what to know so you can align with today’s energy from a vedic (not western/tropical) astrology point of view: it’s wednesday, august 5, moon is in aries, in the starspace called aśvinī for a teensy bit longer, then bharanī, it’s the seventh phase of the waning moon for a smidge longer, then the eighth, & it’s mercury’s day.

 

aries …

… vibrates with the frequency of boldly, courageously, fearlessly going where we’ve never gone before & planting our flag, staking a claim. it’s where we, excuse my french, don’t give two fucks about what people will think & just do it.

“you can have the greatest product/service/art work to ever exist. however, if you don’t heal that visibility wound, if you don’t lose the comparisons, if you don’t give your gifts permission to breathe & expand outside of its container, you limit the sacred experience of the fullness your gift has to offer, & the lessons it teaches along the way. you deserve to experience this.”—sierra

what is preventing you from starting that business, writing that novel, taking that life drawing class? what would you do or create, how would you be if you didn’t give two you-know-whats, if you weren’t self-censoring?

 

bharanī …

… is where, after the quick start we get/got in aśvinī (plz see yesterday’s post for more), we might have to pivot, might have to deal with unforeseen consequences b/c we, um, moved too fast, made a decision that we didn’t thoroughly think through. well, ya never know how the dominoes will fall, or if they will fall, right? if we, say, inadvertently stepped on someone’s toes, hurt their feelings, disappointed them, we get to make amends.

got amends to make? need to tack, switch direction?

 

the eighth lunar day, …  

… the eighth phase (tithi) of the waning moon (plz see yesterday’s post for the seventh), is that half-dark, half-light time of the lunar cycle, & since moon is our consciousness, our mind, we may be feeling half-dark, half-light, half self-boosting & self-loving, half self-critical & self-loathing. the secret of this tithi is our ability to embrace all of us, own all of us—he good, the bad & the ugly, or, i should say, what we perceive/label as good, bad or ugly.

inner work is on the menu! can you own your shadow, like the moon does?

 

mercury …  

… loves words & dictionaries, is appalled that we seem to live in a world where words mean what the government says they do, in which a person can be science & a corporation can be a person, in which a terrorist can be someone who uses their words to express opinions that the government doesn’t like. whaaaaat?!

 

🌗🙏✨

 

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.
