Quietmind Astrology — Learn Vedic Astrology With Jeremy Devens

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

In this episode I share yogic and astroligical perspectives on everything happening in the world right now. There are only so many things we can directly control, and the most important thing we can influence right now is what we choose to focus on. I will share one of my favorite and most helpful Buddhist phrases as well as the big picture astorlogical perspective we can come back to when the negative aspects of Saturn in Capricorn and Rahu in Ardra manifest. Schedule a reading at http://www.quietmind.yoga/astrologyJoin my free live Zoom Yoga class this Sunday at 9:30AM CST at http://facebook.com/groups/quietmindcommunity/

Best of all, It requires zero training and it’s super simple and fun to use. It’s part of a free app called Align27. I am not sponsored by them, I just love this app and wish it existed when I started learning astrology!I will show you step by step how to use this app to manage your energy throughout the day. Do you ever have moments where you feel the energy has just “shifted”? Do you ever feel full of energy some times, and depleted other times? This app factors in several Vedic Astrology calculations that have been used for thousands of years to give you a detailed graph for your energy throughout the day.It shows whether the overall day is a Green, Amber or Red day. It shows your most productive times, “golden moments,” and “silent moments.”The most interesting thing for me is when I DON’T think about the app, then use it to reflect on my day. I have experimented with this for the past 3 months and found it to be incredibly accurate and helpful. I’ll share how you can use this app to manage your energy and plan your day too!If you want to see the visuals for this episode, watch this on my YouTube channel here.If you enjoy this podcast leave a review, subscribe on youtube and share with a friend.Thank you for listening!Jeremy

I hope you and your loved ones are staying safe. This is an uncertain time for many people, and I was curious what I could learn about this pandemic by comparing it to previous ones. I looked up 9 pandemics / epidemics of the past to see what similarities I could see. I was surprised to find one very obvious correlation. I'll share all about that in today's episode. This episode is sponsored by my free workshop: 3 Mindset Shifts to Build Confidence in Teaching Yoga. This is ending soon so you can check it out or get on the waiting list by clicking here. Be well!Jeremy

Almost everybody I know who gets into astrologer wants to better understand themselves.

Can you be your own astrologer? In this episode I'll share 4 approaches I've found most helpful.  Have a teacher or guidance Know the major aspects of your chart Follow the major transits and retrogrades Also - Check out the Align27 app for personalized mini-readings - I'm not affiliated with them, but I've been impressed by their app. Free upcoming workshop: 3 Mindset Shifts to Build Confidence in Teaching Yoga: http://www.quietmind.yoga/confidence Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jeremydevensInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/jeremy.quietmind.yoga/Website: http://www.quietmind.yoga/astrology

Today I'm grateful to interview Carol Allen about what she calls "The 5 Critical Keys to Love" - and it's all based on Vedic Astrology! Here is a little bit about Carol: "When I was twenty-three, a session with an astrologer changed my life. He predicted I’d become a counselor or teacher of some kind, and that I wouldn’t (and couldn’t) get married until I turned thirty. I was so impressed by his insights that I started studying with him, and was soon giving readings as well, in the process making his first prediction come true. And I quickly figured out two amazing things: 1. All anyone wants is love. (With career and money being a distant second – but only so they can get more love.) 2. Even the most otherwise successful, wonderful people typically have no clue how to succeed at relationships. But they desperately want to. (Refer to #1 again) But after a couple of years of doing readings and presenting this oh-so-accurate and in-depth wisdom to hundreds of women of all walks of life, I noticed some surprising things: as amazing as astrology was, much of what I’d always read and heard about it wasn’t true (discovering, for example, that Sun signs aren’t all that important in love, and that most of us aren’t even the sign we think we are). And, even more amazing, – astrology was not enough. Here’s what I mean: a woman would come to me wanting to know about her compatibility with a man. And it would be just perfect. But then she’d tell me they were miserable. Then another woman would come wanting to know about her man, and their compatibility would be just “so-so” and yet, she’d report that they were very happy. In a nutshell I realized there are actually FIVE critical keys to love. And only ONE of them is compatibility. But they’re all critical. So if a couple is missing any of them (even if they feel they have a soulmate, “wow” kind of connection) they won’t be able to reach “happily ever after.” Once I discovered the five critical keys, I was able to help my clients – and myself – like never before. You see, one of the keys has nothing to do with the stars – it has to do with YOU. It’s having good relationship skills. When I figured that out (and that mine were sorely lacking, and were to blame for my amazing, “perfect match” boyfriend heading off into the sunset without me) I went on a quest to learn all I could about relationships." Today Carol will share these 5 critical keys!

Get the free guide "Learn Your TRUE Sun Sign" at http://www.quietmind.yoga/sunsignIn today's episode, I talk about what distinguishes Vedic Astrology from Western Astrology. You likely know your 'sun sign,' but where does that come from? Did you know it's NOT actually based on where the sun was when you were born, but where the sun was 2000 years ago? That was = when Babylonian astrologers created this system - but didn't know about the precession of the equinoxes - Vedic Astrologers DID know, and their calculations are still very close to those of modern astronomy - despite being a 3000+ year old system.You may be happy to learn that many aspects of Vedic Astrology stay the same. This lesson covers the sort of 'Vedic Astrology 101' topics like signs, planets, houses and some of the things unique to Vedic Astrology like the Dasha system and the Nakshatras - which are not just 12 divisions of the sky, but 108! Allowing for far more precise readings. I'll also say a bit about why Vedic Astrology is known as "Jyotish" or "the science of light" and how that can help us understand ourselves and each other.Want to watch this on YouTube?
