Quietmind Astrology — Learn Vedic Astrology With Jeremy Devens

To best understand your relationships schedule a reading at http://www.quietmindastrology.com Today's episode comes from our listener Rachel's email asking "how do you see relationship synastry in Vedic astrology vs western astrology?" -- This is a huge topic so I will share 10 of the most helpful ways to better understand yourself and your relationships. The first 3 are very important mindsets / approaches rooted in Vedic teachings and the other 7 are based on understanding your birth chart. If you don't know your Vedic chart, you can now get your chart for free at http://www.quietmindastrology.com Disclaimer: This episode is not a substitute for relationship advice or a compatibility reading. I encourage you to only use this information or any similar information for educational purposes and to help you know what to ask an astrologer that you work with. If you do apply these techniques to your relationships I encourage you to only focus on the positive aspects and not worry about any perceived negative aspects because it is very likely there are factors you can only see by looking at the charts holistically and factoring in the countless other aspects of your birth chart.

This question comes up in many different ways when I do astrology readings. Questions like will we stay together? Which jobs should I pursue? Should I move to this city or that city? At the heart of all of these questions is often a desire to use Vedic Astrology to know which choices are going to be most supported and which choices will lead to the most struggle and difficulty. Want to learn more? Sign up for the Astrology 101 online course at http://www.quietmindastrology.com Given how incredibly accurate and insightful astrology can be, it would be foolish not to consult with these tools to help you make wiser decisions. The key is remembering that you always have a degree of free will and choice. The movements of the celestial bodies will certainly have an influence on our experience here on earth, and they help us mark cycles and patterns throughout history on a macro level and on a personal level. So what aspects of our chart should we look at to help us determine how things might play out? How much of our lives are predetermined? How do I avoid making decisions that sent me on a bad path in life? Are there certain aspects of my chart that are just doomed to be the way they are? What part of my chart or Vedic Astrology should I look at to help find the answers to these questions? In today's episode I share all about Bill Gates’ birth chart and dashas (time periods) as an example of how Vedic Astrology can give you an idea of what to expect through different periods of your life. How your karma unfolds over time, and how each dasha is related to a certain area of your chart. Again, it's important to stress that you always have free will and astrology is much like looking at the weather and gives us insight into what external forces may be at play, but we always get to choose how we engage with them.

Vedic Astrology horoscope July 2020 Based on Jyotish (sidereal zodiac), the sister science of yoga. Schedule a reading at http://www.quietmindastrology.com Take the Astrology 101 course at http://www.quietmindastrology.com Listen on all podcast platforms at http://www.quietmind.yoga/podcasts Watch on Youtube at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lAbUvRZ3oR0&feature=youtu.be In Vedic Astrology every aspect has a potentially postiive, negative or neutral expression. For example, this month's Sun in Cancer can bring out more of your caring and compassionate qualities. It can also make your emotions volatile and reactive. Mercury in Gemini can bring out more creative, inventive and inspiring ideas. It can also make you argumentative. In this horoscope I give an overview of 2020 so far astrologically, share 6 significant transits this month and suggest practices and actions you can take to best navigate these energies. I also share a powerful new moon ritual that I have done over the years and found incredibly helpful for processing the intense energy of the 3 eclipses of June & July. This month I share about:  Jupiter in Sagittarius Full Moon / Eclipse in Sagittarius Mercury Retrograde ends and Mercury in Gemini Sun in Cancer New Moon in Cancer Venus in Gemini Have a topic you'd like to learn more about Vedic Astrology?

The astrology book that I have referenced the most is “Beneath a Vedic Sky.” If you want one of the best resources to learn Vedic astrology, this book is near the top of my list. One of the most valuable parts of the book is that it shows possible favorable and unfavorable expressions of nearly every placement you can have in a chart. It addresses all of the signs, planets, and houses. The only thing that it doesn't address, and no book or resources could address, is how to read your whole chart holistically. If you want to do that schedule a reading with me at http://www.quietmind.yoga/astrology. In this episode I will share all of the most helpful things that I found in this book, and why I recommend it as an essential resource for learning Vedic Astrology.

Watch this episode on YouTube here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zhTrVpMkXbw How will Mercury Retrograde effect you? Schedule a reading at http://www.quietmind.yoga/astrology Three or four times a year the planet Mercury appears to be moving backwards as we see it from Earth. This is known as mercury retrograde. Astrologically Mercury represents communication, business, in the element of air. Like the moon affects the tides on the earth, other planets affect other energies that are more subtle. When Mercury is retrograde it is not the best time for starting completely new projects. Often you may need to review, revise, and rewrite things many times during the retrograde. You can ameliorate these negative facts by doing pranayama practices. One of the most powerful pranayama techniques to manage the air element in your body, breathe easier, and clear your mind is alternate nostril breathing. In this episode, I will guide you through breathing through one nostril at a time, then into alternate nostril breathing. This is also known as Nadi Shodhana or “channel cleansing breath.”
