The Birth Chart of Pope Leo XIV and the Grace of Secret Shame
On Sunday 8 June, we held our monthly AstroliJam. This month’s subject was Pope Leo XIV, born Robert Francis Prevost, newly elected leader of the Catholic Church.
Without a recorded time of birth, we used life events and personality traits to hypothesize a possible rising sign for natal chart interpretation. We explored cards of truth, timing techniques, transits, and even the Sidereal perspective to refine the chart further. From Kaal Sarpa Yoga’s intensity, to Jupiter’s dignified position in Leo and a potential secret shame, the indicators all point toward a leader shaped by surrender, love, and a higher calling.
If this kind of astrological detective work fascinates you, join us for our next AstroliJam on Sunday, 13 July or explore deeper patterns in spiritual charts in our Redemption Arc Detective Tier on 5 July at pateron.com/fionamarques.

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.
Are you curious to see if Amma’s birth chart aligns with her remarkable life? 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!
