Fated EncountersWe follow the waning Moon into the gamut this week, as it will enter into the occupied zone of the zodiac after a couple of weeks of moving through the empty signs. Sun-Mon: Moon with Rahu in AquariusTues-Wed: Moon with Saturn in PiscesThurs-Fri: Moon with Mars in AriesSat: Moon joins Sun in Taurus. The new Moon will come at the last degree of Taurus on Sunday, June 14. The Moon visits with the heavy hitters this week, Rahu, Saturn, Mars and then Sun. In addition, when Moon reaches Pisces late on Monday, we click into our final pulse of full Kala Amrita Yoga from June 8 - 18. All of the visible planets will be hemmed on one side of the nodal axis formed by Rahu and Ketu, bringing the energy of fated circumstances and feelings of being stuck between a rock and a hard place.Other than the Moon, the only planet changing signs this week is Venus. On Monday, Venus moves from Gemini into Cancer, rejoining with Jupiter, who entered Cancer June 1. In addition to this combination supporting a number of things with a nurturing, positive, and forward looking signature, this will be a visually stunning combination that can be seen in the western sky after sunset.While Jupiter and Venus generally come with good intentions, there may be a bit of friction at the beginning of the week as Venus glides into Cancer, exactly conjoins with Jupiter, and glides ahead. When two planets are exactly conjoined and sharing the same degree of the zodiac, we call that planetary war, with the two planets vying for expression. By Wednesday, Venus will have cleared the battlefield, eliminating any competition for who can teach better, help more, or foster positive connections with more ease. This leaves Venus and Jupiter in good dignity, joining forces to improve life for all the people.Mercury in Gemini and Mars in Aries through the week are good tools to keep in the pocket when dealing with situations that arise beyond your control. Stay analytical, ready to pivot with plans and details. Facts and practical parameters help us stay grounded and on task.Daily Keywords:Sunday June 7 : STRATEGIC HEALINGMonday June 8: CROSS THE THRESHOLDTuesday June 9: PATIENT STRENGTHWednesday June 10: GRACEFUL COMPLETIONThursday June 11: DECISIVE ACTIONFriday June 12: RESPONSIBLE POWERSaturday June 13: PURIFY INTENTIONHello!

Sunday May 31 begins with the full Moon in Scorpio, kicking off the week with a lunar pivot that turns us toward integration, refinement, and release. The Moon will be waning but still bright all week, starting out in debilitation, and giving us a sense of perspective and separation from the churning of the world as it navigates through the empty signs of the zodiac. The Moon traverses the zodiac alone this week, but is boosted by the aspects of benefic planets like Mercury, Venus, and Jupiter, ending the week on Saturday, June 6 by entering Aquarius and joining Rahu, which could track as a major change of mood.Jupiter moving to Cancer on June 1st is a major feature of the week, month, and entire year, promising relief from a long standing emphasis on Saturn's limitations. Jupiter in Cancer establishes a continuum of sign occupation with Rahu in Aquarius, Saturn in Pisces, Mars in Aries, Sun in Taurus, Mercury+Venus in Gemini, Jupiter in Cancer, and Ketu in Leo. Graha malika yoga tends to indicate a potential chain of events; let it flow this week with initiations and courage to act.The not so secret weapon of the week is Mars in Aries, strong with strategy and confident about plans. Mars will be in Bharani nakshatra this week, bringing the passionate energies of Mars and Venus to bear, asking us to find balance between masculine and feminine approaches that could combine in the form of a gentle courage that pushes us to enter the current and move forward. Daily Keywords:Sunday May 31 : INTEGRATE INSIGHTMonday June 1: UPROOT LIMITATIONSTuesday June 2: SEEK ROOT CAUSESWednesday June 3: FACTS NOT FEELINGSThursday June 4: BUILD ENDURANCEFriday June 5: RECEIVE WISDOMSaturday June 6: MAINTAIN RHYTHMHello!

June 2026 marks a major turning point as Jupiter enters exaltation in Cancer, beginning to loosen the grip of six difficult years dominated by Saturn's contraction and limitation. While the final pulse of Kala Amrita Yoga from June 8–18 continues themes of fate, pressure, and imbalance, the overall atmosphere gradually shifts toward growth, connection, creativity, and renewed optimism. Venus joining Jupiter in Cancer amplifies emotional healing and support, while Mars' move from Aries into Taurus slows the pace and redirects energy toward sustainable progress. Mercury's late-month retrograde reminds us that even as momentum builds, flexibility and recalibration remain essential. June feels like the tide beginning to turn.Read or listen to the full forecast at https://www.planetaryinfluence.com/forecasts/2026/JunHello!

Momentum with PerspectiveWe follow the Moon past Ketu on Sunday, May 24th, which breaks the state of Kala Amrita Yoga's second pulse this Spring. This rare combination tends to bring us to the brink of fate, with the challenge being to surrender to the forces we find to be out of our control. The last time this combination manifested with Rahu in Aquarius and Ketu in Leo was in 1859! As the Moon moves beyond Ketu, there may be a noticeable sense of psychological release, wider perspective, or renewed maneuverabilitySimilar to the previous week, the only planet changing signs this week is the Moon, in waxing phase, with the week culminating with the full Moon in Scorpio on May 31st. While free from association with other planets after Moon moves out of Leo, there will still be notable aspects that can affect our moods and minds as the week unfolds. The moment of the full Moon with an exact aspect of fiery Mars from Aries could bring catharsis and emotional honesty after some difficult processing.Monday and Tuesday, the Moon moves through Virgo, creating a mutual aspect through opposition with Saturn. This could feel like tough emotions surfacing or frustrating project delays. Wednesday, Thursday, and part of Friday will see the Moon moving through Libra, where the triple aspect of Rahu, Jupiter, and Mars is felt. This could feel like overwhelm that slips either toward wise choices, frustrated reactions, or innovative solutions. Friday into Saturday sees the Moon move into Scorpio, showing success with difficult actions and internal experiences.Saturn in Pisces keeps our attention on foundations and completion while Mars in Aries strongly drives us forward with plans and projects. Sun and Mercury in Taurus invite us to stay grounded as we focus on the enjoyable and comforting things. The exchange of signs between Mercury and Venus keeps up energy and enthusiasm for transactions and creativity. The combination of Venus and Jupiter in Gemini during Jupiter's swan song week in Mercury's air sign urges us to focus on learning trajectories, practicing what we've learned, and doing final rehearsals for the graceful windows that opens when Jupiter enters Cancer on June 1.This is a final integration week before Jupiter changes signs. While not much else seems to move this week, try to find the final threads of the lessons that Jupiter has been teaching in Gemini for the past year and tie them together to build confidence as you move from practice to performance with that recently attained understanding. Overall, we are looking at a week that offers momentum combined with perspective. The rising energy of the waxing Moon combined with the enthusiasm of the Venus-Mercury parivartana supports positive forward movement this week.DAILY KEYWORDS:Sunday May 24 : ENJOY the CHALLENGEMonday May 25: SACRED CONTRACTSTuesday May 26: SKILLFUL REFINEMENTWednesday May 27: DYNAMIC BALANCEThursday May 28: FOCUSED PATIENCEFriday May 29: STRATEGIC BREAKTHROUGHSaturday May 30: EMOTIONAL RESOLUTIONHello!

In this episode, I share the concept of the Venus Threshold, an eight-year astronomical cycle that completely changes how we experience love and fulfillment. We explore how this cycle shows up at ages 7, 14, 21, and 28, and how it aligns with music, art, the Fibonacci sequence, and even our chakras. I hope this episode helps you connect with what you truly love and brings a satisfying resolution to your desires. QUOTES"This is where we transform in what we love, how we love, our relationships, friendships, partnerships, commitments."

This week carries the feeling of emerging from a long corridor of pressure into a space where momentum  begins to return. The Moon waxes after Saturday's new Moon in Taurus while Venus, Mercury, and the Sun settle into their new signs following the major shifts of May 14. With Rahu in Aquarius, Saturn in Pisces, and Mars in Aries occupying adjacent signs, the atmosphere remains intense, but purposeful. These placements favor difficult work, strategic action, disciplined effort, and the willingness to confront reality honestly while still moving forward with hope.Mars newly established in Aries becomes one of the defining features of the week. After months of friction, delay, and entanglement with Saturn in Pisces, Mars in its own sign restores fire, courage, initiative, and forward momentum. This does not remove challenges, but it helps convert frustration into movement and uncertainty into decisive action. Hard jobs benefit from well placed malefics, and this week favors taking practical steps, solving problems directly, and using pressure constructively rather than emotionally.Kala Amrita Yoga remains active through the week, bringing a continued sense of karmic gravity and surrender, especially Wednesday and Thursday as the Moon moves through Cancer and completes the graha malika pattern between the nodes. Yet this week feels different from previous weeks. The waxing Moon moving through signs occupied by benefics brings support, perspective, and a growing sense that events are unfolding with deeper meaning and direction. Mercury and Venus continue their exchange of signs, supporting connection, communication, learning, negotiation, and creative collaboration, while Jupiter ripens in Gemini ahead of its upcoming move into Cancer on June 1, encouraging us to consolidate lessons, refine skills, and prepare to move from practice into performance. By Saturday, as the Moon passes Ketu and Kala Amrita Yoga  breaks for now, the energy opens noticeably, bringing release, perspective, and the feeling that an obstacle has finally begun to move.DAILY KEYWORDS:Sunday May 17: CREATIVE BEGINNINGMonday May 18: WANDER HOMETuesday May 19:  CONFRONT DISTRACTIONWednesday May 20: AUSPICIOUS RENEWALThursday May 21: ROOTED GROWTHFriday May 22: SHED IMPURITYSaturday May 23: OPEN THE GATESHello!

The Aries energy ripens through the first half of the week, powering up the Mercury + Sun pairing that moves to Taurus on Thursday May 13, just after Venus vacates Taurus and moves to Gemini earlier that day.  This week is peppered with new shifts that click us into next chapters. Find stability in what is working as you release the unstable and defunct.The Moon is in its final waning stage this week, which can make us feel spent physically and mentally. In addition, the Moon visits the tough energies of Rahu, Saturn, and Mars, while at the same time the squeeze of Kala Amrita Yoga fully manifests on Tuesday.On Sunday, Mars moves into Aries, setting us up for a powerful transit for initiations, power plays, and strategies through June 20. Wednesday may feel a bit wobbly as Venus, Mercury and Sun reach the final degrees of their signs. All three move on Thursday, in addition to the Moon. The waning Moon could have us feeling drained by Saturday when it finally meets up with the Sun in Taurus/Krittika. Daily Keywords:Sunday May 10: RHYTHMIC GROUNDINGMonday May 11: EVOLVED HEALINGTuesday May 12: FORGIVE COMPLETELYWednesday May 13: MYSTICAL ANCHORThursday May 14: CLEAN FINISH Friday May 15: REDEFINE CONNECTIONSaturday May 16: GENTLE DETOXHello!

Get your free Vedic chart and training at https://www.quietmindastrology.comIn today's episode, I'm sharing how you can better understand your moon sign and the unique emotional energies at play in your life. While the sun represents the soul, the moon represents our mind (Manas) and the lens through which we experience reality.

Get your free Vedic birth chart and see your own Sun sign at https://www.quietmindastrology.comOne of the most important things you can learn about yourself is your Sun sign in Vedic astrology. While many people look at the Sun as just a personality trait, in the Vedic tradition, it is the foundation of your core identity—your soul. In this episode, I share how your Sun placement influences the four aims of life, particularly your physical health and your sense of Dharma, or purpose. We explore what happens when this energy is out of balance—whether it's deficient and lacking confidence, or excessive and becoming controlling—and how you can realign with your natural sovereignty to lead a life full of Ojas (vitality) and inspiration.I hope this episode helps you connect with your inner light and start leading your life with more clarity, confidence, and alignment.QUOTES"The astronomical term for the Sun is Sol, which is also the word for the soul. The Sun represents your soul, your essence.""When your Sun energy is aligned, you're leading with confidence—leading yourself and leading others—and you feel full of vitality.""We don't want to be deficient or excessive with anything in astrology. We want to find what is aligned.""The Sun shows where you are a light for others and where you are bringing light to people's lives.""Dharma is your calling, your direction, your aim.

This week might look calm on the surface — but it's not a week to check out. It's a week to ride the calm out, while Mars and Saturn finish their work and Mercury flies close to the Sun. There's pressure here, but it's focused. Our work is to refine, clarify, and prepare  for what is  about to move.We begin with a bright but waning Moon traversing the currently lonely half of the zodiac, giving us a breather from the busy signs ranging from Pisces to Cancer. This is a strong tide demanding that we let go of those old patterns as we walk toward a new horizon.Mercury spends the rest of May catching up with the Sun.  This is the first full week of combustion, fusing Mercury's message into the Sun's exaltation. Clear, concise, true, and compassionate are the guideposts for communication this week.This will be the final week of the Mars - Saturn conjunction in Pisces. Mars enters Aries next Sunday, May 10th. The friction caused by the push and pull of Mars and Saturn could intensify this week, in an urgent call to finalize details and strategies when it comes to the domain of life associated with Pisces in your chart. Use the courage of Mars and the practicality of Saturn to discern the viability of resources. With no other planets changing signs in this week ahead, and with the following week showing a plethora of shifts in concert with the new Moon, it may feel like a quiet time to regroup. So ride the calm out this week — not by stepping back, but by getting clear, getting honest, and getting ready. Because what you refine now is what you'll move forward with next.Daily Keywords:Sunday May 3: EMOTIONAL DEEP DIVEMonday May 4: PROTECTIVE TRANSFORMATIONTuesday May 5: DISLODGE HABITSWednesday May 6: PLANT SEEDSThursday May 7: PRECISE DISCIPLINEFriday May 8: STRUCTURED RECEPTIVITYSaturday May 9: ORDERED CHAOSHello!

May could feel like a mixed bag, bringing both a sense of ease and challenges. You may seek pleasure where you can, especially amid turbulence in the world. There can be a tendency to overindulge as a way to cope or reward yourself, so it's worth being mindful of excess.Mars will move out of the uncertainty of Pisces by May 11 and step into Aries for a more energised period. Until then, the Sun helps out in Aries through the first half of the month, supporting confidence, even if things are unclear. By the time Mars moves in, it adds a renewed sense of courage and initiative, but also more impulsivity.In the world at large, we could see more fighting. With Mars, the planet of war, in Aries, the sign of war, we're building into a more volatile period, which, by the time Mars meets with Uranus in July, sets things off in a more dramatic way, especially as it squares the lunar nodes.No transit exists in a void, so we must factor Mars' transit through Aries into what's going to happen in July. Typically, this means wars (Aries) leading to issues with recourses (Taurus), which later impacts those in leadership roles, as Mars in Taurus squares Leo.As Mercury enters Taurus on May 14, Venus enters Gemini, which means they are exchanging signs. This bodes well for negotiating the best terms for all concerned, even if Mars wants what it wants, regardless. For some, this may express itself as being able to do the necessary while being able to compromise.We're heading into a more positive period by the end of May, as Mercury, Venus, and Mars line up in strength, and Jupiter makes its way towards exaltation. When planets are in a stronger position, even a ‘cruel' planet like Mars, we tend to see them at their best.By the time Jupiter enters Cancer by June 1, making May the last month Jupiter transits Gemini, we're in a better place, even if it's initially only in our expectations.  

Gemstones are not just decorative.In Jyotiṣa (Vedic Astrology), they are used as precise tools to amplify planetary influences and shift the trajectory of karma.In this episode, Dylan Smith sits down with Vedic Gemologist and Jyotiṣī Tiffany April Raines to explore how astrological gemstones actually work, why quality is everything, and the level of responsibility required when using them.Tiffany is the co-owner of Astrological Gem International and has spent nearly two decades studying, testing, and tracking the real-world effects of gemstones. Her approach is grounded in precise chart-based prescriptions, high-quality sourcing, and direct experience.This conversation goes beyond surface-level understanding.It explores gemstones as amplifiers of karma, why they can sometimes create intensity or discomfort, and how to work with them consciously and safely.If you've ever been curious about wearing gemstones for healing, abundance, relationships, or spiritual growth, this episode brings clarity, nuance, and grounded insight.In This Episode, We Cover: What makes a gemstone “astrological” vs decorative  Why flawlessness and untreated stones are essential  How gemstones interact with light, colour, and planetary energy  Why gemstones can accelerate karma and life events  When gemstones can create discomfort or intensity  Whether gemstones should be a primary remedy (upāya)  The importance of correct prescription and intention  Real-life stories of fertility, wealth, and life shifts  Primary vs secondary gemstones (ratnas vs uparatnas)  Why quality matters more than size  Natural pearls vs cultured pearls and what actually works  How to work with common stones like amethyst  Emerging gemstones beyond classical Jyotiṣa (aquamarine, rubellite)  Red flags when buying gemstones and issues with certification  The ethics and responsibility of selling gemstones About Tiffany April RainesTiffany April Raines is a Vedic Gemologist and Jyotiṣī with nearly 20 years of experience.She is co-owner of Astrological Gem International, a company specialising in rare, untreated, highly flawless gemstones for astrological use.Tiffany's work combines classical Vedic knowledge with hands-on experimentation.

May acts as a transitional bridge between unstable hesitation and emerging growth, marked by Jupiter's final stretch in Gemini, multiple planetary sign shifts mid-month, and the pulse of Kala Amrita Yoga emphasizing fate over free will. The month begins with a complex and pressured Full Moon in Libra, requiring strategic balance, and evolves into a more active and opportunity-filled second half as Venus and Mercury exchange signs and Mars regains strength in Aries. While momentum builds, Saturn's move into Revati and the continued intensity of Rahu and Ketu remind us that closure, karmic processing, and careful decision-making remain essential as we prepare for a major energetic shift when Jupiter enters Cancer in June.Read or listen to the full forecast at https://www.planetaryinfluence.com/forecasts/2026/MayHello!

BALANCE PRESENCE & PLANNINGAs Mercury gains strength and the Full Moon peaks, insight translates into movement and change.The main features of this week ahead through the vedic astrology lens are  the breaking of our first pulse of the dramatic Kala Amrita Yoga on Monday as the waxing Moon moves to Virgo, Mercury changing signs from Pisces to Aries on Wednesday, April 29th, and the full Moon in Libra on Friday, May 2nd. The Moon moving past Ketu on Sunday and Monday and into Virgo  brings a sense of liberation with added perspective. Where last week may have felt like one twist of fate after another, the week ahead becomes a stronger rope we can grasp onto as we move forward.Mercury moving to Aries gives us clarity, agility, and initiative where we may have felt lost and mired. Mercury leaving Pisces also breaks up the exchange of signs with Jupiter, which was a fix to Mercury's debilitation but may have also expanded the ability to make wise and informed decisions. Mercury in Aries will give us some fire and momentum to confront difficulties. The full Moon in Libra on Friday offers a combination of strong feelings mixed with the outside influences of Rahu from Aquarius which brings adventurous instability and Jupiter from Gemini, which pairs calm wisdom with anxious analysis. Mars from Pisces will also throw some force toward the full Moon, adding in the potential for courageous actions.Exalted Sun in Aries continues to bring a guiding light as we forge ahead with new ventures. Venus in Taurus is offering us grounded and caring energy, but is also feeling the pressure of Saturn's 3rd aspect coming to exactness by degree by week's end. This could slow down momentum in favor of self care and needed time off.Tuesday and Wednesday, while the Moon is in Virgo, it receives the direct aspect of the Saturn, Mars, and Mercury trio, which were the stars of last week's show as they strongly conjoined in Uttarabhadra nakshatra. We could feel a general dissipation of energy through this week, but the tension could peak on these days when the Moon opposes Pisces.Thursday and Friday with the Moon in Libra, we see the multiple aspects that have been affecting Libra: Rahu, Mars, Sun, Mercury, and Jupiter. All eyes are on Libra, reminding us to rebalance our yes/no responses in order to keep contracts, relationships, and business decisions on the level.Daily Keywords:Sunday 26: NATURAL CONNECTIONSMonday 27:  RELATIONAL HARMONYTuesday 28: SKILLFUL HEALINGWednesday 29: PRECISE COMMUNICATHello!

Today I give a short Vedic Astrology lesson, introducing the four Purusharthas (Goals of Life) as found in the 12 house system:Dharma (Houses 1,5,9) Life Purpose, Duty, RighteousnessArtha (2, 6, 10) Wealth, resources, work, material successKama (3, 7, 11) Desire, pleasure, relationships, ambitionMoksha (4, 8, 12) Liberation, Spiritual enlightenment, Inner PeaceThe 4th house is one of three houses that focus on Moksha.

What if the stars not only reflect our lives—but reveal a deeper blueprint of who we are meant to become? In this enlightening episode, Stefania Leone explores the ancient practice of Vedic astrology, a system rooted in thousands of years of tradition that seeks to map the connection between cosmic movements and human experience. Drawing from the principles of Vedic knowledge, Stefania explains how this form of astrology differs from Western approaches—focusing on karmic patterns, life purpose, and the soul's journey across time. She discusses how planetary alignments are believed to influence personality, challenges, and opportunities, offering insight into the cycles that shape our lives. This episode invites listeners to explore astrology as more than prediction—it becomes a tool for self-awareness and personal growth. How can understanding your chart bring clarity and direction? What role does karma play in shaping your path? And how can ancient wisdom help guide modern life? Join us for a fascinating and introspective conversation that bridges the cosmos and the self—where ancient insight meets contemporary curiosity, and where the stars may hold clues to life's deeper meaning.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-x-zone-radio-tv-show--1078348/support.Please note that all XZBN radio and/or television shows are Copyright © REL-MAR McConnell Meda Company, Niagara, Ontario, Canada – www.rel-mar.com.

This week has a very different tone — less raw pressure, more movement, negotiation, and karmic unfolding. There's still intensity, but it's smarter, more fluid, more consequential.The Moon waxes this week, with Sunday showing an exalted Sun alone in Aries after both Venus and Moon pass into Taurus on Saturday night. Venus will be in dignity in Taurus from April 19 - May 14, bringing stability to relationships and negotiations. Also on Sunday, Mars moves through the degree that Saturn holds while Mercury approaches Mars, setting off a trio of planetary wars that show a jockeying of three planets through the 14th degree of Pisces through Tuesday, when Mercury ends up in the lead, breaking up the knotted up energy, which could feel like a barricade lifted, returning the flow of power and transaction. After the flow returns to Pisces, our attention turns to the week's pivot point, Wednesday, as the waxing Moon joins Jupiter in Punarvasu. Mercury and Mars stay in Pisces, but move from Uttarabhadra where Saturn stands and into Revati, looking to create momentum as they move toward Aries. Mercury moves to Aries April 29 and Mars follows on May 10. Overall, this week shows more favorable energy for the Moon, who moves past Venus, then Jupiter, and then into her own sign of  Cancer. On Saturday, the Moon moves through the tight portal that divides Cancer and Leo, pushing into Leo and joining Ketu next Sunday, which will also break the first pulse of Kala Amrita Yoga that we experience this Spring.The combined effects of the triple conjunction in Pisces and the inevitable influence of Kala Amrita Yoga could make the upcoming week quite impactful as the weight of the planets tip toward changes that require deep concessions, careful maneuvering, and compassionate diplomacy. There is a strong connection through parivartana this week between Jupiter and Mercury as they exchange signs between Gemini and Pisces. Mars piggybacks on Mercury's energy as they move past Saturn, with Mars also casting an aspect Jupiter's way. This suggests that we analyze, strategize, and learn new things from existing structures of experience and wisdom as we navigate obstructions and endings while we contemplate new horizons. The nodes remain strong, with Rahu amplifying chaos in Aquarius/Shatabishak, and Ketu in Leo grooving into Magha. This puts each of the nodes into a nakshatra with which they associate through June 30th, when Rahu moves into Dhanistha, indicating that we may be entering a period of time where events feel fated, intense,Hello!

This week begins with Mercury freshly entered into the press of planets in Pisces, adding momentum to the pressure building as Mars moves in for conjunction with Saturn. The waning Moon starts the week in Capricorn and moves through the extremely active sector of the zodiac, finishing the week in Aries after the new Moon on April 17th, joining the Sun, who moves into its exaltation sign on April 14th. All of this combined sets the stage for a week of stormy astrological weather that could result in physical and emotional challenges that require digging deep into our toolboxes to avert actions that could create long term negative consequences. As Mars moves deeper into Pisces, this is also creating a one-way aspect to Jupiter in Gemini, further pressing and heating our capacity for wise decision making. Avoid letting emotions direct impulsive action by inviting both time and space into the realm of reactions. Additionally, Jupiter has been tempering the chaos from Rahu's strong position, which has perhaps helped in some regard to steer things in a more beneficial way, but that aspect is loosening as Jupiter moves forward toward Cancer and Rahu continues his retreat toward the early degrees of Aquarius.The Moon passes through Pisces on Wednesday and Thursday in a deeply waning state, making those two days this week look a bit challenging. Rather than starting new things on those day, use that energy to finish, complete, clean, and let go. With the new Moon early on April 17th, we can re-set and initiate.Daily Keywords:Sunday 12: RHYTHMIC PRODUCTIVITYMonday 13: HEALING SERVICETuesday 14: ETHERIAL INTROSPECTIONWednesday 15: DISCIPLINED FINISHThursday 16: CLEANSING LIBERATIONFriday 17: INITIATE & ENGAGESaturday 18: FIRE UPHello!

This week begins with a deeply debilitated and waning Moon, reflecting a sense of mental disconnect. The strong trio of planets in Pisces, the last zodiac sign, calls strongly for facing consequences and endings with a sense of needed finality. Saturn in Pisces is the slow moving pillar of this moment, reminding us that all things on earth come to an end, while at the same time, life continues to flow. The powerful energies of both Mars and the Sun surround this pillar, showing our desires for strategy, control, self preservation, and personal agenda attempting to express in a constantly shifting environment where physical reality and spiritual awareness collide.Sensitive and beauty oriented Venus continues to move through fiery Aries, reflecting the need for compassion and diplomacy in the face of aggressive disconnect. Work hard on connections and maintaining relationships through the hard times.Meanwhile the mechanism of Jupiter in Gemini extending positive regard into the dynamic and chaotic churning of Rahu and Mercury in Aquarius is helpful, but the waves may seem so big that the ideas of forward movement and good times ahead seem elusive. This is a week for small steps toward organization in the midst of big picture change.Daily Keywords:Sunday 5: STRENGTHEN ALLIANCESMonday 6: SOLUTIONS & BOUNDARIESTuesday 7: STRATEGY & SECURITYWednesday 8: INTENSE CLEANSINGThursday 9: VICTORIOUS RENEWAL. Friday 10: DEVOTED DISCIPLINE. Saturday 11: SENSITIVE ORGANIZATIONHello!

Join Talk Cosmos | Sunday, March 29 | 1–2 p.m. PDT about the "US 2nd Government" — What does astrology reveal about this powerful moment for America?Most people know July 4, 1776 as the birth of the United States — but that's only part of the story. The Revolutionary War began in 1775, ended in 1781, and was officially concluded with the Treaty of Paris in 1783. The first US government under the Articles of Confederation struggled to survive. So the founders built something stronger.On September 17, 1787 a new Constitution was drafted. Ratified in 1789 with a Bill of Rights protecting individual freedoms. And on March 4, 1789 — Congress convened in New York, elected officers, approved the Constitution, and reorganized the nation. That is America's 2nd Government — and it has its own astrological chart.With the US federal government and Congress front and center right now, this is a conversation you won't want to miss.

April 2026 opens with a sense of pressure and instability, as multiple planetary forces converge in Pisces, creating a complex environment that challenges clarity, confidence, and direction. The full Moon in Virgo highlights the need to reconcile practical reality with the process of release, while Mars, Mercury, and Saturn build toward a potent conjunction that tests strategy, patience, and emotional steadiness. As the Sun moves into Aries, a shift begins toward renewal and forward momentum, supported by Venus finding stability in Taurus and Jupiter offering broader perspective from Gemini. Throughout the month, themes of fate versus free will, restraint versus action, and dissolution versus initiation remain active, asking us to move carefully, think deeply, and act with intention.Hello!

This week bridges March and April, starting with the waxing Moon pushing past Ketu, showing us that a combination of clever maneuvering and well placed force could open the closed gates. The Sun clears out of Saturn's limiting influence, relieving some of the friction from last week. The full Moon in Virgo on Wednesday helps the week to  pivot, urging us to get our hands into our projects and move things forward deliberately.Venus forges ahead alone in Aries/Ashwini, setting the stage for the Sun later in the month, inviting us to switch our creative or business trajectories.Mars enters Pisces before sunrise on April 2, causing a shift in energy as Mars departs Rahu's conjunction and applies to Saturn, taking us from amplified aggression to uncomfortable checks on momentum, perhaps for the better. As the planets continue to file out of Aquarius, eventually leaving the nodal axis alone, with Rahu in Aquarius and Ketu in Leo, we are set up for a series of Kala Amrita Yogas that will ebb and flow with the waxing and waning of the Moon starting mid-month. Mars and Mercury move forward together in Purvabhadra, pointing our bows toward new channels of growth and away from constant chaotic regrouping.Daily Keywords: Sunday March 29- LIBERATE LIGHTMonday March 30 - CREATIVE CONNECTION Tuesday March 31 - DEEP COMMITMENT Wednesday April 1 - HEALING HANDSThursday April 2 - DIVINE DESIGNFriday April 3 - FACE THE FACESaturday April 4- STRATEGIC RESOLVEHello!

With a waxing Moon, retrogrades behind us, and the dynamic energy of Rahu and Mercury in Aquarius still rocking world affairs, we greet an active week ahead. Spring is in the air, inviting nature's urge for new growth and business as usual, but with the foundation of human activity causing extreme instability. The approach of Sun to Saturn in the universal sign of Pisces, which invites divine connection paired with the practical reality of  karmic consequences, brings friction between individual agendas clashing with collective demands.Exalted Venus epitomizes the vision of unconditional love and universal support, acting as inspiration in the midst of feeling powerless in a chaotic environment. Venus pushes through into Aries this week, moving our connections and creativity forward dynamically, with courage. Protect this forward motion with a sense of containment and restraint that will act as an insurance policy for assets.

Unlock the full potential of astrology in New Moon Alignment at ⁠https://www.quietmindastrology.com/newmoonAstrocartography is the study of how your birth chart shifts when you move to a new location. While your core birth planets remain the same, your rising sign and house placements change, altering how those energies manifest in your daily life. In this episode, I explain why there is no "perfect" place for everyone—only the right place for your current intention. We discuss the mechanics of relocation charts, why vertical movement differs from horizontal movement, and how to use astrology as a support for your intuition rather than a replacement for it. Whether you are seeking spiritual growth, career success, or a hospitable place for a family, understanding your local chart helps you navigate potential obstacles and harness unique opportunities.QUOTES“When you move, you get a different birth chart. It changes where all the planets are, all the signs, all the houses are now different in your chart.” “Astrology is best as a support to your intuition, not a replacement for your intuition.” “Life is like a Google search. It all starts with: how can I help you today? Google is useless until you put in the query. What do you want to cultivate?” “Your main birth chart is always primary—it's 80 to 90% of the equation.

Edwin discusses topics such as: What is Vedic Astrology?  ​Vedic astrology, or Jyotish, is the ancient science of understanding planetary influences on our lives. It helps us see how our karma shapes our life experiences. Sanskrit Mantras are used as remedial measures in Vedic Astrology. Sanskrit mantras are powerful sound formulas from ancient India that create spiritual energy to overcome challenges and achieve success. Edwin also shares information on the wearing of gems and colors as remedies for the Vedic planets or "Navagrahas" that are impacting one's life. Edwin addresses questions a listener may have such as: How can a Vedic astrology consultation help me? ​It provides personalized insights based on your birth chart to help you make decisions in areas like relationships, career, and health.

This is the audio portion of my weekly forecast video. If you'd like to look at the charts as I speak, here is the link: https://youtu.be/ofjqDraZ8EsAs we look ahead at this week, the Sun has moved to Pisces, joining Saturn and Venus. The waning Moon joins that Sun for the New Moon in Pisces on Wednesday. The Sun approaches Saturn for a conjunction which will cause a breaking point between ego driven power plays and practical reality.  Both Jupiter and Venus, the great helpers, have come into more power with Venus moving toward exaltation, leading the inner planets out of the pressure cooker of Rahu and Saturn in adjacent signs. Mars begins to move away from Rahu, which has caused explosive energy, in addition to a sudden and chaotic war that seems to have no purpose or plan We also are seeing an increase in seismic and volcanic activity, which is common with a Mars+Rahu conjunction. Retrograde Mercury continues throwing out that wild card energy until March 20, when it exactly conjuncts with Rahu as it stations direct. Jupiter and Ketu out of the main fray indicate finding inner practices to anchor us, looking for the helpers, and learning new perspectives.Daily Keywords:Sunday, March 15 - CAUTIOUS LISTENINGMonday, March 16 - STRATEGIC CALMTuesday, March 17 - INTERNAL PEACEWednesday, March 18 - COMPLETE PAUSE (New Moon)Thursday, March 19 - STABLE STARTFriday, March 20 - INSPIRED CONNECTION (Mercury direct)Saturday, March 21 - HEALING MOVEMENT (Spring begins)Hello!

March 2026 is a month of exposure and recalibration. A Total Lunar Eclipse in Leo reveals vulnerabilities around power and self-expression at the beginnng of March, while Jupiter and Mercury both resume direct motion mid-month, restoring clarity and forward movement. As the Sun enters Pisces and meets Saturn, accountability deepens and illusions dissolve. The turbulence of early March gradually gives way to integration, responsibility, and a quiet but clearer sense of direction.Hello!

March is a divisive, electrically charged month, with all visible planets aligned on one side of the Lunar Nodes. Mars and a retrograde Mercury conjunct the North Node in Aquarius stir unrest, misinformation, and nervous energy, while the ongoing Saturn–Neptune conjunction in Pisces continues to dissolve idealism we can no longer rely on. The compensating factor is Venus exalted in Pisces, offering moments of grace, compassion, and connection amid the frenetic energy. Discernment is more possible, as Jupiter stations direct, keeping a close eye on proceedings.Venus in Pisces (March 1–25)Venus moves through its sign of exaltation, acting as the month's primary stabiliser. While it must pass through the Saturn–Neptune conjunction, it offers emotional softness, creative refuge, and spiritual connection. This supports compassion and empathy, but also warns against idealisation and escapism. Venus here can lift us above the chaos, but also asks us to stay grounded in reality.Full Moon in Leo — Total Lunar Eclipse (March 3)This total lunar eclipse marks a culmination and reckoning, particularly around leadership, authority, fame, and power dynamics. With Ketu involved, there is a stripping away — exposure, reduction, or removal of what no longer aligns with the groundswell movement in Aquarius. Personally, this eclipse asks for reflection on autonomy, self-expression, and projection. Collectively, it can fuel groupthink and scapegoating, even as it brings necessary revelations. Stillness, rather than reaction, is the wiser response.Jupiter Stations Direct in Gemini (March 11)Jupiter's direct station begins a slow restoration of perspective. Though uncomfortable in Gemini, Jupiter here encourages reassessment of information, narratives, and assumptions. This is not instant clarity, but a shift toward wiser discernment. It's a moment to pause, review what you know, and accept that decisions may still need to be provisional as the bigger picture emerges.Mars and Mercury Conjunct the North Node (March 13–15)This is one of the most volatile signatures of the month. Mars conjoined Rahu exaggerates drive, anger, and nervous tension before depletion sets in. Energy spikes are followed by burnout; action without awareness leads to disruption. This transit correlates with unrest, accidents, blackouts, tech issues, and erratic behaviour. The demand is for new strategies, not brute force. Persistence without adaptability may backfire.Sun in Pisces (March 14 – April 12)The Sun joins Saturn and Neptune, spotlighting leadership crises, power struggles, and confusion about direction. This exposes weaknesses, dissolving outdated structures. Though heavy, it offers the potential for humility, reflection, and recalibration — especially if ego is set aside. Equinox (March 20)The Equinox marks a threshold moment — a balance point between light and dark. With the New Moon and Lunar New Year occurring the day before, this period calls for slowness, attentiveness, and conscious transition. Rather than pushing forward, this is a moment to sense where the year is truly heading.New Moon in Pisces — Lunar New Year (March 19)This New Moon begins the Vedic year Parābhava, associated with decline, defeat, and the fall of entrenched power. Occurring in Uttara Bhādrapadā, it carries emotional gravity, moral seriousness, and the need for retreat. This is a deep reset — slow, deliberate, and foundational. The changes seeded now unfold over the coming year, demanding patience and trust in a longer arc of change.Mercury Stations Direct (March 21)Mercury's station brings the sense that movement is possible again, but with an important caveat: it remains tightly conjunct Rahu. While ideas and plans begin to take shape, confusion and distortion persist. This is a preparatory phase, not a moment for final decisions. Keep options open and allow clarity to mature into April.

What if the stars were more than just distant specks of light? What if they whispered the stories of our souls, mapping out the twists and turns of our journey before we even took our first breath? On today's episode, we welcome Vish Chatterji, a Vedic Astrologer, engineer, and executive coach, who takes us beyond the cocktail party banter of sun signs and horoscopes into the ancient and deeply spiritual science of Jyotish.Unlike Western astrology, which often focuses on personality and psychology, Vedic Astrology—or Jyotish—serves as a cosmic blueprint for the soul. It is not merely a tool to predict our future, but a guide to understanding the karmic imprints we bring into this life.As Vish Chatterji explains, “The Vedic astrology chart is basically a map of karmas that you will face in this lifetime based on whatever you've done in previous lifetimes.” In other words, our cosmic fingerprint reveals where we have been and how we can align with our highest potential.But let's take a step back. How did a man trained in the rigor of engineering and corporate leadership end up delving into the mystical world of planetary influence? As Vish tells it, skepticism was his first reaction. He approached astrology as any good engineer would: by testing it. Over time, as he mapped planetary influences to real-life events with startling accuracy, he realized that this ancient science had something modern logic could not easily explain. It wasn't about superstition—it was about patterns, energy, and the unseen currents that shape our lives.Through the lens of Vedic Astrology, everything is a dance of cosmic forces. Planets are not just celestial bodies; they are energetic archetypes shaping our experiences. Mars, with its fiery aggression, influences our drive and conflicts. Venus, the planet of love and beauty, governs relationships and harmony.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/next-level-soul-podcast-with-alex-ferrari--4858435/support.Take your spiritual journey to the next level with Next Level Soul TV — our dedicated streaming home for conscious storytelling and soulful transformation.Experience exclusive programs, original series, movies, tv shows, workshops, audiobooks, meditations, and a growing library of inspiring content created to elevate, heal, and awaken.

This week's podcast guest is Achala Mihajlović. Achala started her spiritual journey at the early age of 16, and met her Satguru, Paramahamsa Vishwananda, at 17. Just a year later she became an Atma Kriya Yoga teacher and started to teach this ancient science of yoga and meditation in various countries. When she came across the science of Vedic Astrology in 2009, she fell in love with it – not because of its predictive accuracy, but because she realised that astrology is a powerful tool for personal and spiritual development. Currently an author of 5 books, she is also hosting a number of courses.In this week's episode we cover the following topics:Hindu ScripturesThe PuranasThe Markandeya Purana Devi Mahatmiya Goddess KaliGoddess LakshmiGoddess SaraswatiRaja, Tama & Sattva GunasAutonomic nervous system Lord Brahma, Vishnu & SivaChakras, nadis & granthis Navaratri Visit Achala:Website: https://discoveringyouniverse.com/Academy: https://academy.discoveringyouniverse.com/Journey with the Goddess: https://academy.discoveringyouniverse.com/courses/journey-with-goddess-navaratri-workshop/Journey with the Navagrahas: https://academy.discoveringyouniverse.com/courses/journey-with-the-navagrahas/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@DiscoveringYouniverseVisit Law of Positivism:https://www.instagram.com/lawofpositivism/Website: https://www.lawofpositivism.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/lawofpositivism/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/lawofpositivismTikTok: www.tiktok.com/@lawofpositivism

Free Live Workshop: Become Your Own Astrologer - RSVP here: https://www.quietmindastrology.com/workshopIn this episode, I dive deep into the astrological forecast for January 2026, exploring the six significant transits that set the tone for the new year. Broadcasting from Mexico, I discuss how to navigate the intense "combust" energy of early January, the shift into practical Capricorn energy mid-month, and how to harness these forces to set realistic goals and systems. I also touch on the importance of mentorship, the "rider and elephant" metaphor for the subconscious, and specific insights for your Vedic rising and moon signs.Key TopicsCombust Energy in Sagittarius (Early Jan): The year begins with a stellium in Sagittarius (Sun, Mars, Venus, Mercury), creating a mix of optimism and intensity. The "combust" nature of these planets can lead to irritability, relationship friction, and high "Pitta" (fire) energy.Navigating Relationship Conflict: With Venus combust, relationship tensions may arise. The advice is to pause, regulate emotions, and channel energy into physical activities rather than engaging in heated conflicts.The Shift to Capricorn (Mid-Jan): Around January 13-16, the energy shifts significantly as planets move into Capricorn. This transition invites us to move from dreaming big to implementing grounded systems and "Atomic Habits."Pluto & The Subconscious: As the stellium joins Pluto, I explore the "rider and elephant" metaphor. This creates a powerful opportunity to uncover and heal hidden subconscious blocks that derail our resolutions.New Moon in Uttara Ashadha (Jan 18): A powerful new moon offers "invincible" energy for starting new ventures, setting business foundations, and committing to long-term discipline.Occurring on Jan 3rd, this transit brings emotional shifting, cleansing, and necessary releasing to start the year.Ardra is ruled by Rudra (the storm god), emphasizing big energy shifts and new intellectual perspectives.The year starts with a heavy concentration of planets in Sagittarius (adventure, travel).The Sun outshines (combusts) Mars, Venus, and Mercury, which can lead to hidden hostility, aggression, and irritability.Timestamps00:00 | Welcome & Introduction00:51 | Full Moon in Gemini (Ardra Nakshatra)02:02 | Stellium in Sagittarius & Combust Planets03:41 | Managing Relationships & "Pitta" Energy06:13 | The Shift into Capricorn: Systems Over Goals09:51 | Pluto & The Subconscious (The Elephant Metaphor)12:49 | Clearing the "Junk Drawer" of Life15:14 | New Moon in Uttara Ashadha (Jan 18)17:49 | The Power of Mentorship20:02 | Workshop & ClosingFree Weekly Horoscopes & Exclusive offers: https://www.quietmindastrology.com/fr...Free Vedic Birth Chart & Training:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://www.quietmindastrology.com/fr...Instagram:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠   / quietmindastrology  Decode Your Birth Chart: https://www.quietmindastrology.com/1011:1 Reading: https://www.quietmindastrology.com/re...Mentorship: https://www.quietmindastrology.com/me...Quietmind Yoga: https://www.quietmind.yoga

Welcome to the first Soulful Valley Podcast episode of 2026 In this powerful New Year transmission, Soulfulvalley is joined by returning guest Lalitha Donatella Reback for an in-depth exploration of 2026 through the lens of Vedic astrology, the fixed stars, and the accelerated timelines humanity is now living within.  This episode goes far beyond surface-level horoscopes.  Lalitha shares:  • Why time is speeding up and how this impacts manifestation, karma and decision-making  • The transition into Satya Yuga (the Golden Age / Shakti Yuga) and what it means for soul-led individuals • The split in collective consciousness and how to consciously choose your timeline • Cosmic alignments, galactic influences and the role of prayer, meditation and frequency • Why intuition, dreams and the body's wisdom are becoming non-negotiable tools • Predictions for every zodiac sign using Vedic (Sidereal) astrology, based on the Moon sign rather than the Sun Lalitha shares grounded, dharmic insights on leadership, money, relationships, health, spirituality and global shifts, while reminding us that miracles are not worked for, they are attracted through frequency. This episode is an invitation to: • Trust your intuition  • Release outdated timelines • Choose conscious evolution • Lead with integrity, love and self-responsibility If you've felt the pull to slow down, listen deeper, and align your life with something greater in 2026, this conversation will meet you exactly where you are.  Applications are also open for upcoming Soulful Valley book collaborations, including the Soulful Poems series and Evolving on Purpose: Angels, Spirit Guides & the Frequency of Miracles.   Plus, discover more about the award-winning Movie Zero Limits, now streaming, and its ripple effect across global consciousness.

In this episode, we explore how to support steady blood sugar during the holiday season using Ayurvedic wisdom. With more sugar, irregular meals, travel, and stress during the holidays, it's easy for the body's metabolic fire (agni) to become overwhelmed. Ayurveda offers practical, gentle tools to keep digestion strong, cravings balanced, and energy steady. We take a deeper look at the pancreas as a home of agni and how its function relates to three key subdoshas: Pachaka Pitta, Kledaka Kapha, and Samana Vayu. You'll learn how these forces work together to regulate metabolism, mood, and digestive rhythm and why sugar crashes are both a physical and emotional imbalance. You'll also discover: Why holiday habits disrupt blood sugar How sugar cravings form from an Ayurvedic standpoint Simple remedies for sugar crashes Spices that naturally support metabolic balance Eating rhythms and lifestyle tools that strengthen agni Practices to prevent toxins (ama) and emotional overload during the festive season Whether you struggle with cravings, energy dips, or digestive heaviness this time of year, this episode offers grounded, practical support to help you stay balanced through the holidays.
