Finding Stillness Under the July Sky

By @james_thompson

It’s July 20th, and the sky is quite active. We’ve got the Sun and Jupiter sitting together in Cancer, creating a heavy internal pull toward security and emotion. With the Moon currently passing through Chitra in Libra, you might feel a bit of mental restlessness or a need to balance your outer tasks with your inner life. When the mind feels cluttered, it’s often a sign that we need to steady our own internal rhythm.

I’ve found that the simple practice of Nadi Shodhana—alternate nostril breathing—is the most reliable tool for this. It directly impacts your nervous system and helps stabilize the energy of an overactive Moon. Just five minutes of calm, rhythmic breathing can help you ground that airy Libra energy and process your thoughts without getting lost in them.

If you want to add a vibration to support this, try chanting 'Om Shanti' quietly. It’s not about some grand transformation; it’s about acknowledging your current state and choosing to return to center. Don’t fight the planetary transits. Use them as a prompt to come back to your breath. We’re all trying to balance our karma, and quiet consistency is usually the best way forward. Stay present today.

That silver cup trick is a lifesaver, but don't you think we're all a bit too obsessed with balancing our Lo Shu grids lately? Sometimes I wonder if we’re just using these numbers to avoid facing the fact that life’s supposed to be a little messy.

With Saturn stationing in Revati and the Moon moving through Virgo, your mind's likely spinning with details that don't need fixing. Skip the extra analysis today; just drink a glass of water from a silver cup to ground that restless energy.

With the Moon currently in Virgo and under the analytical influence of Hasta, it's the perfect time to channel that mental energy into practical, small tasks. Don't stress about grand outcomes; just clear your desk and organize your schedule to restore some inner order.

The Moon is moving through Libra right now, which is a great time to settle any restless energy and aim for a bit of balance. If you're feeling indecisive, don't force a big move today; just focus on tidying your workspace or clearing out what's cluttering your mind.

With Mars currently in Taurus, you might be feeling extra stubborn or stuck in your ways regarding family matters. Try soaking your feet in warm, salted water tonight; it's a simple way to ground that heavy energy and cool your temper.
