what to know so you can align with today’s energy from a vedic (not western/tropical) astrology point of view: it’s tuesday, august 4, moon leaps (!) from pisces into aries midmorning MDT, from the starspace called revatī into aśvinī, it’s the sixth phase of the waning moon until about the same time, then the seventh, & it’s mars’ day. that’s a whole lotta shifting energy!
the transition from pisces into aries …
… is not an easeful one as there is no nakshatra (starry starspace) supporting moon’s move from one sign to the other—moon has to leap without a net, & so we may feel netless as well, like we are in suspended animation, sort of holding our breath. this zone between water (cancer) & fire (aries) signs (called a gandanta) is where, b/c mind is unprotected, karma may jump up to bite us, giving us a great good opportunity to resolve, or make one more effort toward resolving, dealing with, some issue. yay!
meanwhile, pisces is where we end a cycle, aries where we begin again.
“what we call a new beginning is often the end. & to make an end is to make a beginning. the end is where we start from.”—t.s. eliot
what are you completing? what are you done with? what is dissolving so something else can evolve? what is next?
revatī …
… is where, depending on our karma, we might leave this world once & for all. guess what? if you’re reading this, you’re still here, have another life to live. are you ready to go again?
aśvinī …
… is where we come into this world, where our incarnation begins, where we take our first breath. it is, in fact, related to our prana, our precious life force, & brings a lesson about using it well, focusing it lest it be dissipated in all directions.
we get only so many breaths in a lifetime. how are you going to use yours?
through pranayama, we can control your breath, slow it down, & thus extend our life—that’s true biohacking!
the seventh lunar day, …
… the seventh phase (tithi) of the waning moon (plz see yesterday’s post for the sixth), gives us courage & mental steadiness, which we’ll need during gandanta time! & it is ruled by indra, who exhibited courage sometimes gone rogue at times & had to learn some lessons in humility. so carry on, but do so humbly or you might be temporarily brought to your knees, as he was.
mars …
… is the warrior & he has just moved into gemini, where gemini’s ruler, communicative mercury, is hanging out for barely another day. but, still, when mars & mercury come together, when mars is in mercury’s sign, we have to beware getting into arguments, using our words to fight rather than, say, to fire up our intellect to do research or problem-solve.
it’s ok to get into a debate, just be civil about it, do so out of curiosity, to learn something, not to win.

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.
