Exciting Transits Ahead for 2026 ❤️: Saraswati Yoga

Hi everyone! I have been so busy with the holiday season, planning a new business, and keeping up with current work! I've been having so much fun... and thank you for understanding the late podcast! I thought that sharing some of the MOST EXCITING and supportive transits for 2026 would be a short and sweet way to encourage the biggest New Year's resolutions. Please remember this isn't comprehensive, as I believe we have even more to look forward to. Today we discuss two periods that have a Saraswati Yoga. This is when Jupiter, Venus, and Mercury all transit the same sign. Saraswati is the goddess of knowledge, education, music, art, and refinement. Though, because she is a goddess, she also represents wealth and beauty! She is usually depicted riding a swan and holding a veena. This is one of the most auspicious and beautiful yogas, in my opinion!This period of time is BEAUTIFUL for new ventures, launching programs, publishing a good, or announcing good news. Listen to this podcast for more 2026 tid bits... More to come!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 this episode, we review the New Moon in Mula nakshatra—a lunar mansion known for its ability to expose roots, cut away what no longer serves, and its investment to the source of Truth. From there, we move into a conversation about the dashas—the planetary periods that shape the unfolding timeline of your life. We walk through:how dashas reveal your unique life seasonshow to understand what your current dasha is asking from youhow to work with (not against) your planetary periodhow to maximize the gifts, opportunities, and lessons available to you right nowYOUTUBE: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

The final New Moon of 2025 will take place in Mula Nakshatra, a Ketu-ruled lunar mansion of destruction, truth, and radical liberation. In this episode, we explore how this Sagittarius New Moon invites us to confront fear at the root, release outdated beliefs, and confront truths within ourselves... even if it means shaking up our reality. A powerful moon for courage, honesty, and setting intentions that carry us into the freedom and momentum of 2026.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 powerful transition of Mars, the Sun, and Venus moving through the Gandanta zone— the karmic knot between water and fire, where karmic matters get pulled apart to offer moments of transformation. As these planets leave the emotional depths of Scorpio and enter the fiery, expansive realm of Sagittarius, we collectively move through an opportunity to face change and witness what is True. Sagittarius is the sign of optimism, expansion, and Truth - but what do we need to face in order to stand in that light?As Mars, the Sun, and Venus pass through the final degrees of Scorpio, we feel intensity around transformation, power dynamics, secrets, and deep emotion. Gandanta exposes what’s been buried and forces us into honesty, closure, and karmic completion. Masks slip, characters are revealed, and we have more a moment to witness reality as it is. Sag brings fire, movement, perspective, and the desire to rise above what was weighing us down. It highlights belief systems, spirituality, worldview, teachers, dogma, and righteousness — but it also invites us to embody the higher frequency of Sagittarius: adventure, inspiration, humor, exploration, and the joy of discovering new horizons.This episode breaks down:What Gandanta actually means and why these degrees feel so destabilizingHow Mars, Sun, and Venus each behave in this karmic knotHow to navigate the rise of dogmatic thinking and stay open-minded and curiousThe opportunity to hold power with graceYOUTUBE: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

***Please note that I FORGOT to mention Neptune direct in Pisces! On December 10th, Neptune will direct at 5 degrees of Pisces. This will impact oil, gas, water, or illness. There may be ILLUSIONS coming to light or mysteries being uncovered. In this episode, we revisit this Scorpio stellium, a combination of planets amplifying themes of transformation, secrecy, taboo, and the exposure of hidden characteristics. This is the season (in addition to Neptune direct...) where truth may come to light, leaders are unmasked, and we’re invited into deeper self-honesty and alchemy.We cover the Full Moon exalted in Taurus, illuminating the balance between grounded security and the discomfort of change. This full moon asks us to reflect on what we cling to for safety and what needs to be released so that we can grow. We then shift into Sagittarius season - radical beliefs, righteousness, and religious or philosophical dogma become prominent. Sagittarius also offers a higher expression — an opportunity to reconnect with adventure, spontaneity, open-minded curiosity, humor, and sharing ideas.

In this episode, we explore a turning point of fresh air as Saturn and Mercury both direct, liberating us from weeks of fog, delays, heaviness, and confusion. We discuss what it means when the lord of restriction (Saturn) finally moves forward in the whimsical sign of Pisces and how this shift brings a sense of direction, momentum, and invitations to move forward.We also explore Mercury direct in Libra, where communication, decision-making, and relational dynamics begin to harmonize again. This is the moment where we are given an opportunity to find balance in relationship, communicate fairly, and find resolution. It is also an opportunity for collective where information may be shared that is significant when it comes to law and order. Venus in Scorpio calls us into the depths of intimacy, desire, and personal transformation. We discuss how this placement intensifies connection, exposes relational truths, and invites a vulnerability in how we perceive ourselves and others.

Hi everyone! In this episode, we explore the New Moon in Anuradha, an asterism of devotion, discipline, and unwavering loyalty to what truly matters. Anuradha reminds us that our routines create our life: the things we choose to tend to every single day reveal our real priorities more honestly than anything we claim. No one has to remind us to take care of what our hearts are genuinely devoted to.We dive into how this moon encourages a recommitment to our path, our practices, and the rituals that build a meaningful life. I share how devotion is really about the small, consistent actions that shape our inner and outer worlds.On a collective level, we discuss Pluto in Capricorn and its ongoing restructuring of government, authority, and the bones of society... a slow revolution. Uranus in Taurus continues to rattle the foundations of land, food systems, and the ways we sustain ourselves - urging innovation, resilience, and a return to what is natural and essential.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

Jupiter and Mercury are both planets of intelligence, wisdom, and discernment — the teacher, the student, and distillers of knowledge. As they move through the water signs - they contrast intellect with intuition, inviting us to explore how we gather, process, and share information OR allow ourselves to be moved by information (whether it be true or false!). This season challenges us to balance logic and feeling, clarity and empathy, so we don’t become swept away by the emotional undercurrents of Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces.Mercury retrogrades through Scorpio, excavating stories and secrets. Its movement may reveal patterns of control, manipulation, or hidden information that distorts communication or cloud perception. Through this process, we are offered the gift of seeing truth beneath illusion and make judgements based on clear perception.Jupiter retrogrades in Cancer, calling us towards the inner compass of intuition and the heart. This transit may slow outward success, but deepened sensitivity, self-trust, and reconnection to what feels safe, nurturing, and authentic.

In this episode of AstrologyNow, we explore the deep emotional tides stirred by three planets retrograde in water signs— Jupiter in Cancer, Saturn in Pisces, and Mercury in Scorpio. We explore how their backward motion invites reflection and emotional maturity. We discuss how presence and compassion are often more healing than trying to fix or change the emotional experience for ourselves or those around us. We explore the new and full moon in Mars ruled signs with a full moon in Aries and new moon in Scorpio. Simultaneously, we have Mars in Scorpio - gaining immense power and offering us the opportunity to change, transform, and level up. This is such a time for courageous and bold action! But will there be explosive intensity or volatility? This month is an interesting combination of raw, bold power while also showing emotional intensity and vulnerability. We discuss staying grounded, curious, and realistic to held keep us supported in the month ahead. 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! I've been in the worm hole looking at historical events and upcoming transits. I wanted to share some speculation on upcoming transits between now and the next 8-9 years. This is a meandering, casual podcast sharing ideas and theories I'm considering as I do initial research. I can assure you that as time goes on, I will continue to offer more in depth and thoughtful analysis. It's almost impossible to organize and fit 8-9 years of transits into a single, digestible episode! Note: Something I found SUPER interesting that I did not include, in 1751, Saturn and Jupiter were with the nodes in opposition (similar to what we will see coming up), and it was when the first encyclopedia was introduced! This could be a period of great awakening and age of awareness...
