Conscious Calendars Vedic Astrology

When the planets are doing a lot….
you might be feeling A LOT 🫣

The Moon’s disappearing, Mercury’s retrograde, Venus is packing her bags preparing to exit from her exalted place — and your nervous system might be waving a little white flag.

This is your sign to lie down.
On the floor. On the grass.
On your carpet. Doesn’t matter — just let yourself exhale.

De-escalate. Recalibrate.
And if everything feels like too much?
Keep breathing!

Green Days ahead: July 21, 22, and 25.
Stay grounded. Don’t rush. Nap like it’s your job ☺️💚

Moon and Venus are together in Ta**us ♉️, bringing softness, grounded love, and choices that support safety, connection, and real abundance.

This isn’t about manifesting fast.
It’s about investing your energy wisely — toward something that lasts.

We’re 4 days from the New Moon.
The light is low, but the Moon is exalted in Rohini, the star of growth, beauty, and fertility.
Monday, Moon’s own day, adds emotional resonance to whatever you commit to now.

✨ Ask yourself:
What would I love to harvest one month from now?

Then take a step toward it today. Even a small one.
Then do it again tomorrow.
And the next day. 🌱

Steady care creates the most satisfying bloom. 🌻

The Sun has moved into Cancer, according to the sidereal zodiac used in Vedic Astrology. 💫
(Western astrology uses the tropical zodiac, while Vedic astrology is based on the actual constellations in the sky).

In Cancer, the Sun shifts from boldness to sensitivity.
It leaves the bright stage of Gemini and settles into the waters of the heart.

This is a time when leadership becomes less about asserting and more about attuning, less about standing out and more about standing with.

You might feel more protective of your inner world.
You might crave time at home, with chosen family, or within familiar routines.
You might feel the pull to nurture others, or finally admit that you need nurturing too.

The Sun is our sense of self, our confidence and clarity.
In Cancer, that clarity can get clouded by emotion, but it can also soften the sharp edges of the ego and help us reconnect with what really matters.

This transit asks:
✨Can you lead with care?
✨Can you stay connected to yourself while tending to others?
✨Can you feel the power in tenderness?

Because that’s the medicine here. And it’s potent.

If you want to see something rare and beautiful in the sky, wake up early tomorrow 🥰

Before the sun rises, Venus will shine on the horizon. Jupiter won’t be far behind.
And if you’re lucky, Mercury might just show up too.
These three good-giving don’t just dazzle the sky, they amplify your intentions 💫

And this morning? It’s a special one.
There’s a short, sacred window (two hours before sunrise) called Abhijit, known in Vedic astrology as “the one who cannot be defeated.”

If you start something during that time, a project, a practice, a message you’ve been holding back, it carries the momentum of fulfillment. 🙌

This kind of support doesn’t come every day.
But on July 12 (or the next day if you’re in Australia or New Zealand) the stars are aligned in just this way.

If you’ve been waiting for a sign to begin, consider this your whisper in the dark: rise, and begin ☀️

Auspicious Full Moon 🌕 in Sagittarius | Guru Purnima | July 10

A Full Moon in Purva Ashada is always fiery, visionary, and expansive, but when it lands on Guru Purnima, it becomes sacred.

Guru Purnima is one of the most auspicious days of the year to honor the teachers in your life, those who lit the path when you couldn’t see your next step, the ancestors whose wisdom still lives in your bones, and the unexpected guides who showed up exactly when you needed them.

This is a day to pause and offer something back.
A flower. A prayer. A voice note. A text that simply says, “You helped me.”
It can be that small. And that powerful. 🙌

✨ If you’re called, stay up and meditate at midnight, when it’s said the veil between this world and the lineages of wisdom is thinner.
✨ Or rise early and sit in silence for a moment with your heart open.
✨ Pay attention to your dreams and daydreams today.

Thursday is also Jupiter’s day, and this Full Moon is supported by both Jupiter and Venus, making it a Green Day on the Conscious Calendars.

Messages of grace and insight may come through.

Let this be a day of devotion. Let yourself be a student. And a teacher 🙌

💚 Venus in the 6th, Jupiter in the 7th, Mercury in the 8th from the Moon
