Faith Over Fear: Navigating the Knowledge of the Cosmos While Staying Sane
Hi everyone!Today I address questions that I get OFTEN about navigating the fear and anxiety that can come with knowledge of astrology.While astrology offers patterns, insights, and cosmic cycles, true peace comes from surrendering to the wisdom of the Universe itself. We reflect on how leaning into faith can calm fear, open the heart, and attune us to a supported path - even if we can't see it clearly in the moment. This conversation is an invitation to release control and identity. It is to support you in remembering that astrology is a tool - and to walk with courage knowing that the universe holds us, guides us, and conspires for us.YOUTUBE:D9 exploration:https://youtu.be/HTgYcjltyasCharacteristics of Your Spouse:https://youtu.be/i_cOvdSbjy0Soulmate Astrologyhttps://youtu.be/ExnDysvjzUwChristine:website: innerknowing.yogainstagram: astrologynow_podcastpatreon: patreon.com/astrologynowpodcast keywords: astrology, jyotish, Vedic astrology, sidereal astrology, nakshatras, spirituality, Christine Rodriguez, aries, libra, scorpio, libra, capricorn, Nakshatra, new moon, taurus, Venus, Jupiter, Pisces, Spirituality, horoscope, retrograde, eclipse, solar eclipse, new moon, lunar eclipse

August Horoscope: Dharma Need Not Be Perfect
Hello everyone! This week, we will look at the month of August.Bhagavad Gita 18.47: It is better to do one’s own dharma, even though imperfectly, than to do another’s dharma, even though perfectly. Perhaps the most influential transits of the month are Venus in Gemini, Mars oppose Saturn, and the Sun entering its own sign of Leo... Mars in Virgo will bring in a grounding energy and will shift our focus to health, daily rituals, and practical service - on a personal and global level. It’s a powerful time for healing the body, mind, and spirit. It is also powerful for clearing clutter and refining what’s not working.It is a beautiful time to offer service to others by offering time, energy, or resources to what we care about. There will be a global call to action concerning humanitarian efforts and addressing humanitarian crises. Mars and Saturn sit in opposition, bringing tension between discipline and action, restriction and willpower. This can cause a "stop-go" energy. We may struggle in knowing how to direct our energy or how to use our energy wisely. It's possible we experience limitations internally or externally. In this podcast, we discuss practical ways to move through this period with grace and strategy.Venus in Gemini adds a playful, intellectual essence to our relationships, highlighting the beauty of platonic love. We explore how spiritually enriching our soul-deep friendships can be.On a collective level, issues related to water, flooding, or natural disasters may continue to be prominent. We’re reminded of nature’s force and the need to care for both the planet and our own internal tides.YOUTUBE:D9 exploration:https://youtu.be/HTgYcjltyasCharacteristics of Your Spouse:https://youtu.be/i_cOvdSbjy0Soulmate Astrologyhttps://youtu.be/ExnDysvjzUwChristine:website: innerknowing.yogainstagram: astrologynow_podcastpatreon: patreon.com/astrologynowpodcast keywords: astrology, jyotish, Vedic astrology, sidereal astrology, nakshatras, spirituality, Christine Rodriguez, aries, libra, scorpio, libra, capricorn, Nakshatra, new moon, taurus, Venus, Jupiter, Pisces, Spirituality, horoscope, retrograde, eclipse, solar eclipse, new moon, lunar eclipse
