The Magic of Repetition
Moon is in Gemini, then Cancer + it's Jupiter's day: From intellectual grasping to emotional engagement; honor Jupiter if you want more of what he wants to give.
it's thursday, june 26, & moon moves from gemini into cancer this afternoon while being supported & transported by the starspace called punarvasu. gemini is thinky, cancer feely. gemini vibrates with the frequency of curiosity & intellectual stimulation. it's where we want to try new things, learn new things, develop new skills, just for the fun of it, just b/c we can—all in the service of further honing our sense of self. cancer vibrates with the frequency of heart-centeredness. whatever we take up in gemini that doesn't resonate in our heart, doesn't feeeeeel good, we give up in cancer. "they" say the longest journey is from the head to the heart, from thinking/analyzing to simply knowing, from intellectually grasping to emotional engagement, from logic & reason to empathy, compassion & connection with others & the self. maybe we can shorten that road trip today?
punarvasu means "return" (punar) "of the light" (vasu) & it gives the power to gain or retrieve objects or objectives (vastu prapana shakti). it is ruled by aditi, whose name means "infinite," "unbounded." she is the mother of all that is & brings infinite nurturing & compassion, renewal, revitalization, hopefulness, harmony restored. this asterism reminds us of the circularity of time—that the sun always does come out again after a storm, does rise each day, that cycles repeat over & over & over again. & so it gives us an opportunity to repeat something, try one mo' time to get it right, have a do over, a second chance. as my teacher sharon gannon says, "with repetition the magic is forced to arise."
it's the second lunar day (tithi), the second phase of the waxing moon, when the moon's light is more visible & our light, our intention for this lunar cycle, is burning brighter, both inside & outside. we are feeling more confident about owning it & sharing it, letting the world see what we're up to. how's that going?
thursday is ruled by jupiter, planet of wisdom, optimism & expansion/abundance. if you want more of what jupiter has to give, give him what he wants:
• read from scripture or a philosophical text
• play secret santa & give anonymously or without expecting anything in return
• put on your rose-colored glasses & your "be positive" trucker hat
• share your knowledge by teaching or offering someone advice (but only if they ask!)
• wear yellow, jupiter's fave color
TL;DR
shorten the journey from your head to your heart. • it’s second-chances day! • own your light & don’t be afraid to share it. • if you want what jupiter has, give him what he wants.
& that’s your daily bliss! IN-joy! 🌒🙏✨
