BONUS Episode - this week sees a mega birthday for me. While I was not able to be in my hometown to mark the event, what better way to honour the occasion than with an episode all about the Vedic Astrology of Place! Join Kody Henry and me as we examine both the Sidereal and Tropical Vedic Astrology charts of Canberra, Australia's National Capital. While this is truly the niche-iest of niche-y topics - you might be surprised to hear about the roles Saturn, Mercury, a Lajjita Avastha, a Venus-Mars conjunction, Rahu-Ketu on 11-5 and Gemini-Sagittarius, not to mention an important 12th House have all played in the life of this city, its inhabitants and traditional owners. Find out more about Canberra and its unique heritage at Canberra's history | National Capital Authority (nca.gov.au) https://www.nca.gov.au/education/canberras-history.

Chapter 11 Verses 14-16 of Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra outlines the formula for calculating the Prosperity or Annihilation of a House in a Birth Chart. While it can be distressing to be assessed as having an 'annihilated' house - yikes! - is the BPHS formula actually revealing the secret life-coaching levers that we can use to pivot our behaviour and create success? Join me as I revisit the factors involved in the formula and discuss possible insights arising from each question of Annihilation. In the discussion, I also touch on Professor Snape from "Harry Potter", "There's a Hole in My Sidewalk: The Romance of Self-Discovery" by Portia Nelson and "Milton's Secret" - a film based on the work of Ekhart Tolle. I hope you enjoy and I look forward to your feedback.

What’s the difference between being an Astrologer and being a Counsellor? What are the Pearls and Pitfalls of the therapeutic application of Vedic Astrology? Can we get out of our depth? Can we cause harm? In this episode, Susan Balka LPC joins the Vedic Astrology Podcast to discuss the main differences and similarities between Vedic Astrologers and Counsellors. We cover how the Lajjitaadi Avasthas relate to Attachment Theory, Emotophobia and its link to Ketu, Doctors vs Nutritionists and how the 12th House and the 6th House might be affecting your choice of Astrologer or Counsellor. As well as how Astrologers get out of their depth with clients and the Ascendants who are attracted to / repelled from Counselling

When you are choosing and Astrologer, what are the minimum requirements you would like them to have demonstrated competence of? When you're learning Astrology, how do you know that you know what you know? As the famous quote goes "Tell me, and I will forget. Show me, and I may remember. Involve me, and I will understand." In this episode, I share all the ways I involve my Certification Pathway students in the knowledge, practice, skills and techniques of Vedic Astrology.

In this episode, Ryan Kurczak and I ask Ernst to dive deeper into some specific content of the course including: which nodal positions are easiest; how Human Design and Lajjitaadi Avasthas fit together; 7 generations of Ancestral Karma and how the 5 Avasthas interact with the 5 Elements!

I'm also including a trigger warning here for all of us who have experienced childhood trauma, Ernst pulls no punches in this episode as he explains his understanding of how a soul's karma gets imprinted onto its new 'meat suit' - so listener discretion is advised :)

This Valentine's week, join me for Part 1 of a discussion with Ernst Wilhelm about his latest course "Having more love in your life" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2c5ZTL4fYFg&list=PLe6bm3mXh02oXiLmdYVmTIXKgCJvDf7Ge)

Ryan Kurczak and I quiz Ernst about the origins of this course, what love truly is, Lajjitaadi Avasthas, selfishness and the role of Astrologers versus Counsellors. Find out if this course is for you and dive into some behind-the-scenes secrets and cutting-room-floor-edits involved in the making of this epic course. In Part 1, be a fly-on-the-wall as two great teachers and great friends talk Vedic Astrology and Love as if no one is watching :)
