BONUS Episode - this week sees a mega birthday for me. While I was not able to be in my hometown to mark the event, what better way to honour the occasion than with an episode all about the Vedic Astrology of Place! Join Kody Henry and me as we examine both the Sidereal and Tropical Vedic Astrology charts of Canberra, Australia's National Capital. While this is truly the niche-iest of niche-y topics - you might be surprised to hear about the roles Saturn, Mercury, a Lajjita Avastha, a Venus-Mars conjunction, Rahu-Ketu on 11-5 and Gemini-Sagittarius, not to mention an important 12th House have all played in the life of this city, its inhabitants and traditional owners. Find out more about Canberra and its unique heritage at Canberra's history | National Capital Authority (nca.gov.au) https://www.nca.gov.au/education/canberras-history.

Text me your thoughts about this epidode ...

In this episode, I’m going to take you on a fascinating journey through the birth chart of King Charles III, the newly crowned monarch of the United Kingdom. His chart is full of extraordinary yogas that make him a unique and unusual ruler. Some of the yogas I’m going to talk about are:

  • Kubera Tulya Yoga, the rare and auspicious combination of planets that gives him wealth and prosperity comparable to Kubera, the god of treasure
  • Adhi Yoga, the beneficial placement of planets in the 6th, 7th, and 8th houses from the Moon that grants him leadership, fame, and success over enemies
  • Mukuta Yoga, the formation of planets in the 1st and 7th houses that gives him a literally a crown! and a lineage
  • Srikanta Yoga, a spiritual yoga with detoxifying qualities
  • Parajathi Yoga, of well placed dispositors in the rasi and navamsha charts that confers him with high status, honor, and respect
  • Kapata Yoga, impacting the 4th lord and enabling someone to keep secrets

I’m also going to show you how these yogas have influenced his personal and professional life from Camilla-gate to compatability.

Do you struggle to use anger effectively? Take heart, the ancient seers of Vedic times were with you! and in this episode, we’re going to look at how even Gods struggle with anger. We'll examine how Mars can be a source of empowerment and liberation for the marginalized, as well as a potential threat or obstacle. We’re going to learn how we can use Vedic Astrology Mythology to understand our own relationship with Mars and how we can harness its power for positive change. Join me and my fearless colleague Nisha Sankaran as we venture once again into the unchartered territory of Vedic Astrology Mythology.
Nisha Sankaran entered the world at the beginning of the year and the end of the zodiac, and overtime she has come to love the point at which the poles meet, where beginning meets end, in the mystery of that hazy dawn. She is a fan of the liminal, connection, healing, creativity and self-empowerment and knows that every human is boundless potential coming from the Loving Power that made us all.

The Vedic Astrology Podcast - Luck, Strife and How to Calculate the Auspicious Punya Saham

Text me your thoughts about this epidode ...

In this enlightening episode, we dive deep into the intricate world of Varshaphal in Vedic Astrology, exploring the complexities of Luck, Strife, and the unique calculation of the Auspicious Punya Saham. Using the case study of Sam Bankman Fried (recently found guilty of billions of dollars of crypo trading fraud), I'll illustrates how Sahams, specific sensitive points in the astrological chart, can elucidate significant personal narratives. Listen in to learn more about Varshaphal, commonly known as Solar Returns in Vedic Astrology, and how to read and interpret these fascinating elements in your own astrological chart.
And if you want to dig deeper into Varshaphal, I recommend Laura Barat's excellent Varshaphal course and you can also come to AstroliJam on Nov 30, 2023 and even complete your own Varshaphal "Solar-Word-of-the-Year" Workbook from fionamarques.com/shop or by booking time with me.

How do you use Lajjitaadi Avasthas when predicting? This is what we explore in the episode through the lens of "The Voice" Referendum taking place in Australia on the annular solar eclipse this 14 October 2023. We'll examine Mercury starving Jupiter, mutual Sun and Saturn starvation and agitation, the shaming of Mercury and Jupiter, plus Spiral Dynamics, whether one should call a Referendum on an eclipse?!?! and how Jupiter and the placenta can offer us a vision for humanity as it strives to heal its colonial past.

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.
