🧿 Corresponding Tarot Card: The Hierophant
The Moon continues its journey in its celestial home of Cancer, beginning the day in the hopeful and renewing energy of Punarvasu nakshatra. However, the emotional waters are deep, as the Moon forms an opposition to Pluto, now direct, in Capricorn. This creates a powerful tension between personal emotional needs (Cancer) and transformative power dynamics in relationships (Pluto in 7th). Around 3am EST, the lunar energy shifts into the supremely benevolent Pushya nakshatra, “The Star of Nourishment.” Ruled by Brihaspati (Jupiter) and Saturn, and symbolized by a cow’s udder, Pushya is considered one of the most auspicious nakshatras, offering spiritual and material sustenance. The day is further supported by a trine to Saturn Rx and Neptune Rx, blending discipline with compassion.
🌟 Today’s Cosmic Weather Report 🌟
Lunar Focus: The shift from Punarvasu to Pushya is a move from hopeful renewal to active, divine nourishment. Punarvasu is the quiver of arrows—the potential. Pushya is the milk that nurtures the archer, giving them the strength to shoot. The Moon-Pluto opposition ensures that this nurturing is not passive; it occurs within the context of powerful, ongoing transformations in your closest relationships, demanding emotional honesty and release.
Aspect Analysis: The trine to Saturn and Neptune is a profound blessing. It allows you to receive nourishment (Pushya) in a way that is both structured (Saturn) and spiritually compassionate (Neptune). You can ground your dreams and find sacred meaning in your responsibilities.

Pushya’s Energy (All Day): This is a highly auspicious day for spiritual practice, receiving guidance from a teacher, charitable giving, and family meals. It is the “most nourishing” nakshatra—consciously feed your body, mind, and soul. Seek blessings.
-
Harness the Trine: Engage in a spiritual practice that has a clear structure, such as a specific meditation technique or a routine of prayer. This combines Saturn’s discipline with Neptune’s divinity, perfectly aligning with Pushya’s nature.

Healing Activity: Prepare and share a nourishing meal. The act of cooking and eating food made with love perfectly embodies the energy of Pushya, feeding the spirit as well as the body.
🧿 Tarot Card: The Hierophant
This card is the perfect embodiment of Pushya’s energy. The Hierophant represents tradition, spiritual wisdom, conventional education, and the act of receiving divine blessing and knowledge from a sanctioned source. He is the bridge between the earthly and the divine, much like Brihaspati (Jupiter), the guru. This card signifies being nourished by established spiritual systems, teachers, and rituals, and finding deep emotional security in faith and benevolent structures—the core offering of Pushya nakshatra.
Open your heart to receive the divine nourishment that faith and tradition provide. 🙏
