EP 48: The Universe and You with Vedic Astrologer Blaine Watson (Part Two)
This week is the second part of an interview I had with Vedic astrologer Blaine Watson. If you’re tuning in for the first time, let me give you a bit of background about Blaine. He’s studied astrology since childhood and in 1980, on a trip to India, he became specifically interested in Vedic astrology or Jyotish. After almost 9 years of self-study, the Dean of the Department of Sanskrit at Benares Hindu University in Varanasi, India certified him as an expert in Jyotish.
He’s been a personal astrologer for the past 30 years, seeing over 30,000 clients in over 30 countries. And because the Vedic tradition prohibits him from advertising, clients find him only via word of mouth, which is a true testament to his expertise.
In addition to joytish, Blaine is considered to be expert in Ayurveda and the Vedic system of temple architecture known as Vastu Vidya (side note: if you are interested in learning more about Vastu, you can listen to my episode with Hunter Cressman, which I’ll link to in the show notes). He is also a lifelong meditator and has taught Transcendental Meditation to over 4,000 people.
In this final part of my conversation with Blaine, we discuss: How Blaine’s interpretation of a chart changes over the years as that person evolves and transcend, What it means to live a successful life from a jyotish perspective, how often Blaine looks at his chart, why knowing when to have Yagyas done helps create a better and brighter future, Jyotish for our dog friends :), what Blaine would say to those who are skeptical of jyotish, how someone would know if they’re ready for a reading from Blaine, and what happens to your chart when you reach enlightenment.
Blaine has a level of consciousness that is powerful and we talk about pretty advanced subject matter in this conversation. If you are a seeker, which I know many of you are, and are interested in being a catalyst for your own evolution, this conversation is definitely for you.
“Karma fructifies, it ripens. We reach a point where it's ripe and the fruit falls - we reap the fruit of our karma...then we’re open to the real solutions.” - Blaine Watson x Our Nature
