Japanese Mythology & Deities

Major Gods in the Chronicles (24)

Tsukuyomi-no-Mikoto ~ God of the moon, the ruler of the night & reading the moon calendar

In the Chronicles, Tsukuyomi is said to be born out of the right eye of Izanagi-no-Mikoto when he purified himself after fleeing from the Land of the Dead. He is the younger brother of the eldest goddess Amaterasu (The sun god) and the elder brother of Susanoo-no-mikoto (The god of the sea).

He is thought to be the deity of the moon who rules over the land of night, but there are several different theories.

It is said that he was born after the goddess Oohirume-no-Muchi (Amaterasu, the sun goddess), and that "his luminous splendour is as bright as the sun, and he should rule with the sun.” This may mean that he is the god of the full moon, who is comparable to the sun.

Not many anecdotes have survived, and Tsukuyomi-no-Mikoto is so little known that even his gender is unknown, but he has a rare beauty, and the sea and the night - this is his domain.

Tsukuyomi-no-mikoto is mentioned in the following episode:

Tsukuyomi angered Amaterasu when he killed Ukemochi, the goddess of food.

Amaterasu once sent Tsukuyomi to represent her at a feast presented by Ukemochi. The goddess created the food by turning to the ocean and spitting out a fish, then facing a forest and spitting out boiled vegetables, and finally turning to a rice paddy and coughing up a bowl of rice. Tsukuyomi was utterly disgusted by the fact that, although it looked exquisite, the meal was made in a disgusting manner, and so he killed her.

Soon, Amaterasu learned what happened and she was so angry that she refused to ever look at Tsukuyomi again, forever moving to another part of the sky. This is the reason that day and night are never together.

However, a similar anecdote is told of his younger brother Susanoo, so some believe that it was Susanoo who killed Ukemochi, or that Susanoo and Tsukiyomi are the same god.

日本神話と神様たち

記紀に登場する主な神々(24)

月読命（つくよみのみこと）

~ 夜の国を治め、月齢や暦を読む月の神

記紀において、月読命（つくよみのみこと）は伊邪那岐命（いざなぎのみこと）によって生み出されたとされる。月を神格化した、夜を統べる神であると考えられているが、異説もある。長女・天照大御神（あまてらすおおみかみ）の弟神にあたり、須佐之男命（すさのおのみこと）の兄神にあたる。

日本書紀には、大日孁貴（おおひるめのむち）に続いて生まれた神とあり、「その光彩（うるわ）しきこと、日に亜げり。以って日に並べて治らすべし」とある。太陽と比肩しうる満月の神という意味だろう。

あまり多くの逸話が残されておらず、月読命（つくよみのみこと）については、性別さえも不明なほど知られていないが、世にも稀なる美形であり、海と夜、これが月読命（つくよみのみこと）の領域である。

なお、月読命（つくよみ）には、次のようなエピソードが残されている：

あるとき、月読命(つくよみ)は、天照大御神(あまてらす)の命を受けて保食神(うけもちのかみ=五穀豊穰の女神)の元に行った。このとき保食神(うけもち)に、自らの口から吐き出した食物を取り出してもてなされた無礼な行為を怒った月読命(つくよみ)は、女神を切り殺してしまう。

やがて、天照大御神(あまてらす)は事の真相を知り、怒りのあまり二度と月読命(つくよみ)を見ることを拒み、永遠に別の場所へと移動した。昼と夜が一緒になることがないのは、このためである。

しかし、同じような逸話が須佐之男命（すさのおの）にもあるため、保食神(うけもち)を殺したのは須佐之男命（すさのおの）ではないか、または、須佐之男命（すさのおの）と月読命(つくよみ)が同一人物であるという説もある。

Full moon in Pisces

[On wednesday, 2. September 2020]

🌒🌓🌔♓🌖🌗🌘

• • •

General:

The full moon is the time with the highest level of energy. The moon in Pisces focuses this energy on feelings and spirituality. You might notice having a stronger intuition and sensitivity towards the feelings of others. This can be overwhelming and making you feel like avoiding social situations at all, but it is the ideal time to be with yourself, meditate and get in touch with your inner self and your spiritual guards.

Physical:

Pisces rules the nervous-system. Especially on a full moon, you might experience heavier emotions and have a harder time controlling them. Be careful with the intake of stimulants, like nicotine, caffeine or alcohol, as they can affect your nerves stronger than usual and cause you anxiety, aggression or generally irritation.

During a full moon, the blood-pressure tends to be higher, so it is recommended to avoid undergoing surgeries, since possible complications can end up to be more severe.

Also accidents are more likely to happen (wheter it be in traffic, at work, or just at home) and the crime-rate is a bit higher than usual, all to be connected to the higher blood-pressure as well.

Botanic:

Water your plants

Grass mowed today grows tight

Sow spinach and lettuce

Maintain salads and greens

Don't store

Emily's Energy:

With my natal moon in Pisces, one might think this is the best time for me. In reality, I experience just as much social anxiety. Whenever the moon is in Pisces (especially if it's a full moon), I notice that I'm way more irrational. It is not a good time for me to attend gatherings or parties, as the smallest incident might make me cry.

I have also noticed that alcohol really is to be used carefully in this times. It seems to hit faster than usual and you might lose control of it. I have seen this in other people too.

But I feel like the Pisces moon makes me more creative and visional. The energy definetely goes inward and is ultimately enriching.

I wish you all a very nice full moon and that you'll be able to use it to the fullest!

Yours, Emily.
