I loved this conversation! Astrology has sooooo many layers! Just when you think you’re gonna get it, some more pops up!
What til you learn about Gnostic and the planets are the Archons, another ego death,lol
Contrast and comparisons of spiritual traditions is extremely important for greater understanding of others’ wisdom traditions!!! The Western ego is too inhibited. What I enjoy about having access to Vedic texts (Dr David Frawley), is the deeper and greater understanding not only of the universe and its energies, but the profound natural medical remedies at all levels available with the study of Vedic astrology and Aurvedic natural remedies. Our own Western medical system is focused on capitalization on others’ illness which is costing our system bankruptcy on many levels. Studies of western and Vedic astrology, and Ayurvedic remedies together in a contrast comparison modality are invaluable for a broader perspective and tools for self-healing beyond Western medicine techniques!!!
So great to hear other astrologers have this conversation. I swing both ways, too!
Very interesting. Thank you.

Very enjoyable, thank you both. Vedic astrology is fascinating, my NN is Capricorn in 12th in Vedic, Aquarius in 11th in Western….definitely an interesting shift.
I think Joni Patry on here. She did the switch from western to vedict.
I’m suprised there was no mention of Ophiuchus…
You two are soooooooooo 12th house people! Love it!
Thank you for this clarification. This is a question I’ve had and asked for it to be explained by many YouTube astrologers…crickets. So, thanks!
I have been waiting for this video!!! Please have more Vedic/sideral astrologist on this channel.
This girl radiates either Sag Sun or Gemini Sun (western)
I follow western astology using placidus and it gives me a 4 planet stellium in the 8th house with me being an Aries rising. Using vedic, I have a 3 planet stellium in Scorpio (venus, neptune and jupiter) and im now a pisces rising with Mars at 29 degrees in Libra. Both intense mars placements. I am not so lucky though. Im 54 and waiting on my jupiter conjuct venus and neptune cash in. Lol. I am a believer in all religions so I can see how both systems would work. Thank you for this content. I love the open mind.❤
Thank you so much. I’ve been trying to bridge sidereal and tropical lately as well. Perfect timing to find this video! Nura is awesome ❤
