Full Moon in Sidereal Virgo: Hanuman Jayanti and Aligning with Integrity Mar 31, 2023

Show notes

Hello everyone! Happy Friday!

I am so grateful to be typing this from the stunning mountains of New Mexico!

This week we spend time discussing the upcoming energy of the full moon and ways to channel the energy effectively. This is our last full moon before the upcoming eclipse! Notice how energy begins to shift and change.

The full moon in Virgo marks the holiday of Hanuman Jayanti. Hanuman is the son of Vayu, the god of the wind. He is a major player in the Ramayana and represents bhakti and devotion. This is a beautiful time to focus on integrity, devotion, service, and strength. We spend time particularly focusing on aligning with integrity and creating a life of meaning and ease.

It is important to note that the actual birthday of Hanuman is when the moon is in Chitra nakshatra, but for the exact time of the full moon (at least for the US), we are considering Hasta.

The Atmakaraka in Vedic Astrology: Understanding What Signifies Your Souls Path Mar 24, 2023

Show notes

Happy Firday!

Today we discuss the atmakaraka in Vedic astrology and what it can represent in your birth chart.

"Atma" means "soul" and "karaka" means "significator". This means that the atmakaraka is literally indicative of the soul and what this lifetime is meant to teach, instill, and inspire.

Each atmakaraka comes with a series of gifts and skills, but also lessons and karmic themes.

In this segment we dive into the meaning of the atmakaraka, how to find it in your birth chart, and spend time exploring what each planet could represent in a birth chart.

Sade Sati and Saturn Return: Exploring the Personal Cycles of Saturn Mar 10, 2023

Show notes

Hello everyone!

In this segment we explore two of the major cycles of Saturn.

Saturn is the planet of weight, heaviness, restriction, delay, hard work, commitment, cruelty, and karmic retribution.

Saturn is also the slowest moving of the, traditionally used, planets and therefore packs quite the punch with his movement. It's no wonder that ancient seers developed tools to track his movement and predict how these transits could impact us!

Both Saturn return and Sade Sati are quite notorious in the Vedic astrology world.

Saturn return marks a period of time when Saturn completes a full cycle around our birth chart to return to its original point from when we were born. This event usually occurs around the ages of 28-30, and again around 58-60.

Sade Sati is a 7.5 year cycle where Saturn is transiting the sign before, the sign of, and the sign after the moon. That said, it is important to know where your moon is placed in the Vedic system so that you may track this movement accurately.

Learn more about these two major cycles in this podcast!

Interview with James Braha: Part One of Pluto Through the Houses Feb 24, 2023

Show notes

Hello everyone! Welcome to another Friday interview!

In this segment we interview one of my personal favorites, James Braha.

James is an amazing teacher, astrologer, author, and guide. I was fortunate enough to meet James at the Sedona Vedic Astrology Conference, and I've been hooked ever since!

Today we discuss the planet of Pluto and how Pluto can operate when placed in various houses in a birth chart.

Pluto is a planet of intensity and represents death and rebirth. Depending on where Pluto is located in our birth charts, it will yield various results. James and I explore how Pluto may operate when placed throughout the 12 houses, giving an example for each possible placement.

It's important to remember that the chart should always be read holistically - but this podcast should still leave you with a lot to contemplate and explore for yourself.

New Moon Forecast in Aquarius: Deepening Perceptivity, Mahashivratri, and Underdog Uprisings Feb 17, 2023

Show notes

Happy Friday!

In this segment we discuss the upcoming new moon energy in the sidereal sign of Shatabhishak.

Aquarius is an eccentric sign that is quite futuristic in nature and has a particular disdain for cultural norms and regulations. The nakshatra of Shatabhishak, held within Aquarius, truly exudes these qualities to a heightened extend.

Shatabhishak has an association to the underdogs of society, the outcasts, or those who have been "cancelled". However, this asterism is also associated to healing, medicine, psychic awareness, and deep perceptivity.

This new moon may bring some interesting news to the surface that could result in deeper perceptivity and heightened awareness. Though, we should also be mindful of images being challenged or information being unintentionally shared. We may also see people coming together to share dissatisfaction with the powers that be.

In this segment we also explore other important astrological on goings and what we can expect for the rest of the month, globally and personally.

February 2023 Horoscope: Radical Responsibility, Creative Sparks, and Rose Colored Glasses Feb 03, 2023

Show notes

Hello everyone!

In this segment we explore the month of February.

We will see a full moon in Ashlesha nakshatra, new moon in Shatabhishak, Mercury and Sun in Aquarius, and an exalted Venus in Pisces.

On a global level, this month can still bring about some intensity for world leaders, change makers, and the economy.

Mercury in Capricorn is certainly creating a more serious energy around wealth, finances, and stability. We can expect this to be a theme for the month with a focus on finding solutions and strategy.

Venus entering Pisces is a beautiful placement. This placement reminds us to tune into the heart and tap into an endless and unconditional love... We just have to be extra mindful of rose colored glasses and the tendency to fantasize!

Learn more about the movement of the planets in this full segment!
