Jupiter Retrograde in Aquarius on June 20, 2021

Jupiter is all about growth and expansion. Jupiter is the Guru - the natural teacher and great benefic. Jupiter also represents our wealth, faith, spirituality, philosophy, and religion. When Jupiter turns to move backwards, these areas of our life may take a turn for reassessing. Our faith or beliefs may be challenged. We may reevaluate our financial situations. It's possible we even take a second look at what we've been following as Truth. Spiritual confusion may be underway. As Jupiter is ret...

Eclipse Season and Mercury Retrograde: Resurfacing Patterns and Attachment

In this segment we discuss the upcoming transits in the night sky within the "in-between" phase of eclipses. This is profoundly powerful time for personal reflection and healing. Choices and decisions we make in this time may hold more weight and impact. It's possible that events occur around us to challenge us, teach us, and encourage us to "level up". Between eclipse season, Mercury retrograde, and a debilitated Mars - we are in for some opportunities of growth that may be mildly uncomfortable...

Full Moon Forecast on May 26, 2021 in Anuradha Nakshatra: Devotion Towards the Self

In this segment we discuss the upcoming full moon and lunar eclipse in the sign of Scorpio.

The Difference Between Western and Vedic Astrology

Hello everyone! It's been a while since we've discussed the difference between Western and Vedic astrology. I was having this conversation recently and decided to make a segment for you all. Please keep in mind that I study the Vedic Sidereal System of astrology. That being said, this segment is partially bias and I share my journey with Western and Vedic astrology and why I chose to invest my time in Vedic study. Vedic astrology, or Jyotish, is a sister science to Ayurveda, Yoga, Vastu, and oth...

Astrology as a Spiritual Practice, Sadhana, and Self-Realization

In this segment we discuss spiritual practice and the purpose of the spiritual path. We discuss the concept of Ahamkara, or ego, and the role it can play in life. It's important to note that the ego is not an enemy and can be used to for good! But it still takes work and introspection to see beyond our limited perspective and experience. Reality is subjective. Truth is mostly subjective. Self-realization is a deconstruction of what we have thought ourselves and the world to be, so that we may op...

Full Moon Forecast in Hasta Nakshatra: Release Control and Find Freedom

In this segment we discuss the upcoming full moon in the sidereal sign of Virgo, more specifically the nakshatra of Hasta. Hasta is a wonderful nakshatra for fun, laughter, building, and enjoying. However, this nakshatra is also symbolized by a hand, palm, or closed fist. This could represent healing with acupuncture, massage, or herbal remedies. But it can also represent manipulation or control, as our hands are what are responsible for manipulating objects through space. In this podcast we spe...

Jupiter Transit into Aquarius: Part One

In this segment we discuss the upcoming transit of Jupiter into the sign of Aquarius on a more global level. Jupiter will move into Aquarius on April 5, and go retrograde back into the sign of Capricorn later in the year.

This transit will bring emphasis to the collective and to the future we are all creating. However, everyone will have a different vision of what that future is goi...

New Moon Intentions: Connect to True Essence and Ditch the Illusions of Doubt

In this segment I share (again!) one of my favorite methods of manifestation. We also discuss topics to reflect on in regards to negative self-talk, self-doubt, or unhelpful thinking patterns. We pick up so much in life that may contribute to an "illusionary" way of viewing ourselves or our capabilities. With this new moon, we're given an opportunity to let these illusions melt away and "reboot" our lives so that we may live with a deeper connection to our True Essence. I hope you find it helpfu...

What is a Nakshatra?

In this segment we explore the meaning of a nakshatra in Jyotish, or Vedic astrology. I was recently told by someone in my Beginner's Module, "You have a segment for each of the nakshatras, but no segment explaining what one is!". This made me laugh because she was totally right! I briefly explain their meaning in my full and new moon segments, but I thought taking time to thoroughly explain what a nakshatra is could be profoundly helpful. So much gratitude to each of you for being my teachers a...

In this segment we discuss the upcoming new moon on March 13, 2021. This new moon will occur in the sidereal sign of Aquarius, more specifically in Purva Bhadrapada.

Though this nakshatra is "inauspicious for all worldly activity", it is highly spiritual and can give us access to incredible spiritual insight and inquiry. Aquarius is a visionary. Purva Bhadrapada can idealistically imag...

Astrology is so much more complicated than looking at ones Sun sign, though I understand why someone newer to astrology may be plagued with this question!

Tough Transits, Self-Control, and Fully Embracing the Present Moment

In this segment we discuss the only thing we have control over - ourselves! I think it's easy to get swept away by anxiety over "tough transits". Of course we do, it's entirely human! However, usually anxiety turns into the desire to manipulate and control the outcome of a situation - leading to even more frustration, anxiety, and suffering. Join me as I discuss turning anxiety into living with urgency in the present moment. For readings: email: AstrologyNowPodcast@gmail.com website: innerknowin...
