what to know so you can align with today’s energy from a vedic (not western/tropical) astrology point of view: it’s monday, july 20, moon is in virgo, in the starspace called citrā, it’s the seventh phase of the waxing moon & moon’s day.
where your attention is being drawn
virgo wants us to spic-&-span our lives from top to bottom, inside & out. as the sixth sign of the natural zodiac it is where we protect ourselves from debt & illness & a crumbling infrastructure by making doctors’ appointments, calling the plumber, taking financial stock, joining the gym, recommitting to our yoga or meditation practice, making dietary improvements, finally putting stuff up for sale on ebay.
it’s a make a list & check stuff off kinda day!
how to direct your mental/emotional energy
citrā’s mantra might be, quoting rumi, “let the beauty we love be what we do,” &, he might have added, “let it be who we are.” for this nakshatra is ruled by visvamitra, the divine architect, creator of objects (our universe! the flying chariot/castle rama flew into battle!) that are both useful & beautiful.
to complete rumi’s quote, “there are hundreds of ways to kneel & kiss the ground.” how might you do so? how might being your most useful & beautiful creation be how you kneel & kiss the ground?
what supports you emotionally
the seventh lunar day (tithi), the seventh phase of the waxing moon, is ruled by saturn & indra, the one who keeps us on our karmic path & the one who, um, sometimes fell off the karmic wagon. this tithi resonates well with monday, the one plus the other a combo for accomplishment, for doing our duty. & if we’ve lost our way, we just might get a message—in the form of a person or situation—to point us back in the right direction.
how to align with the weekday’s energy
monday is ruled by moon, the planet of connection & intuition.
“summer goal: become so connected with your intuition that you clearly know when someone or something is truly worth your energy.”—yung pueblo
where today’s headwind is coming from
ok, this is my newest, favoritist, funnest aspect of jyotish (vedic astrology), &, like all things jyotish, it is very personal to your specific chart, so it may resonate, may not. but headwinds may be coming (well, they’re coming, but not for everyone!) in the form of anger & ill speech, so, if it applies to you: cool your jets, shut down gossip (listening to it, spreading it), turn a deaf ear to criticism & judgment.

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.
