(AI Generated Transcript)
I'm Brooke Shannon Sullivan, and you can check out more of my programs and offerings at TheWildTemple .com and I'm on Instagram @TheWildTemple. I look forward to continuing our journey together.
Be well. I've always been intrigued by the mysteries, as I'm sure many of you listening are as well.
And the skeptic in me is just as equally curious how to live how we can evolve into our greatest potential.
For me, Tantra, when I finally found Tantra, it was like, "Whoa, there is someone who speaks my language and who is giving me a language that is helping me to understand the subtle realms, the energetic realms that I was so familiar with, yet kind of lost in the abyss of."
These mysteries are just they're more comfortable. So I love the bridge of the two where these four wisdom sciences that came from the motherland of India way way way way way back when and are laced with or embellished by handed to us through this language called Sanskrit which starts with sound vibration give thanks for this right we have these tools that can help us However,
and measured, right?
Because a lot of it is subjective, but there's still value in empirical science, right? It's so we can't put it under a microscope. Not yet. We can't really understand why it's working, but they work. And so I'm really thrilled to bring on my show today this wonderful, deep woman who has a doctorate in religious studies and Sanskrit and is a teacher of Vedic astrology, which is Jyotish.
Jyotish especially gave me a greater view of my entire life in a way that it helped me to point a compass to what was important. So for example, in my first astrological reading, I was revealed to the fact that I have a tendency towards addiction, towards leaning into and being very curious about the addiction.
The unseen realms that can be very harmful and that was something that I've inherited from lifetimes upon lifetimes and so to watch out for that was really helpful because yes that as a again some of you have probably been listening I was a teenage runaway and just a lot of hard things happened to me early on in my life that made me turn towards really the darkness to try to understand why there was so much dark in my life.
So that was one insight. And then the second one was really that I need to be very slow in my mornings, that I work best with giving myself the time and the space to write, to do my practice, to get my mind clear and my body's energy settled before I tackle on the day.
And that first astrologer said that I need four hours to myself. every morning. I was like, whoa, that's ridiculous. I was a new mom. I was like, there's no way I can make that happen. And guess what? I pretty much made that happen because it was important.
And I've noticed the drastic benefits that it helped me attain. So that was just one experience. But I would say the biggest one was how all of the astrologers have told me it's in one way or another, that I am naturally gifted at tantric studies, at really being a tantric.
And as a white American, that was not raised in a house full of yogis, that at first was really hard to digest, like, who am I to be doing this work? And, you know,
one of my astrological readings, it was with Paula Crossfield. She said, "Brooke, your chart has been activated in the eighth house as a tantric most of your life.
So who are you not to bring these teachings forward? You understand this transformative nature of the universe at a very practical level." And that was a beautiful aha for me.
With the episode today, I share with you how Dr. Katie has personally helped me. You'll get to hear how she places things in a framework that gives you a language of a greater understanding of this science.
And it takes it out of woo -woo. It puts it actually into more of a scientific realm, but a mystical science, a spiritual science. And what I love about Jyotish is it's actually backed by what's going on in the stars.
It's a cosmology and a map that leads you to the universe. Yeah,
many other topics, and we did not get into what her predictions are for 2024, but I just wanted to share just a few and then please check out her podcast,
check out her website, maybe even join one of her study groups, you can be tapped into the flow and the rhythms of the seasons.
But one of her predictions is based on where the moon was at the beginning of this start of the year, and other indications, she really believes that there's a very powerful rise in. in women's leadership right now and possibly for America, we could maybe have more of a leadership in presidency or in the office.
So that would be really lovely to see. And then another thing that she shared that I thought was so fascinating is that in Vedic astrology, one of the planets will kind of be the planet of the year, like take more of a lead in what's going to unfold in the year. And so she was saying that this year is a very Saturnian year.
And for those of you who know about Saturn, it's, you know, it's resolving a lot of karma, slowing things down so that we can really tend to the details so that the systems are operating correctly so that the Shakti can flow, right? Your life flows. So according to my other teacher or guide, Paula Crossfield, with Vedic Astrology, she says, "When you're wanting to work with Saturn, when you're wanting to find a remedy for Saturn, clean out your closets, clean up the messes, organize your Google Drive folders." I love it. Very practical wisdom.
I just want to share how I met you, how I was introduced to you, a Tantric practitioner, colleague of mine who I've also interviewed on this podcast, Jean Heilman. She said, "Brooke, whenever my life gets really confusing and I need some extra support, I I reach into Jyotish and one of my favorite astrologers is Dr.
Katie Jane. And so that was the first time I heard your name. And then the really shortly afterwards, I also heard your name through the Shakti school of Ayurveda,
which we have both been teachers who I'm not sure if you still teach for the Shakti school, but yeah, so. - Love Katie Silcox. (laughs)
Yeah, she's she's so amazing.
And in 2020, was where I personally got my connection to you. So I, like many people had a really hard 2020. And every single thing in my life that could possibly dissolve dissolved, except my marriage give thanks. But I remember reaching out to you and saying, wow, you know, I just hit rock bottom with sickness. The fires have been nonstop in California.
My daughter just left for college. We were empty nesters. All of these things were dissolving. And I was facing possibly needing to move back to Asheville,
North Carolina. And so you did a private session with me and really encouraged me to come back to this nature that's very effeminate. and very moist and said you know this will be incredibly nurturing for you and your home environment and you are really correct.
So I remember signing on for your Life Insight Mastery course and I'm probably the world's worst online student but what I've done is I've listened to most of the videos these monthly mentorships.
And so I've joined that in the Sangha. And I'm just a very, I would say a novice at studying Jyotish. And I love it. I find that along with a lot of people,
I was really wary with astrology, because a lot of it in the Western astrology to me feels very much like, what's your type? Hey, baby, what's your sign? And with Vedic astrology, it's different because I'm a yoga practitioner, a tantric practitioner. to superstition, to spiritual bypassing, right? Like, "Oh, everything in my world is going wrong because Mercury is in retrograde." And this, I think, is a really wrong understanding to bring to the art and science of Jotisha.
Jotisha, the literal meaning is not astrology, but rather a system of enlightenment, to be enlightened. There's something really mad seat of the witness state of consciousness, I can choose how I want to play this field of my life purpose and all the things that happen to me, namely my dharma, purpose or my karma,
that the sum total of my life lessons. So in this way, Jyotisha enlightens us.
It's just like when we meditate, we go into that force.
Oh,I love that so much the like that clear power of seeing as the witness bypassing all of the Intantra we call the Mahamalha the great confusion. Yes.
Right and how you also use the word in the very beginning kind of like a mastery so I see the more we step into our self mastery are really being able to see clearly be healthy.
Act appropriately, align best with nature, that to me is like a level of mastery that a lot of us are working towards. And to have a map like Jotish to really help us get there is really, really valuable in my opinion.
- Yeah, that's a good word, map.
You know, it's a map for your life's trajectory, what you're here to be, become and achieve. It's an incredible intricate divine plan in which every single moment has been perfectly orchestrated.
But we also have free will. So we have the free will to decide how we're going to play this destiny that we're given.
I recently learned this from my grandfather who used to give blood, instead of having it taken from him.
And that is exactly the value of knowing the fields that you're playing in,
which is your Vedic birth chart. You can choose. I can choose the default position, which is what I inherit from my culture, my peer group, my family,
even my peer group, birth impressions. And that's, that's what causes us to suffer because we use our free will in such a way that we're enhancing the most difficult aspects of our life.
But if we could see, ah, that same karma, that same pint of blood, I can willingly give it in a way that is much more more productive and helpful.
And that's where the wisdom comes in.
Yeah. I love this interpretation, and it brings me to another question that I have had for you for a while now.
I think his name, Nala Sarasvati, he's a, I don't know what you call him, a jeweler? He's also a jeweler. joetish, I had a reading with him recently.
- Yeah, so he gave me a reading. I lived with, he was in Nevada city, California also. And I remember he was looking at my chart many years ago and he says, "Oh, but you're a yogi." So not a lot of this won't read as if I were reading to a regular person.
And that stuck with me of, well, how do you know? now that I'm studying Jyotish, how can you look at someone's chart and know what's working, what's not working, like what karmas are we dissolving? I mean, that was my first question for you, but I'm seeing this in another way based off of what you just shared, which I love, where we inherit this default, this default network or default position of conditions and, you know, Jyotish.
And all of the things and if we are in a sadhana in a spiritual practice and we're developing not only our own witness consciousness to be able to be aware and make higher more relevant authentic choices for ourselves but we have this roadmap of jyotish to also see where are the pitfalls or where might something get a little bit tricky, experience of detachment that comes when your life's narrative is laid out for you.
It naturally brings you into that state that yoga achieves, which is, "Ah, I'm not any of this. I'm not my thoughts, my feelings, the things that happen to me. I'm somebody else that's watching all of this." So in that sense, I treat everybody like a yogi, but the technique of Jyotisha. observed.
This is something that we are discovering, like I said in quantum physics, but it has been known in the Vedic tradition for, you know, thousands and thousands of years, this value of seeing. And when I realized that, oh, it's my perspective that makes all the difference in the world, knowing the higher perspective can really manifest. manifest a much more pleasant, you could say, experience of your karma.
You still may be going through a very, very difficult time, but you see it from a different light, so your experience of it improves.
This is yoga. That's definitely yoga, yeah, and if we were to lean that into Dharma, of your particular rising sign is that of Uttara Ashadha,
which is the name of my particular star cluster of this particular constellation.
And so I think you said the power of this is the one of victory and the one of gathering all of the skills and talents to create a legacy of some kind.
And when you share this with me, it alleviated so much of the struggles that I has something called a swadharma.
And swadharma means inherent life purpose. But like I said, we also have choice. So it's the choice that makes it difficult.
We can decide, oh, I want to be this person, I want to be that person. This is my problem with the intention experiment, the power of intention.
Yes, we do have the power of intention. But like, for example, I can intend my entire life that I'm going to be a supermodel. It's never going to happen.
And I'm five, two, my husband says I'm five, one, that I make it up them five, two, you know, I'm old now. There's just no way I'm ever going to be a supermodel.
So, you know, the power of intention has to be much more intelligently applied. teaches us how you're imprinted.
So when you saw that, ah, you had that aha moment. Oh wow, suddenly I'm reflected back to me and I'm validated for what I know and feel deep inside.
An astrologer shouldn't be telling you something that you don't already know. It's not a mystery. It's a validation for your highest self.
Ooh, I love it. In the empowerment, what you're speaking is a huge, sacred technology for empowerment.
If we're looking for tools to our highest selves, to our highest calling, this is one of the ways that we can do it just based off of really these two things that you've said a lot of things, but the two on the top of my mind are, you know, we inherit them. this default position, but when we can see the map, we have the choice, that free will, but then also the validation that an astrologer, a jyotish is saying, "Hey, you know this about you, let me highlight this." And I do love that about you have shared, why pick out the parts that are wrong? We also know what's wrong, but why not point out on the chart where your strengths are to help you? lean into them a bit more?
Well, I think so. And, you know, everybody has a different kind of school of thought.
Speaking of Nala, I had a really interesting reading with him in which, you know, he's amazing. He's very knowledgeable, but he has a completely different approach than I do.
And he said to me, you know, the job of a Jotishi is to point out the dealing with is reference to the higher truth of yourself.
And seeing, oh, you know, I already know all the difficulties that I'm facing, but I may not necessarily be aware of how I'm imprinted to deal with those difficulties.
What are my gifts and talents? What are my strengths? And when that is. the most powerful remedy that you can apply to whatever challenges you're facing in life.
- Absolutely, yeah, I love that. And if we look at just negative bias in our nervous systems and how we're wired to look for the bad, and let's point out something good for once and really lean in on that, I love that perspective.
- Yeah, I've had a couple of readings where it just left me with, oh, this won't ever work, because wham, wham, it's your thing that happened, you know, like I was born on a no moon day. Yes, all that stuff. Yeah. And so even how you shared with the understanding of the moon, and for me, it was strengthening the sun, strengthening Jupiter, you know, you helped me turn towards what can I does is interpret that pattern.
So I always tell everybody that I don't have my ear pressed against the wall of God's office. And I don't. It's an interpretation. I'm looking at a work of art,
and I'm seeing, you know, oh, we can look at this symbol in this way and that sign in this way. But the way that I begin the reading of a Vedic birth chart,
your map to system as opposed to the standard 12 that we're more accustomed to in the daily horoscope.
So I looked to see which one of these 27 personality archetypes, star signs, was rising on the eastern horizon at the time and location of your birth.
And that teaches us how the light rises up in you. What are the parts of yourself that will never ever fail?
They're your givens. And we're aware of them, but oftentimes the givens are interpreted negatively.
So like I have a particular star constellation in my chart, it's not my rising sign, but it's connected to the planet. planet of Mars, which is my planet of willpower.
And it's a star constellation that symbolized by a cat taking a nap in a hammock. And it delivers the positive fruits of a favorable past life, giving a kind of good life approach. been not only imposed on me, but deeply absorbed. Like, oh, I'm, I'm, I'm not effective as a person, which of course is not true at all. But my approach to action is very different.
Because of the presence of that star in my chart, things just happen for me. Life happens while making other plans, as John Lennon said.
And so I can release the the negative self talk around that particular karma in my life and instead flow with what it's actually giving me in the best way.
So like that, your rising star teaches us, you know, you're essentially what your core power is. Well teaching you what your core power is and what will never fail you your Shakti is how I see it in Tantra . You know that that really is something we need for Dharma foundations of yoga and Ayurveda.
Now we're getting into Tantra and so Tantra being Shakti or power. And one of the things was just deep dive into what this word power, the concept of power is what's been conditioned from the external world to shape us in power.
And then what do we feel power to be? You know, what is our true nature? Really trying to share with us what power is as a female in body, because they're all women. as a female embodied person in today, 2024. And what was so beautiful was a lot of what you just shared. It's the power of being able to release into the flow, to surrender to Ashakti, to surrender to even just the witness consciousness of seeing and not needing to do, act, be, manipulate,
abuse, And, you know, it's a power, it's the power of changing and reflection and different perspectives.
And can you share a little bit of this, your insight and experience on how the moon and the feminine are a big piece of Vedic astrology?
Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, I can talk about this. So, Jyotisha is what we call a Vidya in Sanskrit, and a Vidya is a living embodiment. means.
And yeah, that's because this kind of knowledge, this video is not learned like we learned things in books, history and chemistry, etc. It actually takes possession of us. And it suddenly clicks.
Jotisha is a knowledge that's based on the deep, intuitive part of our conscious awareness, that part there's a lot of knowledge that's based on the deep, intuitive that's based on the deep, intuitive part of our conscious awareness, that part there's a lot of knowledge that's based on the deep, intuitive part of our conscious awareness, that knows before knowing, that in Latin it's a priori knowledge.
Before the intellect, before the discrimination, there's a gut level feel knowing. And that's Jyotisha, and that's the realm of the feminine in Jungian psychology,
it's the anima, that part that transcends. of knowledge like I said Vidya.
The other thing that you mentioned was about Vedic astrology being a moon -centered system and oftentimes people ask me what the differences between Western astrology and Vedic astrology which they're asking because they want to like a casual maybe one sentence answer and it's much more complicated than that but essentially we could say that it comes down down to the difference between a sun -based system and a moon -based system.
And Western astrology is a sun -based system based on sun signs, based on the tropical zodiac and the apparent movement of the sun in 12 different positions throughout the tropical year.
Theta -Costrology is based wherever the moon is placed in your chart,
the moon is connected with one of these star constellations. And essentially, the moon delivers all of those impressions, all of those life lessons that are connected with that star, that are also connected with this larger field of your karmic possibilities.
We're much more enormous beings than we... So, wherever the moon is placed in your chart, it shows your soul's journey in this lifetime and the sequence of events that are going to take place in your life that reveal that destiny and life lessons that you have to go through.
It's a really fascinating aspect of Vedic astrology that's different from Western astrology. really doesn't matter because by asking you some questions,
like what are the most significant events in your life? What are the dates of them? I can then wind the clock back using the position of the moon in which you were born and see, oh yes, exactly at the age of eight, you would have had this surgery, you would have had an appendectomy, age 12, parents divorce, you know, and even the exact date of when it happened.
And this is mind blowing. This is, this is something that goes beyond our conceptual knowledge, our intellect and forces us into the domain of the moon, which is a field of, of far greater knowledge that, you know, we only have, like I said, a little bit of. of a portion of that we can see unfolding in your Vedic birth chart.
Yes. That is so huge.
It's huge. And it's a, every time I get on a call with you in the group and I'm learning like one more little section of Jyotish, I remember, hopefully this isn't too much off topic. thing. I've lost everything. And then all of a sudden, all this power comes flooding in. And yeah, so I feel just for those listening and who are curious about Western versus Jyotish or Eastern astrology, they are very different systems. And what I love about this one is exactly what you just shared, Dr. Katie, is there is this ability to see throughout your lifetime where and when these cameras are going to happen, how you can of shape to an unseen,
like, subconscious, effeminate realm to help you materialize something that you're wanting to, or wanting to avoid in life.
Yes, your, your Vedic chart is a map of two things. It, which is also a very different thing from Western astrology. It relies on these fundamental principles of dharma and karma.
It's like, you know, for example, you're an ultra a shadow rising person, which is the sign of the success, the one who reaches the goal. So I may sit down and talk to you all about the beautiful qualities of, of who you are in your highest light. But then you may say to me, yeah, but Dr. Katie, like, I'm not able to succeed, my business is failing. You know, I'm having this setback, I'm having that setback financial troubles and anything but I change in my way of seeing?
That can help me align better with the karma that's unfolding. That's what you mentioned as upaya. Upaya is a beautiful word and we find it in Buddhism.
It means skill in means. So we apply skill in means when we understand that meaning of our understanding.
Karma. What do I do with it? How do I, how do I change my thinking and my perception so that I don't, you know, want something that I can't have at this particular time in life?
Yeah, even exalting it too, like so for the example with myself with Uttara Shadda and the gold success, but what are the the karmas? So for me, it was health. And that's when I first started to talk with you. And I have Mars and K2 in like my fifth house. And what was showing up was just so much fire, fire in my body. I caught West Nile virus. I caught hepatitis. I caught one thing after another, but very mysterious illnesses that nobody could figure out. and look at it from the spiritual lens.
I'm still trying to understand K2, honestly. But what I found was when I started to exalt my connection with fire, spiritualize it, really pay attention to hot spicy foods in the summer, manage my pitta, manage my ambition, and turn my ambition instead of the go -getting, I gotta do this 30 things on my list to more the ambition of fire.
I hold this vision in an altar of my life and I will trust that my intention will be this perfect amount of efforting and perfect amount of non -efforting to allow grace to take me the rest of the way.
And that's when things really started to flow. And that's when I feel like my Dharma really started to come into place. And I had-- life that are interwoven with this Dharma of being a successful person, reaching a target, creating a legacy. So you can see how these two principles, Dharma and karma work together through the power of self -awareness.
And that is the, that's, that's the best upaya. I mean, we can chant mantras, we can wear gemstones. I mean, there is an effect to to those kinds of upayas.
I don't want to discourage them. But the highest upaya, the highest remedy that we have within ourselves is how to see things in the right way.
And in the way, and by right way, I mean the way that produces happiness and minimizes suffering. suffering. - I have one more question, and then I wanted to bring this more into what you're doing. knowledge of sound vibration and this power of seeing and, you know, how, how are these linked and how do these support one another? You'd like to share about this.
Yes, it's a very deep question. So there's a, there's an expression in the Vedas that is really a truth, and that is from near to far. We know everything. Knowledge is from near to far of measurement in the archaeological record that can explain the kind of sophisticated knowledge that the Vedic civilization possessed.
And the only way that they explain it from within the tradition is from near to far. And how this relates to Sanskrit as mantra.
You know Sanskrit, when we hear that word, it just sounds like is what links us,
all aspects of creation are linked through the sacred sound that holds every object in space toward its source, which is the field of unbounded consciousness, the unified field, the source of all knowledge.
So this is how, you know, Sanskrit has actually helped me become a Jyotishi. I didn't start off life. life becoming an astrologer. I didn't tell my parents when I was a little kid, "Hey, I'm gonna grow up and I'm gonna work with people as an astrologer." No, I was fascinated by world religions and I was a life -long yogi,
but also Sanskrit when I first heard the the sounds of Sanskrit as a student in Nepal at the age of 18, something clicked in me, and I wanted to investigate what that was. And through my studies with Sanskrit, especially with traditional Vedic teachers in India, I realized that Sanskrit is not a dead classical language, but rather a technology of consciousness, and that even Jotisha, you know, it was an extension of my studies of Veda and Sanskrit because Jotisha is one of the limbs of the Veda, it's called the Vedanga.
I found a vocabulary for my intuition. I found a vocabulary that explained or a language that could express what I knew and felt inside. And so it was,
you know, when they say which came first, the chicken or the egg. because Sanskrit allowed me to transcend my mind and enter that state of the unified field of which all of us are connected.
So that's a little bit of a very, very big topic. Thank you for the holistic view, but also probably one of the most beautiful definitions of mantra I've ever heard.
So I just rewind and listen to that one again. So Dr. Katie, you have blessed us and it was a lot of hard work. that maybe it was easy. I don't know, maybe it wasn't hard, but into this 2024 planner. And I would just love for you just to share a little bit about this. And then you are also launching a study group and a moon using moon news meditation circle.
You have a lot of really wonderful things that you're offering. So anything that you'd wish to share about this?
Well, first of all, all, I just have to like, just say that I'm loving like you touching that journal and holding it and flipping through the pages because, you know, this was, it was a labor of love to create a guide that can help us align with the availability of the heaven's heavens above, what are the opportunities, what are the times of caution, how can I plan "my life in the year ahead" according to a divine plan?
I created this 2024 Vedic Astrology life in the year ahead. Planner and Companion Journal set because every year at the beginning of the year,
like maybe some of you who are listening do the same thing, every year at the beginning of the year, I start to dream up the year, start to plan it. I get one of these fancy planners and I start writing my goals.
You know, how much money I would have make, what are my health goals, what are my, you know, self improvement goals and I, you know, start like putting them in the calendar and to do lists and by March, I'm done. Like it's so funny, I was looking at my planner from last year and it was like, full, full, full, full, until March and then like just a couple of notes.
like looking at you know where the favorable moments lie, what each moment is good for, what I go into in the planet is the transits that are happening and what I believe is the highest focus of those of those transits.
This is this is something called means the natural arrangement of things,
the natural dharmic flow of the big picture, and some means to join with. So rather than paddling upstream, I go with the flow of the natural order, and that I try to lay out in the 2024 planner to give you that map of old okay,
here's where the current is taking us as a collective, and how can you align with that? And also, I use it as a teaching tool to help you learn more about how to read into your own chart, how to use your chart, you know, in a more practical day -to -day way rather than, you know, just when you have... have the big readings with the astrologer, how can you apply that in terms of your own self -knowledge?
So this year, what I'm teaching in the in the planner journal set are the 12 houses of your Vedic chart, the 12 dimensions of who you are, you know, from your personality to your the way that you speak, your your self -esteem,
your self -knowledge. house of the month and really help you to make that clear in your learning of reading your chart.
And also you'll have an opportunity to ask some questions about your chart and the house that we're focusing that month, which will be so interesting in a group setting because everybody in the group will learn not just just about your own chart, but about, oh, well, this person's first house is Capricorn that is so different for me. How do they experience what's happening in the sky above. So it should be a really rich holistic education that serves to make the planner really relevant throughout all 12 months of the year. not just dropping off in March.
So that plus every month, and this is also following the guidelines in the planner, I'm going to have a monthly moon meditation circle in which we'll meet on the new moon and the full moon and and tune into the star constellation that the is is portending in the new phase.
And then in the full moon phase, the, the, the harvests that it's bringing. So we'll also practice a particular meditation on each new and full moon that is connected with the mantra of the nakshatra, the Vedic conception of the universe as everything is made up of sound and the way that I connect on the deepest level. is through sound, through mantra.
So the meditation part of our monthly moon meditation circle will be the recitation of the Sanskrit mantra that's relevant for the moon star each month.
So I'm really excited about the moon meditation circle that I mean I'm excited about about both excited about all three things the plan or the group mentoring program and moon meditation circle but mostly I'm excited about it for the community aspect there's nothing like like -minded people getting together with high vision for the manifestation of great outcomes you mentioned that you met me in 2020 and I [BLANK _AUDIO]
And I was, you know, like everybody was completely depressed at that time. And, and I saw a video of a wonderful Guru who stays with us in Dune Giri sometime, Dadashreeji, who's from Maharashtra here in India. And he, he said, you know, you're never going to have another time like this to evolve your consciousness. And I thought, he's right. You know, I, let me gather. let me gather the souls and let us like turn this into a moment that's truly evolutionary.
So I'm, I'm really excited to gather the souls for 2024 to, you know,
latch on to the incredible evolutionary opportunity that that we're going to experience. And I'm also on Instagram at the same handle.
And when you go on my website, you'll see a banner at the top of the site that will lead you to get all the information about the 2024 planner and companion journal.
And this is so I can't stress like how what a wonderful tool that this is for learning the sacred technologies because I've been a we moon fan for 20 years.
Over 20 years. years, and, you know, fortunately, unfortunately, I don't study Western astrology. So it doesn't translate. The tropical system is slightly different than what's actually occurring in the stars, right? That's a whole other topic of conversation. But what Dr. Giddy has done is she's reflecting the astronomy along with the astrology. So Jyotish is actually what's happening.
