what to know so you can align with today’s energy from a vedic (not western/tropical) astrology point of view: it’s friday, august 7, moon is in taurus, in the starspace called rohiṇī, it’s the tenth phase of the waning moon & venus’ day.
taurus …
… is, as i mentioned yesterday, our comfort zone, which is brought to us by stocking up on what we value, creating value in our lives. if you’re not sure what you value, just look around. right now. what does your home look like? what things & people do you surround yourself with? how do you spend your time & money?
my lama always said that we are either in crisis or between crises—isn’t it? taurus is the between, where we get an IV drip of all that’s good & nourishing so that when the you-know-what hits the fan, when the emotional waters get choppy, we have that felt memory to help us ride them out, keep us afloat.
sooooo IN-joy taurus time!
rohiṇī …
… is, speaking of comfort, moon’s fave place, where moon feels most comfortable, would stay forever if poss, but it’s not. the 27 nakshatras are considered to be moon’s wives & the story goes that once upon a time moon was so enamored of rohiṇī that he stopped paying attention to (i.e., sleeping with) the 26 other ones. the wives created a big uproar in the heavens & moon got a talking to. at which point he got back to the business of sharing his love equally with one & all.
rohiṇī means “the reddish one” or “the growing one” & brings a lesson about not invoking jealousy in others with our passions/creativity—be passionate, do create, but don’t rub it in the faces of others.
i mean, who wants to get a talking to by the gods?!
the tenth lunar day, …
… the tenth phase (tithi) of the waning moon, is related to dharma, to fulfilling the purpose we are here to fulfill.
“you are not here accidentally—you are here meaningfully. there is a purpose behind you.”—osho
do you know your purpose? are you living it?
venus …
… rules taurus as well as friday, so it’s not only a double-good day to double-down on life’s pleasures (people, art, nature, food, music, etc.), on doing what we love with the ones we love, but with venus not being in his happy place these days, to also work doubly hard to feel pleasure & to be pleasant, to not be critical & disappointed.
hew toward satisfaction rather than dissatisfaction, to the bright side rather than the dark side.

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.
