• Who Am I? The role of Jupiter, Mercury, Tara & the Moon in identity, love, self acceptance and A Restless Traveller

  Text me your thoughts about this epidode ...In today's episode I have the pleasure of recording a podcast episode with my husband!! Together we explore the different approaches of Jupiter and Mercury in a birth chart. We talk about "A Restless Traveller," Zé's memoir focused on a four-month trip to Europe he took in 1977 at age 23. I have the chance to share the Vedic Mythology how Mercury was conceived (picking up from where Nisha Sankaran and I left off in S2 Ep 11, 12 & 14). The mythology of Tara, Jupiter and the Moon become a touchstone that we returned to throughout the interview. We also discuss the influence of José's Gemini rising sign and the Parivartana Yoga of mutual exchange between Mercury and Jupiter in his birth chart on themes of restlessness, travel, identity, and the search for connection. We explore how his travels and his relationship with his family and romantic encounters, resonated with Vedic Astrologic Houses of self (1st), home (4th), parents (4th & 10th), and the quest for love (7th). We also talk about the process of writing and how revisiting his past led to deeper self-acceptance. I hope you will enjoy learning more about Jupiter and Mercury through this personal episode :)You can order José's book at ...Amazon - https://www.amazon.com/s?k=a+restless+traveller+by+jose+marques&crid=1SBWFIOM57J1O&sprefix=a+restless+traveller+by+jose+marquesLulu.com - https://www.lulu.com/search?page=1&sortBy=RELEVANCE&q=a+restless+traveller+by+jose+marques&pageSize=10&adult_audience_rating=00 Support the show
