🌟 Today’s Cosmic Weather Report 🌟
Lunar & Planetary Focus: The day begins in the supremely nourishing embrace of Pushya, allowing you to absorb the final blessings of this auspicious energy. However, in the early morning hours (around 3 AM EST), the Moon makes a critical shift into the intense and hypnotic nakshatra of Ashlesha, “The Clinging Star,” ruled by the Nagas (serpent deities). This brings a deep, transformative, and potentially manipulative energy to your emotional body. The day is bracketed by a Gandanta Alert from 7 PM to 8 AM tomorrow, as the Moon prepares to cross from the water sign of Cancer into the fire sign of Leo—a spiritually sensitive “drowning point” where deep emotional patterns surface for release.
Planetary Context: The nurturing foundation of yesterday is tested by Ashlesha’s penetrating gaze. The opposition to Pluto is amplified, dragging powerful psychological undercurrents and relationship dynamics to the surface. The trine to Saturn and Neptune helps you structure and spiritualize this intense introspection. Meanwhile, the Sagittarius stellium (Sun, Venus, Mars) is at the critical 20-21° Purva Ashada—the “Declaration of War” degree—opposing your hidden fears and demanding bold action based on truth.
🔭 Planetary Positions & Their Impact (From the Moon in Cancer)
-
1st House (Self, Identity): Moon in Cancer (Ashlesha). 🌙
Your emotions are deep, magnetic, and penetrating. You may feel possessive, intuitively sharp, or entangled in complex emotional patterns. Ashlesha grants the wisdom of the serpent—the ability to shed old skin—but warns against its venom of manipulation or obsessive clinging. -
7th House (Partnerships, Power): Pluto in Capricorn. ♇
The ongoing opposition creates a potent crisis in close relationships or inner power struggles. Ashlesha’s energy can unearth subconscious control issues, jealousy, or transformative truths that have been hidden beneath the surface of your connections. -
6th House (Duty, Health): Sun, Venus, and Mars in Sagittarius (Purva Ashada). ☀️♀️♂️
Your daily work and health routines are charged with a confrontational, truth-telling fire. You are declaring your stance on an ethical issue, fighting for a cause in your workplace, or vigorously pursuing a health goal. This opposes the hidden complexities Ashlesha reveals.
🧘♂️ Actionable Advice for the Day:
-
Morning (Ashlesha Moon): Embrace Depth, Release Control. Use Ashlesha’s penetrating energy for deep psychological insight or healing work, like therapy or shadow work. Be fiercely honest with yourself about any manipulative patterns (using tears, guilt, or silence) you or others may employ. The serpent’s wisdom is in shedding skin, not in clinging.
-
Gandanta Hours (7 PM – 8 AM tomorrow): Navigate the Emotional Threshold. This is a spiritually and emotionally volatile crossing. Avoid making permanent decisions based on intense, swirling feelings. Be mindful of emotional outbursts or power plays in close relationships. Meditate, take a salt bath, or practice breathwork to stay centered.
-
Channel the Purva Ashada Opposition: The fiery declaration in your 6th house is the antidote to Ashlesha’s potential toxicity. Channel any intense emotions into courageous, ethical action in your daily life. Cleanse a toxic work habit, defend a colleague, or start a demanding health regimen.
-
Use the Saturn-Neptune Trine: Anchor the day’s emotional intensity with a compassionate but disciplined spiritual practice. Structure your introspection with journaling or bring compassion to the difficult truths you uncover.
Healing Activity: “The Serpent’s Shedding.” During the Ashlesha Moon, write down a fear, attachment, or manipulative pattern you are ready to release. Coil the paper like a snake. During the Gandanta window, safely burn it, visualizing yourself shedding this skin and emerging renewed for the fiery journey into Leo.
🧿 Corresponding Tarot Card: The Moon

The Moon card depicts the luminous yet mysterious path between two towers, guided only by intuition and watched by a crayfish (a creature of the deep) and a howling wolf. This perfectly captures the journey through Ashlesha and the Gandanta. It represents illusion, deep subconscious fears, and the haunting beauty of the unseen world coming to light. The card warns of deception (self-deception or otherwise) and emotional confusion, but it also promises that by walking the path with faith in your intuition, you will reach the dawn of clarity. This is the day to face what lurks in the emotional depths.
Walk the path of deep feeling with courage. The dawn of a new emotional fire awaits on the other side. 🙏
