This is a continuation from previous posts. The True Sidereal Zodiac One thing is very certain, there is a sidereal zodiac in Indian astrology, and I bet in all astrological systems from the ancient great cultures. Yet this sidereal zodiac is not twelve but twenty-eightfold! The Sun and Moon, kings of the heavens, travel through [...]
Authoritative Statements? So far (see previous parts) I feel confident that about 2,000 years ago we mistakenly projected one zodiac system upon another. And logic has me fairly well convinced that the original system was tropical, and sidereal was the mistaken projection. The logic is that the qualities of the twelve divisions are all rationally [...]
Which is the Correct Twelvefold Division of the Zodiac? The evidence so far convinces me that about 2,000 years ago we made the mistake of projecting one zodiac system onto another. The question remains: which zodiac was original and which was the erroneous projection? Now I will set out to answer this question. Some feel [...]
This is a continuation from Part I. What is the Sidereal Zodiac? Since it is not truly an exact representation of the stars themselves, what really is the sidereal zodiac? It is almost the same as the tropical zodiac. Both of them are defined in the same manner: The zodiac is the relatively narrow band [...]
The universe is, quite obviously, our mother – “mother nature.” The stars and planets of the heavens are her body. The movements of those planets and stars is the “body language” or “sign language” that our mother uses to help us navigate an understand the destinies we have created for ourselves over countless lifetimes on [...]
There are several medieval and ancient Sanskrit astrology textbooks that have a great wealth of knowledge – but are completely misunderstood by readers without the cultural background required to correctly approach them. This handicap is not the special curse of non-Indian’s by any means! All humans since the dark ages have lost the intellectual culture [...]

My Answer First it would be good to admit that the culture who came up [...]
Student: Before I studied astrology with you, I thought that it could never predict spiritual things since spiritual things transcend karma. But reading your descriptions of Prabhupada and Aindra’s horoscopes shows me this is not the case. Vic: Yes, excellent question. It is important to have a clear and conclusive understanding of this topic. The [...]
Every human being, regardless of their horoscope, goes through the same sequence of natural development. These natural eras in human life (“naisargika dasha”) are the same for everyone: Birth – 1 year: The Moon 1 – 3 years: Mars 3 – 12 years: Mercury 12 – 32 years: Venus 32 – 50 years: Jupiter 50 [...]
The universe is a mirror. It reflects the truth of your soul. The most active area of the universe, from our point of view on Earth, is the Zodiac, through which all the planets move and thus mark the unfolding of divine, universal time. The zodiac is a circle. Circles have no beginning and no [...]
