Life Purpose & Dharma In Astrology: Q&A & Case Studies
“It's better to fail in your own dharma than to succeed in the dharma of another.”This timeless truth from the Bhagavad Gita is the heart of today’s episode.Whether you’re in a job you’ve outgrown or on the brink of launching something deeply meaningful, this episode will help you connect the dots between astrology and your purpose. These are the same conversations I’ve had with hundreds of clients in 1-1 readings—“Am I on the right path?” “What am I here to do?” “Can astrology help me find my calling?” The answer is a loud and clear YES.In this episode, I unpack how Vedic astrology reveals your life purpose and ideal career path—using real-life examples, including Robin Williams, Oprah Winfrey, and Steve Jobs. We explore their charts to illustrate how placements like Atma Karaka, Rahu, the 10th house, and planetary combinations illuminate not just career, but deeper soul-level purpose.You’ll learn:• Why the 10th house is just the beginning when it comes to career astrology• What your Atma Karaka says about your true soul essence• How to understand the deeper why behind your gifts and talents• The difference between career (job) and calling (dharma)—and how to align both• Why intuition must come first, and astrology is a tool to clarify, not override itI also cover:• How your current Dasha cycle may be shaping your life path• The deeper meaning behind Rahu-Venus and Mars-in-Aries combinations• Why Robin Williams’ chart reflects his fast-paced comedic genius—and Oprah’s reflects her grounded, heart-centered communication style• Why staying in a job just for the money often leads to soul-level dissatisfaction• How to notice when your intuition is blocked and simple ways to clear the channelThis episode also includes journaling prompts and reflection points to help you recognize when you’re most intuitive and how to clear what’s blocking you from hearing your deeper calling.Whether you’re completely lost in your job, or you’ve already found your path and just want to go deeper with it—there is something here for you. I also share practical ways you can start aligning with your chart today, including how to tell which career paths are a fit based on your 10th house, Dasha cycle, Amatya Karaka, and planetary placements.📅 Free Live Workshop: Thrive Online 2025If you already know you want to share https://www.quietmindastrology.com/thriveworkshopyour gifts online, I’m hosting a live workshop on April 7th at 7pm ET:Https://www.quietmindastrology.com/thriveworkshopIt’s for yoga teachers, empaths, intuitives, coaches, and astrologers who are ready to share their work online and align with the powerful transits of 2025.
