I've developed a fairly unique system of astrology, based on my personal exploration of ancient texts on this divine science. I'd like to tell you a bit about it.

Basic Philosophy

First of all, I absolutely do not believe that you are controlled by stars and planets. Humans are the "adults" of this world, so we have freedoms. With freedom comes responsibility, which is why adults are held responsible for their actions. What many perceive as "fate" or "destiny" is really the universe holding us responsible for how we have used our freedom.

I absolutely do believe in reincarnation. It is merely the "Law of Conservation of Energy" applied to the energy of our souls. For many lifetimes we have used or misused our freedoms, and that's why we start this life with a certain "destiny" already in place.

The configuration of heaven and earth when you are born reveals your initial destiny for this lifetime.

Why? I really don't think it is because the planets and stars somehow influence us with rays, gravitons, waves, or whatever. Instead, I believe it is because our compassionate mother, the universe, wants to communicate to her children and guide us via the movements of her body, the stars and planets.

Nine Planets

In astrology a "planet" is a light up there in the sky that, unlike other lights, has freedom to move. The Sun is an astrological "planet," and so is the Moon, because they are lights in the sky with freedom to move amidst the thousands of other lights that seem eternally fixed into their positions. The other lights-that-move are the other astrological planets: Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn.

Neptune and other stuff you can only see with a telescope are not astrological planets, at least not in my system. Astrology is sign language from our universal mother. It would defeat her purpose to use gestures that most of humanity through most of history is completely blind to.

There are other astrological planets, though. Two of them are especially important: Rahu and Ketu. These are the eclipse points, often called "the north and south nodes."

Zodiac Signs and Stars

The planets are the lights in the sky that move. We measure that movement in two ways: relative to the stars, and relative to the earth. I use 27 Vedic sidereal stars to measure their stellar movement; and 12 more familiar tropical signs to mesure their earthly movement.

Thus, my system of astrology unites sidereal and tropical points of view. If you want to learn more about it: Reconciliation of the Tropical and Sidereal Zodiacs.

Twelve Houses

The relationship between the eastern horizon and the 12 zodiac signs creates twelve distinct zones in the sky, called "houses." The sign rising on the eastern horizon is the first house. The next sign is the second, and so on. This definition of houses is very ancient, and full of mystical relevance and logic. These days it's called a "Whole Sign House System."

Each house pertains to a different area of life. If you want to learn the symbolism of the houses in a very clear and simple way, you could watch my video on the twelve houses.

Other Stuff

Aspects, time phases, returns, dignity, and remedy are other important factors of astrology in which I have specific methods which set me apart from the majority. If you would like to know more, you could read the faq.

Services

I hope to develop good, honest, long-term relationships with those who I teach and those whose charts I read. It is an honor to be able to work with the great, ancient and divine science of astrology and I try to conduct myself as befits that honor - without being too stuffy, distant, or weird. =)

Speaking of services, here are the pages for my readings and classes.


	Important Notices! In my opinion, signs (राशि) are tropical and stars (नक्षत्र) are sidereal. This is how I calculate charts. More info » If you have already had a personal consultation with me you do not need to pay for specific readings beforehand anymore. More info »
