The Universe and You with Vedic Astrologer Blaine Watson (Part One) - a podcast by Alyssa Benjamin

This week on the podcast, I’m speaking with my Vedic astrologer - Blaine Watson. 

Blaine has been a life-long student of astrology, having studied it since childhood. In 1980, on a trip to India, he became specifically interested in Vedic astrology and 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. 

This episode is part one of a two-part series on Vedic astrology, karma and transcendence. In this conversation, we discuss: Blaine’s relationship to nature as a child growing up on a farm, what led him to seek out astrology when he was very young, the role of past life karma in a person’s present life, all about Jyotish: what it is, its purpose, the difference between eastern and western astrology, what speeds up the process of our evolution, the incredible thing that astrologers in India do to gain trust from their clients, why there is no such thing as free will, and why it’s almost impossible to miss your dharma (which is your life’s purpose). Enjoy!
