Dear Sam,
I had the Sun and Saturn directly over my Moon mid August. on the exact degree.Hemmed in by Mars and Ketu you can well imagine what I went trhrough.I had this great feeling og claustrophobia as if I the physical world is closing in.I would wake up in the middle of the night feeling uneasy.It’s only the chanting of the Gayatri mantra that had seen me through.
Even my lagna is Leo and I am right in the middle of sade sati.
Your blog has helped me. thanks.ss

Dear Sam,
Your analyses is most lucid.i had a similar experience.
The Sun and Saturn were directly over my radical moon in the birth chart.around mid August . Also the ascendant was hemmed in between Ketu and Mars.Is that why I have been feeling claustrophobic for about three weeks now. Jupiters forward movement has somewhat helped.

I really appreciate your honesty and sharing your insecurities with us. This has prompted me to overcome my own inhibition of actually writing to a blog (being an internet “newbie” & a slow typist!). I notice how our biggest challenges can become our greatest strengths(how saturnian !) You Sam have made Vedic astrology accessable and enjoyable! What a blessing you are. Thank You.

Dear Sam, I have just placed you in a very special place in my heart… Your letters, comments and insights are so welcomed every time I open my mail, even if they seem shocking sometimes!
It is truly through revealing our vulnerabilities that we
become empowered, loved and accepted. The public speaking bit really touched my heart, as I can identify with that.
You are touching lives knowingly or unknowingly. Keep up this amazing work.
Much love

I just recently discovered your work on line…had your book and felt very fortunate to discover your “other” writing.

Excellent website and blog… and thank you for including the outer planets in some of your comments. I consider your site a real gem!

Well Starfish i have done a lot fo yoga, meditation and do a lot of chanting.. 1,000 names of Devi almost daily..

sacred speech – in the form of chanting mantras will clear the throat Chakra like nothing else and elevate the element of Space (freedom, truth, infinity).

Astrologically i think speech has to do with Mercury (of course) and the second house ruler – for me that is the Moon.

My moon has a very hard Saturn aspect (tight square) Neptune conjunction if a person uses the outers – Mercury is very close the ascendant and it is joined the North Node – another stress factor i think to a speech problem. Especially with all of these things in the first house of Gemini you can see why speech is a main “fulcrum of the lever” as I said.

OK, enough of me..

The important thing is this Saturn/Sun conjunction gives us a great opportunity to face our confidence issues and move through them especially toward the great trine in early September.

Work hard for a goal you want to satisfy then.

i love keeping connected to you and the greater presence with your forecasts, be it video or written. i don’t really care in what format. if i don’t understand i just read over or listen again to make an effort to understand. to be asking for more would seem lazy and selfish of me. part of learning is active listening on behalf of the one willing to understand and learn. not putting down anyone here of course, this is just my own experience. so thank you again!
out of curiosity, are the speech issues reflected in your chart?
and have you tried chakra toning? i found it especially effective in a group rather then individual work. first few times made me cry tho, not sure why, i guess a cleansing of all sorts of blocks.
it’s very healing and i’m still feeling the benefits yrs later.
bliss! n.

Thanks, Sam. I learn something timely & important every time I read one of your blog posts or watch one of your videos. Whatever format you settle on to communicate these ideas, I’ll be reading it. I think some people are intimidated by honesty, but in this day and age, it’s a refreshing change for the better. Looking forward to learning more from you.
