In this episode of AstrologyNow, we explore the deep emotional tides stirred by three planets retrograde in water signs— Jupiter in Cancer, Saturn in Pisces, and Mercury in Scorpio. We explore how their backward motion invites reflection and emotional maturity. We discuss how presence and compassion are often more healing than trying to fix or change the emotional experience for ourselves or those around us. We explore the new and full moon in Mars ruled signs with a full moon in Aries and new moon in Scorpio. Simultaneously, we have Mars in Scorpio - gaining immense power and offering us the opportunity to change, transform, and level up. This is such a time for courageous and bold action! But will there be explosive intensity or volatility? This month is an interesting combination of raw, bold power while also showing emotional intensity and vulnerability. We discuss staying grounded, curious, and realistic to held keep us supported in the month ahead. 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

Why is it so hard to put our phones down even when we know they're making us anxious? Today we're going to unpack the neurochemistry of why we get hooked on devices and games, and how to reclaim our mental wellbeing from somebody who's helping millions of people do this everyday. This week I'm joined by Dr. Alok Kanojia, Harvard-trained psychiatrist and co-founder of Healthy Gamer, to discuss digital devices, the science behind dopamine loops and how to develop a healthy relationship with our phones and more.We explore:

In this special World Mental Health Day stream, Dr. K explores why mental illness continues to rise even as awareness, therapy, and neuroscience have advanced. He connects the dots between modern lifestyles, constant stimulation, and a growing disconnection from the body. Using insights from both Western psychiatry and Vedic psychology, Dr. K explains how anxiety, burnout, and attention issues are symptoms of a deeper imbalance. The conversation blends brain science with practical tools for rewiring habits and developing real resilience. Topics include: Why mental health is declining despite more treatment options How technology and constant stimulation mimic ADHD symptoms The role of panic, urgency, and emotional reactivity in shaping attention Practical steps for retraining motivation through small, low-pressure actions Understanding “phantom panic” and how to regulate the nervous system The link between breath, CO₂ balance, and anxiety How diet and the gut–brain connection influence mood Combining therapy, medication, and mind–body practices Meditation as a long-term way to build focus and emotional stability HG Coaching : ⁠⁠https://bit.ly/46bIkdo⁠⁠ Dr. K's Guide to Mental Health: ⁠⁠https://bit.ly/44z3Szt⁠⁠ HG Memberships : ⁠⁠https://bit.ly/3TNoMVf⁠⁠ Products & Services : ⁠⁠https://bit.ly/44kz7x0⁠⁠ HealthyGamer.GG: ⁠⁠https://bit.ly/3ZOopgQ⁠⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode, Swamiji explores Bhagavad Gita Chapter 7, Verse 7, where Shree Krishna declares His supremacy over all creation: “There is nothing higher than Me, O Arjun. Everything rests in Me as beads strung on a thread.” Listeners will discover how this verse reveals the intimate relationship between God and the universe—where the Divine is both the substratum and the sustainer of all.  Swamiji explains the profound truth that God is simultaneously with form and formless, transcending material limitations while remaining personally accessible to the devotee. Through Mahatmya Gyan (knowledge of God's glories), Sambandh Gyan (our relationship with Him), and Seva Gyan (how to serve Him), this episode guides seekers toward true realization and devotion.  Building upon our previous episodes on divine creation and eternal love, this discussion deepens your understanding of God's omnipresence and personal nature. Tune in to enrich your journey through the Gita and elevate your quest for clarity, surrender, and spiritual intimacy.  About Swami Mukundananda: Swami Mukundananda is a renowned spiritual leader, Vedic scholar, Bhakti saint, best-selling author, and an international authority on the subject of mind management.

Hi everyone! I've been in the worm hole looking at historical events and upcoming transits. I wanted to share some speculation on upcoming transits between now and the next 8-9 years. This is a meandering, casual podcast sharing ideas and theories I'm considering as I do initial research. I can assure you that as time goes on, I will continue to offer more in depth and thoughtful analysis. It's almost impossible to organize and fit 8-9 years of transits into a single, digestible episode! Note: Something I found SUPER interesting that I did not include, in 1751, Saturn and Jupiter were with the nodes in opposition (similar to what we will see coming up), and it was when the first encyclopedia was introduced! This could be a period of great awakening and age of awareness...

CC Madhya 19.118-154 https://vedabase.io/en/library/cc/madhya/19/advanced-view/ ------------------------------------------------------------ I had long conversations with Rādhikā Ramaṇa Prabhu when we stayed with him the year Sādhu Saṅga was in Utah. Rādhikā was saying it's the glory of a person, and it makes them more glorified when those after them first of all choose to write about the materials following that luminary. He gave the example of Shakespeare. How many thesis papers have there been in the humanities department about any of Shakespeare's works or his life in general? Millions. And did that eclipse Shakespeare's writings? No. On the contrary, it's a light shining on them saying, "Wow, so many people were writing about him and, you know, taking points from his writings that he must be like the super guy," and he is in literary history. So his point was, after every ācārya, there are always thousands of commentaries. We only see a few of them, but there are thousands of writings about any luminary, any of the mahātmās who have written, and so forth, and it glorifies them, because, of course, that person made a stir, they hit a nerve. They actually had something potent to say, and therefore there's a lot more to say about it and a lot more to churn within what they said. Therefore his opinion was and is, that it's the glory of Prabhupāda that more people write about what he said and what he brought to bear—the whole canon of Vedic literatures—and how we can bring it into the modern light so that people can take advantage of it. That shows Prabhupāda's potency. And case in point was the Bṛhad Bhāgavatāmṛta, because Joseph T. O'Connell, who at the time was the preeminent expert on Gauḍīya Vaiṣṇavism in the academic world, if you read his foreword to the book, he says that very thing: that nobody in the world up to this point, after hundreds of years, has been able to do what Gopīparāṇadhana Prabhu has done, which is to effectively translate what Sanātana Gosvāmī wrote as prose, as commentary, he wrote in Sanskrit, and nobody had been able to take it and put it into a natural flow of language that people could read and understand. And He said it's perfectly done. He said, "This points to the greatness of His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedānta Swami Prabhupāda, that he could attract and then train disciples who could do that." What to speak of how the devotees headed by Hṛdayānanda Mahārāja were able to finish the Tenth, Eleventh, and Twelfth Cantos of the Śrīmad Bhāgavatam, which sometimes people say, "Oh, you don't read those. They're not Prabhupāda's books." But my opinion is, they're as much Prabhupāda's books as before that, because who trained them to talk like that and have a perfect grasp of the siddhānta and to be able to present it in the same mood that comes through the disciplic succession? It shines a light on the greatness of Prabhupāda that somebody was able to be there and continue that, as Prabhupāda asked them to do.

What happens when a top-level bodybuilder, war veteran, and peak performer has a full spiritual awakening? Nahum Vizakis has lived both extremes — the hyper-masculine world of bodybuilding and the deep surrender of plant medicine, astrology, and emotional healing.In this episode, Nahum shares his raw journey from winning shows in Iraq and Arizona to losing his identity, facing PTSD, and finding love through awakening experiences with ayahuasca, combo, and iboga. He opens up about how trauma, ego, and performance-enhancing drugs disconnected him from his body — and how practices like massage therapy, nervous system regulation, and ancient plant medicines brought him back into alignment.We talk about:• The collapse of hustle culture and the rise of emotional awareness in men• How plant medicine accelerates karma and reveals our mother/father wounds• The hidden connection between the sympathetic nervous system and illusion• What it really means to “do the inner work” and balance masculine and feminine energy• The coming shift toward healing through frequency, vibration, and consciousnessNahum also shares powerful tools for nervous system regulation, including breathwork, grounding, Hoppe, and high-dose melatonin therapy — plus insights on how modern biohacking and ancient wisdom meet. His story is a reminder that the path to power begins with surrender, honesty, and feeling safe enough to be vulnerable.If you've ever felt trapped in the “go, go, go” mode or struggled to turn off the noise of the world, this conversation will help you reconnect to your natural rhythm and your true self.Find Nahum at spiritualbodybuilder.comFree workshop: Relationship Astrology at https://www.quietmindastrology.com/relationshipsFree 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: Nahum Vizakis, spiritual bodybuilding, plant medicine, ayahuasca, kambo, iboga, PTSD, nervous system, masculinity, Vedic astrology, trauma healing, biohacking, breathwork, grounding

What if the fertility crisis of today is not just biological—but ecological?In this transformative episode, we uncover a revolutionary idea: your body has its own internal climate, and just like the planet, it's suffering from imbalance.Modern life has pushed us to live like “solar beings”—overstimulated, overproductive, overheated, and dried out. The result? Hormonal chaos, emotional depletion, and a global fertility decline. But when we remember that our bodies are microcosms of the Earth, everything begins to make sense.Join me for this amazing interview with Nidhi Bhanshali Pandya. Nidhi is an Ayurvedic Doctor, international speaker, educator, and bestselling author based in NYC. She's become widely known for her unique approach to health, healing, and longevity, the Inner Climate Method®. This pioneering approach, blending ancient wisdom with modern science, is the culmination of her 15 years of dedicated practice.Growing up in India, Nidhi was steeped in Vedic traditions from an early age, inspired by her grandfather, an esteemed Ayurvedic healer. Her formal education in holistic health led her to become an Ayurvedic Doctor.Today, Nidhi shares her groundbreaking method worldwide, guiding women to embrace self-awareness and intuitive living. Her teachings focus on achieving Mind-Body Balance, actively realigning both their mind and body, and fostering Radical Transformation in their lives.

In this episode I'm joined by Meso-American occultist and historian Solomon Pakal for a wide-ranging exploration of Indigenous magic and its place in modern discourse. Drawing on his background in Indigenous American traditions, Solomon takes us deep into Mayan ceremonial magic, ancestral veneration, and the role of intermediary spirits, while challenging how Indigenous practices are too often romanticised, distorted, or appropriated in Western esotericism.We discuss the ten types of Maya spirituality beyond the academic five, the significance of corn in cosmology, and the role of daykeepers who maintain the sacred calendar and its thaumaturgic functions. Solomon explains the practice of Nagualism, the power of hieroglyphic language, and the Koyopa system of energy work distinct from the Vedic chakras.We also explore the vast and sophisticated ceremonial structures of Meso-america, their cosmological systems, and how narrative and “living stories” function as a kind of hypersigilmagic.In the Plus show, Solomon expands on these themes, delving deeper into narrative worship, geospatial magic, and the hidden sophistication of Mesoamerican energetic practices.The conversation takes unexpected turns, from the obsidian mirror of John Dee—possibly Aztec in origin—and its link to Enochian spirits, to the enigmatic “Ritual of the Angels” from the Books of Chilam Balam, with its unique vision of celestial ascent. Solomon connects Indigenous American practices to Western occult traditions, making the case for why these systems remain vital and relevant today.And in a surprising parallel, we turn to combat sports as a living theatre of magic—from Conor McGregor's meteoric rise and fall to the uncanny similarities with Ilia Topuria's ascent. We explore how both fighters embody narrative enchantment, peak performance, and the dangerous glamour of meteoric success. Solomon also shares his own training experiences and the role of ritual in the fight game, showing how magic finds expression in the octagon as much as in the temple.EnjoyShow notes:https://www.solomonpakal.com/https://substack.com/@solomonpakal?utm_source=about-pagehttps://www.facebook.com/SolomonPakal13/https://www.instagram.com/solomon.pakal/https://www.youtube.com/@SolomonPakalKeep in touch?https://linktr.ee/darraghmason

From the depths of the cosmic ocean, Dhanvantari arose - radiant and serene, carrying the pot of Amṛta, the nectar of immortality. This is the birth of Ayurveda, the birth of healing itself.In this special Dhanteras episode, Dylan retells the ancient Vedic story of the Samudra Manthana (the Churning of the Ocean of Milk) and reveals how this timeless myth mirrors the process of transformation within us all. As light and shadow churn together, both poison and nectar emerge, showing that healing is not about escape, but integration.A meditative and mythic journey through one of the Vedas' most profound tales, this episode invites you to awaken the Dhanvantari within - the innate intelligence that restores balance, purifies what's toxic, and reveals the radiant nectar of health and consciousness that lies beneath the surface of all experience.IN THIS EPISODE WE DISCUSS:

This week on AstrologyNow, we explore the New Moon in Libra within the brilliant star of Chitra — the celestial architect. This new moon invites us to see beyond our limited experience and embrace our full potential.We discuss the evolutionary strategy of confirmation bias — how the mind clings to what's familiar, even when it limits growth — and how this New Moon invites us to step into the vastness of new possibilities.Libra reminds us of justice, fairness, and the art of relating, while Chitra adds creative brilliance and structure — the ability to turn ideals into tangible reality. There will be calls for peace and connection, though there may be some hurdles or challenges to move through. Plus, a look at Jupiter in Cancer, and its influence on themes of security, homeland protection, and even collective systems like digital IDs. What does this mean for personal and societal evolution?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

Download your free guide for 2025-2027 at ⁠https://www.quietmindastrology.com/jupiterincancer2025⁠We made it through most of 2025! SO many big changes, and there's one more left. This is the best one: Jupiter being exalted in Cancer. I made a free guide for this because it's such a big one. This shift brings a general lift for everyone: hopefulness, optimism, growth, and expansion. Today I cover the big-picture timing for all of us. Next episode I'll do sign-by-sign for your Rising and Moon.If you're hearing “Jupiter is already in Cancer,” that's tropical. I read sidereal (true to astronomy). Look in Stellarium or any stargazing app and you'll see it: Jupiter touches Cancer at the end of 2025 (a glimmer), dips back to Gemini Dec 5 to Mar 10, then fully enters Cancer on June 1, 2026, runs to Leo late '26, and returns to Cancer in 2027. The strongest nurturing window is Pushya — June 26 to Aug 26, 2026 — just 61 days. Most of this transit is in the deep, transformational Aslesha, which we'll discuss more next year when we're closer to that. Right now we're in Punarvasu: the return of optimism and future vision. Use these few weeks (mid-Oct to mid-Nov) to clarify what you want to build. When planets retrograde, the RE words matter: review, revise, revisit. From Dec 5 to Mar 10, go back over your lessons, teachers, communities, and consolidate wisdom.Jupiter expands; Cancer nurtures. Great time to ground, tend home and family, strengthen boundaries (Saturn in Pisces is answered by Jupiter), and deepen spiritual practice. I'll also be hosting a live Relationship Astrology workshop at quietmindastrology.com/relationships — synastry, Atma/Dara Karaka, overlays — practical and interactive.5 key ideas - “Jupiter being exalted in Cancer… is going to affect all of us generally more positively: a sense of hopefulness, optimism, growth, and expansion.”- “Jupiter… is just moving to the edge of Cancer at the end of 2025… but it's going back to Gemini… then on June 1st, Jupiter fully goes into Cancer.”- “The most nurturing part… is Pushya… June 26 until August 26 — 61 days.”- “Whenever a planet retrogrades, the RE words are relevant: reviewing, revising, revisiting.”- “With expansion, grounding is very important… feet on the ground… yin, kapha practices, caring for home and family.”Keywords: Jupiter in Cancer exalted, sidereal Vedic astrology, Punarvasu, Pushya, Jupiter retrograde dates, Jupiter in Gemini review, Saturn in Pisces aspect, family home nurturing, grounding practices, relationship astrology workshopFree Weekly Horoscopes & Exclusive offers: https://www.quietmindastrology.com/freehoroscopesFree Vedic Birth Chart & Training:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://www.quietmindastrology.com/freebirthchartInstagram:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://www.instagram.com/quietmindastrologyDecode Your Birth Chart: https://www.quietmindastrology.com/1011:1 Reading: https://www.quietmindastrology.com/readingMentorship: https://www.quietmindastrology.com/mentorshipQuietmind Yoga: https://www.quietmind.yoga

In this episode, Swamiji concludes his exploration of Bhagavad Gita Chapter 7, Verse 6, by addressing a deeply personal and universal theme: why human relationships often fail. Listeners will discover how Shree Krishna contrasts fleeting worldly attachments with the soul's eternal bond with the Divine, offering a path to lasting fulfillment through spiritual love.  Swamiji explains that human love, rooted in expectation and impermanence, inevitably leads to disappointment. But divine love—anchored in selflessness and surrender—transcends time and transforms the heart. This episode invites seekers to reframe their emotional experiences and redirect their longing toward the only relationship that never breaks: the soul's connection with God.  Building upon our previous episodes on divine timing and the purpose of creation, this discussion deepens your understanding of love as a spiritual force and reveals how the Gita gently guides us from heartbreak to wholeness. Tune in to enrich your journey through the Gita and elevate your quest for eternal love, clarity, and divine fulfillment.  About Swami Mukundananda: Swami Mukundananda is a world-renowned spiritual teacher, author, and founder of the Jagadguru Kripaluji Yog (JKYog) organization. A unique blend of intellect and devotion, Swamiji holds degrees from IIT Delhi and IIM Calcutta, yet renounced a corporate career to pursue God-realization. His teachings integrate ancient Vedic wisdom with practical guidance for modern life, making spirituality accessible and transformative for seekers across the globe.

Jeff Selver, MBA, did not think of himself as an “aliens and UFO guy.” He was a financial advisor for a bank and worked in sales. Yet a bizarre and unexplainable traumatic event which occurred to him in his young adult years came back to haunt him. When he began investigating its cause, the same lights in the sky associated with the bizarre event from his past appeared just as they did twenty years prior. At this point he knew the experience was associated with an otherworldly presence. Suddenly, at the age of 41, screen memories came to light, and broken memories of unbelievable alien contact events began opening up. He would learn the details of this traumatic event that happened as a young adult matched what is now understood as a “genetic activation.” Understanding its origins opened a lifetime of obscured memories of alien contact.He then proved to himself that his memories were real by having knowledge about places in nature he had never been and corroboration (which continues to this day) of unique similarities between his contact events and so many other contactees, some details too specific to have been made up by his mind. He then began piecing together his story and his involvement with Grey aliens.Armed with a unique ability to recall his obscured memories in detail (in-part facilitated by the genetic activation), passing a lie-detector test, and videos of UFOs flying outside his apartment while he wrote his book (which can be seen on his website, www.jeffselver.com), Jeff tells his story.In December of 1997, Jeff experienced the Rising, which was an agreement with Grey aliens to discover his soul. It was an intense consciousness raising event, coupled with a genetic activation. The Rising required him to take a leap of faith, sell all his possessions, and begin a life traveling from place to place. This is “Into the Wild,” the alien contact version, complete with paranormal events, encounters with strange objects in the sky and with beings from beyond. In summary it is 26 contact events with Grey aliens, told in amazing detail, and spread out from the years 1993 to 2017.Fundamentally, Jeff was shown that what humans understand about spirituality, life after death, dimensions, God, the soul, and psychic powers, are just the beginning of what these beings are all about. And that their capacity, understanding, and utilization of these is much greater than humans can imagine.Jeff's story shows that the only way we will ever be able to understand the Greys is to understand the power of our own personal spiritual potential. To assist with this, they gave him a manual of high spirituality addressed to humans he calls the Mystic Book.But by the end the message from them becomes clear, we need to get ready for a Grey alien presence on our planet.BioIn his twenties, Jeff Selver started his own band which had a modicum of success, packing clubs in the thriving Toronto music scene. He then found a passion for management and leadership which led him to a Master of Business Administration, writing his thesis on spiritual values in leadership and the effects on organizational performance. This led to his work in banks and into the corporate world as a motivational speaker, teaching mindful leadership, and sharing the benefits of meditation. He has been under the tutelage of a Vedic teacher for over twenty years where he learned Vedic philosophy and meditation. When his memories of alien contact came out Jeff began presenting on his contact events in UFO groups, sharing his story in detail, and providing research and corroboration with other experiencers. He currently resides in Vancouver, B.C. with his spouse.https://www.jeffselver.com/https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CRXHSH1G https://www.pastliveshypnosis.co.uk/https://www.patreon.com/alienufopodcastMy book 'Verified Near Death Exeriences' https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DXKRGDFP Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Dr. K breaks down how psychedelics actually work not from hype or hearsay, but through neuroscience, psychiatry, and lived experience. He explains that psychedelics don't “heal” you by themselves; they temporarily put the brain into edit mode, a state of heightened neuroplasticity where your thoughts, emotions, and physiology can be rewritten for better or worse. Through a detailed look at serotonin receptors, brain connectivity, and decades of clinical research, Dr. K shows how substances like psilocybin, LSD, DMT, ayahuasca, and MDMA can rewire the brain and why they can just as easily cause harm if used without structure, safety, or integration. The episode also explores why guided psychedelic therapy — in a clinical or spiritual context — can lead to long-term healing, while unsupervised trips can lock trauma in even deeper. Dr. K ties it all together by connecting ego death to meditation and Vedic philosophy, revealing how both psychedelics and deep meditative practice dissolve the sense of self — and why that dissolution is often the real mechanism of healing. Topics include: The serotonin 2A receptor and why psychedelics increase neuroplasticity and neurogenesis How “edit mode” rewires your brain and how it can backfire Why integration therapy is critical after a psychedelic experience Set and setting: the real difference between healing and harm Which psychedelics work best for depression, PTSD, and addiction Why microdosing feels good but may not create long-term change The role of ego death and why it mirrors advanced meditation experiences Psychedelics vs. antidepressants - what the data actually says about efficacy and risk This episode is a deep dive into the science, safety, and spirituality of psychedelics offering clarity in a space often clouded by hype, myth, and misinformation.

Is sexuality a path to higher consciousness or a distraction dressed up as spirituality? In this episode, Thom explores the Vedic view on sexual energy, why so-called “harnessing” may be the opposite of what you think, and the hidden cost of “chasing the active ingredient.“Thom also flips manifestation on its head, revealing why desire follows what is already unfolding and how transcendence twice daily changes the game.Episode Highlights[00:45] Harnessing[05:47] Active-Ingredient Mentality[10:04] A Lack of Fundamental Fulfillment[12:45] A Very Clever Marketing Idea[15:05] Perpetually Orgasmic[17:58] Transcendence is Everything[19:32] The Universe is Your Sugar Daddy[21:24] Desire is Secondary to Manifestation[26:03] Q - What's the relationship between creation energy and sexuality?[26:09] A - Enhanced Repertoire[30:21] What Does Sexuality Mean?Useful Linksinfo@thomknoles.com https://thomknoles.com/https://www.instagram.com/thethomknoleshttps://www.facebook.com/thethomknoleshttps://www.youtube.com/c/thomknoleshttps://thomknoles.com/ask-thom-anything/

RSVP for free to the Relationship Astrology workshop at https://www.quietmindastrology.com/relationshipsThis is the weekly forecast for Sunday, October 12th through Saturday, October 18th, and it's the last week of having Jupiter in Gemini, closing out major lessons that began around June. We're not done with those themes entirely, but there's a shift coming up this Saturday that brings a new sense of growth, abundance, and clarity in relationships and decision-making.We're in a year of big transitions with Saturn in Pisces, Rahu in Aquarius, and Ketu in Leo—moving beyond our old limits and transforming our relationship to power, leadership, and control. This week's major transits add to that momentum.On Tuesday, October 14th, Pluto in Capricorn goes direct. This ends a long retrograde phase that stirred the subconscious and brought up deep, hidden material for healing. Pluto direct helps us integrate what surfaced—unresolved wounds, samskaras, or old conditioning—and move forward with a renewed foundation. Globally, Pluto continues to reshape structures of power and authority, while personally it invites therapy, meditation, yoga, and inner work to create lasting transformation.On Friday, October 17th, the Sun moves into Libra. The Sun is considered debilitated here, meaning our drive to lead and control must yield to diplomacy, compassion, and fairness. This is a month to collaborate, not dominate—to focus on teamwork, compromise, and shared decision-making. With Mercury and Mars nearby, some conversations may feel charged or confrontational. Slow down, stay grounded, and weigh your words carefully. Be mindful of your nervous system responses and approach challenges with calm awareness. This energy supports delegation, collaboration, and finding balance in work and relationships.Then on Saturday, October 18th, Jupiter moves into Cancer—a brief preview of what's to come in mid-2026. This is one of the most auspicious placements for Jupiter, bringing expansion in finances, love, and emotional connection. It's a shift from the scattered mental energy of Gemini into the heart-centered stability of Cancer. This is the time to ground, slow down, and reconnect to what nourishes you. Cook warm meals, create supportive routines, limit screen time, and focus on simple, grounding practices.Jupiter in Cancer brings more ease, support, and optimism, but be mindful not to slip into complacency or heaviness. If you start to feel dull or unmotivated, reintroduce movement, warmth, and fire—spicy foods, energizing yoga, or inspiring projects.As we close this chapter of Jupiter in Gemini, reflect on what you've learned since June. You may have felt torn between wisdom and intellect, intuition and logic, or calling and practicality. Gemini energy can bring incredible creativity and insight, but also indecision and overwhelm. Jupiter in Cancer helps bring those ideas into form with warmth and emotional clarity.This week is a time to complete cycles, integrate lessons, and create stability where there's been uncertainty. Use the energy of Pluto direct to heal what's been hidden, the Sun in Libra to strengthen your relationships through fairness and empathy, and Jupiter in Cancer to ground in love and connection.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/mentorshipQuietmind Yoga: https://www.quietmind.yogaKeywords: nakshatras, grahas, rashi, bhavas, jyotish, yoga, doshas, kundali, transits, retrograde, aspects, dasha system, remedies, mantras, shani, chandra, mangala, Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo

Verses covered: Cc Madhya 9.49-98 yasya deve parā bhaktir yathā deve tathā gurau tasyaite kathitā hy arthāḥ prakāśante mahātmanaḥ “Only unto those great souls who have implicit faith in both the Lord and the spiritual master are all the imports of Vedic knowledge automatically revealed.”(Śvetāśvatara Up. 6.23) Actually the meaning of the words of the Bhagavad-gītā or Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam are revealed to one strictly following the orders of the spiritual master. They are also revealed to one who has equal faith in the Supreme Personality of Godhead.

Tonight on Veritas, our special guest is Michael Cremo. For decades, Michael Cremo has challenged the foundations of science. Known as the forbidden archeologist, his work has sparked debate, controversy, and fascination. His book Forbidden Archeology questioned the belief that humans have only been present for a short span of time. Now, after years of investigation and discovery, Michael presents his newest research in Extreme Human Antiquity. The book reveals startling evidence of human remains, artifacts, and footprints that reach far beyond accepted timelines. Some cases point not to thousands of years, but to millions and even hundreds of millions. If this evidence is genuine, it changes everything we have been taught about history. Why then is it so little known? Has science ignored it, dismissed it, or even concealed it? Michael Cremo believes much of what we call scientific consensus is shaped by what he calls knowledge filtration. This is the quiet process where discoveries that do not fit the standard picture are pushed aside. His work asks us to reconsider not only where we came from, but how long we have been here. Cremo also draws from the Vedic tradition, blending his research with spiritual insights. What if humanity has always been here? What if consciousness itself is far older than materialist science allows? Tonight, we enter a journey into forbidden discoveries, suppressed evidence, and the possibility that our story is far older than we have ever imagined.

This is a talk from the Wisdom of the Bhagavad Gita series, exploring the possibility of knowing God from the Vedic perspective. Knowing God is indeed possible but requires a transformation of consciousness. Material consciousness is characterized by self-centeredness, whereas spiritual consciousness is a state of manifesting selflessness.In the quest to know God, one must recognize the limitations of our physical senses and mind in perceiving spiritual reality. The ancient teachers of Vedic knowledge describe that which is spiritual with the word adhokṣaja which means "that which is beyond the measurement of our senses." It was acknowledged that spiritual reality is beyond the range of worldly experimental knowledge. The Vedas, however, taught that despite the limitations of the body and mind, God is discoverable, but it requires a major change or purification of our consciousness. In the current age the transformation of consciousness necessary to know God can be achieved through meditation on spiritual sound, particularly through kirtan (congregational chanting).The quotes used in the talk:All of them-as they surrender unto Me-I reward accordingly. Everyone follows My path in all respects, O son of Pṛthā. - Bg 4.11I am never manifest to the foolish and unintelligent. For them I am covered by My eternal creative potency [yoga-māyā]; and so the deluded world knows Me not, who am unborn and infallible. - Bhagavad-gītā 7.25But you cannot see Me with your present eyes. Therefore I give you divine eyes. Behold My mystic opulence! - Bhagavad-gītā 11.8That very ancient science of the relationship with the Supreme is today told by Me to you because you are My devotee as well as My friend; therefore you can understand the transcendental mystery of this science. - Bhagavad-gītā 4.3The Supreme Lord said: My dear Arjuna, because you are never envious of Me, I shall impart to you this most secret wisdom, knowing which you shall be relieved of the miseries of material existence. - Bhagavad-gītā 9.1Because you are My very dear friend, I am speaking to you the most confidential part of knowledge. Hear this from Me, for it is for your benefit. - Bhagavad-gītā 18.64Always think of Me and become My devotee. Worship Me and offer your homage unto Me. Thus you will come to Me without fail. I promise you this because you are My very dear friend. - Bhagavad-gītā 18.65The form you are seeing with your transcendental eyes cannot be understood simply by studying the Vedas, nor by undergoing serious penances, nor by charity, nor by worship. It is not by these means that one can see Me as I am. - Bhagavad-gītā 11.53My dear Arjuna, only by undivided devotional service can I be understood as I am, standing before you, and can thus be seen directly. Only in this way can you enter into the mysteries of My understanding. - Bhagavad-gītā 11.54

A devotee asked Prabhupāda, "what's the difference between mental speculation and philosophical speculation?" Prabhupada said, "If the conclusion is Kṛṣṇa is the Supreme Personality of Godhead, then it's philosophical speculation. If it is that there is no God or Kṛṣṇa is not the Supreme Personality of Godhead, then it's mental speculation." So, one of the main points here, in these three verses, is svataḥ-pramāṇa. In any philosophical system, there has to be axiomatic truth. Otherwise, you have no place to stand. If you start to solve mathematical problem—you have to solve for x. You have to have a basis to start from. Otherwise, you get infinite regress and infinite deconstruction of everything you're talking about, and you have nowhere to go except for backwards, meaning that everything is up for interpretation. There has to be a place for svataḥ-pramāṇa—it's automatically revealed, just like the sun. You don't have to speculate when the sun came out; it's obvious. And so the śāstra reveals itself, and it's considered apauruṣeya. It's the ultimate word in everything, the Vedic word. So, that's what Caitanya Mahāprabhu was pointing out.

Hi everyone! In today's segment we cover the upcoming full moon in sidereal Pisces. As we know, the full moon is a moment of release and letting go. The full moon in PISCES, the final sign, truly represents a time of conclusions, endings, and closure. This full moon will take place in the nakshatra of Revati. The asterism of friendliness, compassion, and guiding others on the path - literally or metaphorically. We also cover Pluto direct, karma control planets, and other astrological on-goings.
