Jyotish: A Vedic Astrology Podcast

We trace the big transits of 2026 and translate them into simple, steady practices that turn noise into wisdom and sensitivity into strength. We show how to balance group input with personal authority without swinging between people-pleasing and pride.

• what planetary transits are and why they matter
• Jupiter in Gemini to Cancer from data gathering to inner guidance
• risks of information overload and how to protect practice
• Saturn in Pisces bringing structure to porous spaces
• feeling emotions versus numbing and distraction
• Rahu in Aquarius and Ketu in Leo balancing group and self
• practical routines for discipline, boundaries, and calm
• daily practices for meditation, prayer, and service

In this episode, Kalidas continues his exploration of the four aims of life through the lens of the astrological houses.
We focus on houses 7–12, grounding them in real-life examples and looking at what these houses reveal about our karma, relationships, and energetic imbalances.
It’s always a pleasure to talk with Kalidas — his faith and devotion come through naturally, and you can feel it as you listen.

In this episode, I’m joined by Keshava Betts, an astrologer and teacher from Ananda Palo Alto, to explore astrology not as prediction, but as a tool for insight, healing, and meaningful change.
Keshava’s website is keshavabetts.com if you’d like to learn more. 
We talk about astrological counselling as a supportive, human process — how astrology can help people feel seen, make sense of difficult periods, and reconnect with their deeper purpose. Rather than telling people what will happen, Keshava shares how astrology can inspire clarity, responsibility, and inner movement at key moments in life.
This is a reflective conversation about using astrology in service of growth, compassion, and real transformation.

✨ In this episode of Jyotish: A Vedic Astrology Podcast, I’m joined by Kalidas Hansen to explore the four aims of life — Dharma (purpose), Artha (security), Kama (pleasure), and Moksha (freedom).
We focus on the first six houses of the birth chart and how each one reflects these universal aims:
1st house – Where will I find self-love?
2nd house – Where will I find security?
3rd house – Where will I find enjoyment?
4th house – Where do I need to think positively and express love?
5th house – Where is my creative purpose?
6th house – Where can I heal and serve?
Kalidas shares a beautiful, practical perspective on how these houses guide our journey of self-discovery and service.
