushya until early afternoon, then ashlesha. cancer vibrates with the frequency of unconditional love, the kind a parent has for their child. it's a selfless, i don't need or expect anything in return kinda love. cancer is the wish for everyone to be loved, for everyone to be held in the field of love, not hate. cancer is opposite capricorn. cancer is flow, capricorn is structure, government, rules. cancer is mutable, flexible; capricorn is fixed, you might even say stubborn. cancer is peace & governments get us into war b/c of their stubbornness, their fixity, b/c of clinging to policies/positions regardless of the results they achieve, b/c politicians crave power, for themselves & for their country. the polarity between cancer & capricorn is a kind of tug of war.
"when the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace."—jimi hendrix
pushya is the star of nourishment, ashlesha invites us to ask whether we just might be clinging to, giving too much energy to, people-emotions-situations-thoughts that are really not nourishing us at all, are in fact doing the opposite. pushya brings a lesson about feeding whatever we want to grow (a person, a project, an idea) the highest quality food, as we would a baby; ashlesha about squeezing the nutrition, the wisdom, out of our negative tendencies & then letting them go, shedding them like a snake does its skin.
it's the twelfth lunar day (tithi), the twelfth phase of the waxing moon, which is presided over by vijaya devi, who brings us victory ("jaya" = "victory") & success ... as long as we've done our homework, made an effort. there is no such thing as a free lunch, as above so below! vijaya devi resonates well with mondays, the twelfth tithi + monday are nectar yielding ingredients, with nectar meaning success.
monday is, like cancer, ruled by moon, who craves peace for one & all. believe it or not, some people believe that war is the cause of peace, that we (i.e., governments) can bomb our way to peace, either literally or via threats. seriously?! whaddya think?
"you can bomb the world to pieces, but you can't bomb it into peace."—michael franti
TL;DR
let unconditional love, not the love of war, be your north star. • nourish the highest in yourself, not your demons. • the twelfth lunar day + monday is a recipe for success. • listen to jimi: “when the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace.”
& that’s your daily bliss! IN-joy! 🌔🙏✨
