Ketu Keeper of the Past

Ketu Keeper of the Past

The head (Rahu) is the doorway to this world. When our heads fall off in Ketu dasha planetary periods, the lines blur between the physical and metaphysical world, as do the blocks (Rahu) that keep past-life memories and experiences (Ketu) from spilling over and merging into the current life. Ketu planetary periods are most inexplicable and indescribable because we no longer know where the present life begins and the past life ends. As the boundaries between the physical and spiritual world disappear, there is much confusion and anxiety, but also a potential for total freedom.

Sun: Hero, Seat of Courage 

Sun: Hero, Seat of Courage 

In Sanskrit, the Sun is called shura, or “hero.” We all need a good Sun in the horoscope to handle the challenges life brings. In the horoscope, the Sun shows the type of energy that sustains us and allows us to stay focused and keep moving forward despite the odds. Dopamine is our main motivation neurotransmitter that wires us for heroism. The body is designed to fire dopamine neurons when we complete a task or achieve a goal, which gives us a surge of pleasure.

The Glorious Balance of the Spring Equinox 

The Glorious Balance of the Spring Equinox 

Vedic astrology is also based on nature’s cycles. Each moment of time contains a unique energy and destiny based on what the Sun, Moon, and the planets are expressing in nature. For example, in any given year there will be twelve full moons and twelve new moons, each producing their own unique destiny. Whether we are born on a new moon or a full moon matters, because our consciousness is stamped by that condition of nature at the time of our birth.

Karma, Greenlights and Horror-scopes

Sadhguru an Indian yogi, mystic, and guru of a worldwide spiritual movement. McConaughey a Hollywood superstar and self-described “anthropologist, folk philosopher and truth-seeking street poet”. Two “godmen” from such different worlds talking about their recent books on McConaughey’s youtube channel was unexpected but fascinating.

Their Kuta points or compatibility score is just 17.5 points, which is below average (you need roughly 21 out of 36 points ).
