Discovering the Power of Redemption Arcs in Vedic Astrology

Discovering the Power of Redemption Arcs in Vedic Astrology

Have you ever come across Lajjitaadi Avashtas or challenging combinations in your birth chart? Maybe you've seen something on YouTube, or perhaps you've had a session with an astrologer who pointed out a complicated aspect in your chart. You might be feeling overwhelmed, unsure of how to unpack the information, or what it means for your life. More importantly, you might be wondering what you can do to improve your experience here in the world.

Fiona Marques introduces a new group called Redemption Arc Detectives to her patrons on Patreon patreon.com/fionamarques, aimed at individuals struggling with complex astrological placements like Lajjitaadi Avashtas or difficult conjunctions in their birth charts. The group investigates these placements, seeks remedies, and shares experiences for mutual learning and support. The group emphasizes respectful communication. Fiona draws inspiration from the Hero's Journey and explores the concept of redemption arcs in astrology. The initiative supports individuals in transforming their perceived difficult placements into opportunities for growth. To join, visit patreon.com/fionamarques

Newsletter - Pain - 21 May 2021

It's easy to think that Life Coaching is about goals setting, but, Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) reminds us that we can be motivated 'towards' a goal OR 'away' from an obstacle, threat or risk. In many cases, it is hidden 'away from' motivators that are really sabotaging our success no matter how many goals we set. Covering opioids, the 8 limbs of yoga, planetary relationships (Lajjitaadi Avasthas), active planetary sabotage (Drik Bala), the placement of Saturn, Nodal Vimshottari time periods (dasas) and so much more!

Are you losing hope in 2020?

Are you losing hope in 2020?

Jupiter is DEBILITATED in Capricorn. And, it was blindsided by an eclipse on December 26, 2019 involving itself, Moon, Sun and Ketu. And, as if that wasn’t enough, Saturn has been keeping Jupiter company in Capricorn (pretty much) the entire time! Jupiter and Saturn are normally ‘neutral’ to each other (in terms of natural friendships), but, as laid out in the Lajjitaadi Avastas - any planet conjunct Saturn is ‘starved’.

So why is this eclipsed, starved, debilitated Jupiter affecting our hope?

Meghan - 9th House

Meghan - 9th House

Jupiter, the ruler of the 9th house, is located in the 4th house indicating that marriage will be an important part of Meghan’s inner emotional world.  Venus is starving Jupiter and also providing rasi aspect to the 9th house.  When starved by Venus, Jupiter is co-opted into fulfilling joy externally.  This is against Jupiter’s inner-contentment nature and puts the planet under stress. See how this is playing out along with other factors in Meghan’s 9th House …
