In today's episode I have the pleasure of recording a podcast episode with my husband!! Together we explore the different approaches of Jupiter and Mercury in a birth chart. We talk about "A Restless Traveller," Zé's memoir focused on a four-month trip to Europe he took in 1977 at age 23. I have the chance to share the Vedic Mythology how Mercury was conceived (picking up from where Nisha Sankaran and I left off in S2 Ep 11, 12 & 14). The mythology of Tara, Jupiter and the Moon become a touchstone that we returned to throughout the interview. We also discuss the influence of José's Gemini rising sign and the Parivartana Yoga of mutual exchange between Mercury and Jupiter in his birth chart on themes of restlessness, travel, identity, and the search for connection. We explore how his travels and his relationship with his family and romantic encounters, resonated with Vedic Astrologic Houses of self (1st), home (4th), parents (4th & 10th), and the quest for love (7th). We also talk about the process of writing and how revisiting his past led to deeper self-acceptance. I hope you will enjoy learning more about Jupiter and Mercury through this personal episode :)

Join me for a special, light-hearted Valentine's Day episode of the Vedic Astrology Podcast. I’m delving into connections between Valentine's Day and Vedic Astrology. I’ll play with the Sun's position in the 11th sign and its significance in relationships, the rebellious nature of Aquarius and even the back-story of St. Valentine to explore various astrological and mythical links. I’m also going to examine the Vargas and the significance of the exact degree of the Sun on Valentine’s Day each year in relation to creativity and spiritual knowledge, and how these can inspire self-awareness and support striving for a higher connection. There’s even an interesting parallel drawn between Cupid and Kamadeva from Indian mythology. Tune in for this short and sweet zoom through some of the ways Vedic Astrology can enhance our understanding of love and relationships on this special day.

This is the episode I've eagerly awaited since my very first episode, 'What is Vedic Astrology?' When I started The Vedic Astrology Podcast four years ago, I knew I needed to address this fundamental question, but I also realized that doing so effectively would require more than my own understanding. Today, I am thrilled to present this long-anticipated episode. I am joined by Sachin Sharma to delve deeply into the essence of Jyotish, often translated as Vedic Astrology. Sachin and I explore the unique philosophy of Jyotish, grounding our discussion in Sutra 3:14 from the Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra. This episode addresses key differences between Jyotish and other forms of astrology, the richness and symbolism embedded in Jyotish, and the effects of colonization on its interpretation. Sachin shares profound insights into the deeper purpose of Jyotish, including its relation to the concept of Atman and its applicability to personal growth, spirituality, and practical life areas such as relationships, career, and health. Additionally, we discuss the integration of Jyotish with other related disciplines like yoga, Ayurveda, and Samkhya, highlighting that these fields form a cohesive study of life's profound truths. Learn the true potential and gift Jyotish offers, and discover how this ancient practice can serve as a psychoanalytic and therapeutic tool. Sachin's ongoing Jyotish Project aims to re-educate and bring greater clarity to this rich and intricate discipline, making it accessible for both personal and professional practices. Join us in this enlightening conversation and find out how you can engage with Sachin's work and further explore the transformative power of Jyotish. Don't miss out! (Apologies that there are no chapter markers, it was one of those integrated conversations that didn’t have discreet topics :)

How do you use Lajjitaadi Avasthas when predicting? This is what we explore in the episode through the lens of "The Voice" Referendum taking place in Australia on the annular solar eclipse this 14 October 2023. We'll examine Mercury starving Jupiter, mutual Sun and Saturn starvation and agitation, the shaming of Mercury and Jupiter, plus Spiral Dynamics, whether one should call a Referendum on an eclipse?!?! and how Jupiter and the placenta can offer us a vision for humanity as it strives to heal its colonial past.
