About the Podcast:

Diasporaa was the name of Aditya's startup based in Vancouver, BC. It focused on helping new immigrants in Canada find their feet, get off to a running start and ease their assimilation into Canadian life. A big part of the platform were conversations, community and support. Though the startup stopped growing once Aditya moved to Seattle, WA - it remained alive in the form of several discussion groups and online communities.

Now, Diasporaa has been resurrected in the form of a podcast focused on sharing interesting immigrant stories from the South Asian diaspora and uncovering how much we have in common despite our differences. It is available on YouTube, all major podcast platforms such as Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, etc. and is also broadcast as a radio show on Alternative Talk 1150 AM and 98.9 FM HD Channel 3 on Wednesdays from 2-3pm PST.

About Aditya Mehta:

Aditya is a Bombay boy who has lived in Austin, Los Angeles, Washington DC, and Vancouver before making it to his current home in Seattle. He has degrees in marketing, urban planning, real estate and strategy but has spent his career in financial services, social media and now real estate - mostly as an entrepreneur and partly as an employee at Amazon.

He balances Indian, Canadian and American culture, loves helping those who are new to North America and looks forward to the interesting stories that his interview guests bring each week. When not podcasting, he is helping his wife Prachi build her pharmaceutical business or hanging out with his son Arjun.

Archetypal Symbols panel about the “6° Gemini New Moon Core Communications Transform”.

6°’06’ Gemini New Moon cosmic energies on 26 MAY, 11:02 pm EDT Washington DC; & 27 May 3:02 am UT Greenwich UK

“The Hermetic Code encapsulated in its phrase, “As below so above” states cosmos energies reflect consciousness. The day before the Gemini New Moon occurs, Saturn entered Aries to conjunct Neptune in Aries. Saturn connected with Neptune focuses on spirituality,” said Sue Minahan, founder, and host of the weekly show. “This new moon in Gemini encourages communicating with higher realms of consciousness. Collectively we’re experiencing a holistic sense of connections with nature enhancing an embodied spirituality.”

Archetypal Symbols integrate each New Moon’s astrology, numerology, tarot, the Jyotish Nakshatra, with Sabian Symbol system of mystical imageries created in 1925 by spiritualist medium Elsie Wheeler and astrologer Mar Edmund Jones.
