The Spiritual Bodybuilder: Nahum Vizakis on Astrology, PTSD, Plant Medicine and Healing the Masculine

What happens when a top-level bodybuilder, war veteran, and peak performer has a full spiritual awakening? Nahum Vizakis has lived both extremes — the hyper-masculine world of bodybuilding and the deep surrender of plant medicine, astrology, and emotional healing.In this episode, Nahum shares his raw journey from winning shows in Iraq and Arizona to losing his identity, facing PTSD, and finding love through awakening experiences with ayahuasca, combo, and iboga. He opens up about how trauma, ego, and performance-enhancing drugs disconnected him from his body — and how practices like massage therapy, nervous system regulation, and ancient plant medicines brought him back into alignment.We talk about:• The collapse of hustle culture and the rise of emotional awareness in men• How plant medicine accelerates karma and reveals our mother/father wounds• The hidden connection between the sympathetic nervous system and illusion• What it really means to “do the inner work” and balance masculine and feminine energy• The coming shift toward healing through frequency, vibration, and consciousnessNahum also shares powerful tools for nervous system regulation, including breathwork, grounding, Hoppe, and high-dose melatonin therapy — plus insights on how modern biohacking and ancient wisdom meet. His story is a reminder that the path to power begins with surrender, honesty, and feeling safe enough to be vulnerable.If you’ve ever felt trapped in the “go, go, go” mode or struggled to turn off the noise of the world, this conversation will help you reconnect to your natural rhythm and your true self.Find Nahum at spiritualbodybuilder.comFree workshop: Relationship Astrology at https://www.quietmindastrology.com/relationshipsFree Vedic Birth Chart & Training: http://www.quietmindastrology.com/freebirthchartInstagram: http://www.instagram.com/quietmindastrologyYouTube: http://www.quietmindastrology.com/youtubeMentorship Waitlist: http://www.quietmindastrology.com/mentorshipYoga Teacher Training Podcast: https://www.anchor.fm/yogateachertrainingQuietmind Yoga: https://www.quietmind.yogaKeywords: Nahum Vizakis, spiritual bodybuilding, plant medicine, ayahuasca, kambo, iboga, PTSD, nervous system, masculinity, Vedic astrology, trauma healing, biohacking, breathwork, grounding

Free live workshop: Relationship Astrology - https://www.quietmindastrology.com/relationshipsWelcome to the Quietmind Astrology weekly horoscope for October 19–26, 2025.We’re entering a brand-new phase of the year as Jupiter moves into Cancer, bringing a wave of optimism, faith, and renewal that will unfold all the way through mid-2027. This is the exaltation of Jupiter—an energy of light returning after the mental busyness and overstimulation of Jupiter in Gemini.This week also brings a New Moon in Chitra Nakshatra (Libra) on Tuesday, October 21st, marking the perfect time to begin new chapters in your relationships, goals, and personal balance. Chitra is the architect, the builder—so this lunation invites you to design your next chapter consciously. What kind of love, collaboration, and harmony do you want to create?You’ll also feel Mercury entering Scorpio on Friday, October 24th, deepening communication, self-inquiry, and emotional intelligence. Conversations go beneath the surface. It’s an ideal time for therapy, astrology study, or journaling—anything that helps you understand yourself and others at a soul level.This episode explores how to work with all three of these energies: Jupiter’s long-term expansion, the Libra New Moon’s creative rebalance, and Mercury’s dive into emotional truth. I’ll share how these transits activate the relationship axis of Libra and Aries, the depth-seeking nature of Scorpio, and how the coming weeks can help you heal old relationship samskaras—those karmic patterns that repeat until they’re made conscious.If you’re ready to bring awareness and intention into your love life, friendships, and inner balance, join my free Relationship Astrology Workshop on October 20th at quietmindastrology.com/relationships. You’ll learn how to read synastry charts, understand compatibility, and work with the current Jupiter-in-Cancer and Sun-in-Libra energies for lasting growth in love.5 Key Ideas from the Episode• “We just had Jupiter move into Cancer—the most optimistic, nourishing transit of the year.”• “The New Moon in Chitra is your chance to architect a new chapter in your relationships.”• “Our samskaras—the creases of our life patterns—repeat until we make them conscious.”• “Mercury entering Scorpio helps us get to the heart of what’s really going on beneath the surface.”• “Relationships aren’t meant to be symmetrical—they’re meant to be balanced in a way that works for both people.”Links & ResourcesFree Vedic Birth Chart & Training: quietmindastrology.com/freebirthchartInstagram: instagram.com/quietmindastrologyYouTube: quietmindastrology.com/youtubeMentorship Waitlist: quietmindastrology.com/mentorshipQuietmind Yoga: quietmind.yogaYoga Teacher Training Podcast: anchor.fm/yogateachertrainingKeywords:Vedic astrology, weekly horoscope, Libra New Moon 2025, Mercury in Scorpio 2025, Jupiter in Cancer 2025, Chitra Nakshatra, relationship astrology, samskaras, Libra season, Quietmind Astrology, Jeremy Devens

Download your free guide for 2025-2027 at ⁠https://www.quietmindastrology.com/jupiterincancer2025⁠We made it through most of 2025! SO many big changes, and there’s one more left. This is the best one: Jupiter being exalted in Cancer. I made a free guide for this because it’s such a big one. This shift brings a general lift for everyone: hopefulness, optimism, growth, and expansion. Today I cover the big-picture timing for all of us. Next episode I’ll do sign-by-sign for your Rising and Moon.If you’re hearing “Jupiter is already in Cancer,” that’s tropical. I read sidereal (true to astronomy). Look in Stellarium or any stargazing app and you’ll see it: Jupiter touches Cancer at the end of 2025 (a glimmer), dips back to Gemini Dec 5 to Mar 10, then fully enters Cancer on June 1, 2026, runs to Leo late ’26, and returns to Cancer in 2027. The strongest nurturing window is Pushya — June 26 to Aug 26, 2026 — just 61 days. Most of this transit is in the deep, transformational Aslesha, which we'll discuss more next year when we're closer to that. Right now we’re in Punarvasu: the return of optimism and future vision. Use these few weeks (mid-Oct to mid-Nov) to clarify what you want to build. When planets retrograde, the RE words matter: review, revise, revisit. From Dec 5 to Mar 10, go back over your lessons, teachers, communities, and consolidate wisdom.Jupiter expands; Cancer nurtures. Great time to ground, tend home and family, strengthen boundaries (Saturn in Pisces is answered by Jupiter), and deepen spiritual practice. I’ll also be hosting a live Relationship Astrology workshop at quietmindastrology.com/relationships — synastry, Atma/Dara Karaka, overlays — practical and interactive.5 key ideas - “Jupiter being exalted in Cancer… is going to affect all of us generally more positively: a sense of hopefulness, optimism, growth, and expansion.”- “Jupiter… is just moving to the edge of Cancer at the end of 2025… but it’s going back to Gemini… then on June 1st, Jupiter fully goes into Cancer.”- “The most nurturing part… is Pushya… June 26 until August 26 — 61 days.”- “Whenever a planet retrogrades, the RE words are relevant: reviewing, revising, revisiting.”- “With expansion, grounding is very important… feet on the ground… yin, kapha practices, caring for home and family.”Keywords: Jupiter in Cancer exalted, sidereal Vedic astrology, Punarvasu, Pushya, Jupiter retrograde dates, Jupiter in Gemini review, Saturn in Pisces aspect, family home nurturing, grounding practices, relationship astrology workshopFree Weekly Horoscopes & Exclusive offers: https://www.quietmindastrology.com/freehoroscopesFree Vedic Birth Chart & Training:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://www.quietmindastrology.com/freebirthchartInstagram:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://www.instagram.com/quietmindastrologyDecode Your Birth Chart: https://www.quietmindastrology.com/1011:1 Reading: https://www.quietmindastrology.com/readingMentorship: https://www.quietmindastrology.com/mentorshipQuietmind Yoga: https://www.quietmind.yoga

RSVP for free to the Relationship Astrology workshop at https://www.quietmindastrology.com/relationshipsThis is the weekly forecast for Sunday, October 12th through Saturday, October 18th, and it’s the last week of having Jupiter in Gemini, closing out major lessons that began around June. We’re not done with those themes entirely, but there’s a shift coming up this Saturday that brings a new sense of growth, abundance, and clarity in relationships and decision-making.We’re in a year of big transitions with Saturn in Pisces, Rahu in Aquarius, and Ketu in Leo—moving beyond our old limits and transforming our relationship to power, leadership, and control. This week’s major transits add to that momentum.On Tuesday, October 14th, Pluto in Capricorn goes direct. This ends a long retrograde phase that stirred the subconscious and brought up deep, hidden material for healing. Pluto direct helps us integrate what surfaced—unresolved wounds, samskaras, or old conditioning—and move forward with a renewed foundation. Globally, Pluto continues to reshape structures of power and authority, while personally it invites therapy, meditation, yoga, and inner work to create lasting transformation.On Friday, October 17th, the Sun moves into Libra. The Sun is considered debilitated here, meaning our drive to lead and control must yield to diplomacy, compassion, and fairness. This is a month to collaborate, not dominate—to focus on teamwork, compromise, and shared decision-making. With Mercury and Mars nearby, some conversations may feel charged or confrontational. Slow down, stay grounded, and weigh your words carefully. Be mindful of your nervous system responses and approach challenges with calm awareness. This energy supports delegation, collaboration, and finding balance in work and relationships.Then on Saturday, October 18th, Jupiter moves into Cancer—a brief preview of what’s to come in mid-2026. This is one of the most auspicious placements for Jupiter, bringing expansion in finances, love, and emotional connection. It’s a shift from the scattered mental energy of Gemini into the heart-centered stability of Cancer. This is the time to ground, slow down, and reconnect to what nourishes you. Cook warm meals, create supportive routines, limit screen time, and focus on simple, grounding practices.Jupiter in Cancer brings more ease, support, and optimism, but be mindful not to slip into complacency or heaviness. If you start to feel dull or unmotivated, reintroduce movement, warmth, and fire—spicy foods, energizing yoga, or inspiring projects.As we close this chapter of Jupiter in Gemini, reflect on what you’ve learned since June. You may have felt torn between wisdom and intellect, intuition and logic, or calling and practicality. Gemini energy can bring incredible creativity and insight, but also indecision and overwhelm. Jupiter in Cancer helps bring those ideas into form with warmth and emotional clarity.This week is a time to complete cycles, integrate lessons, and create stability where there’s been uncertainty. Use the energy of Pluto direct to heal what’s been hidden, the Sun in Libra to strengthen your relationships through fairness and empathy, and Jupiter in Cancer to ground in love and connection.Free Vedic Birth Chart & Training:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://www.quietmindastrology.com/freebirthchartInstagram:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://www.instagram.com/quietmindastrology⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://www.quietmindastrology.com/youtubeMentorship Waitlist:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://www.quietmindastrology.com/mentorshipQuietmind Yoga: https://www.quietmind.yogaKeywords: nakshatras, grahas, rashi, bhavas, jyotish, yoga, doshas, kundali, transits, retrograde, aspects, dasha system, remedies, mantras, shani, chandra, mangala, Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo

Learn practices to harness the energy of each day in the Deepen Your Practice workshop at https://www.quietmind.yoga/deepenEach day of the week carries its own frequency, a specific planetary energy that’s been woven into our language and daily lives for thousands of years, yet most people never realize it.In this episode of the Quietmind Astrology Podcast, I’ll show you how to harness the grahas (planets) through the simple rhythm of the week; from the Sun’s vitality on Sunday to Saturn’s discipline on Saturday, and how these ancient cycles can guide your routines, mindset, and spiritual practice.The names of the days themselves reveal the secret: Sunday for the SunMonday for the Moon (Lunas in Spanish)Tuesday for Mars (Martes)Wednesday for MercuryThursday for Jupiter (Jueves)Friday for Venus (Viernes)Saturday for Saturn (Sábado). These aren’t coincidences, they’re remnants of a system that once consciously aligned human life with cosmic time.When you understand this cycle, you can begin to plan your week with intention. Need to strengthen discipline and structure? Work with Saturn on Saturdays: wear dark blue or black, volunteer, fast, or spend time with elders. Feeling the need to reconnect with your spiritual path? Sunday, ruled by the Sun, is your day to center, honor your vitality, and reconnect with your higher purpose.Each graha has a natural day, color, and practice that helps bring its energy into balance:- Sunday (Sun / Surya): vitality, confidence, self-realization, leadership. Practice sun salutations, gratitude, and spiritual reflection. Wear orange or gold.- Monday (Moon / Chandra): emotions, nurturing, peace. Practice restorative yoga, gentle movement, and care for your home. Wear white or silver.- Tuesday (Mars / Mangala): strength, courage, action. Engage in exercise, assertive communication, or productive work. Wear red.- Wednesday (Mercury / Budha): communication, learning, adaptability. Great for writing, meetings, and kirtan. Wear green.- Thursday (Jupiter / Guru): wisdom, faith, purpose. Study, journal, or learn from a teacher. Wear yellow.- Friday (Venus / Shukra): love, beauty, relationships. Enjoy music, art, romance, and the senses. Wear pink or variegated colors.- Saturday (Saturn / Shani): discipline, service, patience. Do chores, volunteer, fast, or spend time with elders. Wear blue or black.You’ll also learn how the hour of the day, called the hora, repeats this planetary pattern every 24 hours, meaning every hour holds a different energetic quality. And you’ll discover how your own birth day of the week reflects your inherent tendencies. For example, being born on a Tuesday connects you to the Mars archetype: initiative, courage, and movement.These aren’t just symbolic ideas, they’re time-tested rituals that help bring rhythm, meaning, and flow into your life. When you start to live in tune with these cycles, everything begins to feel more natural: your work, rest, relationships, and self-care all align with the energy of the moment.Want to go deeper into daily practices and yoga sequences for each planetary energy? Check out my Deepen Your Practice Workshop at quietmind.yoga/deepen.5 Key Ideas from the Episode:1. Each day of the week corresponds to one of the seven visible grahas — Sun through Saturn.2. The planetary order of the days is based on the ancient hora system, not random naming.3. Your birth day of the week reveals part of your natural tendencies and dharma expression.4. Colors, rituals, and actions can align you with the day’s planetary frequency.5. Living in rhythm with planetary time creates harmony, discipline, and inner peace.Free Vedic Birth Chart & Training:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://www.quietmindastrology.com/freebirthchartInstagram:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://www.instagram.com/quietmindastrology1:1 Reading: https://www.quietmindastrology.com/readingYoutube: https://www.quietmindastrology.com/youtube

Free Relationship Astrology Workshop: https://www.quietmindastrology.com/relationshipsFree Deepen Your Practice Workshop: https://www.quietmind.yoga/deepenKey ideas- Jupiter moving into Cancer is one of the most auspicious, positive transits we can ever have.- The Full Moon in Revati closes the eclipse window — a sense of culmination and completion.- Sun in Libra and Venus in Virgo bring relationship tests; lead through collaboration, not control.- If something’s stuck, Mars into Scorpio will move the energy at the end of OctoberNotesOctober 2025 has the last big transit of the year. We have Jupiter moving into Cancer this month — one of the most auspicious, positive transits we can ever have — and it only happens once every 12 years. It’s starting in October, it’s brief at first, and it sets the stage for 2026 into 2027. This energy is very positive for relationships and growth on a lot of levels, and we’ll talk about how to work with it in a real, practical way.We open October with Mercury moving into Libra on Thursday, October 2. In late September, Mercury was exalted in Virgo — great for getting things said and resolved. Now Mercury in Libra with Mars brings direct, creative communication, action, and emotional intimacy. If there’s a conversation that moves a relationship forward or a creative project that needs a decision, this is the window to speak and act.On Monday, October 6, the Full Moon in Revati closes the eclipse window. Think back to March — what was opening then? All full moons are a good day to celebrate and integrate, and Revati brings wisdom, intuition and completion. The Moon conjoins Saturn that day, so it’s an excellent time to practice, be disciplined, and do the things that actually move energy — which is why I’m holding the yoga workshop then.Thursday, October 9, Venus enters Virgo (debilitation). You’ll see the internet focus on the negatives — nitpicking, overanalyzing love — but every placement has positive, negative, and neutral expressions. “Bring the Virgo healer’s precision to find root causes,” then speak from the heart. This can be a sober, clarifying month for finances, division of responsibilities, and long-term plans.Friday, October 10, the Moon is exalted in Taurus — a sweet day for dates, romance, beauty, and nourishing the senses. Tuesday, October 14, Pluto goes direct in Capricorn (Uttara Ashada). We’ve been revisiting foundations; now we build forward — values, structure, and what you’re willing to stand for. On Friday, October 17, the Sun moves into Libra (debilitation): leadership through collaboration, compromise over control. If your ego wants to be right, notice it and choose balance.Saturday, October 18, Jupiter enters Cancer (exaltation). It’s a short initial pass, but it brings the home, relationships, care, and spiritual mentorship with growth. Watch for over-comforting or naiveté with teachers, but overall this is balm after the harder edges of the month. Monday, October 20 is our free Relationship Astrology workshop — synastry, what to look for in a partner, and how to see strengths and growth edges in charts.Tuesday, October 21, New Moon in Chitra (Virgo): new systems, new routines, new healing. It’s a great day to reset health, organize money with spreadsheets or an accountant, and set clear intentions for love and daily rhythms. Then Friday, October 24, Mercury moves into Scorpio for deeper conversations, research, therapy, and personal growth. End of month, Mars moves into Scorpio: bias toward action. If something’s stuck, move your body, sweat, and give that Mars-in-Scorpio activation energy a target.Free Vedic Birth Chart & Training:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://www.quietmindastrology.com/freebirthchartInstagram:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://www.instagram.com/quietmindastrologyYoutube:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://www.youtube.com/@quietmindastrology1:1 Reading: https://www.quietmindastrology.com/reading

Get the free Eclipse Season guide at https://www.quietmindastrology.com/eclipseseptember2025We are in the last portion of the eclipse season for 2025, and it has been very powerful for me. I’m going to share a bit about my personal experience with it — things you might relate to and reflect on — and something very personal I haven’t talked about in this way before. I’ve never met my biological father. During this eclipse portal I’ve made the most progress I’ve ever had. I’ve tried a lot of things over the years — even had someone from the FBI helping me — and now a real lead opened up through Ancestry DNA: a 27% match on my paternal side. That’s closer than my half-sister’s 23%. It could be a grandfather, uncle or half-brother. If the surname Triba (T-R-Y-B-A) rings a bell for you, that’s the name surfacing.I talk about what this stirs in the chart and in daily life. If you look at my chart, there are clear indicators around the father: Sun in the 8th house (“the Sun is the father; 8th is sudden change and transformation”), Rahu with the Sun in Aries (“part of my life path is to find myself and move away from the family of Ketu in Libra in the 2nd house”), and the Sun ruling the 12th placed in the 8th (“losses + transformation tied to father”). I also share how Moon in Ardra and the Moon being alone can mark early challenges. This is not theory for me — it’s the lived path of learning the father archetype from within when it wasn’t modeled without.Eclipse seasons are portals. With Ketu in Leo, themes of lineage, authority, leadership and family patterns get activated. Ketu takes away what’s outgrown and brings us back to what’s essential. For me it took away power for a bit through sickness, but that redirected me into the body, breath, sunlight, simple practice. “When you have good health, you have a million problems; when you have bad health, you have one.” Coming back to yoga, pranayama and 10-minute wins rebuilt momentum and clarity.We’re now in the waxing Moon window — an auspicious two weeks of new beginnings — and the second half of this eclipse story will play out over the next six months. I walk you through how to use that: note what the eclipse highlighted, put dates in your calendar, and take small consistent actions that align with the new chapter. The masculine you can trust is built in daily structure: sleep, sun, water, food, breath, practice. Atomic Habits style: “the goal is to be a meditator,” even if it’s one conscious breath. Roll out the mat for 10 minutes; you’ll often go longer.I also share why having mentors, a team and community matters. If you’re filling other people’s cups, you need people filling yours — massage, teachers, trainings, men’s group, honest friends. Eclipse season asks us to examine roles, identity, and authority. What roles are ending? What leadership do you actually want now? What patterns in the family line do you choose not to repeat?If you haven’t already, grab the free Eclipse Season Guide at quietmindastrology.com. It covers themes, challenges, and opportunities for each rising and Moon sign so you can actually work with the timing, not just hear about it. We’ll keep tracking the new chapter through the waxing Moon and into the months ahead.Keywords: nakshatras, grahas (planets), rashi (zodiac signs), bhavas (houses), jyotish (astrology), yogaFree Weekly Horoscopes & Exclusive offers: https://www.quietmindastrology.com/freehoroscopesFree Vedic Birth Chart & Training:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://www.quietmindastrology.com/freebirthchartInstagram:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://www.instagram.com/quietmindastrologyDecode Your Birth Chart: https://www.quietmindastrology.com/1011:1 Reading: https://www.quietmindastrology.com/readingMentorship: https://www.quietmindastrology.com/mentorshipQuietmind Yoga: https://www.quietmind.yoga

Get the full Eclipse Season Guide: ⁠QuietmindAstrology.com/eclipseseptember2025⁠Every eclipse season in Vedic astrology brings a choice point, and September 2025 is no exception. These two eclipses are not random events—they’re moments of karmic realignment, where life asks you to make a decision about what stays and what goes. This month, both the Lunar Eclipse in Purva Bhadrapada (Aquarius) on September 7th and the Solar Eclipse in Uttara Phalguni (Leo) on September 21st invite you to step into a more authentic direction and release what no longer fits.On September 7th, the Lunar Eclipse in Purva Bhadrapada brings a crossroads: do you stay attached to old social roles and group expectations, or do you choose to live into a vision that feels more authentic to you? Purva Bhadrapada is visionary, intense, and disciplined, but with the Moon eclipsed here, emotions can swing between attachment and detachment. The choice is whether you rebel without direction, or align with a higher vision that truly serves your path and your community.The auspicious side of this eclipse includes visionary insights, spiritual discipline, karmic release, and clarity through detachment. The shadow side is emotional rigidity, restless rebellion, and feeling cut off from belonging. The invitation is to stop compromising yourself just to fit in, and instead honor your individuality while still contributing meaningfully. Aquarius is about the collective, but only when individuals are being true to themselves.On September 21st, the Solar Eclipse in Uttara Phalguni (Leo) turns the spotlight to your heart. This is the choice between surface-level satisfaction and deep joy. Are you shining from the heart, or performing for approval? This eclipse asks you to release relationships, projects, or appearances that drain you and step into authentic love, creativity, and leadership. The auspicious themes are fresh beginnings in joy and creativity, authentic leadership, and prosperity through aligned choices. The inauspicious themes are drama, ego battles, and clinging to appearances.For everyone, the work of this eclipse season is journaling on where you compromise yourself to belong, where you isolate out of fear, and what it costs to keep choosing approval over authenticity. These are turning points, not just endings—the doors that close now clear space for new beginnings in the months to come.The eclipses always bring intensity, but also clarity when we slow down enough to listen. Avoid impulsive decisions, give yourself space for silence, and use these moments to align with what is real and true in your life.
