Mars Retrograde: The Implications of Mars Retrograde + Assessment Through the Signs Aug 01, 2020

Show notes

In this segment we discuss the upcoming transit of Mars, Mars retrograde, and how we might best prepare for this heated and erratic energy.

When Mars is functioning well, it is directed with it's aggression, passionate, ambitious, and motivated. When it is retrograde - it tends to loose focus, becoming violent, and become unsure of when or when not to engage in conflict.

It seems that the majority of conflict occurs online these days. Do your best to avoid fueling unnecessary fires and choosing your battles wisely. Exhaustion, frustration, fear, and anxiety are going to be amplified. With knowledge of cosmic forces, we may do our best to harmonize in advance.

The dates of Mars transit:

August 16th - Mars in Aries

Sept 10th - Mars Retrograde

October 3rd - Mars in Pisces

Nov 13th - Mars Direct

Dec 23 - Mars in Aries

Keep in mind - if you have planets in your natal birth chart in the early degrees of Aries or late degrees of Pisces, particularly tread with caution.

New Moon in Pushya: July 20, 2020 Jul 18, 2020

Show notes

This new moon will take place in the sign of Cancer, more specifically, Pushya nakshatra. Pushya represents giving generously without prejudice or discrimination. But in order to really learn to give, nurture, and nourish others - it is always best to learn how to nourish ourselves first. This new moon is asking us to serve one another, as well as give generously to ourselves.

The strong aspect of Saturn gives the moon an anxious or insecure nature. Be gentle with yourself and those around you.

Pranayama: The Fourth Limb of Yoga and How to Breath During COVID-19. Jul 11, 2020

Show notes

Yoga, Kundalini, Pranayama, Meditation, and Astrology are all interconnected. By breathing we can connect with and balance not only planetary energy - but our nervous system, our emotional state, and our mental state. Therefore - the breath is powerful stuff! "Prana" is life force energy. We connect with Prana with our breath - hence, prana-yama.

Unfortunately, it is not uncommon to simply forget to breath. In fact, sometimes it's an automatic response to stress. We may hold our breath throughout the day in response to pressure or anxiety - all the while sending survival cues to our body, making us feel even more uneasy (and we may not even be aware of it!). By making awareness of the breath a daily practice, we become more and more in sync with our breathing and can do our best to soothe our bodies throughout the day with deep, full, consistent breath.

It's been a LONG time since I have continued this series, and I am honored to bring on my friend and teacher Ana Pilar Cruz. We discuss the meaning of pranayama, the significance of the breath, giggle a little bit, and Ana teaches the pranayama practice of Anuloma Viloma.

How May the July 4/5th Eclipse Impact You? - Predictions Through All Twelve Signs Jul 04, 2020

Show notes

In this segment I discuss what may occur or come to light through all 12 zodiac signs. Keep in mind - I follow the Sidereal system of astrology.

Eclipses tend to bring things to the surface around the timing of the event... however, the day OF may feel confusing or fragmented. We are seeing in the news so many things coming to the surface. Ghislaine Maxwell has been arrested and Nahko (from Nahko and Medicine for the People) has been accused of sexual assault. Eclipse season is full of surprises. See how this transit may impact you.

Lunar Eclipse July 4/5, 2020: Separating the Real from the Unreal Jun 28, 2020

Show notes

In this segment we discuss the upcoming lunar eclipse in the sign of Sagittarius. On this day, the Moon will fall right between Jupiter and Ketu. Jupiter is our gurus. Our teachers, our beliefs, and what WE find to be true. Jupiterian beliefs can be quite personal, become radicalized, and can even be divisive at times. Ketu separates the Real from the unreal. Ketu represents the capacity to go beyond our human consciousness and connect to what is objectively True in this life. Now is the time to reflect on your beliefs, your teachers, and these shape your perception of the world.

The Upanishads translation was by Eknath Easwaran.

Solstice, Solar Eclipse, and Five Retrogrades Jun 19, 2020

Show notes

In this segment I discuss suggestions on how to best navigate the upcoming energy. From June 18th until June 25th, we will have five planets retrograde, spurring difficulties in moving forward, miscommunication, and all around annoyances. However, with the upcoming solstice, the Universal forces offer us the opportunity to connect, share, and celebrate connectivity. It's an excellent time to be mindful of communication, create space for the experience of others, be aware of what may be illuminated for you during the eclipse, setting intentions, and story telling.

Retrograde Planets: The Impact of Retrograde Planets by Transit and in Your Natal Birth Chart May 29, 2020

Show notes

I've gotten a lot of questions recently about retrograde planets and how they may impact us in transit OR if we are born with them in our birth charts. In this segment I discuss the significance of retrograde, how often planets retrograde, what they are asking us by transit, and how they may impact you if you were born with a planet retrograde.

"Vakri" means "twisted". When a planet moves into it's retrograde position, it becomes more POWERFUL and also will give "twisted" results. Whatever planet is retrograde, it will generally in some way "warp" how we relate to the qualities of that planet. How do these planets impact YOU? Let me know through email or DM on instagram!
