134 | Mindful Men: Vedic Astrology with Richard Powell

 

SUBSCRIBE ON ITUNES

Announcement: Enrollment is now open for the next cohort of the Way of the Priestess. and Richard will be one of our guest teachers

When I first discovered that when everyone is talking about “Full moon in Leo,” and the actual moon in the sky is most often in the constellation of Cancer, my mouth dropped! How could this be?

This episode has been a long time coming! I’ve been referencing what I’ve learned in Vedic astrology more and more in the episodes, so I wanted to sit down with guest expert, Vedic Astrologer Richard Powell.

Richard explains the difference between the tropical and sidereal zodiacs, and how the tropical zodiac is actually a snapshot of what the sky looked like from about 1800 years ago. There has been a 24 degree shift of the sky since then, due to the Earth's wobble on it's axis, and Vedic astrology has taken this into account.

Ever since I was a kid I loved looking at the stars and astronomy was one of my favorite subjects in school. I’ve always asked questions like, “Why are we here? Where did we come from, and what’s the point of all of this?” So many of these questions have begun to be answered through my study of Vedic Astrology, the ancient form of astrology from India.

In Vedic astrology, our chart is a printout of our karma, the lessons our soul came to experience in this life. We bring with us our beneficial and challenging karmas to be lived out and worked through. Our soul has different reasons for incarnating - for example maybe it is for Dharma (Purpose and Right Action), Artha (Money, and how we earn it), Kama (Passion and desire) or Moksha (liberation). I’ve also been wowed again and again by the accuracy of Vedic Astrology, to predict dates and beneficial phases.

For example... Richard has helped me choose dates to buy a car, beneficial times to plan a wedding, has predicted certain moves I’ve had, and so much more.

In this episode we discussed:

  • The differences between Western and Eastern or “Vedic” astrology

  • The “Four Aims of Life” (Dharma, Artha, Kama and Moksha) and why our souls choose to incarnate

  • The 12 constellations, what planets they are ruled by and what are their unique energies

  • Each of the planets and their energies

  • Phases of life ruled by the planets and how to find out what phase of life you are in

  • The nodes of the moon: Ketu and Rahu: And our experiences from these life phases

Links in this Episode:

  • View your unique chart: https://deva.guru/ - exact birth time does make a difference so be sure to check your birth certificate

  • Your “sign” in vedic astrology will be the number in the top center diamond (1-12) in the chart

  • Your “phase of life” will be the planet listed in the “Viṁśottarī Daśā” section underneath the chart

118 | Navigating Change & the Power of Listening with Jane Mayer

 
jane-mayer.jpg

SUBSCRIBE ON ITUNES

It was an honor to sit down with Jane Mayer, a true voice and channel for the heart of the Holy One. In this conversation, Jane shares about her journey through the hallways of darkness to find her way back to the light of presence and union.

Years ago she found herself unhappily married, struggling with an autoimmune disease and just coming off a failed round of in-vitro fertilization. She was crying, raging, and in deep, deep grief and paralysis. Her soul was screaming at her: it wanted her to change everything. But in the face of such a request, is it any wonder she didn’t want to listen?

Is it any wonder so many of us don’t want to listen?

Jane now offers multidimensional guidance and song for those who long to remember their True Selves. This conversation leads us from darkness to light, with insights from indigenous wisdom, and how listening may just be the deepest medicine we need now in the western world. We also discuss what it means to truly trust on a spiritual path and how to make sense of all the big changes humanity is now facing (COVID, Climate change for example).

Be sure to stay all the way to the end to receive the codes Jane channels through song, in service to our pathway Home.

In this episode we discussed:

  • Jane’s spiritual path and journey of awakening from Birmingham, Alabama to the mountains of Peru

  • How Jane found her voice

  • What it means to listen, what takes us away from it, and how to take small steps to start tuning in to your own inner voice

  • Christ codes of Sarah, Magdalene and Yeshua 

  • Healing on behalf of our ancestors

  • Does healing ever end? How do we know when we have arrived? Where are we headed as a collective?

  • Shifts in consciousness, death rites, and finding the courage within to surrender and welcome change

“On personal and societal levels, our ability to thrive hinges on whether or not we commit to deeply listening. I fully believe that this is the frontier of our generation.

Indigenous people around the world are masterful at these practices—and as a result, they live harmoniously with nature, avoid many of the modern, nervous-system diseases of the west, and maintain healthy communities. In fact, many indigenous wisdom keepers believe that all mental illness is a result of soul sickness—of disconnection from our inner voices.” ~ Jane Mayer
