Key Takeaways & Timestamps
00:00 — Opening Meditation & Intention Setting  The workshop begins with a grounding meditation to connect with the earth and sky, followed by setting a clear intention for what you want to gain from the session . 
14:23 — How to Unlock Your Chart: The North Indian System Jeremy breaks down the visual components of the North Indian chart.  He clarifies that the Numbers represent the Signs (1 = Aries, 12 = Pisces), the Shapes represent the Houses (Top Center = 1st House), and the Letters represent the Grahas (Planets) . 
27:30 — The 24-Degree Difference: Western vs. Vedic Astrology An explanation of why your signs might be different in Vedic Astrology.  Jeremy explains the "Precession of the Equinoxes," showing how Western astrology is based on seasons (Tropical) while Vedic is based on the actual astronomy (Sidereal), resulting in a roughly 24-degree difference . 
34:58 — The 4 Aims of Life & The Need for "EI" A discussion on Dharma (Purpose), Artha (Wealth), Kama (Desire), and Moksha (Liberation).  Jeremy discusses the rise of AI (Artificial Intelligence) and the increasing human need for EI (Experiential Intelligence) and genuine connection through astrology . 
51:30 — Overcoming Imposter Syndrome Jeremy addresses common fears: "Who am I to call myself an astrologer?" or "I'm not intuitive."  He defines an astrologer simply as someone who studies celestial bodies and leads a "Head to Heart" visualization exercise to release these limiting beliefs . 
01:02:40 — The 5 Levels of an Astrologer A breakdown of the five stages of growth:
The Insta Astrologer: Shares memes, enjoys surface-level relatability . 

The Astrology Friend: Friends ask for advice; often feels overwhelmed by information overload . 

The Hobby Astrologer: Studies books and podcasts but struggles with confidence in interpretation . 

The Practitioner: Can read charts with ~80% accuracy but needs more consistency and feedback . 

The Experienced Astrologer: Embodies the "5 Vowels" (Accurate, Embodied, Intuitive, Observant, Uplifting) . 

01:20:18 — The 7 Steps to Be Your Own Astrologer  A pyramid framework for growth, asking you to define who you are showing up as, your methods, and the new identity ("2026 You") you are moving toward . 
01:32:39 — The 5 "I's" of Great Readings A framework for delivering insightful readings:
Information: The birth data.

Inquiry: The focus of the reading.

Intellect: Interpreting the data/patterns.

Intuition: The embodied experience.

Integration: Processing the insights with the client . 

01:41:40 — Interpreting the Big Three (Live Examples) Jeremy demonstrates how to interpret the Sun, Moon, and Ascendant using "Mad Libs" style sentences.  He analyzes real-life examples (like Beyoncé and Barack Obama) and audience members' charts to show how elements (Fire, Water, Earth, Air) manifest in personality . 
01:51:25 — The Vedic Astrology Mentorship Details on the upcoming mentorship cohort. Jeremy outlines the three phases of the program: Experiencing Astrology, Making Accurate Predictions, and Giving Great Readings.  He covers the included software, community accountability, and certification .

This week carries a rare mix of intensity and opportunity. With a powerful Capricorn stellium, a Mars–Sun combustion, and a New Moon in Uttara Ashada, you may notice more irritability, conflict, or pressure around you. In this episode, I share how to work with this heat instead of fighting it. This is a moment to build real structures, clarify boundaries, and turn intentions into habits that last. I also talk about why listening becomes just as important as taking action as we shift toward Shravana nakshatra later in the week. My hope is that this episode helps you stay grounded, avoid unnecessary blowups, and channel this energy into something meaningful and sustainable.

Capricorn Stellium, Mars Combustion, and the New Moon
You may have noticed people feeling more intense or reactive this week.
That is not random.
Mars is combust the Sun in Capricorn, amplifying drive, frustration, and volatility.
This can create conflict if the energy is unfocused, but it can also create breakthroughs when it is directed toward building something solid.
The New Moon in Uttara Ashada supports long-term effort, discipline, and perseverance.
This is about turning vague resolutions into real systems.
As the week unfolds, the energy shifts toward Shravana nakshatra, reminding us to listen more deeply, especially when emotions are running hot.
This is a week to:
• Strengthen routines, boundaries, and containers
• Direct anger or restlessness into constructive action
• Listen more than you push to be heard
• Tune into your body and intuition for feedback

⸻
QUOTES
“This is the combustion energy that’s in the air.”
“This is not the best time to bring up things that can trigger people.”
“Capricorn is about building real, lasting structures.”
“It’s less about a perfect habit and more about a better system.”
“Seek first to understand, then to be understood.”

In this episode, I dive deep into the astrological forecast for January 2026, exploring the six significant transits that set the tone for the new year. Broadcasting from Mexico, I discuss how to navigate the intense "combust" energy of early January, the shift into practical Capricorn energy mid-month, and how to harness these forces to set realistic goals and systems. I also touch on the importance of mentorship, the "rider and elephant" metaphor for the subconscious, and specific insights for your Vedic rising and moon signs.

Key Topics
​Combust Energy in Sagittarius (Early Jan): The year begins with a stellium in Sagittarius (Sun, Mars, Venus, Mercury), creating a mix of optimism and intensity. The "combust" nature of these planets can lead to irritability, relationship friction, and high "Pitta" (fire) energy.
​Navigating Relationship Conflict: With Venus combust, relationship tensions may arise. The advice is to pause, regulate emotions, and channel energy into physical activities rather than engaging in heated conflicts.
​The Shift to Capricorn (Mid-Jan): Around January 13-16, the energy shifts significantly as planets move into Capricorn. This transition invites us to move from dreaming big to implementing grounded systems and "Atomic Habits."
​Pluto & The Subconscious: As the stellium joins Pluto, I explore the "rider and elephant" metaphor. This creates a powerful opportunity to uncover and heal hidden subconscious blocks that derail our resolutions.
​New Moon in Uttara Ashadha (Jan 18): A powerful new moon offers "invincible" energy for starting new ventures, setting business foundations, and committing to long-term discipline.
​Occurring on Jan 3rd, this transit brings emotional shifting, cleansing, and necessary releasing to start the year.
​Ardra is ruled by Rudra (the storm god), emphasizing big energy shifts and new intellectual perspectives.
​The year starts with a heavy concentration of planets in Sagittarius (adventure, travel).
​The Sun outshines (combusts) Mars, Venus, and Mercury, which can lead to hidden hostility, aggression, and irritability.

Plan your year in sync with astrology at MindfulNewYear.com
In this episode of the Quietmind Astrology Podcast, we explore the unique energy of the final week of December 2025 - that awkward in-between time where one year ends and the next begins. With a powerful Stellium in Sagittarius (Sun, Mercury, Venus, Mars), the cosmos is inviting us to explore, learn, and expand our horizons before the practical energy of Capricorn sets in mid-January.
We also dive into the upcoming Full Moon in Ardra Nakshatra on January 3rd, a time ripe for emotional catharsis, "stormy" transformative energy, and intellectual breakthroughs. Learn why New Year’s resolutions often fail, how to use the "GPS Method" for spiritual manifestation, and how to navigate information overload in the modern age.

Key Takeaways & Timestamps
00:00 – The "In-Between" Week & The 2026 Frequency
We start by acknowledging the awkward limbo between Christmas and New Year's, a time often marked by confusion on where to focus. However, energetically, we are already shifting from the 2025 frequency of endings and completion into the 2026 frequency of possibility, expansion, and new creation (a 1 year in vedic numerology).

01:08 – Sagittarius Stellium: A Time for Exploration
A major Stellium is occurring in Sagittarius involving Mercury, Venus, the Sun, and Mars. This alignment emphasizes exploration, learning, and growth, making it an excellent week for working with mentors, studying philosophy, or traveling to new places, even if just exploring a new part of your local town.

02:04 – Reviewing the Year with Mercury
With Mercury (the intellect) in Sagittarius, now is the ideal time to review the past year: what went well, what didn't, and what lessons were learned. Depending on your rising sign, this energy highlights different areas of life, such as relationships (7th House) or creativity and children (5th House).

04:34 – Why New Year’s Resolutions Fail
Resolutions often fade by February because we set them during the fun, expansive energy of Sagittarius, but fail to maintain them when the sun moves into the practical, work-oriented energy of Capricorn in mid-January. To make goals stick, we must be prepared to transition from "dreaming big" to "doing the work."

06:54 – The GPS Method for Manifestation
Rather than viewing goals as a linear struggle, think of them like a GPS: identify Point A (current reality) and Point B (desired outcome). Spiritually, the shortest distance isn't a line but a single point; by embodying the frequency of your goal now (happiness, excitement), you attract that reality faster and with less resistance.

13:51 – Full Moon in Ardra (January 3rd)
We transition into the New Year with a Full Moon in Ardra Nakshatra (Gemini). Ruled by Rudra, the storm god, this energy brings emotional storms and tears that cleanse and purify, much like rain after a drought. Expect opportunities for deep emotional catharsis, truth-telling, and intellectual breakthroughs.

16:12 – Managing Nervous Energy & Information Overload
The combination of Gemini and Mercury can lead to nervous system agitation and information overload - a common challenge in the AI age. If you feel triggered or overwhelmed, prioritize nervous system regulation (yoga, meditation) and focus only on information relevant to your current life stage or Dasha (e.g., service during a Saturn period).
