Vedic Astrology, Ancestral Healing & the Rise of the Feminine with Saraswati | Ep 44

We are living in one of the most powerful times for ancestral healing and the rise of the divine feminine and the stars confirm it. In this episode, I sit down with Saraswati, host of the Inner Light Jyotisha Summit and founder of Dharma Village, to explore why Vedic astrology, ancestral trauma, and women's leadership in healing are all converging right now. We dive deep into Jyotisha (Vedic astrology) to understand the planetary transits behind this collective shift, Saturn closing a 30-year cycle of karma, Ketu exposing the father wound and masculine trauma, and what it all means for those of us doing ancestral healing work. Saraswati shares how dharma cannot be separated from our ancestors, and why so many of us are only now waking up to transgenerational grief that has been buried for generations. This conversation moves through patriarchy, misogyny, and colonization, and how these forces have disconnected us from our bodies, our lineages, and Mother Earth herself. We talk about shadow work, the darkness that spiritual communities often avoid tending, and why true awakening requires honoring both the light and the shadow. We also open up about cultural healing, ancestral wounds specific to colonized cultures, and reclaiming the body through touch, pleasure, and sacred blood ritual. This is a call to every woman remembering her power, her dharma, and her connection to Ma, the Divine Mother. From rape culture to love culture, from motherless to motherfulness, this is our collective rising.   __ Timestamps & Keynotes 00:00 Introduction to the planetary shifts and collective awakening 04:12 The fire of transformation and collective grief 06:11 Astrological insights on the rise of the feminine 08:51 Saturn's cycle and the end of old karma 12:20 The link between dharma and ancestors 13:48 The liminal realms and ancestral awakening 16:48 Trauma, shadow work, and healing the masculine 19:44 Endings, beginnings, and the Pisces Gandanta 22:30 The importance of tending shadow and light 25:24 Cultural healing and reclaiming Filipino heritage 30:33 Healing through body awareness and self-care 36:48 The impact of societal trauma and disempowerment 42:00 The divine feminine's power and victory 44:43 The collective battle between darkness and light 54:22 Women reclaiming their purpose and power 01:00:19 Healing the relationship with Mother Nature __ ABOUT Saraswati For over a decade, Saraswati have helped hundreds of creative, spiritual healers all over the world deepen their dharmic success and thriving.
