Fiona and Fernando's fireside chats (part 2)

Part 2 - How Vedic Astrology fits in

Welcome to my series of 'Fireside chats' with Fernando Raul Castro - fionamarques.com and fernandoraulastrology.com

As recent graduates of the Asheville Vedic Astrology Apprenticeship Program, we explore our natural yin/yang approaches and shed light on common presumptions about astrology.

In these times of polarisation of opinions, it is our hope that our discussion will promote contemplation and respect for those with different perspectives to our own. I don't see the world the way Fernando does, and he doesn't see it the way I do and that is often where I find I learn the most!

I hope you also gain some insights and encourage you to be open to ideas even if they seem, at first, to be opposed to your own.

This series was inspired by Fernando's video submission in the 4th Year of our Astrology Apprenticeship. For assessment purposes, the video needed to be an hour long. My wish is that, together, we can explore elements of that video in bite-sized pieces making them accessible and digestible for even more people.

In this episode, we discuss how Vedic astrology fits into the world of Hellenistic astrology, Perso-Arabic astrology, Medieval and Renaissance astrology AND we introduce the concepts of "Praising the Fire" and "Being vs becoming" (that will be explored in coming videos).
