what to know so you can align with today’s energy from a vedic (not western/tropical) astrology point of view: it’s tuesday, september 1, moon is in aries, in the starspace called aśvinī, it’s the fifth phase of the waning moon & mars’ day.
aries …
… is where we begin life, where the pranas come into the womb & we start developing as an embryo & nine months later—voilà!—are born.
as vedic & tamil siddha astrologer william lawrence wrote in a recent article, four people are born every second, 250 a minute, tens of thousands of people are born with the same natal chart, yet no two people are like, even identical twins, who, as life unfolds, will prove to be not identically identical.
what each person does with their chart is what makes them an individual, unidentical to someone with the same planetary placements—the same chart might produce an edison or a schoolteacher.
perhaps dr. seusss said it best: “there is no one alive that is youer than you”!
aśvinī …
… is related to those pranas i mentioned, our enlivening life force. to make a baby, they have to be focused on bringing sperm & egg together. the energy of this nakshatra is dynamic, enlivens our mind, urges us to get where we want to go, achieve our goals fast as fast. the key is to make sure we’re looking where we want to go, are harnessing our precious faculties of attention & intention on our objective.
as you might suspect, pranayama is a great tool to help us do so.
the fifth lunar day (tithi), …
… the fifth phase of the waning moon, is related to goddess lakshmi, whose name is derived from the sanskrit word lakṣya (लक्ष्य), which means “aim,” “goal,” or “target.”
this tithi + tuesday + aśvinī produces a very auspicious, a most favorable, combo that promotes prosperity, as in realizing our goals, hitting our target & experiencing deep inner joy as a result.
omg, i am sooooo feeling it? are you?
tuesday …
… is ruled by mars, who is associated with hanuman, who knew a thing or two about harnessing mars’ qualities of courage, fire & ability to take action, to focus his precious faculties of attention & intention in selfless service to a goal, which came naturally through devotion.
it’s a good day to ask, “what would hanuman do?”
🌖
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.
