Many years ago, I made the bold declaration to myself, that I was going to clear my karma in this lifetime. Little did I know, that not only was this possible, but that it would become the foundation of my life purpose. I don't talk about this a lot yet; however, all my work is now infused with the intention, that whoever interacts with it, finds freedom from the past and is able to move on to their highest expression with joy. Of course, when we make an intention, the universe will give us exac... Read more

Of course, it needs to be aligned with the highest good of all concerned, says the Libra Sun! The square of Venus and Uranus brings us to a point where we know, just deep down know... Read more
The concept of balance has always been important to me. When I was in engineering school, I was never the one to do 'night-outs' to complete projects. I had to have boundaries between school work and rest. But over time that balance got distorted. Starting a new job that was stressful, had specific deadlines and wanting to succeed in it played a role. Then picking up the false belief that I had to work, felt obligated to work even when I didn't want to. Needless to say, I experienced burnout sev... Read more
Take advantage of the forward moving energy this week to launch something new, and take a bold action step forward! Mercury turns direct (on Sep 15th) a day after a Virgo new moon trine bold Uranus (Sep 14th). Uranus energy can often be disrupting, forcing a change to happen, catapulting you out of your comfort zone at very inconvenient times! But the presence of earthy Virgo energy adds groundedness and practicality to this change. Virgo also add humility; big changes can begin with a simple, h... Read more
This week, the energy of Saturn is strong through the transits that are taking place. On Sunday, Aug 27th, we had Saturn opposite the Sun, something like a 'full moon' version of Saturn. And on Aug 30th , we have the Pisces full moon conjunct Saturn. Click on the image to watch the Sacred Timings with Swati. Essence Saturn gets a bad rap and is often associated with limitations, restrictions and constrictions. This heaviness is part of it's signature energy although it is not meant to be experi...

Welcome to the latest installment of Sacred Timings with Swati. In this video I want to share my perspective on a very important transit coming up, which is Venus going Retrograde in the sign of Leo.

My story begins in late 2014, where I found myself at a point in life where I was deeply grateful, had checked off many things on my life's todo list and yet felt disillusioned. I was an engineer at the time, and while experiencing success in my career, I knew deep in my heart that I was reaching the end of that path, but didn’t know what was next. This was the main cause for the disillusionment, that despite all the success I didn't feel content. On a quiet winter evening, after my 2 sweet chi... Read more
In recent weeks, I've been having conversations with many folks, and the general theme seems to be a tiredness reflected by the immense & rapid change we are going through collectively. Disillusionment at the increasing negativity in the world and a feeling of hopelessness that things will not improve and perhaps worsen. People ask me, when will the change end? When will things get back to 'normal'? As an astrologer I look at the transits as a ***reflection ***of the intensity of evolution w... Read more
