what to know so you can align with today’s energy from a vedic (not western/tropical) astrology point of view: it’s thursday, july 23, moon is in scorpio, in the starspace called viśakhā, it’s the tenth phase of the waxing moon & jupiter’s day.
scorpio …
… vibrates with the frequency of, well, our emotional discomfort, which is actually a good thing, b/c while our nervous system needs time in our comfort zone to rest & renew, no growth happens there. growth comes from “leaning into the sharp points,” as pema chödrön says. & the amount of growth we are capable of is in direct proportion to the amount of discomfort we can feel.
are you ready to grow?
viśakhā …
… is the only nakshatra ruled by two deities, indra & agni, the king & the priest, who are codependently connected: the king supports the priest financially, the priest blesses the king’s endeavors.
does your material (indra) existence support your spiritual (agni) aspirations? do your spiritual practices give your material existence meaning?
the tenth lunar day …
… the tenth phase of the waxing moon, reminds us of our dharma, of doing our duty, fulfilling the purpose we came here to fulfill. dharma doesn’t have to be a big thing like saving the world from nuclear implosion; it can be our unique way of being, of showing up. this tithi supports us in seeing the patterns in our lives—what we do ultimately becomes our destiny.
the shadow side of this tithi is confusion & self-doubt.
what truth do the patterns, the repetitive events/situations/people reveal about who & why you are?
jupiter …
… is related to wisdom, teachers, authority figures, fathers—in terms of the USA, our founding fathers.
in his farewell address (september 19, 1796), the always self-restrained & circumspection george washington said:
“it is our true policy to steer clear of permanent alliance with any portion of the foreign world.”
you’d think he had been gazing into a crystal ball, seeing the country he founded foundering 250 years hence & trying to ward off danger!
where do you source wisdom? who towers over you (george stood over six feet tall) in a fatherly way?

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.
