~*~Greetings Lovelies ~*~
I hope everyone feels at home in their hearts on this beautiful Autumn evening or morning, depending on where you are. Tomorrow, Oct 2nd, we will experience the October solar eclipse and the beginning of Navratri, the 9 nights of the Goddess. Eclipses are very powerful portals and often the source of serious upheaval in our lives. According to Vedic Astrology, the best way to convert the troubling effects of eclipses is through the demon-slaying goddess, Durga. She is the Great Mother, also known as Kali and by many other other names. It is her incarnations and journey that we celebrate through the 9 nights of Navratri.
Over the last few years, I've spent Navratri in ceremony and study with one of my teachers and guides, Anandashree, of Anandashree Astrology. She practices Jyotish or Vedic Astrology, the zodiac and cosmos of India. Vedic astrology does not alter the wheel of the zodiac with equations to make it Sun-centric as western astrology does. Vedic astrology focuses on the stars as they actually appear, not altered by math. This results in an approximately 22 degree difference in charts, a focus on your rising sign- not your Sun sign, and an entirely different way of doing charts and connecting different elements of the cosmos.
Anandashree is both incredibly skilled and remarkably intuitive in her vedic astrology and tarot readings, her vast knowledge of the cosmos, and the traditional systems and stories of Jyotish. Her presence and guidance during ritual and study is invaluable and I'm so very grateful for all she gives, all I've learned, and the incredible experience of living in devotion to the Goddess.
She is all Life. We are Her.

Oct SOLAR ECLIPSE + Navratri | Goddess Awakening | Karmic Closures | Vedic Astrology
On October 2, 2024, a solar eclipse crosses the Pacific Ocean between 8:42 AM and 2:47 PM pt, bringing closures and new beginnings. If you’ve been facing unforeseen changes or challenges recently, know that you are not alone. This eclipse is the crest of a wave of transformation, and an opportunity for a new beginning.
Eclipses often signify chaotic shifts, earthquakes or hurricanes, unexpected events, and resets on many levels. Crucial turning points can happen in the days and weeks that surround an eclipse. Right now, you might feel as though you’re standing on new ground, or hanging at the threshold of a breakthrough.
During this solar eclipse, the Sun and Moon align with Ketu, the most spiritual and detached of all the planets in Vedic astrology. Ketu, symbolized by a headless serpent, will whip its transformative tail through Hasta Nakshatra, a portal for healing and purification.
Hasta Nakshatra is located in sidereal Virgo, and is associated with healing arts, magic, and the skill of the human hand to communicate, create, and initiate positive change. This section of the sky invites us to use our dexterity and cleverness to shape a new reality.
The Hasta solar eclipse offers a powerful opportunity to reconnect with your inner wisdom. If you’ve been struggling with compromised boundaries, unhealthy habits, or energy-draining situations, now is the time to come back to yourself and begin afresh.
Take heed, communicative Mercury is combust (burning) during this eclipse. Choose your words wisely and avoid major decisions, like signing contracts, at this time. Instead, focus on meditation, fasting, or mantra repetition to harness the healing potential of this eclipse.
Jupiter, the planet of wisdom and guidance, turns retrograde on October 8. A protective aspect (dristi) during this eclipse brings the chance for big and positive results.
This eclipse opens the healing portal for Navratri, the sacred nine-night festival dedicated to the goddess Kali-Durga. According to Vedic Astrology, the best way to convert the troubling effects of eclipses is through the demon-slaying goddess, Durga.
