what to know so you can align with today’s energy from a vedic (not western/tropical) astrology point of view: it’s monday, august 10, moon is in gemini, in the starspace called punarvasu, it’s the thirteenth phase of the waning moon & moon’s day.
gemini …
… vibrates with the frequency of our ego identity. it’s where we explore unexplored areas of life to expand our skill set, expand our sense of self. we might try pickleball (am i the sole holdout?) & discover that we like it, start identifying as a person who plays pickleball. we might sign up for spanish & decide we can live without it, that we’re not going to be a person who speaks spanish.
where is your curiosity about who else you might be, what skill might expand your sense of self leading you?
punarvasu …
… reminds us that we get second chances—yay!—that what goes around comes around, eventually but inevitably, again. that life is cyclical & the sun always comes out after the rain, after, say, an emotional storm, psychic tumult.
this nakshatra is ruled by aditi, whose name means “unbounded,” “infinite.” she was the mother of all the gods—her creativity & optimism are infinite.
having survived the test of inner turmoil, how is your faith (that the universe has your back!) being renewed? how might hopefulness show up?
the thirteenth lunar day, …
… the thirteenth phase (tithi) of the waning moon, is ruled by kamadeva, the hindu cupid, & connects us to our inner GPS, our inner knowing, our heart wisdom, so we can see things more clearly. this tithi hews us toward love, toward forgiveness & compassion, which is the smart, altho not always so easy, way to go.
moon …
… is the planet of sharing & caring. in fact, sharing is caring. sharing resources—wisdom, food, time, a shoulder to cry on—giving/offering whatever we have to someone in need. poverty/need is not just about money.
“a rich man may be poor b/c he has never known any love. share love with him. a poor man may have known love but has not known good food—share food with him. a rich man may have everything & has no understanding—share your understanding with him; he is also poor. there are a thousand & one types of poverty. whatsoever you have, share it.”—osho
bonus track
new moon on wednesday is accompanied by a full solar eclipse at about 25° cancer. if you have planets within a coupla degrees either way (or are cancer, capricorn, leo or aquarius rising!), you will probs feel it more. eclipses are potent times for personal & collective transformation, bring what’s hidden (secret info!) to light. more later, but do notice what’s arising (or has already arisen), especially in terms of emotional nourishment, family matters, feeling at peace in your heart.
🌘
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.
