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.

‘Blind chart analysis’ is a procedure in which an astrologer predicts the past events and present condition of a native only by looking into the horoscope, without having a prior knowledge about the native. Astrologers practice this method for many reasons: for birth-time rectification, to bring faith in the client about the efficacy of astrology, to test the astrological techniques, to find out which method suits best for the given case, and to demonstrate his/her predictive abilities.
To do ‘blind chart analysis’ successfully an astrologer should have very sound knowledge of the subject, vast experience, good intuition and a bit of luck also.
This book contains 10 case studies where I have applied the technique of ‘blind chart analysis’ – predicting the past and present condition of the native without knowing anything beforehand. |

Light on Life brings the insight and wisdom of Indian astrology to the Western reader. Jyotish, or Indian astrology, is an ancient and complex method of exploring the nature of time and space and its effect upon the individual. Formerly a closed book to the West, the subject has now been clarified and explained by Hart de Fouw and Robert Svoboda, two experts and long-term practitioners. In Light on Life they have created a complete and thorough handbook that can be appreciated and understood by those with very little knowledge of astrology. Jyotish states that by considering the state of the cosmos when an event occurs, we can begin to understand its nature-and to prepare an appropriate response. Although there are similarities with Western astrology there are also profound differences. Jyotish is, above all, infused with the religious, psychological and physical spirit of India. This comprehensive and enlightening book on the subject will prove a necessity to every astrologer or student of Indian thought. |

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" |
