The Sun signifies the soul; the Moon the mind; Mars strength; Mercury speech; Jupiter knowledge and happiness; Venus desire; and Saturn (the Sun’s son) sorrow. The Sun and Moon are the two royal planets; Mars is the army-commander; Mercury the heir-apparent; Jupiter and Venus (preceptors of the gods and of the demons) the two ministers; and Saturn the servant.

The mind today
The Moon rests beside the Sun and the night is dark — the mind, too, is invited to rest. Tradition gives this day to the ancestors and to quiet. Energy may feel low; that is the day doing its work, not a fault in you.
Pūrṇā — A day of fullness. Count what is already complete — write down three things that went well before you sleep.
Three things that help
Keep the evening light: an early, simple meal and screens off an hour before bed.
Remember your elders — light a lamp, offer water, or simply phone a grandparent.
Ten minutes of silence. Write one intention for the fortnight that begins tomorrow.

Nandā — A day whose very name is joy. Let one small delight be deliberate — music, a favourite meal, a call to someone who makes you laugh.
Three things that help
Give something away — food, clothes, time. Generosity is the oldest mood-lifter.
Talk through the week with someone you trust; say the thing out loud.
A slow evening walk after dinner, without the phone.
A japa for the Moon
ॐ सोमाय नमः
The Moon’s nāma-mantra — “Oṁ, salutation to Soma”. Eleven slow repetitions, facing the Moon or a lamp.

Bhadrā “the gentle, the wholesome”
The mind today
The Moon rises later each night, still generous with light. The mind digests what the full Moon stirred up. It is a good time to teach, to thank, and to give things away.
Bhadrā — A steadying day. Routine is medicine today: regular meals, a tidy desk, an early night.

Riktā “the emptying”
The mind today
The Moon rises later each night, still generous with light. The mind digests what the full Moon stirred up. It is a good time to teach, to thank, and to give things away.
Riktā — A day for emptying out: clear a drawer, an inbox, a grudge. The almanacs keep new beginnings for other days, which makes this a fine day to let go.

Bhadrā “the gentle, the wholesome”
The mind today
Half the disc again, now in the small hours. The mind turns reflective and a little critical — useful, if pointed at plans rather than at yourself. Review, prune and forgive.
Bhadrā — A steadying day. Routine is medicine today: regular meals, a tidy desk, an early night.
Three things that help
Review the month’s commitments and drop one that no longer serves.
Notice the inner critic; answer it as you would answer a friend.
Ten slow rounds of alternate-nostril breathing (nāḍī-śodhana) at dusk.

Why the Moon, for the mind
कमलजविधातृहरियमशशांकषड्वक्त्रशक्रवसुभुजगाः ।
धर्मेशसवितृमन्मथकलयो विश्वे च तिथिपतयः ॥ ९८.१॥
Brahma (kamalaja), the Creator, Vishnu (hari), Yama, the Moon, Skanda (shadvaktra, "six-faced"), Indra, the Vasus, the serpents; the lord of dharma, Savitri/the Sun, Kama (Manmatha), the Kalas (or Shiva), and the Vishvedevas -- these are the lords of the lunar days.
In the dark fortnight (Kṛṣṇa-pakṣa), the cruel [malefic planets] are strong; in the bright [fortnight] (Śukla-pakṣa), the benefics are endowed with vitality. In the northern course (Uttarāyaṇa), the benefic planets are strong; in the southern course (Dakṣiṇāyana), the others [the malefics are strong].
Readings and suggestions are Horā’s own reflections on these classical meanings — everyday self-care, offered with the tradition’s goodwill. If low mood, anxiety or sleeplessness stays for two weeks or more, please speak with a doctor or a mental-health professional.
