Hello, friends! I hope you and your families are doing well, and surviving these crazy times. Here in Indiana we have had a lot of rain, and there is more to come this weekend. My trees are budding, though, and I can’t wait to see my perennials bloom again, just like old friends returning.

We have an intense month ahead! We have Venus going into her own sign of Libra, the Solar Eclipse in Aries, Ashwini nakshatra, Mercury Retrograde in Aries, and Jupiter going into Aries! Whew.

I am teaching a webinar with my teacher and mentor, Dr. Santhip Kanholy, on Sunday, April 2nd at 9pm EST; April 3rd for India. We will be discussing the upcoming eclipses and forecast for all 12 signs, so come join us! The registration is still open, and it’s only $5; here’s the link:
Learn What the Solar & Lunar Eclipses Will Bring You in April & May 2023

Also, I have some exciting news! My book has been published! Here’s the desciption:
“Uma’s Upayas, “Mother’s Remedies”, is an astrological aromatherapy guide that matches plant families with each of the Navagraha, or traditional nine planets, used in Vedic astrology. While many make use of the benefits of fragrance, not many know that there is a reason they are drawn to certain scents, and through the lens of Jyotish we can see why. Uma is the wife of Shiva, she is also known as Parvati, and she is aligned with the Moon, as she rules marriage, motherhood, beauty, and also is the life force of the Earth; an upaya is a remedy given by an astrologer to bring balance to a certain planet in an astrological chart. Most upayas are mantras, yantras, and gemstones, but for the first time this author sheds a different light onto the customary remedies and gives us a perspective from the Divine Feminine.”

You can purchase it on Amazon or Kindle, and here’s the link to purchase:

I hope to see you in our webinar this Sunday, the benefit of seeing it live is that you get to ask questions. It will be recorded, so if you can’t see it live, you can watch at your convenience after the lecture. ______________________________________________________________
