An experienced Vedic Astrologer like our guest Laura Plumb can clearly see the planetary influence that manifested a chain of pandemic events in 2020 and 2021, specific to each country.
What is in store for 2022?
Understanding the influence that planetary bodies have on us not only allows us to embrace and utilise our full potential and highest Self, but also guides us on what the future inevitably holds for us.
Vedic Astrology, also known as Jyotish or โThe Eye of the Vedaโ, is the science that allows us to perceive and interpret messages of the cosmos.
Why is it that things unraveled in this or that way?
What are the lessons that nature wanted us to learn?
What is coming up in the horizon for us?
For all of these are questions, Jyotish suggests answers, and in this episode, acclaimed Jyotishi and Ayurvedic practitioner Laura, gracefully breaks down the power of what is comingย up.

The Astrological Blessings of the Pandemic
In December 2019 there was a major Solar Eclipse that also involved Mercury, Jupiter & Saturn.
Jupiter has been for a long time trapped by the grip of Saturn, so both teacher planets were together in the sign of Capricorn until November 2021.ย
-
The lessons of Saturn usually come in the form of constriction, of letting go of certain things, of turning within. Saturn is the Yogi, the ascetic. He teaches the lessons of Shiva.ย
When COVID First came we had Rahu in Gemini and Khetu in Sagittarius.ย
-
We had an air Sun and an Air lunar node, causing a lot ofย vata.ย
-
The Khetu in a fire sign was causing a lot of fire (literally wildfires), flu, infection, anger and general chaos.ย
Rahu and Khetu moved around September 20th 2020 into Taurus and Scorpio respectively.ย
-
These shadow planets are exalted in these signs, so they stoped being as damaging as they were on the year prior.ย ย
Jyotish Forecast for 2022
In November 2021, Jupiter moved into the sign of Aquarius and it will stay there until April 13th.
-
Jupiter becomes here much moreย hopeful, optimistic & expansive in terms of scientific & technological breakthroughs, cutting-edge science.ย
-
Jupiter in Aquarius fosters a great capacity forย spiritual growth. There is great room forย spiritual & humanitarian advancements.ย
After April 13th 2022, Jupiter moves into Pisces, its own ruling sign.ย
-
It brings the invitation for those who did not find a meditation practice yet, to embark on that journey.
-
Since Pisces is a feminine sign, itโll bring out the mostย feminine qualities of Jupiter. Itโll be moreย embodied, touching & heart-centered.
-
Jupiter stands forย wisdom, growth, expansion, connection, union amongst humans, hope, faith, and compassion.
-
Pisces is very related to the medical sciences because it brings in the compassion to help others heal and restore wholeness.ย
In May 1st 2022, Saturn will leave Capricorn, after two and a half years there, and will move into Aquarius.ย
-
Saturn loves structure.ย Shanni will help lay the foundations to all of that which Jupiter in Aquarius helped envision.ย
-
This is a time for us to have a clear understanding of what we want to build or materialize in our lives. This time holds the promise of fulfillment of said plans if the proper intention is there.ย
-
Saturn when in Aquarius and Capricorn is empowered. And Saturn represents the people, the common folk.ย This placement of Saturn allows for the light to shine over the will of the people. It turns the tables and gives them the power to choose for themselves, where to live, how to live, what job to do, etc.ย
In March 2022, Rahu and Khetu are moving into Aires and Libra respectively.ย
-
This is very relevant, especially for those who have theirย lagnaย (ascendant/rising sign) or chandraย (moon) in these signs.ย
-
During this time there might be someย restlessness,ย some shadows may start to appear, or already existing ones may be revealed to us.ย
-
We may be feeling moreย hunger and desire for material gain.ย
-
It is important that we donโt let these influences eat our minds. Rememberย Ganesh, remember the light of consciousness. Unbind yourself from these influences.ย
-
It is important to do theย upฤyas, the remedies.ย
-
For more information on whatย upฤyasย are good for you and the afflicted planets in your chart, reach out to a quality Jyotish practitioner. You can find one close to youย here.

-
-
The lunar nodes determine the signs in which the eclipse happens. The next lunar and solar eclipses will happen in these two signs.ย
