Astrology is not a destination—it’s a map. A sacred guide toward peace, wisdom, and remembrance.

​

Rooted in the same ancient soil as Yoga, Vedic astrology, or more accurately Jyotish, is a sādhana—a practice of self-study, transformation, and sacred devotion to your soul’s purpose. Through it, we attune to the rhythms of the cosmos and catch a glimpse of your unique place within it.

​

Astrology is predictive—but not prescriptive in a rigid or fatalistic sense. Rather, it offers guidance. It shows us when karma is likely to arise, when old patterns surface, asking to be witnessed and transformed. And it offers wisdom in the form of conscious choices, devotional acts, and spiritual disciplines—through which that karma can be softened, even purified.

​

In this way, Jyotish becomes a living companion on the path of liberation.

 

A Conversation with the Stars​

In our session, we may:

• Look to the past to understand where you’ve been and what may be calling for healing
• Explore the present to see what doors are closing, and what new ones are opening
• Gaze into the future to align with the energies that are unfolding in your life

​

I share what I see through the symbols of your birth chart—and together, we listen for deeper meanings and the next right steps.

​

My approach is spiritually grounded, practical, and compassionate. You don’t need to know anything about astrology to benefit from a session. You only need to be curious about your life, and willing to explore it with an open mind.

About My Work​

My journey with astrology began when I was fifteen. My mother volunteered with hospice, and one of her clients gifted us a Linda Goodman astrology book. The moment I saw the word astrology, something stirred inside me—a recognition. It felt familiar, like I already knew this language. I began to study right away.

​

But as I explored Western astrology and the tropical zodiac, much of it didn’t resonate. The descriptions of planetary placements often didn’t reflect my lived experience or the people I knew. I wondered why I was drawn to something that didn’t seem to work—but the sense that astrology held something essential kept pulling me back.

​

Years later, around the time I began my yoga practice—now more than two and a half decades ago—I discovered Vedic astrology and the sidereal zodiac. When I calculated my chart using this system, everything clicked into place. The story the stars told about my life mirrored my inner reality. I tried it with friends and family—and their charts, too, made profound sense. I felt excited, delighted, and deeply relieved. I had found what I’d been searching for.

​

From that point forward, I have studied Jyotish and used it as a tool to understand who I am, why I’m here, and how life is unfolding.

​

I see astrology as a map of karma—a record of the samskaras, or impressions, that shape the soul’s journey through time. This map reveals each person’s unique path of awakening—a path that leads, again and again, toward remembrance. I believe life on Earth is a kind of school, where every experience is meant to help us remember who we truly are. As we awaken, we become more heart-centered, and life becomes exquisitely meaningful.

​

If we meet whatever arises—what is reflected in the chart—with gentle self-discipline, clarity, and wise action, we gradually awaken. We remember.

​

I use Jyotish alongside the teachings of Yoga to help navigate these karmic conditions—especially the ethical principles of the yamas and niyamas. These are not abstract ideals—they are living energies, guiding us in how we show up, how we evolve, how we embody the sacred.

​

Astrology, to me, is a practice that helps us become more present, more clear, and more compassionate with our lives—just as they are. It’s about seeing more truly, responding more wisely, and discovering happiness, joy, and maybe even bliss, in this very life.

​

 Offerings / Services​

I offer one-on-one astrology sessions, grounded in the wisdom of Jyotish and shaped by your personal questions, timing, and needs.

​

Each reading can explore your chart’s overall dynamics and karmic patterns, or we can focus more deeply on a particular area of life—such as relationships, vocation, spiritual growth, or family patterns. I especially enjoy diving into specific themes, as this allows us to work more closely with the subtle threads of karma that shape your experience.

​

In addition to individual chart readings, I offer sessions that look at relationship dynamics and family patterns through the lens of astrology. These readings can help illuminate soul contracts, compatibility, and the ways we are bound together across lifetimes. This work is subtle and intuitive, and always held with respect and compassion.

​

Sessions:  Offered over Zoom or in person at my studio
Length:  30 minutes to 2 hours, based on your needs
Rate:  $75 per hour (sliding scale available upon request)

​

While a single session can offer valuable insight, astrology is also a tool for skillful living. If you're moving through a life transition, navigating relationship dynamics, or deepening your spiritual practice, I offer ongoing guidance. In these sessions, we return to your chart as a living map—one that reveals insight, reflection, and revelation as you walk the ever-unfolding terrain of your life.

​

Booking a Session​

If you feel called to explore your chart, I’d be honored to work with you.

​

Sessions are held over Zoom or in person at Yoga Together Lincoln. You can reach out to schedule a session or ask questions by emailing me at jessicajadmin@yogatogetherlincoln.com, or to book directly (see below).

​

Whether you're seeking insight into a specific area of life or curious about your soul’s mission, this is a sacred conversation—and you are warmly welcome.

​

Astrology is a sacred tool.
It reveals the karmic conditions your soul is meant to meet—
not to punish, but to awaken you.

​

May you walk your path with clarity, courage, and compassion—
guided by the stars and grounded in the heart.
