Sade Sati and Saturn Return: Exploring the Personal Cycles of Saturn
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
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
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
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!

New Moon in Uttara Ashadha: Failure is Only Created by Perception
Hello everyone! Happy new moon in the sidereal Capricorn!
Capricorn is the sign of the government, finances, and economy. Globally, this new moon may bring more a focus, changes, or shifts in regards to these areas of life! The Sun represents leaders of all kinds. Being in the Saturn-Ruled-Sign of Capricorn, as well as it's current position in the sky, leaders may also be under some pressure!
On a personal level, for the past 2.5 - 3 years, there has been a huge focus on the sign of Capricorn in our personal lives as Saturn sat heavy in this sign. This new moon offers us an opportunity to reflect on themes, changes, wins, or challenges for the past few years and integrate any of the major lessons learned during this period of time.
Uttara Ashadha literally relates to being "victorious" or "undefeatable". The god associated with Uttara Ashadha is Lord Ganesh, the remover of obstacles. In this segment, we take some time philosophizing on success, defeat, and how the shift in perception could change what obstacles mean to us.

Hello everyone! Welcome to another Friday.
Today we discuss the upcoming full moon in the sidereal nakshatra of Punarvasu.

In this segment we discuss this moon in depth and discuss a method of manifestation that was generously taught to me.
We also discuss the MAJOR shift that will occur January 17th! This cycle will have a profound impact on our world as well as in our personal lives. We can anticipate our culture, climate, and governments to really begin shifting and changing.
