Fall Equinox + Pitru Paksha: Equal Dark, Equal Light & Honoring Ancestors

This full moon in sidereal Pisces feels especially dreamy, spiritual, and a little hard to articulate. With Neptune conjunct the Moon - we may feel drawn toward imagination, intuition, and the possibilities we can sense but can’t quite explain. Saturn is involved as well - prompting us to consider what’s practical, steadfast, and what we’re ready to commit to... Though I would avoid long term decisions!Not mentioned in the podcast, in the GOBAL sense, there may also be more focus on oil, gas, and water!We also discuss Pitru Paksha and how it adds another layer of reflection to this already nebulous time.Jupiter forms a parivartana with the moon - making it a beautiful moment to seek mentorship or turn to people whose wisdom you trust. You don’t have to find every answer on your own.Characteristics of Your Spouse:https://youtu.be/i_cOvdSbjy0Soulmate Astrologyhttps://youtu.be/ExnDysvjzUwChristine:website: innerknowing.yogainstagram: astrologynow_podcastpatreon: patreon.com/astrologynowpodcast 

Hi everyone! In today’s episode, we explore the upcoming Fall Equinox and ways to honor ourselves and the Earth as we move into a new season. This transition invites us to reflect and reconnect with the rhythms of nature.We also discuss Pitru Paksha, a sacred period of time in Sanatana Dharma of honoring ancestors. Traditionally, this window is a time when the ancestral realm becomes more accessible - allowing ancestors to receive support through the prayers and offerings of their descendants.Equinox: September 22ndPitru Paksha: September 26th - October 10thCharacteristics of Your Spouse:https://youtu.be/i_cOvdSbjy0Soulmate Astrologyhttps://youtu.be/ExnDysvjzUwChristine:website: innerknowing.yogainstagram: astrologynow_podcastpatreon: patreon.com/astrologynowpodcast 

Mars will be debilitated in Cancer from September 18th - November 12th. This year, there is a cancellation of debilitation as Mars will be conjunct an exalted Jupiter.Postpartum, mental health, flock cameras and data centers - Jupiter in Cancer is already quite evident. How will Mars impact this already palpable transit?We discuss some observations of current affairs, a look at past transits, and discussion on what we may witness in the upcoming weeks. Horoscopes: Aries: 19:00 (also be mindful with vehicles)Taurus: 19:56Gemini: 21:19 (there can be opportunity where you nurture!)Cancer: 23:07Leo: 24:18 (there can be some intensity with fears or issues of the past - the 12th is losses so be aware of where you’re putting treasured belongings!)Virgo: 25:54Libra: 27:10Scorpio: 29:11Sagittarius: 31:13Capricorn: 33:16Aquarius: 34:33Pisces: 36:06Characteristics of Your Spouse:https://youtu.be/i_cOvdSbjy0Soulmate Astrologyhttps://youtu.be/ExnDysvjzUwChristine:website: innerknowing.yogainstagram: astrologynow_podcastpatreon: patreon.com/astrologynowpodcast 

September offers a little bit of balance with sweet, Venusian energy before rockiness begins towards the end of the month of September and into October. Venus shifted into Libra on September 2nd. Venus in Libra is well supported and promotes harmony, balance, beauty, and fairness within our relationships. The New Moon in Purva Phalguni amplified this Venusian quality and reminds us that creativity cannot always be forced.. sometimes we must slow down, soften, and become receptive before inspiration can find us.We also discuss the transition into Virgo season. Mercury will also become exceptionally strong in its sign of exaltation. This can sharpen the analytical mind and support communication, organization, discernment, and precision. At the same time, we may need to be mindful of perfectionism, overthinking, and becoming overly critical of ourselves or others.We also cover Uranus retrograde, the final Full moon of September, and other dates of interest.Characteristics of Your Spouse:https://youtu.be/i_cOvdSbjy0Soulmate Astrologyhttps://youtu.be/ExnDysvjzUwChristine:website: innerknowing.yogainstagram: astrologynow_podcastpatreon: patreon.com/astrologynowpodcast 

Today, we begin by catching up on major global events. Due to requests, we discuss the devastating disaster in Nepal and the passing of our beloved Dolly Parton. Both stories reflect themes that feel especially connected to Ketu. With Sun, Mercury, and Ketu in Magha (governed by Ketu), it truly demonstrates loss, separation, and impermanence. ***At 26:31 I mention that this period can be a time of loss due to Sun, Ketu, and Mercury being in a Ketu ruled nakshatra. I meant to say MAGHA instead of Mula (: From there, we take a deeper look at Ketu. Ketu is associated with detachment, moksha, liberation, intuition, spiritual insight, and past life karma. Its placement in the birth chart can reveal where we possess awareness and familiarity, but may also experience disconnection, discontentment, or a desire to transcend worldly matters.We also explore Ketu in transit. Ketu transits can often coincide with abrupt separations, accidents, confusion, and unsettling experiences.... but also deepen perception, nostalgia, and the return of people, memories, or unresolved matters from the past.Finally, we discuss Ketu in synastry, including my personal favorite Venus/Ketu connections. These relationships can feel immediately familiar, comforting, and profoundly karmic.

In this episode, we explore the upcoming lunar eclipse in Shatabhisha - the nakshatra associated with the hundred healers. With the Moon joining Rahu, this eclipse directs our attention toward the future. This can encourage progression, innovation, and deep change. Shatabhisha can illuminate themes of collective healing, social causes, and people coming together... This can be in our personal lives OR collectively. Similarly, friendships or group dynamics may be changing. Along the Aquarius/Leo axis, we may also witness a growing tension between the needs of the collective and the influence of leaders, dynasties, and established systems of power.The Sun’s conjunction with Ketu may bring up karmic themes related to leadership, visibility, and authority. On a personal level, this can reveal karmas connected to the father, our relationship with recognition, and the way accept our own power.Although Venus remains debilitated, Chitra offers tremendous creative potential. This can be utilized as a time to refine our vision and bring greater beauty and intention into what we are building... Particularly in regard to relationship! We also discuss Mars in Ardra. This is one of the many factors contributing to intense weather and storms.Characteristics of Your Spouse:https://youtu.be/i_cOvdSbjy0Soulmate Astrologyhttps://youtu.be/ExnDysvjzUwChristine:website: innerknowing.yogainstagram: astrologynow_podcastpatreon: patreon.com/astrologynowpodcast 

Today we pull from an extra special oracle deck gifted to by a long time friend and well wisher. The conclusion of the spread is leaning into groundedness, perseverance and vitality despite external turbulence or storms. We speak about how the eclipse can rock energy and strategies for staying steady and resilient. I wanted to note after recording, the person who gifted me this deck IS A ROHINI/TAURUS rising. Magic is real and I wanted to share it. Additionally, we do a brief cover of the Lindsey Clancy case followed by horoscopes for all 12 zodiac signs. Horoscopes: Aries: 24:30Taurus: 26:11Gemini: 27:51Cancer: 29:34Leo: 31:06 - I think I mentioned this - but there can be a lot of karmic themes involving RELATIONSHIPS. Virgo: 32:59Libra: 35:48Scorpio: 37:53Sagittarius: 39:18Capricorn: 41:51Aquarius: 43:43Pisces: 45:50Characteristics of Your Spouse:https://youtu.be/i_cOvdSbjy0Soulmate Astrologyhttps://youtu.be/ExnDysvjzUwChristine:website: innerknowing.yogainstagram: astrologynow_podcastpatreon: patreon.com/astrologynowpodcast 

Today we discuss the main astrological events taking place in August 2026 with an emphasis on the upcoming eclipse in Cancer. We spend time assessing Cancer and the nakshatra of Ashlesha - the nakshatra governed by the Nagas and its connection to intuition, perception, and the weaving together of the intellectual and intuitive mind. Ashlesha is extremely mystical, setting some of us up for a very enlightening month.With this eclipse occurring in Cancer, themes of vulnerability, emotional security, and belonging come to the surface. Cancer reminds us that vulnerability can either strengthen or disrupt our sense of safety, depending on how we respond to what we discover about ourselves or others.We also discuss Venus moving through its sign of debilitation, Mars in Gemini, and the growing emphasis on health and wellness throughout the month. Eclipse season often brings fated events, karmic reckonings, and unexpected changes... And also, blessings, awakenings, and inspiration!Characteristics of Your Spouse:https://youtu.be/i_cOvdSbjy0Soulmate Astrologyhttps://youtu.be/ExnDysvjzUwChristine:website: innerknowing.yogainstagram: astrologynow_podcastpatreon: patreon.com/astrologynowpodcast 

In this podcast, we talk about Guru Purnima and the relationship between the guru and the soul. Guru Purnima occurs every year... but THIS YEAR, Jupiter will be in the exact degree as the Sun. For some, there can be spiritual confusion. However, it can also be time of profound insight and awakening. This is a powerful time to honor our teachers, connect with the guru within, and reflect on the wisdom guiding our path.We also discuss Saturn retrograde and how this transit may take us on spiritual journeys, deepen our spiritual practice, and bring awareness to our commitments. Saturn may also bring karmic lessons to the surface... Not to punish us, but to help us gain the wisdom and maturity needed to move forward.Mars in Gemini creates intensity around travel, communication, media, and the United States. As we move toward eclipse season, things may feel increasingly unpredictable. Eclipse energy can rock the boat for world leaders while highlighting themes connected to the homeland, security, and national identity.Finally, we talk about Venus debilitated in Virgo while receiving the influence of both Saturn and Mars. This can create intensity around love, relationships, finances, creativity, and self-worth. Venus in Virgo may become perfectionistic, critical, or overly focused on what needs to be fixed. However, we can lean into the positive qualities of this transit by practicing discernment, tending carefully to what we love, and using our awareness to create meaningful healing.Characteristics of Your Spouse:https://youtu.be/i_cOvdSbjy0Soulmate Astrologyhttps://youtu.be/ExnDysvjzUwChristine:website: innerknowing.yogainstagram: astrologynow_podcastpatreon: patreon.com/astrologynowpodcast 

Hi everyone, Today we spend some time discussing the concepts of Puruṣa, Prakṛti, and Avidyā. These are three foundational teachings that help us better understand our true nature, the material world, and the causes of human suffering - according to Sanātana Dharma. As we deepen our awareness of these principles, we can cultivate a more conscious relationship with our thoughts, emotions, and experiences.For the philosophers: The concept of Avidyā is clearly described in the Yoga Sutras. Puruṣa and Prakṛti are articulated in Sāṃkhya philosophy (though have roots well beyond such as in the Rig Veda and Upanishads). To my knowledge.We also review some key upcoming transits: Final Vortex before Eclipse SeasonMercury Direct: July 23rdOuter planet line up: Now through July 29th Guru Purnima: July 29thChristine Characteristics of Your Spouse:https://youtu.be/i_cOvdSbjy0Soulmate Astrologyhttps://youtu.be/ExnDysvjzUwChristine:website: innerknowing.yogainstagram: astrologynow_podcastpatreon: patreon.com/astrologynowpodcast
