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 29, moon is in aries, in the starspace called bharaṇī, it’s the fourth phase of the waning moon & mars’ day.
aries …
… invites us to bring our A-game, to step into the best version (not that there’s anything wrong with the current version!), the most authentic version of ourselves, which might be someone we have only dreamed of being but haven’t yet manifested, might be someone we didn’t even know we were or could be.
when suleika jaouad was a twentysomething with a fresh & startling diagnosis of leukemia, she started writing, therapeutically. her writing became a new york times column (“life, interrupted“), which became a stunning memoir (between two kingdoms—highly recommend!), which became a community. along the way she became, probs a surprise to her, a force & source of inspiration.
“there are versions of ourselves we only meet by doing things we aren’t sure we can do.”—suleika jaouad
is the next version of you waiting in the wings, waiting for you to do something?
bharaṇī …
… is ruled by yama, the lord of death, who holds us accountable for our actions, & he is also the deity ruling the fourth tithi. which means it’s a double-good day to own our mistakes, to pivot or apologize if need be. aries is, after all, the ram who puts his head down & just goes, doesn’t look where he’s going, can wreak havoc along the way. so if you went too fast yesterday & have consequences to bear, bear them, say you’re sorry, make amends, recalibrate. it happens to the best of us!
the fourth lunar day (tithi), …
… the fourth phase of the waning moon, is ruled by goddess bherunda, aka “the formidable one,” the one who makes us look at what we don’t want to look at, the things about ourselves we don’t want to accept—yikes! this tithi is one of those that is best for doing some inner work, unpacking our stuff, processing it & feeling purified (at least somewhat) as a result.
tuesday …
… is ruled by fiery mars, who is our “can do” essence, not the “can think” or “can feel” part of us. & he’s in watery/feely cancer. you know what happens when fire meets water? right, it produces steam. we get steamed up, we get fired up emotionally. our mission is to be with what we’re feeling, not act on, not act out—i know it might not be easy, but mars is, after all, the ur yogi, so let’s channel that energy, move it through our bodies, yes?
🌖
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.
