In this episode I take a deep dive into the connection between intimacy, sexuality, and grief. Joined by holistic trauma therapist Sara Jones, we discuss the intertwining of these profound themes, often associated with Vedic Astrology’s 8th and 12th houses. We explore Sara’s research, published in “The International Journal of Sexual Health” on therapists working with grief and how it affects their clients’ intimate lives. The episode also delves into the importance of rituals, holistic methods, and how Vedic Astrology can support individuals through these life transitions. Join us for an enriching conversation that bridges taboo topics with spiritual growth.

With thanks to António Marques for the intro music, welcome to the Season 5 premiere of the Vedic Astrology Podcast! After a longer than expected hiatus, I'm thrilled to be back sharing my love of Astrology with you! In this episode, I explore the metaphor of 'Earth Campus' to better understand Vedic astrology.

I'm going to show you the significance of your birth chart as a timetable that unlocks your personal path and destiny. If you'd like to follow along, be sure to check out the detailed metaphor at fionamarques.com/earth-campus (https://www.fionamarques.com/earth-campus). Additionally, if you're interested in deepening your knowledge, consider joining "The Guided Pathway" of the Apprenticeship (https://www.fionamarques.com/apprenticeship-guidance) or connecting with my community on Patreon (https://www.patreon.com/fionamarques).

The Birth Chart as your Earth Campus Timetable

Text me your thoughts about this epidode ...

In this episode, I explore Saturn and Neptune as they journey through Uttara Bhadrapada Nakshatra. Have you been feeling squeezed in 2025? That cosmic pressure isn’t just life—it might be the rare Saturn–Neptune conjunction coupled with Saturn retrograde in Pisces, activating karmic lessons and reshaping our collective ideals through this penultimate Vedic Lunar Mansion.
I unpack a specific Nakshatra meaning in Vedic Astrology by delving into the mythic symbolism of the Ahirbudhnya serpent and connecting that to the “Oil Mill Lord” metaphor from "The Greatness of Saturn". You’ll discover how planetary transits like — Neptune in Pisces, Saturn Transit of 2025 (including Saturn retrograde), and their Nakshatra transit — press out the essence of your life experiences similar to a powerful Soma extraction ritual. Whether you follow Tropical or Sidereal Vedic Astrology, you’ll gain fresh insights into this Vedic Nakshatra, Pisces Rasi, retrograde interpretation, and Neptune’s visionary influence.
Along the way, I share my experience and discuss practical astrology tools like yin-yoga spinal twists to embody the cosmic squeeze, and ask journaling prompts to help you extract your personal Soma. Tune in now to align with these planetary transits, transform celestial tension into sacred essence, and deepen your astrology practice.

In this episode of the Vedic Astrology Podcast, join me (Fiona Marques) and special guest Jack Lyons as we delve into the rich imagery of Aquarius, Pisces, and Aries as depicted in ancient Vedic texts. Using insights from the Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra, Jaimini Sutras, and Yavana Jataka we attempt to understand how to cross the zodiac threshold and transition from endings to beginnings. We cover karmic cycles, the dissolution of ego, and the rebirth of new beginnings, offering a philosophical perspective on life's transitions and the interconnectedness of all things.

Tune in to explore:
 – The man with the pot and the burden of quiet service
 – Saturn’s mythic exile and the solitary figure in water
 – Kaivalyam, Sattva, and the subtle bliss of Pisces
 – The strange code of “five rats and cats”
 – The karmic momentum that propels us into Aries
 – And why the ecliptic offers no true beginning or end

Perfect for astrology students, storytellers, or anyone curious about the thresholds of transformation.

Crossing the Zodiac Threshold

Text me your thoughts about this epidode ...

In today's episode I have the pleasure of recording a podcast episode with my husband!! Together we explore the different approaches of Jupiter and Mercury in a birth chart. We talk about "A Restless Traveller," Zé's memoir focused on a four-month trip to Europe he took in 1977 at age 23. I have the chance to share the Vedic Mythology how Mercury was conceived (picking up from where Nisha Sankaran and I left off in S2 Ep 11, 12 & 14). The mythology of Tara, Jupiter and the Moon become a touchstone that we returned to throughout the interview. We also discuss the influence of José's Gemini rising sign and the Parivartana Yoga of mutual exchange between Mercury and Jupiter in his birth chart on themes of restlessness, travel, identity, and the search for connection. We explore how his travels and his relationship with his family and romantic encounters, resonated with Vedic Astrologic Houses of self (1st), home (4th), parents (4th & 10th), and the quest for love (7th). We also talk about the process of writing and how revisiting his past led to deeper self-acceptance. I hope you will enjoy learning more about Jupiter and Mercury through this personal episode :)

Join me for a special, light-hearted Valentine's Day episode of the Vedic Astrology Podcast. I’m delving into connections between Valentine's Day and Vedic Astrology. I’ll play with the Sun's position in the 11th sign and its significance in relationships, the rebellious nature of Aquarius and even the back-story of St. Valentine to explore various astrological and mythical links. I’m also going to examine the Vargas and the significance of the exact degree of the Sun on Valentine’s Day each year in relation to creativity and spiritual knowledge, and how these can inspire self-awareness and support striving for a higher connection. There’s even an interesting parallel drawn between Cupid and Kamadeva from Indian mythology. Tune in for this short and sweet zoom through some of the ways Vedic Astrology can enhance our understanding of love and relationships on this special day.
