We explore what the nakshatras are and how they differ from Western astrology, how Kooch reads charts, and how astrology can be used as a language of cycles, tendencies, and conscious choice rather than fixed prediction. We talk about intuition and psychic perception, common blocks to trusting inner guidance, and how to tell the difference between imagination and genuine insight. Kooch also shares about creating The Zodiac Light Oracle, how accessible it is for beginners, her studies with Harish Johari, and how the cards can be used as a tool for connecting with dharma and understanding one’s life path more deeply.
