Daily Spiritual Rundown: The Warrior Moon Rises
Thursday, July 10, 2025
The Full Moon reaches its peak in Purva Ashada, the nakshatra of the undefeated. This is not a gentle moon, it is a moon of declarations, of emotional intensity, of truth that refuses to stay buried. Sagittarius demands justice. Purva Ashada demands victory, not over others, but over illusion.
The Moon opposes the Sun in Gemini, illuminating the axis of wisdom and information, belief and curiosity. What you know is not as important as what you stand for. This is a time to speak your truth, but not to shout it. Let your words be arrows of clarity, not weapons of pride.
Mars and Ketu continue their conjunction in Leo, now burning with karmic heat. The fire is sacred. Let it refine you.
Global Currents
Full Moon in Sagittarius (Purva Ashada Nakshatra): This nakshatra is ruled by Apas, the water deity, yet it burns with fire. It brings emotional waves and spiritual declarations. A powerful time for releasing what no longer aligns with your dharma.
Sun in Gemini Opposes Moon in Sagittarius: The mind and the spirit face off. Gemini wants data; Sagittarius wants meaning. Let your intellect serve your intuition. Let your curiosity serve your cause.
Mars-Ketu Conjunction in Leo (Tightening): The karmic fire continues to rise. This is a time of ego purification, not performance. Let your actions be led by soul, not spectacle.
Personal Pulse
You may feel emotionally charged, even volatile. That’s not a sign of weakness, it’s a sign of awakening. Let the fire rise, but don’t let it consume. Let it illuminate.
Ask yourself: What truth am I ready to declare? What illusion am I ready to release?
Grounding Practices
Full Moon Ritual: Write down what you’re ready to release. Burn it safely under the moonlight. Offer the ashes to water or earth.
Mantra: “Om Apas Devyai Namaha,” to honor the purifying power of water and emotion.
Breathwork: Cooling breath (Sheetali) to soothe emotional heat.
Journal Prompt: “What does it mean to be undefeated in spirit?”
How to Move Through This Day
Let your truth be clear, not cruel. Let your emotions be honored, not hijacked. This is a day to release, to realign, and to rise.
Affirmation
“I release what dims my light. I speak with clarity. I rise with purpose.”
As the warrior moon rises, may you remember: You are not here to win battles. You are here to embody truth, undaunted, undefeated, and free.
