In this episode of Third Eye Roll, we drop into the electric portal of the New Moon Eclipse in Dhanistha Nakshatra — landing on the sacred night of Maha Shiva Ratri, when stillness itself becomes transformation.

We unpack what eclipse season really does to your nervous system, your relationships, and your life trajectory (spoiler: it’s not subtle), while exploring the rare planetary pile-up activating collective awakening and personal breakthroughs.

Then we dive into one of Shiva’s most potent myths — the churning of the cosmic ocean — where poison, nectar, chaos, devotion, and divine restraint collide. Why does Shiva drink the poison? What does stillness have to do with alchemy? And how do eclipses force our own inner churning toward truth and clarity?

Expect astrology that actually makes sense, myth that hits the body, and spiritual wisdom with a Third Eye Roll twist.

This one’s about surrender, recalibration, and letting transformation move through you instead of fighting it.

Takeaways:
• What eclipse season activates in your life (and why things feel intense)
• How Dhanistha energy pushes collective and personal evolution
• Shiva’s poison-to-nectar myth as a roadmap for transformation and nervous system regulation

Chapters:

The New Moon rises in Mūla Nakshatra, the star of twisted roots, uprooting, and radical truth — and it arrives wrapped in the liminal threshold of Gandānta, the karmic knot where water turns to fire, endings demand honesty, and rebirth cannot be postponed.

In this episode of Third Eye Roll, Dr. Justine Lemos and Emily McConnell dive into the mythic, astrological, and nervous-system realities of this potent moment at the end of 2025. We explore Mūla’s fierce medicine of dissolution, the goddess Nirṛti (the remover, not the punisher), and why some things don’t need healing — they need ending.

We unpack:

• 🌑Mūla Nakshatra as the root-puller, truth-revealer, and cosmic exorcist
• Gandānta as an umbilical-cord crossing between karmic lifetimes
• Ketu’s role in disenchantment, detachment, and past-life clearing
• 🔢Numerology shift: 2025 as a Mars-ruled 9-year of endings → 2026 as a Sun-ruled 1-year of exposure and rebirth
• Honey as a Ketu remedy, sweetness as medicine for the scorpion’s sting
• Film, music, and symbol picks that carry Mūla’s strange, haunting beauty

This is not a “manifest your dreams” New Moon.
This is a finish the contract, compost the karma, and stop negotiating with what’s already dead moment.

If grief rises, you’re doing it right.
If clarity comes suddenly, trust it.
Mūla doesn’t ask what you want — it asks what is over.

Pull it out by the root.

In this wildly cosmic and deeply grounded episode of Third Eye Roll, Justine and Emily dive headfirst into the psychedelic storm of Rahu entering Shatabishaka—the star of 100 healers, 100 illusions, and the shadow scientist inside all of us. Cue spiritual hypochondria, Google-diagnosed awakenings, black-bug omens, and one extremely on-theme tick encounter.

With Saturn finally moving direct in Pisces and Mercury straightening itself out, the grown-ups have walked back into the room… and they’re asking whether your healing journey is medicine or madness (spoiler: sometimes both).

Expect couture lab coats, futuristic headpieces, Rahu-coded fashion, AI expansions, ascension-syndrome snark (“You’re not ascending, you're just ungrounded”), plus a detour into Woodstock 1969, the Unix epoch, MAS*H, and why the universe apparently wants us all to become low-key engineers of our own psyche.

Justine closes with the myth of Matsya and the Great Flood, revealing how Saturn in Pisces is the steady hand that pulls us through dissolution into renewal.

Stay to the end for Yatra gossip, Spain retreat teasers, and the most Rahu-coded sign-off ever.

In this episode of Third Eye Roll, Dr. Justine Lemos and Scarlett Trillia dive into the mystical mathematics of the number 108 and its deep ties to the sun, moon, and eclipses in Vedic astrology. From Rahu and Ketu’s shadow play to Purvabhadrapada’s lightning-strike energy, we explore how cosmic ratios mirror human consciousness, the dance of Shiva and Shakti, and why eclipses carry both illumination and disruption.

Along the way, we trace 108 through malas, Sanskrit sounds, nakshatras, baseballs, golf, Fatboy Slim, Lost, and fashion cut-outs. We also unpack the shadow side of the divine masculine in public spaces, the harmonics of divine feminine/masculine balance, and the unexpected story of Scarlett’s literal “cosmic slap.”

Tune in for myth, math, pop culture, and a flash of awakening that might just slap you into your own next evolution.

Rahu enters Aquarius—and the Matrix just got an upgrade. In this electrified episode of Third Eye Roll, Dr. Justine Lemos and Scarlett Trillia decode what this cosmic shift means through the lens of Vedic astrology, cultural identity, and rapid technological evolution.

They tackle the shadow side of Rahu—the head without a body—and link it to our current obsession with disembodied knowledge, AI, and performative spirituality. Drawing on the myth of Dadhichi and the allegory of The Matrix, they explore sacrifice, awakening, and the cost of chasing truth in a world where everything is content.

From critiquing the Western commodification of yoga and astrology to asking what it means to truly “wake up,” this episode doesn’t just break down a transit—it unplugs you from the simulation.

Season 2 kicks off with Justine and Scarlett decoding the ancient concept of Sangha—your chosen spiritual fam—and asking the big questions: How is it different from a cult? Can a podcast community count as one? And why does chanting together hit harder than scrolling Instagram? We break down the hormonal science of group practice, wander from Buddhist forests to underground raves, and drop a myth from the Bhagavata Purana about sages gathering in the forest to listen. Along the way, we roast fake wellness fads, unpack the science of sound, and take a few side trips into The Matrix, Sister Sledge, and Catholic church acoustics. Whether you’re in it for the cosmic science, the cult-free community vibes, or the fashion tips for planetary dressing, welcome to the Third Eye Roll Sangha.

In this raw shadow-soaked episode, Justine Lemos and Emily McConnell descend into the basement-level truths of a wild Scorpio stellium and the New Moon in Anuradha Nakshatra. With Mercury retrograde, Mars and Moon in Scorpio, and Venus smoldering in Libra, this is a conversation about secrecy, devotion, power, obsession, and the thin line between concealment and revelation.

From underground raves and lotus flowers growing out of the muck, to global politics, taboo topics, and cultural shadow, the duo explores the archetypal terrain of Scorpio: sex, power, death, trauma, secrets—and transformation. Film references like Black Swan and American Beauty, along with dark, magnetic music picks (Billie Eilish, underground hip-hop), amplify the episode’s sultry, dissonant, and entrancing vibe.

A powerful Vedic myth of Brahma, Agni, Indra, and Vayu delivers the spiritual message of the episode: true power is not in domination, but in humility and curiosity. The blade of grass becomes the symbol of divine intelligence, reminding listeners that knowledge, not conquest, is the ultimate victory.

This episode is a ritual in itself — part astrology lesson, part cultural critique, part devotional meditation, and part shadow dance.

Themes:
Scorpio secrets • Anuradha devotion • Power + concealment • Shadow integration • Erotic mysticism • Truth behind illusion • Knowledge as liberation
