The Sun is now in Aquarius, and it got me thinking. Aquarius is the sign of being involved in making “tanks, ponds, and things related to shores” according to the Rishi Jaimini’s Upadesa sutras. Aquarius rules Islands, this is one way we can see it. It also rules people that live and work around Islands or “shores” in some way. People that live or work on boats, or near the water often do have prominent placements in this sign. Even the pro-surfer Kelly Slater has his sun in Aquarius, and he has made his living from the shore. I am a surfer, and I have noticed a lot of the people that hang around my funky beach town in Charleston, South Carolina have more placements here than average.
What does this concept of “things related to shores” symbolize? I think one aspect of it is that Jaimini is hinting at how Aquarius rules fringe groups and underground cultures, especially ones that promote new ideas or new things. In the old days, new and far away things came from the shore, like a ship bringing spices from a distant, exotic land. Aquarius is a dreamer, sitting or standing in the shore, dreaming about what the sea might bring them.
Aquarius rules progressive or underground movements, like being a Yogi in Los Angeles in the 40s, or being a surfer in the 70s, or an environmentalist in the 80s, or a skateboarder in the 90s and 2000s. Why is that? It rules these fringe groups because that’s what the shore is, the shore is the “fringe” or outermost edge of the world. That’s what the water bearer is really about, being away from the center of the world (which is symbolized by the opposite sign, Leo). Aquarius is at the very edge of the world, not at all at the center. If there was any further part that could get Aquarius further from the world, Aquarius would probably be involved with that thing too. The water bearer is the sign of enjoying the world, working to make it more bearable, but eventually detaching from and moving beyond it. Aquarius is done with the world. Aquarius is starting to turn away from the world and beginning to look out to the vast infinite sea. This is why it rules the shores and things related to them, because they are the outermost edge that one can stand on before being fully immersed in the sea, symbolizing spiritual enlightenment, and the next sign of Pisces.
So Aquarius is the last stage, just before one is fully enlightened or “in the sea” of Pisces. Pisces is like heaven, the work is mostly already done at this point, but Aquarius is that last bit of psychological work we all must do to turn ourselves away from the maya of the world, and towards the “sea” of truth. The water bearer is ruled by Saturn, a planet that has a ring around it, again hinting at this separated, detached, fringe-like quality that Saturn is comfortable with. Saturn is also the furthest light we can see with the naked eye, again symbolizing being at the fringe of reality, being “out there” as Aquarians are often described. (How the ancients knew that Saturn was the furthest of the planets is another mystery!)
I also talk a little bit about this theme of “things related to shores” in this video on Aquarius as the sign of skateboarders and surfers:
To learn more fundamentals of Astrology, check out the ongoing Jyotish and Yogic philosophy course at my new online school: https://eye-of-the-veda-university.teachable.com/
Class 9 in the ongoing Financial Astrology and Cryptocurrency course is now available at the Eye of the Veda University over on teachable! Rahu and Ketu are the main karmic obstacles to our abundance in life. They are like the highest karmic ceiling for the native or chart in question. Understanding them is crucial to any branch of astrology, and this class covers them in the financial context.
I just started this, so I will be adding a lot more classes to it as the year unfolds, and will also be doing a subscription based service. But for now, I have the most recent class I taught on Financial Astrology and Cryptocurrency. Check it out here!
This class is $27 and is almost 2 hours long, and comes with 2 manuals. One manual that comes with any of the Financial Astrology classes, and another manual specifically focused on Rahu and Ketu and how to read them. You also get access to the telegram group, to ask questions and share insights with other students and finanncial astrologers!
I have many more classes and courses planned for 2022, and I hope to see you over on teachable!
Here I will give some updates on Eye of the Veda and what I have been up to, as well as what I am planning for 2022. First off, my site got hacked! Oh no! I lost some of the posts for all the courses I have taught since June of 2021. It was annoying to say the least, but now I am motivated to start building up a more legitimate school and to teach a lot more in 2022. Eye of the Veda is now moving everything over to teachable.com and will be starting the Eye of the Veda University. This will be where I formally teach new students Astrology, Meditation, and other topics. I will even be able to give out certificates for students that complete courses, which appeals to me because in the jyotish tradition there is a big emphasis on the teacher/student relationship. In Jyotish you can be given scrolls by your teacher showing that you have mastered certain skills. So I like that we can work towards that as well, and teaching with a more structured approach. I can teach all kinds of classes and they can be bought individually, or thru a subscription service. Be on the lookout for more updates and future courses through teachable. Follow my telegram to get all the updates, free of big tech censorship https://t.me/eyeoftheveda Check out the youtube as well for more updates www.youtube.com/eyeoftheveda
I am still offering readings, and they have been going great, all is well there. I plan to teach a jyotish and yoga philosophy course from the ground up, as well as more financial astrology, a nakshatra course, and rahu and ketu courses. For now you can still order any of the financial astrology courses, but just send me an email if interested, because I dont officially have those posted anywhere at the moment. When the teachable is complete they will be available there.
I am almost done editing my book, which is called Astrologically Understanding Movies. It is a book about how all the best myths, movies and stories of any sort follow the same patterns as Astrology and the zodiac. Ive finished writing it and just need to edit and publish it, so I hope to get this done in 2022.
So the main focus for Eye of the Veda in 2022 will be teaching and building the Eye of the Veda University, as well as getting my book out. Stay tuned for more!
Corey Teaching an Astrological Workshop in Asheville, NC in 2018
Im so excited to finally start teaching vedic astrology in a series of ongoing zoom classes! Jyotish was meant to be learned orally, in a personal way. It was meant to be learned with a teacher one can ask questions to. These study groups will be able to afford astrology students that luxury, and for an affordable price. For years I have done one on one tutoring with serious students, but these days I dont have as much time to do that. This way I can teach a number of students orally and at a personal level, and actually make it even cheaper for the students in the long run.
These will be an ongoing series of classes (Lord willing) and each class will build upon the previous ones, so it will be best to start with the first class and work your way through them, even if you are joining way after this first class, which will be the case for most students.
Many astrologers who have studied for years will still find these beginning classes to be very crucial, as even the foundations of jyotish are often misunderstood in today’s day. Without the input of a more experienced teacher one can waddle around for years trying to sort out or make any sense of astrology, and the internet often makes it even more confusing. Astrology was always meant to be studied with a teacher. It does not mean they have to take you by the hand, but they can certainly speed up your learning process.
Structure:
The first class will be June 17th, 2021, at 11:15 AM, EDT time. If you are not able to attend the live class you will still get a copy of the recording and any relevant pdfs, links, or other material the rest of the class gets.
Each class will be 1.5-2 hrs long, and will start with a new lesson, technique, or principle. Then we will practice them and I will share examples and answer questions on it. Then we take a short 5 minute break, and return with another technique or principle, and open the floor up for a Q and A style dialogue.
This first class will be focused on how to reach a birth chart itself, and what each component of the birth chart is used for. So we will touch on signs, houses, grahas, and many basic terms one will come across, and what they mean in plain english, and where they fit into reading charts, what they are used for, etc.
To Join The Group:
All you have to do to join the group is make the payment as directed below, and then send me an email to corey@eyeoftheveda.com and title it “Jyotish Study Group”, and tell me which method you paid with. This way I have your email address and will have it on the list of invites to send out when the zoom class begins. Then about 10 minutes before class starts you can expect to get a zoom invite to our class, and you are good to go.
Fee: $19 USD, if paying through Paypal, $15 USD if paying thru Venmo, or $10 if paying with cryptocurrency.
Paying with Paypal or Venmo:
If paying with paypal simply click this link below, and follow the steps provided. When that goes through you are on the list!
If paying with Venmo, just send money to this address, and if it asks for my phone number just press the “skip” button, I dont know why they ask that because its not required.
Venmo: CoreyDowds1
Paying with Crypto: This is preferred so I offer a small discount for that option, and it also enables anyone on the planet to be able to purchase these classes. The easiest way to pay with crypto is if you have coinbase. (If you dont have that just scroll further down.)
Coinbase Users: If you use your desktop coinbase exchange account, you can now send me coins instantly with no fee, and to send it to me all you need is my email. The email to send to is coreydowds@gmail.com, and thats all you need to have. This is done internally through coinbase and doesnt even require the blockchain so its also instant, and thats why it requires no fee. You can send any of the top coins on coinbase at that time. You cannot send me partial payments in different coins. Just send me it all in one coin.
Coinbase email: Coreydowds@gmail.com
The other option is to send crypto to one of my wallet addresses listed below. Then all you have to do is send me an email letting me know which coin you paid with, and first few letters of the address. Then I will have you on the lineup. As long as I have an email from you I will have somewhere to send the zoom invite, and you will get the class link just 10 minutes before it starts.
Send crypto to one of the wallet addresses I list below, and then when you write me your email, mention what coin you paid with and give the first couple digits of the crypto wallet address. That way I know it was you. When that goes through you are on the lineup and can expect a zoom invite link just 10 minutes before the class.
NOTE: If you have any questions about this, feel free to send me an email. The crypto payment can be daunting for first time users so just send cash if you are not comfortable with it, and I am not a tech expert and wont have time to answer questions about that aspect of this. But it is there as an option.
(I am getting a lot of emails about this service and am trying to streamline it as much as possible. All you have to do is make the payment, include your email address in the note, and you can be sure you will be on the list. So if I dont get time to write you back or anything, just know that you will be on there if you follow the protocol and I look forward to seeing you there!!!)
The 5th study group will be Wednesday, June 2nd, 2021 at 10:30 AM, EDT time. The class structure will be the same as the others, with a lesson in the beginning portion that builds upon the previous material covered in classes 1-4, and include a 5 minute break around the 45 minute mark. After we will focus more on an open Q and A style and offer more input from the group and a forecast for the coming weeks. If we have time we will look at more individual charts as well to see how each person’s chart will have unique strengths that can be tapped into for financial prosperity.

I will also share how I feel about the markets since the last class, and then introduce some new techniques and principles that I’ve found to work best to make the most of the markets with our astrology knowledge. We are also going to talk a good bit about good investing habits and practices overall, and what the best traders do, and why they do it, and how that makes sense or doesn’t make sense astrologically.
To Join the group: Make the payment as directed below, and then send me an email to corey@eyeoftheveda.com and title it “crypto zoom study group”. Be sure to follow the payment procedure listed below and your email will be on the list! If you are paying with crypto, all you have to do is share the first few digits of your wallet address in the email, and include what coin you paid with so I can confirm your payment. If paying with venmo or paypal, just share your email in the “note” part of the payment. This will be the email that I send the zoom link invite to.
Fee: $25/USD or $14/BTC, ETH, or XLM. You get a video recording of the session to go over afterwards, as well as any relevant pdfs of jyotish or market material. And those that are taking the course after the live class will still get the same material as well as the recap message that I send to everyone after the live class. (There is a discount if you pay with crypto because that shows you are serious and already have some understanding of the market, and are more likely to be an asset to the group. I also want to encourage people to actually use these coins over fiat currency.)
Payment:
The crypto payment may seem intimidating at first but is very simple. Just send crypto to one of the wallet addresses I list below, and then when you write me your email, mention what coin you paid with and give the first couple digits of the crypto wallet address. That way I know it was you. When that goes through you are on the lineup and can expect a zoom invite link just 10 minutes before the class. (For example if I was paying with bitcoin as my payment, in the note I would say my address starts with “bc1q”. These are the last few digits of my bitcoin wallet address listed below. If paying with Litecoin I would give “ltc1q4″.)
(If you can pay with one of those simple crypto options it is preferable.)
Now for those that have coinbase, there is an even simpler way to pay with no fees at all, and without all that complication:
If you use your desktop coinbase exchange account, you can now send me any coin on coinbase, and to send it to me all you need is my email.

The 4th Financial Astrology study group will be this friday, May 7th, at 10:30 AM, EDT time, for 1.5-2 hrs! The previous 3 classes were a lot of fun! I suggest taking those as prerequisites but it is not required. Links to the previous classes can be found at the bottom of the page.

Previous Financial Astrology Classes:
Class Number 1 Link. Follow the instructions on this post to purchase:
The third financial astrology zoom class is scheduled for this friday, April 30th, at 9:30 AM, EDT time. We will continue learning the fundamentals of financial astrology as well as forecast future events, focusing mainly on the exploding cryptocurrency market at this time. Though most of the techniques shared in these classes work equally as well for stock market trading, and even gambling. Generally all jyotisha techniques for udaya (raising up in life, and making more money) tend to be applicable on a number of levels.
The class structure will be the same as the others, with a lesson in the beginning portion, and include a 5 minute break around the 45 minute mark. After we focus more on an open Q and A style and offer more input from the group and a forecast for the coming weeks.

The first class was a great success! We also have new students joining in, and anyone who missed the first class can still order a copy here. The second class will be Wednesday April 14th, 2021 at 10:45 EDT time. We will meet for 45 minutes, then have a short 5 minute bathroom break, and then start back up with a Q and A section for another 45 minutes. In the first portion I will go over some techniques and principles for investing and financial astrology, and then give examples to demonstrate. Then the second portion is more loosely structured, with more feedback from the group.

Join my financial astrology and cryptocurrency zoom study group! The first meetup will be this Wednesday, April 7th, 10:45 AM EDT time. We will learn the ropes of financial astrology as well as forecast future events. I am eager to share what I have learned about seeing market fluctuations with Jyotish.
The way this first one will be structured, is we will study together for 45 min, then take a short 10 min recess, bathroom break, etc. Then we will have another 45 minute session afterwards. In this study group we will go over the keys of learning how to create financial abundance with astrology and investing overall, with the main focus being on cryptocurrency. I have a lot of great info to share and this will hopefully be an ongoing thing, if I can get a good turnout. The first part, I will go over ideas or techniques I have found very useful, and in the second part we will have more of a Q and A style format and will include more collaboration and input from the group as we try to forecast the future market trends.
If you are curious about what I have been up to the last 11 months or so, one thing I have been doing during the pandemic is studying financial astrology quite intensely! Im finally ready to share all the research and insights I have made and hopefully help generate as much abundance as possible for my fellow humans.
Here is a fun video where I chatted with my teacher Ernst Wilhelm about some fun financial astrology predictions I made over the course of 2020 and 2021.
Fee: $20/USD or $10/BTC, ETH, or XLM. You get a video recording of the session to go over afterwards, as well as any relevant pdfs of jyotish or market material.

Hi and welcome back to the Eye of the Veda blog. This is Kelley, an Astrology Apprentice and student of Corey’s. Today, I’ll be highlighting some of his recent predictions surrounding the eclipse cycles of 2020. They were all incredibly accurate and specific; so much so, that I wanted to do a follow-up blog post to show the benefit and power behind using Vedic Astrology correctly.
For example, in December 2019, Corey spoke about the potential for severe economic turmoil as well as inflammatory-related health issues; long before Coronavirus even hit the news in the U.S.
In fact, in a short and casual Facebook post that Corey shared with friends and family, he specifically predicted that these planetary influences will cause economic and health-related issues that will impact Asia the most (remember the Coronavirus ‘started’ in China). He also touched on the fact that the Moon rules the respiratory system, and the North Node of the Moon (Rahu), rules viruses.
He wrote this on December 28th, 2019 at 10:06 AM:
Here is the link, below is a screenshot in case this is ever deleted from Facebook.
I also remember Corey telling me how bad these eclipses could be when he was reiterating what his teacher, Ernst Wilhelm, had explained to him back in November 2017. When the virus first hit the U.S., I also remember Corey saying he had a month worth of rice and beans already stored because he had been so aware of the major changes that were on the way.
“My teacher told me and others back in 2017 how bad this (Jan 2020) eclipse was going to be, and how it was going to cause major economic and survival issues for the planet. So I knew what was coming and I already had a month worth of beans and rice on hand for this winter because I was quite certain major changes were going to take place as a result of these eclipses in the changeable signs of Cancer and Capricorn.” —Corey Dowds
So let’s circle back for anyone who doesn’t already see the connections: The Moon rules the Respiratory, Urinary, and Circulatory systems. The Moon also controls the flow of the tides on our planet in the same way it controls the flow of water within our own bodies. The Coronavirus is considered to be a “wet” virus, and is believed to primarily impact the lungs and respiratory system. As mentioned earlier, the Moon rules the lungs / respiratory system, and is coincidentally the wettest planet of all. The transit of Rahu (Viruses) over Cancer, the sign of the Moon, along with all the other bad health and disease indications of this eclipse made it very likely that some sort of widespread inflammatory respiratory issue would occur.
In the post, Corey also mentioned swelling and issues related to water retention (the primary symptoms the Coronavirus is causing ie: inflammation of the lungs). He also specifically stated that the respiratory system was targeted at this time and that “issues could occur around that system.”
“The eclipses here will bring water and flooding issues. Also in a medical sense more people may have water retention issues, swelling, constipation, or issues with the blood flow and water in the body. The Moon rules the circulatory/urinary/respiratory system, issues could occur around that system.” – Corey Dowds
The Moon is said to rule over swelling and inflammation to some degree, as it moves the tides of the earth, and appears to “swell” and grow half of the month, and then receded and wane the other half. He explained that this was known in ancient times even:
“These characteristics of the Moon were known even in ancient times when Hippocrates clearly stated that no one should conduct surgery on a part of the body that is ruled by the sign of the zodiac that the Moon is transiting. This is because wherever the Moon is transiting is likely to be more swollen because more blood flow will be circulating to that body part at that time. Going through with surgeries under these transits is likely to increase the amount of blood loss and possible complications than at another time.” -Corey Dowds
So we already have a historical precedent for the Moon and its ability to cause swelling and inflammation, especially when afflicted, or during an eclipse time. This is EXACTLY what COVID-19 causes according to WebMD: “The new coronavirus can infect the upper or lower part of your respiratory tract. It travels down your airways. The lining can become irritated and inflamed.” SOURCE: WebMD Medical Reference Reviewed by Neha Pathak, MD on March 25, 2020
As previously mentioned, it is well known how Rahu (North Node of the Moon) rules viruses…. a commonly known fact in Vedic and Medical Astrology. Cancer, being ruled by the Moon, is the zodiac sign connected to the lungs and respiratory system. So when Rahu crossed Cancer, planet earth was scheduled to have a lung / respiratory-related virus emerge.
It’s also interesting how Corey highlighted Capricorn as being ruled by the planet Saturn, and how that connects to the muscular and lymphatic systems, both ruled by Saturn. As a result of the Coronavirus, much of the world was forced into a total lockdown/quarantine. So in relation to the Capricorn/Saturn reference, the entire planet did end up feeling rather cooped up and isolated as a result of these eclipses, just as expected. The planet Saturn rules death, disease, loss, poverty, poor health, wandering, depression, delays, despondency, and feeling stuck in life.
This was the advice that the CDC was giving to people: “Try to take a walk, try to maintain your routine and not forget to exercise while you are in the lockdown, etc.” which is the exact advice Corey gave (using Vedic Astrology), an impressive 6 months earlier.
In hindsight, another interesting point is how Saturn rules isolation, and this eclipse created a lot of isolation for people, among many other things that Saturn rules. Corey pointed out that almost all of the planets were in signs ruled by Saturn when we had the eclipse in January 2020….. as a result, many of Saturn’s significations dominated the collective world this year.
As for the economic crisis…. Corey had previously mentioned his teacher, Ernst Wilhelm, having already forecasted dire economic issues for the world in 2020. Ernst said this way back in 2017, while Corey and a few other astrologers were hanging out in Ernst’s living room enjoying a giant salad. With that in mind, look at what Corey wrote on the Eye of the Veda blog on November 25th, 2019, long before the economic crash of 2020:
(That’s a link to the previous blog post, but here is a screenshot so you can see it more clearly in your browser window, or in case it ever gets deleted.)
Literally, the first thing he said is that these upcoming eclipses are going to cause world-changing events and major economic shifts….. “There could be economic or survival threats…”
(Note: Corey chose not to elaborate on this too much as it was already predicted by so many other astrologers. Even one of his colleagues, Ganesh Jayakumar, predicted the major economic crisis down to the exact months of February and March of 2020. He forecasted this on a forum in 2017: Click here to read more about that from Ganesha’s website.)
In is blog post from November of 2019, Corey also pointed out how major long term changes are likely to occur during this time period as a result of the strong emphasis on the ‘cara’ or changeable signs. He also mentions how many of these big worldly structures and systems that rule us, will be hit with a long-overdue reality check.
Think about how much faith we have lost in our worldly structures and systems over the last several months. Faith and trust in the mainstream media continues to decline tremendously, as well as in the modern medical world as more stories of corruption and for-profit caregiving surface. Countless celebrities and elite figures have also taken a fall this year; so many that it would require an entire additional post to cover them all. A few worth mentioning though would be: Ellen Degeneres, Madonna, Prince Andrew, Harvey Weinstein, and Ghislaine Maxwell.
Let’s focus on Ellen for example, who has had this eclipse falling in her first and seventh house axis, as a Cancer lagna. The first house is the house of the self, and the seventh is the house of other-selves, and hence the public and one’s public image. It certainly seems her public image has been “eclipsed” over the last year.
Apparently, Ellen has been called one of the “meanest people alive” and a Twitter thread about this received over 2,000 responses. I wanted to highlight this because in his eclipse prediction video, Corey explains how the sign of Capricorn rules the elite…. but even more interestingly, it is Saturn who rules Capricorn, and Saturn is the planet who rules the masses and common folk. It is always the people/common folk that actually empower and support the rulers. As current events unfold, it seems many more people are beginning to realize that the elite cannot remain in power without the support and cooperation of the masses. There is an underlying theme of using unity to overcome and take down corrupt Capricorn figures both on the entertainment and government platforms. Ellen, who had her house burglarized over the 4th of July weekend, is just one quick example of Saturn responding.
Cancer is also the sign of one’s dwelling space and home, and is Ellen’s first house, where the eclipse occurred. We had a Lunar eclipse on July 5th, one day after the fourth of July, the day Ellen’s home was robbed. (It is also worth noting that Ghislaine Maxwell was also indicted within a few days of this eclipse, but that require another article to properly address.)
The first and seventh houses are the houses of the self, (1st) and the other self (7th) aka the public. One’s overall popularity can have a lot to do with the seventh house. With the eclipses in these parts of her chart, she has lost her power to influence the public during this eclipse.
“They say when Saturn is happy with you, he makes your name remembered for a very long time. They say if Saturn is unhappy with you and the karmas you have been performing, he destroys any trace of your existence from the world. It appears that Saturn has been busy with what I refer to in this video as a changing of the guard(s).” —Corey Dowds
With this eclipse, Saturn has been busy ‘dethroning’ all of the elite figures who are not karmically meant to remain in their position for the next 30-year cycle of Saturn. We have seen this with numerous CEO resignations, and we have seen this with high-level people finally being sentenced to prison in the case of Harvey Weinstein.
