what to know so you can align with today’s energy from a vedic (not western/tropical) astrology point of view: it’s monday, august 17, moon is in libra, in the starspace called citrā, it’s the sixth phase of the waxing moon & moon’s day.
libra …
… invites us to ponder whether our relationships are mutually beneficial, whether the pitching & catching, giving & taking are done equally by both (all) parties—you shouldn’t need an excel spreadsheet to figure that out.
oak trees growing together in groves have a symbiotic relationship. they protect their neighbors from winds. their roots intertwine underground to anchor them, keep them from become uprooted. they share food (in the form of sugars) with weaker trees so all can grow strong.
do you feel anchored by the people in your life or are you doing all the anchoring?
are you growing stronger together?
citrā …
… is ruled by vishvakarma, the cosmic architect, who created the reality in which we live—whoa! he reminds us that we create our reality, create ourselves, with each thought, word & action. our mission is to make our creation as useful & beautiful (citrā = “brilliant”) as possible by becoming evermore conscious, evermore aware, evermore intentional.
the sixth lunar day (tithi), …
… the sixth phase of the waxing moon, supports us in making our dream as real, as indestructible as a diamond. the reality we live in started with a thought in visvakarma’s mind, with a dream. look at what he wrought! what do you dream of manifesting? how can you make it tangible, real as real?
monday …
… calls us into the energy of the moon, the part of us that wants to connect, that wants to intermingle our roots with others, share our spirit with one & all.
“friendship is good, it is virtue. sharing your joy is good, it is great virtue. … sharing is the very foundation, the source. share your truth, share your meditation, share your love. share whatsoever inner beauty arises in you.”—osho
bonus track
sun, our soul, & if you are leo rising, your ruling planet, is traversing the fraught gandanta zone between cancer & leo, trying to land, safely & sweetly, in leo, but/& it’s a process, the landing can be bumpy. when sun moves signs it’s always a good idea to take a “beach day” if you can, cut yourself some slack, lower expectations. sun in gandanta is an especially potent opportunity for shedding, for self-reflection, doing inner work, for stepping away from the world—if not for the whole day (as if!), at least for a wee bit to ease the landing.

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.
