I’m working on a total beginner’s guide, so even if you don’t know anything about astrology yet, you can follow along and apply what I share.

Full Moon in Mula / Sagittarius - Saturday, June 22nd

08:19: Last episode, I talked about the Full Moon happening in Mula Nakshatra in Sagittarius on Saturday, June 22nd. This Full Moon brings an opportunity for deep emotional and mental reflection, getting to the root of matters. It’s a time for inner work, therapy, or activities that help you connect with your core self. Mula, ruled by Nriti, the goddess of destruction, signifies necessary transformation and letting go of old beliefs and ways of doing things. This period can be challenging but ultimately leads to renewal and growth.

Mercury in Punarvasu - Sunday, June 23rd (6 Days)

12:39: On Sunday, June 23rd, Mercury moves into Punarvasu Nakshatra, ruled by Jupiter. This brings a more optimistic and wise approach to communication and learning. This period is great for teaching, learning, and exploring new ideas with a positive outlook. Punarvasu represents the return of the light, bringing new possibilities and hopeful energy. It’s a good time for clearing out old clutter, both physical and mental, and making space for new ideas and experiences.

Walk away knowing exactly what to focus on, what to avoid and when to plan your most important dates for health, wealth, relationships and living your life purpose. My goal is to help you make 2022 not just better than last year, but one of the best years of your life!

In this special episode I share some fascinating stats on goal setting / new years resolutions and why 9 out of 10 people fail their resolutions. I'll share about the major transits and patterns of history we can see playing out with astrology and how 2022 can be not just better than last year, but one of your best years yet. 

The most obvious cycle we can learn from is the 2020 transit of Saturn. The Covid-19 pandemic completely changed the world but while everyone was wondering when it would end, Vedic Astrologers knew the global pandemic would not be a 2 week event, but the beginning of a rare, difficult 2.5 year Saturn transit representing delays, setbacks, restrictions and specifically illness for elder men of color, the population most vulnerable to the disease. If you go back in history you will find that the Black Plague was attributed to a rare conjunction of Mars, Saturn and Jupiter in Capricorn that happens roughly every 700 years - the same one that happened in March 2020. Not only that, but it coincided with Rahu in Ardra, something that happens every 18 years and marked the events of 9/11, the AIDs outbreak and other globally tragic events. What life changing events could astrology help us plan for going forward?

Today begins a new series on how to best manage your time and energy applying the Vedic Astrology teachings of Hora. No matter what your birth chart is like, hora effects us all.

Hora is a branch of Jyotish that suggests there are certain times of the day when auspicious actions such as marriage, investments, business transactions, asset purchases, journeys, relationships, meetings and medical treatments can be taken.

The Hora is the duration in a day (the duration between sunrise to sunset is divided by 12 equal parts and the next session from the sunset to the sunrise is considered the other 12 parts of the Hora), ruled by a particular planet. In a week, on every day, starting from the dawn to dusk, there are 24 Horas ruled by seven planets. Sun hora begins at sunrise on Sunday. Moon at sunrise on Monday, and so on.

This series will help you understand the rolling planet of each hour of the day. When you align yourself with these energies your actions are in alignment with the cycles of the planets. I encourage you to experiment with this and find how it feels resonant for you. If you have a significant task to complete, you may find it helpful to chant the mantra associated with that ruling planet. In each episode I will share a mantra for each planet.

The hora is about one hour for each planetary period, repeating in this order:

• Sun
• Venus
• Mercury
• Moon
• Saturn
• Jupiter
• Mars

Today I will share all about the Sun hora

• When does this hora begin?
• What activities are favorable during this hora?
• What activities are not favorable during this hora?
• What is the mantra for this hora?

If you enjoy this podcast, check out the new Quietmind Yoga Membership where I share weekly yoga classes and mini workshops. Today I just posted a new class on creating an Ayurvedic daily routine (Dinacharya). I will soon be adding recordings of mantras for each of the Horas that I share about in this series. http://www.quietmind.yoga/membership to learn more!

Thanks for listening,

Jeremy

How do you know if you're making a decision from intuition, or if you're making a decision from overthinking

This is a common question I hear and one of the most important things to address on a spiritual path.

Intuition is that quiet, calm voice inside you. It’s consistent and feels right, guiding you towards decisions that really resonate with who you are. Overthinking, on the other hand, is noisy, chaotic, and leaves you feeling anxious. It’s that mental chatter that makes it hard to trust yourself. When you’re caught up in overthinking, your mind is spinning with doubts and fears, making it tough to hear your intuition.

Yoga and meditation are game-changers for quieting your mind and tuning into your intuition. Practices like asana (yoga poses), pranayama (breath control), and dharana (focused concentration) are super effective for calming your mind and bringing you back to your center. With regular practice, you’ll start to notice the difference between those anxious thoughts and the calm, steady voice of your intuition.

In yoga, we talk about cultivating sattva—the quality of purity and balance. Living a sattvic life means eating clean, spending time in nature, and doing things that bring you mental and emotional clarity. By cutting back on things that create inertia (tamasic energy) or agitation (rajasic energy), you make room for your intuition to come through more clearly.

Staying grounded is key to keeping your energy stable and your intuition strong. Simple practices like walking barefoot on the earth or sitting quietly on the ground can make a huge difference. When you’re grounded, you’re more present and less likely to get lost in your thoughts. Grounded decisions are slow, steady, and feel solid—just like the roots of a tree.

We live in a world that’s always noisy, so carving out time for silence and stillness is crucial. Whether it’s through meditation or just sitting in nature, these quiet moments help your mind settle so your intuition can rise to the surface. Some of my best ideas and insights have come from simply sitting in silence by the ocean or in a quiet space.
