October opened up with a Solar Eclipse, New Moon and a parade of planets in Virgo, the earthly sign of organization and analytics. This alignment invites us to become diligent explorers of our inner worlds. As the tensions of the Eclipse Corridor begin to ease, we may experience a momentary sense of relief; however, this is unlikely to last.
The challenge is that the easier part of the year is already behind us, and the remainder holds numerous opportunities for growth and expansion. Not all of this expansion will feel comfortable, as our minds, bodies, and spirits are particularly sensitive during this time. The silver lining is that by focusing on the right areas for growth through the end of the year, we can significantly ease our journey and minimize unnecessary suffering.
October 9th
A significant shift for the coming months begins with Jupiter entering retrograde in Taurus on October 9th, lasting until February 4th. This transition directs the Guru’s attention inward. The effects of retrograde planets often intensify, and for Jupiter in Taurus, this may lead to an expansion of material resources and a purification of both physical and spiritual aspects, whether we are prepared for it or not.
Taurus, as the second sign in the abstract zodiac, governs various areas of life, including our ancestral connections, communication, financial accumulation, nutrition, and second marriages.
If Jupiter, known as Guru, is well-placed in the natal chart, this period can be a powerful opportunity for manifestation, particularly when approached with intention. Conversely, if Jupiter is poorly positioned, it may lead to increased stubbornness, rigidity, heightened criticism, financial difficulties, and issues with overeating.
As Jupiter traverses the zodiac, he encourages learning and growth in every area he comes into contact with. He does not tolerate impurity, prompting us to cleanse and release all that no longer serves our highest good.
Focusing on our ancestral roots and honoring those who came before us will continue to facilitate our healing journey. You may experience dreams or receive signs from departed relatives, or perhaps feel a sense of nostalgia as you reminisce about childhood memories. These are all indications that your ancestors are seeking your support.
While there are many free resources available online on this topic, if you feel that a more profound practice for honoring your ancestors would be beneficial, please reach out to me. I have a special tool designed for this purpose.
October 10th
Mercury will transition into Libra on October 10th, remaining there until the end of the month. This is an excellent opportunity for outings with friends, visiting museums, exploring art galleries, attending theatrical performances, and engaging in new learning experiences. This period will help to alleviate and balance the heaviness brought on by some of the other planetary placements. Afterward, Mercury will move into Scorpio, but that is a topic for another time.
October 12th
On October 12th, Venus will transition from her harmonious position in Libra to the more intense realm of Scorpio. In the abstract horoscope, Scorpio is associated with mystery, the hidden, sexuality, and intrigue. Coupled with a weakened Mars, the ruler of Scorpio, this shift may manifest as heightened intensity and turbulence in romantic relationships. You might experience extreme fluctuations in sexual desire—either too much or too little—as well as feelings of jealousy, vengefulness, and the urge to divide earthly possessions and responsibilities into “yours” and “mine.”
Picture a boiling volcano erupting in the realm of love, where the antidote to these challenges is the essence of Beauty. Embrace activities that inspire creativity, such as arts and crafts, music, dancing, and, importantly, remain loyal and faithful to your partner.
October 17th
The Sun, still recovering from the recent eclipse, is currently in Virgo. In this position, combined with Ketu, it struggles to shine with its usual confidence and optimism, which can dim our sense of self-worth and heighten uncertainties regarding our relationships with our fathers and our societal status. During this time, it’s beneficial to spend time in nature and focus on organizing and decluttering our homes, minds, and bodies.
On October 17th, the Sun will move into Libra for a month, a sign of its debilitation. This may manifest as fluctuations in health, diminished faith in our abilities, lowered self-esteem, increased selfishness, and heightened sensitivity to the words and actions of others. Our immunity and life force may also weaken, so it’s important to take proactive measures to support these areas. If you have the chance to travel to a sunny location, this is an ideal time for it. Additionally, considering a supplement or vitamin regimen may help boost your immunity.
October 20th
As October closes out, Mars, the warrior planet of might, strength and will power, will enter its debilitation sign, Cancer. This marks the start of an unusually extended transit for Mars through its most vulnerable area of the sky. Normally, Mars transits last around two months. However, in the coming months, Mars will move through Cancer, retrograde back into Gemini, and then return to Cancer again. This entire process will span over seven months.
Understanding the placement of Cancer in your chart will be essential for grasping how Mars will impact your body and life over the next seven months.
During this prolonged period, our energy levels may feel inadequate for much beyond lounging on the couch. However, it is crucial to find ways to release built-up tension. Engaging in activities such as running, dancing, biking, walking, swimming, or strength training—anything that gets our blood pumping and encourages sweating—can be immensely beneficial.
When Mars is imbalanced, it can lead to conflicts and outbreaks of violence, anger, and aggression. Additionally, Mars governs surgeries, cuts, fires, and sudden trauma; thus, when its energy is disrupted, any of these incidents may arise. It is advisable to channel our efforts into releasing this energy through sports and physical activities.
Ongoing
Saturn continues his retrograde movement through Aquarius until November 15th. More on this transit here. As of right now, he has moved back into Satabhisha nakshatra, which calls for great healing efforts. You’ll begin to notice things that weren’t visible to you before. While this clarity can be painful, it’s essential for the healing journey.
While retrograded in Aquarius, Saturn is prompting a need for balance and integration in areas that have been out of sync. It demands order, simplicity, and discipline, and will not tolerate excess. To align with Natural Law, it’s important to heed Saturn’s call for structure and simplicity, which can help prevent suffering.
To Sum Up
This fall promises to be eventful, though not all experiences will be pleasant. However, they will provide exactly what humanity needs. Following the methods of harmonization mentioned earlier will help ease these transits. Approaching our lives with the mindful understanding that everything happens for our benefit will also be beneficial.
Recurring situations will bring our weaknesses to light, allowing us to heal and transform into better versions of ourselves. Challenging planetary placements serve to highlight areas for improvement that we might overlook in more stable times, urging us to break free from complacency and embrace transformation and an upgrade to our reality.

If you are wondering what the heck is going on, why things feel so heavy, especially in partner relations and how to alleviate some of it, this article is definitely worth your read! As you might have noticed, there has been an energetic shift as the summer has started its transition into fall. Nights are getting longer and the sun is feeling cooler on the skin. The energies are also shifting in the sky, preparing us for an eventful fall with lots of opportunities to learn and grow.
When challenging placements happen in the skies – and they do so regularly – it’s definitely a great opportunity for increased self-awareness and self-work. It’s our chance to demonstrate that we understand and have learnt our lesson. Pay extra close attention to situations that seem repetitive. They will continue happening until we have gained all the insights that we are meant to gain out of these experiences. And the month of September is definitely promising to be full of such experiences.
First, let’s look at the bright side of things. Sun and Mercury are in Leo until the middle of the month, which is going to inspire us to want to come out and shine into the world! This transit will also help us resolve important matters in an elegant and high-class manner. Beautiful time to be out and about and adding some dates at a theater with your partner or friends will serve everyone good as the month of September continues to unfold.
Sun enters Virgo on the 16th of September, not his most favorite sign to be in. The following month might present us with weakened immune systems and is a great opportunity to take a round of immunity strengthening supplements or a course of vitamins.
Mercury will transition into Virgo on September 23d, a sign of his strength, making it a fantastic time to learn something new. Taking a training or masterclass of interest would be very fitting and productive.
Jupiter continues his peaceful journey in a friendly sign of Taurus, bringing us blessings of abundance and prosperity as well as increased spirituality and meeting the right guides and mentors. I wrote more about this transit here.
Mars is spending all September in Gemini, activating spheres of communications, short trips, constant movement and sports events (hello sports parents!). Not a bad placement all-in-all.
Second part of September is not looking as bright, but is guaranteed to be profound.
Firstly, let’s not forget that Saturn is still riddling us with fears, uncertainties, heavy moods and rigidity with his retro movement in Aquarius, that started on June 29th, and will last until November 15th. I wrote more in detail about this transit here. The most important thing by far that all of us can focus on during this time is learning to surrender to the natural flow of things without trying to overly control everything or hold on too tightly to what we think should happen.
Also, one of the best activities to harmonize the pressures of Saturn is spending time in nature, which is like hitting the reset button for your soul – it’s where you find clarity in the chaos and serenity in the hustle. Just remember, whatever is happening in our lives – is happening as a result of seeds that we have sown. Right now is an excellent time to re-evaluate the quality of seeds that we are sowing currently, because they too shall sprout one day.
In Natal Chart, depending on the house, where Aquarius is positioned, Saturn in this transit will ask you to revisit your thinking and approaches in the corresponding life area. What is hiding deep down? What programs are your reaction patterns running on? How much of what goes inside of you do you notice and how much of it goes unnoticed? Saturn will keep asking. If we don’t start hearing and answering, the ask will become louder and more urgent and might show up in a form of unpleasant situations, delays, feelings of stagnation, depression and/or anxiety. Of course, the severity of lessons will always depend on individual karma, lessons already learnt and progress in conscious evolution.
If you would like to better understand which area of your life this transit is impacting and how to better harmonize it, book a natal chart consultation or a follow-up session with me here.

In addition to Saturn retro, Venus is transiting the sign of Virgo right now, where she is extremely weak and unhappy. Virgo being the sign of analytics, precision and practical calculations is too constrictive for the artsy and beauty loving Venus, the planet of love. This might show up as heaviness in partner relations, especially romantic. The best way to alleviate it is to dedicate some time to arts and crafts of all kinds. Anything having to do with beauty, design, renovations, decorations is welcome. Word of caution though – nothing permanent! In other words, it is not a great time for drastic changes that are irreversible, otherwise there is could be regret.
To complicate things further, we are expected to have a Lunar eclipse on September 17th followed by a Solar Eclipse on October 2d. The period between these eclipses form a portal of a sort, known as corridor of eclipses, and will ask us to be extra diligent with our thoughts, words and actions. An excellent time to do introspective work and notice anything that will be coming up, especially if it is something that repeats itself in our lives.
Eclipses are felt a few days before and a few days after the actual celestial events, making the upcoming month an excellent time to de-clutter the space around us, detox the body and take inventory of feelings and emotions, while remembering that our reaction is EVERYTHING and we always chose how to react, whatever the situation.
The corridor of eclipses can feel rather intense, just know that everything is temporary and this too shall pass. Let me know in the comments if more information on the eclipses is needed.
Also, if you have not done so already, check out my telegram channel, where I share audio and video updates on astro events, my personal journey and various practices and meditations in an informal live format. Just follow the link prompts above. See you there!
Sending each and every one of you lots of love and light!

The slowest moving planet considered in Vedic Astrology, Saturn, is slowing and starting to reverse his movement in his own sign of Aquarius, on June 29th, 2024 and until November 15th, 2024. Basically, all the lessons we were trying to learn in the end of 2023 and the beginning of 2024 will be presented again to us in the next 4.5 months, checking in where more work might be required in order for us to keep thriving along our life’s path.
Saturn, being the planet that is responsible for old age, order and structure as well as time itself, tends to slow things down when it goes retrograde, giving us a chance to re-think and re-process things fully. The next 4.5 months is not the time to run away from the shadows, responsibilities and duties, at work, at home, within your own self & body.. Instead, it is time to dig in, do the work, be serious and present, all the while remembering that the body stores the tension.
When we are aligned with Saturn and his wisdom, life if smooth and easy, everything happens in the flow. However, when there is an imbalance with this energy, life is tough and hard, ridden with obstacles, harsh lessons and dis-ease, figuratively and literally.
The next few months can prove to be rather tense, especially if one is not equipped with the tools of grounding and rooting, necessary to harmonize the period of weakened support from Saturn.
Spending time in nature, all kinds of body work, meditation, quiet listening, favorite hobbies, serving others, especially elderly – are all excellent points of focus when the going gets tough and to prevent it from doing so.
By the way, I distinguish between active and passive forms of body work. Examples of active body work are all the forms of exercise where we exert energy, such as running, walking, yoga, dancing, general fitness, trampoline jumps, etc, while passive body work treatments are delivered through a specialist, such as masseuse giving you a massage, cranio-sacral therapist rebalancing the flow of the cranio-sacral fluid in your body, or reiki guide helping you balance and restore your energetic resources.
This temporary moment of seeming stagnation, associated with Saturn retrograde can really assert a great amount of pressure, if one does not regularly release it, so both forms of body work are going to be needed more than ever in the upcoming months.
Saturn helps us ripen. When we embrace his guidance, it helps us grow better with age. When we resist his slow, methodical ways, suffering, pain and grief increase.
Saturn likes consistency. He wants us to be in tune with the cycles and rhythms of nature and the cosmos- not man made cycles and rhythms.
How will you know Saturn is asking you to re-evaluate your actions? You will feel a pinch, some unpleasant situation, anxiety, depression or grief.
A retrograde planet has innovation to offer and wants you to try something new. Pay attention and make the necessary adjustments before you are forced to.
More ways on how to harmonize Saturn can be found here.
Even more information and how to harmonize all 7 planetary energies considered in Vedic Astrology can be found in my month long training “Astro Week.” DM for details.
Are you feeling the slow down? What strategies are you planning to implement?
Did you know that there is an auspicious day each year that is known for its astrological strength and limitless potential to help us with our dreams and goals? Said to aid and support any endeavor started on this day, and known as the celebration of Akshaya Tritiya in Vedic traditions, it is the day, when both, the Sun and the Moon are the strongest in the signs of their exaltation, Aries and Taurus respectively. In 2024, this day falls on May 10th. Whatever you decide to put your mind to today, will yield fruitful results, so it is mega important to spend it consciously, with great awareness of our thoughts and actions.
Any sort of planning, goal setting, laying out framework and structuring future projects, meditating and visualizing the best version of our future will receive tremendous support from the skies, so don’t miss this opportunity to create your desired reality that only comes around once a year.
In the last few years, there have been additional positions in the sky, that were dimming the effect of strong Sun and Moon, but not this year. Even Mercury, who has been on a bumpy road pretty much all of spring, is finally starting his direct movement today and is no longer weakened by its retrograde movement.
Personally, in addition to my usual Friday beauty to-dos, I am planning to put together my vision board for the upcoming year today 1-3pm EST. If you have some magazines, colorful markers and a square canvas, you are welcome to join in for a free Zoom Vision Board Masterclass during this time, where I will share the system that I use for putting together my Vision Boards, based on the lay out of the houses in our natal charts. I will also share some of the basic rules for goal setting, that are important to keep in mind, if we want our dreams to come to fruition.
Reach out to me directly or let me know in the comments below if you are interested in attending the Vision Board Masterclass and I will send a Zoom invite 15 minutes prior to the start. Hope to see you there! And if you cannot make it, hope you get to spend good quality time with you dreams and goals today anyways, so that they may become true in your reality for the highest purpose of everyone involved!

Jupiter, known in Vedic astrology as the Guru, a planet representing wisdom, knowledge, spirituality and finances, has transitioned out of Aries and into Taurus. While he is still gaining strength in his new home for the next year, we already might have felt the changes in affairs pertaining to finances, family relations and partnerships. Very likely, these changes might have showed up in a form of an ask to let go, empty out and release. Has anything come up in the last few weeks that is fitting into this description? It certainly has for me! Want to know what else to expect from this transit? If so, read on.
The reason why this transit is so important and meaningful is two-fold. First of all, this is one of the longer transits in the sky, with Jupiter remaining in his new home until May 2025. Because of the longer time spent focusing on one corresponding area of our lives, we tend to feel longer transits more acutely. Secondly, Jupiter is a teacher, responsible for ensuring that we are living our soul’s purpose, and dishing out lessons when we are not (albeit not as harshly as our other karmic teachers, Saturn and Ketu). In other words, Jupiter in Taurus can be a great ally in transitioning to the next level in a kind, loving way. But our ability to achieve a positive outcome will directly be tied to our willingness to open up and do the necessary work during this cycle.
Jupiter’s energy is expansive and generous, and combined with luxurious and earthly inclinations of Taurus, this is a wonderful transit that will bring growth and material expansion in all areas where this energy is present. Of course, the specifics will depend on our individual natal charts and planetary placements at the time of our birth, which are all unique. But rest assured, the next 12 months will present lots of opportunities for growth and realignment with our divine purpose. Again, only if our hearts are open enough to recognize them and only if we are not scared of the work that lies ahead.
Despite Jupiter’s transit in Taurus being possibly one of the best transits out there, there are still potential negative ways how it may play out. In other words, this year can be about delightful expansion, when our relationship with both natal and transit Jupiter is in harmony, or painful enlargement, when it is not. Either way, something will be expanding, whether it will be income, luxuries and abundance OR expenses, conflicts and weight gain – is up to us.
Even if we are not looking to actively grow (there are those times too, and its ok), but know how to best ‘sweeten’ our relationship with Jupiter’s energy, this transit will definitely have the potential to go much smoother and more harmoniously. I share some of the methods below, but go into much greater detail in my one-on-one sessions, as well as my flagship course “Astro Week.”
While we cannot change the position of our natal Jupiter (karma), we do always have an influence over our Jupiter in transit; our individual behaviors, reactions to arising situations and inner motivations being the determining factors. How we act during this transit will not only dictate the results of the next 12 months, but will also sow karmic seeds for the future years and even lifetimes.
Since Jupiter concerns himself with the issues of morality and ethics, the below behaviors are rewarded:
- gratefulness,
- good judgement,
- loyalty,
- faithfulness,
- respectful communications and actions,
- spirituality,
- conscious upbringing of our children,
- orderly financial affairs,
- agility in exchanging opinions and ability to see another’s perspective,
- charitable, unconditional giving.
Jupiter’s rewards come in a form of financial abundance, harmonious relationships within our family and access to wise mentors and guides, who teach us how to make our lives and those around us even better. More importantly, a person with good Jupiter has a very good understanding of morality and cause-and-effect rule, adhering to the principle of ‘what I plant today will sprout and give fruit tomorrow.’
What Jupiter doesn’t tolerate, and it is guaranteed to show up in a form of financial troubles, is criticism and judgement of anybody, including ourselves, but especially our partners, leadership and governments. When Jupiter’s energy is out of balance, a person might think that everything is really expensive, and will be hesitant to share anything with the rest of the world, including money, time and knowledge. There will always be a sense of lack and a heavy veil of illusionary perspective that ‘I know it all.’
If you delay doing charitable contributions or feel that having children would be more suitable when the times are better – you might want to explore your relationship with this planet a bit more closely. But don’t take my word for it, see for yourself – once you start working in this direction, your money is sure to give you positive feedback shortly afterwards.
So, having said all of this, what can we do during this transit that would help us learn our lessons in the gentlest, most loving way? I would definitely recommend starting with the inventory of all charitable donations that we are making; and see where we can either increase amounts or maybe explore additional avenues for giving. Additionally, Taurus is an earthly sign that likes luxury and represents financial accumulation in abstract horoscope. This is why it is also a wonderful time for investments into something tangible, especially precious jewelry, home remodeling, commodities such as gold and silver, etc.
To sum up, there is an expansion of material world success coming, but only if we make space for it. What do we need to let go of right now, in order to welcome that next level into our reality? What thinking patterns need to go, so that we may honor our divine purpose boldly and unapologetically? Where are we being greedy with a resource that is available to us but we are not willing to share with others? What can we do to clear thinking programs that are based on lack and fear? And finally, how can we upgrade our actions and choices today in order to get new, more life supporting results tomorrow?
My this Jupiter bring us all nothing but the most positive transformations, but, arguably, all transformations are always positive. It’s just a matter of perspective 😉

Jupiter just entered the sign of Taurus, where he will spend the next 12 months, impacting areas of wealth, nutrition, dharma, spirituality and personal growth. This is a major transit that has a lot of great potential, if one knows how to activate it and send it in the right direction. In honor of this significant planetary shift, I invite you to a Live Zoom Interactive Workshop, free of charge, Thursday, May 2d @9:30am EST.
During the workshop, we will discuss what to expect for the next 12 months, while Jupiter transits the sign of Taurus in areas, for which this planet, otherwise known as Guru, is responsible – such as wisdom, knowledge, marital affairs, finances, etc. We will also talk about what to focus on, in order to maximize the beneficial impact of this transit, while minimizing the potential negative outcomes.
Additionally, all participants will get an individual reading and a tailored explanation of what area of life might be impacted by this transit, based on their personal chart and how to best harmonize it.
If you are interested in participating, leave a comment below or reach out to me directly and I will send you the Zoom invite 15 minutes prior to the start of the workshop.
Hope to see you there!

Now, that the corridor of eclipses is behind us, the spring energy is shifting and most areas will start feeling lighter and brighter, especially if we managed to release and let go of things that no longer served us during this last period of cleansing.
With Sun entering his own sign of Aries on April 13th, where he will remain until May 14th, we are going to feel an increased amount of energy to accomplish everything we set our minds to. Especially when it comes to finances and financial goals. But only if we honor and adhere to the laws of karma and balance, understanding that what goes around – comes back around. So share and give back to the world generously, especially your smile and positivity. Shine bright not only for yourself, but also for others.
Venus is exalting in Pisces until April 24th, bringing about the feeling of dreamy love and bouts of inspired creativity. It’s this time of the year, when love happens all around, with nature waking up from its winter slumber, spreading butterflies in our tummies. Right now is an excellent time to take up that project, spend time on your favorite hobby, dance, sing, create, get inspired. Walks in nature are especially healing and are vibrating with this love energy. Observe it, honor it, soak it in.
Mars continues his journey through Aquarius, alongside Saturn, until April 22d. This has been a rather heavy, destructive combination; and it will not ease much, when Mars enters a sign of his debilitation, Pisces, until the beginning of June. Best thing to do in April and May is to faithfully allow this energy to pass through ecologically, so that it doesn’t grow into conflicts, disease and/or trauma. In other words, EXERCISE, EXERCISE, EXERCISE!! Once Mars is in Pisces, we might want to come up with gazillions of excuses why we shouldn’t work out or how the schedule doesn’t align, or how there is no time, but we must remain diligent. This is a test.
Possibly, the best news of this spring, besides Venus in Pisces, is Jupiter entering Taurus on May 1, where he will remain for a whole year, bringing the energy of abundance, luxury and comfort, especially if Jupiter is strong in one’s natal chart. Big transits, like this one, are worthy of their own post, so stay tuned!
Saturn continues his transit through his own sign of Aquarius, where he is tiding up and making sure that we stay true to our paths and working earnestly to share our talents with the world; dishing out lessons if/when we are not.
Mercury just entered the sign of Pisces, an unfriendly territory for this bubbly energy as is; plus half the time here will be spent in retrograde. Mercury, responsible for communications, technologies, negotiations, sales cycles and financial transactions, feels annoyed that things are not moving as fast as he wants them to. Additionally, influenced by the dark, illusory energy of Rahu, who is also hanging out in this constellation, words might be said, that we don’t mean and/or the temptation to lie, cheat, conceal, ‘decorate’ the truth, etc, might surface, putting a strain on both professional and personal relationships. Needless to say, don’t give in 🙂 and be patient! This too shall pass and this too is a test.
Last, but not least, Rahu & Ketu continue their transits through Pisces and Virgo respectively, asking us to zoom out, open our hearts, see the bigger picture and not get bogged down with the details. We are about 6 months into this transit, with another year to go, making this one of the longer and more meaningful transits. Of course, the placement of these shadow nodes in your natal chart will dictate the area, where their teachings will occur. But a general question that everyone can ask themselves right now is: “Where am I settling or resisting transformation?” Carefully listen and allow your inner wisdom to guide you, knowing that you have full support of your ancestors, who always want you to succeed, regardless of what your relationship looks like (or might have looked like) on Earth.
As you can see in the chart below, majority of energy is gathered in Aquarius, Pisces and Aries. If any of these signs are your Rising or Moon Signs, then the current transits are taking place in the ‘head’ of your chart and will impact you stronger than the rest of the people.
If you need extra clarity, support and/or understanding of how these transits might be impacting you directly and how to best harmonize them, I offer individual consultations. You can find more details on my Services page. ***Be advised, the pricing increases with the launch of the new website, that has been in development since December and is almost ready.
Talk soon and enjoy your spring!

As we find ourselves right past the middle of the spring corridor of eclipses, most of us probably have already felt the emotional roller coaster to a certain degree that usually accompanies this demanding two-week astro period. Full Solar Eclipse is expected to occur on April 8th, which will close out this year’s spring corridor, with aftershocks still rippling for a few days afterwards. Hang tight! We are more than half-way there!
Sometimes, corridor of eclipses brings about situations or people, often from the past, that are meant to test us and our level of self-awareness. A clear tell-tell sign that you are being tested is when something unpleasant or challenging comes up, for example, friction at work (being fired, dealing with a mean boss/co-worker/client, etc.), money issues, souring relationships, illness, accident or any other kind of difficulty that doesn’t feel ‘good.’
Uncomfortable situations are designed so that a person wouldn’t complacently stay in them for too long. The harder the pressure – the more motivation one feels to end it. When we have the right amount of motivation to no longer settle for status quo, we tend to change our thinking patterns, which in turn changes the external reality, letting the Universe know that we have successfully passed this lesson. Or we turn our attention further away from the issue and go deeper into degradation. The choice is ours and corridors of eclipses are here to force the issue.
Despite the tension that comes along with corridors of eclipses (and they usually happen twice a year), these fateful ‘check ins’ are extremely important to our personal growth and evolution of our soul. Very much like the formation of a diamond, it is through friction that most of us learn to develop and grow as a personality.
A few things to note around these cycles:
- The more we refuse to follow our life’s calling, the harsher the tests and lessons are. While this is always true, corridor of eclipses accentuates this rule.
- Taking a moment before reacting is EVERYTHING. Taking a pause and considering another perspective sometimes can mean the difference between a conflict and a burnt bridge or a lesson successfully learnt.
- It’s best not to observe the eclipses directly or wear a head covering, if you must be outside that day. According to Vedic astrology, the energy of the planet that is being eclipsed weakens with the shadow of an eclipse. And when we watch it happening, it’s as if we are absorbing the shadows, which dim our inner light and energy.
- Cleaning out stagnant spaces is the best way to focus one’s energy during the corridor of eclipses. Resetting our bodies, cleaning out homes and closets, removing anything that no longer serves us, including information from our phones and news sources. Great time for spring cleaning.
- IMPORTANT: It is recommended to avoid making life-altering decisions until after the corridor closes. Do address whatever is incoming, but this is not a good time to actively change careers, homes, looks, partners, etc.
So yeah, while corridors of eclipses can bring about lots of heavy emotions and confusing uncertainties, they can also help us become the best possible version of ourselves that we can be, if we choose the path towards self-discovery and follow our life’s calling. If you are unsure of what your life calling is or are trying to better understand what to focus on in life to make the going easier, I encourage you to sign up for a Natal Chart reading, AFTER the corridor of eclipses, of course 🙂
The more aware a person is, the easier it is to go though challenging times in general, especially noticeable during the corridor of eclipses. So, if things have been truthfully feeling normal in your reality these past couple of weeks without anything too heavy, congratulations – this is a direct reflection of the level of your soul’s awareness and the amount of self-work done in the past.
And for those of you, who are not feeling as easy, remember that even the most troublesome times can produce the peace that far outweighs the trials you endure. Everything is a choice.

Welcome to the season of renewal, rejuvenation, and blossoming beauty – Spring! As nature awakens from its winter slumber, the world transforms into a canvas painted with vibrant colors, melodious bird songs, and the sweet scent of blooming flowers. This spring, according to Vedic astrology, is marked by significant celestial movements and alignments that influence individual destinies and collective energies.
To kick things off, the New Moon on March 10th has opened up space that is requesting balance, integration and order. There is a request for collaboration and connection, innovation and thinking outside of the box. Planting plants, brainstorming on creative ideas, trying something new are excellent ways to honor the energy of the waxing moon phases.
If you are like me and have started feeling tension surface up in your relationships, it is because Venus joined Saturn in Aquarius on March 6th, where she will remain until the end of the month. Luckily, Venus’ presence here will ease the explosive dynamic of Saturn and Mars combo, with Mars entering Aquarius on March 15th, where he will remain until April 23d! Anger and irritation at the slow pace of things is likely to surface, so it is important to recalibrate, find balance and peace knowing that everything will happen in its due time. Trust the process. For now, slow and steady wins the race, not the fast and furious.
Mercury continues its debilitated journey through Pisces until March 25, where he is conjunct Rahu – the planet of shadows and illusion. This can be showing up in faulty communications, filled with deception and misunderstanding in negotiations. Mind and money are vulnerable to Rahu’s shadow, so strengthening our inner core and stability is paramount, if we don’t want to get lost in the darkness. Meditation, spending time in nature and working to strengthen the mind will help maintain the very much needed mental clarity and focus.
Right after that, starting April 1st and until April 25th, Mercury will begin its retrograde movement, so don’t expect alignment in communications and technologies until it runs this course.
Today, on March 14th, Sun enters Pisces for the month, joining Rahu and debilitated Mercury, shining new light on the areas of the mental fogginess and the already slow and complicated negotiation processes. Later on, in April and May, as the Sun journeys through Aries and Taurus, it will ignite ambition and stability. But until April 13th the shadow of Rahu is vast and can dim even the Sun itself, seeding doubts of self-worth and adding a sense of insecurity. Mental turmoil will only intensify, if one lets it. Right now is the time to ‘doubt the doubt’ and not give into the illusion. Stick to your inner truth, do the work, and whatever you do – do not avoid facing your fear and grief.
Especially since the next Full Moon will open up the corridor of eclipses, a two week portal that usually happens twice a year. Corridors of eclipses, while tense, bring out our deeply rooted unconscious patterns, allowing us to revisit and correct them, provided that we take the time to notice them. Alternatively, it will just seem like a really tough time, especially if we don’t perceive everything that will unfold with gratitude and understanding that all these experiences are there for us to learn and grow from.
Corridor of eclipses (March 22 – April 11) is not a good time to start new projects, endeavors or relationships, but rather revisit everything that we already have going on and stick to our normal routines and tasks. All important and life-altering decisions should wait until after the Solar eclipse closes this portal of shadows on April 8th, allowing a few days for the ‘aftershock.’ It is not recommended to make any drastic changes as it pertains to looks, relationships, career, etc. But it is a GREAT time for self-exploration, transformation, facing our fears, working through our grief, and acknowledging our shadows.
Emotions tend to be high during the corridor of eclipses, so your good judgement is needed more than ever. Try to avoid conflicts and try to address them with patience and understanding if and when they do arise. Lastly, on this topic, it is not recommended to view eclipses directly, contrary to popular belief. Vedic wisdom suggests that during the time of the actual eclipse the line between the light and dark is at its thinnest and by spending time outside we can absorb the shadows, which is not something we would want. If you must be outside during that time, remember to wear head covering and avoid looking directly at the eclipses.
To brighten things up a bit, let us take a look at the vernal equinox on Tuesday, March 19th. On this day, the Sun is exactly above the Equator and day and night are of equal length. March 19-25 is an excellent time to cleanse and renew, asking for ancestral support and wisdom in achieving our dreams and desires, noticing the rebirth in nature and dedicating a bit of time spent in silence and intense presence with our bodies and souls. Eating light foods, meditation, goal setting and performing our favorite rituals will further support this process of renewal. Personally I am planning to be putting together my new vision board for the year.
Last but not least, the transition of Jupiter into Taurus on May 1st brings about expansion in finances, luxury and comfort, as well as wisdom, mentorship and spirituality. But it is such an important transit, which occurs once a year, that I am planning to write a separate post on it as it nears. Stay tuned!
Overall, this spring promises a dynamic interplay of planetary influences, urging us to align our intentions with the cosmic currents for optimal growth and fulfillment. And for those of you, who are ready to take an active role in your healing process and embark on a journey of self-discovery and transformation, I invite you to my flagship course “Astro Woman” (March 18th – April 17th). From astro wisdom, to mindfulness meditations and energy healing modalities, you’ll learn practical skills to cultivate balance, resilience, and vitality in your life, regardless of the celestial transits in the sky.

Are you feeling the rising tensions already?
This fall hasn’t been lining up to be the easiest. With two planet-teachers (Jupiter and Saturn) in retrograde, the corridor of eclipses, weakened Sun and Venus, life is continuously asking us to be patient and respect the natural laws of universal karmic laws.
You reap what you sow.. This truth will especially be coming through loud and clear in the upcoming few weeks as the two royal planets, Sun and Moon, are eclipsed by the illusory and rebellious energy of shadow knot Rahu. It is important to take responsibility for ourselves and our reality without shifting the blame onto someone else for all our ‘troubles.’
Right now is the time to be maximally conscious and to avoid conflicts that we know to avoid anyways. Situations might arise from the past that will ask us to re-evaluate our position. Learning to see the perspective of others is a skill and practicing it right now is more vital than ever.
In addition, Sun is going into Libra, a sign of its debilitation. Since the energy of Sun has to do with our optimism, health, and life force (prana), these areas are expected to falter. It’s a wonderful time to go through a health retreat, do a cleanse, take a vitamin complex, etc. If the opportunity affords, taking a vacation someplace sunny would be ideal or at least spend as much time as possible outside during this turbulent time.
Moreover, Rahu and Ketu are shifting their positions and setting up home in their new respective signs for the next 18 months, which will reflect on the shift in priorities and will directly impact our lives’ trajectories. Other areas that were important the last year and a half, might fall to the background. More about this transition a bit later.
3-29 of November, planet Venus will weaken, and before that she is playing an active role in the eclipses, so expect challenges and life lessons in areas of relationships, diplomacy and arts, including healing arts. In my training “Astro Week” I share the full list of methods of harmonization for Venus, but here I will just remind that it is ultra important not to neglect self-care and self-love starting now and until the end of November. Bubble bath, nice looks, styles, make up, hair, mani-pedis, flowers, seasonal decorations.. I hope you get the message.
Starting on November 17th, things will start simmering down some. Sun will start feeling better, which will improve areas of health, optimism and global leadership. Then Venus. Saturn is already going to be moving directly, which will ease the quantity and quality of life lessons. And Rahu and Ketu will slowly start settling in their new homes.
Leave a comment if you would like to learn more about what to focus on during this period of eclipses and what to best avoid.
Wishing all of us a harmonious, easy and productive corridor of eclipses and a beautiful golden rest of autumn.
With love towards you and your starts 🌟
XOXO,

Welcome!
In This Webinar You Will Learn How To Transmute The Subconscious Into Conscious So That It Aligns With YOUR Dreams and Desires, Activate Your Super Powers, and Manifest The Next Level Of Your Desired Reality With Ease, Grace, And Most Importantly, STRESS-FREE!
In a little over an hour I’ve summarized years’ worth of knowledge gathered across numerous trainings and practices that span across multiple sciences examining energy flows, psychology, self healing and meditation. When practiced daily, the 8 truths shared in this video will help you activate YOUR inner warrior, awaken your intuition, heal past trauma experiences and aid in avoiding stress from accumulating in the future.
I’m offering this at a fraction of the usual investment because I know how important this work is – now more than ever.
💎 Here is what you will find in this Webinar:
💎 Resourceful Person. WHO it is and WHY you want to become one.

💎 Intuition. We all have it.
💎 Breaking the self-feeding loop of STRESS.
💎 The secret to Multitasking.
💎 How to exit a Panic Attack.
💎 A tool to make your WILDEST DREAMS come true!
💎 The CROWN JEWEL of the Webinar is an exercise at the end to unlock your SUPER POWER!
The Details:
💎A resourceful person is someone who can handle a stressful trigger, digest it and let it pass through his/her body without leaving any residue, with the exception of the lesson learnt. In this resourceful manner we may fall but always rise again with renewed appreciation for who we are and what we are capable of BUT without traumatic sediment that is inevitably going to turn into disease, if left unattended.
💎 We all know that our THOUGHTS lead to ACTIONS and ACTIONS in turn form our REALITY. But did you know that 90% of our thinking is ruled by our subconsciousness, a set of programs and beliefs picked up sometime during our early childhood? So, if your reality is less than perfect, you know where to look – thats right – your subconsciousness. I provide details, examples and tools to take apart and reconstruct the limiting side of your subconsciousness and align it with your DESIRED NEW REALITY.
💎 We all have heard about intuition, but most people rarely let it guide them. In this webinar I share an exercise that will never lead you astray when making an important life decision with the help of your.. you guessed it.. INTUITION.
💎 Find tools for how to break the self-reinforcing cycle of stress triggered imbalance.
💎 A note on multitasking and how bad we are at it. This will definitely help you re-invent yourself and how you approach life in general, making you a gazillion times more efficient at everything you do!
💎 Panic attack much? Find a tool inside to help you exit it when you find yourself triggered and return to the centered and calm state of the Super Human that you are!
💎 I also share a way to make even your wildest dreams come true through a form of structural approach that is easy to follow and requires a minimal amount of maintenance.
💎 I end the webinar with the most powerful exercise that will allow you to synchronize your subconsciousness, physical body and your conscious side, if done daily. It’s the 3D effect that will unlock your inner Creator, Warrior, and a TRUE SUPER HUMAN!
