Eclipse Season Update: Mars enters Aquarius and Mercury Goes Retrograde!

Hi everyone, today we discuss the major upcoming transits for the month of March. We continue our previous conversations with a recap of Rahu/Mars volatility, the dreaminess of an exalted Venus, and how the planets of Intellect AND Knowledge are both retrograde. With Jupiter's direct motion on March 10th, we will begin gaining some clarity and direction while a few of us will receive a unique and welcome gift from the Universe. We will experience even more relief come the end of March when Mercury also goes direct...

Hi everyone!In this segment, we explore the upcoming Lunar Eclipse in Leo in Pūrva Phalgunī — an asterism associated with love, romance, creativity, pleasure, and the sacred creative force that flows through us when we are still, present, and at rest.We discuss practical strategies to consciously connect with and utilize this energy:Prioritizing rest as a creative actSoftening into receptivity rather than controlHealing wounds or authority, visibility, and recognitionReclaiming sensuality as ours to experience Meanwhile, Venus shifts into its sign of exaltation in Pisces, heightening emotion and awakening a longing for “higher love.” Romance may feel fated, spiritual, transcendent. But with heightened sensitivity comes potential illusion.There may be:Idealization in loveRose-colored glassesConfusion or mixed signalsKarmic themes surfacing in intimacy and partnershipWith both Saturn and Neptune influencing the field, we explore the tension between devotion and delusion, fantasy and maturity. The invitation is not to reject romance — but to balance it. To enjoy beauty and mysticism while remaining grounded and discerning.With the Leo–Aquarius axis activated, this eclipse also speaks to:Inner authority vs. collective influenceAncestral patterns around visibility and leadershipInvesting in causes we genuinely care aboutImpact doesn’t have to be grandiose. It can look like:Small acts of generosityShowing up authenticallyChoosing integrity over applauseTune in to explore how this eclipse may manifest — and how to consciously work with its creative, romantic, and transformative potential.YOUTUBE:D9 exploration:https://youtu.be/HTgYcjltyasCharacteristics of Your Spouse:https://youtu.be/i_cOvdSbjy0Soulmate Astrologyhttps://youtu.be/ExnDysvjzUwChristine:website: innerknowing.yogainstagram: astrologynow_podcastpatreon: patreon.com/astrologynowpodcast keywords: astrology, jyotish, Vedic astrology, sidereal astrology, nakshatras,  spirituality, Christine Rodriguez, aries, libra, scorpio, libra, capricorn, Nakshatra, new moon, taurus, Venus, Jupiter, Pisces, Spirituality, horoscope, retrograde, eclipse, solar eclipse, new moon, lunar eclipse

Hi everyone! In today's segment, we review cosmic energy and how to best navigate the shift of Mars in Aquarius.

Today we discuss the upcoming solar eclipse on February 17th in the nakshatra of Dhanishta. We begin by doing a brief recap of some current affairs - we get into more personal astrology around the 9:45 mark with horoscopes coming at the end, per usual. This solar eclipse activates the Leo–Aquarius axis in a way that feels deeply personal and profoundly collective.Ketu in Leo indicates challenging celebrity worship, hierarchy, and the illusion of kingdoms and regimes. Who have we placed on pedestals? Where have we given our power away?Rahu in Aquarius brings a focus shift toward collective advancement - especially in health, innovation, and systems that serve humanity at large.We discuss:ReceptivityAbundanceWealth consciousnessMoney as energyShifting from being an audience to participant We break down horoscopes for all 12 signs while exploring the brilliance of Dhanishta - the nakshatra of radiance, rhythm, and remembering what makes us bright.YOUTUBE:D9 exploration:https://youtu.be/HTgYcjltyasCharacteristics of Your Spouse:https://youtu.be/i_cOvdSbjy0Soulmate Astrologyhttps://youtu.be/ExnDysvjzUwChristine:website: innerknowing.yogainstagram: astrologynow_podcastpatreon: patreon.com/astrologynowpodcast keywords: astrology, jyotish, Vedic astrology, sidereal astrology, nakshatras,  spirituality, Christine Rodriguez, aries, libra, scorpio, libra, capricorn, Nakshatra, new moon, taurus, Venus, Jupiter, Pisces, Spirituality, horoscope, retrograde, eclipse, solar eclipse, new moon, lunar eclipse

Hi everyone! Our segment is a little less conventional today. There has been so much information coming out that it is challenging to keep up with, analyze, and consider! The Epstein files were recently released (though many still are not and much of this information is heavily redacted) and it has catalyzed a shift in collective conscious. Who are our leaders really? Who are they affiliated with? What secrets are our favorite celebrities harboring? This is a topic that I care about deeply! I hope you find the connections to astrology interesting.FOUNDATION COURSEhttps://www.innerknowing.yoga/vedic-astrology-foundational-courseYOUTUBE:D9 exploration:https://youtu.be/HTgYcjltyasCharacteristics of Your Spouse:https://youtu.be/i_cOvdSbjy0Soulmate Astrologyhttps://youtu.be/ExnDysvjzUwChristine:website: innerknowing.yogainstagram: astrologynow_podcastpatreon: patreon.com/astrologynowpodcast keywords: astrology, jyotish, Vedic astrology, sidereal astrology, nakshatras,  spirituality, Christine Rodriguez, aries, libra, scorpio, libra, capricorn, Nakshatra, new moon, taurus, Venus, Jupiter, Pisces, Spirituality, horoscope, retrograde, eclipse, solar eclipse, new moon, lunar eclipse

In this episode, we dive into the upcoming eclipse season on the axis of Leo and Aquarius. This eclipse cycle amplifies power-to-the-people energy which can create a tension between individual sovereignty and the powers that be. There will be powerful movements but also continued clash between person and state.We explore the combustible conjunction of Mars and Rahu, a transit that brings intense heat, passion, and ambition, but also raises the potential for conflict, attacks, impulsive actions, and major blow-ups if energy isn’t consciously directed. Venus’s involvement with Rahu highlights karmic themes around love, desire, and attachments. Relational patterns may resurface demanding clarity or release.Later in the month, Mercury retrograde under these conditions is especially disruptive, increasing the likelihood of miscommunications, travel delays (at worst, major issues or accidents involving travel) tech issues, and messages going sideways. Stay abreast to cosmic matters by taking notes on your calendar throughout the segment.

On today's segment, we have a laid back conversation with Daniel about astrology, karma, and past life regression. When I met Daniel, we immediately clicked on metaphysics, time, alternate realities, death, and most importantly - child like humor. Periodically, we like to sit down and explore the cosmos in laid back and communal fashion. We hope you glean sparks of insight, inspiration, or feel a shift in perspective while listening to our banter.

Hi everyone!In this segment we discuss the upcoming new moon in Uttara Ashadha in Capricorn. We explore how becoming truly aligned with our values or morals can sometimes feel isolating. As we refine our convictions - certain relationships, identities, and paths may crumble as a natural consequence of our own commitment to our life. Uttara Ashadha teaches us that loneliness can be a rite of passage on the way to inner authority.YOUTUBE:D9 exploration:https://youtu.be/HTgYcjltyasCharacteristics of Your Spouse:https://youtu.be/i_cOvdSbjy0Soulmate Astrologyhttps://youtu.be/ExnDysvjzUwChristine:website: innerknowing.yogainstagram: astrologynow_podcastpatreon: patreon.com/astrologynowpodcast keywords: astrology, jyotish, Vedic astrology, sidereal astrology, nakshatras,  spirituality, Christine Rodriguez, aries, libra, scorpio, libra, capricorn, Nakshatra, new moon, taurus, Venus, Jupiter, Pisces, Spirituality, horoscope, retrograde, eclipse, solar eclipse, new moon, lunar eclipse

In this episode, we explore the "boss energy" of Capricorn season. With four planets shifting from Sagittarius into Capricorn, we are prompted to explore where discipline replaces impulse, commitment gives more reward than convenience, and long-term goals are more prevalent than fleeting satisfaction.We talk about how the Sun in Capricorn highlights responsibility, leadership, and taking the reins of life. Mercury in Capricorn supports strategic spending, planning, and pragmatic conversations. Venus in Capricorn slows love down - prioritizing loyalty, maturity, and relationships that are built to last rather than quick sparks. Mars in Capricorn rewards taking initiative, hard work, following passion, and allowing confidence to overshadow fear of the unknown. Economic themes of Capricorn include: money systems, taxes, government structures, corporate power, and the real-world consequences of long-term policy and financial decisions. This is a transit that confronts the collective to be honest about resources, accountability, and where we’re investing our time, energy, and money.YOUTUBE:D9 exploration:https://youtu.be/HTgYcjltyasCharacteristics of Your Spouse:https://youtu.be/i_cOvdSbjy0Soulmate Astrologyhttps://youtu.be/ExnDysvjzUwChristine:website: innerknowing.yogainstagram: astrologynow_podcastpatreon: patreon.com/astrologynowpodcast keywords: astrology, jyotish, Vedic astrology, sidereal astrology, nakshatras,  spirituality, Christine Rodriguez, aries, libra, scorpio, libra, capricorn, Nakshatra, new moon, taurus, Venus, Jupiter, Pisces, Spirituality, horoscope, retrograde, eclipse, solar eclipse, new moon, lunar eclipse

Hi everyone! FIRST - skip to 19:22 if you want to skip review. Second, this is an *over view*. It is impossible to cover each month in total nuance without creating a 10 hour long podcast. But I wanted to share the main takeaways of the year to come. Most importantly: I wanted to give you dates that I am personally using on a daily basis to plan my year... so I hope this helps!
