In this segment we discuss our human desire to take control and move our lives in a specific direction, and how to find balance with Universal forces and find trust that perhaps une...

Saturn is notorious for being "The Great Malefic". Saturn will generally require hard work, commitment, and responsibility from an individual in various areas of their lives (which is not as fun as the blessings bestowed by other, more gentle, planets!). Depending on the house that Saturn is in, and the planets he sits with, and the sign he resides in - Saturn will produce different results for all individuals. In this segment Ryan Kurczak discusses the influences of Saturn, what may occur when ...

Vedic astrology can be profoundly healing. This practice is capable of giving validation, insight, language, and names to various aspects of ourselves that may enable us to adjust our short comings, embrace our strengths, and bring a deeper understanding to various parts of our mind, personality qualities, body, family, partners, and self. In this segment I discuss why I believe Vedic Astrology to be helpful in this life - in a practical and spiritual sense. I discuss my perspective of the Vedic...

Sagittarius is known for being quite radical or potentially dogmatic - so beware of people acting out in radical or unpredictable ways. Getting more specific, the new moon will be in the nakshatra of ...

Humans are the only creatures who do not abide by the cycles of nature. As the solstice comes, we will find that plants and animals retreat from the world, rest, and rejuvenate so that there may be a rebirth in spring. When we look closely we find that this cycle of rest is imperative in the creative process. Despite how humans have shaped society and the systems we live in - we are not free from these natural cycles. It's imperative for us to lean into the yin quality of this winter cycle and e...

With this transit, we are bound t...

There is a natural connection to the 12th house, indicating that this nakshatra has the capacity to create a world of their own - rather it be with their idealism, creativity, or travel.

When utilizing a predictive tool like Vedic astrology, the idea of self-fulfilling prophecy is considered by both astrologers and skeptics.
