Do you struggle to use anger effectively? Take heart, the ancient seers of Vedic times were with you! and in this episode, we’re going to look at how even Gods struggle with anger. We'll examine how Mars can be a source of empowerment and liberation for the marginalized, as well as a potential threat or obstacle. We’re going to learn how we can use Vedic Astrology Mythology to understand our own relationship with Mars and how we can harness its power for positive change. Join me and my fearless colleague Nisha Sankaran as we venture once again into the unchartered territory of Vedic Astrology Mythology.

What do Walt Whitman, Madonna, Andy Warhol, Carl Jung and George Lucas all have in common? Each of them have their First Lord in the First House! In this episode, I delve into the Bhava Yogas (from Chapter 24 of Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra) but with the twist "how are the Bhava Yogas affected by Sign placement?"

Along with the charts of Christian Dior, R. D. Laing, Jada Pinkett-Smith, Lord Byron, Bill Clinton, Edward Snowden and Rupert Murdoch, I will show you the 12 faces to the First Lord in the First House.

Whether you are new to Vedic Astrology or a seasoned practitioner, this episode has something for everyone.

In this episode, I’m going to take you on a fascinating journey through the birth chart of King Charles III, the newly crowned monarch of the United Kingdom. His chart is full of extraordinary yogas that make him a unique and unusual ruler. Some of the yogas I’m going to talk about are:

• Kubera Tulya Yoga, the rare and auspicious combination of planets that gives him wealth and prosperity comparable to Kubera, the god of treasure

• Adhi Yoga, the beneficial placement of planets in the 6th, 7th, and 8th houses from the Moon that grants him leadership, fame, and success over enemies

• Mukuta Yoga, the formation of planets in the 1st and 7th houses that gives him a literally a crown! and a lineage

• Srikanta Yoga, a spiritual yoga with detoxifying qualities

• Parajathi Yoga, of well placed dispositors in the rasi and navamsha charts that confers him with high status, honor, and respect

• Kapata Yoga, impacting the 4th lord and enabling someone to keep secrets

I’m also going to show you how these yogas have influenced his personal and professional life from Camilla-gate to compatability.

Can a 3000 year old myth have anything inclusive and validating to say to current times? This episode casts gentle dawn rays on to the lively mythology of Surya to discover if two female Vedic Astrology enthusiasts can find themselves and their experience in this ancient story. Along the way, we are transformed and humbled at the insights that were hidden beneath this rough exterior. The lessons of speaking one's truth and leaders compromising to include all people couldn't be more relevant today!

Is it possible to do too much Self Improvement work? Are we driven to improve from our ego's sense of fear and lack? What modality is most suited to us based on our Vedic Astrology Chart? What are some of the traps and pitfalls of Self Improvement? These are just a few of the questions that certified EFT Tapping Master Practitioner and host of the "Hush Your Mind" podcast, Annie Moussu and I discuss in our broad-ranging conversation. I hope you enjoy our journey examining how a variety of influences such as perfectionism, protestant work ethic, success-envy and even our own ancestry can take us away from the joy of the present moment and have us constantly in the rat-race of "not-good-enough".

In 42 short years, Elvis lived and produced more than many of us can in a whole life time. Where can Vedic Astrology shed light on this extraordinary life? In the episode, Craig Hoyle and I examine how the Vishnu Yoga, Vesi Yoga and Anapha Yoga contributed to Elvis' success and productivity. We also try to answer questions such as:

why did Elvis give so much of his wealth to others?

what made it hard for him to be present as a father?

why did he struggle with the balance between spirituality and indulgences?

why did he push his vitality so much with amphetamines? and

was he ever really able to control his fame?

We'll look at how the Lajjitaadi Avastha of Sun-Venus starvation (mutual) encouraged him to sacrifice what he wanted for his responsibilities. And explore the 12th House where his self confidence perhaps truly resided.
