Astrology is a game of Jumanji
Let's brave the stampede and respawn wisely
In this episode of Ithee Gum, we turn to one of the most powerful yet painful inheritances of all: jadhagam/ Vedic Astrology.
A Treasure Hunt to Ourselves
Our parents’ marriages were decided by it and later blamed on it.
Our failures were sometimes written off as “in the stars.”
And at some point, many of us wondered: Do I just have a bad chart? Am I one of the unlucky ones?
You are the passkey to the decrypted code that is the chart; we dig in through it with whodunit games to decipher the map. Like any good heist movie, you need a team. Different skills. Different instincts. Different questions. Newbies learn the alphabet of the language while the accustomed ones get the thrill out of the game as we come together, on a slow Sunday afternoon, and crack the sky open.

About the Series:
I-thee-Gum is a series by Varshini Subramanian about questioning traditions/itheegum that we were taught to follow, eyes closed and voices quiet. What once carried wisdom also carried fear; belief quietly turned into a burden. We’re here to renew these traditions with clarity and curiosity,y so they serve us, not chain us.
