Timeline Astrology

Kishori joins me to look at the second lunar mansion within the star sign (sidereal) Aries: Bharaṇī. Bharaṇī  means ‘she who bears’ and represents the power of creation, as well as the forbearance that is required in giving birth to something. The symbol is the female genitalia, and the ruling deity is the god of restraint. Something must be relinquished to achieve a goal. This is a very creative...

This Full Moon in sidereal Capricorn peaks as Mars opposes Saturn, creating tension and heightened emotions, especially around feelings of restriction or pressure. Capricorn demands patience and focus—qualities needed even more with this intense Mars-Saturn opposition. The Moon aligns with Śravaṇa , the 'star sign of listening', symbolised by an ear and three footsteps. Śravaṇa connects us to know...

The month begins with retrograde Mercury meeting the Sun in mid-Cancer, sparking fresh ideas. However, Mercury remains in review mode until August 11 , urging caution in planning—especially as both Mercury and the Sun oppose Pluto. After Mercury turns direct, clarity begins to return, though plans may not fully take shape until after August 25 , when Mercury clears its 'shadow'. By mid-month, the...

Some astrologers argue against using intuition when reading charts, but astrology is both a science and an art. In this podcast, I explain why intuition is essential—because you're using it anyway—but emphasise the need to support it with solid knowledge. Without that foundation, you risk falling into misunderstanding or personal bias.

The New Moon in Cancer, occurring during Mercury retrograde, emphasises the importance of self-care and reflection on what truly nourishes you. This lunar month invites you to focus on creating emotional safety and tending to your inner needs. The New Moon falls in Puṣya , meaning 'flowering' (pushyati), a gentle and supportive lunar mansion ruled by Brihaspati (Jupiter), the divine teache...

What it means. What to do about it. Practical measures for : Sun in Libra Moon in Scorpio Mars in Cancer Mercury in Pisces Jupiter in Capricorn Venus in Virgo Saturn in Aries

Remedial measures are an important part of having a Vedic astrology reading; however, many people approach them with a sense of blame that sets them up to fail from the get-go. In this podcast, I discuss the ways we fail in our remedies and how we might best remedy the situation.

This Full Moon in Sagittarius coincides with Guru Pūrṇimā , a traditional time in India to honour teachers and spiritual guides. Jupiter, the guru, is opposite the Moon in Gemini, stirring mental activity, while the Moon seeks wisdom and stillness in Sagittarius. Saturn, watching from Pisces, reminds us to approach this Full Moon with focus and reverence. The Moon shines bright in the lunar mansio...

As Mars approaches Ketu in Leo, Saturn and Neptune station retrograde in close conjunction, signalling the potential collapse of major structures and the beginning of reform. We’ve already seen some major catastrophic events that reflect this combination. There are likely more to follow as Mars and Ketu edge closer together throughout July. Personally, this is a time of reinvention and breakthroug...

Kishori joins me to discuss the first lunar mansion Aśvinī, which  means ‘horse’, a symbol of its swiftness and drive. Courageous and sometimes a little impulsive, its ruling deities are the twin horsemen and physicians to the gods. Its swiftness is beneficial in sporting activities, as well as in anything that spikes adrenaline, while health and travel are my interests.

This lunar month begins with the New Moon in Gemini, in the intense lunar mansion of Ārdrā, conjunct Jupiter. There’s a strong desire for clarity, but a need to go within to find it. Mercury is in Cancer, exchanging signs with the Moon in Gemini. Communication may be more emotional, with instincts dictating decisions. As Mercury slows down and prepares to retrograde in July, we’re reminded of an i...

The Full Moon in Scorpio, in the lunar mansion Jyeṣṭhā, marks a powerful time of transformation . With Mars transiting Leo and conjunct Ketu, this Full Moon squares the lunar nodes in Leo and Aquarius, activating all fixed signs. Scorpio prepares you for what lies ahead. As Mars nears Ketu, some disruption is likely. The best advice? Prepare for the worst, hope for the best. This Full Moon, at the...

Venus enters Aries on 31 May , and Mars moves from Cancer into Leo on 6 June , joining Ketu. These transits begin to heat things up, potentially triggering political and/or economic upheaval due to some sort of attack or natural disaster. Saturn and Neptune move closer together, indicating further destabilisation, perhaps because of a major attack and conflict indicated by Mars and Ketu. There’s l...

The New Moon in Taurus occurs in Rohiṇī, the Moon’s favourite lunar mansion. Rohiṇī means “the red one,” reflecting its warmth, sensuality, and creative energy. Symbolised by a chariot and ruled by the god of creation, it brings a fertile, abundant energy—ideal for envisioning new beginnings, though the actual day of the New Moon is better suited for reflection and planning rather than action. Wit...

A sidereal view of Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto's transits along with their tropical placements. Uranus has just moved into sidereal Taurus (March) and the 'trade wars' have truly begun. Neptune continues to transit sidereal Pisces and propaganda is rife. Pluto continues to transit sidereal Capricorn, slowing dismantling the 'word order'.

Want to know how it will likely play out for your sign? Listen to forecasts for each rising and Moon sign for the year ahead. Jupiter enters sidereal Gemini on 14 May 2025, zipping through the sign until 18 October, when it briefly enters Cancer before stationing retrograde on the edge of something more hopeful. It then returns to Gemini from 6 December 2025 until 1 June 2026, asking us to review...

The Full Moon reaches its peak at the end of Libra, in the lunar mansion Viśākhā. This lunar mansion spans Libra and Scorpio, blending the softness of Venus with the intensity of Mars. Its name, meaning "two-branched," symbolises choice and duality—often linked to Libra’s scales. In the Vedic tradition, Viśākhā is also symbolised by a decorated archway, representing milestones and commitment. Viśā...

Mercury moves out of debilitation by May 6 , leaving Venus behind in Pisces. Venus’s exaltation can now be enjoyed without feeling overwhelmed by trying to work out all the details. Mercury in Pisces may have taken the sheen off an exalted Venus, possibly through things not working out as planned. Nothing like something going wrong to bring down the mood! With the Sun now also exalted in Aries, we...

On April 27, the Moon and Sun align at the cusp of two lunar mansions: Aśvinī and Bharaṇī, in the middle of sidereal Aries. This lunation, like recent ones, occurs on a threshold. Aśvinī represents swift, instinctive action, while Bharaṇī brings restraint and focus. Aries contains both these tendencies: bold initiative and a struggle with self-discipline. This New Moon calls for mindfulness, espec...

Kishori joins me for a new series in our 'Maps of Consciousness'. Here, we explore the nakshatras or lunar mansions of Vedic astrology, which show the storyline of your life - from the very first lunar mansion at birth (Moon's position), through all the subsequent mansions and dashas (planetary periods) that time them. We begin at the most appropriate place in any story - at the beginning. The fir...

This Full Moon occurs at the last degree of Virgo and the Sun at the last degree of Pisces, on the edge of something great. It falls in the lunar mansion Citrā, ruled by the 'celestial architect' and symbolizing creativity, design, and the pursuit of an ideal life. Virgo plans perfection; Libra, which follows, reminds us to keep everything in balance. Yet, it’s a complex lunation. Mercury,...

A look at Saturn's transit through sidereal Pisces and its lunar mansion, including its conjunctions with Rahu and Neptune and its retrograde transit each year.

Mars re-enters Cancer on April 2, bringing with it frustration and lack of direction, or at least a direct direction. With Saturn moving into Pisces, beginning the process of dissolving old structures, concerns mount around security and stability. As Saturn conjoins the north node and Neptune, further concern about what is sustainable is likely. Discernment is crucial. While some dreams may come t...

This is a powerful New Moon, marking a partial solar eclipse and the start of the New Lunar Year in the Vedic calendar—a time of profound reset. While it may feel chaotic at first, clarity will emerge in the coming weeks. The eclipse coincides with major planetary shifts. Saturn changes signs and joins most other planets in Pisces, a sign of endings. The eclipse occurs in Uttara Bhādrapada, a naks...
