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)
Thu, Aug 17 - Sun in Leo (31 Days)
Thu, Aug 17 - Sun in Magha in Leo (13 Days)

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!

July 2023: Venus Retrograde & Gandanta + Lots of Leo Energy
Click here to RSVP for the FREE live workshop "Get In The Best Health Of Your Life"
Happy July!
I mentioned last week how my friend said she wants to get in the best shape of her life this month, perfect with Mars in Leo. But then she got sick. And i got sick too. Most of the people in town got sick actually. It’s one of the quirks of living in a small Mexican village. Things can go around quickly. Thankfully, they also passed quickly.
This inspired me to think deeply about the phrase “best shape of your life.” It’s something many people want, but no matter how healthy you are, we can all still get sick. We all age. So it’s not as much about the external, physical shape, but the internal sense of health and wellness that matters.
Health is something I’ve been passionate about since I became conscious of my diet as a teenager. I was drinking my usual 3 sodas a day (!) when I asked my friend if he wanted one. He said no, because it causes muscle loss. I was shocked. I knew it was bad for my teeth but I never thought beyond that. I immediately stopped drinking soda and began to examine the effects of all foods and lifestyle choices. This eventually lead to me becoming a yoga teacher in 2011 and specializing in Ayurveda; the science of life extension.
Reflecting on this inspired me to offer a new workshop to share the best lessons I have learned about health from Yoga, Ayurveda, Astrology and 20+ years of trial & error since the day I stopped drinking soda. It’s called “Get In The Best Health Of Your Life.”
Click here to RSVP for the FREE live workshop "Get In The Best Health Of Your Life"
I want to add that health is an extremely personal matter, and I fully honor your unique diet, exercise and health preferences. Rather than suggest there is only one best way for everyone, I’ll support you to find your unique way.
Now lets look at the transits for this month, there are some big ones!

Covid Retrospective with Heather Begun
Saturn transits were a massive influence in the Covid experience of 2020 through 2023. Now as Saturn has turned retrograde, public interest has increased for open, honest discussions about what happened. In this episode we take a look back at the charts of the United States, significant dates, and the public figures who were influential in this time. I'm joined by medical professional and graduate of the Vedic Astrology Mentorship, Heather Begun, who adds lots of perspective from her experience throughout Covid as well as her excellent astrological insights.
We look at the charts of
The United States
The date Covid was declared a pandemic
Past world events similar to Covid including the AIDS epidemic, 9/11 and the Spanish Flu
Significant public figures related to the pandemic including Bill Gates, Anthony Fauci, Peter Hotez, John Campbell, Anderson Cooper, Robert F Kennedy Jr, Joe Rogan, Russell Brand and Elon Musk
My hope is this discussion brings some perspective to what happened from 2020 to 2023 and what we can learn from it.

Confusion Creates Clarity + Weekly Horoscope
Change is constant. You're always making choices of where to go, what to do. Some of these can be life changing about where to live or where to work or whatever you're going through right now.
In this episode, I share how confusion often precedes clarity, and is a necessary part of the process. As long as you're alive, you'll continue to move from stages of confusion to clarity.
I share how that confusion can create clarity in whatever you're working through right now; whether it's the 5.1 earthquake I experienced this week (!) or a major life decision you're working through.
Last week I had the honor of hosting the Wealth Wednesday workshop where I shared some deep inquiry processes to help you optimize your finances.
Now that Saturn is retrograde, the Sun is in Gemini, and we just had the New Moon in Gemini, this week is a powerful time for going back over the foundations and structures in your life to improve upon them.
Finances often begin as a root chakra, survival need, but can move up into allowing creative expression from the second chakra and service in the heart chakra. The Wealth Wednesday workshop walks you through how to uncover the foundations of your money beliefs, so that you can more easily create wealth and prosperity for yourself and others.
Click here to watch the Wealth Wednesday workshop: http://www.quietmindastrology.com/wealth
If you find the workshop helpful, you’ll love the new Wealth Rising membership that is open for enrollment for just one more day! This is where I give you the app and bi-weekly support to stay on top of your finances and reach your financial goals, in sync with astrology. This app can be life changing. Finances effect every other area of life, and with the transits of 2023, I think its one of the most important areas to address.
