what to know so you can align with today’s energy from a vedic (not western/tropical) astrology point of view: it’s friday, july 17, moon is in leo, in the starspace called pūrvaphālgunī, it’s the fourth phase of the waxing moon & venus’ day.
where your attention is being drawn
leo is ruled by the sun, whose dharma is to send his rays out equally to all 24/7—dude never stops shining, isn’t parsimonious or biased with his light, doesn’t turn it back on himself. he shines to illuminate each of us as if we were standing center stage under a spotlight.
image what the world would be like if we each stood proudly center stage & shone like the sun!
what if you shone not for yourself but as an example, to encourage others to shine as well, to show them what’s possible, how to do it?
how to direct your mental/emotional energy
pūrvaphālgunī is ruled by bhaga, the god of delight, of earthly (& also heavenly) bliss, also, like today, by venus. in the heart of leo, this nakshatra brings a message about the necessity of taking time out from our kingly, our earthly duties, for some R&R. it reminds us that all work & no play makes us dull AF, & that playing hard allows us to work even harder.
what does play look like for you? what’s your fave way to relax & restore?
what supports you emotionally
on the fourth lunar day (tithi), the fourth phase of the waxing moon, we can feel like we’re in it alone, that hurdles appear out of nowhere that we’re expected to leap over. here’s the thing: the more we resist them, the more they will persist. the more we complain about not having help, the harder we make things.
to get you over the hurdle, which is all in your mind, count down from 5 to 1 (5, 4, 3, 2, 1) & just do it, like mel robbins.
what’s the best that could happen?!
how to align with the weekday’s energy
friday is ruled by venus, who, like jupiter, the guru, is also a teacher, but brings lessons, allows us to accrue knowledge, & hopefully wisdom, through the experiences brought to us vis à vis our embodied existence, brought to us by what delights our senses—art, food, nature, people, music, massages.
friday is always a good day to do what we love with the ones we love, but/& with venus not exactly feeling the love these days, & for the foreseeable future, it’s a good idea to give ourselves a little extra love before we engage with others.
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 east or northeast & you just might catch a tailwind.
what’s the best that could happen?!
🌒
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.
