I’m Jeremy Devens, and over the last 19 years I’ve looked at thousands of birth charts. But I still remember the first time I opened one and thought: what is this? You might feel that way too. That’s why in this episode of Quietmind Astrology, I’ll walk you through how to give your very first Vedic astrology reading—even if you’re a total beginner.

We’ll start with your own chart and focus on the Big Three: the Ascendant, the Sun, and the Moon. These three placements are the foundation of readings, and you don’t need to memorize hundreds of things to start interpreting them. I’ll show you a step-by-step system that makes astrology less overwhelming and more practical.

I’ve created a workshop to guide you through this. It’s normally $47, but you can access it free with the link in the show notes. In just 15 minutes, you’ll decode your own Big Three and begin seeing patterns that bring your chart to life.

Step One: Read your own chart.

The letters are the grahas—the Sun, Moon, and planets plus Rahu and Ketu. The numbers are the zodiac signs, not the houses. The Ascendant shows the body and personality. The Moon shows the mood and emotions. The Sun shows vitality and leadership. Start with keywords. Aquarius rising: unique, eccentric, innovative. Moon in Sagittarius: adventurous, philosophical, fun-loving. Sun in Virgo: a leader who thrives on systems and structure. Simple snapshots you can build on.

Step Two: Look at public figures.

Practice with celebrities, musicians, leaders. Find their Vedic birth time (Astrosage.com is great). Then decode their Big Three. Pisces Ascendant might look dreamy, intuitive, spiritual. A Capricorn Moon can reveal a stable, practical mindset. This way you see how astrology plays out in real life.

Step Three: Give your first reading.

Start with an interview reading. Ask open-ended questions about their personality, emotions, and leadership. “What is your personality like?” “What was your relationship with your mother like?” “What inspires you most?” You’re not proving anything—you’re gathering information and building experience.

Once you’ve listened, try leading questions that sound like predictions but invite confirmation: “Do you like to bring harmony to others?” “Was your mom adventurous?” Over time, you’ll see patterns across charts. That’s when you can confidently move from questions to statements—and people say, “It’s like you’re telling me my life story.”

This path is clear: first your own Big Three, then public figures, then interview readings. From there, astrology becomes a living system, not just memorization. The more you practice, the more accurate you become.

Key ideas from this episode:

"You need to experience astrology first (read your own chart) before you try to read others charts"

“The Ascendant shows the body, the Moon the mood, and the Sun vitality and leadership.”

“Instead of memorizing hundreds of things, use the nesting doll system—grahas, then signs, then houses, then nakshatras.”

“Your first reading should be an interview, not a monologue.”

Over the past 19 years, I’ve studied the astrology of thousands of successful people and found patterns you can apply to your own life. In this episode of Quietmind Astrology, I’m breaking down 10 signs of massive wealth in the birth chart, using the case study of Alex Hormozi—who just had a $100 million book launch this past week.

We often look at transits or dashas for timing, but in Alex’s case, what stands out are the innate qualities in his chart that he’s harnessed through discipline and work. These same qualities may be in your chart as well, and today I’ll show you how to recognize and apply them.

We don’t have his exact birth time, but we know his Moon is in Libra, possibly Chitra nakshatra. Using his Moon chart, we see a striking pattern: an overloaded Upachaya house structure—the 3rd, 6th, 10th, and 11th houses. These houses get stronger with time, and planets placed here bring compounding gains. Alex has multiple placements in these houses, showing why his success has scaled.

For example, Saturn in the 3rd gives discipline in communication and marketing. Mars in the 6th points to athleticism and relentless daily effort. His 11th house is stacked with Sun, Mercury, and Ketu, making him a community leader, a powerful communicator, and surprisingly detached from money—a classic Ketu-in-11th trait.

Another wealth sign is the fifth–ninth house connection. Rahu in the 5th aspects Venus in the 9th, fueling creativity, content, and teaching—exactly what he’s built his empire on. Venus in a dharma house (the 9th) brings prosperity through education and sharing wisdom. Combined with Rahu’s drive, this creates an unstoppable force for growth and wealth.

Alex’s Atmakaraka is Mars in Revati, in the 6th house. This shows his soul’s path is about discipline, service, and daily effort. It’s why so much of his work emphasizes free value and helping others. His Sun as Darakaraka in the 11th highlights the pivotal role of his wife, Layla, who amplifies his leadership and legacy building.

What does this mean for you? If you see similar patterns—like strong Upachaya houses, dhana yogas (2 and 11, or 5 and 9 connections), Venus in a dharma house, Rahu in 5 or 11, or your Atmakaraka in 6, 10, or 11—it shows innate wealth potential. These aren’t just about luck; they’re qualities you can harness through effort, systems, and awareness.

This episode isn’t just about Alex’s chart—it’s about how you can decode your own chart to find your gifts for wealth, career, and success. Whether or not you want to make millions, these placements show where effort compounds, how prosperity grows, and how to align with your strengths.

By the end of this episode, you’ll understand:

– Why Upachaya houses (3, 6, 10, 11) are critical for wealth building

– How a strong 11th house brings gains through networks and community

– Why Venus in dharma houses often shows prosperity through teaching

– How Rahu and Ketu placements shape wealth, detachment, and luck

– What Atmakaraka in the 6th, 10th, or 11th reveals about your soul’s path to success

Your chart has wealth indicators too—it’s just about learning how to see and apply them.

The most essential thing to follow Vedic astrology is to have your Vedic birth chart. You can get yours now at quietmindastrology.com/freebirthchart. When you pull it up you’ll see a North Indian style chart, and if you scroll down you’ll also see the section called Dasha. Those four letters R A S U represent Rahu, Ketu, Sun, Jupiter, etc.—the sequence of dashas, or planetary time periods, that shape your life.

Every one of us is on a 120-year timeline of dashas, moving through the nine grahas for a set number of years. Ketu is 7 years, Venus 20, Sun 6, Moon 10, Mars 7, Rahu 18, Jupiter 16, Saturn 19, Mercury 17. Where you enter this cycle depends on the exact degree of your Moon at birth, so accurate birth time really matters. Even a few hours off could shift your starting point.

A dasha is like a tree ripening fruit—different fruits ripen at different times in your life. Not all of them ripen in one lifetime, but when they do, you feel those energies fully. To really understand a dasha you look at the whole chart: where that planet is placed, what houses it rules, and the aspects it receives.

To bring this alive, we’ll look at a real example: Ozzy Osbourne. With respect for his legacy, we can see how his dashas shaped his journey. Born into Venus dasha, with Venus and Ketu in the first house, Ozzy was destined to lose himself in music, relationships, and at times addiction. His Rahu in the 7th showed the pivotal role of his wife Sharon in supporting his career and extending his life.

We see his Sun dasha bringing harsh speech and jail time, his Moon dasha launching Black Sabbath and pioneering heavy metal, his Mars dasha fueling chaos and fire in his solo career, and his Rahu dasha taking him into extremes, shocking behavior, and reality TV fame. Later, Jupiter dasha brought recognition and awards, while his final Saturn dasha in Maga Nakshatra highlighted legacy, ancestors, and performing from a throne as health declined.

One of the most moving parts of Ozzy’s story is how Saturn in Magha gave him a chance to celebrate his legacy at the end of his life—surrounded by peers and fans at his final concert, raising money for charity, closing the circle of his karmic journey. Saturn brings the karmic fruits of a lifetime, and Ozzy’s chart shows that beautifully.

This episode is a deep dive into how the dasha system works, why accurate birth time matters, and how you can use real-life examples to interpret your own cycles.

5 Key Ideas From This Episode:

“The most essential thing to follow Vedic astrology is to have your Vedic birth chart.”

“Dashas are like a 120-year tree of life—certain fruits ripen at certain times.”

“Where you enter the dasha cycle depends on your Moon nakshatra and pada.”

“Ozzy’s Venus-Ketu in the first house showed losing himself in music and relationships.”

“Saturn in Magha brought legacy, recognition, and karmic closure to his life story.”

Your dashas show the timing of your life themes—when certain fruits ripen on your tree. This is one of the most powerful ways to understand your chart, your path, and your potential.

Become a Certified Vedic Astrologer – everything you need to learn astrology in depth, make accurate predictions, and give great readings.

This week we enter one of the most powerful turning points of the year with two major transits: the Moon exalted in Taurus and the New Moon in Leo with Ketu, which begins the six-week Eclipse Portal—the second and final eclipse season of 2025. This is a big transformational time, and in this episode I’ll guide you through how to work with these shifts in a grounded, practical way.

On Sunday, August 17th, the Moon is exalted in Taurus, bringing a nourishing influence. This is a great day for meditation, yoga nidra, massage, aromatherapy, or simply tending to your body and emotions. Exalted Moon days remind us to slow down and do something truly restorative.

By Wednesday, August 20th, Venus moves into Cancer, joining Mercury and the Moon. Venus is love, beauty, art, and pleasure. Cancer is nourishment and care. Together, they invite more tenderness into relationships, intimacy, and creativity. It’s an excellent time for art, music, dance, and romance. The caution is “comfort spending” as a substitute for addressing deeper needs. If directed consciously, this is excellent energy for self-care and meaningful connection.

Then, on Saturday, August 23rd, we step into the Eclipse Portal with the New Moon in Leo conjunct Ketu. New Moons are beginnings, but with Ketu there, it’s also about letting go—shedding old ego identities, control, and attachments to who we think we are. The next six weeks are about surrender and preparing for a new timeline. With Rahu in Aquarius opposite, the energy calls us into something bigger: a more global, innovative, and interconnected future.

This eclipse cycle asks: What roles, attachments, and identities are you ready to release so you can grow into your next chapter? For some, this may mean changes in career, home, or relationship. For others, it may be a subtle inner shift. Either way, eclipse seasons bring fated opportunities for transformation, especially if you have strong placements in Leo or Aquarius.

Astrology gives us perspective on how to navigate these times. Just as the internet reshaped society 30 years ago, AI and financial shifts are reshaping us now. The key is not to get lost in overwhelm, but to reset. Journaling prompts for this eclipse: What am I ready to let go of? What would I keep doing even if no one paid me? Where do I feel most aligned?

And if you’re ready to go deeper, the Vedic Astrology Mentorship is open now. We begin Saturday, August 23rd on the New Moon. This is where I share everything I’ve learned in 19 years of practice—thousands of charts, research, and case studies—all in one clear path. You’ll learn step by step how to read charts, make accurate predictions, and give great readings with confidence.

You’ll get direct access to me, live calls, a private WhatsApp group, accountability partners, and my full tables of positive and negative expressions of every placement. Whether you want to give readings professionally or simply deepen your self-understanding, this program gives you a foundation that will last a lifetime.

Learning astrology can feel super complicated and overwhelming—but it really doesn’t have to be. Over the years, through my own journey and teaching hundreds of students, I’ve seen that there are five clear levels of learning astrology. Once you know where you are on the path, it becomes so much easier to know your next step.

In this episode of the Quietmind Astrology Podcast, I walk you through these five levels—from the “Insta Astrologer,” who scrolls TikTok memes, to the experienced astrologer who can read any chart on the spot with accuracy and insight. You’ll hear how I personally moved from Western astrology into Vedic astrology, why I follow the sidereal system, and how my mentors helped me turn confusion into clarity. I’ll also share how you can use your own chart (and charts of people close to you) to deepen your skills and start moving toward giving accurate, embodied, and inspiring readings.

I’ve created a free assessment at quietmindastrology.com/levels so you can see exactly what level you’re at right now and what your next step is. And if you’re ready for the full in-depth training, check out the Become Your Own Astrologer workshop at quietmindastrology.com/workshop.

Highlights:

• Level one is what I call the Insta astrologer. You might see funny memes on Instagram or TikTok and know your sun sign, but that’s just scratching the surface. It’s like having an iPhone and only using it to check the weather.
• When you get to level two, you become the astrology friend. You’re the one people go to when Mercury goes retrograde or an eclipse happens, and you can explain what’s going on in the sky.
• Level three is the hobby astrologer. You’re reading books, pulling up charts, maybe even doing free readings, but you don’t always feel confident yet. This is where imposter syndrome often shows up.
• Level four is the astrology practitioner. You’re reading charts regularly, maybe asking for donations, and people are giving you honest feedback that helps you grow.
• Level five is the experienced astrologer: accurate, embodied, intuitive, observant, and uplifting. You can look at any chart like you’d read a book, and you know how to find the potential in every placement.

By the end of this episode, you’ll know which level you’re at, what pitfalls to avoid, and how to move forward with a clear path. Whether you just want to understand your own chart better or you feel called to give readings for others, this framework will guide you.

If you’ve ever lost your phone, you know the information on it is incredibly valuable — but without the code to unlock it, it’s useless. Your birth chart is the same way. You can have your chart in front of you, but without knowing how to decode it, you won’t be able to unlock its insights.

In this episode, I’m sharing the simplest and most powerful way to start reading your birth chart: by focusing on the “Big Three” — your ascendant, your moon, and your sun — plus one bonus factor that can be just as influential. We’ll go step-by-step through what each of these tells you, why they’re essential, and how to put them together for a clear and accurate first reading.

I use Beyoncé’s chart as a real-life example now that we have her accurate birth time from her biography: September 4, 1981, 21:47 in Houston, Texas. She has Aries Rising (Ashwini Nakshatra), Moon in Scorpio (Vishaka), and Sun in Leo — three powerful placements that each reveal different aspects of her personality, leadership style, and emotional world. On top of that, she has five placements in Virgo, showing how an abundance of planets in one sign can shape someone’s life as much as, or even more than, the Big Three.

I also share simple tips for decoding sign energies — from the initiating leadership of Aries, to the intensity and mystery of Scorpio, to the regal authority of Leo — and why learning the symbols of the zodiac can take you far in your studies. You’ll hear about the strengths and challenges of each, plus how Beyoncé’s Virgo stellium shows up in her perfectionism, discipline, and attention to detail in her performances.

This is your foundation for everything else in astrology — nakshatras, planetary rulerships, divisional charts — it all builds from understanding your Big Three. I’ll be diving deeper into these tools in my Become Your Own Astrologer workshop, all-new for 2025, with a fully updated 50+ page workbook to guide you. Whether you’re brand new to astrology or you’ve been studying for years, this episode will help you sharpen your skills, return to the essentials, and see your chart in a whole new way.

Key ideas from the episode:

• The ascendant (rising sign) shapes the houses and is the foundation of any chart reading
• The moon sign reveals your mind, emotions, and relationship with the mother
• The sun sign shows where you shine, your leadership, and paternal influences
• Three or more planets in one sign can be as influential as the Big Three
• Learning the zodiac symbols is a quick way to start understanding sign energies

Become Your Own Astrologer workshop this Thursday!

RSVP for free to join live - https://www.quietmindastrology.com/workshopIf you’re like me, you’ve got plenty of inputs in your life — news, podcasts, conversations, books — but how often do you sit and truly listen to the wisdom that’s already inside you? This episode is an invitation to step away from the noise, tune in, and hear what life has been trying to tell you.We’ll explore the energy of Shravana, the nakshatra of hearing and listening, which is especially strong right now under the Full Moon in Capricorn. This isn’t about adding more voices to your life — it’s about giving you perspective and tools to connect with your own internal guidance system.Life speaks in many ways: through your feelings in each moment, synchronicities that show up again and again, repeating patterns in your relationships or work, moments that trigger strong reactions, and the symbols in your dreams. Sometimes these signs are gentle, sometimes they’re loud, but they’re always personal to you. In this episode, I’ll share examples from my own life and insights from Vedic wisdom to help you notice and work with these messages.I'll share about:• Why feelings are one of the clearest forms of life’s feedback• How synchronicities can act as signposts for your path• The role of patterns — both supportive and limiting — in shaping your reality• What triggers reveal about deeper samskaras and opportunities for growth• How dreams act as “letters from the universe” that you can open, read, and learn from• The natural cycles of expansion and contraction and how to work with both• Recognizing “bright lights” that signal alignment and “resistance” that signals growth edgesI’ll also share why it’s so important to create space to process what life is saying, especially in an age where we have more external input than ever before. This is the essence of Shravana energy — listening deeply to your life, not rushing to change everything, but allowing the messages to integrate so you can respond from clarity rather than reactivity.If you want to go deeper with this Full Moon in Shravana, I’ve created a guide with “Opportunities & Challenges” for your rising and moon signs, plus a simple practice to work with this energy. It’s in the free weekly horoscopes email — you can sign up at quietmindastrology.com.And if you’re ready to study astrology for yourself and use it as a lifelong tool for clarity and guidance, join me for the Become Your Own Astrologer workshop. I’ll walk you through the steps to start reading your own chart with accuracy and confidence, so you can work with transits like this Full Moon in real time. Sign up at quietmindastrology.com/workshop — link in the show notes.Life is always speaking to you. The question is — are you listening?5 Key Ideas from the Episode• Life speaks to us in feelings, synchronicities, patterns, triggers, and dreams.• Patterns will repeat until we do something about them.• A dream not analyzed is like receiving a letter and not opening it.• Expansion isn’t always good, contraction isn’t always bad — both are part of the cycle.• To hear what life is saying, you need time, space, patience, and real human connection.Free Downloads, Weekly Horoscopes & Exclusive offers: https://www.quietmindastrology.com/freehoroscopesFree Vedic Birth Chart & Training:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://www.quietmindastrology.com/freebirthchartInstagram:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://www.instagram.com/quietmindastrologyDecode Your Birth Chart: https://www.quietmindastrology.com/decode1:1 Reading: https://www.quietmindastrology.com/readingMentorship: https://www.quietmindastrology.com/mentorshipQuietmind Yoga: https://www.quietmind.yoga

It's August 2025 and we’re stepping into eclipse season by the end of the month. I’ll walk you through all of it in this episode and invite you to join me for some of the most powerful trainings I offer.August 2nd kicks off with the Decode Your Birth Chart workshop — the one to attend if you’ve ever looked at your chart and thought, “What am I looking at?” I’ll show you how to interpret the signs, planets, and houses so you can understand your chart and others’ more clearly.August 9th brings the Full Moon in Shravana, Capricorn, an invitation to emotionally process what’s unresolved from July’s Mercury and Saturn retrogrades. This Full Moon is about listening inward, reviewing your routines, and aligning your day-to-day life with your deeper purpose. Sit in meditation. Listen to nostalgic music. Reassess what’s working and what isn’t.August 11th marks Mercury Direct in Cancer, but the shadow period continues through the month. During Mercury retrograde it's not a good time for starting new things. Let this time be about emotional catharsis, creative expression, and finishing unfinished business. I’ve been seeing tech issues, lost files, and missed details — all part of the process. Don’t resist it. Laugh at it. Flow with it.August 14th is the Become Your Own Astrologer workshop, where I share the 7 steps to practice astrology skillfully and avoid the misinformation so common in AI and online tools. There’s still no AI that’s actually trained for Vedic astrology. They’re all trained on Western. If you want to read accurate, astronomically based charts, this is where to begin.August 16th, the Sun moves into Leo, its own sign. Now’s the time to “step into your power and let it go.” It’s paradoxical, but with Ketu in Leo, the fire of personal power is being redirected toward spiritual growth. If you’ve been asking yourself, “Who am I? Where am I going?” — that’s this transit.August 17th, we get a little reprieve with the Moon exalted in Rohini, a great day for self-care, yoga, walks in nature, spa days, or anything Venusian. Ways that you feel like you’re taking care of yourself, enjoying life, enjoying the senses — very favorable.August 20th, Venus moves into Cancer, shifting the tone from emotional cleansing in Ardra to emotional nourishment. If the first half of August is about crying and catharsis, the second half is about comfort and connection. Deepen the friendship part of your relationship. If you’re single and looking to date, the second half of August is quite nice.”Watch for overindulgence or overwhelm, but lean into creating beauty, intimacy, and play.August 23rd opens the Eclipse Portal, beginning with a New Moon in Leo (Magha) — this is when everything shifts. You go into it one way, you come out another way. This is a powerful time to reflect on your identity, your lineage, and what you’re here to change. It’s no coincidence the Vedic Astrology Mentorship begins the same day. If you’ve been practicing astrology by listening to this podcast, you’re already an astrology practitioner. Now it’s time to go deeper.August 30th, Mercury enters Leo, completing its post-retrograde cycle and bringing clarity, creativity, and spiritual communication. You’ll feel this especially if you’re studying astrology, personal development, or any self-awareness practice. You’ll be ready to move forward with new awareness and clear thinking again.5 Key Ideas• “Feel it so you can heal it”• “Step into your power… and let it go” — Sun and Ketu in Leo are asking for humble strength.• “If you’re listening to this, you are practicing astrology”• “We all get the same 168 hours a week. How do you want to use that time?” — Use the Full Moon to reflect.• “Find your gifts and give them away” — That’s your purpose, and that’s what this month is about.

Download the free Mercury Retrograde Guide at https://www.quietmindastrology.com/mercuryjuly2025From July 17 to August 11, 2025, Mercury goes retrograde fully in the water sign of Cancer. This is part two of three Mercury retrogrades happening entirely in water signs this year—Pisces, Cancer, and then Scorpio. Each one brings an invitation to feel what we haven’t fully felt yet… to process, heal, and finally move forward. “Feel it to heal it” is the essence of this cycle.This episode is your full Vedic astrology guide to Mercury Retrograde in Cancer. I walk you through the entire timeline—from the beginning of the shadow phase on June 29 to Mercury entering Leo on August 30—and how to actually work with this energy.💡 I created a detailed downloadable guide for this transit (free or pay what you want) at quietmindastrology.com/mercuryjuly2025. It includes rising sign practices, reflection prompts, and transit dates so you can stay grounded and make the most of this two-month window.Rather than fearing Mercury Retrograde, this is an invitation to slow down, realign, and pay attention to what’s really nourishing your mind and emotions. “You want to feel it so you can heal it.” That includes rethinking how you communicate, how you digest life emotionally, and how you respond under stress.In this episode, I cover: • Why Mercury struggles in Cancer and how that shows up emotionally and mentally • The connection between your thoughts, breath, and emotions (Upanishadic teachings) • Key dates and transitions from Pushya to Ashlesha nakshatras • How to practically work with this retrograde using Ayurvedic tips, journaling, and pattern interrupts • Why this is a powerful time to revisit old emotional wounds and speak what hasn’t been spokenHere are 5 key quotes from this episode: • “We’re not meant to just think our way through this. We’re meant to feel it.” • “If you’re feeling anxious or unsettled, check your breath. That’s where it starts.” • “You might start to go back through things under the surface in your psyche that need to be uncovered.” • “What really nourishes you—mentally, emotionally, physically? This is the time to reflect.” • “You can either break the pattern now, or repeat it again in the next retrograde.”Whether you’re Mercury-dominant, in a Mercury Dasha, or just curious about how this retrograde may affect you—this episode is for you. And if you’ve been meaning to revisit a conversation, journal more deeply, or finally clear the emotional cobwebs—you’re right on time.The full transit cycle: • June 29: Mercury enters pre-shadow at 10° Pushya • July 17 to Aug 11: Mercury retrograde from 24° to 10° Cancer • July 29: Returns to Pushya nakshatra • Aug 11: Mercury goes direct at 10° Pushya • Aug 21: Returns to Ashlesha going direct • Aug 24: Leaves shadow zone—new clarity • Aug 30: Mercury enters Leo—bold new voice🧘‍♂️ Use this retrograde to slow down. Review your emotional needs. Get curious about your habits. Ask yourself: What am I really feeding myself, mentally and emotionally? And if something feels unresolved—go inward, breathe, and let yourself feel it fully.And if you want to go deeper with astrology—beyond Mercury, beyond Cancer—join me inside the Vedic Astrology Mentorship.

On Sunday, July 13th, Saturn begins its retrograde in Pisces, initiating a four-month cycle of profound introspection and necessary change.In this episode of the Quietmind Astrology Podcast, I talk about what this means for you—not just in theory, but in the very real choices you’re making every day. This is the kind of transit that pulls your attention to what really matters: your energy, your responsibilities, your boundaries, and the structures that either support or sabotage your growth.Saturn is the furthest planet we can see with the naked eye, and it’s always been symbolic of the outer limits—what we can hold, what we can commit to. It’s the energy of the ring, the container, the sacred ‘yes.’ Pisces, on the other hand, has no container. It’s boundless, formless, deeply spiritual and often confusing. So what happens when these two meet? What happens when Saturn goes retrograde in this ocean of potential?We start to re-evaluate everything.This is a time to review, revise, and realign with your vision. We’re talking about a collective and personal upgrade—but you can’t skip steps. You have to go back over old lessons and outdated roles. As I said in the episode, “You may be needing to revisit some old lessons. You may need to replay them so you can spiral up and out of them.”Five key ideas I shared in this episode:— “We’re starting a new four-month chapter about maturing.”— “Saturn in Pisces asks us to break through perceived ceilings and restructure how we live and work.”— “This is a time to revisit your daily foundations: sleep, movement, food, water, nature.”— “Confusion isn’t a problem—it just means the path hasn’t become clear yet.”— “Synchronicities are a signal: if the path feels uphill, maybe it’s not your path.”This cycle (from July 13 to November 28) moves through Uttara Bhadrapada and Purva Bhadrapada, both symbolized by the funeral cot. It’s time to release what’s dead and done. This is about necessary endings—not out of punishment, but to create space for something new and more aligned.Jupiter in Gemini during this time adds mental stimulation and opportunity, but also overwhelm and confusion. I talk about how this can show up as overthinking, overdoing, and burnout—classic signs of Vata imbalance. And I give practical ways to balance it, like eating grounding foods, limiting inputs, and spending more time in nature.In this episode, I guide you through:— How to assess your current structures and commitments— Why your foundational habits matter more than ever— What kind of resistance and fear might show up (and how to move through it)— How to align with divine timing and synchronicities— Why being confused is actually part of the path to clarityAs I said, “Clarity often starts with a date in the future.” From there, you can work backward to build the structure that supports your vision. Whether you’re a go-with-the-flow Pisces type or a Virgo like me who loves structure, this episode will help you find your path within the chaos.You’ll also hear why kundalini energy and the serpent of the depths are powerful guides right now. Saturn in this part of the sky wants us to be stealthy, patient, and precise with our energy.This retrograde isn’t about rushing. It’s about realignment.If this episode resonates, please leave a review, share it with a friend, and check out the links below to go deeper with me.⸻Free Weekly Horoscopes & Exclusive offers: https://www.quietmindastrology.com/fr...Free Vedic Birth Chart & Training:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://www.quietmindastrology.com/fr...Instagram:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠   / quietmindastrology  Decode Your Birth Chart: https://www.quietmindastrology.com/1011:1 Reading: https://www.quietmindastrology.com/re...Mentorship: https://www.quietmindastrology.com/me...Quietmind Yoga: https://www.quietmind.yoga
