Episode notes

01

What is dasha? Your life in chapters.

Vedic astrology says your life unfolds in chapters, and each chapter is ruled by a planet. That's a dasha. In four minutes, learn what your current dasha is asking of you, and why naming it changes how you live the season you're in. Pull up a free Vedic chart at astromedha.in to see your dasha right now.

02

Sade Sati explained, and why it's not as scary as people think.

Sade Sati is the seven-and-a-half year Saturn transit that everyone whispers about. The fear is bigger than the thing. In this episode, the actual definition, why Saturn shows up the way it does, and what people who've come through it always say in hindsight.

03

Moon sign vs sun sign, which one really matters in Vedic.

In the West, the sun sign is the headline. In Vedic astrology, the moon sign is the truer reading. Why? Because the moon describes your inner world, the part of you that nobody sees but you feel every day. A short episode on what the moon sign actually captures and why you should know yours. Free chart at astromedha.in.

04

Mercury retrograde, what it actually means, what to do.

Mercury retrograde is the most-shared, most-misunderstood transit in modern astrology. The science behind it. What Vedic astrology says it actually means. And four small things to do during the three weeks it's active. Pull up your chart at astromedha.in to see the next retrograde.

05

Your nakshatra, the lunar mansion you were born in.

Your sun sign is one of twelve. Your moon sign is one of twelve. Your nakshatra is one of twenty-seven, and it's the most precise emotional signature your chart gives. In this episode, what a nakshatra is, why it matters, and how to find yours. Free chart at astromedha.in shows your nakshatra named, with its symbol and story.

06

Lagna (rising sign), why your birth time matters.

Two babies born fifteen minutes apart can have completely different charts. The reason is the lagna, your rising sign. In this episode, what the lagna is, why your exact birth time matters, and what to do if you don't know yours. Free Vedic chart at astromedha.in.

08

The twelve houses, what each one governs in your life.

A natal chart is a wheel cut into twelve slices, and each slice is responsible for one specific area of your life. In this episode, the very short version of all twelve houses, plus how to read which ones are loud in your chart and which ones are quiet. Free chart at astromedha.in.

09

Karma in your chart, what astrology says about cause and effect.

Karma isn't a slogan. It's the deepest idea in Vedic astrology. In this episode, what karma actually means, how your chart is essentially a karmic map of this life, and why the tradition is far more agency-rich than fate-driven. Pull up a free chart at astromedha.in.

10

Muhurta, how astrology picks the right moment for big decisions.

Some moments are sweeter for big decisions than others. Vedic astrology calls that flavour a muhurta. In this episode, what muhurta is, why Indian families have been using it for millennia, and how to use it for the modern decisions that actually matter to you. Free chart at astromedha.in.

11

The cosmic clock, dashas and antardashas, how time works in Vedic astrology.

Vedic astrology has the most timing-rich system in the world. Major chapters of life are dashas. Sub-periods are antardashas. Even shorter windows are pratyantar dashas. In this episode, how the nested clock works, and why naming the layer you're in changes how you plan the year ahead. Free chart at astromedha.in.
