I'm so excited today because I have one of my favorite Vedic astrologers on the podcast today and her name is Laura Plum.

She's been on the podcast before. I will link that episode in the show notes. You can listen to that too where we go more deeply into just what Vedic astrology is, etc. But in this episode, she shares about her 2021 forecast according to what is going on in the stars.

For me, I love to look at Vedic astrology. It has been so helpful in my life to better understand the truth of who I am. I am someone that does follow Vedic astrology. We describe the difference. Vedic astrology is essentially one of the most ancient forms of astrology that is based off of the ciderial system that she shares more about.

It's the sister science of Ayurveda, which I am an Ayurvedic author and practitioner. The sister science of yoga as well. All forms of Vedic sciences, geotish, which is called Science of the Stars, is really meant to be practiced hand in hand with these different systems.

If you resonate with my work with Dharma, with the goddesses, with Ayurveda, with yoga, with Vedic or transcendental meditation, all of these different ancient scientific modalities, they are all interconnected and Vedic astrology is a part of it.

In this episode, we talk more about what it is, dive deeply more into the actual science of what Vedic astrology is about, how it is different than Western astrology, how it is based off of where the planets actually are in the sky right now and why in Western astrology there is a discrepancy.

We also speak about how we can look at the stars to support us, how she speaks about how 2021, what the theme of the year is, and what we can focus on.

We also just speak about at the beginning of the episode, deeper understanding of why bad things can happen to good people.

I think it is that universal question of why the suffering exists and how we can move through that and see from the greater picture.

None of us know the answer to why, I wish I knew why, but all we can do is take the obstacles that we will overcome and see them as our souls unique preparation for us to embody our Dharma in a fuller way.

So we share more about this at the beginning of the episode than we get into what Vedic astrology is, then we get into her 2021 predictions at the end of the episode, we talk about her recommended stones that you should wear, the recommended mantras according to the planets that we will be working with this year.

So much more to support you, there is such great wisdom that Laura shares, her language is just so poetic and so beautiful and teachers like her who have such immense ancient knowledge are so rare, she actually is Dr. Suhas's former student.

She is really learning from the most incredible lineage Dr. Suhas has also been on the podcast a couple times now, sharing about Vedic astrology as well and is just one of the most incredible and respected Ayurvedic doctors as well.

So I feel so blessed to have these incredible teachers here sharing with us on the podcast giving us their insight, their wisdom, their time and helping us see the world in a brighter way and making these ancient sciences more accessible for all of us.

So without further ado, let's welcome Laura Plum to the High Self podcast.

And before we get started, I have an announcement for you.

If you are listening to this podcast, you are someone that knows you are born on this planet for a reason that you have gifts that you are meant to share and that your curiosities are guiding you towards your Dharma, your soul's purpose.

So what if you had a book that was a guide that showed you step by step how to unpeel these layers, these conditioning, these limiting beliefs that may be holding you back, how to have courage to finally take action on your Dharma and frameworks, including a process for you to actually decide what it is that you should focus your energy on right now.

Well, this doesn't have to be some far off fantasy because I've written this book for you, and it is called Discover Your Dharma.

It is out now.

So excited. I literally wrote this book for me where I was in my life when I was in this point where I wasn't sure if I really had a purpose or not.

I wasn't sure if it was some like fairy tale. They tell you as a kid, like follow your dreams and you get older. They're like, oh no, that was like Santa.
