Integrity Among Astrologers?!

“Astrologers” today are busy cranking out thousands of “predictions” in the hope that one will come true and make them famous in the eyes of innocent, naive onlookers. When one prediction comes true, the dozens of failed predictions suddenly disappear. The astrologer is praised by fools, and like a fool he accepts this praise around [...]

I just completed this video yesterday. It attempts to share with you a very simple, yet profoundly deep way to understand the 12 houses of astrology. Please enjoy and share it! – Vic DiCara www.vicdicara.com

Getting Started with “Dasha” Timecycles

Every horoscope has a timeline, called the “dasha” cycle. This timeline defines when something seen in the horoscope will unfold. Thus a single horoscope can show indicates for both extreme poverty and extreme wealth. Mapped to the dasha cycle timeline, the planets causing the poverty will bring financial hardship during their cycles, while the planets [...]

New and Changing Zodiac Signs?

People are once again in a tissy that maybe there should be 13 zodiac signs, and that the “signs” that are popular in the west are not the same as the actual constellations of the zodiac.   13 SIGNS? This kind of stuff is only written by people who don’t know the rudimentary abc’s of [...]

Art & Beauty

Beauty What placements would indicate beauty or handsomeness? The beautiful planets are: Venus, Mercury, Jupiter and the Moon. This is in decreasing order, but they are all quite beautiful. The ugly planets are: Mars, Saturn, Nodes, and Sun… Again in decresing order. The nodes are wildcard, with aspects from beeautiful planets they can really amplify [...]

Western Aspects and Vedic Aspects

Aspects are the most poorly understood aspect of Vedic schools of astrology. Even “Vedic astrologers” seldom know what Vedic aspects really are. It is a real shame. The beauty of Vedic astrology is that its ancient form is still largely intact. This gives us access to the way global astrology was practiced centuries and millennia [...]

Astrology in the Age of Darkness

Here is an excerpt from the book I am writing. It is the very first rough draft of the 3rd chapter. Astrology has earned itself a bad name as a result of being exploited and diluted by mass media to the point of parody. A few people are just so into astrology that they love [...]

The Impact of Implicit Transits on Aspect Patterns

Here is where east meets west. Actually if you have your wits about you, you’ll know that its not about “east meeting west” but about seeing the link between what is modern and what is ancient. In ancient astrology, which for the most part is what Vedic astrology is, every planet aspected the sign opposite [...]

East vs. West in the Astrological Wrestling League

Predictions vs. Psychology? I think honestly that Vedic astrology is categorically superior as it exists today to the “western” schools as they exist today. I think astrology, really honestly, is about making predictions. Even to be psychologically effective you need to be able to make accurate predictions about how the native will react to various [...]

Why I Sometimes Hate Vedic Astrology

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.
