With the recent pile-up of planets around the equinox, over the past few weeks, I’ve enjoyed pondering the question - are we watching a Pisces story, an Aries story, or an Aryamā story unfold?

It’s a question that keeps echoing through my readings, my teaching, and the global headlines. And in this episode of Predicting with the Adityas, I invited the Laura Barat back to explore that question with me.

Together we:

reflected on the New Moon conjunct Mars, Mercury, Saturn (and Neptune) on 17 April

considered the coming Full Moon in Aṃśu on 1 May

examined Venus and Uranus’ conjunction and their move into Varuna

plus what the Jupiter-Ketu conjunction in Vivashwan might it might signal

… and more details about Astronomically Correct Rāśi Aspects and general approaches on how to read transits through using Adityas Astrology

If you’re interested in understanding the current sky using Aditya Astrology, I hope you will take a listen! (And don’t forget to send me any questions you have for Laura next month).

This episode was recorded 22 April 2026 during a period of intense planetary activity around the equinox, which inspired Fiona’s ongoing inquiry into how different zodiacal layers express themselves in real time. No prior knowledge of Aditya Astrology is required — the conversation is accessible, reflective, and designed to help you orient yourself inside the current cosmic pattern.

Welcome to Episode 3 of Fiona’s Adityas Podcast. In this series, The Healing Power of Mythology, we sit together as students of the Adityas, drawing on the ancient, indigenous approach to Vedic astrology taught by Ernst Wilhelm at astrology‑videos.com. Each month, during the Sun’s transit, we open an unstructured, heart‑led conversation about one Aditya, weaving mythology, symbolism, and lived experience to understand this thirty‑degree segment of space. In this episode, we explore Aryamā, the Aditya of reciprocity, thresholds, and long term companionship. Linked to the equinox, Aryamā teaches us how to cross from one state of being into another - honoring what we inherit from our ancestors while gently releasing what no longer serves. Together, we reflect on themes of safe harbor versus getting stuck, the balance between stability and change, and the qualities Aryamā asks of us such as restraint, patience, forbearance, forgiveness, and consistent procedure - the quiet virtues that make long‑term love and society possible. Through stories of Nārada’s devotion and yearning for Viṣṇu, echoes of the Rāmāyaṇa (including Hanuman’s origins), the matriarchal wisdom of the Kim Purushas, and Rishi Pulaha receiving direct knowledge, we explore how Aryamā reveals love as both the path and the “shortcut.” If you’re curious about mythology, the Adityas, or the deeper patterns that shape relationship, culture, and spiritual maturity, we’d love for you to join us.

In this Aditya‑based Indian astrology episode, I sit down with astrologer Laura Barat to reexamine the major outer‑planet transits of 2026 using the Adityas - for those of us learning to work with these deities as a living, predictive framework. This episode is an offering to help students and practitioners understand how Aditya‑based astrology reveals a different picture from tropical interpretations, especially as Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto are all entering female rasis (not to mention the nodes!)

Laura and I explore how Saturn and Neptune in Aryama shift global alliances and reciprocity, how shamed Sun and Mars in Dhata relates to recent conflict, and why using astronomically correct rashi aspects can impact predictive outcomes. We also look at Uranus moving from Mitra to Varuna, Pluto in Parjanya, and the upcoming Jupiter–Ketu and Rahu–Pluto continuum.

We close with timing cautions around Mars–Rahu–Mercury and Mars–Saturn, plus reflections on whether we truly are living in “extraordinary times.” If you’re learning to predict with the Adityas, this episode is a practical and grounded guide to what’s developing in the months to come.

Welcome to Episode 1 of Fiona’s Adityas Podcast — I’m so excited to share this offering with you. In this series “The Healing Power of Mythology”, my co‑host Nadamayi and I explore the Adityas through Aditi’s Circle of Love — our ecliptic - drawing on the ancient, indigenous approach to Vedic astrology taught by Ernst Wilhelm at astrology-videos.com.

Each month, during the Sun’s transit, we sit together as students (not teachers!) for an open, unstructured conversation about one Aditya, weaving mythology, symbolism, and lived experience to gain insights into this thirty degree segment of space.

In this first episode, we explore Dhātā, a deceptively simple yet foundational Aditya connected to “is-ness”, love, family, responsibility, and the natural flow of life. We also touch on Vidhātā, the allocator of life‑force, and how these principles combine to foster life.

Through stories - including Uttaṅka, the weaving of day and night, Vasuki, Hetih, Rishi Pulastya, Tumburu, and even more themes of lineage — we reflect on DNA, inheritance, discernment, healing trauma, and how contemplative practice with myth and music can support inner alignment.

If you’re curious about mythology, the Adityas, or exploring the deeper patterns of life, we’d love for you to join us!
