August Update: Become the Architect of Your Life with Ketu in Chitra Aug 18, 2023

Show notes

There is currently a LOT of significant movement happening in the night sky. As above, so below! With intensity brewing in the cosmos, it makes sense that we will experience some intensity here on earth as well!

The planet Mars will move into the sign of Virgo from August 18th - October 3rd. This is a big transit for focusing on health, wellness, and longevity. However, this is also a period where we should pay close attention to our own wellness and the wellness of our communities. This is also a time to be extra mindful with water, oil, and gas.

Mercury will retrograde from August 23rd - September 15th. This transit, as usual, could bring challenges to electronics, communication, and travel. But this is also a period to closely watch CEOs, bosses, and those in power. Leo is the kingdom! It's possible leaders will be challenged at this time or even have information shared about them that could come as a surprise.

In addition to Mars and Mercury, we continue our discussion on Venus retrograde and introduce the movement of the karmic nodes of Rahu and Ketu.

New Moon in Ashelsha Nakshatra: Pick Your Poison... Or Your Healing Aug 11, 2023

Show notes

Hello everyone! Welcome to Friday.

In this segment we discuss the upcoming new moon in the mystical sign of Ashlesha naksahtra.

This new moon will stir many deep seated emotions, invoke intense experiences, and offer an opportunity to heal on subtle and karmic levels.

The nakshatra of Ashlesha is associated to tantric, kundalini energy and can offer opportunities to go deep into our spiritual practices - whether they be asana, pranayama, or prayer.

Ashlesha is the "clinging star" and reminds us to assess what in life we should be holding more close to our chest. Similarly, what may we be clinging onto too strongly? Are we suffocating what we want most to thrive?

This nakshatra is also associated to a serpent. Like the venom of a serpent, in some doses it could be medicinal - while in others it could be fatal. Where in life are we needing to walk the middle path?

Be mindful as this moon can also spur feelings of jealousy, control, paranoia, and resentment. It's best to instead lean into the positive qualities of this new moon...

We dive deep into how this period of time may impact us individually and also as a collective.

August Horoscope: Brace Yourself for Intensity Aug 04, 2023

Show notes

Hello everyone! Welcome to Friday!

In this segment we discuss the month of August 2023.

This month is, arguably, one of the most intense and heated months of the year! Literally and metaphorically!

With multiple planets retrograde and multiple planets in gandanta degrees - we can surely anticipate some drama around the world! Miscommunication, issues from the past, criticism and judgement will certainly be afoot in regards to leaders of all kinds!

With Mars entering the sign of Virgo, this is a time where health and wellness will become a focal point... This is the time to take impeccable care of your vitality and physical body.

It is helpful to remember that times of intensity can be approached as running in sand for our spiritual progress... This is a training period!

It's of utmost importance to be mindful with communication, connection, and karmic matters surfacing to heal and release.

This month will likely kick off intensity that will follow into the months ahead.

We know that the year of 2024 will likely change everything for the United States and the WORLD! But how are events now lining up for such change to occur?

Full Moon in Shravana Nakshatra: Clear Your Eye of Inner Awareness Jul 28, 2023

Show notes

Hello everyone! Welcome back to AstrologyNow! As always, we are so grateful to have you!

On this segment we discuss the beautiful full moon in Shravana nakshatra that will reign us in for the month of August.

Shravana is all about "hearing the unheard" and tapping into the sides of life that go unseen.

When we think about it, some of the most compelling parts of life are intangible: faith, joy, Spirit, trust, love...

How can we connect with these intangible, yet highly inspirational, facets of our lives with more clarity and authenticity?

What may be clouding the eye of our inner awareness and keeping us from fully enjoying our life as it currently is?

In this podcast we continue this discussion and explore what this full moon may elicit on a global and personal level.

I hope that you enjoy it!

Venus Retrograde: Navigating Relational Road Bumps Jul 21, 2023

Show notes

Hello everyone! Happy Day of Venus! 💫

Today we discuss the upcoming transit of Venus retrograde.

What happens when the planet of love moves backwards?!

Venus is the planet of love, romance, and relationship. When this planet turns retrograde - it is a time to reflect, review, and reassess all things love!

Venus retrograde always offers a profound time of potential healing and release... particularly in regards to matters of the heart.

This period is also notorious for bringing exes back into the picture, people emerging from the past, past life connections being discovered, or stirring old and latent wounds.

How can we use this time to advance spiritually, emotionally, and karmically?

Listen to the full segment to hear this forecast and contemplations!

New Moon in Punarvasu: Life Can Change Whenever We Decide Jul 14, 2023

Show notes

Hello everyone!

The new moon is amongst us and we are fortunate to have a lovely beacon on the horizon!

Though the energy of July can still be intense for many, we are being offered a moment to pause, reflect, and generate a sense of renewal in ourselves and for the world around us.

This new moon will be in the asterism of Punarvasu within the sidereal sign of Cancer.

Punarvasu is steeped in regenerative energy and reminds us to reflect on the cycles and patterns that are upholding our daily lives.

This nakshatra is associated to Aditi, the divine mother, who offers abundance, prosperity, and fortune - and also has a connotation to the cyclical nature of our reality.

Nothing is ever meant to stay the same. Change is inevitable. But just as change is inevitable, the promise of renewal and regrowth is imminent. It is always just a matter of time...

In this segment we dive deeper into the significance of Punarvasu as an asterism as well as what to be mindful of moving further into the month of July.

July Horoscope: Courageous Ambition, Exes from the Past, and Rising Tensions Jul 07, 2023

Show notes

Happy Friday, everyone!

July is *quite the eventful month*. I believe this month will be influential in how the rest of the year shapes up! So certainly pay attention!

If you've been listening to AstrologyNow, we have been discussing the first Pluto return of the United States and what that could look like. The exact return will occur in the fall of 2024. (Interesting.)

Pluto is the planet of death and rebirth.

Capricorn is the sign of government structures, economy, and currency.

It's been incredibly fascinating to observe as these talking points become more and more prominent with the rise of cryptocurrency and the push to digitize wealth!

In terms of government, as individuals wake up the injustices of the system, more and more people are demanding a change.

All of that to say, if we KNOW big change is on the horizon - how will events unfold to lead to this massive transit occurring in 2024?

In this segment we also discuss the transit of Mars in Leo, which will increase ones ability to be courageous in their personal affairs and support us in bold action.

Venus will also retrograde, and is notorious for bringing exes back from the past, past life companions, or relationship patterns to reassess.

This is just the tip of the iceberg for July - listen to the full segment for more!

Guru Purnima: Full Moon and the Path of Dharma + Unbinding Karmic Knots Jun 30, 2023

Show notes

Happy Friday! And happy full moon as we discuss one of the BEST days of the year... in my humble opinion, of course!

This full moon in the sidereal sign of Sagittarius marks the very special day of Guru Purnima. This is the day of honoring our teachers, mentors, guides, or anyone in life who has acted as an inspiration.

Remember that "guru" translates to "dispeller of ignorance". A guru can be anyone who has supported us in bringing light to darkness within our consciousness...

It is a day to humbly remind ourselves of the grace received in life and how precious the gift of knowledge truly is.

We spend time discussing the light of the full moon as well as the upcoming gandanta transits.

Gandanta refers to "drowning" or a "spiritual knot". As planets pass through gandanta degrees, knots of karma can seem to unravel in our lives and in the world around.

This is a profound time of releasing ourselves from patterns that have kept us bound in the past.

Saturn Retrograde: For the Collective and All 12 Signs Jun 23, 2023

Show notes

Hello everyone! Welcome to another Friday or day of Venus!

Today we discuss the transit of Saturn and what to expect during this period of Saturn retrograde.

Saturn is the planet of karmic retribution, delays, challenges, responsibility, burdens, and restrictions. However, Saturn is also the planet that rewards hard work, represents instilled wisdom, creates structure and safety, and provides us with longevity. Saturn really isn't all bad!... But we should always be a little cautious when assessing the Great Malefic!

Saturn in Aquarius will bring focus and emphasis to humanitarian pursuits and righting wrongs of the past. Aquarius will also bring a focus to health and wellness, space exploration, and general focus on all things "futuristic". As Saturn retrogrades, the energy of Saturn intensifies. That said, we may see even more powerful groups coming together, new and futuristic innovations, and perhaps even some new technology with health and vitality. In this segment we discuss what else to watch out for collectively.

On a personal level, it's an opportunity to reflect on limitations, boundaries, or challenges we have been facing in life. Are the limitations we are experiencing truly external? Or are they in our perception of the world? We spend time philosophizing on what SaturnRX could mean personally AND what it means for each of the 12 signs.

New Moon in Mrigashira on June 17th: Chasing the Impulse of the Heart and Creative Desire Jun 16, 2023

Show notes

Happy Friday, everyone!

This week we have a very special new moon in the sidereal sign of Gemini, Mrigashira nakshatra, on June 17, 2023.

Mrigashira is symbolized by the head of a deer, ruled by the planet Mars, and associated to Soma and the deity of Brahma.

Soma represents the bliss within us while Brahma is literally the god of creation. This nakshatra is very much associated to following bliss, seeking happiness, and chasing fulfillment of the heart. The Mars influence makes this nakshatra extremely passion driven while the influence of Brahma stirs a deep and intrinsic creative impulse.

All of that to say, this new moon is particularly potent for touching the center of the heart and connecting with your true and deep desires. The creative potential is so supportive for intention setting or practices of manifestation.

However, the energy of the deer can make this a time of feeling scattered, distracted, or timid. Be mindful to stay grounded and regulated without making any decisions that are too quick or impulsive...

We discuss this new moon in length and also review other astrological on-goings.
