When Saturn and Jupiter influence one another you get potential for very great persons to be born. Persons who lead society forward in new directions and who have heightened spiritual interests and talents. For example a lot of really cool stuff happened the in 1969-1971 when this happened. Cool events, movements, and very interesting, often [...]
Each generation has a sort of signature or theme to it. It is the slow moving planets – Saturn and the lunar nodes – Rahu & Ketu – which govern these long term themes as they gradually move through the 12 signs. Even every year has a certain flavor to it… determined mostly by the [...]
The three most fundamental components of astrology are the planets, the zodiac signs, and the houses. Envision in your mind three spheres… contained within one another, like those russian dolls? The middle sphere is the planets. It is actually made up of 9 onion like layers which each moves independently - rotating, spinning, each at a different speed. [...]
Because sometimes, no actually most of the time, the people who practice Vedic astrology are just… well… boring at best, bleak most of the time, and downright depressing often. Time and time again, I have people come to me saying something along the lines of, “wow, I never knew I had any real hope in my [...]
Here is how I see it: Jupiter rules Pisces. Jupiter is the planet of ethics and morality. These are confusing topics if you try to get deep about them at all. Since pisces is a water sign, she does try to get deep about them. But since Pisces is a dual sign, she finds herself oscillating, [...]
There are five special alignments in astrology which will produce five varieties of outstanding people.

How in God’s name do you make sense out the cryptic symbols of an astrological chart? First of all you have to learn what each individual planet, house and sign represents. You can’t skip that. So let’s say you learned that and are pretty comfortable with your understanding of it. You still look at a [...]
An astrological birth chart will spell out (to those who know how to “read” astrological language) the promises which destiny makes you in your lifetime. But it is the dashas – the chronological planetary cycles or eras in your life – which will determine if and when fate will be able to fulfill those promises. [...]
Maybe astrologers should stop trying to “read” charts and start trying to hear them? An astrological chart has a full spectrum of possible notes it can play. The planets in that chart will choose which notes to play and which others to silence. The trick to interpreting a chart accurately is to be able to hear [...]
I’ve seen this for a long time in my astrological practice and theory, but recently it has really hit home and become a tangible realization for me. There is a lot of good to be had from bad things. People with lots of “blessings” and nice things, everything easy and comfortable, those people are almost [...]
