That Solar eclipse last week came in strong. It was like a wave, long building, finally hitting the shore. As mentioned in my earlier post about it, a solar eclipse can block the light, or reveal the shadows, of leaders, including Presidents, Prime Ministers and other government ministers, Royals, religious and spiritual leaders. And boy did it! The Solar eclipse of February 17th was in Aquarius with the Sun and Moon in the north orbit, called Rahu in Jyotish, and conjoined by Venus, Mars. A strong theme with Aquarius is “power to the people.” Saturn was in Aquarius during the French Revolution, from which emerged the French motto of liberty, equality, fraternity (non-hierarchical relationships). Case Study: Andrew Mountbatten Windsor has Sun and Mercury in Aquarius in the 8th house, in a Nakshatra exchange with Rahu, and right now in his Sun/Rahu planetary period. If Royals still had Jyotishis advising, they would have told him this was coming… It’s written in the stars. Epstein had Mars Venus in Aquarius, so his name remains prominent. Chopra has Aquarius rising, and Moon in Virgo (ruled by Mercury) in the 8th house. He is currently in a Moon-Virgo-Rahu period. (He also has Venus, Ketu in Scorpio.) Virginia Giuffre had no planets there but she has Aquarius on her 8th house, which can represent emotional or sexual injury, as well as scandal, but can also represent Moksha. I wish she had lived to see this. May she rest in peace and in power, and be eternally liberated by the work that continues in her name 🙏🏽__#vedicastrology #jyotish #solareclipse #sidereal #mayallbeingsbefree ... See MoreSee Less

Art by @charliemackesy Mercury goes retrograde today, in Aquarius, inside the eclipse portal, conjoined by Sun, Venus, Mars and Rahu, the north lunar node. That’s a lot of energy on Aquarius 🏺♒️If you have Aquarius ascendant or Moon, things may be intense right now. With Rahu there, shadows are revealing. Look to see which house Aquarius occupies in your Jyotish sidereal chart. That’s where this energy will be pushing you. Mercury will be retrograde intil March 20. You know the drill - be careful, mind the details, review contracts, clean up your accounts. The first and last few days are usually the most intense, but the lunar eclipse on March 3rd further complicates things. Anyway, we live through Mercury retrogrades three times every year, and eclipses twice a year, it’s just a reminder to be mindful. Mercury in Aquarius is very curious and wants to work out the how of things. How does this work? How can it be improved? How can we come together to make a better world? Follow your curiosity, but let it be towards ideals and higher visions. Paint, or write or walk to find your deeper voice. It’s there, and it’s needed. Always with love,🙏🏽__#vedicastrology #jyotish #sidereal #mercuryretrograde #aquarius ... See MoreSee Less

Embodied spirituality is the practice of grounding divine, transcendent energy directly into the physical body, treating the body not as an obstacle but as a sacred vessel for wisdom, consciousness, and transformation. By fostering deeper, felt presence, it builds resilience against stress, enhances emotional regulation, and integrates mind, body, and spirit. Instead of bypassing physical sensations, this approach honors the body’s wisdom as a gateway to the divine, focused on integrating spiritual energy into the daily, lived, bodily experience.It seems to me this is a powerful, beautiful response to the abuses we are seeing in spiritual teachers. A solution, and a reminder. Too often the teachings point or “letting go” or “just do your inner work” and while of course we must do our inner work, to me that is level one spirituality. Once we have engaged in the inner experience, truly felt into what is alive within, deeply embraced our wounds to gently love them into healing, then the heart softens. Once we step into that softening we feel the pulse of interconnectedness, and we want all beings everywhere to experience this too - that all beings everywhere will also be free. If one takes Vedic wisdom only as an intellectual practice, to simply repeat “everything is consciousness”, so that “nothing is real,” then where are the guardrails that prevent harm? If “God is a construct but cute girls are real” then can you see how this can lead to *anything goes? But if our spiritual practice drops from emptying the mind into grounding in the heart, which is the true place where we feel unity, oneness, coherence, then our sense of interconnectedness leads to “love thy neighbor”, to ahimsa or “first do no harm” - and even in higher states of awakening, to leaning into the bodhisattva notion of making your life a blessing to help and uplift others. “Whatsoever you do to the least of my brothers, that you do unto me.” ~ JC, Luke 9“We can slip into the Beautiful with the same ease as we slip into the seamless embrace of water.” ~ O’DonohueI wish you well. I wish peace to all 🙏🏽 ... See MoreSee Less
