Transit Thursdays with Didi Paterno

Was it and continues to be intense for you? Probably yes. Especially if you watch the news a lot.And I will say, it will continue this #April and #May but it will carry a different energy as the planets move and change. Like life.Jupiter remains in #Gemini for now, while Mars and Mercury join the Sun and Saturn in #Pisces. Notice that ruler Jupiter of Pisces and ruler Mercury of Gemini seem to be exchanging places. This impacts how things will move through life.Listen to another #deepdive into the #transits of #vedicastrology. I went so EXTRA with the historical research.

I wasn't planning on this episode BUT the turn of the tides on February 28 (Saturday) as Mars crossed the sensitive eclipse point of 4 degrees in Aquarius delivered explosive events.I quickly did the research and mapped out what we can expect to see through this volatile time throughout the month of #March until #May in #2026.Again, this is brought to you by #vedicastrology system so this may differ from what you've heard on the western system. If you are privileged enough to observe with me, I'm more than happy to hear from you.

Now at the end of the last of the major #vedicastrology transits of #2026 - Rahu and KetuThe nodes will stay in Leo and Aquarius for the most part of the year then shift in December into Cancer and Capricorn. What disruptions will and detachments can we expect in this calendar year? Listen and learn with historical research.

If you're here, you want to know more of what the movement of the planets will bring this 2026. After the expansion is the contraction of Saturn in #Pisces.I will warn that it is a heavy episode (as Saturn is) and a long one with loads of historical research across the 90s, 60s and 30s. Learn where the restrictions, fear, doubt, structure will come to the world in general.Should you want to dive deeper into your own #vedicastrology horoscope, do book a consultation with me

FINALLY! The 2026 #vedicastrology episodes are here. Well, first of 3-parts.I'll be tackling Jupiter in #Gemini, #Cancer and #Leo first as Jupiter is blessings, fortune, Justice, Truth. What expansion will it bring in #2026?Listen in to the explanation, historical research and forecasts for this year.

Happy New Year! It is finally 2026!This is another stellium or group or cluster of planets I am keen to observe. Let's learn on how the conjunction of Sun, Mars, Mercury, Venus and Rahu in Aquarius will impact events down here on Earth. It's a continuation of the build up from Scorpio, Sagittarius and Capricorn. If you're keen to follow along, I'd be happy to hear from you, too, and tell me what you will see.

Exciting activity in the skies with Sun, Mars, Mercury and Venus coming together and moving through Sagittarius and Capricorn. Listen to what you can expect, observe and test as you join me in watching the stars.

This November and early December 2025 brought together 4 planets, a stellium, in the #zodiacsign of #scorpio that led to specific events in real life.Today, I walk you through what this specific mix of energies brought about in the #vedicastrology lens, leading up to this same #stellium moving through and forward into #Sagittarius #Capricorn #Aquarius and #Pisces in the first quarter of #2026.

It is still a dream to get tattooed by Wiji Lacsamana. And when I learned she started getting into the healing arts like #Reiki and #astrology, I knew I had to have her on the #FindingLightinLoss series.It was succinct that she didn't consider loss as a loss, but rather a portal to a new world that opens up possibilities. So listen to her story of how she left her hometown of La Union and found herself forging an identify and new home in Manila and her Art.

I hesitated to ask this question about spirituality as it's been a thorn on my side growing up and living in a very Catholic/Christian environment. Have you always ever wondered about it too?The very mention of "spirituality" in my previous conversation with Delamar Arias-Ashby prompted me to ask her if she'd want to talk about this more. I was so afraid as I learned to never bring religion or politics to the table. But I sure am glad Delamar was open to talking about it. So we did.This is a deep conversation with even deeper insights to prompt you to think about the questions that have likely been floating around your head and heart. What is it like to lose the religion and family and community you grew up with? How do you find Light in a huge loss like that?Listen to Delamar's story and hopefully you'll learn a thing or more. I guarantee you will. Catch more of Delamar's insights on The Eve's Drop Podcast here on Spotify or follow along on her personal adventures on Instagram.If you're curious about vedic astrology, do listen to more episodes or book a consultation with me.

There's another key planetary transit this 2025 brewing! It will be explosive to say the least. Mars - the red planet of energy, conflict, war, action, meets Ketu - the headless serpent, inside the house of the King, Leo. Let's dive deep into what these planets and #zodiacsign involved mean and will possibly bring starting June 7 through July 28, 2025.
