Send us a textIn this episode of Third Eye Roll, Dr. Justine Lemos and Scarlett Trillia dive into the mystical mathematics of the number 108 and its deep ties to the sun, moon, and eclipses in Vedic astrology. From Rahu and Ketu's shadow play to Purvabhadrapada's lightning-strike energy, we explore how cosmic ratios mirror human consciousness, the dance of Shiva and Shakti, and why eclipses carry both illumination and disruption.Along the way, we trace 108 through malas, Sanskrit sounds, nakshatras, baseballs, golf, Fatboy Slim, Lost, and fashion cut-outs. We also unpack the shadow side of the divine masculine in public spaces, the harmonics of divine feminine/masculine balance, and the unexpected story of Scarlett's literal “cosmic slap.”Tune in for myth, math, pop culture, and a flash of awakening that might just slap you into your own next evolution.Support the show

The lunar nodes are arguably one of modern astrology's most elusive topics. Sometimes called the “nodes of fate,” they've been linked to everything from past lives to future potential.These mathematical points mark where the Sun and Moon's paths cross, creating eclipses. While they're a topic of contention among modern astrologers, historically, the North Node signified "more" and the South Node "less." In Indian astrology, these are personified as Rahu (the insatiable head, crying "More!") and Ketu (the tail, releasing with "Less!"). This dynamic is central to my conversation with astrologer and friend Micki Pellerano of Time Lord TV, where we discuss the roles of the lunar nodes in astrological practice and their evolving interpretations.ABOUT MICKIMicki Pellerano is a Cuban-American artist and occultist whose practices have established a preeminent career in Hellenistic and Vedic astrology.

This Full Moon is a total lunar eclipse that falls in Pūrva Bhādrapadā, with Rāhu eclipsing the Moon. The Moon represents the mind, and Rāhu brings unreality, anxiety, and distortion—though this can also bring innovation.Eclipses shake us from ordinary perceptions, opening possibilities and insights that fuel our evolution, especially in the sign of Aquarius. Jupiter's aspect offers some stability, but this is obscured by Rāhu, blurring the line between insight and illusion.The days following bring loss and uncertainty as the Sun conjoins Ketu on September 10 and Mercury on September 12, clouding clarity and decision-making. Expect intensity in the coming days, peaking with the lunar eclipse, before a gradual release as the Moon wanes. Use this two-week eclipse window (September 7–21) for reflection, emotional processing, and necessary tasks.

This week, we explore the upcoming lunar eclipse in Purva Bhadrapada, as the Moon joins Rahu and the Sun joins Ketu. This combination brings heightened sensitivity, stirring the mind and emotions while asking us to release the grip of the past and lean into future possibilities. Old matters may resurface, not to hold us back, but to give us the choice of what to carry forward and what to leave behind.Purva Bhadrapada, governed by Jupiter, is one of the most intense and polarizing nakshatras—symbolized by the front legs of a funeral cot. Its themes remind us of impermanence, death, and transformation. This energy can feel volatile and dual in nature, but it also offers profound opportunities for truth-seeking, purification, and spiritual awakening. It urges us to strip back illusions and attachments to reveal the eternal spirit within all beings.We'll also discuss:Embracing duality with neutrality, allowing ourselves to sit with both pleasure and discomfort without judgment.Shadow sides of this eclipse—indulgence, addiction, volatility—and how to navigate them consciously.Collective themes: transformative revelations, rumors, and intensities on the global stage, from leaders in the spotlight to ongoing health headlines.This eclipse invites us into the fire of purification—burning away what no longer serves.YOUTUBE:D9 exploration:https://youtu.be/HTgYcjltyasCharacteristics of Your Spouse:https://youtu.be/i_cOvdSbjy0Soulmate Astrologyhttps://youtu.be/ExnDysvjzUwChristine:website: innerknowing.yogainstagram: astrologynow_podcastpatreon: patreon.com/astrologynowpodcast keywords: astrology, jyotish, Vedic astrology, sidereal astrology, nakshatras,  spirituality, Christine Rodriguez, aries, libra, scorpio, libra, capricorn, Nakshatra, new moon, taurus, Venus, Jupiter, Pisces, Spirituality, horoscope, retrograde, eclipse, solar eclipse, new moon, lunar eclipse

September is the most pivotal month of late 2025. We're in the middle of a six-week eclipse window that started in late August and goes through September into early October. These windows bring major life changes and choices, portals of transformation where you come out a new person. This one especially activates Leo and Aquarius — old roles and identities being released, and new vision and community calling you forward.On September 6, Uranus turns retrograde for five months in Taurus in Kritika Nakshatra. This is a time to go back over the changes you've made with finances and family, to cut away what is not necessary, and to slow down. Unexpected opportunities may appear as you refine your values and security.The next day, September 7, is the full moon lunar eclipse in Aquarius in Purva Bhadrapada. The sun is with Ketu, the moon is with Rahu. It's not a good day for major decisions, but a powerful moment of completion and release. This eclipse highlights ego death, letting go of outdated identities, and moving toward your unique expression and authentic communities.On September 12, the Moon is exalted — a nourishing pause for grounding and self-care. Then September 13, Mars moves into Libra for six weeks. Energy turns toward relationships, fairness, and balance. Unconscious action could lead to conflict, but directed intentionally it can bring passion, harmony, and more balance in life.On September 14, Venus enters Leo for three and a half weeks, joining Sun, Mercury, and Ketu there. This is a fun, romantic, creative energy — great for travel, adventure, dates, and sharing what you love. Soon after, Mercury enters Virgo on September 15 for 17 days, and the Sun follows on September 16 for one month. This creates a strong Virgo energy: creative, organized, precise, and excellent for learning, communication, and bringing clarity in relationships and projects.On September 21, the new moon solar eclipse in Purva Phalguni in Leo sets the tone for the next six months. It's a reset point to evaluate the roles you play, step into healthy ego, and let go of identities that no longer fit. And finally, September 22 brings the equinox — day and night in balance, a reminder to restore harmony. Ayurveda teaches that all diseases begin in seasonal transitions, so it's important now to balance your routines, diet, and doshas as the energy shifts.This is a month of major change and realignment.

Today we discuss the final eclipse season of 2025, Virgo season, and Venus conjunct Ketu!This month carries the intensity of eclipses - opening doorways of change that can shift our paths and invite destiny-altering opportunities. Some of us may experience opportunities that completely alter destiny!September offers a powerful opportunity for healing, organization, and transformation.  As the Sun moves through Virgo, themes of health, wellness, and renewal take center stage—encouraging us to refine routines, strengthen our bodies, and bring order to the areas of life that feel scattered. Venus in Leo reminds us of loyalty, respect, and authenticity. Old relationships may resurface, offering chances for closure or reconnection. Mercury in Virgo sharpens our minds, making this an excellent period for organization, communication, and clarity.Here more about the transits here!

A total lunar eclipse in Aquarius on September 7 sets the tone for a month of upheaval and change, followed by a partial solar eclipse in Virgo on September 21, marking a major reset. In between, the Sun conjoins Ketu on September 10, amplifying rebellion and unrest.These eclipses highlight the lunar nodes in Leo and Aquarius for the first time since entering the signs earlier this year. Expect disruptions in leadership and governance, with scandals and resignations likely to surface.Eclipses stir imbalance, creating urgency without clear direction. Jupiter's involvement in the lunar eclipse—locked in an exact trine with Rāhu—brings both insights and delusions, making clarity hard to find.On September 12, Mercury joins Ketu, adding mixed messages and unexpected revelations from leaders. Stay open to unconventional solutions.

The New Moon falls in sidereal Leo and the lunar mansion Maghā. I call it 'The Mighty One'. Its symbols are a royal throne and crown, which denote power, privilege, and entitlement. It is ruled by the ancestors, who grant us whatever privilege we have. Even when we don't have something we think we should, we feel entitled to complain about it. When this impulse becomes exaggerated, as it will be for this New Moon and subsequent eclipses, powerful figures who misuse their positions are exposed. We could see someone lose their position because of this in the coming months. With Ketu moving through Leo in 2025 and 2026—moving through Maghā in 2026—it strips away entitlements that are not aligned with the greater good (Rāhu in Aquarius). From another, more spiritual perspective, Ketu reminds us that nothing and no one belongs to us. We're just passing through. Everything is eventually taken back, leaving only the unchanging witness within.

Mentorship starts this Saturday! Learn more and enroll here:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠https://www.quietmindastrology.com/mentorship⁠Read Your Big 3 - $47 workshop for free:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠https://www.quietmindastrology.com/big3⁠I'm Jeremy Devens, and over the last 19 years I've looked at thousands of birth charts. But I still remember the first time I opened one and thought: what is this? You might feel that way too. That's why in this episode of Quietmind Astrology, I'll walk you through how to give your very first Vedic astrology reading—even if you're a total beginner.We'll start with your own chart and focus on the Big Three: the Ascendant, the Sun, and the Moon. These three placements are the foundation of readings, and you don't need to memorize hundreds of things to start interpreting them. I'll show you a step-by-step system that makes astrology less overwhelming and more practical.I've created a workshop to guide you through this. It's normally $47, but you can access it free with the link in the show notes. In just 15 minutes, you'll decode your own Big Three and begin seeing patterns that bring your chart to life.Step One: Read your own chart.The letters are the grahas—the Sun, Moon, and planets plus Rahu and Ketu. The numbers are the zodiac signs, not the houses. The Ascendant shows the body and personality. The Moon shows the mood and emotions. The Sun shows vitality and leadership. Start with keywords. Aquarius rising: unique, eccentric, innovative. Moon in Sagittarius: adventurous, philosophical, fun-loving. Sun in Virgo: a leader who thrives on systems and structure. Simple snapshots you can build on.Step Two: Look at public figures.Practice with celebrities, musicians, leaders. Find their Vedic birth time (Astrosage.com is great). Then decode their Big Three. Pisces Ascendant might look dreamy, intuitive, spiritual. A Capricorn Moon can reveal a stable, practical mindset. This way you see how astrology plays out in real life.Step Three: Give your first reading.Start with an interview reading. Ask open-ended questions about their personality, emotions, and leadership. “What is your personality like?” “What was your relationship with your mother like?” “What inspires you most?” You're not proving anything—you're gathering information and building experience.Once you've listened, try leading questions that sound like predictions but invite confirmation: “Do you like to bring harmony to others?” “Was your mom adventurous?” Over time, you'll see patterns across charts. That's when you can confidently move from questions to statements—and people say, “It's like you're telling me my life story.”This path is clear: first your own Big Three, then public figures, then interview readings. From there, astrology becomes a living system, not just memorization. The more you practice, the more accurate you become.Key ideas from this episode:"You need to experience astrology first (read your own chart) before you try to read others charts"“The Ascendant shows the body, the Moon the mood, and the Sun vitality and leadership.”“Instead of memorizing hundreds of things, use the nesting doll system—grahas, then signs, then houses, then nakshatras.”“Your first reading should be an interview, not a monologue.”–––Instagram:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://www.instagram.com/quietmindastrologyYouTube⁠:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://www.quietmindastrology.com/youtubeMentorship:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://www.quietmindastrology.com/mentorshipYoga Teacher Training Podcast: https://www.anchor.fm/yogateachertrainingKeywords: nakshatras, grahas (planets), rashi (zodiac signs), bhavas (houses), jyotish (astrology), yoga (planetary combinations), doshas (afflictions), kundali (birth chart), transits, retrograde, aspects, dasha system, remedies, mantras, shani, chani, chandra, mangala, Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius

Over the past 19 years, I've studied the astrology of thousands of successful people and found patterns you can apply to your own life. In this episode of Quietmind Astrology, I'm breaking down 10 signs of massive wealth in the birth chart, using the case study of Alex Hormozi—who just had a $100 million book launch this past week.We often look at transits or dashas for timing, but in Alex's case, what stands out are the innate qualities in his chart that he's harnessed through discipline and work. These same qualities may be in your chart as well, and today I'll show you how to recognize and apply them.We don't have his exact birth time, but we know his Moon is in Libra, possibly Chitra nakshatra. Using his Moon chart, we see a striking pattern: an overloaded Upachaya house structure—the 3rd, 6th, 10th, and 11th houses. These houses get stronger with time, and planets placed here bring compounding gains. Alex has multiple placements in these houses, showing why his success has scaled.For example, Saturn in the 3rd gives discipline in communication and marketing. Mars in the 6th points to athleticism and relentless daily effort. His 11th house is stacked with Sun, Mercury, and Ketu, making him a community leader, a powerful communicator, and surprisingly detached from money—a classic Ketu-in-11th trait.Another wealth sign is the fifth–ninth house connection. Rahu in the 5th aspects Venus in the 9th, fueling creativity, content, and teaching—exactly what he's built his empire on. Venus in a dharma house (the 9th) brings prosperity through education and sharing wisdom. Combined with Rahu's drive, this creates an unstoppable force for growth and wealth.Alex's Atmakaraka is Mars in Revati, in the 6th house. This shows his soul's path is about discipline, service, and daily effort. It's why so much of his work emphasizes free value and helping others. His Sun as Darakaraka in the 11th highlights the pivotal role of his wife, Layla, who amplifies his leadership and legacy building.What does this mean for you? If you see similar patterns—like strong Upachaya houses, dhana yogas (2 and 11, or 5 and 9 connections), Venus in a dharma house, Rahu in 5 or 11, or your Atmakaraka in 6, 10, or 11—it shows innate wealth potential. These aren't just about luck; they're qualities you can harness through effort, systems, and awareness.This episode isn't just about Alex's chart—it's about how you can decode your own chart to find your gifts for wealth, career, and success. Whether or not you want to make millions, these placements show where effort compounds, how prosperity grows, and how to align with your strengths.By the end of this episode, you'll understand:– Why Upachaya houses (3, 6, 10, 11) are critical for wealth building– How a strong 11th house brings gains through networks and community– Why Venus in dharma houses often shows prosperity through teaching– How Rahu and Ketu placements shape wealth, detachment, and luck– What Atmakaraka in the 6th, 10th, or 11th reveals about your soul's path to successYour chart has wealth indicators too—it's just about learning how to see and apply them.Free Vedic Birth Chart & 15 Minute Workshop To Decode Your Big 3:⁠ http://www.quietmindastrology.com/big3Instagram:⁠ http://www.instagram.com/quietmindastrologyYouTube:⁠ http://www.quietmindastrology.com/youtubeMentorship:⁠ http://www.quietmindastrology.com/mentorshipYoga Teacher Training Podcast: https://www.anchor.fm/yogateachertrainingQuietmind Yoga: https://www.quietmind.yogaKeywords: nakshatras, grahas, rashi, bhavas, jyotish, yoga, doshas, kundali, transits, retrograde, aspects, dasha system, remedies, mantras, shani, chani, chandra, mangala, Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces, Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn

Enrollment closes Friday for the Vedic Astrology Mentorship. Learn more and Enroll at https://www.quietmindastrology.com/mentorshipThe most essential thing to follow Vedic astrology is to have your Vedic birth chart. You can get yours now at quietmindastrology.com/freebirthchart. When you pull it up you'll see a North Indian style chart, and if you scroll down you'll also see the section called Dasha. Those four letters R A S U represent Rahu, Ketu, Sun, Jupiter, etc.—the sequence of dashas, or planetary time periods, that shape your life.Every one of us is on a 120-year timeline of dashas, moving through the nine grahas for a set number of years. Ketu is 7 years, Venus 20, Sun 6, Moon 10, Mars 7, Rahu 18, Jupiter 16, Saturn 19, Mercury 17. Where you enter this cycle depends on the exact degree of your Moon at birth, so accurate birth time really matters. Even a few hours off could shift your starting point.A dasha is like a tree ripening fruit—different fruits ripen at different times in your life. Not all of them ripen in one lifetime, but when they do, you feel those energies fully. To really understand a dasha you look at the whole chart: where that planet is placed, what houses it rules, and the aspects it receives.To bring this alive, we'll look at a real example: Ozzy Osbourne. With respect for his legacy, we can see how his dashas shaped his journey. Born into Venus dasha, with Venus and Ketu in the first house, Ozzy was destined to lose himself in music, relationships, and at times addiction. His Rahu in the 7th showed the pivotal role of his wife Sharon in supporting his career and extending his life.We see his Sun dasha bringing harsh speech and jail time, his Moon dasha launching Black Sabbath and pioneering heavy metal, his Mars dasha fueling chaos and fire in his solo career, and his Rahu dasha taking him into extremes, shocking behavior, and reality TV fame. Later, Jupiter dasha brought recognition and awards, while his final Saturn dasha in Maga Nakshatra highlighted legacy, ancestors, and performing from a throne as health declined.One of the most moving parts of Ozzy's story is how Saturn in Magha gave him a chance to celebrate his legacy at the end of his life—surrounded by peers and fans at his final concert, raising money for charity, closing the circle of his karmic journey. Saturn brings the karmic fruits of a lifetime, and Ozzy's chart shows that beautifully.This episode is a deep dive into how the dasha system works, why accurate birth time matters, and how you can use real-life examples to interpret your own cycles.5 Key Ideas From This Episode:“The most essential thing to follow Vedic astrology is to have your Vedic birth chart.”“Dashas are like a 120-year tree of life—certain fruits ripen at certain times.”“Where you enter the dasha cycle depends on your Moon nakshatra and pada.”“Ozzy's Venus-Ketu in the first house showed losing himself in music and relationships.”“Saturn in Magha brought legacy, recognition, and karmic closure to his life story.”Your dashas show the timing of your life themes—when certain fruits ripen on your tree. This is one of the most powerful ways to understand your chart, your path, and your potential.Free Vedic Birth Chart & Training:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://www.quietmindastrology.com/freebirthchart⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://www.instagram.com/quietmindastrology⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://www.quietmindastrology.com/youtube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Mentorship Waitlist:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://www.quietmindastrology.com/mentorship⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Yoga Teacher Training Podcast:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://www.anchor.fm/yogateachertraining⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Quietmind Yoga:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://www.quietmind.yoga⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Keywords: nakshatras, grahas, rashi, bhavas, jyotish, yoga, doshas, kundali, transits

The Vedic Astrology Mentorship is OPEN for enrollment! ⁠https://www.quietmindastrology.com/mentorship⁠Become a Certified Vedic Astrologer – everything you need to learn astrology in depth, make accurate predictions, and give great readings.This week we enter one of the most powerful turning points of the year with two major transits: the Moon exalted in Taurus and the New Moon in Leo with Ketu, which begins the six-week Eclipse Portal—the second and final eclipse season of 2025. This is a big transformational time, and in this episode I'll guide you through how to work with these shifts in a grounded, practical way.On Sunday, August 17th, the Moon is exalted in Taurus, bringing a nourishing influence. This is a great day for meditation, yoga nidra, massage, aromatherapy, or simply tending to your body and emotions. Exalted Moon days remind us to slow down and do something truly restorative.By Wednesday, August 20th, Venus moves into Cancer, joining Mercury and the Moon. Venus is love, beauty, art, and pleasure. Cancer is nourishment and care. Together, they invite more tenderness into relationships, intimacy, and creativity. It's an excellent time for art, music, dance, and romance. The caution is “comfort spending” as a substitute for addressing deeper needs. If directed consciously, this is excellent energy for self-care and meaningful connection.Then, on Saturday, August 23rd, we step into the Eclipse Portal with the New Moon in Leo conjunct Ketu. New Moons are beginnings, but with Ketu there, it's also about letting go—shedding old ego identities, control, and attachments to who we think we are. The next six weeks are about surrender and preparing for a new timeline. With Rahu in Aquarius opposite, the energy calls us into something bigger: a more global, innovative, and interconnected future.This eclipse cycle asks: What roles, attachments, and identities are you ready to release so you can grow into your next chapter? For some, this may mean changes in career, home, or relationship. For others, it may be a subtle inner shift. Either way, eclipse seasons bring fated opportunities for transformation, especially if you have strong placements in Leo or Aquarius.Astrology gives us perspective on how to navigate these times. Just as the internet reshaped society 30 years ago, AI and financial shifts are reshaping us now. The key is not to get lost in overwhelm, but to reset. Journaling prompts for this eclipse: What am I ready to let go of? What would I keep doing even if no one paid me? Where do I feel most aligned?And if you're ready to go deeper, the Vedic Astrology Mentorship is open now. We begin Saturday, August 23rd on the New Moon. This is where I share everything I've learned in 19 years of practice—thousands of charts, research, and case studies—all in one clear path. You'll learn step by step how to read charts, make accurate predictions, and give great readings with confidence.You'll get direct access to me, live calls, a private WhatsApp group, accountability partners, and my full tables of positive and negative expressions of every placement. Whether you want to give readings professionally or simply deepen your self-understanding, this program gives you a foundation that will last a lifetime.-----Free Vedic Birth Chart & Training:⁠ http://www.quietmindastrology.com/freebirthchartInstagram:⁠ http://www.instagram.com/quietmindastrologyYouTube⁠: http://www.quietmindastrology.com/youtubeMentorship:⁠ http://www.quietmindastrology.com/mentorshipYoga Teacher Training Podcast: https://www.anchor.fm/yogateachertrainingQuietmind Yoga: https://www.quietmind.yoga

Hi everyone! In this segment, we explore the upcoming New Moon in Magha Nakshatra. This asterism is associated with the royal star and is connected to ancestors, dignity, and the sacred responsibility of leadership. With the Sun conjoined Ketu, we may feel fluctuations in our sense of self, moments of ego being challenged, or questions about our personal worth. These energies invite us to soften our grip on titles and recognition, and instead lead from the heart, remembering that true power comes through service to the collective.We also discuss Venus in Cancer, a transit that wraps us in comfort and the desire to nurture our private worlds. This is a beautiful time to slow down, make your home a sanctuary, and savor time with loved ones.Join me as we unpack these cosmic currents — a blend of soul work, humility, and cozy connection — so you can align with this New Moon's call to lead with love and purpose.YOUTUBE:D9 exploration:https://youtu.be/HTgYcjltyasCharacteristics of Your Spouse:https://youtu.be/i_cOvdSbjy0Soulmate Astrologyhttps://youtu.be/ExnDysvjzUwChristine:website: innerknowing.yogainstagram: astrologynow_podcastpatreon: patreon.com/astrologynowpodcast keywords: astrology, jyotish, Vedic astrology, sidereal astrology, nakshatras,  spirituality, Christine Rodriguez, aries, libra, scorpio, libra, capricorn, Nakshatra, new moon, taurus, Venus, Jupiter, Pisces, Spirituality, horoscope, retrograde, eclipse, solar eclipse, new moon, lunar eclipse

The month begins with retrograde Mercury meeting the Sun in mid-Cancer, sparking fresh ideas. However, Mercury remains in review mode until August 11, urging caution in planning—especially as both Mercury and the Sun oppose Pluto.After Mercury turns direct, clarity begins to return, though plans may not fully take shape until after August 25, when Mercury clears its 'shadow'.By mid-month, the Sun enters Leo—its sign—and conjoins Ketu, creating both strength and uncertainty ahead of September's solar eclipse in Virgo. Despite Ketu's transit through Leo in 2025–26, no solar eclipses occur there. The next solar eclipse is a partial one in Virgo (September 2025), followed by a total eclipse in Cancer in August 2026.The last eclipse in Leo—a lunar eclipse at the final degree on March 14 2025—was recently activated by Mars, stirring political scandals. Could this signal the downfall of Trump, or will he remain shielded by the absence of solar eclipses in Leo? Ketu, as always, both reveals and conceals.Mars entered Virgo at the end of July and now opposes retrograde Saturn and Neptune in Pisces. These slow-moving planets hold their degree into 2026, sustaining a mood of disillusionment. Mars' opposition in August and September heightens frustration, as practical tasks feel overwhelming against a backdrop of ongoing collapse.The exact Mars-Saturn opposition on August 9 is also a Full Moon in Saturn's sign, Capricorn, a day to be cautious—better to raise a white flag than escalate tensions.Venus and Jupiter conjoin in Gemini on August 11, just after the Full Moon, increasing the potential to overindulge because of the emotional intensity. Venus enters Cancer on August 20 and opposes Pluto, peaking on August 27. This draws us toward emotional security, possibly through home life or on holiday, even as global unrest remains impossible to ignore.Overall, August is a tense month, where overindulgence is an understandable and likely result. Hidden pressures from Mars and Ketu give way to more visible conflicts, with Neptune blurring the picture, making it harder to define or reach the end goal.

Tune into the astrological trends of August 2025with Kerry's monthly Vedic astrology forecast. Retrograde energy has us spinning and pivoting! Allow things to get messy as you unpack the the deep feelings and find a way to dance through them. Simultaneously, clarity is arising about direction and which parts of your garden to fertilize and water. Read or listen to the full forecast at https://www.planetaryinfluence.com/forecasts/2025/AugNINE PLANETS SUMMARY SUN: The first half of August sees the Sun moving through watery Cancer with retrograde Mercury, pulling us through an emotional environment where we may not be sure what to say or how to express feelings. August 16th, the Sun moves into his own sign of Leo, normally a powerful transit for the Sun. Ketu's presence in Leo challenges leadership and self expression through mid-September while Saturn's aspect brings limitations.MOON: August begins with a waxing Moon that becomes full in Capricorn on August 10th, urging us to slow down and look around as we seek clarity. Through the middle of August, the Moon wanes, joining the Sun in Leo for the new Moon on August 22nd where we take stock, re-set, and prepare to pivot.MARS: Mars is in Virgo for all of August, leading us to take stock and regroup as we move forward deliberately into new campaigns while learning and healing from the sting of recent past lessons.MERCURY: Retrograde Mercury splashes in Cancer through August 10th, when he resumes direct motion and helps us sort our way out of snags. Use the latter part of August to pick up dropped threads, process emotionally, and reorganize communication and organizational tools.JUPITER: Jupiter continues to teach and preach from the streets of urban Gemini, bringing expansive enthusiasm for learning and growing. Until August 20th, Venus joins Jupiter, bringing positive creative energy to the signs of Gemini and Sagittarius.VENUS: Venus, ruler of social responsibility and relationships, joins Jupiter in Gemini through August 20th, urging us to attend to our learning trajectories and business management. When Venus joins Mercury in Cancer on August 20th, our attention may turn toward healing activities, including socializing with our close friends and family.SATURN: Saturn continues to churn and turn in Pisces in retrograde motion, walking us back collectively through the territory he traversed in the spring. This could show up as walking back on some fHello! I'm Kerry Shamblin and I practice jyotisha, also known as Vedic astrology.

Decode Your Birth Chart at https://www.quietmindastrology.com/101Become Your Own Astrologer at https://www.quietmindastrology.com/workshopIt's August 2025 and we're stepping into eclipse season by the end of the month. I'll walk you through all of it in this episode and invite you to join me for some of the most powerful trainings I offer.August 2nd kicks off with the Decode Your Birth Chart workshop — the one to attend if you've ever looked at your chart and thought, “What am I looking at?” I'll show you how to interpret the signs, planets, and houses so you can understand your chart and others' more clearly.August 9th brings the Full Moon in Shravana, Capricorn, an invitation to emotionally process what's unresolved from July's Mercury and Saturn retrogrades. This Full Moon is about listening inward, reviewing your routines, and aligning your day-to-day life with your deeper purpose. Sit in meditation. Listen to nostalgic music. Reassess what's working and what isn't.August 11th marks Mercury Direct in Cancer, but the shadow period continues through the month. During Mercury retrograde it's not a good time for starting new things. Let this time be about emotional catharsis, creative expression, and finishing unfinished business. I've been seeing tech issues, lost files, and missed details — all part of the process. Don't resist it. Laugh at it. Flow with it.August 14th is the Become Your Own Astrologer workshop, where I share the 7 steps to practice astrology skillfully and avoid the misinformation so common in AI and online tools. There's still no AI that's actually trained for Vedic astrology. They're all trained on Western. If you want to read accurate, astronomically based charts, this is where to begin.August 16th, the Sun moves into Leo, its own sign. Now's the time to “step into your power and let it go.” It's paradoxical, but with Ketu in Leo, the fire of personal power is being redirected toward spiritual growth. If you've been asking yourself, “Who am I? Where am I going?” — that's this transit.August 17th, we get a little reprieve with the Moon exalted in Rohini, a great day for self-care, yoga, walks in nature, spa days, or anything Venusian. Ways that you feel like you're taking care of yourself, enjoying life, enjoying the senses — very favorable.August 20th, Venus moves into Cancer, shifting the tone from emotional cleansing in Ardra to emotional nourishment. If the first half of August is about crying and catharsis, the second half is about comfort and connection. Deepen the friendship part of your relationship. If you're single and looking to date, the second half of August is quite nice.”Watch for overindulgence or overwhelm, but lean into creating beauty, intimacy, and play.August 23rd opens the Eclipse Portal, beginning with a New Moon in Leo (Magha) — this is when everything shifts. You go into it one way, you come out another way. This is a powerful time to reflect on your identity, your lineage, and what you're here to change. It's no coincidence the Vedic Astrology Mentorship begins the same day. If you've been practicing astrology by listening to this podcast, you're already an astrology practitioner. Now it's time to go deeper.August 30th, Mercury enters Leo, completing its post-retrograde cycle and bringing clarity, creativity, and spiritual communication. You'll feel this especially if you're studying astrology, personal development, or any self-awareness practice. You'll be ready to move forward with new awareness and clear thinking again.5 Key Ideas• “Feel it so you can heal it”• “Step into your power… and let it go” — Sun and Ketu in Leo are asking for humble strength.• “If you're listening to this, you are practicing astrology”• “We all get the same 168 hours a week. How do you want to use that time?” — Use the Full Moon to reflect.• “Find your gifts and give them away” — That's your purpose, and that's what this month is about.

July is yet another month of intensity and confusion as Mars and Ketu near their exact conjunction degree, Saturn and Neptune retrograde at 7 degrees of Pisces, AND Mercury retrogrades. In todays segment, we explore how to use the energy of Mars and Ketu to better support our lives and avoid unnecessary conflict. This combination can be used for GOOD when approached appropriately. Saturn and Neptune go retrograde, bringing blurring lines to our boundaries and discernment. This is a time of turning inwards, reflecting, and tapping into the Guru within, as opposed to outsourcing all of our guidance. There is an essence of uncertainty for the collective, and we may experience it in our personal lives as well. Kala Sarpa will be broken later this month, releasing heat and allowing for necessary reprieve. Though this month is yet another month of intense energy, there IS a path forward that can be graceful, courageous, and clear. Learn more here. We cover: July 4th - Neptune retrograde at 7 degrees of Pisces July 10th: Full Moon at 24 degrees of Sagittarius July 12: Saturn retrogrades at 7 degrees of Pisces - both Neptune and Saturn. Notice your birth chart. This is certainly a time to watch out for natural disasters, oil, water as mentioned. “Hidden enemies”, illusions, trying to ascertain the truth. Pisces is endings. Deep seated secrets coming to light.Sun in Cancer July 16 - August 16thJuly 17th: Mercury retrograde at 21 degrees of Cancer - may be a more intense Mercury retrograde with the lunar phases + aspecting Pluto. Domestic matters, economy, wealth, role in tech (until august 11)July 20th: Mars conjunct Ketu at 25 degrees of LeoJuly 21: Kala Sarpa BrokenJuly 24th: New Moon at 7 degrees of Cancer - the homeland, opposing Pluto, safety, security, nourishment. July 28th: Mars enters Virgo - health related issues almost always YOUTUBE:Mars + Ketuhttps://youtu.be/J_gnbbOmqe8D9 exploration:https://youtu.be/HTgYcjltyasCharacteristics of Your Spouse:https://youtu.be/i_cOvdSbjy0Soulmate Astrologyhttps://youtu.be/ExnDysvjzUwChristine:website: innerknowing.yogainstagram: astrologynow_podcastpatreon: patreon.com/astrologynowpodcast keywords: astrology, jyotish, Vedic astrology, sidereal astrology, nakshatras,  spirituality, Christine Rodriguez, aries, libra, scorpio, libra, capricorn, Nakshatra, new moon, taurus, Venus, Jupiter, Pisces, Spirituality, horoscope, retrograde, eclipse, solar eclipse, new moon, lunar eclipse

Last week to book a 1-1 reading with me for this season at https://www.quietmindastrology.com/readingIt's July 2025, and we are officially at the midpoint of the year. This is the time to pause, reflect, and realign with your deeper truth and long-term vision. In this episode, I go deep into the energy of the July transits—from Neptune and Saturn turning retrograde in Pisces, to the fiery Full Moon in Sagittarius, to the more grounded shift of Mars into Virgo at the end of the month.This is also a powerful time to get clarity on what's next for you. That's why I'm offering Mid-Year Clarity Readings again—something I only do once a year. Last year they sold out, so if you're feeling called to make a shift, get your chart read, or understand your timing more deeply, go to ⁠quietmindastrology.com/readings⁠ to book before this offer expires on Monday July 7th. We cover all 10 major transits this month, including:July 2: Calendar midpoint of the year—ideal for stillness, journaling, and reflection.July 5: Neptune retrograde begins in Uttara Bhadrapada—spiritual reflection, compassion, or escapism?July 10: Full Moon in Purva Ashadha, Sagittarius—nurturing joy, truth, and adventure.July 13: Saturn retrograde in Pisces—revisiting boundaries, managing fear, and reestablishing practices.July 16: Sun in Cancer—emotional leadership, nurturing, sensitivity, and boundaries.July 18: Mercury retrograde in Cancer—sentimental reflection, emotional conversations, and miscommunication.July 21: Moon exalted in Taurus—emotional nourishment, connection, and resistance to change.July 24: New Moon in Pushya—emotional intention setting, deep healing, and aligning with how you want to feel.July 26: Venus enters Gemini—playfulness, creativity, distraction, and vata management.July 28: Mars enters Virgo—taking grounded, practical action with disciplined focus.I also dive into how Mars and Ketu in Leo have created intense energy that's finally resolving by the end of the month.Key takeaways:— Jupiter, Saturn, Rahu & Ketu are setting the themes of your life—check the archives for deep dives on each.— Neptune retrograde through the end of the year invites you to discern illusion from intuition.— Saturn retrograde reminds you to refine your emotional regulation, commitments, and boundaries.— Mercury retrograde in Cancer is great for reviewing old journals, healing conversations, and sentimental memories.— Venus in Gemini can bring joyful creativity—but also overwhelm. Focus your attention wisely.— Mars in Virgo is the real reset point—time to organize, prioritize and take action.5 Key Quotes from the Episode:“The sun standing still at the solstice reminds us to pause and realign. Take five minutes of stillness. That alone can be powerful.”“Neptune retrograde is less about escape and more about returning to spiritual clarity. What illusions are you ready to shed?”“You don't need to do all 15 things on your to-do list—just do the most important one, with full focus.”“The emotional scale is one of the most helpful tools I've found. Anger can actually be progress if you've been stuck in depression.”“What you really want isn't the thing—it's the feeling. The more you nurture that feeling now, the more you align with it.”–Free Weekly Horoscopes & Exclusive offers: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://www.quietmindastrology.com/freehoroscopes⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Free Vedic Birth Chart & Training:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://www.quietmindastrology.com/freebirthchart⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://www.instagram.com/quietmindastrology⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://www.quietmindastrology.com/youtube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Mentorship Waitlist:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://www.quietmindastrology.com/mentorship⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

As Mars approaches Ketu in Leo, Saturn and Neptune station retrograde in close conjunction, signalling the potential collapse of major structures and the beginning of reform. We've already seen some major catastrophic events that reflect this combination. There are likely more to follow as Mars and Ketu edge closer together throughout July.Personally, this is a time of reinvention and breakthroughs. If you're trying to hold onto the way things were, you're ‘bucking the current'. Go with the flow with all of your might!Saturn's retrograde with Neptune in Pisces urges surrender, while Mars and Ketu ignite more anger and destructive impulses. Managing these intense energies is tricky. One is asking you to let go, while the other asks you to take action. These two separate impulses do not line up comfortably with one another. And yet, we must all find ways to be okay with not knowing for sure if the action we take will reap the rewards we hope for.Yet, we must act, as attempting to sit on Mars right now will only lead to more problems. Yet still, try not to fall into the other extreme, where you end up overdoing it and causing a different set of problems. Use what Mars and Ketu are both good for; that is, getting rid of problems.Globally, however, we're likely to see an escalation in attacks and the beginning of major problems. We may also see more extreme seismic activity that grabs the world's attention, adding to the many volcanoes that have already been set off.At least we have Venus in Taurus to offer some sense of comfort while all of this is going on. Yet its conjunction with Uranus, exact on July 4, may bring disruption, especially for the U.S. birthday. Also, Venus in Taurus squares Mars in Leo, which means we are likely conflicted about anything we're enjoying when we see so many shocking events.Later in the month, as Mars and Ketu get closer together, building in intensity all the while, Mercury stations retrograde on July 18, urging care in communication as emotions run high.The Sun then opposes Pluto on July 25 and adds further volatility, highlighting power struggles in governments, just as Mars and Ketu have reached their peak. Expect a major incident around this time or in the lead-up to it.Venus moves into Gemini by July 26, while Mars' shift into Virgo by July 27 brings continued pressure to systems that are just about ready to give in. That's because Mars in Virgo opposes Saturn conjunct Neptune in Pisces, demanding more precise action to address the crumbling system.Total and utter reform is the only possible outcome. However, how we get there involves a longer and more winding road than we had imagined.

Venus and Uranus conjunct in sidereal Taurus sparks revelations in love, beauty, money, and creativity. There can be sudden and unexpected meetings or discovery in regards to love and intimacy. There can also be sudden downloads or creative insight!At the same time, Mercury in Cancer opposes Pluto in Capricorn, pulling hidden truths to the surface. Expect intense conversations, mental breakthroughs, or power struggles. And with the Moon in fiery Leo, joined by Mars and Ketu, emotions run hot and fiery. Learn how to harness this energy without burning bridges, and how to use these transits for empowerment.Join me as we explore:Realizations in love or sudden and unexpected developments with Venus-UranusThe intense (yet transformative) mental landscape with Mercury-PlutoThe brewing fire of the Moon joining Mars-Ketu✨ Perfect for those navigating emotional intensity, seeking clarity in relationships, or ready to shake up old paradigms and step into authenticity.

On Friday, June 20th, we arrive at the June Solstice, the spiritual energetic midpoint of the year. And just a couple weeks later on July 2nd, we hit the actual calendar middle of 2025. This is a powerful time to pause and reflect—not just on how far you've come this year, but on who you're becoming.It's been a transformational year already. If you've felt that too, you're not alone. We've had major transits of Saturn, Jupiter, Rahu, and Ketu—all the big movers—and I've shared in-depth episodes and free guides for each of those. You can find them in the past episodes.For me, 2025 has been a year of deep growth, healing, and expansion. There's been a lot of yang intensity—Mars and Ketu conjunct from June to July—and that's shown up globally, and maybe in your own life too. It's a powerful time, especially if you've got a lot of Aries or Scorpio energy in your chart.We started the year with a major wave of Venus in Pisces, beginning January 27th. That exalted Venus energy touched everything from romance to art to spiritual alignment. Then, we had a rare Venus retrograde in Pisces from March 2nd to April 13th—offering a deep review of what we love, what we're committed to, and what unfinished relational business we might need to clean up.That overlapped with eclipse season in March—including a powerful Lunar Eclipse in Leo on March 13th (identity shifts, ego death, soul expression) and a Solar Eclipse on March 29th, which coincided with Saturn entering Pisces. That was the single biggest day of the year: 7 planets in Pisces! This marked the beginning of a whole new era—a two-and-a-half-year cycle of dissolving old structures and following your intuition more deeply.March through April was full of Pisces energy, including a Mercury retrograde, so a lot of review, reflection, and redefinition was happening. Then in April, the Sun moved into Aries, signaling the start of new beginnings and forward movement. And we've been in this yang momentum ever since.Now, as we reach the Solstice—the sun standing still—we pause. This is a sacred window to reflect on what's changed, what you've outgrown, and where you want to go next. Especially with Mars and Ketu still conjunct, and Venus newly in Aries, it's a time to notice where new beginnings are emerging in relationships and purpose.In this episode, I guide you through 7 self-reflection prompts to help you anchor this midpoint:What were your intentions or theme for the start of 2025?What has actually manifested—and what fell away?What lessons did the March eclipses bring you?Where have you outgrown roles, beliefs, relationships, or identities?What would feel nourishing and supportive in the second half of 2025?How is your body feeling now?What's alive in your heart as you look back on this year so far?If you want to go deeper, I'm offering limited 1-on-1 astrology readings between now and August before the next Vedic Astrology Mentorship class starts. You can schedule at quietmindastrology.com/readingLooking ahead, here's a quick preview of what's coming in the second half of 2025:— July: Mercury retrograde (review communication & business plans)— September: Eclipse season returns (another karmic portal)— October–November: Jupiter dips into Cancer (a beautiful, heart-opening window)— December: End-of-year Solstice + Jupiter goes retrogradeThank you for being here.

Free Full Moon Yoga Class: https://www.quietmindastrology.com/june2025Enroll in the Quietmind Yoga Teacher Training https://www.quietmind.yoga/yttIt is June 9th, 2025 and that Yang energy is coming on pretty strong. You feel it? Maybe you're seeing it in world events. Maybe you're feeling it in your body or your relationships. Personally, I've been riding that Mars and Aries wave with a lot of energy, creativity, and productivity—especially since I've got a lot of Aries in my chart. But wherever Mars is in your chart, you're going to feel it. That's why I always say: know your birth chart. You can get it free at quietmindastrology.com, and start to understand exactly where these transits are showing up for you.This week, we're coming off a series of major planetary shifts, and the only major transit now is the Full Moon in Jyeshta Nakshatra in Scorpio on June 10th (technically just past midnight PT). So it's a powerful moment for completion, culmination, and deep integration. In this episode, I go deep into how to work with this energy—because it's intense. Scorpio is ruled by Mars, and Mars is conjunct Ketu all through June and July, which adds this edge of heat, volatility, and potential for big transformation or big blowups.Jyeshta energy is great for protection, responsibility, deep research, and spiritual inquiry. It's the energy of going beyond surface-level distractions to get to the core of things—whether that's your yoga practice, your relationship dynamics, or the truths you're uncovering in meditation. And if you're seeing stuff in the news, or having strong reactions to others, I invite you to pause and ask: What is this showing me about myself? That's a very Jyeshta question—going into the shadows, not looking away.But there's a dark side too—manipulation, secrecy, control, infidelity, overindulgence. This isn't a week to bury your head in the sand. But it's also not a week to rush into intense conversations either—Mars and Ketu energy can explode if not directed intentionally. Instead, I encourage you to journal, reflect, and take a beat before confronting anything high-stakes. This is not the time for passive energy—it's time for action, but action with clarity.If you're feeling extra sensitive—especially around emotions or hormonal shifts—that's normal too. The Moon in Scorpio brings that deep emotional undercurrent to the surface. So be gentle, but firm. This is a great week for movement, physical activity, deep house cleaning, and focused work. Not so great for escapism, numbing out, or spiritual bypassing.Also! I'm offering a free live Full Moon yoga class on Tuesday, June 10. We'll do movement, meditation, and reflection to help work with this energy in the body. You'll find the link to register in the show notes. Come join us—no cost, just an opportunity to channel all this intensity into clarity.And if you're hearing this before Friday, June 13th, you've got just a few days left to join the Quietmind Yoga Teacher Training. This is the 9th time I'm offering it and I've gone through and completely revised the whole thing. We go into 108 asanas, essential pranayama, mantra, mudra, functional anatomy, and everything you need to become a confident, skillful teacher—or to deepen your own practice. Even if you don't think you'll teach, it's a profound growth process.

The Full Moon in Scorpio, in the lunar mansion Jyeṣṭhā, marks a powerful time of transformation. With Mars transiting Leo and conjunct Ketu, this Full Moon squares the lunar nodes in Leo and Aquarius, activating all fixed signs.Scorpio prepares you for what lies ahead. As Mars nears Ketu, some disruption is likely. The best advice? Prepare for the worst, hope for the best. This Full Moon, at the final degrees of Scorpio, ushers in endings, clearing space before the Moon enters Sagittarius. There is much to fear, but also much to hope for.Significant and lasting changes may unfold—some driven by dread, others offering a chance to overcome personal fears. This lunation intensifies the approaching Mars–Ketu conjunction and Mars' aspect to Saturn and Neptune in Pisces. Meanwhile, Saturn and Jupiter form an exact square, heightening tension between responsibility and idealism, creating a sense of sober anticipation.The ideal response is the middle path—the quiet centre between hope and fear. Booms and busts may follow, even if only in the mind. The zodiacal shift from Scorpio to Sagittarius represents the middle path. Let go of what clouds your judgment so that you can step into Sagittarius with a greater vision.

Hi everyone! Today we are discussing one of the heated moments of 2025... Though I suppose it seems we've had a lot of those this year. Covid, 9/11, the beginning of escalation between Israel and Palestine - Mars and Ketu were conjunct in every incident. Mars and Ketu are notorious for stirring controversy and bringing about dangerous accidents or attacks. From mountaineering accidents to sting ray tragedies - we see this combination again and again act as a catalyst. How can WE best move through this time with grace?In addition to Mars/Ketu, we will see Saturn and Neptune conjunct in the same degree. We have already seen a terrible oil spill off the coast of Kerala, let's hope that there is nothing else like this! We further discuss transits and what to anticipate.

Free Karmic Nodes Horoscope for your Rising/Moon signs: https://www.quietmindastrology.com/karma2025Every 18 years, Rahu and Ketu return to the Aquarius/Leo axis. And every time, there's this deep invitation to evolve — to shed the ego-driven patterns that no longer serve, and step into something more authentic, aligned, and future-focused. In this episode, I walk you through exactly what this karmic shift is about from a Vedic astrology perspective — not just the signs and dates, but what it feels like to live through it.Rahu in Aquarius brings this hunger for connection, innovation, and breaking out of the box — but that hunger can also lead to burnout, hyper-individualism, or being pulled into trends that don't actually align with who we are. And then there's Ketu in Leo, quietly pulling us back from center stage, helping us release the need to be “the one” — the performer, the leader, the persona we've been clinging to.These next 18 months (May 29, 2025 – November 24, 2026) are all about recalibrating that tension between belonging and expression, spotlight and service, recognition and authenticity.This episode covers:- What Rahu and Ketu really mean in your chart — not just intellectually but energetically- Why this transit is a karmic echo of 2006–2008, 1988–1989, and earlier- The deeper invitation to realign with your soul path — without needing to perform or prove anything- How to work with this energy personally and collectively- A free guide you can download with rising/moon sign horoscopesThis is a rare opportunity to step off the stage, shed the layers that feel performative or ego-based, and ask: What's really calling me forward now? What role is no longer mine to play?It's not about disappearing. It's about re-emerging aligned.✨ 5 Key Ideas from the Episode- “This is a cycle of ego death — and not in a scary way, but in a liberating way.”- “Ketu in Leo is asking us to let go of being the main character. You don't have to perform your dharma. Just live it.”- “Rahu in Aquarius wants innovation, but it can lead us to lose ourselves in the noise of the collective if we're not grounded.”- “These are the moments when life says: You don't need to be validated. You need to be aligned.”- “Look at what was happening in your life during 2006–2008. You're revisiting that karmic thread now — but from a higher level.”

Enrollment is open for one more week to the Quietmind Yoga Teacher Training at https://www.quietmind.yoga/ytt Overview (00:00)In this episode, I share about the rare astrological alignments happening in 2025–2026 and how they haven't happened since 597 BCE, 258 CE, and 1171 CE—times that brought massive cultural and spiritual transformation. I talk about how these past cycles were times of collapse and realignment, where the soul was forced to let go of structures and titles and instead return to truth and purpose. These pivotal times offer us a choice: align with dharma or cling to the drama. I also offer practices for how to navigate this era creatively and spiritually.Jupiter, Saturn, Rahu, and Ketu are creating a significant transit that occurs in approximately 900-year cyclesCompared 2020 transit to the 1373 transit that coincided with the Black PlagueHistorical Patterns and Collapse (01:33 - 04:44)Major theme: 'The soul survives the collapse'597 BC: Babylon Empire took over Jerusalem, destroyed temples, ended monarchy258 CE: Roman Empire fractured, currency collapsed, Christians persecuted1171: English invasion of Ireland, end of Islamic rule, shifts in European power2025: Predicted massive changes in structures and systems due to AISpiritual Realignment (04:44 - 07:44)Historical examples showed spiritual adaptation after systemic collapseJudaism transformed beyond temples to prayer and texts after 597 BCIn 2025, people will need to reevaluate spiritual paths and systemic structuresSaturn in Pisces represents restructuring of spiritual boundariesKetu in Leo represents dissolving of ego and challenging leadershipInnovation Through Pressure (07:44 - 13:28)Historical examples of innovation born from necessity during times of change597 BC: Judaism adapted by compiling teachings into texts258 CE: Christians created underground networks and house churches1171: Reform, trade and resilience evolved under political upheaval2025-2026: Predicted renaissance of creativity and innovation through AI toolsI've already been refining my own teaching materials and have found it super inspiring!️ Dharma vs. Drama (13:28 - 18:16)Central message: Choose alignment (dharma) over drama during times of changeViktor Frankl's book title 'Nevertheless Say Yes to Life' is a great example of this energy.Ego-led rulers historically fell during these transitsStructures built on ego will likely change in 2025-2026Dharmic living (alignment) produces flow and synchronicity, like being in an aligned yoga pose.Adharmic living (misalignment) produces tension and frustration, like being misaligned in a yoga pose.

Tune into the astrological trends of June 2025 with Kerry's monthly Vedic astrology forecast. With all of the planets in forward motion and set in their new spots, we feel momentum building and invitations to plant seeds and foster growth.NINE PLANETS SUMMARY SUN: The Sun keeps our focus on relationships, business, family, and communications in June. The first two weeks of June, the Sun finishes shining in Taurus, moves to Gemini on June 14th and joins Jupiter, firing up the big, warm growth engine through mid-July.MOON: The Moon is waxing in early June coming into its full point on June 11th in the intuitive sign of Scorpio, bringing inner clarity that may not translate to logical reasoning. As June progresses, the waning Moon urges us to find quiet time during busy days. Pause fully at the new Moon in Gemini which joins the Sun and Jupiter on June 25th.MARS: Mars finally blazes out of debilitation in Cancer on June 6th, where he gathers strength and strategy for a powerful Leo transit through July. While we may feel ready to hit the road at full speed, we may encounter obstacles that make us think again due to Ketu's obstructive presence in Leo. Plan ahead for potential frustration to have a proper outlet valve.MERCURY: Mercury is on the bounce in June, spanning three signs; the first week of June, Mercury is happy in Taurus. June 6 – 22, Mercury is ecstatic in Gemini joining Jupiter, and from June 22 onward through the summer, Mercury is found in Cancer. The first few weeks of June are great for organizing, multitasking, learning, and having fun!JUPITER: Jupiter is setting up his new classroom as he moves through the early degrees of Gemini, receiving visits from Sun and Mercury during June. The main thing to watch is the mutual aspect of Jupiter and Rahu which is creating a rapid rise enviroment in all of the air signs: Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius. Watch what you wish for!VENUS: Venus spends most of June in Aries, feeling the heat and getting primed for a productive time in the studio once she moves into Taurus on June 29th. This is passionate energy that can be harnessed for new projects and collaborations. June is for gathering materials, July is for creating with them.SATURN: Saturn alone remains in the watery expanse of Pisces after the dramatic events of the Spring. While most of our consciousness is on board with our new directions, realize that there is a deep process occuring beneath the waves, inviting us to integrate the lessons that have come our way over the past couple decadesHello!

In this segment, we discuss the main transits of June and how to best navigate them on a global and personal level... June is one of the most intense months of 2025 and it is important to understand the cosmic energy so that we can have more awareness and navigate with intelligence. This is a month where Mars is finally out of debilitation - offering energy, will power, and courage. However, with the addition of Ketu, we need to be mindful to avoid excessive risk and to use our energy wisely. Venus in Aries offers redemption with light hearted play, connection, and a free spirit...Find out more about June here!TRANSITSVenus will be in Aries until June 29thMercury in Gemini: June 6th - June 22ndMars in Leo: June 6th - July 28thFull Moon in Scorpio on June 11Saturn and Neptune at 7 degrees of Pisces: June 14th - August 12thSun in Gemini: June 14th - July 16thUranus Square Mars: June 14thNew Moon in Gemini: June 25thJupiter Combust: June9th - July 9thYOUTUBE:Mars + Ketu https://youtu.be/J_gnbbOmqe8D9 exploration: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://youtu.be/HTgYcjltyas⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Characteristics of Your Spouse: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://youtu.be/i_cOvdSbjy0⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Soulmate Astrology⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://youtu.be/ExnDysvjzUw⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Christine:website: innerknowing.yogainstagram: astrologynow_podcastpatreon: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠patreon.com/astrologynowpodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ keywords: astrology, jyotish, Vedic astrology, sidereal astrology, nakshatras,  spirituality, Christine Rodriguez, aries, libra, scorpio, libra, capricorn, Nakshatra, new moon, taurus, Venus, Jupiter, Pisces, Spirituality, horoscope, retrograde, eclipse, solar eclipse, new moon, lunar eclipse

Venus enters Aries on 31 May, and Mars moves from Cancer into Leo on 6 June, joining Ketu. These transits begin to heat things up, potentially triggering political and/or economic upheaval due to some sort of attack or natural disaster.Saturn and Neptune move closer together, indicating further destabilisation, perhaps because of a major attack and conflict indicated by Mars and Ketu. There's likely some sense of disappointment and sadness that sweeps through the world. Whatever happens, the knock-on effect may lead to some necessary changes.The Mars-Ketu meeting in fiery Leo may result in a major attack on a world leader, for example. But it may also show a leader themselves starting an attack. Expect increased risks of water-related disasters, revolutions, terrorism, and cyber warfare. Rising summer temperatures could intensify both climatic events and violent incidents around the world.While this brings disruptions to the world beginning in June, because Mars moves into an opposition to Saturn and Neptune in August, the intensity doesn't let up for some time. Yet, it also creates opportunities to reshape everything. This could lead to profound personal breakthroughs that allow you to see yourself and what you're capable of in a whole new light.Despite the potential global turmoil, the next few months hold promise for renewal once the old makes way for the new.By mid-June, the Sun aligns with Mercury and Jupiter in Gemini, marking a period of more mental stimulation and excitability. Jupiter's aspect to the north node in Aquarius increases this as well, fuelling more protests and maybe even a revolution. As outdated structures collapse, reflect carefully on what you wish to happen next.Once Jupiter makes its way to Cancer by October, it offers a more hopeful preview of what's to come in 2026. Focus on making the most of your resources to build the life you truly want. If everything else is falling apart, why not take advantage of the flux and dream up something completely new?As Saturn and Neptune come together for the first time since 1989, it's time to dream up a new reality, while being mindful of what was only ever going to be a fantasy.While it may begin to feel like a come down for some dream that is more obviously not possible from June, it lends itself to creating something from what is possible.The more you engage with what is, the more likely you'll build something out of the ruins of what is no longer.

Hi everyone! Change is amongst us! Do you feel the shift?According to the True Node system, Rahu and Ketu will change signs on May 29, 2025.

Send us a textIn this episode of Third Eye Roll, Dr. Justine Lemos and Scarlett Trillia decode the cosmic weirdness of Ketu's transit through Leo, a moment dripping in spiritual paradox and karmic unraveling. Ketu—Vedic astrology's South Node and master of detachment—crashes into Leo's glam, spotlight-loving stage, and things get... existential.Together, they explore how this transit stirs past life karma, triggers ego death, and asks us to give up the performance in favor of presence. Mythic storytelling meets cultural commentary with iconic references from Grey Gardens to The Royal Tenenbaums, and a WTF-worthy retelling of the ancient tale of Chyavana, the decomposing yogi who chose stillness over stardom.Expect irreverent wisdom, ancient insights, and practical tools for spiritual detox. Let your old self fade into the forest, babe—it's Ketu's show now.

Hello everyone! I am traveling, didn't get a microphone in time, and thus... We have no new content this week! Which, as it turns out, is blessing in disguise! I published this podcast originally in 2022 and it's near and dear to my heart. Dr. Foss has inspired my work and my life in many ways (and continues to do so) and I am so grateful to share, again, his interview... In case you missed it (: _______________________________________________________This week we spend more time exploring relationship, compatibility, and synastry in Vedic Astrology - with one of my favorite teachers, Dr. Andrew Foss.As Dr. Foss mentions in the segment, life is complex! Therefore it only makes sense that astrology and synastry can be equally as complicated as we learn to decode the stars. Dr. Foss shares practical ways to utilize Vedic Astrology and spirituality that can help us better understand compatibility between charts and synergy between people. In our conversation, we also explore how to view and approach relationship in a way that promotes overall healing, understanding, and compassion in connection. Finally, we discuss karmic connections, Rahu, Ketu, and what "binds us" in love. Dr. Foss is the president of the British Association for Vedic Astrology as well at the author of Yoga of the Planets. Dr. Foss has also developed the software Jyotistar which is available at his website: https://www.vedicsoftware.comI am so endlessly grateful to Dr. Foss, his knowledge, his kindness, and his generosity that allowed time with us today. Dr. Foss: Website: https://www.vedicsoftware.comBook: https://www.yogaoftheplanets.comJyotistar: https://www.vedicsoftware.comHear horoscopes weekly on Patreon:patreon.com/astrologynowpodcastWork with Christine:innerknowing.yogaastrologynowpodcast@gmail.cominstagram: astrologynow_podacstkeywords: astrology, jyotish, Vedic astrology, sidereal astrology, nakshatras,  spirituality, Christine Rodriguez, aries, libra, scorpio, libra, capricorn, Nakshatra, new moon, taurus, Venus, Jupiter, Pisces, Spirituality, horoscope, retrograde, Dr. Andrew Foss

RSVP for free to "Become Your Own Yoga Teacher" at https://www.quietmind.yoga/workshopThink back to March of this year. What changed for you? What started unraveling or accelerating? March was the biggest month of 2025 so far—but now May is here, and it's the second biggest month of the year. It's not just about the moment. This month sets the stage for the next 18 months of your life and prepares the soil for the September eclipse season, the October stabilizing shifts, and the long game of 2026.In this episode of the Quietmind Astrology Podcast, I walk you through every major transit of May 2025—with a focus on how to actually work with the energy, not just know about it.

In this segment we discuss the major transits for May 2025. We discuss the Gaelic holiday Beltane, and how we can use this energy to leverage a fresh start and rebirth. Jupiter and the Karmic Nodes are on the move this month as we prepare for a grand pivot globally and personally. The transits we discuss: May 4th Pluto retrogrades at 9 degrees of CapricornMay 12th: Full Moon in Vishakha nakshatra May 14th: Jupiter enters Gemini May 26th: New Moon in Rohini May 29th: Rahu enters Aquarius and Ketu in LeoLate May: Saturn nears Neptune in Uttara Bhadrapada - This is a very big combination that will impact oil, gas, water.

Mercury moves out of debilitation by May 6, leaving Venus behind in Pisces. Venus's exaltation can now be enjoyed without feeling overwhelmed by trying to work out all the details. Mercury in Pisces may have taken the sheen off an exalted Venus, possibly through things not working out as planned. Nothing like something going wrong to bring down the mood!With the Sun now also exalted in Aries, we can begin to feel more confident in the direction our life is taking, with Mercury in Aries more determined to plan, while Venus in Pisces can enjoy the whole process.On May 14, Jupiter leaves Taurus and enters Gemini, which is a major shift of focus and search for meaning. The downside of this is looking for meaning where we only find a lot of information, leaving us searching for something beyond ‘facts'.With Saturn and Neptune in Pisces now moving into a square aspect to Jupiter in Gemini, the need for more information is likely to increase misinformation. Jupiter is moving swiftly through Gemini, increasing unproductive debates that skip over the details; something we must return to by the end of the year. Jupiter clears Gemini in just five months by October 18, before it returns to Gemini by December 6, bringing us back to the drawing board.The Sun enters Taurus by May 13, with Mercury joining the Sun by May 23. This shows more potential for mental stability, just in time, as Rahu enters Aquarius and Ketu moves into Leo on May 14 (mean node) or May 29 (true node), depending on the lunar node calculation. Together with Jupiter in Gemini, lots of new information is likely to lead to a big shake-up.The nodes moving signs are a big change in May, where unconscious drives dictate the trajectory behind the scenes. This signals global shifts and potential uprisings, as Rahu in Aquarius emphasises rebellions, while Ketu in Leo rejects authority. Jupiter in Gemini keeps an eye on Rahu in Aquarius, fuelling revolutions. Without hope for something better, revolutions do not happen. This comes via Jupiter's ingress into Cancer by October, but it is only a brief glimpse into what is possible by next year, once Jupiter returns here in June 2026.As all the visible planets align on one side of the lunar nodes through July, a yoga or combination called kālsarpa, more extremes are possible. This combination occurs every two weeks from the end of April, as and when the Moon joins the visible planets, creating more extreme imbalances. This shows a more divisive atmosphere and turnabouts we hadn't planned, making everything feel slippery, more fated and unpredictable.Jupiter's aspect to Rahu asks us to disregard any media that presents untruths, especially while Rahu continues to overshadow Pisces with Saturn and Neptune, which get closer throughout the summer. Saturn remains closely tied to Rahu in Pisces throughout May, until it moves into Aquarius, further challenging our perceptions of what we think is possible or true.Kālsarpa is likely to make everything feel impossible or a given, with no in-between or much balance when things go through such extremes.

This is one of the most auspicious weeks of the whole year — a very special sacred day is happening alongside a New Moon and an exalted Moon.The week kicks off with the New Moon in Bharani Nakshatra in Aries — a fresh start, new beginnings, and a great time for planting seeds. Both literally and metaphorically. Planting seeds, cutting hair, setting intentions — it's all extremely favorable under this New Moon.But the big event this week is Akshaya Tritiya on Wednesday, April 30th — considered the most auspicious day of the entire year in the Vedic tradition. Whatever you do on this day is believed to have infinite blessings going forward. It's a powerful day for donation, service, and setting intentions for the kind of life you want to create.I encourage you to use this energy intentionally:✨ Want more prosperity? Donate or serve others.✨ Want more freedom? Give yourself spaciousness that day.✨ Want more self-care? Schedule a massage, a nourishing meal, a day of relaxation.I'll walk you through a simple Ideal Life Visualization practice you can do this week. Just 10 minutes to imagine waking up in your dream life: where you are, who you're with, what you do throughout your day. This practice changed my life — it took years, but I eventually manifested a life even better than what I visualized: living by the ocean in Mexico, doing work I love with amazing people like you.The Moon will also be exalted in Rohini Nakshatra on April 29th — a double dose of fertile, creative, nurturing energy. It's a beautiful window to do self-care, create art, spend time in nature, romance, music, and sensory nourishment.There's a lot of dreamy Pisces energy this week too: Mercury, Neptune, Venus, Saturn, and Rahu are all still in Pisces. Perfect for imagination, spiritual exploration, and dreamwork. Pay attention to your dreams this week — even the ones that seem random might have profound messages. (I'll share my best tip for recording and interpreting your dreams easily using ChatGPT!)Plus, we're nearing some major cosmic shifts:Jupiter is wrapping up its transit through Taurus.Rahu and Ketu are about to change signs too.We're ending the cycle of Ketu in Virgo and Rahu in Pisces, which means now is a time to review what you've learned about spiritual surrender and releasing control.Mars is still debilitated in Cancer — not the best time for pushing yourself physically to extremes but a great time for nurturing, protection, and service. Therapeutic yoga, massage, volunteering — these things are beautifully supported now.And Pluto in Capricorn continues to ask us to transform the deep structures of our lives. I'll share why working on your subconscious beliefs now is incredibly potent — and how astrology, yoga, family constellations, and therapy can support this inner transformation.Five Key Quotes from the Episode:

That's how your natal chart is cast. It tells you about the karmas playing out throughout your life. But that's not the end of the story.Every year on your birthday, the sky realigns in a special way, giving you a new chart for that year, called the Varshphal chart (also known as the solar return or annual chart).

Whether you're getting a reading from me or anyone else, these five insights will help you understand the year ahead much more clearly.Here's what I cover in this episode:The Annual Chart (Varshphal)A snapshot of the sky at the exact date and time of your birth—but this year. The Ascendant sets the tone. The Muntha PointMy favorite part of the annual chart. It moves one sign every year from your birth, and acts like an ascendant for the year. If it's in Cancer? Focus on family, compassion, and emotional depth. If it's in Aries? New beginnings and fire energy. Where it lands by sign, house, and nakshatra sets your theme for the year.Planetary ReturnsMost people know about the Saturn return (hello, 30s), but did you know every planet has returns? Jupiter returns every 12 years, Rahu/Ketu every 18, Saturn every ~30. These are moments where the lessons of that planet crystallize—where you review what you've learned and see what's next.TransitsTransits shape what's happening for everyone, but your rising sign and chart will tell you how it plays out for you. Virgo risings right now? You've got five planets transiting your 7th house—major karma coming through in your relationships this year.

It might be time for love, beauty, or kids. Ketu dasha? A spiritual deep dive. I give a quick breakdown of each one and how to start interpreting them in your own chart.If you've already had a birth chart reading, this is the next step.

Hi everyone! Happy eclipse! I hope you all are doing well and embracing this eclipse energy!This eclipse is in sidereal Leo, in the nakshatra of Uttara Phalguni. This nakshatra is all about "creature comforts", friendship, and connection.This eclipse has the energy of Ketu, bringing up matters from the past... offering a powerful opportunity to "level up" and surpass historical issues. This eclipse is also closely aspected by Saturn, which may dampen confidence or will power. We discuss the best ways to utilize this energy.
