Hi everyone! Happy Friday! In this segment we discuss the upcoming new moon in the sidereal sign of Libra. This transit is important because it is our FINAL new moon while Rahu and Ketu, the karmic nodes, are still in the signs of Libra and Aries (at least according to the true node system!). We discuss the symbolism of Vishakha, the energy to anticipate, and some of the deeper spiritual influences that give meaning to the planets. We work through some personal reflection questions to contemplat...

Hi everyone! Happy November! I can't believe that we have already made it here! In this segment we discuss the VERY busy month of November. We will experience many larger transits, including the shift of Rahu into the sign of Pisces and Ketu into the sign of Virgo 😱 Rahu and Ketu will only change signs once every 18 months. They will only be in these signs once every 18 or so years! This is a huge shift! We spend time exploring the significance of Rahu and Ketu, their shift into the signs of Vi...

Hi everyone! Happy eclipse season! On this segment, I thought it could be helpful to remind everyone (including myself) of more or less auspicious activities for the eclipse. Of course, all of this is from a Vedic lens and we spend some time discussing the philosophy behind eclipse practices. We also spend time discussing superstition and finding balance between the ethereal thought and grounded reality.

Hi everyone! Welcome back to AstrologyNow. We are preparing for our lunar eclipse on October 28, 2023. This is, honestly, a period of time I've been tracking since the beginning of the year with anticipation of it being particularly fiery! Of course, we are already seeing intensity brewing and we can expect current themes to continue. This period of time is particularly important as it could directly impact leaders around the world... Though this experience will likely initiate some storms here ...

Hi everyone! Happy Friday the 13th and day of Freya! 💃🏻❤️💫 Are you ready for the eclipse on October 14, 2023? In this segment we do some eclipse reflection, manifestation practice, and take some time to philosophize together. In order to welcome in and manifest, it's so important to properly reflect on the past and allow ourselves to fully release from both our mind and our body. (I share a practice that my therapist always recommends... shaking it out!) The state of the world is heavy, scary...

Happy eclipse season, folks! In this segment we discuss the upcoming solar eclipse in the nakshatra of Chitra. Chitra is ruled by Mars and associated to the celestial architect. This is an amazing time to embrace creative liberty over our lives, connect with our dharma, and focus on our spiritual practices. This eclipse marks the end of a 6 month cycle and is preparing us for the wrapping up of an entire 18 month cycle! This is a monumental time of self-reflection, contemplation, and release. We...

Hi everyone! I can NOT believe that we are already to OCTOBER of 2023! First, time truly does fly and I hope you all are preparing for a beautiful transition into fall! I love this season and I hope you all have a nice "fall cleaning" and really utilize the time to surrender, release, and let go of what's been weighing on your shoulders. Second, this is the month that I (personally) have been waiting for all year. If you've had a personal reading with me, I've been discussing this Ketu/Mars comb...

Hi everyone! Happy Friday! On this segment we discuss the upcoming full moon that takes place in the sidereal sign of Pisces on September 29, 2023. This is an outstanding period of time that we are entering and this full moon could certainly provoke some necessary changes or initiation for some of us! Uttara Bhadrapada is the nakshatra that the full moon will take place in. This asterism is associated with fortune, luck, and being blessed - while also being associated to a funeral cot. There is ...

In this segment we discuss the transit of Jupiter retrograde between September 4th - December 30th 2023. Jupiter is the planet of truth, virtue, moral, and "right and wrong". This planet has so much to do with law! Jupiter is also a planet that is related to wealth, abundance, prosperity, and therefore the economy. This planet is retrograde in the fiery, impulsive, independent, and mars-ruled sign of Aries. I see this period as really emphasizing law and order, revisions amongst rules, and overa...

Hello everyone! Happy Friday. In this segment we discuss the upcoming full moon on August 30, 2023. This full moon will be in the sidereal sign of Aquarius which is all about futuristic thinking, pioneering ideas, health, science, and communal evolution. The nakshatra will be Shatabhisha, which is known as the hundred healers.

There is currently a LOT of significant movement happening in the night sky. As above, so below! With intensity brewing in the cosmos, it makes sense that we will experience some intensity here on earth as well! The planet Mars will move into the sign of Virgo from August 18th - October 3rd. This is a big transit for focusing on health, wellness, and longevity. However, this is also a period where we should pay close attention to our own wellness and the wellness of our communities. This is also...

Hello everyone! Welcome to Friday! In this segment we discuss the month of August 2023. This month is, arguably, one of the most intense and heated months of the year! Literally and metaphorically! With multiple planets retrograde and multiple planets in gandanta degrees - we can surely anticipate some drama around the world! Miscommunication, issues from the past, criticism and judgement will certainly be afoot in regards to leaders of all kinds! With Mars entering the sign of Virgo, this is a ...

Hello everyone! Welcome back to AstrologyNow! As always, we are so grateful to have you! On this segment we discuss the beautiful full moon in Shravana nakshatra that will reign us in for the month of August. Shravana is all about "hearing the unheard" and tapping into the sides of life that go unseen. When we think about it, some of the most compelling parts of life are intangible: faith, joy, Spirit, trust, love... How can we connect with these intangible, yet highly inspirational, facets of o...

Hello everyone! Happy Day of Venus! 💫 Today we discuss the upcoming transit of Venus retrograde. What happens when the planet of love moves backwards?! Venus is the planet of love, romance, and relationship. When this planet turns retrograde - it is a time to reflect, review, and reassess all things love! Venus retrograde always offers a profound time of potential healing and release... particularly in regards to matters of the heart. This period is also notorious for bringing exes back into th...

Hello everyone! The new moon is amongst us and we are fortunate to have a lovely beacon on the horizon! Though the energy of July can still be intense for many, we are being offered a moment to pause, reflect, and generate a sense of renewal in ourselves and for the world around us. This new moon will be in the asterism of Punarvasu within the sidereal sign of Cancer. Punarvasu is steeped in regenerative energy and reminds us to reflect on the cycles and patterns that are upholding our daily liv...

Happy Friday, everyone! July is *quite the eventful month*. I believe this month will be influential in how the rest of the year shapes up! So certainly pay attention! If you've been listening to AstrologyNow, we have been discussing the first Pluto return of the United States and what that could look like. The exact return will occur in the fall of 2024. (Interesting.) Pluto is the planet of death and rebirth. Capricorn is the sign of government structures, economy, and currency. It's been incr...

Happy Friday! And happy full moon as we discuss one of the BEST days of the year... in my humble opinion, of course! This full moon in the sidereal sign of Sagittarius marks the very special day of Guru Purnima. This is the day of honoring our teachers, mentors, guides, or anyone in life who has acted as an inspiration. Remember that "guru" translates to "dispeller of ignorance". A guru can be anyone who has supported us in bringing light to darkness within our consciousness... It is a day to hu...

Hello everyone! Welcome to another Friday or day of Venus! Today we discuss the transit of Saturn and what to expect during this period of Saturn retrograde. Saturn is the planet of karmic retribution, delays, challenges, responsibility, burdens, and restrictions. However, Saturn is also the planet that rewards hard work, represents instilled wisdom, creates structure and safety, and provides us with longevity. Saturn really isn't all bad!... But we should always be a little cautious when assess...

Happy Friday, everyone! This week we have a very special new moon in the sidereal sign of Gemini, Mrigashira nakshatra, on June 17, 2023.

Soma represents the bliss within us while Brahma is literally the god of creation. This nakshatra is very much associated to following bliss, seeking happiness, and chasing fulfillment of the heart. The Mars influence makes this nakshatra e...

Hello everyone! Welcome to another Friday interview! You're not going to want to miss this one! In this segment we interview James Braha, yet again, for another amazing and insightful segment.

Today we discuss the planet Pluto when aspecting different planets in a horoscope. It's important to remember that the chart s...

In this segment we discuss the upcoming full moon in the sidereal sign of Scorpio in Jyeshta nakshatra. This is an extremely potent full moon! The sign of Scorpio invokes deep transformation, change, and expansion - while also being notorious for stirring fear, anxiety, and instability! It's fascinating that what generally PREVENTS us from change is fear and that both of these are each sides to the coin of Scorpio... which side will you choose during this full moon week? Don't forget that the ka...

Happy Friday! In this segment we cover the "main" transits for the month of June 2023 and spend time assessing the month holistically. There are a few main themes this month, but perhaps the most notable is the planet Venus!... The planet of love and romance is on the move and will become rather pronounced and emphasized. Matters of the heart may really come to the forefront and it may be a time of confronting issues around security, safety, and stability in love and romance. We discuss what we ...

Hello everyone! Happy Friday! In this segment we discuss the upcoming new moon in the sidereal sign of Taurus, in the nakshatra of Krittika. Taurus is the sign of stability, routine, structure, resources, and wealth. Of course, it is also a sign of creature comforts and sensuality. This is a profound time to introduce beauty and luxury into our daily lives OR to find balance in our relationship to sensual pursuits. Krittika means "to cut" and has a sharper edge to it. It is also governed by Agni...

Hello everyone! Welcome to Friday! May is a pretty eventful month that we should all be paying special attention to. The planet Mars, who governs war and frustration, will be debilitated from May 10th - June 30th. This could certainly shake things up for the collective and may bring about some tension and controversy. Mars is a great planet for managing aggression and warfare. When it is afflicted, these areas of life are less likely to be managed with intelligence and pragmatism. In this segmen...
