This New Moon in Aquarius falls in Dhaniṣṭhā and takes the form of an annular solar eclipse. This is a highly charged reset. The eclipse is hemmed in by powerful planetary forces: Mars and Pluto on one side, Saturn and Neptune on the other, with Venus exactly conjunct Rahu. Mercury is drawn into the mix, while Jupiter aspects from Gemini and is itself aspected by Rahu. Everything is activated. Eve...

The Full Moon in Cancer is associated with themes of safety and emotional security. With so much change unfolding across the zodiac in Capricorn, reflected in structures of the world, concerns around home and safety naturally come to the foreground. Capricorn governs both large and small systems, many of which are being reshaped by Pluto’s ongoing transit, creating a collective sense of instabilit...

By February, several planets move into Aquarius, converging with the North Node Rahu and hemmed in by Mars and Saturn. This pressure can correlate with major disruptions, such as seismic activity affecting the oceans, and intensified geopolitical stress triggered by extreme events. A powerful annular solar eclipse opens the door to important changes and conversations, shining a spotlight on what m...

This New Moon marks an important new start for 2026. It’s not the enthusiastic beginning to the New Year. It’s a sober appraisal of what is realistically possible. Every New Moon is a beginning, and this one is a reality check. As the big hopes of Sagittarius settle into Capricorn’s practical terrain, we are asked to see which dreams can be made real. Depending on how grounded your expectations ar...

A look at the deeper forces shaping 2026 by tracking the outer planets through their sidereal lunar mansions - and the critical role Saturn plays in tying them together. Pluto’s long passage through Capricorn, Neptune’s dissolution of boundaries in Pisces, and Uranus’ disruption of material resources in Taurus are not separate stories. They are part of a single unfolding cycle, with Saturn giving...

The Full Moon opens the year with optimism and curiosity about what lies ahead. The Moon is conjoined Jupiter in Gemini, in the lunar mansion Ārdrā, ruled by Rudra, the ‘god of storms’, emotional and otherwise. This combination amplifies big ideas, restless thinking, and a sense of possibility, as we resolve some conflict. Jupiter and the North Node (Rahu) aspect each other, showing more creative...

When we speak about the winter Solstice as a celebration of the Sun’s rebirth in the northern hemisphere, we must also acknowledge an astronomical fact: The Solstice no longer occurs in the same star sign it once did. The seasonal cycle is fixed, but the stellar backdrop has shifted, and with it, the symbolism and meaning of our Solstice - and Christmas - celebrations. Precession of the Equinoxes...

The Moon meets the Sun at the beginning of Sagittarius, in the lunar mansion Mūla. Mūla means 'root', pointing both to our cosmic origins (the galactic centre viewed through this sign), and to our personal and collective roots as a family and as a species. These themes often rise to the surface as we enter the holidays and reconnect with relatives we may not see all year. Mūla helps us get...

Darinka Maja joins me to discuss the various indicators of mental health and well-being in the Vedic chart, and how these might be obstructed.

The Full Moon occurs in sidereal Taurus, in the lunar mansion Rohiṇī , which I like to call ‘the comfortable one’. This reflects Taurus’ warm, passionate, and pleasure-seeking nature. Its symbol, a chariot, represents wealth, comfort, and the finer things in life. In myth, Rohiṇī was the Moon’s favourite wife (nakṣatra), and the Moon stayed with her longer than the others. This represents staying...

Jupiter retrogrades back into Gemini on December 5, with planets moving into Sagittarius for a fiery exchange. By the end of the month, a Mercury–Jupiter sign exchange brings more clarity, even if we are still sketchy on the details or feel somewhat confused (Saturn-Neptune).Jupiter’s return to Gemini asks us to review our hopes (9th house) and dreams (12th house) and communicate something more me...

In the second part about remedial measures in Indian astrology, I'm joined by Marian Babity, a long-time student of astrology. We discuss what karma is and how best to approach our remedies so they help us align with what is.

The Moon reaches its exact degree of debilitation as it joins the Sun and Mercury (retrograde) in Scorpio during the dark lunar phase. This can bring feelings of vulnerability along with deeper insights. Mars’s presence adds strength and renewal. Though Mercury’s retrograde may cause setbacks, this period is ideal for rethinking what or who you are dedicating yourself to. With Jupiter’s supportive...

How to spot them. What they mean. All planets periodically appear to move backwards in the sky. Retrogrades highlight turning points, where a planet’s influence becomes more complex and internalised. They invite us to slow down, revisit unfinished business, and redirect energy inward for renewal. Whether it’s Mercury stirring up communication issues or Jupiter challenging clarity of purpose, each...

Kishori joins me to discuss Kṛttikā, the lunar mansion that bridges Aries and Taurus. Kṛttikā means ‘to cut’ and shows a critical nature. Its symbols are a knife and a blade. Its ruling deity is the god of fire. Fire can either warm or burn, and this sign can do both, while blades can be used to heal or to kill.

The Full Moon falls in Bharaṇī, a Venus-related lunar mansion. With Venus positioned opposite in Libra, there’s potential for balance amid intensity. Venus’ fiery nature fuels passion and creative expression. Bharaṇī, meaning ‘she who bears’, represents creative power and the endurance required to bring something into being. It teaches that to achieve something, we must release something else. A F...

Venus enters Libra by the beginning of November, strengthening the Sun’s weaker position and encouraging cooperation after a period of less-than-ideal relational transits. Fairness may prevail, but tension between Mercury and Mars in Scorpio continues to test peaceful negotiation. When Mercury stations retrograde on November 9 , returning to clash with Mars for a second time on November 12 , commu...

The dark Moon on October 21 marks the darkest period in the Indian astrological year, though the literal darkest days of winter come later. In India, this time is celebrated as Diwali , the festival of lights . The Sun, Moon, and Venus are all in their signs of debilitation — the Sun in Libra, the Moon in Scorpio from October 24–26 , and Venus in Virgo, making this a low point. Yet there’s a bless...

The Moon reaches fullness in Revatī, the final lunar mansion, marking a natural point of endings. This Full Moon invites peace through surrender. Letting go is a gradual process, but when we allow things to unfold, we create space for simply being. Pisces reflects the need for withdrawing despite a Full Moon typically being a more social time of the month. Revatī, meaning 'abundant'. It sh...

Venus enters Virgo, its sign of debilitation, on October 9. The mood dips, with more fault-finding. Mercury’s exchange with Venus softens the blow: thoughtful words can improve what feels off. The Sun enters Libra on October 17, a yearly low, yet Jupiter’s move into exalted Cancer on October 18 brings hope. Faith grows stronger when darkness descends. Yet Jupiter’s stall at Cancer’s first degree (...

Two weeks after the Full Moon and total lunar eclipse on September 7, this partial solar eclipse (almost total) releases the built-up emotions, shifting the focus inward as the Sun and Moon align. Though only visible in parts of the southern hemisphere, its effects ripple worldwide. The eclipsed Sun opposes Saturn, highlighting clashes between authority and the masses, with protests and social unr...

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 stabili...

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...

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...
