this is what you need to know to align with today’s energy from a Vedic (not Western/tropical) astrology point of view: it’s wednesday, july 15, moon is in cancer, in the starspace called puṣya until midmorning then aśleṣā, it’s the second phase of the waxing moon & mercury’s day.
where your attention is being drawn
cancer is all mothering all the time, which can get exhausting if mom doesn’t take care of herself, doesn’t create & hold some (loving!) boundaries. cancer is the empath with the huge heart who feels everyone’s needs, everyone’s pain & just wants to swaddle them in her arms, make “it” all better.
the lesson for cancer is to put on her (or his, or their) oxygen mask first.
are you overgiving? are you forgetting to eat & sleep & get exercise & go to the dentist while making sure others do?
how to direct your mental/emotional energy
aśleṣā (see yesterday’s post for puṣya) invites us to look at what we are clinging to, boa-constrictoring to—people? situations? emotions? ways of being? negativity? ideas about the future?—that aren’t serving us, that aren’t in our highest interest. we can ask ourselves what purpose they served, what truth, what wisdom those attachments might reveal to us, & then gently release their hold on us.
what truth might be yours to discover & lean into?
what supports you emotionally
on the second lunar day (tithi), the second phase of the waxing moon, we can actually see a bit of the moon’s light again & can feel the light returning within ourselves as well, which gives us the confidence in whatever our new moon intention was to let it start shining, to allow it to be visible to the world.
what are you trying to manifest—a project, a new habit or way of being?
how to align with the weekday’s energy
wednesday is ruled by mercury, the part of us that is discerning, adaptable/flexible, communicative & gentle. our mouths (i.e., our words, our speech) create a sh*t ton of karma, so sometimes the discerning, the flexi thing to do is to zip it, to not say something, to not answer the phone when “that” person calls, to not respond to that email or that text message, to not post a comment on a particular social media post, to, essentially, take a vow of silence—for a minute or a day.
with mercury still retrograde, zipping it, rewinding our words, reflecting before we open our mouths is especially advisable.
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 … if you feel like you are facing a headwind, are feeling physically or emotionally or otherwise obstructed/challenged today, try facing northeast or northwest & you just might catch a tailwind.
what’s the best that could happen if you tried it?
🌒
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.
