what to know so you can align with today’s energy from a vedic (not western/tropical) astrology point of view: it’s tuesday, september 1, moon is in aries, in the starspace called bharaṇī, it’s the sixth phase of the waning moon & mercury’s day.
aries …
… invites us to take bold, authentic, courageous action, which may mean starting that business or project we’ve been meaning to, may mean showing up as our most genuine selves.
in the weight of ink, the phd candidate aaron levy wonders if the object of his affections had “seen through his cool & his vanity & understood what he secretly feared: that underneath it all, [he] lacked the courage for an authentic life? that he had not the slightest idea who he was without praise,” without other people’s reflections of him.
aaron had yet to learn how to live without giving two “f’s” about what other people think. (spoiler alert: he does get there!)
do you have the courage to live your most authentic life, to show up without caring what other people might think of what you do or how you be, to sing your heart out whether you have an audience or not?
bharaṇī …
… is represented by the womb, seat of life, & is ruled by yama, lord of death. if that seems like a contradiction, consider that each death, each ending, each release of, letting go of something makes room for something new to be born. the womb is the transition zone where the soul takes on a new body, where, you might say, the old clothes, the old identity, are shed & new ones put on.
this nakshatra reminds us that the feeling of absolute aliveness comes when we can be in the flow of life, can embrace endings as much as we do beginnings, understand that they are all part of the flow.
the sixth lunar day (tithi), …
… the sixth phase of the waning moon, supports us in using the heat of our passion to make something tangible & indestructible, just as heat & pressure over time create a diamond from carbon. try destroying a diamond!
if you connected with a goal, one true aim yesterday, today turns up the heat on it.
wednesday …
… is ruled by mercury, who loves words, his new favorite being praxian. praxians are members of the technocrat elite (i.e., silicon valley bazillionaires), whose goal, per their manifesto, is to “establish a new form of human civilization,” “to construct city-states that use smart surveillance systems & programmable infrastructure—what the UN calls ‘frontier technology’—to control the behaviour of populations,” as the journalist iain davis has described it.
mercury doesn’t like to scare anyone, he’s a gentle guy, but if that sounds scary, it should!
🌖
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.
