what to know so you can align with today’s energy from a vedic (not western/tropical) astrology point of view: it’s wednesday, october 7, moon is in leo, in the starspace called maghā until 10-ish a.m. MDT, then pūrvaphālgunī, it’s the twelfth phase of the waning moon until almost noon, then the thirteenth, & it’s mercury’s day. so def some shifting energy, but at least we don’t have a gandanta to deal with!

 

leo …

… is the sign of the king (gender not required), of our sovereignty, of standing in & wielding our power with integrity. for the greater good of all. not for our own aggrandizement. not so we can amass enough money to buy a private bunker. not so our friends can become gazillionaires at the expense of the masses.

“we can have democracy in this country, or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, but we can’t have both.”—louis d. brandeis, supreme court justice from 1919 to 1939. one can only imagine what he’d think/say now!

the sun rules leo & has no ulterior motives, no secret agenda. it shines b/c it can & it shines on one & all, serves all equally. that’s our job as well.

 

pūrvaphālgunī …

… (please see yesterday’s post for maghā) is ruled by bhaga, the god of delight, who reminds us that all work & no play makes us all dull boys & girls, men & women, people. he brings a lesson about the restorative power of, well, resting, taking a load off, putting up our feet, turning our to-do list over & not looking at it.

it turns out that doing nothing is actually doing something, that downtime fuels creativity & focus, makes us more productive later. it turns out that spending time IN-joying life is the way to get more done.

 

the twelfth ➣ thirteenth lunar day (tithi), …

… phase of the waning moon, means we have all morning for goddess vijaya, aka “the victorious one,” to answer our prayers (did you pray? how? how hard?) & the afternoon into tomorrow for goddess sarvamangala, aka “the all-auspicious one,” to increase all juiciness & remove all ickiness, all shortcomings, doubts, to strengthen our connection to our inner knowing, to our intuition, to our own GPS.

 

wednesday …

… is ruled by thinky-communicative-researchy mercury, who is within 1 degree of venus, in libra—they are basically making a planet sandwich. take advantage of this creative & friendly combo to brainstorm & share your brainstorming—maybe about your partnerships (romantic, business, etc.) & how or how not they’re working for you & what might make them fit you like a glove?

 

🌘🙏✨

 

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.
