Quietmind Astrology — Learn Vedic Astrology With Jeremy Devens

Today continues our series on how to best manage your time and energy applying the Vedic Astrology teachings of Hora. No matter what your birth chart is like, hora effects us all. This series will help you understand the ruling planet of each hour of the day. When you align yourself with these energies your actions are in alignment with the cycles of the planets. I encourage you to experiment with this and find how it feels resonant for you. If you have a significant task to complete, you may find it helpful to chant the mantra associated with that hora’s ruling planet. In each episode I will share a mantra for each planet. The hora is about one hour for each planetary period, repeating in this order, based on the speed of the planets, as perceived from earth: Moon Mercury Venus Sun Mars Jupiter Saturn Today I will share all about the Moon hora When does this time begin? What activities are favorable during this time? What activities are not favorable during this time? What is the mantra for this time? Want to practice yin yoga?

What activities are favorable during this hora? What activités are not favorable during this hora? What is the mantra for this hora? BONUS PRACTICE: I didn't mention this in the podcast, but one of my favorite Venus Hora activities is writing "desire inventory" - Take a blank piece of paper and write down "I want ______" and fill in the blank. Fill up a whole page of desires like this, without any filter. You don't need to know how or why, just write from your heart. Sometimes desire is illogical or irrational! The goal is not to make a to-do list and check everything off, but to connect to your Venusian energy of desire and stay in touch with what brings you pleasure and fulfillment.  Thank you to listener Anthony Louis who shared a great post on the order of the planetary hours at https://www.renaissanceastrology.com/planetaryhoursarticle.html?fbclid=IwAR2sJWAde5zQi-zx-5vqKwS9EbiRWHsmNm1iZlE4YZcfz6TylYysQq3b_hk If you enjoy this podcast, check out the new Quietmind Yoga Membership where I share weekly yoga classes and mini workshops on Yoga, Ayurveda & Vedic Astrology.

Today begins a new series on how to best manage your time and energy applying the Vedic Astrology teachings of Hora. No matter what your birth chart is like, hora effects us all. Hora is a branch of Jyotish that suggests there are certain times of the day when auspicious actions such as marriage, investments, business transactions, asset purchases, journeys, relationships, meetings and medical treatments can be taken. The Hora is the duration in a day (the duration between sunrise to sunset is divided by 12 equal parts and the next session from the sunset to the sunrise is considered the other 12 parts of the Hora), ruled by a particular planet. In a week, on every day, starting from the dawn to dusk, there are 24 Horas ruled by seven planets. Sun hora begins at sunrise on Sunday. Moon at sunrise on Monday, and so on. This series will help you understand the rolling planet of each hour of the day. When you align yourself with these energies your actions are in alignment with the cycles of the planets. I encourage you to experiment with this and find how it feels resonant for you. If you have a significant task to complete, you may find it helpful to chant the mantra associated with that ruling planet. In each episode I will share a mantra for each planet. The hora is about one hour for each planetary period, repeating in this order: Sun Venus Mercury Moon Saturn Jupiter Mars Today I will share all about the Sun hora When does this hora begin? What activities are favorable during this hora? What activities are not favorable during this hora? What is the mantra for this hora? If you enjoy this podcast, check out the new Quietmind Yoga Membership where I share weekly yoga classes and mini workshops. Today I just posted a new class on creating an Ayurvedic daily routine (Dinacharya). I will soon be adding recordings of mantras for each of the Horas that I share about in this series. http://www.quietmind.yoga/membership to learn more! Thanks for listening, Jeremy

In this episode I share yogic and astroligical perspectives on everything happening in the world right now. There are only so many things we can directly control, and the most important thing we can influence right now is what we choose to focus on. I will share one of my favorite and most helpful Buddhist phrases as well as the big picture astorlogical perspective we can come back to when the negative aspects of Saturn in Capricorn and Rahu in Ardra manifest.  Schedule a reading at http://www.quietmind.yoga/astrology Join my free live Zoom Yoga class this Sunday at 9:30AM CST at http://facebook.com/groups/quietmindcommunity/

Today’s episode is sponsored by the free online workshop 3 Mindset Shifts to Build Confidence in Teaching Yoga available now by clicking here. This also includes a preview of the Quietmind Yoga Teacher Training that is all online and starts next week! Learn more about the Quietmind Yoga Teacher Training here. Today I am sharing one of my favorite tools for applying astrology to your life. Best of all, It requires zero training and it’s super simple and fun to use. It’s part of a free app called Align27. I am not sponsored by them, I just love this app and wish it existed when I started learning astrology! I will show you step by step how to use this app to manage your energy throughout the day. Do you ever have moments where you feel the energy has just “shifted”? Do you ever feel full of energy some times, and depleted other times? This app factors in several Vedic Astrology calculations that have been used for thousands of years to give you a detailed graph for your energy throughout the day. It shows whether the overall day is a Green, Amber or Red day. It shows your most productive times, “golden moments,” and “silent moments.” The most interesting thing for me is when I DON’T think about the app, then use it to reflect on my day. I have experimented with this for the past 3 months and found it to be incredibly accurate and helpful. I’ll share how you can use this app to manage your energy and plan your day too!

I hope you and your loved ones are staying safe. This is an uncertain time for many people, and I was curious what I could learn about this pandemic by comparing it to previous ones. I looked up 9 pandemics / epidemics of the past to see what similarities I could see. I was surprised to find one very obvious correlation. I'll share all about that in today's episode.  This episode is sponsored by my free workshop: 3 Mindset Shifts to Build Confidence in Teaching Yoga. This is ending soon so you can check it out or get on the waiting list by clicking here.  Be well! Jeremy
