what to know so you can align with today’s energy from a vedic (not western/tropical) astrology point of view: it’s friday, september 11,* moon is in virgo, in the starspace called uttaraphālgunī, it’s the first phase of the waxing moon & venus’ day.
virgo …
… vibrates with the frequency of tidying up our lives. it invites us to get out the mop & broom & scrub brush, roll up our sleeves & get to work. what area of your life needs some love, some attention to its details: finances? health? spirituality? your roof?
virgo work is unsexy (except for virgos!), but here’s the deal: your effort will be rewarded.
uttaraphālgunī …
… is ruled by aryaman, god of contracts, who blesses those made with the highest interests of both (all) parties in mind. it’s the counterpart to yesterday’s pūrvaphālgunī. first comes love in pūrva, then comes marriage in uttara. this nakshatra brings a lesson about the commitments/agreements we make & their consequences. it reminds us that we always have a choice & that we should be circumspect, not rash, when making decisions that involve other people, affect other people & will have huge ramifications for us as well.
take the time to choose wisely, don’t be fooled.
the first lunar day (tithi), …
… the first phase of the waxing moon, supports us in holding space for our new moon inquiries, which may or may not have solidified an intention, may still be a bit amorphous. that’s ok! sit with what’s arising. the beauty of jyotish is that your chart knows.
do you know your chart? what is it telling you?
friday …
… is ruled by venus, who gives us what we need to experience as spiritual beings with bodies & five senses. what do you need to experience today—art, love, nature, food, sex?—& what might that experience teach you, how might it help you evolve?
*25 years ago …
… i emerged onto the street in northern manhattan after voting in our primary & discovered that a plane had hit one of the WTC towers. unbelievable! i headed to work at the new york times, where i was an editor (another lifetime ago!), & when i emerged from the subway the lights on the five-foot-tall news zipper in times square blazed with the news that the other tower had been hit by a plane. impossible?!
friends ran from the clouds of ash, watched a plane flying ridiculously low past their window, calmed their children. a friend who worked at cantor fitzgerald was killed, while its CEO, harold lutnick, conveniently/suspiciously didn’t go to work.
the day before, defense secretary donald rumsfeld announced that the pentagon could not track $2.3 trillion (!) in transactions & the next day, 9/11, the pentagon’s accounting & budget offices were conveniently/suspiciously destroyed.
coincidence? maybe, maybe not.
it was focused chaos at the times for weeks as we tried to make sense out of an event that made no sense, & still makes no sense. that was used to dupe us into a senseless, endless war, into otherising, into being fearful & so willing to give up our civil rights. we still take off our shoes at the airport (unless we’ve got clear), are x-rayed & searched, people have their devices taken away to be illegally examined. really?!
the choices made that day keep on giving.
where were you on 9/11? does life feel better/safer or worse/scarier?
🌑
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.
