Full Moon Forecast January 28, 2021 in Pushya Nakshatra: Nourishing Yourself with Trust and Surrender
There is a stellium building within the sign of Capricorn - asking us to take control, push through, and dedicate our blood, sweat, and tears to what we desire. The upcoming moon in Cancer is a reminder to slow down, make time for nourishment, and reconsider our "hard lines" and judgments that we may place on others. In this segment we discuss our human desire to take control and move our lives in a specific direction, and how to find balance with Universal forces and find trust that perhaps unexpected events may be in support of our higher growth.
I hope that you find this segment helpful and that you may release any emotional burdens with the power of this full moon.

Saturn Conjunctions in Vedic Astrology with Ryan Kurczak
Saturn is notorious for being "The Great Malefic". Saturn will generally require hard work, commitment, and responsibility from an individual in various areas of their lives (which is not as fun as the blessings bestowed by other, more gentle, planets!). Depending on the house that Saturn is in, and the planets he sits with, and the sign he resides in - Saturn will produce different results for all individuals.
In this segment Ryan Kurczak discusses the influences of Saturn, what may occur when Saturn is conjoined with other planets, and most importantly - how understanding that energy may assist us in navigating our challenges with more grace.
I hope you find it helpful!

How Studying Vedic Astrology is Helpful + The Human Ego is Just a Playground
Vedic astrology can be profoundly healing. This practice is capable of giving validation, insight, language, and names to various aspects of ourselves that may enable us to adjust our short comings, embrace our strengths, and bring a deeper understanding to various parts of our mind, personality qualities, body, family, partners, and self.
In this segment I discuss why I believe Vedic Astrology to be helpful in this life - in a practical and spiritual sense. I discuss my perspective of the Vedic birth chart as being a blue print of our karma - an indicator as to what we are meant to experience, heal, and confront in this life. A Vedic reading can be profoundly helpful in cultivating awareness and giving language to various aspects of ourselves. This awareness can assist in giving us deeper direction in where we should be directing our focus in order to grow and evolve to our greatest capacity.
However, I also discuss how identifying with a Vedic chart, Human Design, Enneagram, Myers Briggs Personality, etc. may actually be counter productive to true, deep self-realization. Can this over identification create more separation as we overly attach to the ego, instead of bringing us closer to the understanding that we are all cut from the same cosmic cloth?

Wealth and Power in Vedic Astrology: Part One
In this segment we take time to consider different configurations in a chart that can indicate wealth and power. I use the charts of Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos to demonstrate a few of the configurations discussed in this podcast!
I recently got the request to discuss wealth, fame, power, and influence in Vedic astrology. I decided that there are so many different components to consider, that I will break it down into multiple segments. I hope that you look forward to more in the upcoming weeks! That being said, if you DO NOT have any of the indicators discussed in this show, it does not mean that you will never acquire wealth. Keep listening to future segments to learn more ways to detect wealth and power!

New Moon Forecast: The First New Moon of 2021 in Uttara Ashadha - Make Yourself Unconquerable
In this segment we discuss the upcoming new moon in the sign of Sagittarius. Sagittarius is our belief systems, personal philosophy, and our ethics and virtues. We will see these areas of life take precedence as those around us become more vocal about their beliefs and what they believe to be True. Sagittarius is known for being quite radical or potentially dogmatic - so beware of people acting out in radical or unpredictable ways.
Getting more specific, the new moon will be in the nakshatra of Uttara Ashadha - or the "latter invincible one". This nakshatra is known for their ethical ways, attachment to virtue, and their inner fortitude. This period is a fantastic time to align yourself with your personal power and live life in a way that is in alignment with what you hold to be True. With the chaos of the outer world, it can be challenging to stay in tune and connected. In this podcast, I discuss strategies for staying connected to your own Truth and resist the urge to give in to the illusion that the outer world has control.
We also discuss other astrological ongoings and continue the conversation on great shift, sudden and unexpected events, and change in our government and governmental structure.

Gemstones and Vedic Astrology: Which Stone Should I Choose?
Gemstones seem to be omnipresent in the astrology world! But choosing one that is helpful and supportive to your birth chart can be hard work!
It is always helpful to consult with an astrologer when choosing a gemstone for you. However, in this segment I discuss helpful tips and tricks to use when assessing your chart and deciding which stone would be more or less auspicious. We discuss which stones are associated to each planet and which stone is more or less auspicious for each rising sign.
Be sure you're looking at your VEDIC birth chart. This will not be correct for Western astrology. You can calculate your birth chart here:

Welcome to the Year 2021! Intention Setting Ceremony: Breaking Patterns and Creating the Life you Deserve
Hello everyone! Welcome to year 2021! I feel so much humility and gratitude to the AstrologyNow listeners who are joining me for another turn around the Sun.
In this segment I share one of my very favorite intention setting ceremonies that I use in my personal life everyday. We go through a step by step intention setting process that includes intention, affirmation, and rituals - that will act as fuel for creating intentional living. In order to create change, we must commit to repetitive action... this will involve our unique affirmations and rituals! I also share some insight into patterns, Maya - or illusion imposed on us from the outer world and how to break free of these forces.
If we can manage to stay true to ourselves and truly take ownership of our lives through intentional living, we are absolutely capable of creating the life that we want and life that we deserve. I hope this segment serves you well.
Happy New Year and so, so much Cosmic love to you.

Vedic Astrology and Chakras - We Carry A Solar System in Our Physical Body
Did you know that each planet is associated to a different chakra? In our bodes we contain energetic wheels, or chakras, that are responsible for different aspects of our experience and expression. Many of you may have heard of "chakra balancing" or how one may go about "balancing their chakras". Well, using Vedic Astrology we can gain more insight into which chakras may be more or less powerful, more or less in alignment, and using the power of yoga, mudra, or mantra - we may also help bring ourselves back to balance. Learn more in this segment!

Full Moon Forecast: Final Full Moon of 2020, Letting Go, Building Resiliency, and Mars Predictions for Each Sign
In this segment we discuss the upcoming full moon of 2020 that will take place December 29, 2020 in the nakshatra of Ardra.
As many of you may recall, Ardra was one of the two nakshatras responsible for the chaos in 2020. It is symbolic and suiting that our final full moon occurs here! The full moon is a period of release and letting go. Ardra is about demolition, but also resiliency and survival. In this segment we discuss ways to build and sustain resiliency, and also how to notice if we are sabotaging resiliency within our lives.
At the end of the segment I give predictions for each of the 12 zodiac signs in regards to Mars transit in Aries. I hope you find this helpful.
