Vedic Astrology
Astrology has a long and honorable tradition in
India. The traditional
Hindu
form of astrology is known as Jyotisha (known in the West as "Vedic Astrology"),
and stems from the Vedas (ancient Hindu religious texts).
As far as prediction is concerned, the key concept underlying
Vedic astrology is the concept of fate.
Vedic astrologers believe three key things about this:
- The good and bad actions that a soul has performed in previous lives determine the fate
(karma) of each individual in his or her present life.
- Good and bad actions of individuals done now, will determine their
fate (karma) in future.
- Fate depends on the exact time and place in which a person is born,
and is linked to the motions of celestial bodies.
From the above description, many people assume that Vedic astrologers would
argue that the future is almost entirely predetermined. However,
this is not generally what they say. Instead, Vedic astrologers usually
claim that astrology provides a guide which can be used to help each soul develop
towards its fullest potential - or, more prosaically, to help each person
understand who they are, what their personal strengths and weaknesses are,
and what possibilities the future might hold.
Furthermore, Vedic astrologers generally also say that astrology can
provide information about what sort of career and spouse might suit a person,
what pitfalls they may face in future, and perhaps remedial
measures that they should adopt to avoid future problems.
In short, fate determines the possibilities, astrology provides a tool to
help the individual navigate the possibilities: but each person's final destiny
remains in their own hands.

The Nakṣatra Sūtra is a treasure found in the Taittirīya Brāhmaṇa, a branch of the ancient Yajur Veda. Because of this, it holds unique importance and unparalleled authority among nakṣatra texts, for it allows us to understand the nakṣatras in much clearer accord with the Vedic sages who originally envisioned them. I also supplement the book with other sections from the Taittirīya Brāhmaṇa that also talk about the nakṣatras, and with a section entitled, The True Story of the Nakṣatra Gods: a dramatic narration of the 27 nakṣatra divinities, focused on what is most relevant to their nakṣatra’s symbolism. This original work pulls together diverse Purāṇic and Vedic source material to paint a vivid picture of often unknown tales and details essential for fully understanding the subtleties of the 27 Vedic stars. |

An integration of Yogic and Vedic principles begin this detailed examination of the 9 planets of Vedic Astrology as expressed through the 12 ascendants. The ascendant is the foundation of every chart, in this book each ascendant has at least 10 pages of explanation. It reveals the unique nature of each person, shown by the psychology of each planet. "Before we can effectively use Yogas, judge transits and use other advanced methods, our foundation must be strong and rooted in the firm soil of understanding. That understanding begins with the ascendant and planets as house lords. Once rooted in this fertile soil, advanced methods become clarified and the tree of Jyotish can grow. This allows our practice to be a shelter of truth and clarity to those who seek our guidance." - Excerpt from "The Ascendant" |
