The Joli-Aswin Show https://thejashowspot.podbean.com The Joli-Aswin Show is a space for deep conversations about life, the universe, and the astrology that weaves through it all. Hosted by astrologers Joli Knott (www.bodhimindful.com) and Aswin Subramanyan (www.theabverdict.com), this podcast explores astrology, philosophy, life, and the human experience with authenticity and insight. Each episode invites thoughtful dialogue, practical reflections, and a search for meaning in an ever-changing world shaped by the dynamic cosmos. Together, we explore not just the stars above, but the real stories that shape our lives here and now.

We start with an apology to our listeners: we were thrown off-track in our recording schedule due to health-issues/life events/admin issues and as such, we've decided to pick up the second half of the season after the United Astrology Conference in Chicago in September 2026. We thank everyone for their understanding in this.

So we will pick up with the rest of the guests we plan to host in the last quarter of the year. In the meantime, we did manage to record this conversation revolving around Aswin's new book, Essentials of Jyotișa.

We discuss Aswin's thoughts behind writing this first book in a series (which serves as a foundational text for Aswin's Jyotish teachings) and how his approach differs (or is similar) from what is on offer from others who teach the Indic traditions of astrology.

We also delve into how both Hinduism and Jyotișa are not as monolithic as people might think.

If you're interested in learning more about the Indic understandings of life and rituals in connection to their associations with Jyotișa (we touch on the elements as being fundamental) then you will likely enjoy this conversation!

Rod founded the Academy of Astrology UK and has studied astrology for over 3 decades. He can be frequently seen engaging with a wide variety of astrologers, particularly around mundane topics. He is also the author of the beautiful book, Comets in Astrology.

In this episode, we discuss which comets Rod chooses to focus on, how we might conceptualise comets philosophically/as a part of a foundational cosmology. Aswin briefly touches on comets described in the Vedas, while Rod mentions the ancient Chinese records on comets and the interpretations that accompanied them--proving that observation of comets is not simply a "modern" thing. Comets as a time-tracking tool, disruptors, bookmarks, and indicators of that which inspires fills the wide-ranging conversation from multiple angles. It was a very satisfying discussion indeed!

Kira plans to release a 10-hour masterclass on ZR at the end of May 2026, so we thought it would be good idea to talk about this fascinating Hellenistic time lord system with someone who has really spent time honing how they use it. We discuss what actually IS Zodaical Releasing and why might people feel ZR isn't speaking to them. We also touch on Indic astrological traditions that have techniques that might be considered similar to ZR and the Lot of Fortune. And we speak on how might we parse the nuances between the different ZR levels and understand how a Level II or III Loosing of the Bond differs from a Level IV Loosing of the Bond.

In this episode, we hear some of the background stories of Sam's proposal to Jessica, the astrology they use--and don't use--in their every-day lives, and generally what it's like to be an astrology couple! The conversation meanders through philosophical thoughts and vignettes in the life of two people coming together with a shared love of the study of the stars. And of course we touch on synastry and what is worth zooming in on when looking at a couple's charts together :)

Nicola is founder of The Wild Way, where she weaves her art and writing with astrology and divination.

She is currently working on creating a tarot deck which you can get involved with here: https://www.backerkit.com/call_to_action/4634f681-5517-46a7-a93f-0acb966631f9/landing

During the discussion we briefly mentioned Manilius. Manilius does talk about decans in his great work, Astronomica, but he presents a system that is unique among Hellenistic astrologers.

Instead of assigning Egyptian deities or planetary rulers to the decans, Manilius distributes each 10-degree portion of a sign to another zodiac sign. Manilius described the decan system as a form of "heavenly fellowship" or "hospitality," arguing that no sign has exclusive control over itself, rather signs *share* their powers with others in equal ten-degree portions. Manilius was noted for being the first to use the specific word "decanus" in an astrological context.

The idea is to showcase how we might use different techniques to parse a natal chart and understand the native's life. Having examined the chart through a tropical lens and using largely Hellenistic techniques, we turn today to a look at the chart using perspectives from Jyotish.

While Aswin does the bulk of the breakdown, Joli does share descriptors/keywords for the nakshatras of the native's Sun, Moon, and Rising. Just these alone are extremely revealing of the native and their story, as Saffron shares with us all by the end of the show.

Show notes:

Smell is the only one of our 5 senses that is not routed through the thalamus to get to the cortex. Instead, aromas and odours travel directly to the olfactory nerve, thus bypassing the thalamus altogether. The information from smell is thus relayed to the limbic system and is why certain smells can trigger detailed memories and strong emotions.   In this episode, Joli mistakenly says "hypothalamus" instead of "thalamus". The latter retrieves sensory information for the cortex, while the former is responsible for homeostasis in the body and for stimulating hormone production. Please accept her regret for the error! ]]> Welcome to "The Joli-Aswin Show"!

And thank you for joining us on this second episode where Aswin interviews Joli in order for listeners to get to know her as a person, as well as an astrologer, better. 

We hope you enjoy the show and would love to hear any feedback you have to share!
