Exploring Amma’s Birth Chart, AstroliJam, Krittika Nakshatra, Taurus Moon and Mother’s Day
What can Vedic Astrology reveal about the life and spiritual journey of Amma, the Hugging Saint? This was the task we set ourselves in last week’s AstroliJam. We explored her Moon in Taurus in Krittika Nakshatra, her Jupiter in Gemini shaping her transformative embrace, and the fascinating connections between her chart and themes of moksha, nurturing, and devotion. Along the way, personal synchronicities and cosmic revelations emerged—including a dream-guided journey to meet Amma in Barcelona.

Why don’t you join us for our next AstroliJam to see how her birth chart connects to Pope Leo XIV or maybe join our current Redemption Arc Detectives case study? Dive into the full blog post and join us for the next AstroliJam!
