476: What We Can Expect in 2023 from a Vedic Astrology Perspective with Christine Rodriguez

Even though I do view astrology as a science, it is inherently spiritual and there is a very intuitive spiritual nuance to it. And so I do believe that we can find so much value and beauty through so many different systems. Hello.

Hello, I'm Sahara Rose and this is the Highest Self podcast, a place where we discuss what makes you your soul's highest evolvement. If it's your first time listening, welcome. I'm so grateful to have you here, especially this year, 2023. We're doing big things. We're shining our lights like the sun, beings that we are, and there is so much beauty and magic and creativity ahead for us as well as lots of new learnings and healings and up levelings that we're gonna experience this year. So this podcast has been happening now, this to be the sixth year of it, and I love having conversations on spirituality that are modern, grounded, ancient, fun, relatable, full of joy, sacred feminine wisdom. And I'm so grateful to have you here. So, a little bit about my background. I actually have written two books on Ayurveda, the Idiot's Guide to Ayurveda, and Eat, Feel Fresh, both with fours by Deepak Chopra, as well as another book called Discover your Dharma, A Veda Guide to Finding youg Purpose, also with forward by Deepak Chopra. So I spent two years living in India actually studying Ayurveda and seven plus years of my life being an Ayurvedic practitioner and really bringing this ancient Vedic wisdom, which is the sister science of yoga, out into the world. So a lot of people ask me because I have a school called Dharma Coaching Institute where we train Dharma sole purpose and spiritual life coaches. A lot of people ask me how can I see my Dharma through my astrological chart. And I share with them that it's not related to your Western astrology chart, but it's related to your Vedic Astrology chart. So then the question comes, how do I read my Vedic Astrology chart? Where do I look that up? Why is it different than my Western astrology? So this conversation is gonna answer all of your questions and so much more. So I have done several Vedic Astrology episodes here over the years on the podcast and I'll link some of them below with Dr. Suhas Kashirsagar as well as with Laura Plumb. Dr. Suhas is one the OGs in Jyotish Vedic Astrology who was actually brought here by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. He is Deepak Chopra's Vedic astrologer and Ayurvedic doctor And I met him through Deepak, and he is so full of wisdom. And Laura Plum is his student. And today I want to bring on a new voice who I actually found on Instagram. Because she really is part of this generation. I feel like she can make it super accessible for people who maybe are completely unaware of Vedic astrology. You know, these terms like rahu and ketu may be completely foreign to them, and it might be harder for them to understand it. So I feel like Christine does such a great job at making Vedic astrology really understandable and relatable, and that is why I brought her here on, on this podcast to give us the 2023 download of what's going on, as well as helping us read our Vedic astrology chart. So before this conversation, she actually read my chart, so you get to hear about it in this conversation. So I'm kind of someone that you've gotten to know here on this podcast a little bit, so you're able to see how it's making sense in my chart, go through lots of questions you might have, such as, why is it different? What are the meanings of your rising moon and sun in Vedic astrology? How to tell what your past lives are, and so much more. And then she also shares what she sees coming in 2023, and how we can be ready for some potential challenges and obstacles, but ultimately, how it's bringing us closer to the light and the truth. So, without further ado, let's welcome Christine to the Highest Self podcast. Welcome Christine to the Highest Self podcast. It's so good to have you here.

It's such an honor and a pleasure to be here. Thank you so much for having me.

The first question I would love to ask you is, what makes you your highest self?

Hmm. Yeah. I think that what makes me my highest self is being in company of amazing beings. And so when you first ask me that, I think of my teacher. I think of all of the people who have influenced me throughout the years and helped shape me into the person that I am. And so I think that it's having positive associations with people who are also seeking and on the path.

Yes. There is so much that we can learn from each other. I love having this podcast because every single person here is like, you're going to be my teacher in this hour, and, like, every single person has such wisdom to learn from. And I got the chance to actually do a Vedic session with you last week, and I have loved learning about Vedic astrology, especially because it's the sister science of Ayurveda. Which is what I have studied and what my background ground is in, and even Dharma, this concept of your soul's purpose. A lot of people ask me, well, I'm curious if my astrology is related to my Dharma. And I tell them, yes, but it's not your Western astrology, because the sister science of Dharma is Jyotish, Vedic astrology, which is one of the most ancient forms. And I would love for you to share with us a little bit about what is Vedic astrology, what is Jyotish, and maybe how is it a little bit different historically than Western astrology.

Yeah. And so I love that you bring up the idea that, or not the idea, the reality that Jyotish is the sister signs of Ayurveda and yoga. And that's one of the first questions I always ask people when we're having a conversation about astrology. And I'm like, well, you know, the sun sign, it's gonna change whenever we talk about Jyotish. And then people get a little bit uncomfortable because they get so attached to their Western signs and the Western placements. And so I ask them, I'm like, do you like yoga? Do you like Ayurveda? Because if the answer is yes, Jyotish helps complete that system of science. It helps complete the system for true evolution and self discovery that it was intended for. And so Joe Tisch literally translates into the science of light. And so what we're doing is we're studying how the astral bodies are influencing us here on Earth. And I think that what a lot of people get confused about is that Western astrology is actually not using the literal astronomical placement of the planets, it's using the placement of the sun. And in Jyotish or Vedic astrology, we're using the astronomical literal placement of the planet. So that's the second question I ask. It's do you want to know where the planets were literally sitting? Because that's what we get to study. And I think it's a really amazing, beautiful and intimate opportunity to see what the planets and what the stars were doing at the moment that we took our first breath.

For me, a huge wake up call was going into the Sahara Desert in Morocco this year and using the app, so I could see where the constellations were and you could just see everything so brightly out there, there's no guess. And to see that where we were placing as Capricorn, Sagittarius, etc. Was not actually where the constellation was in the sky. And I'm like, wait, how are we pretending. And from what I've understood is that Vedic astrology is one of the eldest. And around a little over 2,000 years ago, when the Vedic astrologers met the Greek astrologers, they were exchanging information and they gave their maps of where the constellations were in the skies, and the Greeks had recorded them. However, what they missed or was not understood was that the Earth shifts in its axis very slightly every single year. So today, the Earth shifts in its axis is around, I think it's like 23.6 maybe, you know, the specific degree that it's shifted in the past 23 years. And that is why our actual where they actually are in the sky is about 23 degrees behind where we think that they are. So, for example, in Western astrology, I am a Capricorn as my sun sign. But in Vedic astrology, and where the sun actually was when I was born in the sky, it was actually in Sagittarius. And I think that this is very important to note that the Earth does shift in its axis, because we in Western astrology are operating from the constellations 2,000 years ago, which is not the actual constellations of today.

You summarized that so beautifully. I'm going to have to have you on my podcast and say that all again.

And I think a lot of people get defensive when this conversation comes up because it's not to discount Western astrology. I still follow many Western astrologers, and I'm like, subscribe to an app that gives me my Western astrology. And I do. And it's like, I really think it's the astrologer at the end of the day and how they intuitively perceive the information. And I know Western astrology is a little bit more harvest oriented, more focused on the sun. It's a little bit more micro, whereas Vedic astrology is a little bit more macro. It's focused more on the constellations and more of the galaxy. So, you know, like, there is definitely a lot of truth that can be gained from Western astrology. I think it's just important to note that what you might think is your sun sign or moon sign or rising sign, that's not actually where those planets, those constellations were when you were born.

Yeah, exactly. Yeah. And so, I mean, if people want to test it out, like today, it's November 22, 2022. I'm not sure when this is going to be publishing, but when you hold, like you were saying, a star app up to the sky, you would see that we're actually in Scorpio season And so in Western astrology, they're kind of wrapping up Scorpio season. But in sidereal astrology, we're just getting started, and we can see that given the true placement of the planets. And I also really love what you said about at the end of the day, at being the astrologer, because even though I do view astrology as a science, it is inherently spiritual, and there is a very intuitive spiritual nuance to it. And so I do believe that we can find so much value and beauty through so many different systems and modalities. So I love that you said that.

Absolutely. And at the end of the day, it's whatever serves you, whatever empowers you and helps you. So I'm curious, in your perception, when you work with clients, and they may have always been told their sign was what it has been in Western astrology since they were reading Cosmo magazine. Like, we're very, you know, focused on the zodiacs, right? And then they learn about their Vedic astrological signs. What's the typical reaction that you see?

It varies. To be completely honest with you, the vast majority of people are like, this makes so much sense. The vast majority of clients that I get are amazed at how much the Vedic chart resonates with them. And other times, people will come and they'll be like, man. But I feel like a Libra. This entire time, I've resonated with Libra, and I'm like, well, guess what? In Vedic astrology, your moon is in Libra. It may not be the sun, but maybe your moon is in Libra, or your Venus is in Libra, your Lagnesha is in Libra. Usually something else in the chart that is going to resonate with the clients, or it's going to kind of show that same energy that they were connecting with in Western. So they really do reflect one another. And I've always found that interesting. I've never had a client say that they've, like, felt like a Leo their entire life. And then when we look at their chart, there's no Leo. There's usually always that sign that people are resonating with. Their intuition is usually always correct, if that makes sense.

Isn't that amazing how the signs that are for you will always find their way to you, Right? Because it's like, for example, in my Western chart, my rising is Sagittarius, which the rising sign changes, I believe, every two hours, Right? So it's like, what are the odds that my rising sign would be Sagittarius? But then in my Vedic chart, My sun and my moon are Sagittarius. So it's like that SAG needed to find me anyway. And when I first learned about Vedic, I was like, well, I definitely see the Capricorn because I'm a very hard working person and I create a lot of things. But I still had like five planets in Capricorn in my Vedic chart as well. So it's like, it's still gonna show up. It's just going to be a little bit different. However, I never felt. That's why I honestly never really looked into astrology until interviewing an astrologer on this podcast. Because I never felt like the Capricorn definition that I would read about that was very, just like organized, like Miranda from Sex and the City vibes like super Type A. And I'm like, I am so not that person. I'm always asking what is the truth? And I love to travel. And so the SAG made so much more sense to me. But I feel like in the Western world I have more of my Western chart. Like in the Western world I can be that Capricorn, but my true self is more of my Vedic chart.

Wow, that is such an interesting reflection. Yeah. And I have two things to say. First of all, with my Western chart, growing up, I never resonated with my Western sign at all. And I was so interested in why, because I could see that there were patterns.

What was your Western?

I don't ever talk about my chart. Okay, Secret. Yeah, I'm sorry, but I never resonated with it. But I saw synchronicities and patterns, so I knew that there was something to astrology, but I was like. And then I looked up my natal chart in high school and it made even less sense. And I was like, this doesn't make. And then as soon as I saw my Vedic chart, I was like, everything makes sense. And I didn't have any of the same placements from Western. So you'll see people like you where you find the overlap and you're like, okay, I can relate with both. And I see the crossover. But for me, that sun sign that I would have had in Western I didn't connect with at all. And I have no planets in that sign in Vedic, so it's interesting to see both. And then the other thing that I wanted to note is that from. Well, I don't want to say, I don't want to pigeonhole Western astrology necessarily, but I think that we as a collective have a tendency to approach astrology with the mindset of what comprises My personality and what comprises my different traits. And when we really look at what we're doing with Vedic astrology, we're looking at a karmic blueprint. It's like a genetic map of our karmas, of what we've done in past lifetimes, what we're here to experience in this lifetime, and perhaps where we're headed in the future if we're not reconciling, learning and evolving. So it goes well beyond just the personality or personality qualities. It's really what we're intended to learn and experience in this lifetime.

So I definitely want to get into looking at past lives in our Vedic chart. So we're pinning that because we're coming back to it. But I want to talk about the significance of your rising sign in Vedic astrology, Because I remember in India they told me, people were asking me, what's my sign? I would tell them my sun sign. And they're like, no, we're asking about your rising sign. I'm like, like, why am I rising? Because it's like almost like in Western. No one really talks about that. They're like, well that's the one that matters to us. Cause it's like how you're gonna interact with us. So I would love to hear more about the importance of each and every one because I feel like in the western world it's very sun sign focused.

Yeah. And I love that you brought that up. And so Western astrology as we know is a solar based system. So if we know your birthday, we can know your sign. Vedic astrology is a lunar based system, which means the moon sign is actually way more important than the sun. And I like this about Vedic astrology, Jyotish, because the moon changes signs once every two and a half days, whereas the sun is an entire month and the rising sign is every two and a half hours. So we're getting more and more specific and precise when we look at where the moon was when you were born and then what your rising sign is. So I do want to point that out as well, is that when we get into those quicker moving planets, we can learn so much more about an individual in an interpersonal, personal way. It's not as broad scope as an entire month. And so the rising sign sets up the entire path of somebody's life. And it has so much to do with who we are at our core. And so earlier I love what you said when you were like, it really is like, it's who I am. You know what I mean? Like at a base level and the way that I like to think about it is that the rising sign is who we are untouched. Untouched by the influence of our mother, the influence of our father, the influence of society. It's who we are when we really come into this world and when we strip away the layers. And as I mentioned, it does set up the path of our life, which is, of course, very significant. The moon in Vedic astrology has to do with our mind, our emotional way of approaching things. How I like to describe it is that the sun is who we see when we're, like, walking out in public or when we're speaking or when we're at work. The moon is who we are when we're with friends. Friends. It's who we are when we're with family. So it's that more emotional approach. And again, kind of how we think and feel about things. It does have a lot to do with our personality as well. The sun is more of that ego and what shines to the world and what people kind of perceive at first glance. And so some people, like you, you have moon and sun in the same sign. So who people see is exactly what you're putting out there. People are going to know exactly what you're thinking and feeling. You're going to have your opinions.

And I always get that feedback. They're like, you're exactly how you show yourself to be online. I'm like, isn't everyone? But I guess some people maybe aren't even designed to be that way.

No, not at all. Some people are designed to have secret lives. But of course, you are a Scorpio rising. Right? So there is this very deep, mystical, kind of hidden inner world that you may experience. But for the most part, when it comes to your public life and who you are with other people, it's going to be really consistent, I'd imagine.

It's like my whole career has just been around sharing what I'm personally going through. So maybe that's because my sun and my moon have been in the same sign. And in fact, it's been sharing my more metaphysical and spiritual and philosophical self, which is in that Sagittarius energy. So it makes total sense. And I think that what you just said is really important to differentiate, because in Western astrology, we hear a lot about how your rising sign is that first impression that people get of you, whereas your moon sign is like your emotional self and your sun sign is like your more innermost self. But now the definitions are a little bit different in Vedic astrology with you saying that you're moon sign is more who you are, not just emotionally, but also mentally. Your sun sign is more of maybe how you come off to other people and your ego self and then your rising sign really having a lot of your truth in you. So it's like a total paradigm shift in even the way that we see these things.

Yeah, it is for sure. And I do wanna say, you know, the sun, it does have a lot to do with our soul and what our soul's focus is going to be. And so the sun definitely has a lot of depth to it. But I think that you summarized it.

All perfectly, so fascinating. Okay, so let's talk about past lives, because we love talking about past lives on this podcast. And I asked you when you were looking at my chart, I was like, could you tell what was one of my more recent past lives? And you were. And it's always the same thing that every astrologer says. So what are you looking for when you're looking at that?

Yeah, well, what I always like to remind people of because sometimes I'll sit down with a client and they'll be like, I want to see like karma. Like, what is the karma? And the truth is that the entire chart is karma. Right. It's like you are a Sagittarius because you were intended to share about philosophy and spirituality and truth and knowledge in this lifetime. And that's just your moon and sun. Right. So we can gain insight on what someone's karmic indicators are with anything in the birth chart. But the two main indicators of karma are going to be Rahu and Ketu. And so Rahu and Ketu are the south node and the north node. And in Vedic astrology they take on different meanings. From what I understand is that the north node being Rahu, there are nuances of difference, so they indicate different things. So Rahu is going to indicate a forward moving energy, something in our life that is going to be insatiable, that we have to move for it's going to be obsessive. And for you, like we talked about, it's like writing and, and expression and creativity and media and like creating beautiful things. And so that's just like this impulse that you have to do. It's part of your karma. No one can hold it against you. You've got to do it. And Ketu is what we've achieved many lives before. It's almost an area of mastery. But of course, if we had mastered it, we may not be incarnated again. So we didn't fully complete it, because we're here, but it's an area where we, we spent a lot of time investing time in and investing resources in. And so wherever Ketu is in your chart, it's going to indicate this area of life that just comes really naturally. You're going to have natural skills. But what's interesting, because we're talking about previous lives, is that often where Ketu is placed, it may always feel like something is kind of missing. And the way that I like to rationalize that is it's like we're trying to remember, but we can't quite remember because it was a previous lifetime. So we're always trying to put our finger on it. And so it's a really interesting. They're very fascinating placements to look at and assess. And for you, do you mind if I share a little bit about your chart? I know I've been sharing. I should have asked for permission.

Yes, you can share.

Yeah. But for you, right, Like, Ketu is in the ninth house. So it's philosophy, spirituality, teaching, being a guide. But you also have some placements that show this desire to revelation, revolutionize and modernize and kind of blaze your own path.

So my Rahu and Ketu are in this. Are in the same place.

Your Rahu is in the third, and your Ketu is in the ninth house. In the ninth house. Thank you for asking that. The ninth house is the house of.

I'm, like, destined to my karma is my dharma.

What does it mean? No, so that's a great. That's a really great thing to bring up. So. So what's amazing about Rahu and Ketu is that they are always seven signs apart. They can't be in the same house. They're always going to be transiting seven signs apart, which creates this interesting dichotomy of energy between the two.

Just like in Western astrology, your north node and south node are always opposite signs. So like six signs different. So your Ketu then is where more of that karma past life energy is. And so because mine is in the ninth house, you said it's also about spirituality and philosophy.

Yeah. And that's what we were coming to about those past lives that you've had. You know, it's like you've been a teacher, you've been a guide, you've been invested in truth and tradition. Right. Like you've done tradition. So now it's no time for tradition anymore. You're wanting something else. Right. So Ketu, it can also create almost a disconnect as well. Not all the time we need to see the chart. But Ketu is the great separator. It completes an energy so that we can move beyond it. So it's a separator, but it's also the liberator. Ketu is, is Moksha Karka. Karka means significator of. And moksha, as you, I'm sure, have taught on this podcast many times. Moksha is liberation, freedom from material reality. So Ketu's job is to help us transcend and release ourselves from the cycle of death and rebirth. It's the only planet that truly wants to separate us. All of the other planets, attach us to what's beautiful and what's shiny and what makes us money and we. What gets us a good partner and all of that good stuff. Right. K2 is the only one that's disinterested. It's only focused on moksha. So wherever it is, it can help us complete that cycle of energy so that we don't need to complete it in previous or in future lifetimes.

So if someone's listening to this, how can they find where Rahu and Ketu are in their chart?

They can go to a chart calculator. If they want to use my chart calculator, I have a free one on my website. It's Innernowing Yoga. And then you would go to offerings and then chart. And I actually have a bunch of resources there as well for people to learn more about Vedic astrology in their own chart. But if they go to that chart calculator, wherever they see ke, that's going to be K2 and that's going to be the house that their K2 is placed in.

So because the houses are a little bit differently, how do you suggest they understand what does that house now represent?

That's a great question. And again, I feel like this is shameless self promotion and I'm not intending it to be, but if you go to my website.

No, we want to use your resources, girl.

Yeah, if you go to my website, I have a video linked there that teaches you how to read your chart. And then I have playlists available. So if you see that the KE is placed in the first house, you can listen to the house playlist and what the first house represents. So I have a house playlist. So you can find your K2 and then whichever house it's in, you can listen to that, that playlist on Spotify and you can learn all about that house and what it represents.

Amazing. And I think it's super helpful to learn about all of the different houses. Because then you can look at your whole chart and say, oh my, Jupiter is in the seventh house, etc is in this house. And understand, just like if you were reading a Western chart, you could start to read your Vedic chart and understand what each of these things represent. So I highly recommend looking into it.

Yeah, absolutely.

Yes. So another thing I really would love for you to touch on that's very unique in Vedic astrology is that we are all born in a continuum of this 150 year period where there's different planets for certain numbers of years and you're born somewhere in this timeline. So someone might have been born in their Venus period, someone might have been born in the Rahu period, someone might have been born in the Ketu period, Jupiter period, Saturn period, and going to go through their lifetime. It's all the same order. But for example, I was born in my Venus period, so there might be some periods out of these 150 years that I might not experience in this lifetime. Whereas my friend, he was born in his Rahu period, so he's now stepping into his Saturn, which I'm not even going to step into until I'm in my 70s. So can you share a little bit about these timeline journeys that we're on?

I would love to. And I do want to say you were actually born in the Ketu period.

Oh, when I looked at my chart, it said, oh my, it was the last year.

Maybe it would have been the last year because your moon is in Mula and Mula is the galactic center. It's one of the most spiritual portions of the sky. Right. And we just talked all about Ketu and that mysticism and that spiritual component. And so people who were born and the Ketu Dasha tend to be very mystical. So I just wanted to catch you. And then you stepped into Venus so you didn't have to spend much time in Ketu.

Got it. When I was looking at it, I was like, oh, it seems like it's all Venus at the beginning. But yes, you're right. I got the very last year of Ketu and then was like, bye Ketu, I'm going into Venus now.

Yeah, yeah. And so what you're referring to is the Dasha period. And this is something that is completely unique to Vedic astrology and I always like to share that. It's like, I mean, obviously Vedic astrology is my heart and soul. I try to brag on it as much as possible. We've got the divisional charts, we've got the Dasha system, we have so much that's so valuable in making predictions. Specifically Vedic astrology excels in prediction because of these different tools. And so the dasha system is planetary periods that we move through throughout our life. And earlier I referred to the system of astrology being lunar based. The entire cycle of dashas is determined upon the placement of your moon at birth. So whatever moon sign your moon was in, the ruler of that sign is going to set into motion the dashas and you know, then we could get into the Nakshatras and what they mean. But I'll try to stay on topic. And so the dashas are going to be like you were mentioning Ketu, Venus. Then we would move into the sun, the moon, Mars, Rahu, et cetera, all of the planets. And the dasha system is based on the assumption that we have a 120 year life. We would have to have a 120 year lifespan in order to experience all of the dasha cycles. Obviously most of us don't have that. Like you were saying, it's like you're going to be experiencing your rahu dasha much later in life depending upon the dasha we're in. It's going to flavor what is happening in our life now. And so for example Venus. Venus is easy. Venus could be beauty getting in touch with our own personal style. It could represent relationships and it's going to emphasize where Venus is placed in our birth chart. Wherever Venus is placed, that house, that sign, any conjunctions with Venus are going to come to life. And so to really benefit from the dashas we want to see the sign that the planet is in and the sign that the planet is in any conjunctions that it's with if the planet is very well placed. So for example, again if someone is going through a Venus asha their Venus is exalted in their first house. That's a beautiful period of time. You know, you'll probably experience a very fortunate period. If your Venus is debilitated and it's in the eighth house and it has negative aspects that could indicate a really challenging period of time that we would want to prescribe remedial measures for. And if anyone is listening and you have a debilitated Venus in the eighth, it doesn't always mean something bad is going to happen. You want to look deeper but I'm trying to give examples for it. But these dasha systems are going to help us navigate when periods of time are going to be auspicious. When should you have a meeting, when should you have your get togethers or Book publishing, When should you open a business? We would look at your dashas to figure that out. Similarly, when may there be a death? When may there be car accidents or health issues? We would refer to the dashas because events really cannot occur if the dasha does not allow it to. Dashas are what set into motion big events in life. It's very powerful.

I think that's so important to note because we all are experiencing life in our own timeline, and someone else might be in a different period. And it's so beautiful to look at your dashas throughout your life and look back and be like, oh, wow, the year that I moved from my moon to my Jupiter, this really significant thing happened. Or the year that I moved from this one to this one. And you always notice it's like a huge life change. And it's also fascinating too, because every single year of it, the dasha has a sub planet. So, for example, I think this year I'm in my moon dasha of period, which are each of them seven years. How long are each of these periods?

They all have different periods of time. So, like Venus is 20 years, the moon's gonna be 10. It just depends on the planet. There are some that are longer and then some that are shorter.

Got it. So in my own spiritual journey of really honoring the sacred feminine energy within me, I realized that we're not all the same, and we all have different pathways that we can take that I put together in creating five archetypes, which I call the Rose Gold Goddess archetypes. They are the Embodiment Queen, the Womb Whisperer, the Intuitive Oracle, the Expressionista, and the Joy Priestess. And I've put together a free quiz so you can find out what your unique combination are. So the Embodiment Queen is the person who's always in her body, dancing, moving, very connected to her nervous system. The Womb Whisperer always knows where she's at in her menstrual cycle and probably has a yoni steamer in her bathroom. The Intuitive oracle has three oracle card decks on them, a pendulum, and knows about their past lives. The Expressionista is creating art through everything, through singing, dancing, writing poetry. Everything for her is an opportunity to create art. And then we've got the Joy Priestess who wants to laugh, dance, and not take herself super seriously. You can find her doing karaoke at an improv class or twerking it on the dance floor.

And I've created custom graphics that you get in your results so you can share which rose gold goddess archetype you are. I'm super excited to see in Vedic astrology, do they tend to have this understanding of a Saturn return that they have in Western astrology that like around age 28 or 29, people will experience their first Saturn return? It happens throughout their lives or is it just depending on the dashas and when they're born in these periods?

That's a great question. That's a really good question. Yeah. So we do have a Saturn return, like with every planetary return. Right. Like if we have our birthday, that's a solar return return. Or we could have a Jupiter return every 12 years and then we'll have a Saturn return every, like you were saying, 28 to 30 years. But as you were mentioning with the dashas, we can also be going through a Saturn period. And so you are going through a Saturn sub period, which is great for you because you have a really well placed Saturn. So it's helping your business, it's helping anything in media, anything with publishing, it's supporting people who have a challenging Saturn. They may go through a Saturn sub period and it may not not have the same result. As you were saying. Is that helpful?

Yeah. So there are collective things that we experience such as overall Saturn returns, Jupiter returns, et cetera. But the emphasis more, I would say in Vedic astrology, or is it based on your dashas than these collective like, okay, everyone's gonna have a crazy Saturn return, which is sort of the understanding in Western astrology.

Yeah. So everyone has a Saturn return, but depending on where it's placed is going to determine the outcome. So if you have Saturn return in the seventh house of relationships and it's really strong, you may have a Saturn return where you're having breakups and you're really learning the reality of what commitment and intimacy means. And it may not be a lot of fun, but having Vedic astrology helps you understand what's happening and use that to the highest potential so that you can grow and evolve to the best of your ability. Because you know what's happening and you know when it's gonna be over, which is always very helpful with astrology. Other people, they may have a Saturn return in their first house. You know, Saturn may be exalted or in a friendly sign and that may be when they feel that they're stepping into Their power, that they're learning about the responsibility that they have in life, how they can show up as an authority figure, how they can take care of themselves better. So it really depends on the house that Saturn is in and most importantly, the d dignity, the sign that Saturn is in, how easy or how difficult it's going to be.

Is this something that we would be able to tell from our charts without being astrologers, like whether our Saturn is strong or weak?

That's a great question. It would probably take a little bit of researching. But if people are interested and they're looking, if Saturn is in Capricorn or Aquarius or Libra, that's a really good place for Saturn to be. If Saturn is in Aries, when someone was born, it's Saturn. It's technically debilitated. So sometimes that could give a little bit weaker of results. But for anyone listening right now, if they're around 30, 31, 32, they've just almost completed their Saturn return. So in Vedic astrology, Saturn has been in Capricorn since 2020. And so that's been Saturn return. For anyone who has Saturn in Capricorn in their birth chart In January of 2022, Saturn has completed its cycle in Capricorn. It's going to enter a. So if you're like 28 years old now, you'll be starting your Saturn return in January. Broad strokes.

So this is also important to note because in Vedic astrology your Saturn return is like five years long. Right.

So that's Sati Sati.

Okay. Because I remember this Vedic astrologer telling me it's like your Saturn return is like 28 to 30. It's like I'm still in it right.

Now, you know, that's for you. Yeah. So you're in Sati Sati right now because your moon is in Sag and you'll end Sati Sati in January. So you got your Sati Sati and Saturn return out of the way, which is awesome. In one transit. Some people aren't as lucky. Yeah. So Saturn return is a two and a half year period. What is Sati Sati Sati Sati is a seven and a half year period and that's when Saturn is transiting the sign before the sign of and the sign after your moon. So for you, because your moon is in Sagittarius when Saturn was in Scorpio, Sag and Capricorn, that's your sati. So you're done in January. So party, listen to your favorite music, invite people over, have a Blast. Yeah. And I want to use you as an example too here in a second. But anyone who has their moon in Capricorn, Aquarius or Pisces, they're going to be in Sari Sati come January. So Capricorn Aquarius and Pisces are in sati sati come January 2023.

So sati suti is a seven year period, correct?

Yes, approximately seven and a half years.

Okay. And how long does the Saturn return?

Two and a half years.

Okay, got it.

Yes. And it's because we're looking at the transit of Saturn. And so Saturn moves at a rate where it stays in a sign for two and a half years. And so if we're looking at the three signs.

Right.

We would just multiply it.

So beautiful.

Okay, good. But one final thing on Sadi Sati, because someone may be listening. They're look at their Vedic chart, they're going to see that they're in Sadi Sati, they've got their moon in Capricorn, Aquarius or Pisces, and then they're going to look it up online. And then it's going to be like the WebMD of astrology. You look up Sari Sati and then all of a sudden you're going to be terrified and it's going to be this horrible moment. Don't look up Sati Sati online. Sarai Sati is a period where you have the opportunity to master something. And there usually are challenges. There's usually layers that are stripped away. There's usually new responsibilities that we have to take on. But it's also a profound opportunity again to master, to step into our power and to become an authority in some way. You are finishing Sati Sati and you are having, from what it seems like, it seems that your career is going really well. It seems that you're really expanding with your spiritual life and your spiritual philosophy. It doesn't seem that your entire life crumbled. I'm sure in the last seven and a half years a lot changed. But I'm sure that you feel more in alignment and more in touch with yourself now than you did in the previous seven and a half years. Years.

The past seven years have been the most life changing of my entire life. I mean, I wrote all of my books. I healed so much. I created this podcast and Rose Gold Goddesses and Dharma Coaching Institute. And like everything that I have in my life, even I met my husband exactly seven years ago. So it's like every single thing I have in my life has been created in this Sarasati period. So if you're in it, it's going to be a good time.

Don't worry. Yeah, but you handled it so well. You use discipline and commitment. And Saturn is about discipline, commitment, and responsibility. So if you have a good Saturn in your chart, it's usually not a problem because you're like, saturn, discipline, commitment. I've got this step back. Right. But if we struggle with that, it might be a little bit more difficult. So if we're stepping into that period, just remember that the more serious we are and the more committed we are and structured how we plan long term. If we're envisioning things for the long term, we don't expect things to come naturally or easily. It's going to be just fine. Writing books is not easy. No, creating a business is not easy.

Right, exactly. And I think that our greatest work comes from facing our obstacles head on and understanding what the lessons are. And I think sometimes in the very commercial astrology, we're like, oh, no, Mercury retrograde. And we make ourselves victim to what's happening in the skies. But the truth is, every everything is here to serve us. And you can take anything, whether it's the Mercury retrograde or your Saturn return or the Sara Sati or whatever else it is, and use it as a catalyst for your Dharma. And ultimately, that's what it's there for.

Perfect.

So let's talk about 2023. You're going to do a whole goddess circle in rose gold goddesses, which we're so excited to do to start the year. But I would love for you to share, what are you. What are the things, the main themes that you have kind of been looking at for the year ahead?

Yeah. So we do have some pretty significant shifts coming up on the horizon, as I'm sure you know. And unfortunately, we're American, I'm American, and so I spend a lot of time looking at the U.S. chart. And so sometimes people in Europe or other countries, they're like, you know, what about our charts? And I totally get that. But the USA does have a profound impact on the globe, and so I try to remind people of that. And so typically when I'm looking, looking at the years to come, I spend time looking at the planetary transits collectively, but then also, of course, in relationship to the US and what's going to be happening with US politics and all of that. And so since, oh, man, I don't remember when I started my podcast. I think it was 2018, but I've been talking about this. For a long time I've been looking at Pluto return for the United States. And so I think that this is like the most notable event. And Pluto entered capricorn born in 2020, which is where it's placed in the chart of the United States. And we're going to have an exact Pluto return in 2024. So that's not next year, but it's the year after. And I always like to remind people that we're looking at the long game.

Which is election year.

It is election year. Man, I could go into that. I've been looking at it, but it's going to be an interesting election. I created a post on this, just kind of breaking down what's going to be happening for the US it's going to be a very interesting ride. I don even know if we need astrology to tell us that at this point. But next year, though, we're going to be moving towards this Pluto return. And Pluto is the planet of death and rebirth. And it's the planet that breaks things down so that it can rebuild. The beautiful thing about Pluto is that it does promise a rebirth. Right. And so we have to keep that in mind. This is the first Pluto return that the USA has ever experienced and ever. So we're kind of on unchartered territories. And usually what we do in astrology to figure out how the planets may act or what may be created is we go back in time and we look at what was happening. And so when the US Was built, it was a time of revolution, it was a time of free thinking. It was a time of people not wanting to go with the status quo or what was being kind of held. And of course, the history of the US is profoundly complicated, and we could get into that as well. Right. But I do think that with Pluto return, a lot of what the US has been built off of is going to come to light. There's going to be more and more recognition, there's going to be more truth revealed. And I think that there's going to be a call for there to be greater equality, status and power being perceived differently and distributed differently. So I think it'll be a really interesting time. It'll also be interesting for the economy, currency, structures of government, because Capricorn, the sign of Capricorn, is all about economy, currency, structures, how things are maintained. So as Pluto moves through Capricorn, I think that we can expect to see profound transition in those areas. And again, that'll be be more into 2024, but it's beginning in 2023, Pluto's going to get closer and closer to those natal degree points. So that's a little bit about Pluto. I do think that we have a lot of change on the horizon for the United States in 2023. In addition to the Pluto transit, we're also going to see Saturn move into the sign of Aquarius. And so we've been talking about Saturn. Saturn will be in Aquarius for two and a half years, years. And Aquarius is a much different energy than Capricorn, where Saturn had previously been transiting. There are a few things to think about with this. Aquarius is the sign of humanity. It is the sign of humanitarian efforts, collective energy coming together, power to the people. That's what Aquarius is. But it's also very revolutionary. It doesn't like to be confined by ideals or titles, you know, definitions. It always likes to question, well, what's beyond that? How can I view things differently? And so I do think that America specifically and probably around the world, we will see groups of people come together to strive for power and influence that is outside of traditional structures of power, if that makes sense. I think that we'll see more people coming together, revolutionary movements, maybe even rebellious movements. When I was doing research on this the last couple of times that Saturn was in Aquarius, there was a lot of revolution and rebellion around the world. And it wasn't always positive, it wasn't always peaceful. So I don't want to paint this picture that it's going to be like this humanitarian movement necessarily. I think that there will be groups of people wanting power outside of the systems, for better or for worse. What's interesting for the United States is that the USA is actually in Sati Suti. So the USA's moon is in the sign of Aquarius. So this two and a half year period, we're kind of in the thick of sati suti together here in the United States, which I think is going to put a lot of responsibility on the United States. I think that we're going to really be trying to work to get things together, work to get things under control. I think that there's going to definitely be a lot shifting in terms of politics and law and yeah, I think it'll be interesting. I can just keep going, but I want to give you a chance. I can just keep rattling on all day.

We are, we're here for it. We're taking notes. It sounds like it's going to have similar themes to some of the 2020 movements. Is it like what was the difference of what was happening in 2020 as opposed to 2023?

Beautiful. I'm so glad that you asked. So in 2020, this was when Pluto entered Capricorn, and it was also when Saturn entered Capricorn. And so that was such a profound period of time because this was when we really started seeing collectively how implicit bias works, right? How systems have been constructed in a way that's unfair, unjust, unethical, you know, how power is distributed amongst people. This was when. When the George Floyd occurrence happened. This was when so much was revealed. And as I mentioned, racism, implicit bias. So much came up with women and women's rights, women's related issues. All of this is related to systems of government. And that's what Capricorn is all about. It's the systems that uphold us, things that are ingrained in our mind, whether we're aware of it or not. Right? Paradigm construction, but then also societal construction. And so Saturn came in and it kind of broke down any illusion or anything that may have needed to be seen. It revealed a lot of corruption in so many ways. Even the Ghislaine Maxwell and that entire thing coming to light and us being like, whoa, wait a second, these people in power are super corrupt, right? So Saturn and Pluto together in Capricorn really kind of broke that down. Now Saturn's getting ready to go to Aquarius, where it's like, okay, we've got this information. What are we gonna do about it? How are we gonna change things? How are we going to make things more fair and more equal? So I think that once things shift into Aquarius, once Saturn shifts into Aquarius, I think that we're going to see so much more call to action and organization. And that's kind of what I was alluding to earlier, where I think that there will be. There's a lot happening in Aries as well, which makes me say this. I think that there will be a of lot with rebellious tendencies, people being like, really pushing back against the government, really calling for what they believe is fair and just. And we may even see new movements and people coming together to formulate new groups to create change.

Specifically, do you have any advice astrologically for us how to navigate these things? You know, like, is this the year about, like, going out there and fighting for your rights and being on the street? Is this the year to, like, step back and witness and not react too quickly, to witness potential, like, you know, lies that are being shared? How do we navigate what's happening collectively?

Wow, that's Amazing. That's such a great question. And something that I did want to mention was being mindful of, like, false prophets. There may be people coming into power or people presenting themselves as teachers or leaders. We need to be really mindful of who we accept as leaders and teachers this year. So that's something to be really mindful of. And it could even be a time of tapping into the heart. I'm a huge proponent of teachers. I think that having guides and teachers and people to learn from is very important. And I also think that this concept of discernment, it's the compass of the heart, it's what keeps us out of trouble. And so I think that tapping into our inner discernment and our inner guide and what feels good for us and really evaluating who our leaders are, who our teachers are, do they really exhibit and instill the qualities that we want to have in ourselves? Not trying to just follow anything blindly, really trying to keep that at the forefront. But then with some, you know, in regards to some of the other things that we were discussing, I think that for some people, their dharma is to create change. Their dharma is to be out in the streets promoting what they believe in. And for each individual, they get to decide for themselves what dharma is, is. But Dharma specifically was what I wanted to talk about with Saturn in Aquarius. Because Saturn in Aquarius is all about revolution. And I think that collectively, we get really disconnected to what our Dharma is and our Dharma. How I've been taught Dharma is what Dharma is for me. And what I've been taught is that it is our natural skill set. What we're good at naturally, what we resonate with, what makes our heart sing. But also what's best for the greater good for the most amount of people. How does it help? How does it support? Saturn in Aquarius is all about serving humanity. And we serve humanity when we're doing what makes our heart sing, when we're using our natural skillset, when we are working to serve and support. And so I think that that's something that we collectively can do. I think that we get so disconnected from our own power when we speak, spend so much time watching media or absorbing certain messages. It can be very harmful and disempowering to the reality of who we are and what we can do. We really have the power to create the life that we want for ourselves. And also to change the lives of everyone we come into contact with on a daily basis. We can change the world with how we choose to operate and how we choose to Act. And when we're acting in alignment with Dharma, that's the first step that we can do to change the world, in my opinion.

I think this is so important that you said. Because there is a difference between living your dharma, which, how I always say it, similar to how you were taught it. It's your highest form of joy with your highest form of service. There is a difference between that and following whatever political leader claims is going to bring change. And I see a lot of people take their activism around, vote for this person, because that's going to be the person who's all of our. Going to bring all of our solutions, that person. And they're fighting, is it this one or is it that one? And it's neither, because the whole system is fucked. The whole system. If you even made it to the top of the system, you have already essentially sold your soul. Like, you are not living in integrity because you can't. It's. The sad truth is you can't even make it in such a corrupt system without becoming corrupt. And this is not just the US Government. This is almost all governments in the world at this point. So when you're living your dharma, you're of service. But it might not even be a topic that's on the ballads, you know, because they keep pushing the same topics to us every single year because they know those are the topics that we'll all fight about. You know, we'll all fight about pro choice versus pro life. We'll all fight about gay marriage. We'll all fight about these things. So instead of, you know, it's important to pass these laws and, you know, we were chatting about how the women's rights movement is happening, not just in the US and around the world, however, like, let's put our energy towards the actual grassroots organizations that are helping these very causes. And then the so many other causes that never get mentioned in the ballads, such as the many people dying of malaria today, such as the many women who have, like, no rights around the world, such as human trafficking, Such as, you know, there's. There's so many different issues out there, and it's important for us to realize that each and every one of us is here to be our own unique solution to a world's problem. Rather than band against this one person and give up our sovereignty, you know, thinking that this one person is gonna be the answer when if we haven't learned our lesson at this point, no politician is going to save us, right?

Man, I got chills listening to you. I agree with Everything that you said wholeheartedly and we are dismantled when we're in fe fear and the opposite, right, the opposite of what we're doing. If we're trying to observe mindfulness, if we're trying to evolve, if we're on this path of self discovery, it's like yoga is to yoke, it's to come together, it's union and it's finding commonality and connection. And so when we're in fear and when we're damning one another and just so gung ho on being better or knowing more or being right, it's creating chaos amongst the solution. Because like you were saying, we're the solution. If we come together, if we find commonality, if we work to understand one another, most of the time we find that we probably have more in common than we thought. There are exceptions to that for sure, but the vast majority of us, I feel like, are actually kind of like in the middle, you know what I mean? Most of us are pretty reasonable people. And again, it's just, I think that the media and I think that what's happening right now, it does such a great job job at causing us to view each other as the problem, when really coming together is actually the solution. And that's what Aquarius is all about. It's humanity coming together to kind of form that power. And I really do hope that we as individuals can harness that for the betterment. Because the solution is not buying into a corrupt system that has been perpetuating inequality for however long. Like you were saying, nothing has fundamentally changed right now. And hopefully we're working towards fundamental change, but we need to be able to see clearly.

I'm curious in Vedic astrology because in a lot of the gene keys in human design, which is based more on Western astrology with I Ching, they talk about how we're in this shift between 2020 to 2027 that the illusions are coming to surface. And the kind of threshold of this is 2024, where it's going to be the height of it. So it's like destruction of the old world from 2020 to 2024. And then 2024 we start kind of the reconstruction of this new paradigm which we will enter into in 2027. I'm curious if these dates are significant in Vedic astrology as well?

Yeah, it's really interesting. I think that there is a lot of change to come. I think that it's going to take a while. I don't know if it' syou know, it may take a few years. But the dates that are incredibly significant to me is the 2024, where they're saying that this is kind of the pinnacle where a maybe there's some more difficulty, challenges, maybe some chaos happening. That's the exact year of the Pluto return for the United States. And so to me, I think it aligns and makes a lot of sense. And what I try to remind people about all the time is that for change to occur, big events have to happen. And so if we want a different world, if we want things to function different, differently, there has to be a lot of really big events in order for that to happen. You know, we're not just going to slide easily from one thing into the next. It's going to have to take a lot of work and there's going to have to be a lot of uncomfortable change. And I think we're kind of preparing for that. And the years make sense to me with the human design dates.

Absolutely. Sometimes we have to hit rock bottom. You have to experience the karma to turn your wheels over and then move towards your dharma. And that that's when you experience the kriya, the flow, and then sometimes the collective karma as well. Of like all of the ways that we collectively have not been listening, all the ways our government has not been listening, all of the ways that we haven't been listening to Earth, to humanity. I think this is all continuing to bubble up and bubble up. And with 2024 maybe being that threshing point, it's like, how beautiful. It's not that far away until we can finally take just like pull off the band aid and see it headfirst and we can start to rebuild from there. I'm curious. My prediction is that we're not even going to have this government structure anymore. This one president at top, two party system, the electoral versus the popular vote, it's not working. No one feels heard on either side. The moment that any progression of change is being made, we typically flip flop or whether it's the president or the Senate to the other side. So then they block that change. So it's like there's no change being made. There's so much bureaucracy, which is why I left working in nonprofit organizations, which is what I used to work in. And then the change makers like myself, yourself, a lot of the people listening don't want to be involved in government. We don't want to be involved in these nonprofits because we're like, our energy isn't going anywhere. There's just so much red tape and so, so Much corruption happening. So I think that we are at the end of this system and it's no longer serving us. And I don't know, everything that it could look like. Maybe we're gonna go a little bit more local. I could see a timeline where maybe the US Splits apart and there are maybe there's like, the coastal US Is like one country, and then the middle of the U.S. i don't know. Because then you have places like Austin, where you live, that maybe would go.

More with coastal help. Yeah, yeah.

But I do feel there's going to be some form of shift in our governmental structure. And that also might be related to moving out of the Capricorn into the Aquarius of, like, let's dream up a new way that we can actually have governments that work for the people, which is what they were created before.

Right. Public servants, right?

Yes. Not public thieves.

It doesn't feel like that anymore amongst astrologers, because all of us get together and kind of, you know, share ideas and look at things. The vast majority of us think that there is going to be a huge systemic change like you've been describing. And it's like, I could be wrong. You know, I've been wrong before. It's not impossible. I just. I really do think, think with this Pluto return that a lot is going to change. And I did research on Pluto returns as well. I created a post on that for Portugal and just gave some examples of what that can look like in terms of people calling for change and people wanting a difference. I mean, I don't know if this is gonna happen in the US Specifically, but, like, overthrowing the government, you know what I mean? Like forming coups.

I heard the collapse of Rome was during their Pluto return.

Oh, really?

I think they've had several potential Pluto returns because it was a very long civilization.

Yeah, you should look that up. I'll look into it. I haven't done Rome, but I don't doubt that at all. I mean, it's a very Pluto thing. And so all of that to say being that this is the first time we've ever had a Pluto return, just given what we've seen since 2020 already, the amount of change that's occurred and what's been happening and what people have been talking about and the division that's been occurring, I would not be super surprised if there was one of these very big, big fundamental shifts that changes the United States.

Yes. And while that can be scary, it's the only way that we can have a better reality is to Let go of this former one that we just know isn't serving us. It's like right now in Iran, where my family's from there first it began with protests and now it's like a full blown revolution against the government. And the scary thing is, well then who's going to be be in power after? And we don't know. But what we know is that this government is not serving anyone right now. And the only way that we can even begin to have the conversation of what comes next is to release ourselves from the suppression that we're under so we can even legally have a conversation around it. So I think that oftentimes we like clutch onto what is known, even though what is known is like you're in a zoo. You know, you might know every single little quarter of your zoo, but like you're supposed to be out, out in your jungle in your natural habitat. And you can only do that if you first escape the zoo.

Yeah, no, exactly, I agree. And something also that I try to remind people is like this dance of Shiva, right? We're approaching all of this from a Vedic perspective and we have the three main gods of Vishnu, Brahma and Shiva. And so Brahma is creating, Vishnu is sustaining, and Shiva is destroying. Destroying, destruction and change. And transformation is an innate part of being alive. It's a byproduct of being on earth. And when we look back historically, things have always changed, things have never stayed the same. This is a natural metamorphosis. And so I just try to remind people of that. It's nothing that's not supposed to happen. It's nothing that's too catastrophic necessarily. Like there's going to be change, but it's a natural part of life. We've seen this across occur throughout history, over and over and over again. It's nothing that we can't move through.

And that's the beauty of astrology, because it's always changing. There is never gonna be a period of time ever. Like even if we zoom out and we look at the Yugas, which are these thousand year long periods of times. I'm curious your take. Just as we wrap this conversation up, people talk about how we are in Kali Yuga, which is the time, time of darkness. And some Vedic astrologers say we have actually left Kali Yuga. Now we're in Satyuga, which is the age of truth. And some say that we actually have like 1500 years left of Kali Yuga because I guess the dates are not really agreed upon. I'm curious if you've heard about this and what your perspective is.

Yeah, that's great. That's so fascinating. I've been taught that we're in Kali Yuga. So from my perspective, we are in Kali Yuga Yuga. And Kali Yuga is a time of destruction. And we kind of can lose our compass and lose touch with what's real. We kind of fall deeper into Maya or the illusionary quality of material reality. And I do think that we're kind of in a time where talking earlier about false prophets. Right. We're in a time where we can become very easily confused on what is real and what truth is. And there's still a lot that distracts us from really deep meaning and really deep purpose and alignment. And I think that we are at this really cool juncture of time. You know, maybe we're. I don't know, maybe we are near the end. I'm not sure. But I think that we're at this really cool juncture of time where there is this uprising of people who are wanting to heal and wanting to share real, authentic knowledge and really focus on. On what truly matters at the end of the day and from a more spiritual perspective and a more enlightened, broad perspective. And so I think that we are at this juncture point where things will start changing in terms of our consciousness and what we're able to perceive and conceive of. But when we look at the vast majority of the population, I think that a lot of the world is still struggling to have the resources, have the time, whatever it may be, to connect to that higher plane.

Plane, Absolutely. And how beautiful that even in the time of Kal, the time of darkness and destruction, that we're able to have conversations like this. And that we may be the first generation to now be moving into sat. Into truth and philosophy and understanding. And what a privilege to be born and choose to incarnate at this time, that we are literally setting up the foundation for this beautiful golden era to come.

That is such a beautiful thing to say and for everyone listening. What an amazing life that we chose to be interested in higher thought and to have the time and to have the resources and the accessibility to access beautiful leaders like yourself and other amazing teachers and people who can help broaden our perspective and consciousness. It's like, it's such a blessing and it's such a boon. And it's there for, therefore, our responsibility to help share that light with other people. And it's back to that Dharma. Right? Like all of us have the ability to teach something and to share something, to show love and gentleness and to hold the space of perspective for people who have differences. And so we have the ability to bring that opportunity to everyone we come into contact with. And it's an honor. And it's also, in my opinion, a responsibility, but it's the most beautiful and reward. Rewarding responsibility we can get.
