Transit Thursdays with Didi Paterno

Today, I talk about the FIRST or 1st House of 12 Vedic astrological houses. This is the House of SELF. So if there's one word to keep in mind and take away from this episode, it is SELF or the INDIVIDUAL. What exactly makes you, who you are. Real life case studies in every episode! Thanks for joining!

Before we dive into each of the bhavas, I give a quick overview of some classifications/significations of each of the 12 Bhavas/Astrological Houses in Vedic astrology.

Hello and welcome to Season TWO of Transit Thursday: A Vedic Astrology Tutorial with Didi Paterno (That's me!). After tackling the planets or grahas, let's now talk about them houses or bhavas. I explain why this is my approach to learning instead of jumping ahead to the zodiac signs.

The one where I talk about Ketu, the South Node or the descending node. I honestly felt the energy of Ketu here. What did you think? Thus concludes season ONE! Hope to see you in Season TWO soon.

Part 1 of 2: The one half of the shadow planets in Vedic astrology. I talk about Rahu - magic, obsessions, the illusion and the sleight of hand. Rahu is said to be scary, but also great things come out of it, too!

Who got daddy issues? Saturn or Shani does! Get to know how and why.

Jupiter or Guru/Brihaspati is The Golden Boy of the Vedic astrology-verse. Let's get to know more about the greatest protector and benefic of the universe (astronomy factoids included!)

Is there such a thing as the Perfect Time? In Vedic astrology, YES! So what is it exactly? Let me tell you more.

The favorite of romantics, artists and sweet toothed folk - Venus or Shukra. NSFW for mention of the P and F word. Keep on earphone mode.

I talk about the red one - Mars or Mangala as he is known in the Vedic astrology-verse. The one where I talk about the GOATS, Michael Jordan and Serena Williams, and me (CHAR!)

Budha, budhi, mercury - I talk about some facts about the word in Sanskrit and Tagalog. And of course, the planet mercury in the Vedic astrology universe.

Of course, there is a Queen to the King. With the day, there is also night and the Moon or Chandra rules the night skies. Listen for the telenovela like origin story of the moon.

All hail the King! I talk about the most popular planet in astrology - The Sun or Surya in Sanskrit.

Why do we even bother with astrology? I tell you why I think so. WARNING: NSFW with mention of p3n!$ at 27:00. Don't worry. It's related to Vedic astrology content for sure.

You mean, I don't have just ONE sign? Yup. There are three BASIC ones to know (but there can be more...more on that next time!) as a baby in astrology.

What is a birth chart? What does it do? Let's discuss!

A lot of people are scared about astrology because of a lot of things. Does astrology really dictate my fate? Is there such a thing as destiny? What about karma? I talk all about this here.

Did you even know that there were different kinds of astrology? What is Vedic astrology even? I talk about that here.

How did I stumble into the rabbit hole of Vedic astrology? I take a trip down memory lane when there were still newspapers actually made out of paper and read in your hands.

This is my very first episode of TRANSIT THURSDAYS! I wanted to give this a jolly good try and set down the intention on what I want to bring to the world as a Vedic astrologer in learning.

Welcome to Transit Thursday! I'm Didi Paterno, she/her - writer, tarot card reader and Vedic astrologer in learning. I'm here to share with you what I learn as I learn Vedic astrology as a science & art. Hope you join me and tune in every Thursday!
