Eclipse Season is Amongst Us!: Co-Creating with the Divine and How this Eclipse Will Impact You
Happy eclipse season, folks!
In this segment we discuss the upcoming solar eclipse in the nakshatra of Chitra.
Chitra is ruled by Mars and associated to the celestial architect. This is an amazing time to embrace creative liberty over our lives, connect with our dharma, and focus on our spiritual practices.
This eclipse marks the end of a 6 month cycle and is preparing us for the wrapping up of an entire 18 month cycle! This is a monumental time of self-reflection, contemplation, and release.
We spend time discussing how this energy may impact us on a personal level, the global climate, and briefly run through how this eclipse will impact each of the 12 zodiac signs.

October Horoscope: Final Eclipse Season of 2023 🚨... Are You Ready to Rumble?
Hi everyone! I can NOT believe that we are already to OCTOBER of 2023!
First, time truly does fly and I hope you all are preparing for a beautiful transition into fall! I love this season and I hope you all have a nice "fall cleaning" and really utilize the time to surrender, release, and let go of what's been weighing on your shoulders.
Second, this is the month that I (personally) have been waiting for all year. If you've had a personal reading with me, I've been discussing this Ketu/Mars combination that will take place! This is a truly hot, fiery, passionate... and also combustible energy that I believe WE ALL should be aware of!
This month is truly one of the more intense months of 2023 and I think it will come with some significant events globally and for many of us in our personal lives.
In this segment we dive into this potent eclipse season and what it may bring for the masses. I anticipate this to be quite a rocky ride and I share the astrological reason as to why I believe this to be.
Eclipses are powerful and intrinsically karmic in nature. Could this be a time of karmic reckoning - for better or for worse?

Full Moon in Uttara Bhadrapada: Endings, Beginnings, and Remembering Who You Are
Hi everyone! Happy Friday!
On this segment we discuss the upcoming full moon that takes place in the sidereal sign of Pisces on September 29, 2023.
This is an outstanding period of time that we are entering and this full moon could certainly provoke some necessary changes or initiation for some of us!
Uttara Bhadrapada is the nakshatra that the full moon will take place in. This asterism is associated with fortune, luck, and being blessed - while also being associated to a funeral cot.
There is so much rich symbolism to explore with this full moon! We take time discussing the astrological influences (some of the most intense of the year...), exploring Vedic references, and philosophizing on the cyclical nature of our material reality.
This full moon is preparing us for one of the more intense transits of the year and falls right after the fall equinox.
This is certainly a reminder for a "fall cleaning", releasing what is no longer essential in life, taking control of what we can, and finding equanimity in what we cant...

Jupiter Retrograde 2023: Horoscopes for All 12 Signs and News Updates
In this segment we discuss the transit of Jupiter retrograde between September 4th - December 30th 2023.
Jupiter is the planet of truth, virtue, moral, and "right and wrong". This planet has so much to do with law! Jupiter is also a planet that is related to wealth, abundance, prosperity, and therefore the economy.
This planet is retrograde in the fiery, impulsive, independent, and mars-ruled sign of Aries.
I see this period as really emphasizing law and order, revisions amongst rules, and overall ethics. I also believe there will be a lot of focus on guns, firearms, and weaponry - due to this being a pretty big theme for the sign of Aries.
There could also be new advancements in health and wellness and perhaps more focus on homeopathy as well.
We can't forget that Jupiter is about leaders and gurus. This could be a period where information is coming out about leaders of all kinds. It's also possible that false gurus are exposed or their moral principles are being called to question. In a positive note, true teachers will feel more inspired to lead, create, and share their knowledge.
Aries is so independent. It's an excellent reminder to tap back into the guru within your heart. We are never taught to trust our self and personal instincts or even our own knowledge! We live in a system where knowledge and intelligence is often outsourced elsewhere. This is a powerful time to practice tapping into your own inner knowing first.
Horoscopes:
Aries: 29:35
Taurus: 30:14
Gemini: 31:06
Cancer: 31:51
Leo: 32:36
Virgo: 33:30
Libra: 34:26
Scorpio: 35:22
Sagittarius: 36:32

Hello everyone! Happy Friday.

This full moon will be in the sidereal sign of Aquarius which is all about futuristic thinking, pioneering ideas, health, science, and communal evolution.
The nakshatra will be Shatabhisha, which is known as the hundred healers.

This is also a star that has an association to "a veil"... if could be a time of truths being revealed for ourselves or the collective.

There is *a lot* going on. So don't be too surprised if you're feeling a little stuck, confused, or in analysis paralysis! One of the best parts about astrology is knowing when certain climates will end... so if you're being retrograde-influenced, just take this time to be easy on don't expect yourself to make perfect, quick decisions!

August Update: Become the Architect of Your Life with Ketu in Chitra
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
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
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?
