In this segment we discuss the upcoming transit of Venus in Pisces. Venus will be exalted in Pisces from January 27th - May 31st. This is an extended period of time, given that Venus usually stays in a sign for about one month. This is a year where Venus goes retrograde, making it a karmic time for love, relationships, art, and creativity. We spend time discussing the influence of Neptune and Rahu and how this may impact Venus in a positive and negative way.

In this segment we explore the asterism of Bharani. Bharani translates into something like "the bearer" and has the deity of Yama. Though Bharani is in the youthful, spry, energized sign of Aries, we will come to find that this asterism carries an incredible amount of depth and weight. Bharani has access to the other side... as Yama is the god of death and rebirth. This asterism is extremely mystical, magical, and has no hesitation when diving into the darker qualities of life.

Hi everyone! In this segment we explore the transit of Mars into sidereal Gemini. We discuss the implications it may have on social media as well as the inauguration. We also discuss the recent full moon, Venus conjunct Saturn, and this Neptune/Rahu combination. I hope it serves you well.

Hi everyone! Happy new series! New Year... New Nakshatra Series! I've been wanting to do this for a while simply for the fun of it. I love sharing about the Nakshatras and my personal observations. I do hope you enjoy and find it helpful and supportive. Today we cover the first Nakshatra, which is Ashwini. Ashwini spans from 0 degrees to 13 degrees and 20 minutes. This asterism contains the energy of both Mars and Ketu, giving it such a fun, energetic, pioneering, and adventurous quality. Don't be fooled - though Ashwini is very much associated to explorers, rock climbers, and adventure, I've met many Ashwini who choose to explore the spirit or psychological realm instead. They are incredible healers, counselors, and guides and always know when a good laugh is necessary. Listen to the full segment for more!

Hi everyone! HAPPY NEW YEAR ! 🥳 🎊 I hope you all have had an amazing time reflecting and processing your 2024 and preparing for a fresh new start ahead... This year is going to bring such an incredible shift of collective energy. The social planets of Jupiter and Saturn, the planets responsible for economy/current affairs/culture, will shift within months of each other. Rahu and Ketu, the karmic nodes of the moon, will also shift after their 18 month cycle. If you've been hoping for paramount change - this could be your year! On this segment, we discuss the main transits of 2025. These transits include, but are not limited to: Saturn in Pisces: March 29, 2025 - February 23, 2028 Rahu in Aquarius and Ketu in Leo: May 29, 2025 - November 25, 2026 Jupiter in Gemini: May 14, 2025 - October 18, 2025 & December 4, 2025 - June 1, 2026 Jupiter in Cancer: October 18, 2025 - December 4, 2025 Uranus in Taurus: March 19, 2025 - July 6, 2031 (I accidentally said June) Eclipses: March 13/14: Total Lunar Eclipse in Leo in Uttara Phalguni (Blood Moon) March 29: Solar Eclipse 14 degrees of Pisces in Uttara Bhadrapada. (Mercury and Venus are retrograde in Pisces) September 7: Lunar Eclipse at 21 degrees of Aquarius in Purva Bhadrapada September 21: Solar eclipse at 4 degrees of Virgo in Uttara Phalguni. Saturn will oppose to the degree. I hope that you find this supportive on your journey!

Hi everyone! I am so thrilled to share this episode with you all... I feel very enthusiastic and optimistic about this upcoming new moon, and I hope the special Jovian energy is shared through the ether. This new moon is the 2nd new moon of December 2024, making it the Black Moon. The new moon is a time of setting intentions, goals, and aspirations. This new moon occurring right before SUCH a cataclysmic year of 2025 feels particularly potent and powerful for me... make sure and do your New Years Resolutions early! We discuss the astrological significance, Sagittarius, Purva Ashadha, and other astrological on-goings. Happy New Year!

Hi everyone! In a recent segment, I asked if you all were interested in hearing more about the conjunction of Rahu and Neptune. Many people responded with YES - so I hope you find this as fascinating as I did! We spent time exploring the meaning of a conjunction, Rahu, Neptune, and what has happened historically when these two planets meet in the night sky. Perhaps the most astounding was that the book "Age of Intelligent Machines", on artificial intelligence and predicting the popularity of the internet, was published in 1992... years before we see the rise of such technology... yet again while Neptune and Rahu are conjunct! ** Also correction. When mentioned TWILIGHT - the movies were released during this time frame. The books were before. Hear more about interesting consistencies here.

In this segment we discuss the final full moon of 2024, taking place in the sidereal sign of Taurus. Taurus is ruled by Venus and associated to the senses. Taurus is a fixed energy that represents steadfastness, patience, creativity, and luxury. When the moon is in Taurus, it is technically exalted, though it's point of exaltation is really in the earlier degrees of Taurus. The beneficial quality is still present, and the conjunction of Jupiter really amplifies it's auspicious qualities. Jupiter is adding a grace and optimism to this full moon. We explore other astrological on-goings such as Rahu/Neptune conjunction, Mercury going direct, and the Sun moving from Scorpio to Sagittarius.
