Love. Attraction. Compatibility. Remedy. 

​Although we spend a lot of time figuring out what career we are suited to, we spend very little, if any, thinking about what kind of partner we are, who we are suited to and who would suit our needs. We let our hearts guide us. While there is merit in that, sometimes, we can get it so wrong and create much heartache for everyone involved. 

In honour of Venus' transit in Taurus, and its retrograde transit from May 13 to Jun 25, Vedic astrologer I will hold an experiential and hands on (no, not that hands on!) workshop for attendees to discover what makes them tick in a relationship, as well as who ticks their boxes! 

This is for anyone who would love to learn more about their love life and compatibility. 
​
Topics covered include: ​

• The four cornerstones of each person's horoscope; Sun, Moon and star signs, as well as Venus, showing the types of people each person feels attracted to and compatible with.
• The 36-point system of Indian astrology, which compares both partner's Moon's, giving insights into physical and mental compatibility, sexual attraction and compatibility, comfort levels between the two, affection for each other, temperament, longevity and happiness levels in the relationship. 
• Blemishes and how to overcome them, including Mars' role in creating disharmony. 
• Finer details of compatibility within the Indian birth chart; the blessings brought forward from a previous life. 
• 'Karmic relationships' and hidden motives as seen by the eclipses, representing partners one feels drawn to subconsciously, despite any red flags. 
• The 3 stages of relationships and which one you experience predominantly. 
• Your highest potential for finding a loving, long-lasting mate, while improving a relationship you may be already be in, making sure you are both taking advantage of your compatibility, while addressing any areas of concern. 
• Timing. When are you will likely to meet someone?

Relationships are a dynamic experience, not a static, one-off event. They change with time. By understanding our needs and those of our partner with Indian astrology we learn how to approach and remedy relationships on an ongoing basis. 

Let the matchmaking begin!

February 2020

February brings with it many strengths, and some challenges. Saturn has now moved into its own sign Capricorn, returning home after 30 years away. The last time Saturn moved into Capricorn was in 1990, when we saw a new system put in place that has taken over our lives since. This was the beginning of the World Wide Web. 
​
What new systems will be put in place this time around?! Whatever you are personally prioritizing, you must acknowledge Pluto (your subconscious) snapping at your heels. It may be a good idea to discover what blocks are preventing you from seeing your goals to completion, but also your, as yet, untapped potential.  Pluto enters Capricorn on Feb 25.

​Mars enters Sagittarius on Feb 7 and joins Jupiter and the south node (and eclipse). This sets ablaze things that have been brewing for a while now, as well as triggering hidden things. Mars is 'out of bounds' from Feb 9 to Mar 2. This shows more volatility, offering the potential for some explosive events throughout the month, but especially from Feb 22 to Feb 25. While these are strong positions for the planets involved, strong doesn't always mean easy! Sometimes, we can overdo it and create more problems than we solve when Mars is involved. 

Thankfully, Venus moves through its exaltation sign Pisces from Feb 2 to 28, offering some peace and quiet, and a much nicer feel to the month, despite other intense transits. Valentine's Day is on Friday this year, too. Venus promotes harmony in an otherwise volatile period. Personally, this may play out as passions getting out of hand or passions quenching anger, depending. How you personally experience these transits will depend on whether you are more influenced by Venus or Mars. Do you desire peace or do you prefer to be right - no matter the cost?

Mercury stations retrograde from Feb 17, confusing matters as it transits backwards alongside the vague notions of Neptune. Finally, the Moon transits Scorpio from Feb 16, furthering the potential for explosive events throughout the latter part of the month. These transits can be a time to make some personal breakthroughs. ​

​2020 will likely be the year of reforms, with so many global-political-economic and environment changes taking place that were only hinted at in 2019. Although these changes reflect a year of uncertainty, there is at least a sense that things are happening. This is because of planets moving into sidereal Capricorn, a movable sign, including its ruling planet Saturn.

There are 7 eclipses if you count Dec 26, 2019 amongst them; more than other years, while all 3 solar eclipses occur close to the Solstices; in December 2019, June and December 2020. In the background, the Saturn-Pluto conjunction shows bigger changes in power structures and borders, just as we saw in 2019, while Jupiter’s long conjunction with Pluto throughout the year shows a re-drafting of laws and policies which will need to be put in place to keep some sense of order. Mars joins the planets in Sagittarius and Capricorn in the spring, reflecting more acute reactions and explosive events in February and March. And then soon after, from the end of March to the end of May, all the planets are on one side of the Moon’s nodes, making for an extremely potent but volatile period as they transit destructive lunar mansions (Ārdrā and Mūla).

This leads to more war-like situations in the spring. By September, the nodes move into Taurus and Scorpio, shifting the emphasis from a ‘crisis of meaning’ (Gemini-Sagittarius) to an existential crisis and fears around resources (Taurus-Scorpio). After the year in conjunction with Pluto, Jupiter’s conjunction with Saturn finishes the year on a sombre note, but we must keep the faith in something we cannot see, as well as something more than money, as we will likely see world economies on the brink of collapse by the end of the year and into 2021. Thankfully, Saturn’s strength promotes responsible reactions and a complete reboot this time around, unlike the last time Jupiter met with Pluto 12 years ago (2008). 

We will need a spiritual perspective, remaining centred in something that isn’t changing, as big changes within global-political-economic and environment structures continue to push boundaries, forcing some to retreat, furthering a nationalistic approach to the problem of immigration, as well as individuals considering their own boundaries, possibly retreating to deal with big issues in their own lives.

Others may feel forced to push back and rebel against more powerful entities, including governments and big businesses which attempt to take a firmer hold throughout 2020. All the planets are retrograde in 2020 and when this is added to all the conjunctions and eclipses, we can see this as change, followed by review, then more change and further review! Thankfully, all the visible planets are in great dignity during the year, helping us make the necessary adjustments.

2020 is all about getting real, doing what needs to be done, while finding out better ways to direct our attention in the world around us and in our imagination. As planets gather in Capricorn, they leave Sagittarius so we can get clear about which direction is right to take. Without clear advice and insight guiding us, we cannot venture forward and build anew. Sometimes, venturing forward requires we retrace our tracks, before we eventually see the route up ahead. 2020 is a year knuckle down and just get on with it – whatever ‘it’ is for you personally, but merely the beginning of a new decade of great change on our planet.

The time for philosophising is over and needs to be replaced with action. For all the fear that existed in 2019, it has shown up as mainly inaction and gloomy anticipation, which now leaves way for a matter-of-fact approach in 2020. The archer of Sagittarius has aimed his arrow. Let’s make sure we aim our arrow high, and that we are all clear about our ideals, as the hard work of seeing our vision become a reality requires all our strength and conviction.

​Dig deep and find you have the resources within to make the internal, and external, changes that are required.  ​

Mars' entry into the sign of faith suggests there is more threat of war in the coming weeks. Sagittarius is all about beliefs, a key trigger in warring factions, and is opposite Gemini, the sign of trade and travel. While both areas of life are impacted by the nodes, Mars joining forces with karmic forces shows bigger shake ups and disruptions.

Uranus, Neptune & Pluto: A Neo-Vedic Perspective

The outer planets, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto were not used in traditional Jyotish (‘Vedic’ or Indian astrology) because they were not officially discovered until relatively recently; their astrological significations often attributed to Rahu and Ketu, the north and south nodes of the Moon within a traditional Jyotish framework. However, just because they were not discovered with telescopes, does not mean ancient seers were unaware of their existence.
