Newsletter - Pain - 21 May 2021
It's easy to think that Life Coaching is about goals setting, but, Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) reminds us that we can be motivated 'towards' a goal OR 'away' from an obstacle, threat or risk. In many cases, it is hidden 'away from' motivators that are really sabotaging our success no matter how many goals we set. Covering opioids, the 8 limbs of yoga, planetary relationships (Lajjitaadi Avasthas), active planetary sabotage (Drik Bala), the placement of Saturn, Nodal Vimshottari time periods (dasas) and so much more!

Newsletter - "Topography" - 14 May 2021

The chart shows the state of the 'military units' you have at your disposal, where they have been deployed and features of the 'terrain'. Take a deeper look through this newsletter and by watching the video. Then you can reflect on what your 'topographical map' shows about your life and approach!
Covering Papakatari Yoga, Kubera Tulya Raja Yoga and Adhi Yoga.

Fiona Marques introduces a new group called Redemption Arc Detectives to her patrons on Patreon patreon.com/fionamarques, aimed at individuals struggling with complex astrological placements like Lajjitaadi Avashtas or difficult conjunctions in their birth charts. The group investigates these placements, seeks remedies, and shares experiences for mutual learning and support. The group emphasizes respectful communication.
