Newsletter - June Update
An update on Study Hall, AstroliJam, the Certification Pathway of the Asheville Vedic Astrology Apprenticeship Program, The Vedic Astrology Podcast, Truth Room and an Astrology Party!
Newsletter - Which Lajjitaadi Avastha is holding you back?
One of the approaches the Ernst's stresses is the power of reprogramming your "WORST" Lajjitaadi Avastha (the psychological pattern that causes the most damage in your chart). A Vedic Astrologer is uniquely placed to identify this Avastha for you. By knowing which pattern is causing the most damage, you can prioritise your inner work in a focussed area and reap the results more effectively. If you would like me help in identifying your Lajjitaadi Avasthas, please contact me to make a booking today :)

Newsletter - Uranus Retrograde and Afghanistan - 20 Aug 21
As of today, we have Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto all retrograde.
The 'big' Astronomical/Astrological dynamic of 2021 is the 'Square' (confrontation) taking place between Saturn in Aquarius and Uranus in Taurus all year.
These two planets are now getting ready to square each other for the third time this year. And as they get ready, they are both retrograde - that is, moving slowly and confidently, going over ground that they have already covered, this time with a fine-tooth comb and making sure they have said and done everything they came here to do :)
What's super fascinating about these two planets is that they are in an exchange with each other. Rebellious, unpredictable and innovative Uranus (the owner of Aquarius in modern Western Astrology) is in Taurus a fixed, earth, conservative sign. And Saturn, the conservative, is in Uranus' innovative sign of Aquarius.
This 'Square' confrontation is about conservative versus innovative, structure versus rebellion. But who will win and what does winning even look like?
I've noticed this energy in conflicting opposites seeming to suddenly make perfect sense - like servicemen/women and nurses (i.e. traditionally conservative vocations) being anti-vaxxers. Or in far-right and far-left joining up in their distrust of government. Or in people who are 'original-thinkers' not taking an ground-breaking vaccine and people who have a 'sheep-mentality' embracing new mRNA technology.
And I saw it this week in the transition of power in Afghanistan. The U.S. 'world enforcer of law and order' stepping out of the country and side-stepping responsibility. The Afghan army / government stepping aside - to issue in new innovation? or reinstate conservative values? The U.S. President going from good-guy-global-citizen to not-my-problem. Which of these is innovative and which is conservative? So much Saturn perseverance was invested in 21 years of skirmishes, battles, deaths and hard work. And all of that structure dissolved in a matter of days.
It's been a hard week for many - hang in there, breathe, transformation is all around us and sometimes it takes us by surprise. Astrology can give us some Jupiterian perspective and context for understanding all this transformation.

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
