February is the month of Love and in the spirit of Valentine's Day, here is an episode all about the Vedic Astrology of Compatibility and Timing.  We'll delve into the Birth Charts, Navamshas, D12s, Transits and Varshaphal to see if Vedic Astrology can explain why we love who we do and what keeps us together.  This episode combines my love of Vedic Astrology with my role as a Celebrant of Symbolic Ceremonies (www.arenadotempo.pt/en-gb) Join me on Patreon (www.patreon.com/fionamarques) if you want to keep the conversation going.  And if you want to learn to read a Vedic Chart like this, check out The Asheville Vedic Astrology Apprenticeship Program on teachable.com.  Enormous thanks and gratitude to the couple for being the subjects of today's podcast.

In 42 short years, Elvis lived and produced more than many of us can in a whole life time.  Where can Vedic Astrology shed light on this extraordinary life?  In the episode, Craig Hoyle and I examine how the Vishnu Yoga, Vesi Yoga and Anapha Yoga contributed to Elvis' success and productivity.  We also try to answer questions such as:

• why did Elvis give so much of his wealth to others?
• what made it hard for him to be present as a father?
• why did he struggle with the balance between spirituality and indulgences?
• why did he push his vitality so much with amphetamines? and
• was he ever really able to control his fame?

We'll look at how the Lajjitaadi Avastha of Sun-Venus starvation (mutual) encouraged him to sacrifice what he wanted for his responsibilities.  And explore the 12th House where his self confidence perhaps truly resided.

Chapter 11 Verses 14-16 of Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra outlines the formula for calculating the Prosperity or Annihilation of a House in a Birth Chart.  While it can be distressing to be assessed as having an 'annihilated' house - yikes! - is the BPHS formula actually revealing the secret life-coaching levers that we can use to pivot our behaviour and create success?  Join me as I revisit the factors involved in the formula and discuss possible insights arising from each question of Annihilation.  In the discussion, I also touch on Professor Snape from "Harry Potter", "There's a Hole in My Sidewalk: The Romance of Self-Discovery" by Portia Nelson and "Milton's Secret" - a film based on the work of Ekhart Tolle.  I hope you enjoy and I look forward to your feedback.  If you would like to learn to read Vedic Astrology, please visit The Asheville Vedic Astrology Apprenticeship Program on teachable.com at https://vedic-astrology.teachable.com/courses/vedic-astrology-apprenticeship-program?affcode=472402_kmvc7dum
