Welcome to the 12th and final episode for Season 1 of The Joli-Aswin Show! In this episode, Joli and Aswin discuss the lunar nodes--including the Indic origin story for Ketu and Rahu, as well as the different paradigms one might employ in examining the nodal axis. (And although the link below is not quite the blog post Joli & Aswin are discussing on the show, hopefully it is still of interest for those who are interested in the nodes.)

We will be back with Season 2 in 2026 and look forward to further discussions, rabbit-holes, and hopefully a number of guests, too!

And stay tuned for details on a bonus episode livestream we're hoping to hold on the upcoming Solstice.

As always, any ratings and/or comments you share will help support our show. Many thanks for your interest & for tuning in!

Join Joli and Aswin as they talk about the nakshatras--the heart of Jyotisa. Nakshatra is the Indian name that generally describes each of 27 segments used to divide the ecliptic by Indic astrologers and correlating to the Moon's daily journey. They are therefore more detailed that the 12 zodiac signs and are believed to have a significant impact on a person's character, life events, and auspicious timings for rituals. What is the mythology behind these divisions, and the astronomy behind them? Is it 28 nakshatras or 27? What value does using nakshatras actually add in chart delineations? As always, we look forward to hearing your thoughts and would be grateful if you subscribe to our show, rate it, and/or leave a comment. Thank you for tuning in!

Tiny divisions, deep revelations! The 12th Parts refer to the zodiac signs within each zodiac sign and have long been used by astrologers in the Hellenistic, Medieval Islamicate, and Indic traditions to glean further insight and nuance from the natal chart. Please join Joli and Aswin as they talk about how they conceptualize the 12th Parts and how they might be delineated. As always, we welcome any thoughts, comments, or feedback you might share! If you enjoy the episode, please leaves us a rating and a review as it helps sustain these conversations. Thank you for tuning in!
