The August 28 lunar eclipse arrives in Dhātā/Tvaṣṭā, carrying a different tone from the earlier Vivasvān solar eclipse. In this episode of Predicting with the Ādityas, Laura Barat and I explore how this eclipse activates Tvaṣṭā, and Dhātā while putting Mercury in a difficult position the Moon and strongly aspected by Uranus. We begin by recapping the August 12 Vivasvān solar eclipse and noticing globally the earthquakes in populated regions and intensifying water conflict conditions across the western US and Canada and around the world (both from drought and data centres). From there, we turn
In this episode of Fiona’s Adityas Podcast, Nadamayi and I explore the healing power of Vivasvān Āditya - the Sun who softens, focuses, and learns to be in relationship. We follow his mythology through themes of society, justice, nervous‑system regulation and the quiet architecture of healthy communities. Vivasvān’s stories from Mārtāṇḍa’s stillbirth, to Sañjñā and Chāyā, to the shaving of the Sun’s rays, reveal how humans learn cooperation, consequences, discernment and the ability to return after burnout. We also meet Anumlocā Apsarā, Ṛṣi Bhṛgu, Ugrasena Gandharva, Śaṅkhapāla Nāga, and Vyāgh
This eclipse carries a rare coherence - the Sun, the Moon, the manifesting benefics AND the outer planets seem to be working together, opening a doorway of opportunity in Vivasvān. In this episode of Predicting with the Adityas, Laura Barat and I explore the upcoming 12 August 2026 solar eclipse and New Moon in Vivasvān (around 20°, aligned with Tropical Leo). This eclipse is conjoined Mercury, Jupiter, and Ketu, bringing the potential for beneficial material opportunities and new beginnings in familiar or past‑related areas. We talk about why Vivasvān, the rāśi where the Sun responds to the n
In this episode of The Healing Power of Mythology, we explore Indra Aditya, the king of the Devas and the archetype of sympathetic activation, Piṅgalā, and visible action. We map Indra onto nervous‑system dynamics (SNS/PNS, ventral vagal, Ida–Pingala–Sushumna) and explore how to purify through empathy, relational repair, and Dharma. Myths covered: • Indra defeating Vṛtra with Dadhīci’s vajra • Killing Bala and transforming the Maruts • Krishna lifting Govardhana • Ignoring Bṛhaspati and suffering consequences • The Ahalyā story and Indra’s curse of heightened sensitivity • Bali/Vāmana and Indr
As we move from Varuṇa into Indra through the Northern Solstice, Laura Barat joins me for our monthly Aditya‑based forecast. We begin by reflecting on Varuṇa’s clarity and spontaneous healing, the Venus–Jupiter conjunction, and whether it had any impact on the pragmatic peace mumblings of previous the month. Then we outline Indra as the fixed, manifesting fire Rāśi showcasing self‑love, purification, visible intention and the kind of inner honesty where nothing can be hidden. Next, Laura walks through the Lunar cycle … the Puṣan Full Moon (June 29) with themes of minimalism, humanitarian sacri
In this episode, I sit down with Nadamayi to explore Varuṇa — not just as the “god of water,” but as a vast, all‑pervasive field of consciousness, clarity, and truth in the Āditya tradition. We look at how Varuṇa’s mythology becomes a living map for healing, nervous‑system regulation, and emotional honesty. We talk about Varuṇa as an origin‑deity whose waters symbolize love without grasping, and we contrast that with desire through stories like Varuṇa taking Bhadra, and the sage Utathya “drying him up.” This leads into reflecting on Gandhi's insight that greed has devasting consequences for al
In this episode, Laura Barat and I explore the shifting cosmic waters of June 2026 — a month shaped by conjunctions, squares, trines, and the powerful entrance of Uranus into Varuṇa, the Aditya of all‑encompassing love and oceanic consciousness. We begin by revisiting the recent Saturn–Mars conjunction before turning toward the major movements of the month: • Uranus joined by the Sun and Mercury in Varuṇa, opening a tidal‑wave moment for awakening, emotional intelligence, and becoming a truer version of ourselves • How the Moon’s Horā amplifies the intuitive, receptive quality of these conjunc
In this episode, Nadamayi and I explore Mitra Aditya, the love of friendship — goodwill toward others, toward ourselves and toward the challenges life places in our path. We look at how envy, insecurity, and hostility cloud Mercury’s intelligence, and how a pure, friendly heart opens the way for higher solutions. Along the way we travel through the myths that illuminate Mitra’s field: • Anasūyā’s purity and the unwinnable hospitality test • Pauruṣeya, the half‑human Rakshasa who tests human potential • Takṣaka and the underworld lessons of crafting one’s life • Rathasvana, the chariot‑hum and
With the recent pile-up of planets around the equinox, over the past few weeks, I’ve enjoyed pondering the question - are we watching a Pisces story, an Aries story, or an Aryamā story unfold? It’s a question that keeps echoing through my readings, my teaching, and the global headlines. And in this episode of Predicting with the Adityas, I invited the Laura Barat back to explore that question with me. Together we: reflected on the New Moon conjunct Mars, Mercury, Saturn (and Neptune) on 17 April considered the coming Full Moon in Aṃśu on 1 May examined Venus and Uranus’ conjunction and their m
