Everyday Ayurveda with Kate

30. How Vedic Astrology Can Help You Heal, Grow, and Thrive


Listen Later

Have you ever wondered how Vedic astrology could offer more than predictions — how it might serve as a tool for healing, understanding, and inner growth?

In today’s conversation, Kate sits down with Roma Kapadia, a Mumbai-based Vedic astrologer, to explore how the ancient science of astrology aligns with Ayurveda and yoga to guide us toward a deeper relationship with our true selves.

Roma shares her personal journey of discovering astrology through a health crisis, discusses the essential differences between Vedic and Western astrology, and explains how understanding planetary periods can bring clarity, purpose, and resilience to everyday life.

This conversation offers not just a glimpse into the planetary map at the time of your birth — but a living, breathing method for navigating life’s challenges with greater empathy, patience, and trust.

Whether you’re new to astrology or curious about how it connects to Ayurveda and your soul’s journey, this episode opens the door to powerful insights and practical wisdom.
