Vedic Astrology horoscope July 2020 Based on Jyotish (sidereal zodiac), the sister science of yoga. Schedule a reading at http://www.quietmindastrology.com Take the Astrology 101 course at http://www.quietmindastrology.com Listen on all podcast platforms at http://www.quietmind.yoga/podcasts Watch on Youtube at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lAbUvRZ3oR0&feature=youtu.be In Vedic Astrology every aspect has a potentially postiive, negative or neutral expression. For example, this month's Sun in Cancer can bring out more of your caring and compassionate qualities. It can also make your emotions volatile and reactive. Mercury in Gemini can bring out more creative, inventive and inspiring ideas. It can also make you argumentative. In this horoscope I give an overview of 2020 so far astrologically, share 6 significant transits this month and suggest practices and actions you can take to best navigate these energies. I also share a powerful new moon ritual that I have done over the years and found incredibly helpful for processing the intense energy of the 3 eclipses of June & July. This month I share about:  Jupiter in Sagittarius Full Moon / Eclipse in Sagittarius Mercury Retrograde ends and Mercury in Gemini Sun in Cancer New Moon in Cancer Venus in Gemini Have a topic you'd like to learn more about Vedic Astrology? Message me on Instagram @Jeremy.quietmind Thanks for listening and have a great month! Jeremy Devens, Quietmind Astrology

The astrology book that I have referenced the most is “Beneath a Vedic Sky.” If you want one of the best resources to learn Vedic astrology, this book is near the top of my list. One of the most valuable parts of the book is that it shows possible favorable and unfavorable expressions of nearly every placement you can have in a chart. It addresses all of the signs, planets, and houses. The only thing that it doesn't address, and no book or resources could address, is how to read your whole chart holistically. If you want to do that schedule a reading with me at http://www.quietmind.yoga/astrology. In this episode I will share all of the most helpful things that I found in this book, and why I recommend it as an essential resource for learning Vedic Astrology.

Watch this episode on YouTube here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zhTrVpMkXbw How will Mercury Retrograde effect you? Schedule a reading at http://www.quietmind.yoga/astrology Three or four times a year the planet Mercury appears to be moving backwards as we see it from Earth. This is known as mercury retrograde. Astrologically Mercury represents communication, business, in the element of air. Like the moon affects the tides on the earth, other planets affect other energies that are more subtle. When Mercury is retrograde it is not the best time for starting completely new projects. Often you may need to review, revise, and rewrite things many times during the retrograde. You can ameliorate these negative facts by doing pranayama practices. One of the most powerful pranayama techniques to manage the air element in your body, breathe easier, and clear your mind is alternate nostril breathing. In this episode, I will guide you through breathing through one nostril at a time, then into alternate nostril breathing. This is also known as Nadi Shodhana or “channel cleansing breath.”

One of the questions I get asked the most is "what are some of the best resources to learn Vedic Astrology?" - Today I'm starting a new series where I will share some of my favorite resources so you can deepen your learning of Vedic Astrology.  I'm starting with one of my favorite and one of the best books I've found on Vedic Astrology and THE best book I've found that integrates yoga, meditation, ayurveda and astrology together as it was traditionally taught in India.  Schedule a 1-1 reading: http://www.quietmind.yoga/astrology Buy "Astrology Yoga" here: https://amzn.to/2YmOWkK Watch and subscribe on YouTube at https://youtu.be/1PduOHFtxBg Thanks for listening!

Today continues our 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. This series will help you understand the ruling 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 hora’s 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, based on the speed of the planets, as perceived from earth: Moon Mercury Venus Sun Mars Jupiter Saturn Today I will share all about the Jupiter hora What activities are favorable during this time? What activities are not favorable during this time? What is the mantra for this time? Want to practice yoga and meditation with me?

What activities are favorable during this hora? What activités are not favorable during this hora? What is the mantra for this hora? BONUS PRACTICE: I didn't mention this in the podcast, but one of my favorite Venus Hora activities is writing "desire inventory" - Take a blank piece of paper and write down "I want ______" and fill in the blank. Fill up a whole page of desires like this, without any filter. You don't need to know how or why, just write from your heart. Sometimes desire is illogical or irrational! The goal is not to make a to-do list and check everything off, but to connect to your Venusian energy of desire and stay in touch with what brings you pleasure and fulfillment.  Thank you to listener Anthony Louis who shared a great post on the order of the planetary hours at https://www.renaissanceastrology.com/planetaryhoursarticle.html?fbclid=IwAR2sJWAde5zQi-zx-5vqKwS9EbiRWHsmNm1iZlE4YZcfz6TylYysQq3b_hk If you enjoy this podcast, check out the new Quietmind Yoga Membership where I share weekly yoga classes and mini workshops on Yoga, Ayurveda & Vedic Astrology.
