S2 Ep10 - Awakening to Surya: Dawn Awareness and Sun Mythology with Nisha Sankaran
Can a 3000 year old myth have anything inclusive and validating to say to current times? This episode casts gentle dawn rays on to the lively mythology of Surya to discover if two female Vedic Astrology enthusiasts can find themselves and their experience in this ancient story. Along the way, we are transformed and humbled at the insights that were hidden beneath this rough exterior. The lessons of speaking one's truth and leaders compromising to include all people couldn't be more relevant today!
Nisha Sankaran, my guest today, entered the world at the beginning of the year and the end of the zodiac, and overtime she has come to love the point at which the poles meet, where beginning meets end, in the mystery of that hazy dawn. She is a fan of the liminal, connection, healing, creativity and self-empowerment and knows that every human is boundless potential coming from the Loving Power that made us all. Nisha has formal education in Business, Anthropology, Healthcare IT and has continued education with Vedic astrology courses, classes at the Jung center, poetry, travel, personal writing and the ups and downs of life.

Episode 12 - The Sun and Venus: Mutual Enemies, Cancel Culture and Common Goals
As Venus turns retrograde and we approach the southern Solstice of the Sun, let's examine the relationship between these two important planets. Well known as 'mutual enemies' in Vedic Astrology, we will examine how a benefic, female planet could end up in such a situation! We will also explore their Exaltation points, their pure intent through Shad bala and see how their Ayana bala approaches might explain the 'Cancel Culture' phenomenon. Finally we'll look at share agendas and pathways to working with these planets if they are in difficult placements in the birth chart.
