Jupiter Retrograde For All Signs (Sep - Dec)
As we enter September 2023, I’ve heard from so many people going through challenging times lately. In August, I focused on doing some deep emotional work and have found it greatly healing. The month began and end with a Full Moon and also the news of two losses in my personal life. A childhood friend, and an uncle who helped raise me, as I didn’t grow up with a father. These have both lead to more emotional connection among family and friends, and it has been a beautiful reminder to appreciate life and the people in our lives while we’re here.
I began studying astrology in my youth because it was fascinating to think that there is some greater purpose or meaning to life. I have always been interested in what makes people tick, what motivates them, what inspires them, what they feel called to do. It has been beautiful to talk with friends and family about how each of these people who recently passed lived such authentic, honest lives. They were passionate about the things they valued and left a lasting impression on the people close to them. They had their ups and downs, as we all do, but they were true to themselves. I’m grateful to have known them and learned from them.
I’m grateful that we all get to be alive exploring this question of how we can live more in alignment, more authentic to ourselves, more in service to others. These questions are endlessly inspiring and fascinating to me. I hope that by sharing these horoscopes and podcasts that you gain some insight into yourself, your gifts, your ups and downs, and how you can better serve others. I feel honored and grateful every day that I get to do this work.

September 2023: Clear The Way For Eclipse Season
We’re in the final week of August 2023, working through some of the most deeply transformational transits of the year. This is all paving the way for a completely new chapter coming in October 2023, but the deep work to get there is happening now and throughout September.
With 6 planets retrograde now and all throughout September, this is the best time of 2023 for all the “re” activities.
Review
Reflect
Revisit
Revise
Rest
Recover
Re-do
It’s not the best time for starting totally new things. You’ll likely have to re-do them and have unforeseen issues to address. You can do it, but expect delays and setbacks. This improves greatly after Sep 15th, especially if it involves continuing along a path you’ve been on for a while, including Astrology. This is why on Sep 16th I’ll be hosting a special event to help you learn astrology and how to read your chart. Click here to join the Mentorship waitlist and learn more!
Until Sep 15th:
Return to old music, movies, art, friends, activities, places, hobbies, interests that you love.
Clean out your computer, phone, closets, drawers, and anywhere else things have piled up.
Essentially, defragment your life! This is creating a lot of spaciousness for the big turning point coming in October.
I created a free, powerful monthly review process you can do to prepare for September: Click here to get the free Monthly Review process.

Major Breakthroughs: Mercury Retrograde for All Signs (Aug - Sep)
This is one of my favorite transits!
In addition to Saturn, Venus, Neptune and Pluto all being retrograde, now Mercury joins the party.
This is one of the best times of the year for slowing down, reflecting and doing regular meditation practice. Check out the free Quietmind Yoga podcast for guided meditations.
Last week I attended a beautiful retreat in Mexico where the message to me was very clearly about slowing down. Even on my first day, I drove the road I normally take to town, but for the first time ever there was a major traffic jam. This never happens in this small village, but there I was behind dozens of cars, trucks and motorcycles, having to slow down. Thankfully, I left very early, so I was still early to class. This was the first of many experiences like this where the message was clearly to slow down. We did mindful eating practices, long meditations, long eye gazing, and time in noble silence each day. These all happen to be great practices to do during all this retrograde energy, and it felt like exactly where I needed to be.
You can find these qualities in anything you do, anywhere you go. You can pause before beginning a meal. Take a moment to smell the food. Take a moment to pause before getting on your devices and set an intention for your time.
I actually love these retrograde times because they give us a chance to practice svadyaya - self reflection - which is part of the 8 limbs of yoga. I grew up in poverty with no resources and have been fortunate to create a life I love, and I can attribute most of that growth to the practice of self reflection and self study, and now is one of the best times of 2023 for that kind of work.
Listen to the new Quietmind Astrology Podcast for interpretations for each sign. Listen for your rising AND moon sign - from Vedic only. This does not apply to Western/Tropical astrology.
Wed, Aug 23 - Mercury Retrograde (21 Days)

Untying the Karmic Knots of the Heart
I just finished an incredible 3-day retreat about relationships, love and tantra yoga. It was beautiful, heart opening and healing on a deep level. This is a great time of the year to address matters of relationships and love with all the Aslesha nakshatra energy so present right now, so I highly recommend exploring this kind of work.
One practice we did that you could do yourself this week is the simple yet profound Hawaiian practice of hoʻoponopono, which can be translated as "to make right," "to make good," or “to revise, adjust, amend, or rectify” which is the perfect kind of work to be doing with the transits right now.
This can be as simple as choosing someone you would like to make amends with and journaling about how you would communicate these four phrases: "I love you. I'm sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you." The person could be anyone in your life, including yourself, or the universe (or god) itself. The important thing is to take the time to feel the truth of each statement. This is even more powerful when done with a partner or someone close to you, but if that’s not an option, you can journal about it.
We’re deep into the Venus Retrograde I’ve talked a lot about in recent podcasts. People have been asking about what makes this one so intense. Here are some important factors beyond it just being Venus Retrograde:
5 Recent Gandanta Transits: Gandanta means a karmic ‘knot’ that is loosened when planets transit from water signs to fire signs, ending a cycle of the four elements. It’s a time when you discover where you are ‘all knotted up’ and get an opportunity to unbind yourself. This is intensified during retrogrades because a planet goes back and forth over that spot, bringing those issues up multiple times, with greater intensity. Right now, Venus is going back and forth over the gandanta zone between Cancer (water) and Leo (fire). The Sun is here now. Mercury, Moon and Mars also recently went through this transit, so these karmic knots are more intense and effecting nearly all areas of life.
Jupiter, Rahu, Saturn aspects on Venus: Jupiter brings expansion and opportunities for major growth in addressing old relationship issues. Rahu brings a passion around relationships that can lead us into addictive patterns, but also to have the resolve to change them. Saturn bring a sense of limitation, containment and boundaries that will not let you avoid these issues. Humility, patience are teachers and Saturn is challenging your to become wiser, more mature and learn important life lessons around relationships.
Now let’s look at the most significant transits within the next 7 days:
Sat, Aug 12 - Mars in Uttara Phalguni in Leo (21 Days)
Wed, Aug 16 - New Moon in Aslesha in Cancer (1 Day)
Thu, Aug 17 - 4 Planet Stellium in Leo (1 Day)

10 Signs of Health in Your Birth Chart
Click here to RSVP for the FREE live workshop "Get In The Best Health Of Your Life"
How do you understand and optiimize your heatlh with Vedic Astrology?
Tomorrow is the Best Health of Your Life workshop, Click here to RSVP for free!
In the new Quietmind Astrology Podcast, I share 10 Signs of Health in Your Birth Chart. These are things to consider to better understand your physical, mental and emotional wellbeing. Reference this with your chart and consider current transits to better understand any past, current or future health situations in your life:
1st House: The first house represents your body and overall health and wellness.
6th House: The sixth house represents diseases, illnesses, and physical ailments. A strong and well-placed sixth house lord can indicate good resistance to diseases and a generally healthy constitution.
8th House: The eigth house represents sudden unexpected events and transformation in life. Malefic aspects, transits or placements here can bring health challenges. Strong, well placed and/or exalted planets here bring great resiliancy and major transformations throughout life
11th House: The eleventh house represents the ending of diseases, illnesses and physical ailments. A strong and well placed elevent house lord can indicate quick recovery from any health issues.
Benefic Planets: Benefic planets (Jupiter, Venus, and Mercury if it is placed with Jupiter or Venus) can have a positive influence on health. Transits and dashas related to these planets can make it easier to maintain and improve health. If they are strong and well-placed in the chart, they can indicate good overall well-being.
Lords (/ Karakas / Signifactors): Every sign has a ruling planet. That planet also may have another ruling planet. Using house lords helps make more accurate interpretations about each planet, sign and house.
Malefic Planets: Malefic planets (Saturn, Mars, Rahu, and Ketu) can indicate health issues if they are afflicted or poorly placed in the chart. Transits and dashas related to these planets can trigger health challenges. Their influence should be assessed carefully to determine potential health challenges.
Moon: The Moon represents the mind and emotions. A strong and well-placed Moon can indicate emotional well-being, which in turn can contribute to overall good health.
Planetary Aspects: The aspects of planets on specific houses and planets can also provide insights into health matters. For example, the aspect of benefic planets on the Ascendant or Ascendant lord can indicate good health, while the aspect of malefic planets may suggest health concerns.
Sun: The Sun represents vitality, strength, and energy. A strong and well-placed Sun in the birth chart can indicate robust health and vitality.
And only one notable transit this week. Leading up to the New Moon and Venus Retrograde next week!
