    April Horoscope: Yama Yoga, Hanuman Jayanti, and Akshaya Tritiya

    In today's segment, we explore the month of April and the major astrological events. This month is interesting due to having a YAMA YOGA, which don't occur very often. Our last Yama Yoga was in 2024 and our last Yama Yoga in Pisces was 1996! We explore how this combination is formed and what kind of events it can manifest. We also discuss Hanuman Jayanti, which will be marked by the full moon in Virgo coming up on April 1st. If you are unsure how to honor Lord Hanuman but would like to participate, you can find the Hanuman Chalisa here. We also dive into the unique Mercury in Pisces and Jupiter in Gemini parivartana, exploring how this exchange brings direct communication between Jupiter, the Guru, and Mercury, the student/messenger. This is profound time for learning and keeping an open mind. To ease Mercury, find an easy pranayama practice here. Additionally, we unpack Mars in Pisces, a softer and more compassionate expression of drive and motivation. This transit encourages intuitive action, creativity, emotional courage, and spiritual growth — while also asking us to be clear and direct with frustration and anger, instead of becoming passive aggressive or complacent. We explore: April 1st: Full Moon in Virgo 18 degrees Hasta April 2nd - May 11th: Mars in Pisces with Neptune and Saturn (Yama Yoga) April 10th - April 29th : Mercury debilitated in Pisces with Neptune, Mars, and Saturn April 12th: Mars and Neptune conjunction 8 degrees April 16/17: Mercury and Neptune conjunction at 8 degrees Pisces April 17th: New Moon in Aries 3 degrees of Ashwini April 19th Akshaya Tritya (confirm)April 19th Venus in Taurus April 23rd Venus conjunct Uranus 5 degrees TaurusFor a lot of April, debilitated Mercury, Mars, Saturn in Pisces YOUTUBE: D9 exploration: https://youtu.be/HTgYcjltyas Characteristics of Your Spouse: https://youtu.be/i_cOvdSbjy0 Soulmate Astrology https://youtu.be/ExnDysvjzUw Christine: website: innerknowing.yoga instagram: astrologynow_podcast patreon: patreon.com/astrologynowpodcast  keywords: astrology, jyotish, Vedic astrology, sidereal astrology, nakshatras,  spirituality, Christine Rodriguez, aries, libra, scorpio, libra, capricorn, Nakshatra, new moon, taurus, Venus, Jupiter, Pisces, Spirituality, horoscope, retrograde, eclipse, solar eclipse, new moon, lunar eclipse

    Mercury Direct 🎉 + Finding the Soul's North Star

    Hi everyone! We spend some time catching up, new content begins around minute 5. In this segment, we start with Mercury direct, bringing a sense of relief after weeks of reflection since late February. What has resurfaced for you? What conversations, realizations, or patterns have come back around asking to be understood? As Mercury moves forward, clarity returns... and with it, the ability to integrate what we’ve learned. Venus moves through Gandanta degrees. This is an intense window where emotional cycles in love and relationships begin to unravel. Pisces represents completion, surrender, and forgiveness, while Aries initiates a new chapter of desire and direction. This transition can feel confusing or overwhelming, as illusions dissolve and truths come into focus—but it also opens the door to powerful rebirth. We also discuss Sun and Neptune conjunction in Pisces. This transit has the ability to dissolve the ego and soften the identities we’ve been clinging to... especially those shaped by external expectations. It can feel dreamy, psychic, and deeply spiritual… or confusing, foggy, and disorienting. This is a time to ask: Who am I beneath my roles, my thoughts, or my conditioning? We also cover Saturn and Sun conjunction and other astrological ongoings.

    Lunar Eclipse March 3, 2026: Ancestral Healing and Poetry in the Mundane

    Hi everyone! In this segment, we explore the upcoming Lunar Eclipse in Leo in Pūrva Phalgunī — an asterism associated with love, romance, creativity, pleasure, and the sacred creative force that flows through us when we are still, present, and at rest. We discuss practical strategies to consciously connect with and utilize this energy: Prioritizing rest as a creative actSoftening into receptivity rather than controlHealing wounds or authority, visibility, and recognitionReclaiming sensuality as ours to experience Meanwhile, Venus shifts into its sign of exaltation in Pisces, heightening emotion and awakening a longing for “higher love.” Romance may feel fated, spiritual, transcendent. But with heightened sensitivity comes potential illusion. There may be: Idealization in loveRose-colored glassesConfusion or mixed signalsKarmic themes surfacing in intimacy and partnershipWith both Saturn and Neptune influencing the field, we explore the tension between devotion and delusion, fantasy and maturity. The invitation is not to reject romance — but to balance it. To enjoy beauty and mysticism while remaining grounded and discerning. With the Leo–Aquarius axis activated, this eclipse also speaks to: Inner authority vs. collective influenceAncestral patterns around visibility and leadershipInvesting in causes we genuinely care aboutImpact doesn’t have to be grandiose. It can look like: Small acts of generosityShowing up authenticallyChoosing integrity over applauseTune in to explore how this eclipse may manifest — and how to consciously work with its creative, romantic, and transformative potential.

    Solar Eclipse in Dhanishta: Horoscopes for All 12 Signs ❤️

    Today we discuss the upcoming solar eclipse on February 17th in the nakshatra of Dhanishta. We begin by doing a brief recap of some current affairs - we get into more personal astrology around the 9:45 mark with horoscopes coming at the end, per usual. This solar eclipse activates the Leo–Aquarius axis in a way that feels deeply personal and profoundly collective. Ketu in Leo indicates challenging celebrity worship, hierarchy, and the illusion of kingdoms and regimes. Who have we placed on pedestals? Where have we given our power away? Rahu in Aquarius brings a focus shift toward collective advancement - especially in health, innovation, and systems that serve humanity at large. We discuss: Receptivity Abundance Wealth consciousness Money as energy Shifting from being an audience to participant We break down horoscopes for all 12 signs while exploring the brilliance of Dhanishta - the nakshatra of radiance, rhythm, and remembering what makes us bright.
