Riding the Cosmic Waves: What the Current Transits Teach Us About Real Transformation
Right now, the skies are stirring deep change—from Venus blazing through Aries to Jupiter opening new paths in Gemini. In this post, I reflect on the current Vedic transits and how they show up in real life, relationships, and the spiritual path. Astrology isn’t abstract—it’s personal, alive, and a mirror to the work we’re here to do.

Lemon Immunity Potion
It’s been a funny few month this year. I’ve been sick twice already- the first time I must have caught a virus that made it it’s mission to clear out my lungs of any mucus that has been building up there over the last few years. Now it’s my sinuses. I feel like I am sneezing out parts of my brain at this rate. But slowly I am getting better. I just need to learn the lesson that I am teaching everyone else for years now – Radical Self Love. I have cancelled my classes, cancelled my day job as a substitute teacher, skipping any physical practice and am not going anywhere. I am staying in bed today and do, what I love to do. I write.

Kali in the form of a virus
It’s that time again. I caught a virus.
Carlos – my partner – brought it back from his travel to Spain, together with a story of sadness, remembrance and letting go.
It’s a story I would like to tell you today – since I have nothing else to do anyway.
Why? Because it is also an Ayurvedic Story about Kali and the wonderful Intelligence of the body. So, make yourself a cup of tea and snuggle up.

Full moon in Purva Bhadrapada
This current moon‘s journey began in Magha Nakshatra, the Nakshatra of our ancestors. Since then, its themes have been building up, bringing the blessings (or sometimes curses) of our ancestors. Its message was to let go. Now, this message is coming to a peak.

Radiant Sun
This morning I sit – as I did every morning over the past one and a half weeks – on my terrace beside the olive tree and look out onto the sea.
The beauty of this place is quite overwhelming.
Pink and white Oleander blossoms are lining the little terracotta pathways that connect the houses. Hibiscus, jasmine and roses are covering each of the little front gardens, their fragrance competing with that of the wild rosemary, which is filling every crevice of the land. I see or hear almost no cars and very few people walk by to greet us – but always with a friendly smile.
