Like many of you, I never believed in astrology.
I thought it was just something fun for magazine editors to write about, or for us girls to get to know each other a little quicker. I thought it can’t be real.
But what if our stars and planets in the universe are telling us part of our story? WHAT IF they could guide us on our some of our biggest decisions in our lives?
A little more than a year ago, this ancient and fascinating realm entered my life when I needed it most. Little would I know that one year later, I would actually meet a REAL astrologer in Singapore who I would then interview for my podcast.
In Episode #006 of YOU NEVER KNOW, I sit down with Nivas, a Vedic astrologer who walked away from a stable corporate career to pursue his passion and calling.
His journey was anything but linear — moving to a new country, landing in a shockingly unexpected job, and facing uncertainty at different turns. But through it all, he trusted himself, was “blindly” bold, and knew that astrology was what he had to do in his life.
Listen in on our conversation as we explore:
00:00 Introduction
01:02 What does a Vedic Astrologer Actually Do?
05:53 How Do Astrologers Read Birth Charts?
08:48 Differences Between Vedic & Western Astrology
14:56 The Role of Rahu and Ketu in Vedic Astrology
17:49 Astrology as a Tool for Guidance: Importance of Planets & Placements
24:05 The Commercialization of Astrology & Not Knowing Too Much
27:42 Historical Context of Astrology
30:08 The Role of Intuition vs Knowledge
33:12 Nivas's Journey into Astrology
37:39 Navigating Career Challenges in Singapore: The Job He was Shocked to Have
44:46 Transitioning from Corporate to Starting a Business
52:59 Finding Purpose Beyond Financial Success
55:25 Boldness and Authenticity in Pursuing Dreams
Nivas is not on any social media platform, but I am so grateful to have met him synchronistically along my journey. I hope that you find this episode meaningful and intriguing, and that it reaches you whenever you are meant to find it.
