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 8, moon is in cancer, in the starspace called aśleṣā, it’s the thirteenth phase of the waning moon & mars’ day.

 

cancer …

… is, as i mentioned yesterday, related to the ideal of maternal love & energy. as the fourth house of the natural zodiac (the one that begins with aries & ends with pisces, as opposed to the one that begins with your personal ascendant), it is connected to our inner peace, the kind we felt floating in the otherworldly waters of mom’s womb.

cancer is represented by a crab, which has a hard carapace, reminding us that that vulnerable place within, our tender heart, needs protection, boundaries.

got inner peace? are you overgiving, forgetting about yourself? are people asking too much of you? what’s your relationship with the word no?

“no is a complete sentence.”—anne lamott

 

aśleṣā …

… calls in the energy of the nagas, divine serpents who can see the poisons deep in our psyche that we may not be able, or willing, to. can see where we are depriving ourselves of inner peace by being attached to people, emotions, situations that are bringing us down rather than lifting us up, that are energy sucks rather than energy boosts.

if you’ve ever broken up with someone who was making you miserable, sucking the life out of you, & felt the lightness, the delightfulness of being afterward, you know how transformative it is to let go of an attachment that doesn’t serve your highest interest, that is a poison pill.

 

the thirteenth lunar day (tithi), …

… the thirteenth phase of the waning moon, puts the emphasis on the positive & has the ability to accelerate spiritual &/or material transformation by connecting us to our inner GPS so we can see more clearly.

this tithi resonates well with tuesday, producing a combo for accomplishment, as mars keeps us focused.

what might you accomplish with this auspicious support?

 

tuesday …

… is ruled by mars, whose superpowers as a protector & warrior come from his ability to do tapas, to increase his spiritual heat through focused effort. any time we sacrifice something, do a good, selfless deed, perform an action for the sake of another’s benefit, come to the aid of an underdog, fight for a goodly cause, we accrue punya, merit.

the more merit, the better!

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.
