Quietmind Astrology — Learn Vedic Astrology With Jeremy Devens

RSVP for the free live workshop this Thursday: Become Your Own Astrologer [https://www.quietmindastrology.com/workshop] https://www.quietmindastrology.com/workshop [https://www.quietmindastrology.com/workshop] If you’ve ever lost your phone, you know the information on it is incredibly valuable — but without the code to unlock it, it’s useless. Your birth chart is the same way. You can have your chart in front of you, but without knowing how to decode it, you won’t be able to unlock its insights. In this episode, I’m sharing the simplest and most powerful way to start reading your birth chart: by focusing on the “Big Three” — your ascendant, your moon, and your sun — plus one bonus factor that can be just as influential. We’ll go step-by-step through what each of these tells you, why they’re essential, and how to put them together for a clear and accurate first reading. I use Beyoncé’s chart as a real-life example now that we have her accurate birth time from her biography: September 4, 1981, 21:47 in Houston, Texas. She has Aries Rising (Ashwini Nakshatra), Moon in Scorpio (Vishaka), and Sun in Leo — three powerful placements that each reveal different aspects of her personality, leadership style, and emotional world. On top of that, she has five placements in Virgo, showing how an abundance of planets in one sign can shape someone’s life as much as, or even more than, the Big Three. I also share simple tips for decoding sign energies — from the initiating leadership of Aries, to the intensity and mystery of Scorpio, to the regal authority of Leo — and why learning the symbols of the zodiac can take you far in your studies. You’ll hear about the strengths and challenges of each, plus how Beyoncé’s Virgo stellium shows up in her perfectionism, discipline, and attention to detail in her performances. This is your foundation for everything else in astrology — nakshatras, planetary rulerships, divisional charts — it all builds from understanding your Big Three. I’ll be diving deeper into these tools in my Become Your Own Astrologer workshop, all-new for 2025, with a fully updated 50+ page workbook to guide you. Whether you’re brand new to astrology or you’ve been studying for years, this episode will help you sharpen your skills, return to the essentials, and see your chart in a whole new way. Key ideas from the episode: * The ascendant (rising sign) shapes the houses and is the foundation of any chart reading * The moon sign reveals your mind, emotions, and relationship with the mother * The sun sign shows where you shine, your leadership, and paternal influences * Three or more planets in one sign can be as influential as the Big Three * Learning the zodiac symbols is a quick way to start understanding sign energies Instagram:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://www.instagram.com/quietmindastrology⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ YouTube⁠:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://www.quietmindastrology.com/youtube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Mentorship: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ http://www.quietmindastrology.com/mentorship⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Yoga Teacher Training Podcast: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.anchor.fm/yogateachertraining⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Quietmind Yoga:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.quietmind.yoga⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Keywords: nakshatras, grahas (planets), rashi (zodiac signs), bhavas (houses), jyotish (astrology), yoga (planetary combinations), doshas (afflictions), kundali (birth chart), transits, retrograde, aspects, dasha system, remedies, mantras, shani, chani, chandra, mangala, Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces, Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn

Become Your Own Astrologer workshop this Thursday! RSVP for free to join live - https://www.quietmindastrology.com/workshop [https://www.quietmindastrology.com/workshop]If you’re like me, you’ve got plenty of inputs in your life — news, podcasts, conversations, books — but how often do you sit and truly listen to the wisdom that’s already inside you? This episode is an invitation to step away from the noise, tune in, and hear what life has been trying to tell you.We’ll explore the energy of Shravana, the nakshatra of hearing and listening, which is especially strong right now under the Full Moon in Capricorn. This isn’t about adding more voices to your life — it’s about giving you perspective and tools to connect with your own internal guidance system.Life speaks in many ways: through your feelings in each moment, synchronicities that show up again and again, repeating patterns in your relationships or work, moments that trigger strong reactions, and the symbols in your dreams. Sometimes these signs are gentle, sometimes they’re loud, but they’re always personal to you. In this episode, I’ll share examples from my own life and insights from Vedic wisdom to help you notice and work with these messages.I'll share about:• Why feelings are one of the clearest forms of life’s feedback• How synchronicities can act as signposts for your path• The role of patterns — both supportive and limiting — in shaping your reality• What triggers reveal about deeper samskaras and opportunities for growth• How dreams act as “letters from the universe” that you can open, read, and learn from• The natural cycles of expansion and contraction and how to work with both• Recognizing “bright lights” that signal alignment and “resistance” that signals growth edgesI’ll also share why it’s so important to create space to process what life is saying, especially in an age where we have more external input than ever before. This is the essence of Shravana energy — listening deeply to your life, not rushing to change everything, but allowing the messages to integrate so you can respond from clarity rather than reactivity.If you want to go deeper with this Full Moon in Shravana, I’ve created a guide with “Opportunities & Challenges” for your rising and moon signs, plus a simple practice to work with this energy. It’s in the free weekly horoscopes email — you can sign up at quietmindastrology.com.And if you’re ready to study astrology for yourself and use it as a lifelong tool for clarity and guidance, join me for the Become Your Own Astrologer workshop. I’ll walk you through the steps to start reading your own chart with accuracy and confidence, so you can work with transits like this Full Moon in real time. Sign up at quietmindastrology.com/workshop — link in the show notes.Life is always speaking to you. The question is — are you listening?5 Key Ideas from the Episode• Life speaks to us in feelings, synchronicities, patterns, triggers, and dreams.• Patterns will repeat until we do something about them.• A dream not analyzed is like receiving a letter and not opening it.• Expansion isn’t always good, contraction isn’t always bad — both are part of the cycle.• To hear what life is saying, you need time, space, patience, and real human connection.Free Downloads, Weekly Horoscopes & Exclusive offers: https://www.quietmindastrology.com/freehoroscopesFree Vedic Birth Chart & Training:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://www.quietmindastrology.com/freebirthchartInstagram:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://www.instagram.com/quietmindastrologyDecode Your Birth Chart: https://www.quietmindastrology.com/decode1:1 Reading: https://www.quietmindastrology.com/readingMentorship: https://www.quietmindastrology.com/mentorshipQuietmind Yoga: https://www.quietmind.yoga

Decode Your Birth Chart at https://www.quietmindastrology.com/101 [https://www.quietmindastrology.com/101] Become Your Own Astrologer at https://www.quietmindastrology.com/workshop [https://www.quietmindastrology.com/workshop] It's August 2025 and we’re stepping into eclipse season by the end of the month. I’ll walk you through all of it in this episode and invite you to join me for some of the most powerful trainings I offer.August 2nd kicks off with the Decode Your Birth Chart workshop — the one to attend if you’ve ever looked at your chart and thought, “What am I looking at?” I’ll show you how to interpret the signs, planets, and houses so you can understand your chart and others’ more clearly.August 9th brings the Full Moon in Shravana, Capricorn, an invitation to emotionally process what’s unresolved from July’s Mercury and Saturn retrogrades. This Full Moon is about listening inward, reviewing your routines, and aligning your day-to-day life with your deeper purpose. Sit in meditation. Listen to nostalgic music. Reassess what’s working and what isn’t.August 11th marks Mercury Direct in Cancer, but the shadow period continues through the month. During Mercury retrograde it's not a good time for starting new things. Let this time be about emotional catharsis, creative expression, and finishing unfinished business. I’ve been seeing tech issues, lost files, and missed details — all part of the process. Don’t resist it. Laugh at it. Flow with it.August 14th is the Become Your Own Astrologer workshop, where I share the 7 steps to practice astrology skillfully and avoid the misinformation so common in AI and online tools. There’s still no AI that’s actually trained for Vedic astrology. They’re all trained on Western. If you want to read accurate, astronomically based charts, this is where to begin.August 16th, the Sun moves into Leo, its own sign. Now’s the time to “step into your power and let it go.” It’s paradoxical, but with Ketu in Leo, the fire of personal power is being redirected toward spiritual growth. If you’ve been asking yourself, “Who am I? Where am I going?” — that’s this transit.August 17th, we get a little reprieve with the Moon exalted in Rohini, a great day for self-care, yoga, walks in nature, spa days, or anything Venusian. Ways that you feel like you’re taking care of yourself, enjoying life, enjoying the senses — very favorable.August 20th, Venus moves into Cancer, shifting the tone from emotional cleansing in Ardra to emotional nourishment. If the first half of August is about crying and catharsis, the second half is about comfort and connection. Deepen the friendship part of your relationship. If you’re single and looking to date, the second half of August is quite nice.”Watch for overindulgence or overwhelm, but lean into creating beauty, intimacy, and play.August 23rd opens the Eclipse Portal, beginning with a New Moon in Leo (Magha) — this is when everything shifts. You go into it one way, you come out another way. This is a powerful time to reflect on your identity, your lineage, and what you’re here to change. It’s no coincidence the Vedic Astrology Mentorship begins the same day. If you’ve been practicing astrology by listening to this podcast, you’re already an astrology practitioner. Now it’s time to go deeper.August 30th, Mercury enters Leo, completing its post-retrograde cycle and bringing clarity, creativity, and spiritual communication. You’ll feel this especially if you’re studying astrology, personal development, or any self-awareness practice. You’ll be ready to move forward with new awareness and clear thinking again.5 Key Ideas• “Feel it so you can heal it”• “Step into your power… and let it go” — Sun and Ketu in Leo are asking for humble strength.• “If you’re listening to this, you are practicing astrology”• “We all get the same 168 hours a week. How do you want to use that time?” — Use the Full Moon to reflect.• “Find your gifts and give them away” — That’s your purpose, and that’s what this month is about.

Download the free Mercury Retrograde Guide at https://www.quietmindastrology.com/mercuryjuly2025 [https://www.quietmindastrology.com/mercuryjuly2025]From July 17 to August 11, 2025, Mercury goes retrograde fully in the water sign of Cancer. This is part two of three Mercury retrogrades happening entirely in water signs this year—Pisces, Cancer, and then Scorpio. Each one brings an invitation to feel what we haven’t fully felt yet… to process, heal, and finally move forward. “Feel it to heal it” is the essence of this cycle.This episode is your full Vedic astrology guide to Mercury Retrograde in Cancer. I walk you through the entire timeline—from the beginning of the shadow phase on June 29 to Mercury entering Leo on August 30—and how to actually work with this energy.💡 I created a detailed downloadable guide for this transit (free or pay what you want) at quietmindastrology.com/mercuryjuly2025. It includes rising sign practices, reflection prompts, and transit dates so you can stay grounded and make the most of this two-month window.Rather than fearing Mercury Retrograde, this is an invitation to slow down, realign, and pay attention to what’s really nourishing your mind and emotions. “You want to feel it so you can heal it.” That includes rethinking how you communicate, how you digest life emotionally, and how you respond under stress.In this episode, I cover: • Why Mercury struggles in Cancer and how that shows up emotionally and mentally • The connection between your thoughts, breath, and emotions (Upanishadic teachings) • Key dates and transitions from Pushya to Ashlesha nakshatras • How to practically work with this retrograde using Ayurvedic tips, journaling, and pattern interrupts • Why this is a powerful time to revisit old emotional wounds and speak what hasn’t been spokenHere are 5 key quotes from this episode: • “We’re not meant to just think our way through this. We’re meant to feel it.” • “If you’re feeling anxious or unsettled, check your breath. That’s where it starts.” • “You might start to go back through things under the surface in your psyche that need to be uncovered.” • “What really nourishes you—mentally, emotionally, physically? This is the time to reflect.” • “You can either break the pattern now, or repeat it again in the next retrograde.”Whether you’re Mercury-dominant, in a Mercury Dasha, or just curious about how this retrograde may affect you—this episode is for you. And if you’ve been meaning to revisit a conversation, journal more deeply, or finally clear the emotional cobwebs—you’re right on time.The full transit cycle: • June 29: Mercury enters pre-shadow at 10° Pushya • July 17 to Aug 11: Mercury retrograde from 24° to 10° Cancer • July 29: Returns to Pushya nakshatra • Aug 11: Mercury goes direct at 10° Pushya • Aug 21: Returns to Ashlesha going direct • Aug 24: Leaves shadow zone—new clarity • Aug 30: Mercury enters Leo—bold new voice🧘‍♂️ Use this retrograde to slow down. Review your emotional needs. Get curious about your habits. Ask yourself: What am I really feeding myself, mentally and emotionally? And if something feels unresolved—go inward, breathe, and let yourself feel it fully.And if you want to go deeper with astrology—beyond Mercury, beyond Cancer—join me inside the Vedic Astrology Mentorship. This is where I teach everything I know about how to give accurate, compassionate readings and deeply understand your chart.🎓 Learn more: quietmindastrology.com/mentorship⸻🔗 Free Vedic Birth Chart & Training:http://www.quietmindastrology.com/freebirthchart [http://www.quietmindastrology.com/freebirthchart]📸 Instagram:http://www.instagram.com/quietmindastrology [http://www.instagram.com/quietmindastrology]▶️ YouTube:http://www.quietmindastrology.com/youtube [http://www.quietmindastrology.com/youtube]🌟 Mentorship Waitlist:http://www.quietmindastrology.com/mentorship [http://www.quietmindastrology.com/mentorship]Decode Your Birth Chart: https://www.quietmindastrology.com/101 [https://www.quietmindastrology.com/101]1:1 Reading: https://www.quietmindastrology.com/reading [https://www.quietmindastrology.com/reading]🧘‍♀️ Quietmind Yoga: https://www.quietmind.yoga [https://www.quietmind.yoga]

On Sunday, July 13th, Saturn begins its retrograde in Pisces, initiating a four-month cycle of profound introspection and necessary change.In this episode of the Quietmind Astrology Podcast, I talk about what this means for you—not just in theory, but in the very real choices you’re making every day. This is the kind of transit that pulls your attention to what really matters: your energy, your responsibilities, your boundaries, and the structures that either support or sabotage your growth.Saturn is the furthest planet we can see with the naked eye, and it’s always been symbolic of the outer limits—what we can hold, what we can commit to. It’s the energy of the ring, the container, the sacred ‘yes.’ Pisces, on the other hand, has no container. It’s boundless, formless, deeply spiritual and often confusing. So what happens when these two meet? What happens when Saturn goes retrograde in this ocean of potential?We start to re-evaluate everything.This is a time to review, revise, and realign with your vision. We’re talking about a collective and personal upgrade—but you can’t skip steps. You have to go back over old lessons and outdated roles. As I said in the episode, “You may be needing to revisit some old lessons. You may need to replay them so you can spiral up and out of them.”Five key ideas I shared in this episode:— “We’re starting a new four-month chapter about maturing.”— “Saturn in Pisces asks us to break through perceived ceilings and restructure how we live and work.”— “This is a time to revisit your daily foundations: sleep, movement, food, water, nature.”— “Confusion isn’t a problem—it just means the path hasn’t become clear yet.”— “Synchronicities are a signal: if the path feels uphill, maybe it’s not your path.”This cycle (from July 13 to November 28) moves through Uttara Bhadrapada and Purva Bhadrapada, both symbolized by the funeral cot. It’s time to release what’s dead and done. This is about necessary endings—not out of punishment, but to create space for something new and more aligned.Jupiter in Gemini during this time adds mental stimulation and opportunity, but also overwhelm and confusion. I talk about how this can show up as overthinking, overdoing, and burnout—classic signs of Vata imbalance. And I give practical ways to balance it, like eating grounding foods, limiting inputs, and spending more time in nature.In this episode, I guide you through:— How to assess your current structures and commitments— Why your foundational habits matter more than ever— What kind of resistance and fear might show up (and how to move through it)— How to align with divine timing and synchronicities— Why being confused is actually part of the path to clarityAs I said, “Clarity often starts with a date in the future.” From there, you can work backward to build the structure that supports your vision. Whether you’re a go-with-the-flow Pisces type or a Virgo like me who loves structure, this episode will help you find your path within the chaos.You’ll also hear why kundalini energy and the serpent of the depths are powerful guides right now. Saturn in this part of the sky wants us to be stealthy, patient, and precise with our energy.This retrograde isn’t about rushing. It’s about realignment.If this episode resonates, please leave a review, share it with a friend, and check out the links below to go deeper with me.⸻Free Weekly Horoscopes & Exclusive offers: https://www.quietmindastrology.com/fr...
