Vedic astrology, or Jyotish—the ancient Indian ‘science of light’—is a way to understand more clearly the why, how and what may be of your life experience.
It provides a framework for aligning with universal forces—to engage in the momentum of reality—so you can feel more ease in any circumstance and discern the blessing of each outcome.
Jyotish, also known as Vedic astrology, is an ancient science of the Indian tradition. It guides us to understand the karmas that are playing out in our lives and how to align with the greater whole of reality, because:
As above, so below…
As in the whole, so in the fraction…
As in the infinite, so in the individual…
Those words in Sanskrit are:
Yat Pinde Tat Bhramande.
Just as the Sun and Moon unquestionably influence life on Earth, so, too, do the other planets—called grahas, or ‘seizers’—affect us all.
You are influenced by the seizing powers of these cosmic forces in specific and nuanced ways, based on the unique landscape of karmas you were born into.
That landscape is mapped out in your birth chart (your horoscope), founded on where and when you were born. The map portrays the particular terrain of inner and outer conditions that you are born to journey in this lifetime. Jyotish sheds light not only on the landscape itself but on how to reach specific goals with the ideal method and ideal timing.
Another way to view your birth chart is as a playbook for the role you are born to play in this infinite, interconnected creation—a role that is singularly yours to embrace and embody. And while some elements of the plot may be pre-scripted, improv is an option all along the way.
My role as a Vedic astrologer is to help you gain clarity within your life circumstances and align with the natural forces that guide and support you in living a connective, wholesome, deeply fulfilling life.
In our time together I’ll explain what I see in your chart and in the circumstances at hand, providing context for cosmic influences at play and guidance for how to align with those influences.
I tend to ask questions to fully understand what is happening for you both internally and externally.
You’ll leave your session with essential knowledge and practical recommendations that can lead you into greater acceptance of life events, increased understanding of your relationships with others, more ease in yourself and in those relationships, and a deeper rooting into the wisdom of who you are.
My offering as a Vedic astrologer is supported by 20+ years of practice and study within the Yogic sciences, and I draw upon these in my readings with you.
I began my yoga and meditation practice in the year 2000; was invited to begin teaching a few years after; and later spent 18 months immersed in apprenticeship with my teacher, Uma Inder, steeping in the wisdom and wonders inherent to Ayurveda, Hatha Yoga and Kundalini Tantra. It was Uma who first introduced me to Jyotish and identified in me a particular potential for flourishing in its study.
For several years I studied Jyotish informally before beginning my dedicated training in 2019 as a student of the esteemed Penny Farrow, then Claudia Anfuso, in the lineage of Hart de Fouw and Krishna Mantri.
My studies with these teachers continue today. Om Gum Gurubhyo Namaha
I am also a mother, a writer, partner to my loving man, caretaker of two fabulous, whacky dogs, and nurturer of a large home garden that nourishes my family into the winter each year.
USA is my homeland, and my home is now lovingly cultivated on Swedish soil.
